From the afternoon to the evening, Xia Qianshi was already able to skillfully use the skills released by the system to kill the enemy.

As for unleashing skills through body movement commands, he has only scratched the hang of it and needs to take time to practice.

However, although he practiced for an afternoon, his level was still level 1, his experience bar was at 86%, and his skill proficiency with a one-handed straight sword had only increased by a pitiful 8 points.

Leveling up in SAO is extremely difficult.

For example, Asuna has been desperately leveling up for the past seven days, but now it is still only level 7.

How desperate is she?

Well, only two hours of sleep a day.

In fact, the highest-level players are only around level 10, but it is now the 21st day of the server.

He can be upgraded to nearly level 2 in one afternoon, which is already a fast upgrade speed, which is still the reason why he skips the level to kill monsters.

Of course, because of Asuna, a level 7 master, even if he crosses the level to kill monsters, he is not in the slightest danger.

"Whew-"

Xia Qianshi let out a breath and fell straight on the grass.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Asuna was startled.

"Rest."

Xia Qianshi's lazy tone made Asuna, who thought he had died suddenly, suddenly angry, "It's only been an afternoon of weirdness, and you're going to rest?" ”

"It's a long afternoon, isn't it?"

Xia Qianshi arranged himself in large characters on the grass, stretched his limbs vigorously, and showed a comfortable expression on his handsome face.

"Don't push yourself too hard, the most important thing to be a human being is to enjoy life...... You see, the day is so blue, the grass is so soft, and the air is still fragrant, wouldn't it be a pity not to take a nap? ”

"But it's getting night!"

Asuna wanted to say this, but the words were already on her lips, and she suddenly swallowed them back.

What's the use of talking to NPCs?

She suddenly felt a little excited.

Inserting the sword into its white leather scabbard, the scabbard pinned to her waist, the rapier tilted her head, the twilight sun falling from the sky on her petite body wrapped in a brown cloak.

The vast hills that spread in all directions glistened in the beginning of the reddish sun, the outline of a forest appeared in the far north, the glittering lake in the south, the walls of the town a little in the east, and the infinite sky and golden clouds in the west.

yes, it's beautiful, I know it.

But we don't have time to stop and admire.

Asuna suddenly envied Xia Qianshi - compared to them, although Xia Qianshi was just an NPC, she lived more like a 'human'.

The nearly 5,000 players cowering in the Initial Street are nothing more than a bunch of rats living in the dark.

The players who fight day and night on the battlefield are just a bunch of undead who are about to step into the dead realm.

And what about her Asuna?

After being told it was a death game, she spent two weeks curled up in her hotel bed with the luck of 'maybe this is a joke'.

For two weeks, the news reached her ears without hope, only despair.

There are more than a thousand players committing suicide or dying at the hands of monsters, but players haven't even found the maze on the first floor.

It's impossible to beat the game from within, and the only option left is 'how to die'.

Yes, sooner or later, everyone is going to die.

But instead of dying like a sewer rat in the Initial Street, it is better to fight desperately and then pass away, like a meteor that burns up in the atmosphere.

Asuna made up her mind, and she walked out of the hotel with her chosen weapon, a rapier, and walked to the front of all players in a world she was completely unfamiliar with, with only one person and one sword.

From beginning to end, she didn't stop for a moment, and now, it was time to go.

"Whew-"

The thin sword made the girl exhale deeply, and the hazel-colored eyes under the hood looked at Xia Qianshi and said, "My task is completed, right?" Can you give me a reward now? ”

"Of course."

Anyway, the reward is given by the system, so even if it is 10,000 Keer, Xia Qianshi will not feel distressed at all.

However, when he opened his personal window, the whole person was stunned.

"What's the matter, do you want me to submit the task myself?"

After saying this, Asuna opened her quest screen, and then she was stunned.

Immediately, her whole body trembled—

Murderous!

Xia Qianshi felt a huge murderous aura!

"I'm so sorry!"

Before Asuna issued a question, Xia Qianshi got up and took the lead in expressing his apology.

"This! Arrive! Bottom! Be! How! Whatever! Return! Affair! ”

Asuna's mind collapsed, and she almost spat out these words between her teeth, because her task worth 10,000 kors was gone!

Xia Qianshi's mentality is also about to collapse.

Because he found out that he had turned from an NPC to a player!

Plans to 'pretend to be the protagonist of the game to deceive players' or 'loot resources as an NPC' have all failed!

Damn Akihiko Kayaba!

The only person who can transform his NPC identity into a player is Kayaba Jinghiko, and it must be that his behavior today violated the logic of the system, causing Kayaba Jinghiko to discover the anomaly and then notice his existence.

Depend on! Our beam is settled, and one day we will slaughter you!

Xia Qianshi scolded angrily in his heart, but the key at the moment is to calm the anger of the thin sword envoy, Xia Qianshi has no doubt that if he can't give a reasonable explanation, the other party is afraid that he will kill himself first!

But before he could organize his words, the accelerator asked in a trembling voice, "...... The task is canceled, that is...... The reward of 10,000 Kel is gone? ”

"Ah...... That's true, but ......"

What the hell did I work all afternoon for?!

Anger and the tiredness of sleeping only two hours for seven days straightened over, and Asuna fainted as soon as her eyes darkened.
