Long live money

"Hitting is kissing and scolding is love! Didn't Asuna apologize to me afterwards? If there was no outsider like you, maybe Asuna, who is full of shame, would give me a sweet hug directly?"

"Hey, if you have time to talk, why not think about what to do today. With the cost of you and Asuna, your Cole won't last long, right?"

Mo Mo squeezed his chin and said, "That's true. But it's the early stage of the game, and it's impossible to have any good income channels."

"As a game, what Kirito said is right, the resources in the game are limited. Take Cole as an example, all Cole is actually obtained by the players, whether it is doing tasks or fighting monsters to sell Resources, Cole has accumulated and grown little by little. Even if I have a box of artifacts, at most one hundred Cole."

"Hmph, you still understand well, come on, let me see what you, a so-called businessman, should do!"

"Hmph, let's take a look at it. As the best businessman, I am extremely talented!"

"What can you do?"

"Hang up!"

Mo Mo was confident, while Reimu Boli was silent, covered his face and said, "I knew it!"

Mo Mo laughed loudly, and under the eyes of countless huddled players looking crazy, he came to an NPC selling fruit and said, "Hi, dear lady, how about I buy you an apple for 20 kohl?"

"Are you stupid? Even if you buy it directly, it's only 1 cole an apple, but you still need to use the trading power!"

There's no reason for Hakurei Reimu not to be shocked, because Mo Mo bought an apple from an NPC at twenty times the price, and even used his trading power!

"Do you dislike the use of trading power too many times, or do you think that your Kordo is too much to use!"

Bo Liling dreamed to stop Mo Mo, but Mo Mo shook his finger and said, "Little Lingmeng, just tell me the transaction result."

"Needless to say, even a fool would definitely agree to the deal, and the result must be...Huh?"

Hakurei Reimu looked at the result of the transaction and was stunned. The result of the transaction was not the successful transaction she had imagined.

"If I'm not wrong, the transaction neither succeeded nor failed, right?"

Boli Lingmeng looked at Mo Mo in shock, and said, "How do you know? The information returned by the transaction power is... Please choose the transaction partner, but isn't the transaction partner standing right in front of you?"

The NPC sister who sold the fruit had a formulaic smile on her face and asked, "Do you want to buy apples? I just picked the apples today!"

"So that's why it doesn't allow NPCs to be traded. Originally, I thought that the trade would violate the principle of voluntariness among the three principles."

Hakurei Reimu felt that her head couldn't keep up, and said, "What's going on!"

"It's very simple! The trading partner must be able to recognize the price of the trading item rationally and emotionally, and complete the transaction with me through rational judgment. This is the principle of voluntariness and fairness, but there is a prerequisite for these two principles, that is, the transaction Subject possesses intellect as well as emotion."

"Originally, I thought that the NPC only had data logic judgments, which could achieve a kind of virtual rationality. It was likely that they could only judge whether the transaction complied with the system rules, but not be able to price and approve it independently. This would only lead to the failure of the transaction."

"However, it seems that the transaction authority does not recognize the NPC in front of him as a transaction object at all. Maybe she is really just a bunch of data."

The female NPC selling apples tilted her head, showing a humanized look of doubt. She didn't seem to understand why the two people in front of her were talking non-stop incomprehensible words.

Seeing such a performance, many people may think that these NPCs have AI, but the trading power does not recognize her, and does not think that this is an intelligent life form.

"I probably understand, anyway, these NPCs are not human, right? Then you will be in trouble, Momo, your trading power is completely useless in the game! It's not right, at least the players don't have any items worth trading right now. , won't your trading rights be temporarily useless?"

Mo Mo shook his finger again, and said, "Kayaba Akihiko said that this is not an ordinary game. Combined with the individual Yui that will appear in the future, and the future development of the whole world, the NPCs in SAO now only have ordinary AI. , but this AI will grow."

"When the AI ​​is complex enough to handle all situations and completely simulate a person's character and temperament, is she still a human or an NPC at that time?"

"That's something for the future, you should think about it now."

"That's right, but Xiao Lingmeng, the point is whether there are any special cases, special cases! The NPC in front of me is just a passerby, so it is impossible for there to be any special circumstances. But since Yui exists, is there any special case? What about NPCs with a high degree of AI?"

Hakurei Reimu blinked, suddenly realized, and said, "You mean, there are still NPCs like Yui, this..."

Boli Lingmeng originally wanted to say how it was possible, but after thinking about it carefully, it was very possible!

The existence of Yui shows that Akihiko Kayaba has put a lot of effort into artificial AI, but the result may not be successful, so he will continue to collect experience and improve AI during the SAO public beta.

So, did Akihiko Kayaba only make one Yui?Obviously, as an experiment, there should be many such NPCs!

"Okay, the explanation is over, then our work will be very simple!"

Mo Mo raised his head, walked away from the NPC stall selling apples with big strides, came to the next stall, and said to the young and beautiful NPC lady: "Hey, this beautiful and kind NPC sister, do you want to be with me?" How about a very good deal, I offer 20 cole, how about you sell me a carrot?"

Hakurei Reimu grinned, and suddenly understood what Mo Mo was going to do.

