After a month, Kirito, just like Rozen, was almost reborn.
Rozen could see at a glance that the quality of Kirito's equipment was very different from before. Not only his armor was fully replaced, but even the Anneal Sword on his back was glowing.
It was obvious that the sword had been strengthened quite a bit as well.
Although he hadn't seen Kirito for a month, the two had already logged into each other's friend list. Except in the labyrinth area, they were able to send each other messages.
Therefore, Rozen also learned about Kirito's situation, including his level and equipment quality.
Take Kirito's Anneal Sword for example. This one-handed sword has been strengthened to + 6, and it's Sharpness + 3 and Durability + 3. If it was sold in the market, it could be sold for at least 30000 Cor.
As for Kirito's level, he has reached level 12, which was two levels higher than the average level of the top Players.
And this was only the strength on the surface.
It didn't take a genius to figure out that Kirito's skills must have become more proficient, and he might even have found some tricks to use Eye of the Mind.
Rozen gave his brother a very high evaluation in his heart.
In any case, Rozen was relieved that Kirito was here.
"I heard from Argo that you've been staying in the labyrinth area for some time. Why haven't I seen you around?"
Rozen asked while reminiscing with Kirito.
In response, Kirito's answer was as follows.
"I heard that there seems to be orange players in the labyrinth area recently, and they caused a lot of trouble. In order not to get involved, I've been sneaking up to the 15th and 16th floor, and I haven't gone up to the 17th floor."
So it was because of the orange players' commotion?
"As for you, I've asked Argo. Although you've been sneaking into the labyrinth area recently, you've been blocked by many players in the training area, right?"
Kirito looked at Rozen with a hazy look in his eyes.
Even though Kirito knew about Rozen's recent situation, and knew that since Rozen was still alive and well, there shouldn't be any major problems, but when he thought about how Rozen was the one who bore the brunt of the hostility towards beta testers, Kirito couldn't help but feel upset.
After all, Kirito was also a beta tester.
As long as they were beta testers, they had to apologize to Rozen.
After all, Rozen bore the brunt of the players' dissatisfaction towards beta testers, and he even went through several dangerous situations.
Moreover, the other party was his brother in real life. How could Kirito not feel uncomfortable?
"Rozen, I …"
At that moment, Kirito wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Rozen.
"Alright, don't put all the blame on yourself." Rozen patted Kirito's shoulder and said, "Indeed, because I was the only beta tester who was recognized, most of the players' resentment towards beta testers was vented on me, but that was also done by others, not by you."
Rozen didn't think that the rest of the beta testers should stand up and bear the blame instead of letting him bear it alone.
"No matter what, I'm the one who didn't want to give up on my Tamed Monster. If I was really afraid of being looked down upon by others, I wouldn't have walked into the town carelessly, and even appeared in the labyrinth area."
Rozen's tone didn't seem to care about it at all.
Even if he was childish, Rozen didn't want to blame Kirito for this fault.
"So, don't think too much about it."
Rozen said in an unquestionable tone, which made Kirito smile bitterly.
"You're still the same as before. Sometimes you're unreasonable, and sometimes you make people feel like they can't even refute your theory."
Kirito said with a sigh, which made Rozen smile.
"Let's not talk about this." Rozen asked Kirito the question that concerned him the most: "How is it? Have you mastered Eye of the Mind already? "
Hearing that, Kirito's expression became even more helpless.
"Unfortunately, I can't grasp the trick at all." Kirito touched the hilt of the weapon on his back, as if he was reminiscing the battles he had fought so far, he muttered to himself: "However, I always feel that I'm getting closer to that realm, the realm where I can peer into the depths of the world and see the essence of phenomena."
"… Is that so?" Rozen nodded slightly, but his heart was somewhat shocked.
(It's only been a month, but I already feel like I'm peeping into it?)
In order to grasp this feeling, Rozen spent nearly a year.
Although that was because Rozen not only practiced Eye of the Mind, but also spent time re-opening the magic circuit, learning summoning tactics, improving other magic skills, and so on. In addition, Eye of the Mind was not a technique that could be completed with magic alone, which led to him spending so much time. Even if he really practiced Eye of the Mind, Rozen was not confident that he could grasp the feeling within a month.
But Kirito did it.
(Is this guy's potential that high?)
Perhaps Kirito could really touch that realm and become a figure comparable to the eminent monks, sages, and even Einherjar in history.
Thinking of that, Rozen's eyes began to change when he looked at Kirito, and he even faintly looked forward to his brother's future.
Of course, while Rozen was looking forward to Kirito's future, Kirito was also envious of Rozen's opportunity.
"Your Anneal Sword is already + 8, right?" Kirito looked at the one-handed sword on Rozen's waist that was more dazzling than his own sword, and said with some envy: "I really don't know how you did it, I'm only + 6, and my level is two levels lower than you."
For this, Rozen accepted it calmly.
"After all, I have Saichou's help. My efficiency in hunting monsters is higher than yours, and the probability of getting enhancement materials is also higher than yours. That's why my Exp naturally increases faster, and the highest success rate is 95% every time."
In other words, the difference between Rozen and Kirito was just one tamed monster.
However, Kirito's next words made Rozen's heart jump.
"Anneal Sword + 8 has been strengthened to the limit. There should be a lot of Players coveting it." Kirito inadvertently said, "Even my Anneal Sword + 6 is being targeted by Players, and Argo has been contacting me these days, saying that someone wants to buy it."
"What did you say?" Rozen suddenly looked at Kirito in surprise and said: "Argo was asked to contact you, saying that someone wants to buy your Anneal Sword + 6?"
"Yeah." Kirito nodded and asked strangely: "Is there something wrong?"
"… No, nothing." Rozen shook his head, but many thoughts emerged in his mind.
Recalling that Argo also looked for him before, Rozen's eyes flickered slightly.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
At this time, a very clear clapping sound spread throughout the audience.
"Everyone, please pay attention here!"
