"Great God! The strategy team has already conquered the 28th floor! Keita shouted excitedly with the newspaper in his hand.

"I said, can you not read the newspaper when you are fighting! What to do in case of danger! Xu Qingsheng solved the monster in front of him and said to Qitai helplessly.

"It's okay~" Keita waved his hand indifferently, and after a few days of contact, everyone also knew that Kirito was a black-clothed swordsman, and he was also a very powerful player in the strategy group.

Coupled with Xu Qingsheng, a glittering slaughterer, in Qitai's opinion, the monsters in the maze area are not a threat to these two at all!

"Great God, you really attacked the 28th floor! It's really amazing! Keita decisively brought the topic back to the question of strategy.

"It's not us, it's someone else!" Xu Qingsheng sometimes wonders why Qitai looks more stable, but it turns out that he is an Erha attribute inside?

Obviously, I and Kirito have been leveling up with everyone these days.,When did you go to attack the boss?

"What does the newspaper say?"

Speaking of newspapers, they are issued by some players who gather intelligence. The price is low, and the purpose is to share some information with all players, and the progress of the strategy group is the most important thing for players.

"The Raiders team successfully killed the 28th floor guard boss, and the shining Asuna shined, and she got a reward for killing the boss!" Keita read the information from the newspaper.

"Asuna? It's really getting stronger. When Kirito heard Keita's words, he couldn't help but sigh.

When the three of them first teamed up, Xu Qingsheng and Asuna were still novices, better than most players, but they were still very immature. Now, the two of them are standing on the same level as him.

There is no jealousy, the three of them will occasionally contact, do tasks together, etc., in short, they see each other's efforts, so they don't envy others to become stronger, only work harder to become stronger.

"When can we also participate in the raiders!" Keita was a little envious.

"Yes, when can the great god also take us to join the strategy group?"

When I first left the town of start, I delayed the leveling time because I took care of the only female player in the team, Xing, and several of them didn't have too strong game talents, so their strength has not been strong, and naturally they didn't have the intention of joining the strategy group.

But now it's different, after meeting Xu Qingsheng, their strength has been greatly improved. And after the establishment of the union, Kirito also joined, and this promotion was even faster.

"Raiders?" Xu Qingsheng and Kirito glanced at each other, and tacitly came to the same conclusion-

"No problem! The boss strategy event on the next floor will take you with you! Xu Qingsheng felt that Qitai's strength was no longer weaker than that of ordinary players in the strategy group, and with the care of himself and Kirito, it was not impossible for the strategy boss to be taken care of.

"Yay!"

"Thank you, Great God!"

"Thank you, Kirito-kun!"

......

Everyone cheered, but only Xing was alone, standing quietly in the distance and not speaking.

"Then let's go here today, prepare well, go to the 29th floor tomorrow, get in touch with high-level monsters, and prepare for the strategy boss!"

Everyone agreed.

Night.

Everyone returned to the hotel to rest, and Xu Qingsheng was the only one preparing the future plan.

Yes, the strategy is not something that can be done if you want to, he has to make Qitai and them adapt to the rhythm of the strategy boss. After all, there are accidents in everything, and what Xu Qingsheng can do is to be prepared for accidents before they happen.

Xu Qingsheng, who had made a plan, was about to go back to rest, but suddenly saw Xing walking out of the hotel quietly.

The curious Xu Qingsheng quietly followed behind.

Fortunately, he didn't go too far, and he came to the uninhabited square alone, sat down, and looked at the sky in a daze.

"How did you get out alone?"

Fortunately, he was startled by the person who suddenly sat down next to him, and he was relieved after seeing that it was Xu Qingsheng.

"It's just a little overwhelming." Fortunately, I lowered my head, and my mood was very low.

Xu Qingsheng thought that it seemed to be a similar scene in the original book, Yuki still felt lost and scared about the future, while Kirito comforted Yuki and helped her build confidence.

However, Xu Qingsheng knew that in the original book, Xing did not become stronger as she said, until the black cat was wiped out on a moonlit night, and this girl in this world was still full of fear, anxiety and confusion.

What a distressing girl! Xu Qingsheng thought silently, this time, it must not be like that.

"Are you afraid, this world where you will die if you are not careful?" Xu Qingsheng tried his best to make his tone appear gentle, and asked.

"Huh? How could it be, there is obviously a great god and Kirito-kun....... Everyone is also trying to become stronger...... "Fortunately, it seems to be a panicked defender who has guessed what is on his mind."

"It's okay, it's normal to feel scared." Seeing Xing's appearance, Xu Qingsheng was even more distressed.

"I'm scared too!" Xu Qingsheng looked up at the sky and said something that shocked Xing.

"I'm afraid that one day I'll accidentally die when I attack the boss, and I'm afraid that I will suddenly hear the news that my friend is dead."

Xu Qingsheng paused and continued: "But it is precisely because of fear that I have tried my best to become stronger, so strong that the boss can't kill me, strong enough to protect my friends, and no longer let anyone die in this world." As he spoke, Xu Qingsheng and Xing looked at each other, their eyes full of sincerity.

Fortunately, facing Xu Qingsheng's gaze, his little face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and he quickly turned his head and didn't dare to look at it again.

"So, it's not a shame to be afraid, everybody is scared in this world where they're going to die at any time. But since he picked up the sword in his hand and chose to fight, he was afraid that this emotion would only become the driving force to become stronger. ”

Xu Qingsheng put his hands on Xing's shoulders, turned Xing around, looked at him, and then said seriously: "It's because of fear that I have to work hard to become stronger and protect those important companions, isn't it?" ”

"Hmm......" Xing's face was already as red as an apple, and he didn't dare to look at Xu Qingsheng again.

I have to say that Xu Qingsheng, who is serious, is really charming.

"So, are you willing to overcome your fears and work hard to become stronger?" Xu Qingsheng said and stood up.

"Strong enough to fight alongside me, to protect me when I can't do it, are you willing?"

"I do!" Xing raised his head, looked at Xu Qingsheng, and said firmly.

Hearing Xing's answer, Xu Qingsheng suddenly smiled. The smile is very warm.

"Then work hard and hope that day will come soon."

Definitely! Yuki clenched his fists and answered firmly in his heart.