This is the rhythm of him wanting to strike up a conversation with the entire Beginning Street!

029 Dark Elf Blacksmith Forging Technique

Aincrad, the first floor, Tolbana, the Street of Beginnings.

The next day was also the first day when the players officially started the death game, but since it was still in the morning, everyone hadn't spent 24 hours in the game.

However, this time is enough to make people despair.

No one logs out of the game.

SAO developer Akihiko Kayaba announced that it is a death game, and anyone who dies in the game will die in real life.Although most people don't believe in this ridiculous setting, no one dares to take the risk.

The names of those who dared to take risks have already appeared on the black iron tablet, and their names were also thoughtfully drawn horizontally. The cause of death was falling from a height.

With such an adventurer, no one dared to do the same thing as him, but chose to wait.

Waiting seems to be the best way for now.

As long as you think about it, you can imagine that there must be chaos in reality. Tens of thousands of players have logged into the game and cannot log out. Although it has not been 24 hours, this can already be regarded as a shocking case of kidnapping tens of thousands of people.

I believe that in reality the commotion has become known to the whole world, and the entire Japanese government must be in a state of distress. All experts and scholars must have gathered to try to crack the NERvGear that everyone wears on top of their heads.

From this point of view, it must only be a matter of time before everyone is rescued!

Everyone subconsciously ignored Akihiko Kayaba's talent, thinking that no matter how talented Akihiko Kayaba was, he was only one person, and forgot that Akihiko Kayaba was driving the progress of the times with only one person.

It can even be said that this era dragged down his ingenuity, so that he had to use such an extreme method to open the door to the second world, the virtual world, for mankind.

Under such thoughts, almost everyone is waiting, quite a few people live in the hotel, but more people just huddled in the corner, three or five people gathered together, or curled up alone in the sun, shivering .

There are only a handful of people who can muster up the courage to walk out of the street of beginning, confront monsters, and risk their lives to fight monsters and upgrade.

However, in such an atmosphere, a freak-like character appeared.

Everyone actually knows this person. At the beginning of the commotion, he strangely calmed everyone down with the phrase "Do you know me?" so that the players would not be confused.

Afterwards, a relative meeting was held, and many people found acquaintances, even if they did not have acquaintances, many of them formed teams for various reasons, such as the same age, close family, pleasing to the eye, homosexuality, etc.

At least the vast majority of people in front of them have a partner by their side, and it is better to be accompanied by someone than to be alone.

Therefore, everyone also remembers Mo Mo, who is handsome and stable for everyone. Many people are thinking that this kind of guy may also be a big shot in reality.

It's a pity that what Mo Mo has done now has surprised everyone, and many people even speculate that Mo Mo has gone crazy!

Momo, strike up a conversation!

Talking to NPC!

Well, if the NPC sisters of various stalls and hawkers are still sweet and pleasant, what's the matter if you strike up a conversation with the ball-shaped aunt in the bakery, your taste is too strong!

Well, it's okay to strike up a conversation with the aunt, after all, she is still a woman.What's the matter with you accosting those five big and three rough NPC guards with spears on the street, can't even gender stop you?

Well, it’s okay to strike up a conversation with the NPC guards, after all, everyone has the right to choose what they love and choose the direction of life.What's the point of chatting up a cow on the side of the road, even race can't stop you?

Under everyone's weird eyes, Mo Mo always had a bright smile on his mouth, walked all over the streets of Torbana, and struck up a conversation with every NPC.

"Hey, that's enough, I'm so tired, they all treat you like a lunatic."

Boli Reimu lay sprawled on top of Mo Mo's head, persuading Mo Mo feebly. Although she didn't do anything, she was responsible for her duties. She gave Mo Mo subtitles for a day, and it has been more than a thousand times so far.

However, Hakurei Reimu still admires Momo, because besides the thousands of "please specify the transaction partner", there are two "transaction successful"!

Yes, Momo traded successfully twice, once at a loss, and bought a piece of black bread for 10 kohls from the bakery aunt.The other time was successful. Mo Mo triggered a hidden mission, and the wild boar on his body was bought by a butcher at market price.

The bakery aunt can't squeeze oil and water, but the wild boar meat Mo Mo has made a lot of money.Regardless of just the market price, this is twice as much as Mo Mo's income from throwing wild boar meat directly at the store!

There are 17 pieces of wild boar meat, 20 kohls each, and Momo's funds are more than [-] kohls. It is no exaggeration for Momo to say that he is the richest man in SAO!

"Well, hold on, this corner is the only one left. Among other things, the daily hidden mission of the butcher alone is enough for us to obtain a huge amount of resources."

"Listen to you, anyway, you are shameless, no one is looking at me, and I will not lose my morals."

"Do you still have morals?"

"I bite you!"

"Oh yeah! How about biting me in the face? Whoops, don't pull my hair..."

The two came to the last corner of Torbana, where the blacksmith workshop was located.The blacksmith was an old man with a long beard, sitting carelessly on the boss's seat without any other expressions.

"Hey, this strong boss, you are really mighty and extraordinary. Shall we make a deal! One hundred Cole to buy you a fang dagger, how about it, this is a double premium!"

