Torbana.

This is the closest town to the labyrinth area on the 1st floor of Ayn Grant.

In this most expansive first layer, the southernmost point is the town of the Beginning, which is a kilometer in diameter, and then a dense forest to the northwest, and further northeast to the lake and marsh area, and then through these terrains, there are mountains, canyons, ruins, and monsters that inhabit these terrains.

These monsters are theoretically the highest-level monsters in the entire Tier 1 Wild practice area.

Because, if you go further, it will be the northernmost point of the first floor, towering into the sky like a tower, with a diameter of 300 meters and a height of 100 meters, leading to the staircase ———— maze area of the second floor.

For players who want to master the game, or even just want to improve themselves, the importance of the maze area is self-evident.

Not only is it a ladder to the upper level, but the monsters inside are also more advanced than the monsters in the field training area, and there are many treasure chests with rare items, which is definitely a treasure place for players.

The closest town to the labyrinth is Torbana, a valley city no more than 200 meters long.

After a month of chaos and strategy, there are now quite a few players in Torbana who are targeting the labyrinth area every day to increase their level and income.

Of course, the people who can come here and use this place as a base to continue to raid the labyrinth area are the top players today, and those low-level players have settled in the rest of the relatively safe towns and villages, and some have even stayed in the town of the beginning, and it is impossible to come to this place closest to the front.

Since this is the case, Luo Zhen naturally uses this place as a base.

“「Inner Area」。”

When Luo Zhen returned to the town with the rainbow butterfly and saw the huge windmill towers lined up in the town, the purple text immediately appeared in front of his vision.

This is proof that the player has entered the circle and is protected by the prohibitive crime directive.

However, the protection in the circle only protects the player from direct attacks, not indirect attacks.

For example, the sharp gaze and words of others.

"Hey, look at that guy..."

"There are rainbow-like butterflies on my shoulders..."

"He's the rumored closed beta player, right...?"

"How dare you appear on the street..."

One by one, the heavily armed players looked at Luo Zhen with a rainbow butterfly, and not only whispered, but also cast a hostile gaze at him.

This is the treatment that Luo Zhen has often suffered since the average player discovered the advantages of the closed beta player and also recognized Luo Zhen.

There are 10,000 players participating in the official operation of SAO, and even if about one-tenth of them are closed beta players, there are many people who are hostile to closed beta players among the remaining general players.

Some of them really suffered from the losses caused by the selfish actions of the closed beta players, some were just instigated, and some even just wanted to find an outlet for their fear, terror and panic in this death game, so they blamed the closed beta players, and were hostile to the closed beta players for various reasons, which led to such a big discrimination against the closed beta players in just one month.

And Luo Zhen, as the only one who has been identified as a closed beta tester, naturally bears the resentment of all ordinary players.

The players here are actually quite good, but they are just hostile and talking behind their backs, like those guys I just met but directly blocked Luo Zhen outside the circle, you can imagine how helpless Luo Zhen is in his current situation.

Obviously this is the situation, but Luo Zhen, who was wearing rainbow butterflies, yawned, ignored the reactions of everyone around him, and walked lazily on the street.

"What are you going to eat later?"

Luo Zhen was worried about such a thing.

As for the opinions of those players, Luo Zhen didn't care at all.

I think that at the beginning, when he was in Chaldea, Luo Zhen did not suffer much from the eyes of others, and when he was in the Red Feather family, he was also pointed at by the clansmen because of the growing gap with Akabane Tianquan.

Compared with those people, these players who can only do all kinds of things to Luo Zhen secretly in the game are really weak.

Luo Zhen didn't care about the disdain of these guys at all, and suddenly turned into an alley, which made a few players who were quietly following Luo Zhen suddenly stunned, and then hurriedly stepped forward, but he couldn't find Luo Zhen anymore, and stood in the alley and gritted his teeth.

Under such circumstances, Luo Zhen turned an alley at an alarming speed, came to a door that resembled a hidden place, pushed the door open, and walked in.

In front of him was a small, shabby bar.

"Hmph."

The NPC, who was the shopkeeper, stood in front of the counter, looked at Luo Zhen who walked in the door, and did not say hello, but snorted coldly, don't look over.

It is precisely because of the character of this NPC shopkeeper that is quite bad, and the location of this bar is very remote and quite dilapidated, and the players who will come here are only very withdrawn or have other hidden types, which is quite deserted.

And now, there's a guy here who doesn't usually see people.

"Yo, it's really hard for you, really."

Calling Luo with such a shameful nickname is really a petite player, so small that it makes people feel like there are no adult players.

The opponent is equipped with cloth and leather armor, weapons are small hooks hanging from the left waist and flying needles on the right waist, and he is also covered with a waist-length cloak, and the smiling face has a very conspicuous feature, drawing three lines on the cheeks that resemble animal whiskers.

This appearance, coupled with the other party's short golden brown curly hair, is always reminiscent of an animal———— "mouse".

In fact, the other party is indeed nicknamed "Mouse" by players who know about its existence.

And the player with the character name - "Argo" - that is, "Argo", is actually an intelligence dealer, such as places with high experience points, the location and trigger method of mission NPCs, and even the player's personal information, etc., this intelligence dealer will sell, and for this reason, he also adds all his ability points to agility, and also runs a side business such as communication, persuasion, and leading the way, although it is a little unseemly.

By the way, Argo is also a closed beta player.

Although I have never admitted it, but during the closed beta period, Luo Zhen met her, however, at that time, Luo Zhen and Argo were both using the appearance of the characters, and the real appearance of the two sides did not know each other, so when they met again in this world, neither side broke this point, but they just got along as always.

By the way, the other party is a female player who is rarer than rare monsters in online games.

She was the one who invited Luo Zhen here.

Luo Zhen immediately walked into the bar with the rainbow flower butterfly, and after sitting in front of Argo unceremoniously, he asked unceremoniously.

"So, what was the commission that led you to come to me this time?"

Luo Zhen just went straight to the point.
