Two thousand people died in one month of the game.

In the end, there is still no way to solve the problem from the outside. What's worse is that there is no message coming in from the outside.

When I finally believed that there was no way to leave this world, the players' panic was extremely crazy. At that time, some people yelled, some people cried, and even some people were yelling to destroy the game world, and were preparing to dig up the stone slabs in the street. Of course, the buildings were all objects that could not be destroyed, and their attempts were just in vain. I also heard that all people accepted this reality and began to think about future policies. It was already several days later.

The players were probably divided into four groups at the beginning.

First of all, about half of the people accounted for, and people who did not believe the rescue conditions proposed by Kayaba Akihiko and were waiting for external rescue.

The actions they took were basically "standby". They did not leave the street at all, and only relied on the currency in the game that they were allocated in the early stages - the world was expressed in "Coll" - only a little money was used every day to buy food, live in cheap hotels, and then a few people formed a team to live in a daze.

Fortunately, the "Start Town" accounts for about two-tenths of the base area and claims to be comparable to a community in Tokyo, so there is indeed a space that can accommodate 5,000 players without appearing crowded.

However, no matter how long I waited, the rescue still did not appear. Every day when I woke up from my sleep, what I saw outside the window was never the blue sky, but a gloom covering the upper bottom of the head. And relying solely on early funds could not last forever. Soon after, they were forced to start taking action.

The second group accounts for about 30% of all players. This group with about 3,000 people is a group that aims to actively survive with mutual help. Their leader is the male manager of the largest online game intelligence website in Japan.

The players were divided into several groups under his command, jointly managing the obtained props and collecting intelligence, and then heading to the maze area leading to the upper stairs. The leader's own group occupied the "Black Iron Palace" facing the starting town central square, to hoard materials and give various instructions to his subordinate groups.

The huge group had no name at first, but after they started to ration all participants for uniforms, they didn't know who started to call them by the sarcastic name of "army".

The third group assumed that there were about a thousand people. This was the group who wasted Cole without planning at the beginning, but could not be motivated to fight monsters to obtain supplies, and thus life was in trouble.

By the way, even within the imaginary world SAO, there are still two physiological needs: sleep and appetite.

Because the brain cannot tell whether the sensory information obtained comes from the real world or the imaginary world, it is natural for players to want to sleep. When players want to sleep, they go to the hotel on the street, choose the right room according to their financial resources and go in and rest. If you have a lot of Kal, of course, you can also buy your own dedicated room in your favorite town, but that is not a simple amount that can be saved.

As for appetite, many players feel incredible. Although they really don’t want to imagine what their physical condition is in the real world, they should use some means to force the nutrition needed by the body. In short, even if they eat here because they feel hungry, food cannot appear in the stomach in the real world.

However, in fact, after eating foods such as imaginary bread or meat in the game, the feeling of empty stomach will indeed disappear and feel full. However, no one can explain the principles of these phenomena.

On the other hand, as long as the feeling of empty stomach appears and without eating, the feeling of hunger will never disappear. Although it will not die of hunger strike, this is still a very unbearable desire. Therefore, players still rush into restaurants run by NPC every day and try hard to stuff virtual food into their stomachs. Although it is a bit redundant, it is still mentioned that there is no need for excretion in the game. As for the excretion problem in the real world, it is more unwilling to imagine than eating.

OK, let's get back to the topic-

Those who spend all their money at the beginning will not mention the place to sleep. Since they have no choice but to eat, most of them choose to participate in the joint strategy group "army" mentioned earlier, because as long as they follow the instructions of their superiors, they can get the rationed food.

But no matter which world there are people who lack the spirit of mutual assistance, they have never considered joining a group or being exiled to make mistakes, so they use the slums in the starting town as bases and start to engage in robbers.

In a town, which is called "inside the security circle", the system will automatically protect the players, so the players cannot have any mutual harm. However, there is no such restriction outside the town. These fallen people gather together to form gangs and hide in areas outside the town or in maze areas, and attack prey that is more oily and less dangerous than monsters, that is, other players.

Even if they are robbery, they will not "kill" - the number of people in this group has increased little by little. As mentioned just now, the number of people is speculated to be about 1,000.

Finally, there is the fourth group, which is simply the remaining people.

There are about fifty small groups of players who aim to make strategies but do not belong to huge groups, with a number of about five hundred people. These groups are called "guilds". They make good use of the power that the army does not have to carry out actual strategies and combat power enhancement actions.

In addition, there are very few people who choose jobs and businessmen. Although they only have about two or three hundred people, they also form their own guilds to practice skills in order to earn the Ker needed for life.

Less than a hundred people left are the group I belong to - a group known as "lone player".

This is an egoist group that believes that it does not belong to any group and is strengthened by one person alone, which is the most effective means of survival. These people are almost all participants in the closed test. They use their knowledge to sprint with all their strength from the beginning of the game, and improve their level in a short period of time, and after gaining the power to fight against monsters and thieves independently.

