I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

This is the world of ALO.

In the capital of the Wind Elves' territory, in a town called Siiluban, many Wind Elves were active in every corner of the town.

Some were going between shops, some were playing and chatting with friends, and some were flying into the sky, scattering in all directions. It looked very lively.

As a popular race among the nine races and the capital of the wind elf territory, Siiluban has an alias - [Emerald City].

031 This cheat is really not mine

The Emerald City, just as its name suggests, is lush green all over.

The whole town is composed of a group of tall and thin spires.

The towers are connected by complex aerial corridors.

Although the entire town has different shades of color, it all shines with the same emerald green light.

If there is a Wind Elf player who is betrayed by his girlfriend and backstabbed by his best friend, and then wants to go online to PK to vent his feelings, I wonder how he will feel when he logs in and sees this green town.

I think... you won't delete your account or quit the game, right?

Forget it, this idea is too vicious. I just hope all lovers in the world can eventually become siblings.

Green, leave it to the group management.

After all, if you want to bear its privileges, you must have the courage to bear its colors!

Hey, if the administrator of a group is cheated, will he kick all the group members out in a fit of anger?

Forget it, forget it, maybe lovers will eventually become siblings.

In this Emerald City, all the buildings appear to be floating in the night sky. If one word is used to describe it, it can only be described as fantasy, especially the Lord's Mansion located deep in the city, which is as magnificent as any building in Alpheim.

In such a town, in a small area, a slender figure appeared with a flash of light that was like the teleportation phenomenon in SAO.

She was an elf girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing the early equipment of a wind elf, had a pair of pointed ears and light green wings, and her hair was a bright golden color.

Seeing the appearance of this girl, the surrounding wind elves stopped and turned around.

"There's a newcomer here again."

"Is it a girl? Could it be one of those cross-dressing guys trying to disgust people again?!"

"Don't worry, this game is not like any other game. You won't have to kneel down when you open your mouth."

"But she's really pretty. If she were a girl, we'd have made a killing!"

"Yeah, I don't know if this appearance is randomly generated or a paid setting."

"If it was randomly generated, it would be a huge profit."

"That's right, that's right."

The players gathered together to discuss the matter. While they were amazed by the girl's beauty, they were also secretly worried about whether this girl was real.

After all, in other games, there are always some "beautiful girl" players who are so charming that they often become wary when facing newcomers, especially beautiful girl players, so as to avoid chatting up a male player who is deliberately trying to disgust them.

And the other side.

Listening to the discussions of the players around her, the girl slowly opened her eyes.

While feeling speechless at their vigilance, the girl's green eyes quickly glanced around.

"Is this ALO?"

Asuna murmured, stretching out her palm and carefully feeling the breeze.

This feeling, which is more real than the real world, could only be given in SAO before.

Moreover, this world is indeed a completely different fantasy style from SAO, but compared to SAO, it doesn't feel any worse.

"A game that can be compared to SAO is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Asuna smiled slightly, then waved her left hand from top to bottom.

"Ding~!"

With a pleasant bell-like sound effect, Asuna called out the main window of the game.

In this respect, ALO operates exactly the same as SAO.

However, the only difference is that the action command to call out the main window in SAO can only be completed with the right hand, while in ALO, it is completed with the left hand.

In addition, the design style of the main window of this game is exactly the same as that of SAO, with only some minor differences in details.

At the top of the main window, displayed is one's own name, [asuna], and one's current race, [wind elf].

Below is the HP slot, but the level and experience value columns are gone, and there is an MP slot to show the existence of magic.

The character's ability values ​​are also very simple. You won't see values ​​like [Strength] and [Agility] in SAO at all. Just as they advertised, this game focuses on the player's skills.

"This is……"

However, when Asuna opened the skill bar, the content presented in front of her made her startled at first, and then she was stunned.

"What happened to the new guy?"

"When you first come to ALO, you don't look around curiously, but immediately check the character status in the main window?"

"It seems this isn't the first time you've played the game."

"I always feel like this is another cross-dressing guy who is cheating on me!"

"That guy looks very experienced. Let's go. It's definitely not a girl."

"If you get cheated, don't cry later!"

"But what's wrong with her now? She looks so surprised?"

"Who knows."

The wind elves passing by seemed to be more convinced of Asuna's identity as a cross-dresser when they saw her, and they all dispersed.

However, Asuna no longer had the energy to complain about these people's thoughts.

At this moment, Asuna's eyes were fixed on the status of the skill bar displayed on her main window, confirming it over and over again.

There, in the skill acquisition column, which should have been completely empty when entering the game, now has nearly ten skills displayed in it.

