"Thank you! Thank you! After the three of them used Chu Yue's blood recovery potion, the man thanked Chu Yue.

But......

Bad...... Chu Yue said in her heart.

Chu Yue could see that the three people had signs of poisoning under their blood bars, which meant that all three of them had been poisoned by the poisonous blood bat.

However, the number of layers of poison can only be seen by the poisoned person, not by others.

And the men and women among these three people, their blood volume has already bottomed out, and the slow recovery with ordinary recovery potions may only slow down the decline in blood volume, and at this time, it is necessary to use instant blood recovery potions.

However, now that the game has just been in public beta, the instant blood recovery potion sold in the store is not only expensive, but also has a lot of medicine CDs, even Chu Yue, who only brought three bottles of instant blood recovery medicine when he went out to inspect this time.

After killing a few poisonous blood bats in seconds, Chu Yue looked at the blood volume of these three people again.

Less than just now!

These three people had already used the medicine they had given them just now, but their blood volume had not recovered, naturally because of the poison of many layers of poisonous blood bats on their bodies.

Because his own monster killing efficiency was the highest, Chu Yue directly threw the three vials of instant blood recovery elixir directly on the ground.

"This is an instant blood recovery potion, I only have three bottles, you can use it yourself!" After Chu Yue finished speaking, she once again slaughtered towards the Poisonous Blood Bat Group.

The three of them all said thank you to Chu Yue again, and then one of them picked up a bottle of potion and drank it.

Chu Yue noticed that the blood volume of the three people had recovered half of it in an instant, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then stopped paying attention to these three people and concentrated on killing monsters.

Although the poisonous blood bat group is dangerous, Chu Yue's level is not low, and his skills are good, until the last poisonous blood bat here is cleared, Chu Yue's first layer of poison has not hit.

"Okay, that's amazing...... the little girl of the three couldn't help but say.

"Sure enough, it's a young man......" the man said helplessly.

"Whew...... It's okay. Chu Yue withdrew her weapon and turned back to the three of them.

However, as soon as she turned around, Chu Yue was stunned.

Because, Chu Yue found that the blood volume of these three people had turned red again, and it was still declining!

"What's going on?! How many layers of poison do you have?! Chu Yue hurriedly asked, while taking out the ordinary recovery potion again, and ran to the three of them, ready to use it for the three of them.

But......

"Useless ......" The man seemed to have guessed this ending a long time ago, held Chu Yue's hand, and stopped Chu Yue.

"What?! Do you want to die?! Chu Yue said immediately.

"When I used up your instant recovery potion, I calculated that this time, Lisa and I were really going to ......end the game," the man said.

"Del......" Lisa called out the man's name, lay into the man's arms, and began to cry.

"It's all my fault......" Del hugged Lisa as well, kissed her on the forehead, and then smiled happily.

Although after forming a team, Chu Yue could see the names of these three people, but Chu Yue had only paid attention to their blood volume and did not look at their names. It was only now that Chu Yue knew the names of these two people.

Del and Lisa's health had dropped to the point where they were almost out of sight.

"I'm sorry...... Del said to Chu Yue, "not only did I live up to your kindness, but I also made you waste three precious bottles of instant recovery potion. ”

"No......" Chu Yue was just about to say something, but was interrupted by Lisa.

"Please! Help us take care of Anne! Lisa said suddenly.

Del seemed to hold back what he wanted to say, and finally just said three words: "Please......"

Del and Lisa's HP drops to zero.

The two men hugged each other, their bodies turned pale blue, and then ......

Exploded into silver-blue shards and vanished.

In the end, Chu Yue still failed to save these two people.

These two people died in front of Chu Yue like this.

Although it's not the first time I've met it, it's the first time that I haven't survived after my own help.

What's more, these two people are so affectionate, and when they finally come together, it can be regarded as a good ending.

It's just that......

In the team list in the upper left corner of Chu Yue's vision, there were only the names and blood bars of himself and this little girl.

And after the two of them died, Chu Yue also saw the little girl behind the silver-blue fragments.

The little girl, named Anne, rolled her eyes and fainted after seeing the death of Del and Lisa.

Her HP is just enough to put her at the passing line of immortality.

Chu Yue suddenly remembered that he had just said before he died that he had calculated that his blood volume would definitely drop to zero...... In this way, he also calculated, is Anne's HP just enough to keep her alive?

Chu Yue didn't know, but the top priority now was not to miss Del and Lisa, but to save Anne.

Therefore, Chu Yue poured the recovery potion from Anne's mouth first, so that Anne was out of danger first.

