Pokémon Breeding House Starting from Pirates

July 31st is the 31st day of the closed beta, and it is also the day when players enter the tenth level.

So far, 2,500 players have been 'killed' out of the 50,000 people in SAO, and more than half of the deaths are related to other players.

In the original work, 2,000 players died out of 10,000 people in one month, and they only conquered the first level. The highest level among the players was Kirito Lv.14.

Compared with the original work, the current direction is much superior. Whether it is the expansion of the number of players or the emergence of Pokémon settings, it has greatly accelerated the process of conquering this game.

Just three weeks ago, after Madara led the team to conquer the kobold lords on the first floor, he immediately formed a [Strategy Team] with more than 200 people present.

In the original work, this was a concept that would only appear in the fourth month, under the leadership of Kayaba Akihiko.

The strategy team is equivalent to the Kingdom of Lianhe. It is composed of many different guilds. They only come together when they want to defeat the boss on the first floor. They usually deal with their own affairs separately.

Currently, at least 10% of the more than 47,000 players are gathered on the tenth floor.

This also means that these 4,700 or so players are all in the first echelon and can become a member of the strategy team.

At the same time, within a month, guilds of various sizes began to be established.

There are three most well-known guilds.

The most famous guild must be [Akatsuki], founded by Madara and the first guild established in the game.

There are not many people, only 70 or 80 people, but the personal strength of these 70 or 80 people are among the top players in the entire game.

Ban adheres to the standard of "preferring to be lacking rather than excessive", and only accepts players with excellent combat ability and potential. The guild can help with level equipment and other matters.

The second guild is [Army], a guild that appeared in the original work. It is the largest guild in SAO, with currently more than 500 guild members.

The president is still Xinka, the manager of Neon's largest online game comprehensive information station "MMOTODAY".

Shinka's original intention of establishing the [Army] was to liberate SAO, lead all players back to the real world, and maintain order within SAO.

But according to the direction of the original work, in the future he will be deceived and framed by Vice-President Nagagaou and trapped deep in the maze beneath the Black Iron Palace.

Even before that, the actual manager of the [Army] was Kibaou, and after he was seriously injured in the battle on the 25th floor, he brought the people of the [Army] back to the starting town to dominate the local boss. Members are quite dissatisfied with this.

Until later, under the pressure of the members in the guild, they had to send a team to the 74th floor to conduct a raid. As a result, the raid leader Cobaz and several other members died.

After this incident, Kibaou was severely impeached by the members. Under a lot of pressure, he was forced to talk to Shinka in private and used the cloister crystal to imprison him in the underground maze of the Black Iron Palace. He was later rescued by Kirito and his wife and the cadre Yuriel. .

After this incident, Shinka disbanded and reorganized the [Army], and expelled Kibaou's followers forever.

However, at that time, everyone had already conquered the 74th floor, and on the 75th floor, Kirito would duel with Kayaba Akihiko and liberate SAO, so Shinka's move was of no use.

But when it comes to the contribution of the [Army], it is also very huge.

Without this guild, SAO's middle and lower-level players would have been in chaos long ago.

Nowadays, the president of the [Army] is still Xinka, but the vice president is not Kibaou. After all, there are too many people more capable than Kibaou, and Xinka will not choose Kibaou to come to power.

At the same time, the [Army] is also the largest component of the [Strategy Group]. Hundreds of people will be sent out every time the Boss is attacked, which is the backbone of the Boss attack.

The third guild, [Trainer Association].

This is the most special guild, because only [Trainers] can join this guild, and the current number of members is only about 50.

The president is the vice-president of the Neon Animal Protection Association, a very caring middle-aged vegetarian woman. Her Pokémon is Trumpet Sprout, and she once rescued two closed beta players on the first level.

There are two vice-presidents, namely ‘Cat Messenger’ Celia and ‘Flash Trainer’ Asuna.

In fact, the current number of trainers in SAO is at least two hundred.

However, places like [Akatsuki] and [Army] will definitely attract more capable people, and it is also possible that players who are in other guilds themselves will become trainers, so not all trainers will join the [Trainer Association] .

Another point.

The conditions for joining the [Trainers Association] are quite demanding and require a series of reviews.

For example, those players who use Pokémon as tools cannot join the Trainer Association. The people who can stay in the Trainer Association today are those who believe that Pokémon is not just a bunch of data, but a real entity. Players who have their own consciousness.

However, it is precisely because of this that in the eyes of many players, the players in the [Trainer Association] are a group of stupid people.

Because in addition to participating in strategy battles, these people in the [Trainers Association] also do some weird things.

