In the empty hall, there was silence, leaving only He Yuan's melodious voice.

"Tooth King, you said that we are too strong, but it's just that you are too weak."

"As for what you said, let me share the resources with you."

Looking at the sluggish Tooth King, He Yuan showed a contemptuous smile: "Tooth King, do you think it's fair for me to share resources with you for those who don't know this information?" ”

After saying that, ignoring the silent crowd, he walked in front of Asuna.

"Asuna, let's go."

"Hmm!"

Asuna, who was excited, made He Yuan feel a little dazzling.

It's just that the height of He Yuan's chest reminds He Yuan that the current Asuna seems to be only fifteen years old......

Before entering the second layer of Ayn Grant, He Yuan paused.

"Hey, Kirito."

"Thank you for your outspokenness this time!"

……

"Is this the second layer of Ayn Grant, Ulbas?"

Coming out of the portal, the two of them were greeted by a steel city like the age of steam.

A little farther away, you can still see the shadows of the mountains.

"Asuna, let's find a place to eat first, can it be regarded as a celebration of the success of the strategy?"

"Hmm."

"Huh?" He Yuan glanced at Asuna beside him, this time, didn't you even look for a reason?

It seems that the successful strategy of the first layer of the boss has soothed Asuna's tense nerves.

……

In the dining room, He Yuan's right elbow was propped up on the table, and his chin was dragged with his palm.

Unlike Asuna's chewing and slow swallowing, He Yuan's speed of eating is not an exaggeration to describe as gobbling up.

Therefore, even if there was still more than half of the steak left in front of Asuna, He Yuan's plate was as clean as new.

Look out the window, it's been more than an hour since the strategy was successful, and here and there, from time to time, players come out of the portal, and then hurry out of town.

Obviously, most of the people who can enter the second layer at this time are closed beta players.

After these people scraped the resources of the first layer, they got the news of the success of the raider, and they all set their goals on the second layer, wanting to scrape the resources again like the first layer.

Unfortunately, they don't know it, and this will make them isolate themselves from the average player.

Because, with the example of Diabel's success in the past, ordinary players will form a guild on the second layer, which is larger or smaller, more or less numerous.

Under the huddle of ordinary players, the closed beta players can only silently integrate into it, and as for those who have exposed their identities, they can only go all the way to the dark.

Retracting his thoughts, He Yuan looked at Asuna opposite.

In fact, after the success of the raider, the reason why it developed like that can also be said to be deliberate by He Yuan.

Of course, it's certainly true that you're not happy with those people.

Before the strategy, He Yuan's plan was to accompany Asuna to fight until he successfully attacked the hundredth floor, defeated Akihiko Kayaba, and rescued Asuna who was trapped in the game.

However, in the process of raiding, the pain caused by the injury made He Yuan sober up.

I am different from everyone else.

The biggest flaw is that it will bleed if it is injured, and the dark red spots in the boss room remind He Yuan that the blood he sheds will not be refreshed.

After that, it was He Yuan's own thoughts.

The world in the future will not always be the game world, and at that time, what skills, equipment, switching, etc., I guess I can't use it, right?

So, what else is left of me at that time?

At present, He Yuan can only be sure of his own physical fitness, as well as the half-hung "fatal attack".

Thinking like this, He Yuan felt a strong sense of urgency.

After all, in the original book, two years later, it was Kirito who defeated Heathcliff on the seventy-fifth floor and rescued more than 6,000 people who were still alive in the game.

Although now due to the addition of the "main god", "THE SEED" has evolved completely, but He Yuan will not underestimate the power of the plot.

After all, Diabel was saved by himself, and the title of "cheater" was also born?

Although, it's not Kirito who bears this name now.

"Ah~~ What are you looking at?"

has been stared at by He Yuan, even Asuna, who will be shy...... Yes!

"Huh."

Looking at the embarrassed Asuna, He Yuan strengthened his determination.

My psychology is probably very dark!

At that time, deliberately revealing himself was far beyond the existence of "closed beta players", making himself the target of public criticism, and what I wanted to see most was not to think that Asuna was forced by everyone to stay away from herself?

In that case, you will have a reason to go on your own, practice hard, and practice all your skills to the point where you can use them even without the assistance of the system.

Of course, in the process of this practice, if there is one less person to share experience, one's level will definitely rise faster, and correspondingly, one's own body will strengthen faster.

People who teach themselves to fight and say, "You will live before you die," and give yourself the courage to fight, are seen as a burden......

As long as Asuna chooses the path she loes, she can leave her alone without guilt......

Such a self is really, disgustingly hypocritical!

Of course, the subsequent development was beyond He Yuan's expectations.

But it also made He Yuan make a choice.

When Kirito was in the Night Moon Black Cat Troupe, wasn't he able to take them to level up during the day and level up alone at night?

Then, I will definitely be able to do it, and I will do it better than him!

"Finished eating? So, Asuna, let's go, start leveling up! ”

……

The second layer of Ayn Grant, which is about the same diameter as the first, is a tropical area dominated by grasslands and rocks.

There are many caves in the mountains, and of course, because of the lack of light, you must use torches to level up in the caves.

In addition to this, the second layer is divided into three areas: the vast northern area and the narrow southern area, as well as the plains on the western side.

The Labyrinth is a wasteland area that runs through the west and is roaming with more advanced monsters.

Because the tone set by He Yuan was simply killing monsters, the direction of the two of them was the plain area on the west side where the labyrinth area was located.

"Hmm, is this monster a bison?"

In the vast grassland, you can see herds of bison roaming around, as few as two or three, as many as five or six.

Just by looking at the size, you know that this guy, who is five or six times larger than the first layer of wild wolves, must not be easy to mess with.

Not to mention, the number is still plural.
