This second dimension is too immortal

After a moment of silence, the man spoke, and his words surprised Kayaba Akihiko.

What does "no" mean? The easter egg that should be triggered only in the second round is triggered in the first round. Isn't this a bug?

"Well, it's hard to say. Maybe there is, Mr. Kayaba. You need to go and see it yourself. After all, this is a game you developed yourself, and you understand it better than me. At least in my opinion, I haven't found any bugs." said the man.

"Is that so... I understand."

Kayaba Akihiko thought about it and nodded slightly.

Indeed, Sword Art Online was developed by him alone, and no one knows this game better than him. Perhaps there really were some errors.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Kayaba Akihiko couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration in his heart. This was the first time he experienced such a situation.

Sure enough, it is not that easy to realize your dream.

Thinking about it, Kayaba Akihiko looked at the man and said, "I understand the situation. I'll go check it out later."

"By the way, is the reason their equipment is so good also due to similar circumstances?"

Similar to levels, they are obtained by triggering some Easter eggs.

Thinking about this, Kayaba Akihiko suddenly felt that it would be better to cancel all these messy Easter eggs to save trouble.

Kayaba Akihiko thought so, however, it seemed that this was not the case.

After hearing Kayaba Akihiko's question, the man's expression became even weirder. If his previous expression was like he had seen a ghost, then when he answered Kayaba Akihiko's question, his expression was like he had seen a god.

"It's a problem with the equipment... It seems that it's just because they are too lucky..."

Hearing this, Kayaba Akihiko was stunned again. The number of times he was stunned today was already equal to the number in the past year.

Kayaba Akihiko: ???

luck?

Chapter 357 Natural Enemy

The 22nd floor of Aincrad.

This is a wide square, surrounded by houses and buildings. In the center of the square is the teleportation point leading to each floor.

At this moment, there were a dozen or so players scattered around the square, all of them looking at the surrounding environment with curiosity.

This was their first time on the 22nd floor, and everything around them seemed so new and unfamiliar to them.

It is worth mentioning that although there are only a few of these people, there is a reason for this. These people can actually be regarded as the "high-end" players of this closed beta test.

Their levels have generally reached around level 20, and the equipment they have is not bad for them at this stage.

The experience required to level up in the game "SAO" is enormous. Each of these people can be said to be the hardest-working of the hard-working. Since the closed beta test, they have been online for an average of more than fifteen hours a day, and have never logged off except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. This is why they have the current level and equipment that lead the entire server.

but!

Even though these people are currently generally at level 20, given the difficulty of the game, it is impossible for them to reach the 22nd floor.

Because the level of the monsters in SAO changes with the number of floors. On the twenty-second floor, the monster level is twenty-two, which is higher than theirs.

In addition, there are elite monsters, which are small monsters with much stronger stats than ordinary monsters. In theory, players need to be 2-3 levels higher than the elite monsters to be able to kill them.

Then, what's even more amazing is that this game also has an NPC called Floor BOSS. The purpose of its existence is to guard the passage leading to the upper floor. Only after killing the Floor BOSS can the player go to the upper floor.

The value of the floor BOSS is so high that it cannot be simply measured by level. As the saying goes, if you touch it, you will die, and if you get close to it, you will be injured. This is why it usually takes a team of multiple people to attack the floor BOSS.

To sum up, according to the levels and equipment of these dozen people, they would be beaten to death by the BOSS on the fifth floor, let alone the 22nd floor.

So, how did they get to the 22nd floor?

Just as these people were curiously looking at the scenery on the 22nd floor, a server-wide message suddenly popped up in front of them.

At the same time, a notification sound with a strong mechanical texture rang in their ears:

[Congratulations to players: Honjo Souji, Mai means dancing, Haku, and the adorable witch, for completing the first kill of the 60th floor boss! Special announcement!]

[Note: The 60th floor boss has been killed, and the 61st floor passage is unlocked. You can currently reach the 61st floor through the teleport point on your current floor.]

Here it comes, it comes again!

Everyone's face was numb, and the same thought arose in their minds.

Why were they able to reach the 22nd floor?

Of course, it was because the floor boss was gone! Several days ago, the floor boss had already been killed by the first two names on this notice.

They will never forget that day. Starting from the moment the boss on the first floor was killed, similar announcements would be made every once in a while until now.

Except for the boss on the first floor, no one has ever seen the bosses on the subsequent floors.

If someone hadn't actually witnessed several players with identical IDs rushing into the BOSS room, and then an announcement sounded a moment later, they would have suspected that there was some major bug in the game.

However, it’s not a bug, it’s just that there are such outrageous guys.

"Why are they all playing games and working so hard, but I feel like I'm not playing the same game as them?" A player asked this question in frustration, which resonated with the players around him.

Yes, why?

We're all playing the same game, why is it that we're playing the Dark Souls series while you're playing Dynasty Warriors?

It would be fine if you spent money on the game, but the problem is that this game is still in closed beta and there is no pay-to-win content available.

So, is the gap between people really that big?

These players were truly jealous and envious. They had seen those guys fight, and it was truly like being invincible! When would they be able to experience that?

While expressing their feelings, many people also cursed inwardly:

What kind of thing did you design, you rubbish Kayaba? Can you design a game?

The sixty-first floor of Aincrad.

Having just passed the 60th floor, Zhao Wu and his group were now walking on the land of the 61st floor, curiously admiring the scenery of the 60th floor.

Speaking of which, perhaps the designers didn't think that any player would be able to reach the 50th level during the closed beta test, so starting from the 50th level, everyone would encounter some small bugs from time to time.