Seeing that Anne's blood volume had returned to its normal green color, Chu Yue picked up the little girl on her back and walked towards the town.

In the hotel, Chu Yue returned to her room, put Anne on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and sat down at the table next to her.

I JUST ARRIVED HERE FROM THE CLANNAD WORLD, AND I DIDN'T EXPECT TO ENCOUNTER SUCH A THING......

Chu Yue sighed as she fell asleep on the table.

When I woke up, it was just morning.

Chu Yue stretched and turned her head to look at the position of the bed.

Anne didn't know when she woke up, but now she just sat up quietly and looked at Chu Yue.

"Good morning, Annie." Chu Yue said to Anne.

"......" However, Anne didn't pay attention to Chu Yue.

"Hungry? I'm going to buy some breakfast and come back. Chu Yue said again.

"It's just a game anyway, and it's no ...... if you don't eat it," Anne began.

The sound is good, but it is ...... Calm and scary.

"Although there is no hunger in the game, if you don't eat, your brain will still receive hunger signals." Chu Yue said.

"But eating is just deceiving the brain, our body ...... Nothing has changed. Anne said.

"That's not what we decide." Chu Yue spread out her hands, "Since you can't do without SAO, then deceive and deceive your brain and let yourself adapt to it." ”

Anne bowed her head and fell silent.

Seeing that Anne stopped talking, Chu Yue said, "Then I'll go buy breakfast." ”

Soon, Chu Yue returned to the room.

Originally, Chu Yue thought that Anne would run away or something, but after coming back, Anne still sat on the bed, bowing her head and not speaking.

Gave breakfast to Anne, who didn't eat it, just sat on the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.

Del and Lisa entrusted Anne to Chu Yue before they died, although Chu Yue didn't agree, but Chu Yue still couldn't bear to ignore this Lori.

Chu Yue knew that it would take a while for Anne to accept this matter, and she was not in a hurry anyway, so she simply stayed in the room and accompanied Anne.

At noon, Chu Yue went out to buy lunch again, but Anne still didn't eat.

In the evening, when Chu Yue was about to go to buy dinner, Anne, who had been silent, said to Chu Yue: "Why were you there at that time?" ”

Hearing Anne speak, Chu Yue didn't go out anymore and sat down again.

"In order to find the boss of the first layer of Ayn Grant." Chu Yue replied.

"Look for the boss...... Oh, no wonder, you're so good......" said Anne.

"So, what about you?" Chu Yue said, "Last night was so dangerous, why did you go to the forest?" ”

"It's Daddy......" Anne paused, then continued, "Daddy said, go investigate, don't fight monsters, it's going to be fine......"

"Oh......" Chu Yue nodded.

It's a pity that the poisonous blood bat is an active monster at night, and it is also hate-shared.

"Daddy, his name is Del." Anne added: "In reality, he is a researcher. ”

"I see." Chu Yue said.

"I got this game during the open beta because of my dad's interest. He bought the game from someone else at a high price. "Dad loved these high-tech achievements, and when he saw the SAO advertisement, he convinced my mom to take me into the game with my mom." ”

"On the first day, we were blown away by the game...... Dad was full of praise for this game. Anne played with her hair and said, "When that happens, neither Dad nor Mom will believe it......"

"Dad said, it must be a server failure, let's wait...... After waiting for three days, we found that if we didn't upgrade, we might not even have the ability to protect ourselves when we encountered bad guys, so we went to fight monsters. ”

"At first, the monster was of course the wild boars outside...... As I remember, we fought for a long time. Because after increasing the gathering skill, you can also collect pork by killing wild boars. ”

"My father is very powerful, because of his work, he can see the fixed attack methods of many monsters, and after a few tests, he can also calculate the success rate when fighting monsters."

"Awesome." Chu Yue said.

It's really powerful, yesterday I could calculate whether their HP was enough or not, even high-end players, not many people can be sure what the outcome of these death-line situations will be.

"Mom's words, I'm usually at home all the time." "We have a great atmosphere in our house and a good relationship between mom and dad......

Is Lisa a stay-at-home wife...... Chu Yue said in her heart.

"That night, after we fought the monsters, we were going to go back, but Dad said he wanted to investigate the forest farther away......"

"At first, my mother disagreed, but my father was very powerful, and we have always listened to my father, and it has always been safe to kill monsters, and the level has also caught up, and we have money...... So, in the end, we listened to my dad and went deeper into the forest to investigate. ”

It seems that Del was a little conceited yesterday.