"Dozens of skills at the beginning of the game?"

Apart from those single-player games that have been cracked, it is simply impossible to cheat in this large-scale VR game.

Regardless of which race it is, it is impossible for a person to have nearly ten skills in the early stages.

These are just the skills that are set in the acquired skills column, and there are also skills that have not been set.

Like ALO and SAO, only the skills set on the skill bar can be used and will improve proficiency. If the remaining skills are not set, their proficiency will not be improved.

If you count the skills that are not set on the skill bar, there are so many that Asuna herself is too lazy to count them after just a quick glance.

However, this is nothing.

If it was just the sheer number of skills, Asuna wouldn't be so surprised.

What really surprised her was...

"【Rapier】Skill proficiency: 1000."

"【Weapon Defense】Skill Proficiency: 1000."

"【Recovery during combat】Skill proficiency: 1000."

"【Cooking】Skill proficiency: 1000."

"【Tailoring】Skill proficiency: 1000"

"..."

Looking at these skills that were fully mastered, Asuna fell completely silent.

I never thought that there would come a day when I would cheat while playing games.

032 Mixed World

"Proficiency: 1000."

In other words, Asuna has already fully learned these skills.

Even if you continue to use and practice these skills in the future, your proficiency will not continue to improve.

In addition to these fully learned skills, Asuna's proficiency in the rest of her skills is also very high, almost all above 900!

And is it possible for such a good thing, as if someone deliberately gave her the protagonist cheats and let her dominate the whole server, to happen to a newly created character?

Absolutely impossible, right?

After all, if you do this, there will be no gaming experience at all.

You don't have to do anything and start the game with full skills. What's the point?

If you don't kill monsters, do PK, or improve your skill proficiency in the game, do you mean you want to retire here?

You know, even in SAO, Asuna needs to spend a lot of time to fully master a skill.

Previously, through information found on the Internet and the popularization of Kato Megumi, Suguha and others, Asuna knew that this situation was the same in ALO.

In ordinary games, any skill that requires frantically grinding for skill upgrade materials and experience points will take a very long time to fully learn.

Although ALO does not require materials for upgrading, its proficiency requirements are still very high. It is even mentioned that when a character is just created, all skills are maxed out.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be the kind of invincible plot that only appears in those oriental online novels.

In addition, what surprised Asuna even more was that the proficiency of these skills was almost exactly the same as the proficiency of various skills she had practiced in the SAO world for more than two years!

Both the name and the proficiency are exactly the same as the skills and proficiency of the character that Asuna once created in SAO!

Although some of them are missing, that's probably because these skills don't exist in ALO.

If ALO adds those skills in the future, they might appear in Asuna's skill column without her noticing, and just like in ASO, they will be fully learned or have a proficiency of 900+.

However, even though some skills are missing, the data of Asuna, a newly created game character, is almost completely consistent with the files of the characters created during the SAO period.

Well, at least in terms of skills.

but……

“If it was just a bug, then it would be understandable.

But the similarity of the character skills of two different games is so high, and I entered the account from the SAO period... This is basically telling others that there is definitely something wrong between the two games. "

Asuna touched her forehead helplessly.

When she created her character, she entered her SAO account just to give it a try, but she didn't expect that she could actually log in.

After logging in now, although my character is also a new account, its data is related to SAO no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, after the original company of SAO went bankrupt due to the outbreak of the SAO incident, the SAO server was handed over to his father's company for maintenance, and it also helped government officials monitor the player data in the game.

Not long after that, the game ALO was also developed by his father's people.

"I remember... the person in charge of this project was called... Nobuyuki Sugo?"

But wasn't he fired from the company by his father because of something? Later, he was even put in jail because of something.

Could it be that this guy plagiarized SAO from the very beginning, then changed the data in the game and copied it into ALO?

This is the only way to explain the current situation.

However, after Nobuyuki Sugo left, they actually continued to improve ALO based on the foundation he left behind, which could be considered as inadvertently helping Asuna out.

"However, since all skills can be inherited, what about other things?!"

Thinking of this, Asuna immediately began to check the character status other than the skill bar.

For example, the equipment bar and the prop bar.

As for the former, it does not have any similarities with SAO. The equipment on the panel and the equipment on the dolls are all the early equipment of the Wind Elves. There is no equipment related to SAO.

As for the latter, when Asuna clicked on it, what appeared before her eyes was a mess of mosaics and garbled characters.

But it is also these that occupy most of the empty space in Asuna's item bar.

"Could it be that these are the items I obtained during my time in SAO?"
