Chapter 7

Klein, who was still holding his crotch, looked at the boar's body that gradually turned into fragments and disappeared, and his expression was quite dissatisfied as he looked at Shengzai: "Alright, Shengzai, I treat you as a close brother, but you are teaming up with Kirito to lie to me, right?

You are actually the same as Kirito, a beta tester, right!"

It's no wonder Klein would have such thoughts, because if Shengzai is a real novice, then what is he, Klein?

Everyone is a novice; he is still trying to use the sword techniques in the game, but Shengzai, this guy, is good—he can actually kill monsters of the same level with one strike.

Just the move that almost blinded his eyes just now—you call this a novice? Kirito isn't as good at showing off as you!

"Brother Klein, you really misunderstood; I am indeed a public beta player who is playing this game for the first time, just like you.

If you don't believe it, you can ask this guy."

Looking at Klein's expression of "you actually played me," Shengzai also spread his hands, pouting to signal the other party to look at Kirito at the side.

And although quite reluctant, Kirito-kun's integrity is obviously impeccable, and at this moment he also nodded unwillingly: "This guy is indeed playing SAO for the first time.

Because the beta test quota for this game is quite small; if he were also one of the beta testers, I couldn't possibly not know."

Seeing that Kirito's expression didn't look fake, and Klein also thought that two game big shots setting up a trap to deceive an ordinary office worker like him really had no meaning.

So, disbelieving, he soon excitedly pressed Shengzai's shoulder and said: "I get it, brother Shengzai, you must have used some cheating software, right?

Everyone is a brother; good things should be shared. Although this will reduce the game experience, letting me experience the thrill of killing monsters in seconds first and enhancing my confidence is also a good choice."

Obviously, Shengzai is not a beta tester like Kirito, but he can kill monsters in seconds, so Klein feels that Shengzai might have used some third-party illegal software.

Otherwise, it's really impossible to explain why everyone is a novice, but you are so awesome.

Hearing Klein's words, Shengzai also showed a speechless look, and just when he wanted to open his mouth to explain, a game nerd at the side, as if his faith had been questioned, directly shook his head and denied: "This is simply impossible.

SAO is the first game launched using NERvGear; as the most advanced machinery manufacturer at present, 'ARGUS,' let alone that kind of cheating software, even some bugs are impossible to appear in this game.

And this point has been completely confirmed in the previous beta test."

Any hardcore player of a game will try every means to drill into the game's loopholes and various gaps.

The beta testers who played SAO at the beginning were naturally the same.

However, it is a pity that even if they were this group of hardcore players in the country, they couldn't find any fatal loopholes in SAO; using cheating software or something is even more nonsense.

"Then why can Shengzai kill in seconds..."

"Shengzai can kill the frenzied boar in seconds, relying entirely on his own strength.

I also said before, besides the system's skills, SAO can also achieve linked sword techniques through one's own skills.

Shengzai, this guy, is the champion of the national kendo tournament in the real world; the skill he just used is the sword technique he knows in reality.

And because the position hit by his sword strike happened to be the frenzied boar's vital point, he achieved the effect of weak point multiple damage, so he could kill the monster with one strike under the condition of the same level attributes."

After hearing Kirito's explanation, the expression of relief on Klein's face was stiff again at this moment.

Looking at Shengzai's expression, it was even more unbelievable: "Shengzai, you guy is actually the champion of the national kendo tournament!"

"It's just a small achievement not worth mentioning; after all, it's only a middle school level tournament."

Hearing Shengzai's words, Klein and Kirito were speechless on the spot, especially Kirito, who knew Shengzai better, and directly stated: "But as far as I know, you defeated the second place with a crushing attitude at that time, right?

And the judges at the time also said that with your current kendo level, even in high school level... or even adult level tournaments, you could get a good ranking."

"And more importantly, the so-called kendo tournament divides age levels; the main reason is for fairness.

Because compared to half-grown children who are not yet mature and have poor physical fitness, the advantages of adults will be more obvious.

But in this SAO, such a gap does not exist, because besides the gap brought by level and equipment.

Whether it is an adult or a child, the initial data of their characters are equivalent.

In other words, as long as it is in SAO, even a nerd who has not exercised can defeat a muscular man who stays in the gym every day through skills."

Kirito said while talking about the difference between SAO and reality, while slowly pulling out the one-handed sword from his waist and looking at Shengzai seriously.

"Shengzai, let's have a PVP; I have already said the difference between SAO and reality just now.

In this world, our physical fitness is equivalent, and our current level and equipment are also almost in the initial state.

Although I have some experience from the game beta test, you also have the powerful kendo strength in the real world; this duel should be considered quite fair."

The so-called PVP refers to the battle mode between players; to put it in layman's terms, it is the so-called "PK"!

Originally, Kirito didn't want to fight Shengzai so soon; after all, he had always felt that Shengzai was still a novice.

But after watching the sword technique of Shengzai killing the frenzied boar in seconds just now, Kirito couldn't sit still.

Although he had long understood that for a game like "SAO" with swords as the mainstream, Shengzai could get started quickly, he didn't expect Shengzai's speed of getting started to be so fast!

With the level Shengzai just showed, Kirito was even worried that if he didn't take advantage of Shengzai not being completely used to it, and wait a few more days, he was afraid he would completely lose the chance for revenge.

No... judging from the progress of Shengzai, this animal, in ten days or half a month, the one being bullied might directly become him.

"So that's it, so the previous talk about SAO being able to help me train kendo, and good friends playing games together, was all nonsense.

Your real purpose is indeed to bully me, right, Kirito-kun!" Looking at the "Kirito-kun" who directly exposed his real purpose, Shengzai grinned.

"Then, kendo champion, will you accept my challenge?"