He, who had never failed in his life, wanted to go deep into the forest yesterday to investigate. But if there are only three of them in the family, if they encounter the poisonous blood bat for the first time, if they don't run away quickly and are entangled by the poisonous blood bat, they will definitely die.

Although they were lucky enough to meet Chu Yue, neither the instant recovery potion nor the ordinary recovery potion could save the lives of Del and Lisa, and only saved one Annie who was in a state of frequent death.

Although Del is good at calculations and is good at dealing with mobs, it is clear that he has little experience in the game.

If you encounter a boss, there is no chance to investigate in advance. Moreover, the general boss will activate special skills after red blood, and you won't know if you don't die a few times in a normal game.

In SAO, you only have one life......

Del is an obvious example of underestimating the game.

Chu Yue couldn't help but sigh.

Although Del and Lisa's love is commendable, this does not change Del's conceit that leads to failure.

"Then ......" Chu Yue saw that Anne didn't say anything anymore, so she stood up, "I'm going to buy dinner." ”

Anne bowed her head again and said nothing.

Chu Yue didn't say anything anymore and went out to buy dinner.

When Chu Yue returned to the room, Annie was gone.

Looking at the large number of props on the bed, Chu Yue directly threw away the dinner and turned around and ran outside.

Although he is of a high level and has strong skills, in the SAO world, he is not as good as in real life.

Because if it was real life, Chu Yue would definitely sense that something was wrong with Annie; Because if it was real life, Chu Yue would definitely be aware of Annie's breath leaving; Because if it were real life, Chu Yue would definitely be able to save this family......

However, this is Sword Art Online, it's the world of virtual video games, it's the world of VRMMORPG.

Running to the street, Chu Yue immediately asked passers-by about Anne's news.

Fortunately, a kind passer-by told Chu Yue that Anne was heading north.

The town here is already the northernmost city on the first level of Al Grande! Further north, all you can see is the endless sky where Aingrant floats!

"Annie!!" Finally, at the northern boundary of the first layer of Ayn Grant, Chu Yue saw Anne's figure.

Hearing Chu Yue's voice, Anne turned her head and saw Chu Yue running towards this side.

Anne faced Chu Yue, with tears in her eyes, she smiled hard, opened her mouth, and said softly:

"Thank you...... Goodbye......"

Then, Anne jumped out of boundaries......

Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, but immediately continued to run towards the border.

When I ran to the border, I only saw the silver-blue fragments in the sky below my feet, which were disappearing.

After a moment of silence, Chu Yue finally took a deep breath and turned to leave.

……

Chu Yue wrote the stories of Del, Lisa, and Anne into the latest "Hope".

Something like this has happened a lot in recent SAOs. But Chu Yue, from the perspective of the author, called on everyone to help those in need as much as possible.

Because now SAO is not just a game, it is also a world.

The player here is not just a player, but a life.

And Kirito, who learned about this, also sent an email to comfort Chu Yue.

Chu Yue replied to the email, saying that she didn't particularly care about this kind of thing, but Kirito, don't get too entangled in this kind of similar thing.

After reading Chu Yue's email, Kirito shook his head with a wry smile.

This kind of thing has already happened, but unfortunately, Kirito doesn't have such a good attitude as Chu Yue, so that when he is alone, he often blames himself and regrets for failing to prevent others from committing suicide.

……

December 2, 2022.

It's been a month since the SAO open beta, but no one has broken through the first layer.

Not even a single player who found the boss of the first tier.

Chu Yue and Kirito acted separately and looked for the boss on the first floor, but a month has passed, but they still haven't been able to find it.

And today, the first layer of the boss strategy meeting will be held.

Chu Yue and Kirito also discussed in the email that after today's meeting, they would have a practical meeting to exchange results.

The people who were called to participate in the first layer of the boss strategy meeting were all players with certain strength and a certain understanding of the game.

On the conference square on the first floor, Chu Yue arrived early, sitting around the square, watching the players who came here one after another.

About thirty players came, a blue-haired man stood in the center of the square, clapped his hands, and said loudly, "Alright!! So, let's get started! ”

These thirty or so players, although they are not the top players in SAO, but they are all relatively powerful, Chu Yue looked around and found that none of them were of a low level.

And after the man in the middle said that sentence, Chu Yue saw the late (correct wording) Kirito.

Kirito seemed to be looking for Chu Yue as well, so Chu Yue beckoned to Kirito.

Seeing Chu Yue, Kirito smiled, walked towards Chu Yue, and sat next to Chu Yue.

