I am invincible and I travel through

Chapter 64: Sword Art Online, but Soul
[Nickname: I am rushing to the Holy Land for Luo Bao]

[Rank: First Order]

[Identity: Judge]

【Attributes……】

Luo Ji glanced at his personal panel.

In fact, just take a quick look at it. Most of the so-called attribute data can only be used as a reference. This thing essentially relies on the conceptual capabilities of the Sanctuary Paradise.

In other words, it's like putting a shell on you, and what you essentially earn resources to strengthen is this character skin, that is, the permissions provided by the Sanctuary Paradise.

It’s just that the ones that the Sanctuary Paradise has seriously started to cultivate are essentially just this shell from the beginning, and only outsiders like Luo Ji from the dragon clan have a layer of skin on top.

Of course, this does not mean that high-level contractors can be cloned mindlessly. The most precious core consciousness of the self, that is, the true spirit, cannot be easily replicated. The same resources can produce completely different effects in the hands of different ideologies.

"The Sanctuary Paradise is not short of grassroots contractors. After all, with such a large force, it is too easy to organize some grassroots militarized troops... The reason for adopting this model is mainly to cultivate the top strong ones."

A flash of enlightenment came into Luo Ji's mind again.

This information is extremely crucial, as it is the basis for him to come into contact with forces of this level in the future, or even to find a way to create a similar force on his own.

[Immediately enter the novice trial world...]

[Detected as a judge! The benefits and difficulty of this mission will be greatly increased! ]

"Although it is called a novice trial world, it is actually the same as the box universe. It was created by Sanctuary Paradise at its own expense and is used to train low-level contractors."

Although he was a novice, relevant information naturally emerged in Luo Ji's mind.

It has to be at least at the third level before one can make the initial attempt to go out and explore the world to gain profits for the Holy Land Paradise, which is what the dragon Luo Ji encountered before.

"Then I have to perform well and get more benefits, so that I can cheat more reasonably next time."

Luo Ji couldn't help but think.

Then there was a warm feeling as if an ordinary person was tightly wrapped by the skin of an African elephant. This was the Sanctuary Paradise being teleported.

【Transmitting...Transmitting completed.】

[World of this mission——Sword Art Online]

[Please refer to the world plot information being instilled...]

[Current world distortion: 34% (medium)]

[Main quest released: Successfully clear the Death Game]

"Oh, the mission, actually just take a look."

Luo Ji said lightly.

Anyway, his main way to become stronger comes from how to reasonably unlock the strength shared from the other Luo Ji under the nose of the Sanctuary Paradise. As for the rewards of the main tasks and side tasks, they are actually not important at all.

But it is actually still somewhat useful, and that is to assist Luo Ji in analyzing the rule shell of the Holy Land Paradise, so that he can cheat better and more reasonably.

And there was an intuition telling Luo Ji that if his authority in the Holy Land Paradise was improved to a certain level, he could use a shared talent to directly bind himself to this behemoth. Only then would he be able to truly reach the sky in one step.

[Arranging basic identity...]

When Luo Ji came to his senses, he was already in a rental house with a virtual stealth device placed next to him.

Posted on the wall is the launch date of the groundbreaking game masterpiece, abbreviated as SAO.

In fact, the contractor's observation ability is already being tested at this time.

At the beginning of the game, a hint was given that something was not right with the world's distortion.

And now, even if Luo Ji did not rely on his talent for foresight, he would have sensed something subtle wrong from the poster. The reason was that the Sanctuary Paradise had thoughtfully provided basic plot information for reference, and he could tell whether it matched the information by comparing it.

"This style... doesn't look like traditional Japanese light fantasy, but more like some games."

Luo Ji said in his heart in a tone that seemed like question but was actually affirmative.

There is actually still some room for operation at this time. After all, the original plot starts with a large number of players entering the game as soon as the server is launched, and then they are locked and unable to exit. There is still some time during this period, which is enough for Luo Ji to make some special operations.

However, Luo Ji was too lazy to waste time and directly put on his helmet and entered the game.

