The second watch was delivered! Thank you, stand-in 120, the flowers from the cute girl, and the evaluation votes. Your support is my greatest motivation!!! A ticket!
In the blink of an eye, another half a month had passed. It had been a month since he arrived in the SAO world. Up until now, a total of 2,000 players had lost their lives in the game. The BOSS of the first floor of the maze had yet to be discovered, and most of the players were already in low spirits.
Naturally, this did not include Wang Hen. After obtaining the Cooking skill, Wang Hen's lifestyle could be said to be ahead of all the players. Even though he still could not make his favorite Chinese food in the game, he could only make things like hamburgers in fast food restaurants like KFO.
Of course, he had learned from Yasna's method of mixing the ingredients. He had slowly obtained the ingredients and mixed them one by one. The reason why he could not make Chinese food was not only because of the skill level, but also because the materials on the first floor could only be used to make fast food at most. For example, there were no ingredients to mix seasonings such as sauce and vinegar.
In terms of combat, due to the addition of his battle intuition, his gaming skills had finally reached the level of a top player. In terms of game controls, Wang Hen was also better than other players. This was because in SAO's games, the longer one infiltrated, the higher one's compatibility with the game, and the smoother one's game controls would become.
In the beginning, all the players, including the main character Kirito, had to wait for their bodies to make the corresponding movements before the system would react to the release of the skill. This meant that everyone would inevitably have some pauses and intervals in their attacks, and often these pauses and intervals would become the key factors that determined their survival.
Wang Hen borrowed the power of the Lord God and directly brought his physical body into the game. It could be said that no one in the game had a higher compatibility with the game than him. In the beginning, when he used his skills, he would have the same reaction time as other players, but now, this pause had completely disappeared. He could even suddenly interrupt his skills and immediately change to another skill to attack.
Under such circumstances, he was already much stronger than the most powerful player. In the original novel, Kirito could almost solo the BOSS on the first floor. Later on, he did so. Although he had learned the basics of Kendo before, it was also because of his reaction time that was many times faster than other players.
Although Wang Hen did not have the foundation of Kirito Kendo, he had been training in the wilderness for the past month. His actual combat skills were definitely not any worse than Kirito's. Moreover, he had discovered another effect of his battlefield intuition in battle. He seemed to be able to vaguely determine the enemy's next attack based on the flow of air.
Wang Hen was both surprised and delighted when he discovered this. This meant that as long as he could keep up with the enemy's attacks, he could take precautions in advance. His reaction speed was even better. In this world, only Hayaba Akihiko, who had the authority of a GM, could compare to him.
Now, Wang Hen had arrived at the last town on the first floor. He estimated that it was about time for the players to take the initiative to hold a meeting on the BOSS's strategy. This was because he had been living a two-to-one life. He would return very late every day, and the players would go to bed early. He would go to bed as soon as he returned to the hotel.
Therefore, he did not have the chance to hear any news from the other Players, so he could only rely on his own judgment to determine the time and place of the meeting. Fortunately, he happened to confirm the time and place of the meeting from the idle chat of the other Players on the way here. It was the next morning, in an abandoned theater in the town.
After he arrived early and confirmed the time of the meeting, he quickly became idle. In his boredom, he began to wander around to see if he could get any interesting information from other players. So he first went to the inn in the town. In the game, such places usually served as taverns and other facilities.
"Hey, did you know? I heard that someone has already discovered the location of the first floor's BOSS. Tomorrow, there will be a BOSS strategy meeting!”
"Ah! You mean this? That's right, I've heard about it too. It's said that a team formed by a guy called Diobell was the first to discover it! Because he was worried that he would not be able to successfully conquer it with his strength, he gathered his men to make it easier for him to move.”
"Do you think…that guy called Diobel is a closed beta tester?”
"Beta tester? Are you talking about the group of players who participated in the beta test before the game was released?”
"That's right, it's those bastards. They clearly have first-hand information, but they didn't release any of it. They must be responsible for the deaths of those 2,000 people!”
"You're right! That group of WBDs had disappeared without a trace from the beginning. They must have armed themselves with the information they had. They did not care about the lives of ordinary players like us at all!”
When Wang Hen heard this, he no longer had any interest in listening. Now, the ordinary players of the game had begun to slowly shift the accumulated conflicts that had been trapped in the game to the players who had participated in the closed beta. They believed that if they had disclosed the information in their hands, the ordinary players would not have suffered such a huge loss.
