After the Murder Guild "Smile Coffin" was defeated, the entire SAO once again ushered in a period of peace.

Luo Zhen also returned to the strategy group, and after that, he devoted himself to leadership and command, and once again devoted all his energy to the strategy.

And just as Luo Zhen expected at the beginning, even if the "Holy Dragon Alliance" was forcibly disbanded, resulting in a significant reduction in the combat power of the Raiders group, it was not yet to the point where it needed to replenish its combat power to clear the customs.

With the current combat strength of the strategy group, Luo Zhen still successfully broke through the 55th layer a few days later, and in the next short month, he successively broke through the 56th layer, 57th layer, 58th layer and 59th layer, so that the front line advanced to the 60th layer very smoothly, and then he once again postponed the progress of the strategy.

It's something that can't be helped.

In the Floating City called Ayngrunte, every 1 floor increases the difficulty by a small difficulty, every 10 floors increases by a medium difficulty, and every 25 floors increases by a major difficulty.

In this case, after reaching the 60th floor, the strategy group naturally ushered in an increase in the difficulty of the strategy, which led to the progress of the strategy naturally slowing down.

That being said, the current situation is relatively optimistic compared to the large difficulty increase every 25 floors.

At least, at the 25th and 50th floors, even if you go out of the town and head to the maze area, Luo Zhen needs to personally command, so that the strategy group will not be damaged.

Therefore, Luo Zhen only attended the strategy meeting of the boss in the practice area, and after explaining a few words, the rest of the strategy matters were handed over to the major guilds and players to solve by themselves.

As for Luo Zhen himself......

"What should I do?"

In a village on the 60th floor of the front line, on a boulder in the grassland outside the village, Luo Zhen sat there, his face full of groans.

"Goo!"

"Whew!"

Colorful butterflies and flower butterflies are frolicking in the grassland ahead, chasing each other for a while, hovering and flying in the air for a while, and having fun.

If it were usual, at this time, Luo Zhen would have already sneaked into the most efficient practice area to desperately absorb experience points.

Not to mention now, Luo Zhen's level has reached level 87, and the level of level 88 is approaching, and he is only a little bit close to leveling, and the level of color butterflies and flower butterflies is about to increase.

But today, Luo Zhen had to stop.

The reason is simple.

Take a closer look, at this moment, Luo Zhen is holding a sword in his hand and looking at it.

That was Luo Zhen's current main weapon.

It's just that......

"The enhancement has reached the limit, but the performance is already a little unable to keep up."

Luo Zhen was worried about this matter.

Now, players have left the town one by one and started their adventures in this world.

As a result, the number of players who specialize in combat has also begun to increase, as well as those who focus on production-based skills.

Up to now, there have been a lot of masters born in each class, resulting in various equipment and props made by players in the professional production department beginning to have performance and effects that exceed those sold by NPCs, and even the drops produced at the forefront are gradually lagging behind the goods made by players, making this world a home for players.

Of course, some boss-level monsters will occasionally drop drops that are more high-performance than the goods made by the highest-level production players.

For example, Kirito's "Interpreter" is one of them, and it is known as a magic sword-level drop.

Unfortunately, there are very few people who have this kind of luck.

Don't say anything else.,Just say Kirito.,His "explainer" is a magic sword that fell from the 50th layer of the defending boss.,And the defending boss is the only monster.,Once you're defeated, it won't gush out again.,Even the boss in the practice area is like this.,Only a very small number of regional mini-bosses will randomly gush out.,How can you have such good luck to burst out?

At least, Luo really didn't have this kind of luck.

Therefore, now that the advancement floor is getting higher and higher, and the monster strength is getting stronger and stronger, Luo Zhen's main weapon can't keep up with the requirements.

This is something that has not happened in the past.

Because Luo Zhen has been relying on the sharpness of the "Heart Eye" and the strength of the demon to drill into various monster groups, and often snatch the LA rewards of boss-level monsters, and even some hidden tasks have not been less excavated, all along, Luo Zhen has obtained all kinds of powerful weapons, so that all the way to the present, there has never been a situation where the weapon can't keep up with his own strength.

But that's no longer the case.

Now, the skill proficiency of production players has been improved, and there are many masters who have fully learned skills, so that the equipment on the top players in the strategy group has begun to look new, and gradually become a production that exceeds the drops and quests, and the strength has been greatly improved.

On the other hand, Luo Zhen, because the quality of the drops and quest items began to be inferior to the player's production, he who had been ahead of others in the quality of equipment in the past is now inferior to the rest of the players.

Although it is not yet to the extent of being reduced to the last place, if it continues like this, Luo Zhen will be caught up by the rest of the people sooner or later.

In light of this, Luo Zhen is now faced with a choice.

That is, like the rest of the players, you have to start by entrusting trusted production players to help you craft equipment.

And this naturally means that Luo Zhen needs to spend time on this, and he can no longer drill into the practice area by himself at every turn like before.

"What a hassle......

Luo Zhen sighed for this.

It's not just about weapons.

"Now that the weapons can't keep up, then the demons will not be able to keep up next, right?"

Luo Zhen looked at the colorful butterflies and flower butterflies playing on the grassland.

At the beginning, Heathcliff said that making demons have their limits, and Luo Zhen only developed their potential in advance, so that they could be effective against monsters at the level of the defending boss.

But as the floor gradually increases, the butterflies and flower butterflies gradually grow, and eventually, they will still usher in the set limit, so that their skills cannot take effect on the boss of the defending floor.

How long will that day come?

Luo Zhen didn't know.

Luo Zhen only knew that it was better for him to think of a way to take precautions.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

Luo Zhen lay down a little tired and looked at the sky in a large font.

Then......

"I didn't expect you to hide in such a place and be lazy."

As a rather cold voice approached, Luo Zhen's eyes lifted slightly.

However, Luo Zhen did not look at the comer.

Even if he didn't look at it, Luo Zhen knew who it was.

There is only one person who can speak to himself in this tone.

"What? Is our "Flash" Asuna-sama coming to teach me a lesson again? ”

Luo Zhen said such things impatiently.

The person who came here was none other than Asuna.
