Chapter 181 The truth, the secret that strengthens the fraud
  Although failure to strengthen will not cause the weapon to break, if the weapon that has reached the upper limit of strengthening is further strengthened, the same effect can be achieved.

Generally speaking, weapons that have reached the upper limit of enhancement, in addition to those cases where all enhancements are successful, there are also weapons like the player I met in [Urubas]. After four successful enhancements and four failures, the enhancement level returned to zero and became A garbage weapon.

Junk weapons like that are very cheap to recycle.

Therefore, the general principle gradually became clear, that is, during the strengthening process, junk weapons of the same type are quickly swapped with weapons that really need to be strengthened, and then the weapons that have reached the upper limit of strengthening are strengthened, causing the weapon to break. Effect.

At this time, Asuna asked:

"But the operation of switching weapons is quite troublesome. How can we do it in an instant without being noticed?"

的确，目前他们想要切换装备的话一共需要1、打开系统视窗2、触碰装备栏中的武器3、选择装备更变选项4、选中想要更变的装备5、点击确认按钮这样漫长的过程。

No matter how fast a person's hands are and how skilled his skills are, it is impossible to complete all this in an instant without being noticed.

Fujimaru Ritsuka said:

"If you want to switch weapons quickly, I remember that there is a universal weapon derivative skill called [Quick Switch] that can do it."

Each skill will increase proficiency when used. After reaching a certain proficiency, different derived skills will be unlocked and selected.

Because the weapons they hold occupy a skill grid, they also have a proficiency system. After increasing their proficiency, they can not only unlock stronger sword skills, but also unlock and select corresponding derivative skills.

For example, [sword skill cooling time is shortened], [knowing hit rate is increased], etc., and [quick switching] is also one of the options that can be unlocked in the early stage of all weapons.

After selecting quick switching, the system window will have an additional shortcut key. You only need to set the target weapon for switching in advance. Then there are only two steps left to switch weapons: 1. Open the system window 2. Click the shortcut key.

The weapon that is set to be switched can be carried out openly during the transaction, and after the weapon switching is simplified to only two steps, it becomes possible to complete it instantly without being discovered during the strengthening process.

Because the same weapon is being switched, the weapon will only appear to flicker slightly when switching quickly. Unless you are concentrating on the weapon, it is basically impossible to notice it.

However, because during the strengthening process, Nezha's right hand will continue to move, and the light emitted by the furnace nearby will also attract the player's attention, so almost no one will notice the subtle movements of his left hand.

"Could this guy be a magician in real life?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh.

Misdirection, a common application in magic shows, involves drawing the audience's attention to a more obvious act, thus masking a crucial small action occurring elsewhere.

Some excellent magicians will be diverted by the other party unknowingly even if you know that there is misguidance.

"Although I don't know if he is a magician, what is certain is that this guy is probably the first fraudster in SAO."

Kirito marveled at the other person's genius idea, but also felt sorry for it.

At this point, the deceptive methods of Blacksmith Nezha and [Legendary Hero] have been basically replicated by them.

First, purchase junk weapons that have been enhanced to the upper limit at a low price. After identifying the target of fraud, set the weapon to be switched while making the transaction. Then quickly swap the weapon during the enhancement process, and finally sell the swapped weapon at a high price. , thereby obtaining a large amount of resources to strengthen itself.

"So, after you understand the situation, what are you going to do next?"

"Although it's a little disappointing that there isn't the special mission I was looking forward to, but this is still important information that can make people a lot of money, right?"

Argo looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a smile, as if he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

Asuna said a little angrily:

"Of course we must expose them and let them compensate and apologize to the players who were deceived. In any case, this behavior is too much!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was lost in thought.

In this entire fraud incident, there are actually several doubts -

For example, why don’t the other members of [Legendary Brave] know that Nezha’s name is pronounced Nezha? Why does Nezha, a production player, have weapon proficiency?

But now
  "Sure enough, let's go meet them first, right?" Fujimaru Ritsuka made a decision, then looked at Argo and said:
  "Do you know where the [Legendary Brave] players are now?"

Argo snapped his fingers and said with a smile:
  "of course."
-
  After finishing his business for the day, Nezha walked to a remote B&B in Talan Village, carrying a rolled-up stall rug and hanging his head as if he was very tired.

Standing in front of the door of the B&B, for some reason he paused for more than ten seconds before hesitantly opening the door and walking in.

".I'm back."

"Welcome back!"

"Niezi, you have worked hard today!"

The other five warrior members of the [Legendary Brave] wearing armor and leather had already been waiting for him in the room. The next moment they saw his figure, his words were instantly drowned out by the sudden cheers and clapping.

At this time, one of the companions asked expectantly:

"Nezha, how is business today?"

"Ah, well, not bad. Twelve weapons were sold and there were many requests for enhancements and repairs."

"Wow - record breaking!"

“It’s another big profit today!”

"Haha, it looks like we have to collect ingots again!"

The companions immediately cheered, and then there was a loud clap of hands again.

However, Nezha lowered his head deeply. After the noisy voice gradually weakened, his words full of hesitation and hesitation came out again.

".However, it is really dangerous to continue."

Nezha's words instantly cooled down the lively atmosphere in the room. After a moment of silence, someone comforted him and said, as if encouraging:
  "It doesn't matter, it must be okay."

"The current news is not that serious at all, and the main event is next!"

"Soon we can catch up and overtake those guys in front of us!"

"But."

Nezha wanted to say something more, but at this moment, a knock on the door suddenly interrupted his speech.

The atmosphere in the room fell into silence again at this moment.

Several people looked at each other, and their expressions became wary. Among them, Orlando, as the captain, stood up, slowly walked to the door and opened it.

"Who?"

Just when he was about to ask, the moment the door opened and he saw two lovely girls with delicate faces standing outside, he suddenly fell into a trance and thought he had seen real elves.

So he was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to speak.

While feeling amazed in his heart, he already recognized who the person in front of him was.

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the other party and smiled:
  "Hi, my name is [Ritsuka]. Are you the [Legendary Hero]?"

"I wish I could talk to you."

　Grandma's drops, I catch a cold when the temperature drops, and I catch a cold when the temperature rises. I'm numb.
