In "SAO", the boss of each layer is bound to burst out with a piece of equipment, whether it is a weapon or armor, it must be the best piece of equipment in that class.

However, the boss's equipment is not obtained by roll points, nor is it assigned by the team leader, but the person who grabs the boss's final blow can obtain this equipment.

So, here's the problem.

Just now, 45 players attacked the boss together, and the scene was too chaotic, and in this situation of only luck, anyone could grab the final blow.

If someone gets the boss equipment but doesn't report it, there's nothing you can do.

However, Kirito raised his hand at this time, "I got the final blow, and the boss exploded with armor called Coat-of-Midnight." ”

As he spoke, he also showed the attributes of the equipment to the crowd.

Looking at that amazing attribute, everyone showed envy in their eyes, but then, everyone shifted their attention to Xia Qianshi.

Whoever grabs the final blow of equipment will belong to whomever it is, this is the rule set before the start of the war.

But after this thrilling battle, everyone agreed that the boss's equipment must be given to Xia Qianshi.

But Xia Qianshi and Kirito are friends again, and everyone doesn't know what to do for a while.

Just when everyone was extremely entangled, Kirito had already taken the initiative to come over, and while making a trade request to Xia Qianshi, he said, "Brother Qianshi, this equipment should belong to you." ”

"No, rules can't be easily broken."

Xia Qianshi clicked on the cancellation of the transaction request: "And you also saw just now, with my fighting style, the effect of armor on me is actually very small. ”

"That's ......"

Whispering like this, Kirito seemed to be hesitating about something, but in the next second, he made up his mind.

The one-handed straight sword Anneal-Blade, which had been carrying him behind his back, suddenly disappeared, operating his personal system, and Kirito embodied his love sword in his hand as a 'gift' option, and handed it to Xia Qianshi.

"My +6Anneal Blade should be considered the most powerful weapon in SAO so far, and the Night Coat can also be regarded as the strongest armor at the moment...... Exchange the strongest weapons for the strongest armor, and so on...... It's always possible, right? ”

Kirito raised his head and smiled at Xia Qianshi, "If you refuse again, I won't recognize you as a big brother!" ”

"Well, since you've got it all to ...... said."

Xia Qianshi stretched out his hand to Kirito, but instead of taking the sword directly, he held his hand, and the two of them raised the pitch-black long sword above their heads together, and announced loudly:

"This Raider ...... It was we who won! ”

"Woo-oh-oh————!"

The cheers rang out again, and at this point, the boss strategy battle on the first layer was completely over, with 45 participants and 45 survivors-

Zero casualties!

After the cheers subsided a little, Xia Qianshi whispered to Kirito, "By the way, what about Asuna?" Why haven't you seen her all this time? ”

"Hah......?!"

Before Kirito could answer, a murderous voice came from beside him: "I've been standing next to you all the time, and you actually said you didn't see me?" I think you're deliberately ignoring me! ”

Hearing this familiar voice, Xia Qianshi subconsciously turned his head, and then couldn't help but be stunned:

Under the long straight chestnut hair in the middle is a goose egg face and large hazel pupils that emit dazzling light, under the small and straight nose bridge, cherry blossom-colored lips add a touch of grace to her beauty, and her long body is wearing a slim combat uniform, and a sharp thin sword hangs from the white leather sword belt.

This is a sassy beautiful girl, with an elf-like appearance, Xia Qianshi has lived two lives, and has never seen a more beautiful girl than her.

"Are you...... Asuna? Xia Qianshi said in disbelief.

"Of course." Asuna crossed her arms and held her little head high to look like a proud peacock, but she was actually very happy in her heart.

When Xia Qianshi said that she was an ugly girl, she had been YY, YY Xia Qianshi saw her true appearance, what kind of reaction would she have.

Now, she was very satisfied with Xia Qianshi's reaction.

"That's not right...... Where's your cloak? Didn't you wear a cloak all the time? ”

Ever since Xia Qianshi met Asuna, she has always worn a cloak, and she has never taken it off even when she eats, which once gave Xia Qianshi the illusion that 'the cloak is the body'.

"Can I take it off?"

"Of course, but ......" Xia Qianshi touched his head and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to take off your cloak and be so beautiful." ”

Asuna's heart instantly contracted, and a small feeling of joy surged in her heart, but she immediately said: "I really convinced you, what age are you, and you still use such an old-fashioned accosting technique, and the person who said I was an ugly girl before, isn't it you?" ”

Looking at Xia Qianshi, who seemed a little stumbling under Asuna's sharp 'attack', Kirito showed a funny expression at the corner of his mouth.

He thought that he was not good at dealing with women, but he didn't expect that a steady and reliable person like Brother Qianshi would be the same.

How did he know that after Xia Qian took revenge in his previous life, he was a homebody for several years with peace of mind, except for a few friends who played games together on the Internet, he didn't have any female friends at all, so he was naturally not very good at dealing with women.

"Forget it, for your good performance today, I'll forgive you."

Asuna, who was originally angry, suddenly changed her face, and when she saw Xia Qianshi showing an incomprehensible surprised look, she suddenly lowered her head, her shoulders trembled, and although she covered it with her hand in time, a laugh of "fluttering" still came out.

"I'm sorry...... Actually, I owe you a debt of gratitude. ”

Asuna smiled a little dizzily and said, "...... It turns out that there are some things that can be pursued. I...... For the first time in this world, I found my goal and what I wanted to pursue. ”

"Uh...... What is it? ”

"It's a secret!" Asuna waved her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, don't make everyone wait for a long time, since the boss has been eliminated by us, then let's go and open the road to the second layer!" ”
