With Yi Tiancheng's departure, this BOSS strategy meeting ended without a hitch.

After witnessing this life-and-death PK with his own eyes, and witnessing the death of the Tooth King under Yi Tiancheng's sword, the hearts of the high-end players present were cast a lingering shadow.

From the beginning of the game to the present, although the death list also shows that the player died at the hands of others, it is difficult to speculate on others with the greatest malice without seeing it with your own eyes.

Even if it is self-deception, everyone subconsciously prefers to believe that it is an indirect act taken by the player by using monsters to kill it for personal gain.

After all, in everyone's opinion, SAO has been reduced to a game of death, and if you actively kill other people in order to solve conflicts and find excitement, this kind of behavior is no different from killing people in real life.

What's more, in this way, the hope of beating this game strategy will also become slim and far away.

Now, the worst is happening in plain sight.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Tooth King only offended Yi Tiancheng verbally, classifying him as a closed beta player, and provoking him from the moral high ground.

Then, without saying a word, Yi Tiancheng directly launched a life-and-death PK, and killed him in public.

It was supposed to be a good boss strategy meeting, but it turned out to be such a bloody incident, and such a terrifying news is bound to soon spread to every village on the level and be known to all players.

The player's fear and hatred of this death game, the negative emotions that breed in the captivity of this floating city, and the despair and depression of this precarious life, in such an environment, once this kind of thing has a beginning, it is like opening Pandora's box, and it is not difficult to imagine what kind of evil consequences will be triggered.

And this situation is exactly what Yi Tiancheng wants to see.

Not long after Yi Tiancheng returned home, an unexpected acquaintance came to visit.

The person who came was Li Yuxin, and he was also the last surviving tester besides Yi Tiancheng and Yanzi.

"Tsk~! Unexpectedly took the initiative to send it to the door? I'm curious who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru? Looking at the girl who took the initiative to send it to the door, Yi Tiancheng couldn't help but sneer.

"Liang Jingru can't do it, I must say that someone gave me courage, then this person is you." Li Yuxin had no stage fright, and said calmly with a smile: "If you really plan to kill me, I'm afraid I would have died like everyone else unconsciously!" ”

"So what? Miss Li came to the door, what did she do? Yi Tiancheng raised his eyebrows and asked, he was not surprised that the other party could guess this.

From the beginning of the game, the other trialists rushed to their deaths, and only three survived. If you can't guess what's going on, you're mentally retarded.

Although Li Yuxin is afraid of death, her IQ is not in arrears, but she is still a high-IQ talent, so she can naturally guess what happened, and understand that the reason why she survived was completely due to the mercy of the other party's subordinates.

Similarly, it is precisely because she has both the qualities of timidity and wisdom that she made the opposite decision after learning about Yi Tiancheng, bought detailed information from Argo, and took the initiative to come to the door as soon as possible.

Because she sees through and knows that what seems to be the most dangerous place is actually the safest place.

"This ......" Li Yuxin was stunned for a few seconds, and then under Yi Tiancheng's gaze, he asked weakly: "Thank you for your grace of not killing?" ”

"......" The corners of Yi Tiancheng's mouth twitched twice, giving her a 'Babylonian suspicion' look, and asked, "Do you have a brain?" ”

"No, I'm a top student who won a double master's degree in economics and finance from Stanford Graduate School of Business at the age of 19." As soon as the words came out, she immediately paused, because she suddenly remembered that Yi Tiancheng didn't even seem to have graduated from high school, for fear that her words would anger the other party.

Fortunately for her, the other party was not angry, so she hurriedly continued: "Actually, I want to join your team, although I am not very good at fighting, but I can still play a role in other aspects, whether it is the spirit sub space or in the real world, I will definitely be able to help you." ”

"Oh? It's kind of interesting, so tell me how to help me? Yi Tiancheng asked interestingly.

Li Yuxin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out her thoughts, and began to speak in an orderly manner......