Wang Hen had a different view on this matter. Humans were all selfish. Other than some saintly saints, who wouldn't think of protecting themselves first? The reason why normal players disliked closed beta players was because their lives were threatened.
If the group of people who complained had participated in the closed beta of the game, they might not have helped other ordinary players like he said. It was more likely that they would act like other closed beta players.
Furthermore, it wasn't as if those closed beta players had done nothing. Wang Hen had already seen the game information manual given out by the closed beta players mentioned in the original work in the shop. He had also activated one of the gifts given by God, the passive skill " Battlefield Instinct ", because he had completed the quest " The Veil of Counterattack ".
Besides, if he had the time to complain, he might as well think about how to improve his level and equipment so that he could survive in the game. Thinking about useless things would only end up becoming one of the members who stayed in the starting town in fear all day long.
Wang Hen did not want to hear the players complain anymore. He got up and left the inn. He found a quiet garden and sat down. Soon, it was noon, and he was a little hungry after shopping for so long. Wang Hen immediately took out the materials from his inventory and prepared to make today's lunch.
Due to the lack of materials and the limitation of skill level, Wang Hen could only make some fast food, such as hamburgers, meat rolls, and so on. This kind of food could be cooked and eaten at any time. When Wang Hen was fighting monsters in the wild to level up, he ate it almost every day and was already a little tired of it.
Now, he was preparing to roast the meat that he had made when he had just activated his cooking skill. Although he was limited by the lack of ingredients and could not concoct soy sauce and other condiments for the time being, Wang Hen had already discovered and prepared salt and chili.
Among them, the production of salt was a plant called Moloch's root that Wang Hen had discovered in a mission. The salt content was huge and pure. After completing the mission, Wang Hen went to collect some and made salt by boiling it.
As for the substitute for chili, Wang Hen had found it when he was bored. He had thought about salt and imitated Shennong's taste of hundreds of herbs. Although he had almost died from poisoning, in the eyes of a foodie like Wang Hen, the final reward was definitely worth it.
After a few consecutive operations, Wang Hen's roast meat was immediately ready. The difference between cooking in SAO and in real life was still huge. In real life, it would take at least half an hour to roast meat, but in the game, it only required a few simple operations to complete in an instant. For a foodie like Wang Hen, it was naturally much more convenient.
The roasted meat in his hand emitted a tempting fragrance. Wang Hen's appetite immediately increased. Just as he was about to wolf down the meat, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly sounded beside him.
"This is…roasted meat?"
Turning around, he saw a man covered in a cloak, only half of his face exposed, staring at the roasted meat in his hand. The way he stared at it was very interesting.
Wang Hen glanced over and saw an unusual name. He smiled at the cloaked man and took out a dagger from his inventory. He used the dagger to split some of the roasted meat in his hand. Then, he plucked a leaf from the tree beside him and wrapped it around the roasted meat. He said to the cloaked man,"Do you want to try it?"
Seeing Wang Hen's actions, the cloaked man was clearly stunned. Then, he took the roasted meat from Wang Hen's hand.
"Try it. It's delicious!" Wang Hen said with a smile.
Seeing the cloaked man bring the roasted meat to his mouth and take a small bite, his entire body shook. Then, under Wang Hen's surprised expression, he started wolfing down the meat. The roasted meat that Wang Hen had cut for him was at least the size of a pineapple, but it was completely devoured by him in the blink of an eye.
Only when he let out a satisfied sigh did the cloaked man remember that Wang Hen was still beside him. Seeing Wang Hen's surprised expression, his face turned red and he coughed twice before saying softly,"Thank you."
"It's fine, it's fine. I obtained this skill from a mission previously. Looking at you, you definitely can't stand the smell of that bread, right? Do you want me to tell you how to obtain it?”Wang Hen said with a smile. When he saw the name beside the health bar, Wang Hen knew that this person was definitely the female lead in the original work, Yasna.
Asna was one of Wang Hen's favorite anime characters. She was a great cook, and he had never had the chance to meet her before Kirito arrived in this world. How could he not take the opportunity to improve his impression of her?
"No, I didn't come here for these things.”As expected, Yasna rejected Wang Hen just like in the original novel. She then said,"I advise you not to be addicted to this kind of thing.”As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
The smile on Wang Hen's face froze. When he came back to his senses, Asna's figure had already disappeared from the garden.'F * ck, what is this? You're going to turn hostile after eating everything?' Director, there's something wrong with the script.
