ơ... hai cái này phân chia khá rạch ròi chứ nhỉ, Area là Anti-Crimininal Code Effective Area, ở trong Area thì HP không thể tụt xuống. Còn Field đơn giản là khu vực ngoại thành nguy hiểm.

Tớ cứ dịch là Khu vực với Bãi vậy.

It's true that where we are at now, the central plaza of the main street area of the 59th floor was still within the «area». More accurately, it should be said to be the «Anti-Criminal Code Effective Area». Inside this area, players are definitely unable to hurt other players. Even if they used weapons to hack at each other, there would only be a purple system effect, and the other player's HP bar wouldn't drop by even one millimeter, with the various poison-causing items having no effect as well. Of course, theft of items and such is also impossible.

In other words, the area was just like what the term "Anti-Criminal" meant; with no way to carry out criminal acts directly. This is an absolute rule in this death game called «SAO», on the same level with the rule that «Once the HP becomes zero, it means death».