For example, buy a variety of food in the store, and then go to the wild to feed those wild Pokémon.

Or you can spend your own money to buy building materials, and then build a comfortable nest for wild Pokémon to live in some relatively secluded places in the wild.

Something like this, which has almost no benefits, is incomprehensible to them.

Isn't it good to spend more time to farm monsters and increase your level?

However, those who think so are basically ordinary players, and those players who have become [Trainers] not only do not ridicule after hearing these things, but will secretly support them.

Only they themselves understand the reason, and they are too lazy to tell others.

These three major guilds are the largest, most well-known and most powerful guilds in the entire SAO. They are also the core of the [Strategy Group]. Basically all players will give face to the three major guilds.

In addition to the three major guilds, there are also some small guilds that are somewhat famous.

For example.

The [Holy Dragon Alliance] specializes in tracking players, and their main business is to snatch other people’s ‘last kill rewards’ or dropped ‘rare props and equipment’.

Originally this was the second largest guild in the game, with more than 300 members.

But after being blocked once by [Akatsuki] and [Army], 89% of the players in the guild quit, leaving only a group of iron-headed boys who were not afraid of death.

There is also a small guild [Wanderers] composed entirely of lone rangers.

The president of the guild is Kirito, the "trainer of dual swords", and the vice-president is an elusive and powerful swordsman that almost no one has ever seen.

This guild was founded by Kirito with the encouragement of Izuna.

After Kirito accidentally encountered a Sanren player who was out farming monsters alone and was attacked, he came up with the idea of ​​establishing a guild to protect Sanren. Izuna expressed support for his apprentice's idea.

There are actually very few direct killings in the game, and they are the 'bottom line' in the minds of most players.

But that’s because time is still short, and most players haven’t lost the humanity they’ve developed in the real world.

But there will definitely be such guilds established in the future, such as the [Titan's Hand] who specializes in fishing in the original book, and the even worse [Smiling Coffin] who takes pleasure in killing people.

. . .

The tenth level, the desert country.

Almost the entire floor of this floor is covered with yellow sand. Even in towns, wind and sand often blow on the players' faces. The living environment is very harsh, so as soon as they come to this floor, the players want to conquer it quickly. Go to the next level.

The average level of players on the 10th floor is: Lv.16, and the upper limit level is Lv.18.

As the upper limit of the experience bar at each level increases, the speed at which players upgrade slowly slows down. If they only rely on killing monsters, it will take about a week to reach the upper limit of this level.

In the tavern on the edge of the central town.

"You should still remember this boss on the tenth floor."

Izuna took a sip of the beer named [Sherry], took a look at it and thought it was pretty good, and then asked Kirito next to her.

"'Warrior Lord'."

Kirito certainly remembered that he had a very deep impression on that lord.

Because this is the boss that is most similar to humans during the entire closed beta period, and it is also the boss that is most similar to him.

The characteristic of this boss is the "double sword style", which uses two katana swords to fight.

There are no particularly flashy skills, but the level of swordsmanship is so powerful that it is so powerful that it is so powerful that when the three of them first entered the closed beta test, they were called "the boss with the strongest one-on-one ability".

Defeating this boss is not difficult.

Because the 'Samurai Lord' has no group attack skills, no matter how high its damage and critical hit rate are, it can only kill one player at a time.

Therefore, the closed beta players at that time broke through the 10th level without much effort.

But later, Kirito came to challenge him alone again, and was tortured to the point where he was completely beaten. He was convinced that it was a 'Boss that one person would never be able to challenge alone'.

After that battle, he went to find the past swordsmanship videos of several "Sword Masters" in Neon and found out that the "Samurai Lord" was the "Stitch Monster" created by Kayaba Akihiko based on those "Sword Master" videos.

Kirito believes that with the same attribute panel, among all the bosses in SAO, the single combat ability of the 'Samurai Lord' will be the most powerful, and no player can defeat it alone.

It wasn't until later that he brought the three of Dake over for a duel.

I remember that the level of the three of them was not high at that time, only Level 22.

The 'Samurai Lord' never hit Madara and Izuna from the beginning to the end, and was hacked to death by the two of them.

Although Dak suffered a few blows, his equipment was good enough to withstand it, and he finally succeeded in defeating the boss alone.

From then on, Kirito had a heartfelt respect for these three talents and called them 'sir'.

"I have already informed Nissan that you and Xuan La will fight the boss on this floor on your own."

Izuna grinned, looking at Kirito with a hint of teasing.

Kirito \u0026 Hura:

"Ah I?"

"New?"
