On this day, there were no clouds, and only the sun was bright in the clear blue sky.

In order to earn more expenses, Xia Ri is looking for a suitable part-time job online, although her hacking skills are good, but today's computer industry is on the verge of obsolescence, the demand for programming is completely incomparable with a few years ago, and the occasional job is considered lucky, so it cannot be regarded as a stable source of income.

The reason why she entered SAO is not because of interest, but simply for money, with her intelligence ability, if SAO operates normally like ALO, she is confident that she will make a lot of money, because of the impact of the SAO incident, she does not want to enter ALO again, and ALO has been in operation for two months, and as a latecomer, she has no advantage.

After looking for a while, Summer still didn't find a suitable part-time job, rubbed his sour eyes, leaned heavily on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

At present, the body function has not fully recovered, and I feel sore and uncomfortable in my eyes after staring at the computer screen for a while.

"Summer, you're not so vulnerable."

Summer opened his eyes, leaned forward, continued to browse the job search website, has not been able to find a suitable job, simply closed the website, from the search engine to find the hot job search network, at this time, the search engine popped up a news window.

"The son of the Shenwu family announced his death this morning." Xia Ri glanced at it casually, and when he saw the name of the so-called Shenwu family's son, his eyes suddenly trembled.

"Shenwu soaring into the sky? Soaring into the sky...? Impossible. ”

Summer muttered to herself, clicked on the news, and a photo suddenly jumped into view, and below was specific information.

Crash!

Summer suddenly got up, and the movement was so violent that the back chair slid straight back for some distance before falling heavily to the floor.

She looked at the photo in despair, still didn't want to believe it, as if she suddenly remembered something, she picked up the mobile phone on the table and dialed the number of Lianggong Hunchun directly.

After connecting, she just asked: "Lianggong Hunchun, is the person who paid me back the money from the Shenwu family?" ”

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then, "So what?" ”

Smack.

The red flip phone fell directly to the floor, and the communication hung up.

"Ha Lu Ha, Ha Lu Ha."

Summer looked up and smiled desolately.

"Why do you want to do this to me? For what?! ”

Slowly kneeling on the ground, she cried, crying painfully, after a few years, in her heart, her world finally entered a person, and it also gave her something to look forward to.

But now, the expectation is ruthlessly torn apart...

Since her father's death, this is the third time she has cried, once because of her parents and twice because of the sky.

It's not just Natsuga who gets the news, but Asuna and Kazuto Kiritani, who also learn about it through the news.

Tomorrow's white five fingers covered the smiling face of the newspaper and muttered, "You lied and will never meet again." ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

When the consciousness awakens, it is in the boundless darkness, there is no light, no sound, and even the movement of the body is not felt, and the darkness can be seen, but there is no touch of incitement up and down the eyelids, as if only consciousness can remain in this darkness that can swallow everything.

Unable to speak, unable to make movements, he could only stop in place stupidly, thinking about whether the loading of consciousness had been successful, or whether this boundless darkness was the world after death.

Bite...

It was as if the sound of a drop of water falling on the surface of the water was clearly transmitted to Xiangkong's consciousness.

This is...

Before he could rejoice, a burst of intense white light suddenly tore through the boundless darkness, drowning the consciousness body in the sky like a tide.

When he opened his eyes again, Xiangkong found himself in an unknown forest, and in front of him, a palm-sized elf stopped in mid-air with its wings flapped, and was quietly watching him at the moment.

"Yui?" Xiangkong looked at the miniature version of Yui and asked.

Yui nodded, flew to Xiangkong's shoulder, sat down naturally, and said flatly, "Your consciousness was almost annihilated in the turbulence of data. ”

"You saved me?" Xiangkong smiled bitterly, and looked sideways at Yui sitting on his shoulder, what could he do in the boundless darkness.

Yui nodded, a flowing glint flashing in her eyes, she was searching for information about this world.

Xiangkong could sense Yui's thoughts, and knew that she was searching for information, so he didn't bother her, but checked his body, and then he realized that there was a very uncomfortable strange feeling behind him, and when he turned his head to look, it was a pair of black wings, which were different from the elf wings he had seen in the picture, these wings were as black as ink, without patterns, and not as transparent as dragonfly wings.

"What's going on?"

Xiangkong frowned, he glanced at the health bar displayed in the field of vision, and preliminarily determined that he was loaded into ALO as a player, but the character's race seemed to be inconsistent with ALO's setting.

Doubts took root, he tried to open the system menu, but no matter what method was used, he couldn't open the player's system menu, and looked sideways at Yui, maybe only Yui could give him the answer, just wait.

After a while, Yui's shining eyes returned to normal, and he said calmly: "You're not a player, so there's no system menu, you're not an NPC, so you have an HP bar, and you use the information of the real world, after screening, there is a term that is very suitable to describe you at this moment." ”

"What noun?" Xiangkong remained puzzled, but asked curiously.

"Shemales." Yui looked away and looked at the green forest around her, a smile flashing across her eyes.

"That's sad news." The corners of Xiangkong's mouth twitched, and the whole person was not good.

"So, will I die when my HP goes to zero?" Xiangkong asked the question that he cared about the most.

Yui hesitated for a moment before saying, "The result of the calculation is that you will die, and when your HP reaches zero, your consciousness will also completely dissipate." ”

"Are you sure the calculation is correct?" Shoku glanced at her, and he could vaguely sense Yui's hesitation.

In the same way, Yui can also sense the peace in Shoku's heart.

Yui breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "The deviation is 20 percent, but I don't want you to take chances." ”

Xiangkong smiled slightly, looking at Yui seriously, he felt that Yui had changed a lot, what was the reason for it?

"Because I'm in sync with your consciousness, I'm no longer thinking of myself as an ordinary AI program." Yui looked straight ahead, her tone flat.

"How—" Xiangkong's eyes widened suddenly, he was sure that the question was only in his heart, not out of his mouth.

Yui's face suddenly showed a hint of playfulness, but she quickly returned to calm, and it seemed that she still couldn't let go, or she hadn't fully adapted to it.

"It's a pity that I can feel your emotions and thoughts in my heart."

"Ahh

Xiangkong screamed, "This is too unfair, I can only vaguely perceive your thoughts." ”

"You just accept your fate." The corners of Yui's mouth curved slightly, and her wings flew off her shoulders and danced in mid-air, flashing a string of stars behind her.

The psychology of flying is still unbalanced, but soon I was attracted by the flying Yui, one of the biggest highlights of the ALO game is flying, how many people's childhood dream is not to be able to be like birds, free to soar in the sky?

That feeling is fundamentally different from gliding, and the imaginary world may have been born to fulfill a dream that was almost forgotten.

Then, Xiangkong's attention was attracted by the pair of pitch-black wings behind him, he also wanted to fly, and controlled the wings with his mind, and after a few gentle instigations, he felt a stream of air supporting himself up, and under the excitement, he couldn't help but fanning the wings as fast as possible.

"Huh?!"

Xiangkong only felt that the things in front of him became blurred, and the whole person was like a rocket rising into the sky, and a second later, a terrible scream broke out in the sky, and the sound was so loud that the whole forest was lively.

A few minutes later, Yui sat on the trunk of a large tree, speechless as she watched as she kept going up and down.

Unlike players, Xiangkong's pair of wings are like his limbs, which can be driven at will at the slightest movement, making it easier to learn and more advantageous than ALO players who have only been in the game for two months.

The initial mastery of the sky is like a child who has been given a toy, and he has a lot of fun.
