"Hoo ————!"

The sound of the wind whistling swept past my ears and over my skin, bringing a slight feeling of refreshment.

Feeling the refreshing wind, Luo Zhen was keenly aware of the slight disobedience in it.

That's a natural thing to do.

Now, the gust of wind that swept through his ears and skin didn't actually exist, but it was just a matter of transmitting the freshness and comfort of the wind directly into his brain through "NERvGear", which was a bit of a dissonance, and that was a natural thing.

However, these Xu disobediences happened to tell Luo Zhen.

———— "Sword Art Online".

Abbreviation———— "SAO".

"I'm back!"

Luo Zhen opened his eyes.

What came into view was a magnificent chalk town.

At this time, Luo Zhen was on a vast square in the middle of this chalky town.

It is paved with a large stone floor, surrounded by street trees, and the streets are full of medieval flavor, and in the distance, there is a huge palace that glows black.

Luo Zhen, who had participated in the closed beta, naturally knew that it was a palace called the "Black Iron Palace".

In this world, once a player dies, then he or she will be resurrected in that palace and get a chance to challenge this world again.

And this square where Luo Zhen is located is the place where the game begins———— "Beginning Town".

That's when ...

"Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

With bursts of flashes of light, in the central square of the starting town where Luo Zhen was located, figures appeared one after another.

These are naturally players who appear with flashes, all of them are bright-eyed, and they are all wearing all kinds of equipment, even their hair colors are completely different, the only thing in common is that they all don't look like all the people in reality, all the men are men, all the women are beautiful women, and none of them look more than 90 points.

This is naturally because these avatars are not the appearance of the player himself, but the appearance of the character obtained through the setting.

Even Luo Zhen is the same, some of his half-breed appearances have become the kind of wise military advisors often seen in fantasy games, and he is no longer wearing ordinary civilian clothes, but cloth clothes that are convenient for movement.

Luo Zhen ushered in the cheers of all the players present under such circumstances.

"Is this the world of SAO?"

"So this is the first floor of the Floating City mentioned in the advertisement, "Ayn Grant?"

"Oh no, I'm so impressed!"

One by one, the players let out cheers and excited voices, making the entire central square extremely noisy.

Of course, there are also players who suppress their excitement and emotion and spread out in all directions of the town.

Among those players, there must be those who, like Luo Zhen, won the original quota of 1,000 people, knew what to do next, and rushed to the weapon shop, armor shop, prop store, and even grocery store to buy the items needed for the adventure in order to quickly upgrade the level, and rushed to various locations in their memories non-stop, or to pick up rewarding tasks, or to find hidden treasure chests hidden in the shadows, right?

To be honest, Luo Zhen also wanted to go to where he wanted to go quickly.

However, before that, you still have to meet with the people first.

Thereupon...

"Bang!"

Under a strong and powerful sound of stepping on the ground, Luo Zhen's figure rushed out.

That's a running speed that's completely unbelievable in reality.

Because the magic circuit is too good and the vitality of the transformation is too large, resulting in a weak physique, Luo Zhen has never dared to run so casually in the real world.

Even if there is a skill of "rigid body", which can improve physical ability, in reality, Luo Zhen can't run faster than at this time, right?

"That's how good it is to have virtual bodies!"

Luo Zhen was enjoying the rush that reality did not have, and hummed happily.

The current body is just an imaginary virtual body composed of the game's character settings, not a real body, so Luo Zhen can run through the streets of the Origin Town without any scruples, which is also one of the reasons why this world can make Luo Zhen fascinated.

It was under this rush that Luo Zhen entered the streets of the Origin Town.

Surrounded by shops and buildings, there are sometimes shouts of shopkeepers, sometimes there are children's playing, and even the sound of striking iron, slashing and colliding, rendering the entire town of Origin like an adventurer's town, very RPG atmosphere.

At the same time, people dressed in medieval costumes and equipment were also laughing and laughing, and at the same time passing by Luo Zhen, which seemed quite lively.

It's just that whether it's the shopkeeper of the store, the children in the building, or the pedestrians who pass by Luo Zhen, they are all just NPC characters in this world.

They seem to be very realistic, but in fact their action and conversation patterns are fixed, and unless they trigger a task or find a question that they are set to answer, they will always respond with a response such as "I can't answer this question", and they will not change their actions and behaviors.

Luo Zhen ignored the shouts of the surrounding shops and the laughter of pedestrians, and rushed into an alley like a gust of wind.

Then, Luo Zhen stopped.

Because, here, there is already a person waiting.

"It's coming too slowly."

Saying such a sentence was a young man dressed in a simple cloth suit similar to Luo Zhen, but equipped with a leather outfit.

The young man is different from Luo Zhen's character who has the feeling of a wise man, the appearance is like a brave Congo, the scene of crossing his hands against the wall is inexplicably handsome, and the side face that shows the expression outlined by the corners of Luo Zhen's mouth is also so cool.

In the face of such a handsome brave man...

"And people, what kind of handsome are you playing?"

Luo Zhen ruthlessly exposed the other party's tricks.

"Ahem...!"

And the person immediately stumbled.

The brave figure in front of him is none other than Kazuto Kiritani.

Luo Zhen stared at the other party.

In front of him is a green buoy hovering over the head of a Kazuto character.

This is a colored buoy that is used to show what the subject is present.

Green is the player buoy, yellow is the NPC buoy, red is the monster buoy, and orange is the buoy of the character who has violated a criminal command, such as the character who initiated the PK.

Now, the waren buoy that appeared in front of Luo Zhen's eyes was naturally green representing innocent players, and there was a long bar next to it that was also green.

That's the subject's HP slot.

A buoy that displays the status of the character's individual character and an HP slot.

This is the general state that the player will be able to see.

If you want to see more information about the object, such as name, level, location, etc., you can only log in with each other as friends, or form the same squad.

That's why Luo Zhen came to join the people.

"Okay, hurry up and log in to your friends first, and then we'll go our separate ways, and then contact when we want to level up in the practice area or maze area."

Luo Zhen said this quickly, then took a step back, stretched out the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, raised them straight together, and then waved them down.

This is the action of calling out the main menu.

With such an action, a bell-like effect sound, a window glowing purple appeared.
