Level 1 players only have two skill slots.
This was something that had been mentioned before.
It was only when players reached Level 6 that they would be able to add a third skill slot. Before that, players could only use two skills. They could only use a few, but not more.
One of Rozen's two skill slots was already occupied by Flying Sword. He originally planned to fill the remaining skill slot after he got the Rainbow Butterfly. But since he chose One-handed Sword as his weapon, Rozen naturally had to set One-handed Sword's skill, otherwise, he could only use Flying Sword's Sword Skill.
The two skill slots were both weapon skills.
Such a combination should be quite rare among low-level Players, right?
If it was an ordinary Player, they would only choose one weapon skill, and the other skill would either be a production skill or a passive skill that could assist in combat. Choosing two weapon skills meant that the Player could only increase the proficiency and power of one of the skills. After all, no matter what kind of Player, they couldn't use two different types of weapons at the same time.
Kirito was the same.
After choosing One-handed Sword as his main skill, Kirito chose Searching as his second skill.
As the name suggested, it was a skill used to detect enemies.
The Player who set this skill could improve their ability to identify enemies. Not only could it increase the probability of detecting enemies to a certain extent, but it could also grant abilities such as night vision, provided that the skill's proficiency reached the required level.
Kirito, who obtained this skill, was better at detecting enemies' tracks than ordinary Players. After entering the forest, he frequently found monsters' red cursor, which made Rozen avoid it.
However, even if he didn't avoid it, Rozen wouldn't be approached by monsters.
The reason was simple.
"Woo! Goo! "
The Rainbow Butterfly flying around Rozen would frequently make such a call when Rozen approached a monster that he hadn't discovered yet.
That was the unique ability of some Tamed Monsters with higher perception, which was to detect enemies.
In other words, even without Searching, Rozen could be warned by the Rainbow Butterfly that there was an enemy nearby.
Under such circumstances, even if he knew that SAO had become a death game, Kirito couldn't help but look at Rozen with envy.
"It's so much more convenient with Tamed Monsters. I don't even need to waste skill slots."
Kirito said so with envy.
Unfortunately …
"I only know that there's an enemy nearby. Without Searching, I can't see the monster's cursor, let alone know where the monster is."
Rozen said while pulling out the Bronze Sword from its scabbard.
Because …
"Then let me tell you since I have the Search skill."
Kirito pointed to the front.
"There's a monster there, and it's our target. The cursor is a bit red."
Although the monsters' cursor was all red, the players could roughly judge the strength of the enemy based on the intensity of the color.
If the monster's level was much higher than the player's, no matter how hard the player tried, the cursor on the monster's head would be dark red.
If the monsters' levels were much lower than his, no matter how many he killed, he would not be able to gain much experience. The cursor would be a light pink color that was close to white.
The enemy's level was similar to the player's cursor. Stronger red meant more dangerous, and lighter red meant relatively safe.
Kirito was referring to the former.
There was a monster in front of them that was more or less too dangerous for their current level.
As they approached, Rozen also saw the monster.
"Small Man-Eating Plant."
That was the monster's official name.
The monster's name clearly contained the word 'small', but it was actually a meter and a half tall. Its appearance was as its name suggested, a plant with the body of a pitcher plant. The lower half of its body was made up of countless squirming roots. On the left and right sides of its body were curled vines with sharp leaves. Its head was a large mouth used for hunting, and when it opened and closed, it constantly dripped mucus.
The Man-Eating Plant was level 3, so its cursor was naturally darker than red.
For safety reasons, the two of them should avoid such a monster.
However, just as Kirito said, Rozen was the target of their mission.
Rozen immediately looked at the monster's head.
Rozen and Kirito's quest item was the Small Man-Eating Plant's ovule.
It would only drop from a flowering Man-Eating Plant.
If the monster dropped ovule, there should be a flower on its head.
So Rozen stared at the monster, but Kirito, who had Search skill, saw the monster first.
"It's not what we want."
That was the answer.
"Sure enough, it's not that easy."
Rozen shrugged.
Among all the Small Man-Eating Plants, the probability of having a flowering plant was less than 1%. Otherwise, the reward for this quest wouldn't be such a high-performance weapon.
It was because the quest target was so rare that the quest reward was so high.
In the past, in order to complete this quest, some unlucky Players hunted here for three days and finally gave up.
As a Player who did this quest, Kirito naturally knew that.
But …
"As long as we keep killing the ordinary Small Man-Eating Plants, the probability of the flowering plant appearing will increase."
Kirito stared at the Small Man-Eating Plant walking slowly on the ground and subconsciously lowered his voice.
"Moreover, the Small Man-Eating Plant is level 3, as long as we keep killing them here, the exp will increase a lot. If we stay up a little bit, it shouldn't be a problem for us to reach level 5 before dawn."
That was quite efficient.
The most suitable level for the first floor was level 1 to 10.
Once one surpassed this level, the amount of EXP gained on this floor would be so low that it made one despair.
Therefore, during the closed beta, Players formed a large-scale Raid Alliance when they were level 5 to 7 to challenge the Floor Boss. After several attempts, they opened the door to the second floor.
Being able to reach level 5 overnight, how could the efficiency be low?
Of course …
"If there is profit, there is danger, right?" So Rozen didn't care, "The monsters here are higher level than us, in addition to the flowering plant, there will also be another Small Man-Eating Plant with a round fruit. If you accidentally hit the fruit during the battle, it will burst with a loud noise and emit smoke, gathering all the Small Man-Eating Plants in the surrounding area, right?"
The consequences of being surrounded by a group of monsters with a higher level than you were was obvious.
Kirito also knew that Rozen didn't need his reminder, but he couldn't help but nag a little.
There was no other way.
"If you die, mom, Xiao Zhi, and I won't feel good."
Leaving such a whisper, Kirito rushed ahead of Rozen.
Looking at Kirito, Rozen was silent.
"Goo!"
At this time, the Rainbow Butterfly alerted him.
In the other direction, a second small man-eating plant was slowly approaching them.
"Phew …"
Rozen exhaled, holding the bronze one-handed sword in his hand.
"Come on!"
