There are two sections in the main menu that appears under the effect sound of the bell.

On the left is a menu tab that you can click on, with options such as the Inventory Column, Skill Column, System Settings, and more, all of which you can browse and select by tapping your finger on them.

On the right is a humanoid silhouette that can show the status of your current item equipment, called an equipment puppet, click on the relevant part of the puppet, such as the hand, then you will see a weapon you can choose to equip or unload, of course, the premise of equipment is in the inventory.

At present, only the body part of Luo Zhen's equipment puppet has equipment, that is, this simple cloth on the body, the defense is not high, and there is no additional effect, but it is a free equipment at the beginning of the game.

As for weapons, you'll have to go to the weapon shop and buy them yourself.

At the beginning of the game, each character is given a currency called "Kell" as a starting capital, which is also known as in-game currency.

In Ayn Grandtree, this in-game currency is the currency of use and is used in a variety of places.

If you use the in-game currency as a starting capital to go to the weapon shop, you can buy the weapons you need, which you can use to fight monsters, earn experience points, level up, or collect monster drops.

Of course, Luo Zhen also has a starting capital now, and the amount of funds is the same as the rest of the players, and there will be no preferential treatment just because it is a closed beta player, this part of the SAO is very fair.

If you want to earn more money, you need to fight all kinds of monsters, run all kinds of quests, and if you are lucky, you can open treasure chests with rare items, or get them from defeated monsters and resell them, then it is a good opportunity to make a fortune.

By the way, in SAO, the only things that players can level up can increase are STR (tendons), AGI (agility), HP cap, and the grid used to use skills.

In addition, whenever the player levels up, the player can obtain a certain number of free attribute points, which can be used to increase the values of STR (tendon) and AGI (agility), and the distribution of points will determine the positioning of the player character.

For example, Kazuto standing in front of Luo Zhen, during the closed beta period, this guy was a speed type based on AGI (agility), so it should be the same this time, right?

On the contrary, it was Luo Zhen, and his positioning was a little blurred.

After all, it is estimated that no one in the entire SAO will use the same battle mode and positioning as Luo Zhen, right?

Without further ado, now Luo Zhen is ready to log in with Heren as friends, and then race against time to go to the place he wants.

"I hope it's still there..."

Luo Zhen thought so secretly in his heart, and at the same time prepared to apply for a friend's login from Kazuto.

The next second, in front of the people, a window flashed.

"The player - "Rozen" - asked you to log in as a friend, do you accept it?"

Below this window, the "Yea" and "No" options appear.

And people did not hesitate to press the "Yea" option.

Then, in front of Luo Zhen, a window also popped up.

"The player - "Kirito" - became your friend."

Looking at the name of the character displayed on this window, Luo Zhen was a little angry.

"You're still using the character's name, Kirito."

There's really nothing new about that.

You know, in the real world, the name of Kazuto is Kirigaya Kazuto, and the current character name is just an abbreviation of the real name, what can be new?

In this regard, he also refuted it.

"Didn't you use the same character name from the closed beta period? And I still don't know why you're using that name, Rozen. ”

That's because it's my real name, stupid, of course.

Luo Zhen, who had just complained about others using his real name and abbreviation, did not have the same uninspired consciousness as himself, checked the only name on the friend list, and then hid the main menu.

"Okay, I'm going to do that, if you want to go out to the practice area, call me again, and people."

Hearing this, he nodded without any objection.

"Then I'll go to the weapon shop first, and don't forget to bring what you want to bring, otherwise it will be a shame for the dignified beta player to be solved by a level 1 miscellaneous monster in the wild on the first day of the game, Qinghe."

Hearing this, Luo Zhen pursed his lips.

"In this world, trouble calls my character name."

Luo Zhen just corrected it like this.

"Then you should call me by my character name as well."

And people... No, Kirito said so too.

"Got it."

After casually leaving such words, Luo Zhen waved his hand, once again exerted a speed that would not be available in the real world, and rushed in another direction.

Looking at Luo Zhen who was gradually moving away, a little envious look appeared in Kirito's eyes.

"If only I could have 'that'."

It's a pity that Kirito hasn't tried, but he can't start the target with a very smooth operation like Luo Zhen.

"I'd better improve my sword skills."

Kirito shook his head, and then he also used his unconfused foot power to run in the direction of the weapon shop.

…………

Less than half an hour into the game, many players are still groping around the town and haven't run out into the wild.

Those who will run out of the wild at this time can only rush to the weapon shop non-stop, and have already purchased weapons and are ready to level up crazy Game Maniac during the closed beta period, right?

Of course, Luo Zhen can be regarded as a game maniac, but he didn't run into the wild for leveling.

"I hope that's still there..."

Luo Zhen just kept chattering like this while rushing out of the gate of the Origin Town.

After arriving at the Beginning Town, what appeared in front of me was a vast grassland spreading in all directions.

There are forests to the north, lakes to the south, walls of the Beginning to the east, and endless skies and golden-dyed clouds to the west.

Ayn Grant is a giant city formed by stacking 100 floors, and has a pyramid-like structure.

In other words, the higher you go, the smaller the floor becomes.

On the other hand, in the lowest level of the first floor of Ayn Grant, it is the most extensive.

According to the information, the first floor of Ayn Grant is ten kilometers in diameter.

And Luo Zhen's destination is the forest located in the north of the Origin Town.

If you want to go there, you have to cross several kilometers of grassland.

If it were in the real world, this would be a challenge for Luo Zhen that would be difficult to do without using demons.

But in this world, although the player character has hidden stamina, it depends on the player's strength.

If you move or exercise in a way that exceeds the current stamina load, your stamina will be reduced, making you feel "tired".

In other words, as long as he didn't run faster than the strength of his stamina, his stamina would not be reduced too much, and he could fully support Luo Zhen to reach the forest several kilometers away.

Until then, however...

"Woohoo!"

A strange cry came to Luo Zhen's ears, causing Luo Zhen to stop.

Then, Luo Zhen saw it.

Not far in front of him, a boar with blue fur and red eyes appeared.

The buoy shown is red.

The name is ———— "Manic Boar".

Needless to say, that's a monster.

Level 1 monsters.

Looking at the wild boar glaring at him, Luo Zhen hesitated for a while, and then decided.

"Just to see if the combat power enhancement method that worked during the closed beta period will work in this officially operating world."
