DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

Shaka glanced at Kayaba Akihiko in the sky and said, "I'll give you a small gift."

after that.

The people in the square all returned to their real-life appearance.

At this moment, Xia Jia spoke calmly:

"Alright. Get ready. After the barrier is removed, all of you go to the four city gates and block them. Use your identities to detain anyone who tries to leave the city at the first opportunity!"

Immediately, his gaze fell upon the high platform.

"Next, it's my performance time."

Chapter 468: My Online Friends Are a Loli, a Mature Woman, and a Rough-Looking Man

On the high platform, Kayaba Akihiko's cloaked clone gave a final summary.

"This concludes the tutorial for SAO. Final advice: This is a game, not a joke. So, players, good luck!"

As Kayaba Akihiko finished speaking.

A shocking riot broke out in the square.

Some people laughed and cursed, some knelt down and wept, and some, looking at the burly man they had an online romance with, fell into a state of depression.

"Let me out! I have an appointment!"

Tell me this isn't true!

"Waaah, Mommy!"

Among the crowd was Tamaki Ako, a shut-in, kneeling on the ground in a duck-like position, her eyes vacant, feeling despair from the successive blows.

On the other side, Xiu Fan, the sword dancer who originally had golden hair, got into a dispute with Ya Puli, the rich, handsome, and wealthy man with purple hair.

The reason is that both of them are actually girls, but they are using male characters in the game.

Given the current crisis, they seem more concerned about the other party concealing their identity.

At the same time, beneath these blank, numb, and incredulous expressions, some people revealed a different kind of quality.

They stood there in silence for a long time, immediately recognizing the danger of the game.

One of them pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a red light. Standing beside him were a shield guard and a purple-haired loli, both of whom were looking at him.

"Hey, Chenghui, what do we do?"

The bespectacled boy looked up and glanced at his companion: "The safest strategy is, of course, to stay in town and wait for rescue."

"Of course, we could also choose to go to the next town as soon as possible and seize resources. But that would mean danger."

During the previous few hours of gameplay, although they had gotten used to the game's controls, the immense psychological pressure and unstable mindset caused their already unfamiliar controls to become distorted.

"I prefer the former. Although it might lead to a shortage of 'resources,' a larger number of people not only means lower monster-killing efficiency but also greater safety."

"We can use this time to adjust our mindset. Even if there is no official rescue operation afterward, we can still make steady progress."

"Completing this game will take more than a month or two, so we don't need to risk our lives for a little more time."

Cheng Hui's assessment is that it's best to wait and see for now and prioritize stability.

The purple-haired loli nodded innocently: "My lord is right! I'm not used to this body at all! My arms and legs are too short, which is a clear disadvantage."

Cheng Hui rolled her eyes: "This is your original body, isn't it? The cold-blooded killer look you weren't used to before was the one you weren't used to."

……

Similar conversations unfolded in various small groups, with most of the players who had participated in the closed beta choosing to leave the town.

Compared to regular players, they have "strategies" and are very familiar with certain quests and treasure chest locations. Their self-interest makes them prioritize gaining a survival advantage.

Asuna and her best friend Mito, in a corner of the park, shared the same idea.

After nearly a month of being baptized by monsters in the dungeon, she wasn't too afraid when she learned that the game had become real.

As the saying goes, skill breeds daring. With her unparalleled familiarity with swords, she was fully confident that she could surpass most players, not to mention...

"Oh! I never expected Mr. Mito to be like this!" Yuki's eyes sparkled.

A girl with the same long purple hair as Yuuki, but with a broad forehead, covered her face and said:

"What time is it, and this is what you're really concerned about?"

"Hehe, it's just that Miss Mitsu's contrast is really too great. Before, she looked just like Grand Marshal Gil. And..." Yuuki held the back of her head, revealing a bright smile:

"Don't worry, sister. Xiao Jia will definitely come to our rescue!"

Mitt said with a face full of resentment, "It's easy for you to talk when you're not in the game. Someone like you, who just entered the game and immediately created a 12-hit sword combo, of course wouldn't understand the suffering of us ordinary players."

