After that, Rozen didn't go straight to leveling up, nor did he return to the Town of Beginnings. Instead, he went somewhere else.
To be specific, he went to the place where there were various treasure chests and began his treasure hunt.
There was no other way.
Right now, Rozen couldn't level up, nor could he return to the town.
Because he ran out of Little Flying Needles, and he didn't have any weapons on hand, even if Rozen wanted to level up, he couldn't. Unless he could tolerate the super low efficiency of killing monsters with pebbles, he could only go back to the town to buy weapons and start all over again.
However, once Rozen returned to the town with the Rainbow Butterfly, he would immediately be targeted by tens of thousands of SAO players.
Rozen, who already experienced this feeling during the closed beta, knew that it would be very troublesome if that really happened.
At that time, the beta testers would recognize his identity, and the novice players would gather around him to ask for information or even pay to buy it. The female players who were attracted by the Rainbow Butterfly's cute and beautiful appearance would do everything they could to pester him, which was really annoying.
Therefore, Rozen couldn't go back to the town.
Since that was the case, he had to go somewhere else.
Although the Town of Beginnings was the main city of the 1st Floor of Aincrad, and it was the largest town in the entire 1st Floor, it wasn't the only town in the 1st Floor.
Some distance away from the town, there were villages where high-level monsters would appear. There were also NPCs who would issue quests with high rewards, difficulty, and rewards.
"The beta testers will definitely target these villages that no one has reached yet, right?"
The beta testers who clearly knew the way to kill high-level monsters, how to complete quests, and so on would definitely take advantage of this information to widen the gap between them and the novice Players in terms of level, equipment, and even money.
Rozen, who didn't have a weapon, naturally couldn't target these villages, and he didn't want to compete with the other beta testers for resources. So while the other players were immersed in their own game, Rozen embarked on a journey to find treasure chests.
Under such circumstances, although Rozen's level didn't increase, and his Exp was still at the level where he killed more than a dozen monsters with Little Flying Needles, there was still a long way to go before he could level up, but his item bar was constantly increasing.
After opening treasure chests that no one was interested in, Rozen obtained money, materials, potions, and other items to fill up his inventory.
While others were leveling up, Rozen was increasing his net worth, causing the space in his inventory to decrease.
"I guess it won't be long before he can't carry any more weight anymore, right?"
Rozen said as he checked the items in his inventory.
There was no limit to the number of tools a player could carry. However, there was a weight limit. Once an item reached its limit, it could no longer be carried.
The weight here didn't only refer to the items in his inventory, but also the weapons, armor, and materialized items on his body. Only by increasing his STR (Muscle Strength) would he be able to increase his weight limit, or by learning various skills that could reduce or increase his weight limit, he would be able to carry more items.
As a result, Rozen, who was only level 1, naturally couldn't carry too much weight. After obtaining various items from treasure chests and loot, his inventory was almost full.
"Once it's full, I'll go to the village ahead to get a better weapon and level up."
Rozen had such a plan.
"Goo!"
The Rainbow Butterfly has been following Rozen, flapping its wings and constantly sprinkling its phosphorescent powder, making its whole body glitter, it looked very attractive.
"Although I already knew it, I can't help but wonder why those female players are so in love with you, little guy."
So Rozen teased the Rainbow Butterfly.
"Woo?"
The Rainbow Butterfly tilted its head as if it understood what Rozen was saying, making it look even cuter.
Not long after, the color of the sky began to gradually darken, allowing the sun to slowly descend, dyeing the clouds red.
Rozen stopped in the wilderness and looked at the scene from afar. He couldn't help but sigh.
"If Matthew saw this sky, she would be very happy, right?"
Although that was what he said, what Rozen was looking at was not the sky, but the bottom of the upper floor.
Aincrad was originally a floating city formed by stacking 100 floors.
In other words, the real sky was outside of the floating city.
What Rozen was looking at now was only the bottom of the second floor.
However, the bottom of the city was not gray. Instead, there were floating clouds. Sunlight shone in from the outside of the floating city. After being refracted by the ceiling and the ground, it looked like the real sky. It was very magical.
"Only in the VR world can such an incredible phenomenon be achieved."
Rozen turned his head and looked in another direction.
In that direction, there was a stone tower that directly connected to the bottom of the upper floor.
"Labyrinth area …"
That was the staircase leading to the next floor, which was the so-called labyrinth area.
If players wished to ascend to the next floor, they would have to enter the labyrinth that led to the next floor. They would have to defeat monsters that were far more powerful than the ones in the Field Training Area. They would have to reach the top of the staircase and defeat the Floor Boss in the room that led to the next floor. Only then would they be considered to have cleared this floor. Then, they would be able to ascend to the next floor and face stronger monsters, better equipment, and better opportunities to improve their strength.
Moreover, once they cleared the first floor and reached the second floor, they could activate a teleportation point located in the town on the second floor, the Teleportation Gate.
Through the Teleportation Gate, Players no longer needed to move through the staircase between floors. All they needed to do was shout the name of the destination they wanted to reach, and they could teleport to any town that had a teleportation gate, and they could reach any floor that had been cleared.
"The Grand Magic Level Teleportation has become a means of transportation. If this happened in Chaldea's world, I'll definitely be cursed and cursed by the magus association, right?"
Rozen couldn't help but laugh, looking at the setting sun, he stretched his body.
"Well, let's go offline and eat first. I'll stay up all night."
After making such a decision, Rozen called out the main menu, clicked the button at the bottom right, and was ready to select the "Logout" option to leave the current world and return to the real world.
However …
"Huh?"
Rozen's voice sounded a little stunned.
The reason was simple.
"The logout command is gone?"
Yes.
The logout command was gone.
The option that allowed Players to leave the game and return to the real world was grayed out.
That meant he couldn't choose and couldn't execute it.
"This …"
Rozen frowned.