Chu Yue didn't say a word, scratched open the system menu, and then sent a trade request to Kirito.

Kirito suddenly felt a little strange, why did he have to trade as soon as Chu Yue came up? Could it be that Chu Yue found some amazing props?

After clicking agree, Kirito saw that Chu Yue had put a ...... in the transaction column Skirt......

Moreover, unlike the novice equipment last time, this dress looks significantly better and has better attributes.

However, these are of no other use than to show that "Chu Yue's tailoring skills have risen higher" and "Chu Yue is still a Hentai......

Kirito's originally smiling expression instantly turned into a dead fish eye after seeing the information about this dress, and then he closed the trading bar and sent a duel application towards Chu Yue......

"Don't like it?" Chu Yue casually rejected the duel application and said, "I thought it was because the skirt last time didn't suit your taste, but this time I made it look better." ”

"It's not a question of whether it's good or not!" Kirito immediately stood up and said.

"That friend over there!" Suddenly, the man in the center of the square shouted to this side, "Do you have any questions?" ”

"Ah, no, I'm sorry......" Kirito suddenly felt embarrassed and sat down again.

"Let's hear what he has to say first, and then we'll talk about it." Chu Yue said to Kirito.

Kirito nodded first, then raised his clenched fist to his chest and shook it twice, as if he was threatening Chu Yue not to mess around.

"Thank you very much for being able to respond to my call today!" The man said, "I'm Tilberu, by profession...... I'm a self-proclaimed knight! ”

Tilberu's words made everyone laugh, because there is no class system in SAO, but he said that he was a knight.

Tilberu was not angry either, after all, he was just trying to stir up the atmosphere. But after the atmosphere is hot, it's time to get down to business.

"Today, our team, on the top floor of that tower, found the boss's room." Tilberu said seriously, "We must defeat the boss and reach the second layer." Convey the light of hope that this death game will be able to open one day to the people waiting in the town of Initiation! ”

Tilberu's words aroused everyone's sense of responsibility and enthusiasm.

Indeed, in the current situation, everyone wants to quickly clear this game and return to the real world. In this case, everyone who defeats the boss is a hero.

Chu Yue and Kirito also looked at Tilberu with a smile.

"Unexpectedly, the two of us looked for the boss room that we didn't find for a month, and this team found it." Chu Yue said.

"Well, there's no way around it." Kirito said, "Moreover, it seems that the boss on the first floor is not simple, otherwise Tilberu could have led his team to kill the boss directly." ”

"Hmm." Chu Yue nodded.

"So, without further ado, I'm going to assign tasks to everyone." "First of all, please form a team of six. Floor bosses, you can't deal with them by a single team......"

Before Tilberu could finish his words, the people in the square had already begun to form a team with each other spontaneously.

"A team of six...... Chu Yue said, slashed open the system menu, and sent an invitation to Kirito to form a team.

"Isn't it a little too little for the two of us?" Kirito agreed to the invitation to form a team, and asked by the way.

"Hawkers, in terms of strength, it's not weaker than any team, but ......" Chu Yue glanced at the team interface, and then looked left and right: "If there are only two of us, they will definitely not rest assured, and they will not trust it." ”

"Then ......" Kirito was just about to say something when he saw Chu Yue walking towards the other side.

"Then let's add one more." Chu Yue said, and had already walked up to a woman wearing a dark red cloak.

The reason why it can be seen that it is a woman is not only because the person is in good shape, but also because the cloak does not cover her white stockings.

"Hello, would you like to join our team?" Chu Yue asked the woman in front of her.

"Huh?" Kirito followed Chu Yue over: "This person ...... Do you know Chu Yue? ”

"No, but aren't we few? It just so happened that she was also alone, so she wanted to come and team up together. Chu Yue replied.

"Hmm......" Kirito nodded.

"How about teaming up with us?" Chu Yue asked the woman again.

"Don't you have a team? Why are you still inviting me? The woman asked Chu Yue.

"Just now, Tilberu also said that he would form a team of six." Chu Yue said, "It's a pity, we only have two people now, although we can't find six people, but if there are three people, we can barely accept it." ”

The woman glanced at Chu Yue, then nodded.

So, Chu Yue opened the system menu again and invited the person in front of her.

The woman in the dark red cloak also opened the system menu and clicked agree.

As a result, there is another name and a blood bar in the team interface.

"Hello, Asuna." Chu Yue stretched out his hand and said.

"Hmm......" Asuna was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she reached out and shook Chu Yue's hand with hindsight: "Hello......"
