Aincrad, the 35th Floor.
The main street here was a row of houses with white walls and red roofs, full of idyllic and rural atmosphere – Mirest.
In this town, almost every day, there were players active here.
The frontline was now the 55th floor. This floor had long since been cleared, but the top players weren't interested in anything other than the maze area, which was why the cleared floors had become the main activity area for the middle players.
However, the middle level players were different from the top players in the Clearers. There were very few players who really wanted to "clear the dungeon."
There were basically three reasons why the middle level players would take the risk.
One: To get the money needed for daily life, such as living in hotels and food.
Two: To get the minimum amount of experience needed to stay in the middle level.
Three: To get bored to death.
After all, this was a game world. No matter how afraid the players were of death, it would be worse than death if they were forced to stay in the Safe Zone. They couldn't stay in hotels or eat, and could only wander the streets with nothing to do.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening, or to put it simply, those who were extremely afraid of death and cowardly had stayed in the Town of Beginnings on the first floor. In other words, the other players had started to walk out of the town. In order to avoid starvation, sleep in the hotel beds, and earn a regular income, they had walked out of the Town of Beginnings, picked up their weapons, and fought outside the Town of Beginnings.
Of course, in order not to lose their precious lives, the players would still be fully prepared to the point that it would seem like they were overprepared.
In SAO's world, the main stage was the floating city of Aincrad, which had a total of 100 floors.
If it was a normal role-playing game, then the level of the player should be the same as the level of the player in the game.
For example, the 1st floor was suitable for level 1 Players, the 2nd floor was suitable for level 2 Players, and so on until the 100th floor, which should be the most suitable floor for level 100 Players.
In normal games, it should be this kind of simple and easy to understand setting, right?
But in SAO, it was different.
Considering the safety issue, the level must be about 10 levels higher than the current floor to be considered "not easy to die," which was the so-called safe level.
Because of this, the middle level players who were active on the 35th floor were at least level 45.
As for the 55th floor, only Level 65 was considered safe.
Therefore, most of the Clearers who belonged to the Clearers were around level 65. Only Rozen and Kirito, who were game maniacs, reached level 78 and level 82 respectively, which was quite incredible.
On this day, Rozen moved to the 35th floor and saw the middle-level players coming and going.
"It really feels like an adventurer from another world."
Rozen couldn't help but lament when he saw the players in all kinds of equipment chatting and laughing as they walked past him.
Looking carefully, although Rozen had come to the 35th floor, there was no sign of Saichou or Hua Die beside him.
That was only natural.
Nowadays, the Rainbow Butterflies had completely become Rozen's characteristic. As long as people saw the two Rainbow Butterflies, even if they didn't know Rozen himself, they would immediately recognize Rozen's identity.
Therefore, when Rozen came to the lower floor where there were many Players, he had to put his Tamed Monsters into the crystal item. Otherwise, it would definitely cause a commotion.
"Who told Rainbow Butterflies to be so difficult to tame, and there hasn't been a second tamed monster so far?"
There were only seven Super Rare Tamed Monsters in the entire server, let alone taming one, even encountering one was a different matter.
But …
"Forget about Rainbow Butterflies, there are still other Tamed Monsters."
After nearly a year, the Players finally realized that the real role of Tamed Monsters was to support, not to fight directly. At the same time, Tamed Monsters weren't just monsters, but virtual creatures with their own thoughts. If they weren't treated well, they would die in battle, escape, or even attack.
As a result, the Players who tamed Tamed Monsters began to appear one after another, and they were given a common title — Beast Tamer.
However, compared to Rozen, the ability of these Beast Tamers was like heaven and earth. As a result, among the hundreds of Clearers, none of them was a Beast Tamer.
"I wonder when there will be a Beast Tamer in the Clearers?"
Rozen thought about these things while walking toward a building.
It was a two-story building on the right side of the road, which was larger than the other buildings.
This building was an inn operated by an NPC.
"It should be here, right?"
Rozen raised his head and looked at the building in front of him.
According to Argo's information, the Orange Guild targeted by Rozen was recently active on the 35th floor.
"Since they are active on this floor, there should be a target here."
That's what Rozen thought.
If it were other Players, they would definitely think that the Orange Guild was ambushing other Players outside the Safe Zone. But in fact, the Orange Guild was not only good at ambushing, but also sneaking.
"First, send Green Name members to the Safe Zone, investigate the information, find a rich team, and then find a way to lure them out of the Safe Zone, and then ambush them. This is the Orange Guild's usual method."
If it was just a simple ambush, who knows when they would be able to ambush a rich team?
Therefore, this was the best way to commit a crime.
That was also the reason why Rozen came to this place.
It was said that there was a rather famous player who had been staying in this inn called "Wind Direction Chicken Pavilion" recently. He was welcomed and sought after by many players, causing many teams of players to invite him to join them.
"In that case, this should be the easiest place to find the Orange Guild member, right?"
That was the reason why Rozen came to this place.
So, Rozen reached out his hand, pushed the door of the hotel in front of him, and walked in.
As soon as he entered the hotel, some lively scene appeared.
Many Players appeared in the hotel, laughing and chatting while eating a variety of dishes.
"If it's at the frontline, it's impossible to see this scene in the day, right?"
If it was at the frontline, the top Players would sneak into the training area or the maze area during the day, and only come back at night. Even the Players who trained at night would hide in the hotel during the day, and they would not move around outside. Therefore, the lively atmosphere could only be seen at night, and because there were fewer Players at the frontline, no matter how lively it was, it would not be that lively. If it were not for the NPCs operating in the town, perhaps it would be considered very quiet.
Only in the middle and lower levels of the Players would not work so hard. As long as they earned enough money to live, they would spend it extravagantly in the town until they ran out of money.
"Then, where is the rumored popular Player?"
Rozen looked around.
In the next moment, Rozen discovered it.
In a corner of the Wind Direction Chicken Pavilion, many players were gathered together, surrounding a single player.
Looking at this scene, and then looking at the Player, Rozen raised an eyebrow, and then said in surprise and delight.
