Chapter 301 Aincrad
Sunday, November 11, 6:12 p.m.
At 13: in a while, SAO - Sword Art Online will begin operations.
At this moment, Du Ming unexpectedly welcomed someone into his apartment.
Asuna.
Asuna came to his residence with a boxing mask in her hand - a full stealth machine.
"Can I borrow the sofa in the hall?" Asuna said with a chuckle, hugging the machine.
Putting the machine aside, she sat on the sofa.
“…That’s no problem, Asuna, are you going to play games here?” Du Ming asked.
Asuna had never told him before that she would come here.
"As long as we can get home before dinner, that's fine!" Asuna smiled slightly, "It seems Du Ming agreed?"
"I'm glad you're okay."
Du Ming shrugged his shoulders. He detected the abnormal reaction of the electrical signal after the machine was plugged into the power source and destroyed two pins inside the machine.
There is a component in the full-dive machine that detects when the mind leaves the machine. Du Ming destroys the transmission of the electrical signal. Even if the two of them cannot exit the SAO world, as long as they can forcibly remove the machine from the head, they can also exit the SAO world.
Du Ming has already prepared several ways to remove the machine.
"Okay, it's about time, let's get into the game."
"Ok!"
Du Ming watched Asuna put on the machine and lie on the sofa.
After thinking for a while, he picked up Asuna and gently moved her to the bed. He then lay on the sofa and put on the machine.
"beep----"
"Wel_to_Sword_Art_Online!"
When Du Ming opened his eyes again, he saw a city that seemed to be from another world.
A huge castle of rock and steel floating in the infinite sky. This is all that can be seen in this world.
Aincrad.
Its meaning is: the materialized world.
Du Ming was now standing on the starting street of the first level of Aincrad.
The first layer of Aincrad is composed of vast plains, rolling hills, and dense forests.
The sky is blue, the air is fresh, and the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.
The Street of Beginning is the main town on the first level of Aincrad. The environment is a bit like an alternate version of the European Middle Ages. The architectural style is simple and gives people a retro feel.
It has a center called the Central Square, as well as shopping streets, hotels, pubs, residential areas and other buildings.
There are a total of one hundred floors in Aincrad, and each floor has its own differences, large and small. Each floor is an independent world with unique terrain and ecological environment.
To enter the next level, you need to conquer the maze on each level and defeat the boss guarding that level.
The maze area hides powerful monsters and mechanisms. Generally speaking, it requires players to work together, formulate strategies, and challenge together.
Asuna's mission is to "conquer the first floor of Aincrad." In simple terms, you can pass the level automatically without doing anything.
It’s hard to imagine.
Du Ming raised his head and looked around.
In the central square of the Starting Street, blue and white lights kept flashing. These were the newcomers who kept logging into the game.
Many colorful players were coming and going in the central square, talking freely and laughing happily. I think they were very confident about the realism and scene of this game.
Du Ming raised his eyes again.
A transparent panel that shouldn't exist in the SAO game world appeared.
【Name】Du Ming
：Du Ming…
【Mission World】Game World
: Game world…
[World Quest] Explore the game world. Time requirement: None.
: Guide to the game world...
After closing the dimension door panel, Du Ming opened the SAO game panel.
Scroll directly down.
Open it at the bottom of the main menu.
“Sure enough, there is no…”
As expected, there is no option to log out of the game.
Afterwards, Du Ming was surprised to find something in his pocket.
"Hmm? Pebbles? Why were they brought in? Interesting."
The pebbles in his pocket were picked up after he defeated Liu Feng in the main world.
After being chased and escaping into the dimensional gate, he was brought into this world.
Before entering the game, he seemed to be placed on the table next to the sofa...
"Is there any mystery behind this stone?" Du Ming observed the pebbles thoughtfully.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now.
He didn't have the stone with him just now, but he followed him in. There must be a reason.
Just as he was about to use his Qi to sense something, Du Ming frowned again.
An unexpected reminder came from the other side of the dimensional gate.
【Di-】
[The game world has been successfully materialized. Please awaken and fully enjoy the real game world! ]
: The real game world...
【Di-】
[World Quest] After the change: Clear Aincrad Floor 10. Time requirement: None.
: World...Attack...Aincrad...
"changed!"
The game world became the real world, which was not what Du Ming had expected.
He had a strange look on his face. Could it be that Yuanmen was unhappy this time?
Du Ming's several attempts to travel through the world and the "world duplication" of the dimensional gate all ended in failure.
Is it angry after seeing yet another "copy failure" and is taking the game world as its target?
"The mission is to clear the 10th floor. I don't know if the difficulty is going up or down... Wait!"
Du Ming's eyes lit up.
“Can the items and skills obtained in the game be used directly in real life?
"What about the items? What about the equipment? Can they be brought into the real world?"
The sudden change made Du Ming have a lot of ideas all of a sudden.
Let’s not talk about the game world for now.
If this becomes the real world...
Can you learn all the teleportation technology, one-click dressing, skills, monster magic, etc. in the game?
How difficult is it to learn?
Is it learned in one go or slowly?
There are also various potions in the game, including HP and MP recovery, detoxification, purification and other status recovery potions, strength, speed and other ability temporary enhancement potions, and special potions such as invisibility, cold and heat resistance. Can you learn them easily?
What about the equipment?
All of a sudden, Du Ming's thoughts opened up...
"Du Ming?"
While Du Ming was still thinking, the pleasant voice that he had heard every day in the past few days came to his ears.
Looking up, Du Ming laughed.
"Haha, I was wondering if you, Asuna, hadn't changed your appearance. Sure enough..."
The girl in front of him was exactly the same as the one Du Ming saw in the real world. She had the same voice, the same look, and the same appearance.
Du Ming casually threw over a friend request.
"It's the same for Du Ming, right?" The girl opposite him visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing familiar people in the unfamiliar game world, she felt a little more relaxed and even smiled charmingly.
“…Agree to my friend request, Asuna!” After waiting for a while, Du Ming showed an expression that said, “As expected.”
His friend request was completely ignored by the girl who didn't understand the game.
"Friends?" The girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, I remember the game introduction post mentioned how to add and approve friends... I'll look for it."
The girl hurriedly opened the game menu and clumsily approved Du Ming's request in the friend list.
"Duel, Du...ah, isn't it, Du Ming named it 'Duel'?" The girl laughed.
"Look at your... um... Asuna, should I say there are no accidents." Du Ming smiled: "Hello, Asuna."
"Well, Mr. Duel, hello to you too."
Asuna gave a mischievous smile.
