Six boosts, five successful from start to finish, and missed until the last one, but it didn't trigger downshifts or stat shifts.

The iron-clad facts once again prove that Asuna is worthy of being the daughter of luck in this world, even if she doesn't have the protection of [True Luck], at least she has a [Strong Luck Aura] by her side.

At the end of the six reinforcements, Asuna's tense nerves finally relaxed completely.

When she wanted to hand over the +5 "Sword of Fortitude" to Yi Tiancheng, she didn't pay attention to her feet and felt a little numb, and she stumbled on the spot.

Seeing that he was about to stage an easter egg falling on the ground, Yi Tiancheng on the side saw this, and directly stepped forward and hugged him with a gun.

"That, I'm sorry, failed once."

"It's already good, I'm very satisfied."

Feeling Yi Tiancheng's broad and strong chest, Asuna's delicate face was flushed with a fiery cloud-like flush, until it spread to the bottom of her fair neck.

"Ahh It's so angry! If I knew this was the case, I would have asked Asuna to strengthen it for me! Seeing the explosive results of Asuna's luck, and then looking at her +3 weapon, Yuki couldn't regret it in her heart, and even the handful of dull hair on her head was sluggish, so she could only say angrily: "In the future, when I change weapons, I will also ask Asuna to help with strengthening." ”

After completing the maintenance and strengthening of the weapon, Yi Tiancheng left the blacksmith shop with the three daughters, and went to other stores to buy consumables for tomorrow's leveling, and then went home.

Compared to other players who rent inns and taverns, Yi Tiancheng rented a farmhouse courtyard near the eastern farm after arriving in the "Torbana" neighborhood.

There is a beautiful stream around the courtyard, and the waterwheel on it makes a clattering sound, and the farm is a two-story main house, the ground floor is occupied by the NPC farmer's family, and the second floor is occupied by Yi Tiancheng.

As soon as she stepped into the entrance, the hostess greeted her with a smile and asked if she needed to serve dinner, which would not be indistinguishable from her appearance and words and deeds if it weren't for the system's prompt that it was an NPC.

There are two bedrooms on the second floor, Yi Tiancheng and Yanzi live in one, Asuna and Yuki live in one, the indoor area is more than 40 square meters, the decoration style is simple and simple, quite a kind of medieval pastoral style, plus the supporting bathroom, kitchen, living room and balcony, the living environment is more comfortable.

After taking a shower, Yi Tiancheng came to the open-air balcony, where Asuna was also there, curled up in a ball, his hands around his knees, and buried his head between his legs, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yi Tiancheng sat lazily on the wooden chair, took out a cigar and match from the inventory, lit it directly and smoked, and then said calmly: "It's been so long, it's time to come out of the shadows, right?" ”

"......" Asuna trembled slightly, slowly twisted her head from between her legs, and stared at Yi Tiancheng who was swallowing clouds and spitting mist.

The cool night breeze blew the smoke into her snort, making her can't help but wrinkle her nose, and then put her chin against her knees, sluggish, and said in a low voice: "Come out?" It's easy to say, that's my dearest. ”

"Yes, whether you admit it or not, being able to say it means that you have started to recover, even if it is difficult to speak, but the reality is so cruel and absurd."

Through the swirling smoke, Yi Tiancheng looked at the girl with a cold gaze, and said with an almost cold-blooded calm: "No matter how painful the grief is, no matter how desperate you think you can't get out, with the passage of time, even if you won't let go of it in the end, it will still gradually fade and even become numb." ”

"I don't like to comfort others, so I won't say anything superfluous, give time a little time, let the past pass, let the beginning begin."

With that, Yi Tiancheng leaned back on the recliner and looked up at the dark night sky.

This is the lowest level of Ayn Grant, and the night sky above his head is actually the base of the second layer, so it looks black and oppressive, without the slightest starlight.

If you want to see the starry sky, you have to go to the edge of the floor to see it.

Hearing Yi Tiancheng's words, a trace of anger crossed Asuna's hazel-colored eyes, and she wanted to open her mouth to refute the angry rebuke, but when the words came to her mouth, she couldn't say anything.

Eventually, she asked a question.

"Who are you?"

"Huh?" Yi Tiancheng glanced at her, slowly exhaled the smoke in his heart, and asked rhetorically, "We?" ”

"You, Tsuiko, and the murderer of my parents and brother, who are you?" Asuna turned her head, stared at Yi Tiancheng who was swallowing clouds and mist, and asked again in a low tone.

"Hehe~! It's hard to believe that you can endure it until now, but are you sure you want to know the answer? Yi Tiancheng asked disappreciatively.

Yi Tiancheng is not surprised, Asuna will notice that something is abnormal, which is the most normal thing.

In these days and nights, Yi Tiancheng did not deliberately avoid Asuna in dealing with some things, and even discussed the plot content of this world with Yanzi in front of her several times.

The system strictly prohibits the trialists from revealing information about the "Spirit Space" to the plot characters, but it does not prohibit the trialists from revealing the content of the plot.

Other practitioners may have read too many fan fiction and will habitually keep the secrets of their prophetic prescience, but Yi Tiancheng does not have this kind of consciousness at all.

It can even be said that the plot is used to collapse in his eyes.

After all, the more changes in the world line caused by personal interference, the higher the Reiko points and evaluation will be obtained after the trial.

Follow the development of the plot step by step, that is the way for rookies to play for the sake of insurance, but in fact, it is the easiest way to be killed by Lao Yin B.

In this trial, those unlucky ghosts who didn't even know how to die and who died at whose hands did not know this undoubtedly profoundly confirmed this.

Facing Asuna's question, Yi Tiancheng sneered: "If you ask me this question, it means that although you don't want to admit it in your heart, you are starting to waver!" ”

"Yes, our relationship with you is the same as the relationship between players and NPCs in this game, it doesn't matter whether you admit it or not, but in our eyes, you and the world are just characters in fictional stories."

"......" Asuna clenched her fists tightly, staring at the man in front of her with wide eyes, as if trying to find a trace of a joke or lie in his eyes, but in the face of the cold and indifferent, still like stagnant black eyes, she finally had to give up this thought.

After confirming that the other party was really not joking, Asuna was full of grief and gloom, and said in disbelief: "Do you mean that the real world I am in is actually just a virtual game?" ”

"Virtual games?" Yi Tiancheng shook his head and said indifferently: "It's not a game, it's a work of anime fiction, called "Sword Art Online", and you are the heroine in this work." ”

"I don't believe it, it's ridiculous, I think it's your mental problem!"

"Hehe, you'll treat me as a neuropath." Yi Tiancheng flicked off the cigarette butt with his fingers and sneered disapprehantly: "Do you want to listen, how did I make up your script in my head?" ”

"You don't have to refuse, just listen to the story, and listen to the story that would have happened under normal circumstances without the interference of me and other outsiders......"

Looking at the girl in front of him who seemed to be being played badly, the corners of Yi Tiancheng's mouth were lightly raised, and his eyes were full of undisguised bad taste, as if he was a storyteller, he began to tell the story of a bloody harem of a black-clothed swordsman......
