Next, Rozen ran straight toward the forest without stopping.
Even when many monsters in the wild found Rozen and attacked him, Rozen didn't stop.
Wild boars and wolves roamed the streets of the Town of Beginnings.
These monsters were the lowest level monsters in Aincrad. Each of them was only level 1, and only some of them were level 2 elites. Even so, they couldn't do anything to Rozen. Rozen directly took out the flying needles from the bag on his waist and used Flying Sword's basic Sword Skill to kill them on the spot.
Originally, it was difficult to kill a monster in one blow with only Flying Sword's basic Sword Skill. Otherwise, all Players would not upgrade their weapon skills, but their throwing skills, which could be used for long-range attacks. That way, it would be too easy to kill a monster.
Because Flying Sword's power was small, many Players only used Flying Sword as a bait instead of using it to kill enemies.
The reason why Rozen was able to kill a monster in one blow was because he used all his Cor to buy the most advanced throwing item in the Town of Beginnings, Flying Needles.
Using this Little Flying Needle to throw, with the help of Sword Skill, the damage was enough to kill a level 1 or 2 monster. Even if it was used to deal with a level 3, 4, or 5 monster, it was enough to deal enough damage. Not to mention using it on the first floor, even if it was used on the third floor, it would be enough to deal enough damage.
Of course, only Rozan Can would use such an item.
After all, throwing items were only one-time use, and they were quite expensive. Even if Rozen spent all his Cor, he only got 20 Flying Needles, which made it impossible for him to buy weapons and armor. In the eyes of other Players, it was simply a waste of money.
Twenty Little Flying Needles could only kill twenty level 1 and level 2 monsters at most. The money earned from killing them was not enough to make up for the difference, and the Exp was not enough to level up either. Unless they dropped a rare item, it would be a total loss.
But Rozen didn't care.
As a beta tester, Rozen knew where to get better weapons and armor. He also knew several quests that could earn a lot of rewards. He even knew the location of many treasure chests.
For the current Rozen, as long as he could cross the grassland and reach the forest as quickly as possible, it would be the greatest benefit. So what if he spent some money on it?
Besides, Rozen had already said so.
"I like the feeling of throwing money at people!"
Although Rozen was just using it to smash monsters, Rozen didn't care.
Just like that, Rozen ran across the grassland as fast as he could while constantly taking out flying needles from his pouch. Once he encountered a monster in the wild, he immediately used Single Shot to kill the monster.
During this period, a window kept popping up in front of Rozen, telling him how much Exp, Cor, and loot he earned after defeating those monsters.
Rozen's luck was pretty good. When he killed a beetle on the way, it dropped a very rare material, which was one of the main materials used to forge a high-performance weapon. According to the official website, the drop rate of this material was only 0.3%. If Rozen sold it, let alone 20 little flying needles, even 100 little flying needles would be worth it.
"I like this feeling the most."
While Rozen was enjoying the game world, he arrived at the forest while checking the loot.
"— — —"
As soon as Rozen entered the forest, the atmosphere began to change.
Not only the atmosphere, but even the background music also changed, becoming a relatively quiet song.
After the background music changed, Rozen slowed down his pace, stepped on the rustling forest path, and began to walk in a direction.
"If I remember correctly, it should be this direction, right?"
Following the closed beta's memory, Rozen changed his direction and listened carefully.
Because in this forest, the types of monsters will change, such as worms, beetles, wasps, and so on, Rozen didn't dare to be careless.
These monsters usually had a special attack, and if he only relied on Flying Sword, he might not be able to kill them in one hit, unless it was a sneak attack.
So, it was better to be careful.
"My goal this time is not to kill monsters."
Rozen reminded himself, and according to the memory, he went to the remote area of the forest.
"Woo …"
After a while, a very soft but quite special sound came into Rozen's ears.
Rozen's eyes immediately lit up.
"That's it!"
Immediately, Rozen slowed down again and slowly approached the source of the sound.
Until he came to a bush …
"Woo …"
Rozen, who was standing in front of the bushes, finally saw it.
Under a tree in front of the bush, a monster appeared there.
It was neither a pig, nor a wolf, nor a variety of insect monsters in the forest, but a beautiful Swallowtail Butterfly.
The Swallowtail Butterfly was the size of a soccer ball, and its body was mainly black and gray. It had a pair of aqua blue eyes and a pair of gorgeous wings. The base color of the wings was black, with yellow patterns taking up the majority, followed by red and blue, forming a very incredible pattern.
The Swallowtail Butterfly's body wasn't as small as an ordinary butterfly's. Instead, it was a little naive. It looked like a cute doll with wings. It also had four short limbs and a pair of long antennae. It had a long, tube-like mouth that let out a pleasant cry. It was definitely the type that could move a girl's heart.
Rozen looked at the Swallowtail Butterfly.
The buoy on its head was red, representing the fact that it was a monster.
The monster's official name was "Rainbow Butterfly".
Looking at the Rainbow Butterfly, Rozen smiled sincerely.
"Sure enough, you're still here, my familiar."
Yes.
Familiar.
Although there was no magic in this world, there were still familiars.
However, they were not the kind of monsters that magicians often contracted with, but monsters in SAO.
In this world, monsters usually did not have rationality.
Once they saw a Player approaching, they would attack.
However, the monsters that always attacked in battle would occasionally express their goodwill to the players.
If Rozen could seize this opportunity to feed the monster and make it take the initiative to follow him, the monster would become a precious existence that could provide all kinds of help to the Player, the Tamed Monster.
Of course, not every monster could become a familiar.
Only a small number of small animal-type monsters could become a familiar. It was impossible for a Player to walk on the street with a huge boss.
Moreover, it was quite difficult to successfully tame a familiar.
For example, the Player couldn't kill too many monsters of the same type. Even if the Player repeatedly tried to contact the monster that might become a familiar, those monsters would usually take the initiative to attack, and there was no way to avoid fighting. The Player needed to keep contact with the Tamed Monster without killing it, but as long as the condition to tame it wasn't triggered, it would run away without saying a word. One could imagine how difficult it was to tame a familiar.
Because of this, only one Player could tame a familiar during the closed beta.
