People are selfish.
In order to be one step ahead of the other players, the beta testers went to places where they had many advantages, which was understandable.
However, were all players good people?
All the players here were the best players in the game. Now that the game had been running for a month, not only had they reached the labyrinth area, but they had also encountered the final boss monster on the first floor. If it was only limited to this floor, the information they had on hand was definitely not inferior to the players who were still in the closed beta period, right?
However, among them, how many of them had provided their information and knowledge to those who had not yet reached the frontline, and were still in the middle stage of the game, or simply the middle and bottom players in the Town of Beginnings?
Therefore, if the beta testers were selfish, then the players would also fall into the same category.
"After all, it is something that we have worked hard to obtain. Whether it is the detailed map files of each training area or even the labyrinth area, the distribution and attack patterns of the monsters that appear, the drop points of the items that can be obtained, the location of the quest NPC, and the explanation of the quest, etc., these information can be sold for a lot of money. How many people would be willing to share it for free?"
Rozen said with a hint of disdain.
"Since you can't do it yourself, why should you ask others to do it?"
This was also the reason why Rozen had always been too lazy to argue with these players who came to find trouble with him just because he was a beta tester.
"Don't think that you are different from the beta testers, idiots."
Rozen directly launched a verbal attack on all the players in the room, showing no mercy.
This infuriated many players, but they couldn't stand up and say 'I'm different', causing a strange silence to spread throughout the arena.
Seeing this situation, Kirito and Argo breathed a sigh of relief one after another, and their faces also looked a lot better.
These two beta testers must have been living a very sullen life, right?
Argo was a closed beta tester. Although she never revealed her identity, most of the information she received must have come from the closed beta testers. Many players received this information from her, but then turned around and started to despise the closed beta testers. Argo must be in a bad mood.
Moreover, Argo acted like a money-grubber in front of Rozen, willing to sell almost any information he could get. But in fact, most of the information Argo provided to new Players for free. Even the Item House gave out Walkthroughs for free. It was mainly used to guide Players who wanted to clear the game so that they wouldn't be completely clueless about the game.
This guide book was written by Argo.
The money earned from players, including Rozen, would be used by Argo to create the strategy guide and distributed to all players for free.
Because Rozen knew this, he didn't set up any defenses around Argo, and Argo often obtained information from him. However, this information was also used to earn more money to create a walkthrough, or it was used to create more detailed information for the walkthrough and distributed to all Players.
Therefore, Argo had done her utmost for the players, and there was no reason for her to be blamed.
As for Kirito, this young man did not contribute much. In order to survive, he desperately used the knowledge from the closed beta testers to get to where he was now.
But the rest of the players were the same. Why should they blame him?
Although Kirito did not think that way, and he even felt guilty about it, he should be able to let go of the grudge now, right?
At least, Rozen did not feel that he had done anything wrong.
"Helping others can be a responsibility or an obligation, but it is definitely not a mission."
"Not helping others can be selfish or self-serving, but it is definitely not a mistake."
"We didn't just watch anyone die, and we didn't do anything outrageous."
"So, you want to blame us?"
"No way!"
Rozen's uncompromising statement was met with an even more oppressive silence.
Even King Of Ya seemed to be completely speechless. He could only stare at Rozen. It was obvious that he was unwilling, but he had to admit it.
But …
"Even if that is the case, there must be a lot of beta testers, including you, who relied on useful information and knowledge to become top players, right?" King Of Ya said in a low voice, "Among those guys, there are also people who do not care about the lives of others. Wait until we defeat the floor boss, then rush into the second floor and get the benefits first!"
If that really happened, who would be willing to accept it?
"So, I absolutely do not trust the beta testers!"
King Of Ya said so.
But this time, it was not to blame the beta testers, but to express his own opinion.
And this seemed to be the opinion of most people.
"When we reach the second floor, will the beta testers be ahead of us again?"
"How can we accept that?"
"That's right!"
The players expressed such opinions one by one.
The one who refuted them wasn't Rozen, but another group of people who had been watching from the beginning and didn't get incited.
The leader of this group of people was the giant man.
"I don't agree with this view."
The two-handed tomahawk user named Aikir raised his hand and said so.
"Just now, the little brother over there also said that the beta testers think that they have knowledge, but they also have to pay a greater price. It's the same even on the second floor, maybe even more. We shouldn't take this kind of thing seriously, right?"
Aikir's statement was also rejected by the other players.
"Now that the beta testers have experience, they will definitely be more careful."
"In this case, their knowledge and information can still come in handy."
"If they are more careful, the mortality rate will be reduced, right?"
"The most important thing is that they did not put in any effort to defeat the boss, they can still be one step ahead of everyone else."
"We can't let this happen."
"That's right."
One by one, the players said this one after another.
And this time …
"Who said that the beta testers are not willing to contribute?"
It was Argo who said such a sentence.
The intelligence dealer who has been hiding in the corner suddenly came out and came to Rozen's side.
"You …!"
Seeing Argo walk out, Kibao stood up in astonishment.
Not only King Of Ya, but Diabel also frowned.
But Argo did not care about anyone.
"Are you still not going to come out?"
Argo shouted to the players around him.
This made the players a little confused.
However, in the next second, these players all saw it.
In all directions of the fountain square, players came out from the corners one after another and came to the square.