More than an hour later, the conversation came to an end, and Li Yuxin finally succeeded in convincing Yi Tiancheng to become a temporary member of the team.

After that, the five of them had dinner together, and Yi Tiancheng also introduced Li Yuxin to the other three girls.

Although Li Yuxin is a top student, she is also a senior otaku, and she is naturally no stranger to the third daughter, and she can even be said to know her roots, so she quickly integrated into this team......

The next day, everyone got up on time.

After breakfast, Yi Tiancheng and the four of them packed all the raw materials that were not processed in the inventory and threw them to Li Yuxin, and handed them over to her to deal with them with their full authority.

Then, Yi Tiancheng took the three daughters and went straight to the maze area and continued to start rushing.

It is worth mentioning that after a day and two nights of sluggishness, Asuna didn't know whether she wanted to open it herself, or for other reasons, she was no longer that languishing, her spirit was unprecedentedly full, and even exuded an awe-inspiring momentum.

But soon, Yi Tiancheng and the three of them sensed that something was wrong.

Because of Yi Tiancheng, Yanzi, Asuna and Yuki, the difference in combat effectiveness between the four people is too great, so Yi Tiancheng's tactics are that Asuna and Yuki will work together to deal with a kobold; The son singled out the kobold, and he could basically kill without injury; And he himself is the main output plus anti-pressure, one person against three kobolds at the same time.

However, as soon as Asuna entered the labyrinth area, she didn't say a word, and stepped forward to fight the kobold warriors head-on.

is different from Yi Tiancheng and Yinzi, with Asuna's current level and combat experience, such a heads-up battle is far more than strenuous, and can even be described as dangerous.

Asuna's fighting style was also obviously influenced by Yi Tiancheng and Tsuko, and when dealing with the kobold warrior's attack, she also chose to dodge with minimal movement of the sideways.

Each time the dodge is successful, it will attack with a highly completed [Linear Attack] that locks onto the chest of the kobold warrior.

If you dodge this way in a small way, the muzzle velocity of the counterattack will increase a lot, and the durability of the weapon will not decrease.

However, it is a big risk, because it is much more difficult than parrying with weapons, or retreating and dodging completely.

Once you miss, you will easily be hit head-on, and there is a chance to trigger the inactive [Stun] state.

As long as you are dizzy, if your teammates do not rescue you in time, then it is easy to capsize.

Moreover, if you are not careful, and then provoke a second monster to attack, then unless you run away immediately, you will definitely die.

For example, now, before Asuna could finish off the kobold warrior in front of her, another kobold not far away was attracted to her.

In this way, the situation is dangerous, but Asuna turns a blind eye and still grits her teeth and fights hard.

"Don't you go to the hero to save the beauty?" Yanzi, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke.

"First, I'm not a hero; Second, why save? If she wants to die, then it will be good for her. Yi Tiancheng said indifferently with a calm face.

As Yi Tiancheng said, Asuna's actions are undoubtedly looking for death.

Originally, I thought that Asuna was broken and then stood up, but I didn't expect it to be a life and death intention.

did not choose to commit suicide, but was determined to die in battle, which is probably her last strength.

Yi Tiancheng did not tell the girls the true situation of the death game, he hoped that the women could deal with the game with a real mindset of facing life and death.

But he never thought that under his own wave of operations, he would actually collapse the character of Asuna's play.

"Danger! Asuna! ”

Yi Tiancheng chose to watch coldly, but Yuki on the side didn't say a word, and rushed directly to help Asuna break the siege like a conditioned reflex.

Looking at this scene, Yi Tiancheng did not stop it, but his eyes became a little subtle.

He remembered that in the "Psalm of Our Lady", Yuki seemed to have some inexplicable little ambiguities with Asuna.

There are even some sword fans who stand in the CP combination of the 'Yayou Party'.

These two, under the tightening effect of the world line, have become good friends in advance, right?

Thinking of this, looking back at Yuki and Asuna's tacit understanding, Yi Tiancheng always felt that this matter was probably not impossible......