"As usual, there is no transaction partner."

Boli Reimu finished the final task feebly, and hid herself directly in Mo Mo's hair, as if covering herself with a golden quilt, and said, "I'm sleeping, I'm so tired, my heart is so tired."

"Unfortunately, little Lingmeng, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep anymore!"

There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of Mo Mo's mouth, and he turned to look at the corner of the blacksmith shop.

There, a thin woman with a cloth striped head and dark skin was looking at Mo Mo suspiciously.Mo Mo turned his head to meet her eyes, and she immediately turned back and continued the work in hand.

"Even the butcher and the proprietress of the bakery have never shown such emotions of curiosity. I feel that we have found a treasure!"

Xiao Lingmeng also regained her spirits, and stared at the woman with wide eyes. The woman seemed to notice Mo Mo's gaze, and subconsciously moved her steps, turning her back to Mo Mo.

"Well, it's even more interesting!"

Mo Mo grinned, came to the woman, and said: "Dear lady, how about we make a deal, I will exchange [-] Cole for your real name, can you tell me your name?"

"The deal... failed! Momo, Momo! She rejected your deal!"

Obviously the transaction failed, but Xiao Lingmeng yelled excitedly. At this time, the woman also turned her head and stared at Mo Mo with an unkind expression.

"Outsiders, you are not welcome here. I am not one of those women who wander around at night. If you want to have fun, you can naturally go to a dark corner to pose for Cole at night. And I am doing a serious job here."

The woman's voice was very light, giving people a feeling of weakness, but she took out the hammer, clamped a piece of iron with the iron tongs, and struck it on the anvil.

The transaction failed, but the smile on Mo Mo's face became brighter.

"Then, Miss Dark Elf, on the condition that your identity is kept secret, can I learn your blacksmithing skills from you? In return, I will definitely follow your teachings and fulfill your entrustment. What do you want?"

Hakurei Reimu was taken aback, and looked at the woman in front of her. With a "ding dong", the hammer and iron tongs in the woman's hand fell to the ground. She finally turned her head and looked at Mo Mo in shock.

"The transaction... was successful!"

Reimu Reimu muttered the subtitles, then looked at Mo Mo, and then at the woman in front of her in puzzlement.

"I hope you can keep it secret, I just want to survive here as a human being. But since it's just a transaction, I will teach you my skills, but I hate you, so every time your blacksmith skill is upgraded, I will I will ask for double the reward of the previous level. Now you give me 100 Cole, and I will teach you the lowest level of blacksmithing skills and forging formula!"

Mo Mo chose to agree without hesitation.

Different from the level system, SAO's sub-professional skills have a total of ten levels, LV2 is entry level, LV4 is proficiency, LV6 is mastery, LV8 is master, and LV10 is legend.

Each level has corresponding proficiency and formula requirements. Only when the proficiency and formula proficiency are sufficient can one be able to upgrade to the next level and obtain more formulas.Of course, this is a difficult process. Not only does proficiency grow slowly, but materials are required for each practice, and there is also the possibility of failure.

Therefore, in theory, sub-professions are not affordable for players to learn now. For the expensive tuition alone, no one will be willing to pay for it for a long time.

However, Mo Mo was rich, and he used his trading power to forcibly buy back a reward for a hidden mission.

"You have obtained the enhanced blacksmith skill: Dark Elf Blacksmith Forging Technique."

"You have obtained skill formulas, first-level weapon forging, first-level armor forging, and first-level mining skills. Please refer to the detailed formulas and ingredients yourself."

Mo Mo immediately turned on the skill, checked the formula, and nodded with satisfaction.Although the forging skill is only level 10, it has been able to produce LV[-] weapons at the highest level, and even the most advanced formulas are excellent weapons of various series. Of course, the requirements for materials and proficiency are also very high, and the success rate cannot be guaranteed.

The dark elf looked at Mo Mo's happy face, weighed the money in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.Although she was unhappy with Mo Mo, Cole was real. Anyway, she left the dark elves and lived as a human being, and she had already completely abandoned the so-called honor of elves.

"If you need materials, you can mine them yourself and get them from monsters. But I remind you that most of my materials are difficult to obtain from the first floor. You can buy them from me, but I only have stocks, and the price will be high. "

"But from the looks of it, you don't look like a character who is short of money. We don't have any friendship, so let's pay the money and deliver the goods, purely for business."

Listening to this slightly cold but warm line, Mo Mo stretched out his hand and said to the dark elf pretending to be a human: "Deal!"

030 Asuna's Change

"cut!"

The dark elf spat, slapped Momo's hand off, and said, "I just like Cole. It's okay, don't hang around here, I hate seeing you."

Facing such an NPC with personality, Hakurei Reimu was also dumbfounded.The dark elf pretending to be a human must have a deep secret hidden in front of her, and it seems that no one in the original book has discovered her.

Facing the dark elf's obviously disgusted tone, Mo Mo was even more happy, pinching his waist and said: "Don't worry, it's late today, I will come tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, Mo Mo ignored the hostile eyes of the dark elves, and swaggered out of the blacksmith house.

"Welcome next time, lad."
