2024, 1 January.

It's been two months since Asuna's birthday.

During this period, He Yuan has been fighting in the labyrinth area of each layer in order to upgrade.

Of course, the famous Christmas-limited event boss, the apostate Nicholas, who will drop the "Soul Resurrection Saint Quart", was also beheaded by He Yuan's sword.

And from the thirty-eighth floor to the forty-seventh floor of the current boss strategy, He Yuan has not been absent.

Today, the level has reached ninety-eight, which is twenty-four levels higher than the seventy-fourth level of Kirito, who is currently the highest-ranking Kirito.

In addition to the improvement of the hardware level, He Yuan's current proficiency in "one-handed sword mastery" has also reached more than seven hundred, unlocking four skills that can be used freely.

In addition, regarding the four attributes of the first order of the "mind" system, He Yuan is also very skillful in using them.

This is a huge lake, the lake is full of green leaves, and in the gap between the water and the sky, there are still white or pink lotus flowers standing proudly in it.

On the surface of the lake, there are islands that are obviously built with traces of man, and the connection between these islands is a pontoon bridge floating on the water, and under the sun, the steaming water vapor shines with colorful luster, like a fairyland.

This is the twenty-fourth floor of Ayn Grant, Panarezer.

A circular blue circle of light appeared, and He Yuan's figure appeared on the largest island in the center of the lake.

Among the forty-seven floors that have been conquered so far, except for the forty-seventh floor, the scenery on this floor is the most beautiful.

Therefore, some high-level players use this floor as the best place to "relax".

Driven by the high-level players, the middle-level and low-level players have also come, and in a few months, this layer has become one of the most popular "scenic spots" in Ayn Grande.

Even the players who are waiting to die on the first floor have heard of the name here, and many of them have plucked up the courage to go out of the city to kill monsters in order to come here, just to save a little money to come here.

Of course, there are also some older players, mostly sixty or seventy years old, or want to relax, or want to be fresh, trapped in the game, can't pick their shoulders and can't carry, relying on rich life experience, formed a chamber of commerce, in this game to earn a lot of money, because there is no need to level up, there is a lot of time, so they form a "sightseeing group", in the safety of the floor to see the scenery.

After looking around, He Yuan looked at him certainly, pretending to be a player who came to play, and quietly followed a group of seven or eight people.

……

It stands to reason that He Yuan should be in the labyrinth area with Asuna and others to attack the forty-eighth floor, but last night, Asuna's email made He Yuan give up participating in this boss battle.

According to Nehmeyah, the founder of the "Chamber of Commerce", yesterday, the three elders of the Chamber of Commerce died while traveling on the 24th floor, and I hope that the first guild in the game, the "Knights of the Blood Alliance", can help investigate the cause.

However, yesterday, Asuna and the players of the strategy group had already held a boss strategy meeting on the forty-eighth floor, so it was no surprise that this task was dumped by her to He Yuan.

With the existence of the "Seeking the Enemy" skill, He Yuan did not get too close to the people of the "Chamber of Commerce", but kept a distance of about two hundred meters and walked forward slowly.

One morning was enough time for He Yuan to cool down from the state of "leveling maniac".

Therefore, regarding the death of the "Chamber of Commerce" player tour group, He Yuan also turned it out of his memory.

All along, the players who are trapped in the game have a lot of pressure in their hearts, and the fear of death has always been with everyone.

This is the same whether it is a player at the bottom or a member of the strategy team who is fighting on the front line.

Then, someone made a statement like "Since it's a death game, it's a matter of course to kill people.,Enjoy the game happily.,It's a right to give all players.,Put "PK killing" in a grand way.,And set up a killing guild.。

It's called Laughing coffin.

Or rather, a smiling coffin.

Yesterday, December 31, 2023, was the day of the founding of the Smiling Coffin Guild, and the players of the tour group unfortunately became the sacrifices of their flags.

Therefore, following the bait sent by the "Chamber of Commerce" this time, He Yuan did not dare to be careless at all.

The people in the smiling coffin may have been normal before, but after last night, it is no longer possible.

People, once they kill someone, whether it is behavior habits or mentality, will change a lot.

He Yuan didn't believe that with the establishment of the Smiling Coffin Guild yesterday, the guy called Prince of hell, referred to as POH, would leave someone who didn't do anything.

That is to say, all the existing members of the Smile Coffin participated in the killing, and all of them were red players.

The "sightseeing group" in front of it is heading north of Panareze, where the last members of the "Chamber of Commerce" were yesterday.

Behind, his pupils flashed with blue light, and He Yuan turned his head to look around from time to time.

In front of a group of players who have already killed people, He Yuan didn't dare to be careless.

He Yuan estimates that the current players of the Smiling Coffin are between level 50 and 60, which is a cut below the players in the strategy group who are active on the front line.

Two hundred meters away, if you go all out, He Yuan can reach it in three seconds.

In three seconds, placed on the bodies of Kirito He Yuan, Asuna and others, two powerful skills can be released, and at least fifteen consecutive attacks can be made.

Of course, not everyone has this sense of operation, at most, it is enough to pose well and release a skill.

With their attacks, it is simply impossible to kill the bait player in front of them with a skill.

"Shh~"

Blinking, He Yuan sighed.

The blue halo in the pupils dissipated, and the visual field returned to normal.

The skill of "Seeking the Enemy", He Yuan is also the first time to open it for such a long time, with his body value of breaking 100, close to the burden of five hours, and his eyes are almost at the limit.

Rubbing his somewhat sore eyes, He Yuan walked forward quickly.

Without the vision of "seeking the enemy", He Yuan can only keep himself closer to the players in the sightseeing group in front of him, so as not to react if something happens at this time.

Ahead, a huge tree imprinted into He Yuan's eyes.

And the seven or eight players who used as bait had already set foot on the floating island.

He Yuan's heart tightened, now that he had just turned off the "Seeking Enemy", the skill was still in the cooldown time, but he reached the destination at this time, which was a bit bloody.

The floating island with huge trees was the last place of the old man of the "Chamber of Commerce" yesterday.

In other words, the person who smiled at the coffin is most likely still on that island.
