Quite a realistic problem.
After Smiling Coffin was annihilated, SAO once again ushered in a period of peace.
Rozen also returned to the Clearers, and since then, he devoted himself to leading and commanding the Clearers.
As Rozen expected, even if Divine Dragon Alliance was forcibly disbanded, which greatly reduced the Clearers' combat power, it wasn't to the point where they needed to replenish their combat power.
With the current combat power of the Clearers, Rozen successfully broke through the 55th Floor in just a few days, and in the next month, they broke through the 56th Floor, 57th Floor, 58th Floor, and 59th Floor one after another. Only after they reached the 60th Floor did the Clearers' Raid progress was delayed again.
There was nothing they could do about it.
In the floating city called Aincrad, every Floor would increase the difficulty by a Small Level, every 10 Floors would increase the difficulty by a Medium Level, and every 25 Floors would increase the difficulty by a Large Level.
In that case, after reaching the 60th Floor, the Clearers naturally ushered in an increase in difficulty, which naturally slowed down the Clearers' progress.
That being said, compared to the large increase in difficulty every 25 Floors, the current situation was still relatively optimistic.
At least on the 25th and 50th Floor, Rozen would need to personally lead the Clearers to the labyrinth area. But now, even if the difficulty level has increased, the Clearers should still be able to break through the labyrinth with the help of the Clearers, right?
Therefore, Rozen only attended the strategy meeting for the Field Boss and said a few words. The rest of the strategy matters were left to the major guilds and individual players to solve.
As for Rozen himself …
"What should I do?"
In a village on the 60th Floor, Rozen was sitting on a boulder in the grassland outside the village with a contemplative look on his face.
"Goo!"
"Woo!"
Saichou and Hanachou were playing in the grassland in front of him, chasing each other for a while, and hovering in the air for a while.
If it were any other time, Rozen would've already sneaked into the most efficient Grinding Area to gain Exp.
Not to mention now, Rozen has reached level 87 and was close to level 88. Saichou and Hanachou's levels were also about to level up. While the Clearers were planning to raid the Field Boss, they should seize the time to level up.
But today, Rozen had to stop.
The reason was simple.
Taking a closer look, Rozen was holding a sword in his hand and looking at it carefully.
That was Rozen's current main weapon.
But …
"I've reached the limit of enhancement, but its performance can't keep up."
Rozen was worried about this matter.
Now, the Players have left the town and began to explore this world.
As a result, in addition to specializing in combat, the number of Players who specialized in production also began to increase.
At this point in time, many Master Craftsmen had emerged from the various classes. As a result, the various equipment and items that were crafted by professional Craftsmen had begun to surpass those sold by NPCs. Even the items dropped by the frontlines were gradually falling behind the items crafted by the players. This had turned the world into the players' home ground.
Of course, some Boss-tier monsters would occasionally drop items of higher quality that the highest level of production class players could produce.
For example, Kirito's Elucidator was one of them, which was known as a Magic Sword Drop.
Unfortunately, there were very few people who had such luck.
Kirito's Elucidator was a magic sword dropped by a Floor Boss on the 50th Floor, and Floor Bosses were one-of-a-kind monsters. Once they were defeated, they would not appear again. Even the Field Boss was the same. Only a very small number of Field Bosses would appear randomly, so how could Kirito be so lucky as to get another one?
At least, Rozen didn't have that kind of luck.
Therefore, as the floors were getting higher and higher, Rozen's main weapon couldn't keep up with the demand.
That was something that never happened in the past.
Rozen has been relying on Eye of the Mind's sharpness and the strength of his Tamed Monsters to fight against all kinds of monsters. He often snatched LA rewards from Boss Monsters, and he even unearthed some Hidden Quests. For a long time, Rozen had obtained a variety of powerful weapons. So far, he had never encountered a situation where his weapon couldn't keep up with his strength.
But it was different now.
Now, the Production Players' Skill Proficiency had increased, and there were many Master Players who had learned all of their skills. The equipment on the Clearers' Top Players began to change, and gradually became better than the dropped items and quest items.
On the other hand, Rozen's equipment, which had always been better than the others, was now inferior to the rest of the Players because of the quality of his equipment.
Although he wasn't at the bottom yet, sooner or later, Rozen would be overtaken by the rest of the Clearers.
In view of that, Rozen was now faced with a choice.
That was, like the rest of the Players, he must start to entrust the Production Players to make equipment for him.
And that naturally meant that Rozen would need to spend more time on it, and he couldn't just go to the Grinding Area like before.
"This is really troublesome …"
Rozen sighed because of this.
It wasn't just because of the weapon.
"If the weapon can't keep up with me, then the Tamed Monsters can't keep up with me, right?"
Rozen looked at Saichou and Hanachou who were playing on the grassland.
Heathcliff said that Tamed Monsters had their limits, and Rozen just wanted to develop their potential in advance so that they could be effective against Floor Bosses.
But as the floors gradually increased, Saichou and Hanachou would gradually grow, and eventually, they would reach their limits, and their skills wouldn't be effective against Floor Bosses.
How long will it be before that day comes?
Rozen didn't know.
Rozen only knew that he had to think of a way to deal with the situation before it rains.
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore."
Rozen lay down and looked at the sky with his arms and legs spread out.
At this time …
"I didn't expect you to hide in this place and slack off."
As a rather cold voice approached, Rozen slightly raised his eyes.
However, Rozen didn't look at the person.
Even if he didn't look, Rozen knew who it was.
There was only one person who would talk to him in that tone.
"What? Is our "Flash" Yasna -sama here to teach me a lesson again? "
Rozen said impatiently.