Asuna also looked at Yuuki with a teasing expression:

"A 12-hit sword technique is a skill that can only be mastered after reaching level 40 and having a skill proficiency of over 500 points."

"Hehe!" Yuuki flashed a peace sign: "Hey, even if Kaga can't handle this, I'll protect you guys! For justice!"

In SAO, skills are unlocked gradually based on the proficiency level of the skill tree you possess.

Players start with two skill slots and can equip two skill trees. The number of slots increases as the player levels up.

Similar to the [Development Ability], when the proficiency in the skill tree reaches a certain value, the corresponding powerful skill can be unlocked. The proficiency cap is 1000 points.

Reaching the 500-point level would likely take about two and a half years of practicing single-handed sword skills in the starting village.

It's worth mentioning that the Starburst Abandoned Healing Slash is a 16-hit combo, which shows just how overpowered Yuuki's [Mother's Lament] is.

“In short…” Mite frowned and said, “Let’s get out of the city as soon as possible. Before long, the leveling spots outside will probably be overwhelmed by players.”

As a closed beta tester, Mitsu naturally knows many secrets. With her self-assured insight, coupled with the high-combat-power Asuna and Yuuki, she can conquer some relatively dangerous missions in the early stages and complete the initial capital accumulation.

The two, who didn't really know much about the "game," naturally took Mito as their guide. After nodding in agreement, they squeezed through the players who were still immersed in shock and panic and left the square.

The three of them had just reached the edge of the square.

A streak of blue light flashed across the sky once more.

A huge, azure light curtain enveloped the square.

The players, who had just experienced the devastating news, all stared blankly at the sky.

What they saw was a young girl holding a phone between her shoulder and shoulder, her hands clicking away as if she were doing something else entirely.

Strangely, the little girl was wearing a flower wreath on her head, and as she moved her fingers, the flowers seemed to come alive even more.

"Okay, okay!"

As the little girl was muttering to herself, another red-haired figure leaned in on the screen. She glanced at the screen with her wine-red eyes and said calmly:

"Preparation complete, firewall breach successful, information interference complete... but why wasn't the access privileges seized?"

Chu Chun tilted her head and frowned, saying:

"There seems to be a really strong guy over there. He broke through easily at first, but for some reason, as my attacks increased, his defenses also gradually strengthened. It's like he stole my techniques right there..."

"Ugh, my head hurts! Chris, I need some sugar!"

Makise Kurisu pushed away the coquettish Hatsuharu and scolded, "We're doing serious business."

In early spring, it was Natsuka who specifically asked Makise Kurisu to find the support. Originally, the "SAO kidnapping case" was just a criminal case, so the support from the Special Division was not needed.

However, following Makise Kurisu's suggestion, they ultimately mobilized this computer "god." Haru's role was also quite evident: she tampered with past data from the game, blocked all surveillance networks near the hospital, detected all players' social networks, and investigated the brewery's mole.

Among these players, at least several hundred are members of the so-called "Smiling Coffin," clearly placed there by the brewery.

Needless to say, it's only 10,000 people. In a normal game with millions of users, it's understandable for one psychopath to appear, but it's not normal for 10,000 murderers to appear.

joke.

Xiaolan wasn't even in the game, so where did all these strange Conan-esque characters come from?

If all those perverts get into the game, won't Conan have to take a break?

"Cough cough."

While the player was completely bewildered, Inspector Megure appeared in the frame.

He first leaned closer to the screen to look at the group of bewildered young players on the screen, cleared his throat, and then said loudly:

"I am Inspector Juzo Megure, Inspector of the Third Violent Crimes Investigation Division, First Investigative Division, Metropolitan Police Department."

"Now, let me report on the current situation of the 'Kayaba Akihiko' kidnapping case. First, we have made some progress, so please rest assured. We have dispatched 10 experienced special police officers to conduct the rescue. Please obey our orders and wait patiently for the imperial rescue."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in even greater commotion.

"It's the Metropolitan Police Department!"

"The imperial court has come to our rescue!"

"Thank goodness, I knew everything would be alright!"

"Wow!"

"Great, great! We're saved!"