The game called SAO has no "magic", that is, "super-range attack", so a single person can easily deal with plural monsters. As long as you have skillful skills, the efficiency of a solo player obtaining experience points is much better than that of a team player.

Of course, lone players also have their own risks. For example, if you form a team, you can ask your teammates to help replenish your blood, and if you are the only one, you may face death directly if you are attacked by "paralyzing". In fact, in the early stage of the game, the mortality rate of lone players is the highest among all player categories.

The lone players who have exclusive valuable knowledge and have increased their level at a fierce speed have had serious disputes with other players. Therefore, after the situation in the game is relatively stable, each lone player leaves the first level and uses the higher-level town as their base.

The place in the Black Iron Palace was originally the "Renivorceiver Room" and a huge metal monument was set up that was not available during the closed test. The surface was engraved with the names of all 10,000 players. It was actually very considerately drawn on the names of the dead players, and the time and cause of death were recorded in detail next to it.

The first person who was marked on the Elimination Line honor appeared three hours after the game began.

The cause of death is not fighting monsters, but suicide.

The man proposed that, in terms of the structure of GAME, as long as the connection with the game system can be cut off, he should automatically restore consciousness. So he jumped over the high fence at the southern end of the starting town, which is located at the outermost observatory of Iron Grandet, and jumped down.

No matter how wide you look, you can't see the land below the floating castle Ain Grant. All you can see is the endless sky and the layers of white clouds connected. Many people watching the fun poked their bodies out of the observatory to watch, the figure of the man gradually became smaller with the long tail wailing sound in his mouth, and finally disappeared between the clouds.

Two minutes later, the man's name was drawn concisely and mercilessly. The cause of death reads "Falling from a high place."

The battle in SAO does require some feeling and proficiency. You don’t move casually, but relying on system assistance can be said to be the trick of fighting, that is, skills are derived from the heart, so that you can use good skills, otherwise it is useless to just click on skills with consciousness.

Suicide, defeated by fighting monsters. The name that was cruelly drawn on the horizontal line increased at a very amazing speed.

When the number of deaths reached the frightening number of two thousand people a month after the game started, all the remaining players were shrouded in a dark sense of despair. If the number of deaths increased at this rate, in less than half a year, all 10,000 players would die. It is a dream to break through one hundred levels.

But - humans can be said to be habitual animals.

Everyone gradually understood the principles of survival in SAO and began to tend to guide the underground palace.

------

As the morning light came, the new day began. Mo Huai got up from the bed and came to SAO for a month. In addition to brushing the dungeons with Asuna, Mo Huai was cooking at home. To be honest, Mo Huai's current ingredient proficiency has reached the advanced level, which made Mo Huai speechless, but after the upgrade, Mo Huai's attributes were greatly improved.

Turning around and looking at another girl sleeping soundly on the bed, Mo Huai smiled. After so many times, Asuna's strength has grown rapidly.

ID: Asuna

Fatigue value: 100%, debuff: energy charging times.

However, Mo Huai smiled for a while and turned into a bitter face, because Alice had already lie on her shoulders, kneading the soft flesh on Mo Huai's waist with a jealous look, making Mo Huai in pain.

"Brother Stinky! Do you care about Alice?" Alice muttered with a jealous look on her face, her big red eyes glowing red, which obviously means "If you don't give me an explanation, you will be dead!"

Mo Huai looked helpless and picked up the freshly prepared noodles in his hand and handed them to Alice: "Be good at Alice, go for dinner first, remember, don't let Asuna discover it."

Food is the most important thing for the people, which is true. In addition to the continuous improvement of Mo Huai's craftsmanship, Alice quickly joined the black shadow and tasted the delicious braised noodles.

After cooking, she put the meal on the dining table, left a note, put on a black windbreaker and walked out of the room, but saw Asuna's clumsy sleeping position, and clearly covered her with a quilt and walked out of the room. Today is the day for the last boss on the first floor, and Mo Huai naturally wanted to prepare some teleportation blue crystals for Asuna. After all, Asuna's safety is the most important thing.

Bang!

As the door closed, Yasna woke up. In the lower right corner of the field of view, an envelope was constantly lit up. It was an email from Diaber, reminding her to attend the BOSS strategy meeting held at the stage of Torbana Square at 4 pm. The sending time was last night at 9 pm.

But Asuna didn't look closely, but looked at the door thoughtfully and spat lightly, "Big Wood!"

After a month of running-in, Asuna found that she began to like Mo Huai more and more. She didn't know how she developed feelings for Mo Huai. Maybe she liked the speech of others, or so she liked his superb skills, or maybe she liked Mo Huai's meticulous care for her. Yasuna thought it was a bit ridiculous. She actually fell in love with her own devil...