What followed was the familiar character creation and naming process. Luo Ji was so confident that he did not make any adjustments and entered the game using his real name.

When each player enters the game, they will be given a little basic money, as well as starting character attribute points and initial equipment preferences. This also involves the subsequent weapon proficiency, skill development system, etc. of the game.

So, what is finally reflected is...

【Please select your starting point】

[Knight: Main strength, the starting weapon is a straight sword. ]

[Mage: Mainly intelligence, the starting weapon is a staff. ]

[Emissary: ​​Main faith, the starting weapon is the Prayer Finger. ]

[Thief: Focuses on dexterity, and starts with a short curved sword.]

[Shield Guard: Mainly focuses on endurance, the starting weapon is a shield. 】

[Useless person: balanced attributes, but nothing at the beginning. ]

“This smell is even more familiar!”

Luo Ji couldn't help but complain in his heart, and then chose the thief start without hesitation.

In fact, useless people also have advantages at the beginning, that is, they will have more attribute points overall, and it will be very smooth no matter which direction they want to turn in later. However, Luo Ji doesn't care about this.

With his foresight, even the so-called cheaters were not as good as Luo Ji in terms of information on this game! Because this game has been adjusted a lot compared to the closed beta, it would definitely go wrong if you just follow the closed beta information. Now, Luo Ji's plan is to speed through this game with the thief's start.

Different starts also come with corresponding sets, but the overall bonus is just that.

In the square of the Initial Town, white lights flickered and a large number of players began to descend.

In response to this, Luo Ji ran all the way after he was born and soon came to a small alley in the Town of Origin.

The reason why he came here was because Luo Ji knew there was a hidden easter egg here, although it was a malicious one.

Luo Ji swung the short curved knife in his hand violently and chopped at the wall. Then the wall disappeared, revealing a hidden passage behind it that was extremely dark and without a trace of light.

Under normal circumstances, faced with this situation, the player should at least obtain props such as torches and lighting to continue exploring. However, Luo Ji was not afraid. He just rushed in fiercely and easily avoided many traps along the way. He even picked up several rare props.

When we reached the innermost part of the passage, we saw several caterpillars that looked like stone beads with eyeballs. Their eyes were emitting purple light, and they were all aimed at a relief stone formation with the same purple light in the center.

If you have completed side quests in other places at this time and obtained relevant information and intelligence clues, you will know the name of this place - the cage of the ownerless hound.

At this point, Luo Ji first directly attacked several monsters around him that looked like buildings.

Not only will these monsters not attack, but they will also drop special items called Relic Stones. Although the experience points they provide are fixed and relatively small, the most important thing is that Luo Ji is only level one now! In fact, this amount of experience points is quite considerable.

More than ten minutes later, Luo Ji had cleared all the insects around him. At the same time, he heard the faint sound of someone falling in the distance. It was obvious that someone had also discovered this place.

However, with the pitch-black maze-like structure filled with traps, even with lighting, it might take several hours to explore normally, so Luo Ji didn't need to worry at all.

Luo Ji looked at his level, which had been raised to more than ten levels, and directly added all the attribute points he had obtained to agility. The reason was that the attack power bonus of the weapon in his hand now mainly depended on agility, and the other pioneering artifact he was going to obtain next also had agility attribute requirement.

Afterwards, Luo Ji stepped forward and inserted a key into the little devil statue hidden in the darkness next to him.

This special item called Stone Sword Key was picked up by Luo Ji while parkouring all the way here.

After making this operation, Luo Ji will get a message prompting whether to enter the prison after touching the center of the stone formation.

"The ownerless hound is a high-attack, high-sensitivity, but fragile BOSS with a special mechanism. It happens to be what I can deal with at this stage."

Luo Ji thought so.

The Sanctuary Paradise also gave timely information prompts. This ownerless hound triggered a key side quest and would even reward good things like the Basic Swordsmanship Mastery Skill Scroll... although it was still useless to Luo Ji.

With a flickering figure, Luo Ji entered a special space. Here, you don't have to worry about others suddenly coming in to interfere with you in fighting for the BOSS. You just need to concentrate on the battle.

