The next day, early in the morning.

Ling Yun was playing Tai Chi in the courtyard when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps approaching here.

"It's so early, Asuna!" Ling Yun turned his head and saw Asuna walking in his direction.

"Early? Is it still early? Frowning slightly, he looked at the time displayed on the virtual panel in front of him, 9:00.

"It's nothing, they shouldn't have gotten up at this time." Ling Yun said as he punched, "After all, I didn't sleep so late last night. ”

"What kind of punch are you fighting, it looks slow, and it doesn't seem to have any power!" Asuna asked, confused.

"Tai Chi!"

"Chinese Kung Fu, Tai Chi? No, it's a little different from the Tai Chi I've seen! Asuna shook her head.

"It's really a little different, my Tai Chi is self-created!" Ling Yun made a final move, let out a long breath, and a white air arrow spat out of his mouth, flying out of a meter away before dissipating.

Asuna, who was beside him, couldn't help but widen her eyes as she watched this scene, but Asuna suddenly remembered that this was in the game world, and it was not an incomprehensible thing for this to happen, so she swallowed the words on her lips.

"Have you taken a leave of absence from Heathcliff?" In the living room, Ling Yun raised the cup in his hand and took a sip of tea and asked.

Asuna nodded slightly. Since she said yesterday that she would come, she will definitely come.

"The head of the group agreed to let me take a break for a while, and he said that I was basically busy with things in the guild during this time, and it was good to take a break. During this time, he will lead the team to raid the strategy. However, I had to go back before I could conquer the 50th floor boss. ”

"Oh? It seems that your regiment commander is still good to you, the deputy regiment leader! Ling Yun was a little noncommittal.

After all, Heathcliff's true identity, but Akihiko Kayaba, who developed this world, has now had such a big change in the game he developed, and it is estimated that he is also confused. In this case, it is not surprising that he will take the initiative to lead the team to attack in order to find the truth about the changes in this world.

However, now is not the time to think about such inconsequential things, now that Asuna has arrived, taking her out to have fun and letting her experience the reality of this world is the most important thing!

After leaving an email for Luo Yexi and the others, who were still sleeping, Ling Yun left his garden with Asuna and came to the small lake outside the garden.

"Isn't this place by the lake? What are you bringing me here for? Asuna looked at Lingyun with some confusion.

Looking at Ling Yun who was wandering around the lake with herself, Asuna asked with some confusion. Under the illumination of his eyes, Ling Yun's body seemed to be covered with a layer of golden armor, which made Asuna a little fascinated.

"Fishing, of course! It's rare to have such good weather, and going fishing at the lake is a great way to pass the time! Ling Yun said with a smile. Moreover, during this time period, Mr. Nishida should also be fishing there. ”

"Mr. Nishida?" Asuna was a little puzzled, a little puzzled why Ling Yun suddenly mentioned such a person.

"That's right, it's Mr. Nishida, a very interesting old man I met by chance, who lives in an NPC village not far from here. In this world, he is a fisherman, and in real life, he is the head of the security department in a company called the Toto High-speed Line. Because I often meet him here, I can be regarded as an old acquaintance. ”

"Dongdu High-speed Line, isn't that the company responsible for the network security of this game?"

Ling Yun nodded slightly: "That's right, it's just that now he's just an ordinary fisherman." ”

"An ordinary fisherman?" Asuna was a little curious about this man for a moment.

"We're here!" Ling Yun stopped, and in front of them, a wooden dock appeared.

On the pier, there was already a middle-aged man with a bald head and a kind face who was fishing.

"Mr. Nishida, you look good today!" Ling Yun greeted the man with a smile.

"Ah, it's little brother Lingyun! Long time no see. Mr. Nishida turned his head, saw Ling Yun, and smiled.

"Hey, is this your girlfriend?" Mr. Nishida's gaze fell on Asuna.

Hearing Mr. Nishida's words, Asuna glanced at Ling Yun beside her, and a red cloud rose on her face.

"Mr. Nishida misunderstood." A smile appeared on Ling Yun's face, "This is Asuna, my friend. ”

"Aha, it's a friend! It seems that I have made a mistake again, old man. Mr. Nishida smiled, "But little brother Lingyun, your womanhood really makes me envious of the old man, and I am surrounded by such beautiful and outstanding girls!" ”

"Please take care of us when we meet for the first time!" Asuna bowed to Mr. Nishida with some restraint.

"Hello." Mr. Nishida smiled at Asuna.

Suddenly, his rod shook violently, and Mr. Nishida's face turned grim, and he grabbed the rod and flicked it regularly, and then lifted it upwards, and a large fish jumped out of the water.

"It's caught, it's a big fish!" Looking at the big fish in Mr. Nishida's hand, Asuna said with some amazement.

"I was able to catch such a big fish here, thanks to the little brother Lingyun. You know, in the past, there was an owner in this lake, and it was a vicious big guy. The person who was fishing here with me at that time almost became that guy's snack, but fortunately, Little Brother Lingyun passed by here at that time and killed the fish king, otherwise you wouldn't have seen me! Mr. Nishida said with a smile.

"And this?" Asuna looked at Ling Yun beside her with some curiosity.

Ling Yun smiled and scratched the back of his head: "It's nothing, it's just a hand." ”

Putting the fish in his hand into the package, Mr. Nishida smiled and said to Ling Yun: "Today, thanks to your blessing, little brother, I caught such a big fish." Go to my place to eat at noon, it just so happens that An Fu has been complaining that he has not seen high-grade ingredients during this time, just let him deal with this big fish. Don't say no! ”

Faced with Mr. Nishida's warm invitation, Ling Yun and Asuna glanced at each other and did not refuse.

After Mr. Nishida had caught a few more big fish from the lake, the group of three walked forward for some distance to a small village.

After entering the small village, some of the older players who live here also surround them. Mr. Nishida said that Anfu is a fat man who looks very kind. When he heard Mr. Nishida say that he was going to stay in Lingyun for dinner at noon, there was a hint of joy on his face, and he swore that he would show his best cooking skills to entertain them.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the players around her, Asuna had some complications in her eyes: "I can't imagine that there are still people living like this in this world......"

"So I said, why do you have to push yourself so hard?" Ling Yun said softly, "Sooner or later, this world will be raided, and sooner or later we will go back to the real world. When the time comes, the world will definitely cease to operate. In that case, why don't you seize the time you have now and enjoy life in this world? ”

Looking at Ling Yun, who was even more beautiful than herself in the sun, Asuna suddenly felt that something seemed to be touched in her heart, and she jumped fast all of a sudden. At the same time, in her heart, something seemed to collapse in an instant, and an inexplicable power began to circulate in her body, and even the long sword with her waist flashed a burst of white light.

"Sa, let's go somewhere else!" Asuna suddenly grabbed Ling Yun's hand and smiled brightly at him.

Looking at Asuna's smile, Ling Yun lost his mind for a moment, and then was pulled forward by Asuna.

However, neither of them noticed that behind a large tree behind them, a small head was quietly sticking out, and its big black and shiny eyes were staring at them motionlessly.

Suddenly, there was a noise around him, and the little head suddenly retracted behind the tree. A player walks over curiously, only to find that there is nothing here.

"Was I dazzled just now?" The player looks at the empty grass behind the tree and scratches his head in confusion.
