"Ding-a-ling!"
Argo pushed open the door of the bar and walked out of Red Wings' base.
Looking at Argo's back, Rozen recalled what Argo just told him, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"It's actually at this time …"
Is this a good thing?
At least, Rozen hoped that there was no problem.
Perhaps because Rozen's contemplative look was too eye-catching, the guild members who were chatting and laughing gathered around him.
"What's wrong? Leader? "
"What problem did that 'mouse' bring you this time?"
"Is it because of the Clearers?"
"Or is it because of the Aincrad Liberation Squad?"
"Anyway, it must be something big for the leader to be so immersed in his thoughts, right?"
"I think so too."
One by one, the guild members started chattering, filling the entire bar with noise.
In this regard, Rozen didn't explain anything and just threw out a sentence.
"Why are all of you gathered here one by one? If you have nothing to do, go and level up! "
Hearing Rozen's words, the guild members all sighed.
"Is there a need to work so hard?"
"We just cleared the 25th Floor not long ago!"
"The Floor Boss on that floor was so strong that I woke up from my sleep for several days!"
"Let's take a break for a while!"
"Anyway, the Clearers haven't cleared the 26th Floor yet, right?"
"How about we call it quits for today?"
The guild members voiced their dissatisfaction one after another.
This was no small matter.
Most of the players here were beta testers, and they valued their levels and training even more than other players. In addition, in order to protect their reputation as the strongest guild and the top players, they would wake up early in the morning and sneak into the training area and the labyrinth area. They would only return in the evening. Some of them would even stay up all night to level up. They were a group of hardcore gamers.
Now, such a group of Players gathered in the guild's base to laze around, which was simply unheard of.
But Rozen also understood the reason.
(Looks like it's not just the other players who have low morale. It's the same for our guild.)
After experiencing the horror of the 25th floor, even beta testers were hesitant and uneasy about the 26th floor.
After all, the closed beta testing period ended at the 10th floor. After the 10th floor, the beta testers were no different from ordinary players. They no longer had the information and knowledge of the latest floor. They could only rely on other players and slowly explore.
After experiencing the horror of the 25th floor, even beta testers would flinch at the thought of going to the next floor, right?
The reason why the beta testers in the guild would gather at the base was probably because they were subconsciously looking for companions to ease the anxiety and hesitation in their hearts.
Therefore, this matter might be more serious than Rozen imagined.
(I must find a time to settle this as soon as possible.)
Coincidentally, the news that Argo had just brought might be able to change the situation.
At that moment, Rozen spoke to all the guild members present.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you today. You can rest for another day."
After saying that, before the guild members could cheer up, So Rozen added another sentence.
"However, there will be a strategy meeting on the 26th floor tomorrow. You are not allowed to be absent."
Hearing this, the players present were surprised.
"Are … are we going to deal with the Training Area Boss so soon?"
"Should we wait a little longer?"
"Maybe the incident on the 25th floor will happen again?"
There was a slight commotion among the guild members.
It wasn't that they couldn't understand what these guild members were thinking.
The so-called Training Area Boss actually referred to the bosses outside the circle or in the wild.
In Aincrad, in addition to the floor boss that guarded the stairs leading to the next floor, there were all kinds of bosses.
For example, the mini boss that Rozen encountered in the first floor's labyrinth area would randomly appear in various places and was far more powerful than the average monster.
Outside the circle of each floor, at each key point of the floor, there would also be a mid-level boss called the "Training Area Boss".
This kind of mid-level boss was considered as the gatekeeper of the labyrinth area.
If they weren't defeated, then the players wouldn't be able to enter the labyrinth area. Even if they wanted to take a detour, the other places would usually be cliffs, rapids, or other inaccessible areas.
Therefore, if players wanted to enter the labyrinth area, find the room of the Floor Boss, defeat it, and advance to the next floor, they would have to defeat this kind of boss that was outside the circle.
Then, needless to say, there were also such Training Area Bosses on the 25th floor. Moreover, there were several of them at the same time, which caused the clearers to panic for a while.
It was probably because of that incident that the members of the guild were so cautious.
But …
"What are you afraid of?"
Rozen said lightly.
"Don't you still have me?"
This simple sentence immediately caused everyone present to stop the commotion.
Everyone looked at each other and then smiled.
"That's right!"
"Don't you still have the guild leader?"
"What are you afraid of!"
"As long as the guild leader is here, let alone the mid-level boss outside the circle, even the Floor Boss won't be a problem!"
"The 25th floor is so scary, but didn't the guild leader also maintain his unscathed record?"
"That's right!"
One by one, the members of Red Wings said the same thing, and the uneasiness and hesitation on their faces disappeared without a trace.
As long as Rozen was still there, there was still a glimmer of hope.
At least, so far, Rozen's unscathed record still hadn't been broken.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Rozen, the players might have given up on clearing the Floor.
Of course, Rozen was aware of his importance, but he didn't take it seriously.
Back in Chaldea, Rozen was regarded as the last hope to save humanity.
Compared to the life and death of the entire world, it wasn't strange for Rozen to be responsible for thousands of Players' lives in a game.
Therefore, Rozen just glanced around the bar and then asked one of the guild members.
"By the way, where did Kirito go?"
Hearing that, the guild member immediately replied.
"As for Kirito, it seems that he went to the lower floors to collect weapon materials."
Went to the lower floors to collect weapon materials?
"Speaking of which, I have indeed heard about this."
Rozen said to himself.
Due to the stimulation brought by the 25th floor's Floor Boss, Kirito also realized that his strength was not enough, and he recently upgraded the quality of his equipment in order to improve his strength.
"Let's see what he's doing now."
With that in mind, just when Rozen was about to send a message to Kirito, he received a message first.
The sender was none other than Kirito.
"Does this guy read minds from a distance?"
Rozen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then opened the message.
However, there was only one sentence in the message sent by Kirito.
A sentence that made Rozen's spirit soar.
"I found the same monster as Saichou on the 11th floor!"