I saw a humanoid creature with long limbs, walking half-crouching, and a body a bit like a hound. He appeared in the cage with a giant curved knife in his hand, and then slowly approached Luo Ji with a deterrent posture.

In response, Luo Ji rushed forward and stabbed it with a knife. After leaving a virtual red wound, he did not hesitate to duck and dodge the guy's knife at an odd angle as if he had foreseen the future.

This guy is the type who doesn't have a strong desire to attack, or he won't chase you with crazy combos, but the angles of his attacks are particularly weird and difficult to dodge. He just happens to be restrained by Luo Ji. Otherwise, if a mindless numerical monster with a knife is really replaced, it would be difficult for Luo Ji to control it if he doesn't use more brutal cheats.

So, after grinding for a full ten minutes...

The ownerless hound fell to the ground with a bang, and the experience points provided directly allowed Luo Ji to reach level 20. It also dropped a limited weapon whose mechanism could be used even in the later stages - the hound's fang.

The most important thing about weapons in this game is not the stats, which can be supplemented by taking drugs, adding buffs, and strengthening equipment. The most important thing about weapons is the combat skills that come with them.

The weapon Hound Fang has two special mechanisms: bleeding effect and hound combat skill. The former can add bleeding status to the opponent and cause continuous and stable damage. Needless to say, the latter combat skill can be simply described as a normal attack followed by an invincible frame and a space slash to chase.

There are no invincible frames for rolling in this game, but some special mechanisms can achieve this, which can be regarded as a game backdoor left by someone for himself.

After the upgrade, Luo Ji still added all his attribute points to agility. This just exceeded the equipment requirements of the Hound's Fang, and directly replaced the basic short curved knife whose durability was almost used up.

Under normal circumstances, they should now run back along the same route they came from, but Luo Ji knew that this didn't require any more effort.

After a few minutes, a white light suddenly enveloped Luo Ji, and then he came to the landing square.

A barrier like a boss battle covered the entire square, and Kayaba Akihiko, the developer and originator of the death game Sword Art Online, appeared on the central statue as a man in a red robe.

Kayaba Akihiko was about to announce something, like giving away a small gift that would make all the faces that players had worked so hard to sculpt invalid and turn them into real people, or that no one would be able to quit and once they died it would be a real death and they would have to complete the death game... For some reason he felt particularly happy seeing other people suffer.

But at this moment, Kayaba Akihiko suddenly saw Luo Ji, who was standing at the front of the crowd, carrying a hound's fang.

While others generally only have one level or two poles, Luo Ji's two-digit level of more than 20 is somewhat too conspicuous.

After a brief silence, Kayaba Akihiko continued his prepared opening remarks.

However, people with sharp eyes have already noticed Luo Ji's existence.

This includes Kazuto Kiritani, the protagonist of the original plot.

"How can it be……"

Kiritani Kazuto couldn't help but mutter to himself, even Kayaba Akihiko's announcement of the death game didn't shock him as much as Luo Ji, after all, only the high-level players who had truly experienced the closed beta knew what was going on with Luo Ji.

"Then I'll be waiting for you at the throne on the 100th floor."

Kayaba Akihiko said this and then disappeared from the spot.

Luo Ji also received a reminder of the new side quest in the Sanctuary Paradise.

The reason is very simple. In the original plot, Kiritani Kazuto was the player with the fastest nerve reaction speed after being tested by Kayaba Akihiko. He was given a special skill set called Dual Swords. Now that Luo Ji is so popular, he will naturally receive corresponding gifts.

In other words, as a GM, Kayaba Akihiko actually hopes that someone will challenge him so that life in the other world will not seem too boring.

"It seems that the speed pass can be accelerated a little bit."

Luo Ji said calmly, then looked at the name of the special skill his game character had received.

【roll】

As mentioned before, there are no invincible frames in the normal rolling action of this game, and you will still take damage.

But now, Kayaba Akihiko has applied the patch of this soul-related game to Luo Ji's game character.
