Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 11 Mr. Tong: You’re not really going to open it!

Kirito is not the only "cheater" in SAO.

In the past, everyone still had the mentality of playing games. Although resources were important, it didn’t mean they had to be snatched.

But the situation now is obviously different from before.

The current SAO is a real death game!
In a game where you can only die once, various game resources are the guarantee for you to survive better in this world.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that the limited resources in the Novice Village will be scrambled for by all players!
This is not a question of giving in or not, but in this dangerous game world, who doesn’t want to become stronger and survive to the end?

As a beta tester, Kirito naturally knew where the resources in the Novice Village were, so he immediately wanted to bring Seiya and Klein along.

However, Klein said that he entered the game with a good friend.

He was also very clear about his own strength. Working with Seiya and Kirito would only hinder them, so he took the initiative to withdraw.

In response, Seiya and Kirito chose to respect each other's decision and rushed to the nearest mission resource point as quickly as possible.

However, it turns out that Kirito is not the only smart person in this world.

When the two of them rushed to the nearest mission area as quickly as possible, the mission resources here had already been swept away by others.

Kirito, who saw this scene, couldn't help but sigh loudly.

This is the closest mission resource location to them. If they are late even here, there is no need to go to other places.

"Who said all the quests have been accepted? Isn't that philistine-looking man over there the quest NPC?"

After hearing what Seiya said, Kirito looked in the direction he pointed with a look of surprise at first, thinking that it was a task that those cheaters had missed.

However, when he saw clearly who Seiya was referring to, a disappointed expression suddenly appeared on his face and he said, "The person you are talking about is indeed a quest NPC.

But it’s not that those cheating players don’t want to take his mission, it’s that they simply can’t take it.”

Seeing Seiya's puzzled expression, Kirito could only continue to explain: "The name of this NPC is the mercenary businessman Messi, and he is troubled by something.

It was because his goods were intercepted by a group of "hungry wolves" on the grassland.

If you complete this quest, he will give the player a very rare one-handed sword weapon in the early stages - the Wind Flower Sword.

"Hungry wolves are monsters that live on the grasslands. They are much stronger than wild boars, and they live in groups.

The one who intercepted Messi's goods was the "Dire Wolf Leader", a monster at the level of a jungle boss.

Of course, although it is a jungle BOSS, I am very familiar with its mechanism. With the abilities of the two of us, it is not impossible to defeat it.

The only problem is that if you want to take this task from the mercenary businessman Messi, you need to pay a deposit of one gold kel."

After listening to what Kirito said, Seiya finally understood why he had said before that not everyone could take on this mission.

As mentioned before, the initial currency for SAO players is only one hundred copper kol.

The deposit for one gold kol is a full ten thousand copper kols, which makes it difficult for those players to find so much money in the first place.

During the beta test, if you failed to challenge the Hungry Wolf boss, your deposit would not be refunded. Now, players only have one chance to challenge, and if they fail, they will die.

Although it is a high-risk, high-reward game, the huge initial investment alone is enough to discourage most players.

Even during the internal test, this task of the mercenary businessman Messi was not accepted until the later stage.

Because at that time the players had already conquered the fifth floor and above, to deal with the wild area BOSS on the first floor, they naturally only needed to have hands.

"Let's just take this mission. We don't have any other choice now, right?"

Seeing Seiya walking towards the other party, Kirito could only follow helplessly.

Kirito guessed that Seiya was trying to bargain with the NPC, but he had already anticipated the outcome.

Because during the internal test, many people had the same idea, but unfortunately, they were all rejected by the other party in the end.

"Are you also adventurers planning to help me retrieve the goods from those damn hungry wolves?

But because my goods are quite valuable, I would be very worried if you took the goods back and ran away.

Therefore, you must first pay a deposit of Jin Keer, and there is no room for negotiation on this point."

Hearing what Messi said, Kirito showed an expression of "as expected".

Just when Kirito wanted Seiya not to waste time and instead of wasting time here with this NPC, it would be better to try his luck somewhere else, but Seiya took out a glittering gold coin in front of Kirito's stunned eyes.

"Mr. Messi, right? Don't worry, we know the rules. Unlike those poor fellows before, we are nobles who came from big towns to experience the life of adventurers.

We don't even take Jin Ke'er seriously, let alone your small cargo."

After Seiya threw a gold coin to the surprised merchant Messi in front of him, he took out a handful of gold coins as if by magic.

Looking at Seiya's hands full of gold coins, not to mention the mercenary businessman Messi, even Kirito beside him was dumbfounded at this moment.

The gold coins that Seiya caught were at least dozens, and Jin Keer's wealth of dozens of coins, let alone in a novice village on the first floor, even in the eighth floor during the internal test, was a staggering amount of money.

As a fully-stealth virtual game, even the NPCs' AI intelligence is quite high, and they don't just speak fixed lines.

As for the mercenary businessman Messi, after seeing the astonishing wealth displayed by Seiya, his originally dismissive expression suddenly changed.

"Two adventurers... oh no, two distinguished young masters, I was shortsighted and mistook you for those poor adventurers.

If you two are willing to help, then Messi, a trustworthy person, will naturally trust you. Forget about the deposit. I hope you can take care of my business more in the future. I will be very grateful."

The other party was called a mercenary businessman. After Seiya showed off his astonishing wealth, his attitude and tone were completely different from before.

In the end, Seiya and Kirito not only successfully took on the task, but even saved the so-called deposit.

After leaving the town, Kirito, who had long since been unable to suppress his curiosity, finally looked at Seiya with an expression of disbelief and said, "You guys are not really doing what Klein said and directly opening some cheating software!"