Of course, it is a closed beta after all, so we can't expect too much. These bugs are minor problems and harmless, and they have not affected everyone's interest in playing at all.

"It's the sixty-first floor. Do we need to continue to clear the next level?" Zhao Wu asked as he walked in front.

"For today, why don't we just stop here? It's getting late."

Behind Zhao Wu, Kuang San (the clone), who was wearing light armor, looked at the time on the virtual interface and said.

Her game ID is "Bai", taken from the name of the little white cat she brought back before.

"Hmm, Nanashi, I feel a little tired too..." Nanashi said while yawning.

"Is that so..." Zhao Wu heard this. She was actually a little bored of playing the game recently. The closed beta version lacked a lot of flavor after all. She planned to stop playing the game for the time being after logging off this time and wait until SAO is officially launched.

"Well... in that case... well? Erya, what's wrong with you?" As Zhao Wu spoke, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with Erya. She hadn't spoken just now.

Erya frowned, as if he didn't hear what she said, and his face looked vaguely uneasy.

"Eiya? Erya?"

"Snapped!"

"Niya!"

"ah!?"

The three of them moved closer to Erya. After Zhao Wu called out a few times, he suddenly patted her shoulder and shouted loudly.

Erya suddenly came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a dream. She screamed and looked at Zhao Wu with some shock and said, "Xiao Wu, what are you doing!?"

"What? I was just about to ask you what you were doing. What were you thinking about just now? I called you several times but you didn't respond." Zhao Wu said unhappily.

"this..."

Hearing this, Erya was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

"What happened to you just now? Why do you look so absent-minded?" Zhao Wu asked in some confusion.

There was no problem when I fought the boss before.

"I..."

Erya's face was filled with confusion when he heard this. "I don't know what happened. Just now, I suddenly felt very uncomfortable..."

"You don't feel well?" Kurumi looked at Erya, "Is there something wrong with your body?"

In her opinion, it might be because Erya played too many games, which led to some adverse reactions.

Erya shook her head. "No, I'm fine. I just feel..."

Erya said this, folding her arms. Zhao Wu was surprised to find that her body was actually trembling slightly!

Why is this happening? What is going on?

Erya looked at the three of them for a while, then closed his eyes and said slowly:

"I just feel like there's something extra in this world that makes me really disgusted and uncomfortable..."

"This feeling is just like an animal sensing the presence of its natural enemy..."

Chapter 358: Yui Miku's Strength

Laichan High School, somewhere in the corridor leading to the rooftop of the teaching building.

"Captain, believe me, everything I said is true!" Tobiichi Origami held the phone, and her words were calm but with a hint of urgency.

Just now, Origami Tobiichi told her team leader, Ryoko Kusakabe, about Yui Miku and expressed her thoughts.

She hopes that Kusakabe Ryoko can lead a team to deal with Yuiya Miku.

However, things are not that simple.

"Origami, putting that aside for now... is Yui Miku the singer...?"

"She is!"

She interrupted Kusakabe Ryoko without hesitation, and Tobiichi Origami frowned, feeling a little strange.

She had clearly sent the photo of Yuiya Miku to Kusakabe Ryoko. It would be easy to reveal Yuiya Miku's identity by just comparing it with the singer's appearance, but why did the other party still have such an idea?

From Kusakabe Ryoko's words, she could clearly feel the other party's distrust.

She didn't believe what she said, she didn't believe that Yuiya Miku was a singer.

But why is this happening? With such clear and direct evidence, why would anyone not believe it?

"...But you have to produce evidence. You say she is a singer. What is your basis?" Kusakabe Ryoko sighed.

As Origami Tobiichi's boss, Kusakabe Ryoko knows her team member very well. Because of her hatred for elves, every time Origami Tobiichi encounters an elf, she will rush forward and attack without hesitation.

In Kusakabe Ryoko's opinion, once Tobiichi Origami encounters something related to elves, she will lose her mind, become radical and arbitrary, and will not listen to anyone's advice.

Kusakabe Ryoko has always wanted to change Origami Tobiichi's habit, but it seems that the results are very limited.

"No, don't those photos I sent you prove her identity?"

Upon hearing this, Tobiichi Origami's voice couldn't help but rise a little, and the poker-like expression on her face also changed slightly.

"photo?"

Kusakabe Ryoko was stunned when she heard this. After a moment of silence, she said, "Then let me be frank. In my opinion, the photos you sent me are absolutely no way to prove that this popular idol is the singer."

"How is this possible?!" Tobiichi Origami couldn't believe it.

"No, that's the truth. There's absolutely no connection between the two in appearance," said Kusakabe Ryoko.

If the person who contacted her had not been Tobiichi Origami, and if she had not known Tobiichi Origami well, Kusakabe Ryoko would definitely have thought that the other party was taking her for a fool.

How could they be said to be the same person when they are clearly two completely different people?

Are you trying to make fun of me?

Even for Tobiichi Origami, Kusakabe Ryoko's patience with her on this matter was almost exhausted.

This kid must be possessed by a demon.

In Kusakabe Ryoko's opinion, Origami Tobiichi had probably become a little sensitive after meeting the singing girl several times before.

Even someone like her who doesn't follow any stars knows about the popular idol Yui Miku.

Although her profession may be similar to that of the singer, come on, the singer was only observed for the first time half a year ago. How many years has Yui Miku been in the industry?

Not only does the appearance not match, the time doesn't match either.

"Let's forget about this matter. Don't talk about it anymore. You should be done with school now. Come to the base for training as soon as possible."
