Chapter 81: Waiting Silently (Happy Lantern Festival)
Night time
It goes fast with some people, but it goes very slowly with others.
Some people close their eyes and open their eyes, and the night passes.
Some people are so entangled in trivial matters that they can't sleep in the middle of the night, tossing and turning in bed, and finally they can't resist the attack of drowsiness and gradually fall asleep.
And Lu Qing and Asuna belong to the latter.
One is in turmoil, the other is uneasy!
The next day
The two of them came out of their room together and found each other at the first time.
“……”
Standing in silence, the two looked at each other and did not speak.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while!
"Well, that Asuna is early!"
Smiled a little uncomfortably, pulled the corners of his mouth, Lu Qing raised his right hand and greeted Asuna.
After saying hello, Lu Qing didn't mention how awkward it was, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had been so embarrassed.
In the past, I didn't usually say hello in the morning, otherwise it was very casual.
When is it the same as now, it feels embarrassing to die even to say hello.
Asuna's face also flashed with a hint of strangeness, but she quickly adjusted her mentality, smiled softly at Lu Qing and said:
"Morning, Lu Jun!"
“……”
Looking at Asuna, who seemed to be unusual, Lu Qing was stunned, although he had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, he didn't show it.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Qing also adjusted his mentality, and said with a smile: "Are you still going to the Blood Alliance Knights today?" ”
"Hmm!"
Asuna nodded and said, "There are still some things to deal with in the group, not to mention that the strategy team is going to focus on the next strategy against the lord boss recently!" ”
“……”
The words fell, but the two fell silent in unison.
Looking at each other, they didn't seem to know what to say for a while.
The matter has not been resolved, and now there is an invisible wall between the two.
After a while
Asuna seemed to have thought of something, and smiled at Lu Qing and said:
"Lu Jun, then I'll go first, you'll be here at noon, I'll come back to cook when the time comes, you should also have a lot of high-end ingredients on you, and you will give them all to me at that time."
"Goodbye Lu Jun!"
As she spoke, Asuna walked outside, her voice slowly dissipating into the room.
"Good!"
Looking at Asuna's departing back, Lu Qing opened his mouth, his right hand moved, his expression was a little complicated, and a slight murmur came out of his mouth.
"Alas!"
Lu Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I'm a big man who is a little sentimental......"
Is Asuna really what she appears to be?
Of course not.
But Asuna can handle her feelings very well, and she doesn't let her emotions control her reason, and understands that some things can't be answered immediately.
And now there are still some things to deal with, so Asuna doesn't expose her thoughts to her face.
Asuna is very smart and beautiful, although she was born into a wealthy family, she does not have the character of a so-called daughter.
It can be seen from the way she feels to outsiders.
She is smart and meticulous, can handle gains and losses well, and has the demeanor of a strong woman.
However, Lu Qing is a little sentimental now, looking forward to Asuna's answer very much, and even hopes that Asuna is willing to leave with him.
But thinking that Asuna would have to leave her relatives and friends with her, and maybe even say goodbye to heaven and man forever, Lu Qing's thoughts changed a little.
Although there are other solutions, those methods are not yet available to Lu Qing, so Lu Qing did not consider them.
Therefore, after Lu Qing understood Asuna's thoughts, he was a little self-deprecating.
His real age is almost six years older than Asuna, and he hasn't done things as well as Asuna.
But, does Lu Qing really understand what Asuna is thinking at this time?
The answer is not known for the time being!
Bang Bang Bang!
Raising his hand and patting both sides of his face gently, Lu Qing took a deep breath, suppressed all the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and walked towards the door.
Next, you still need to do your best to level up!
Because this is a preparation for dealing with Heathcliff.
Heathcliff, as Akihiko Kayaba's role in SAO, naturally doesn't need to guess what his strength is.
After all, Heatscliff is known as the 'strongest man' by many players, and it is said that no lord boss has ever been able to reduce his HP to less than 40% when facing a lord boss.
Before Kirito's unique skill 'Nitoryu Flow' was revealed, Heathcliff was currently the only player with the unique skill 'Holy Sword' in SAO.
As one of the creators of this SAO, and now the only administrator in SAO, Kayaba Akihiko is not less open to himself.
Therefore, Lu Qing is not sure if he is strong enough now!
Although Lu Qing was sure that he should be stronger than Kirito, he had not seen Kirito's second sword stream, so he was not sure how much stronger Lu Qing could be.
Maybe it's not much stronger.
After all, 'Second Knife Flow' is also a powerful skill like a bug.
Now that he has joined, the strategy of the floor is faster than the original work, so Lu Qing set the time for his decisive battle with Heathcliff three months later.
Three months later, no matter what, Lu Qing will go to Heathcliff and expose Heathcliff's identity in public.
Then what Lu Qing has to do is to do his best to defeat Heathcliff and let SAO successfully clear the level.
As for what Heathcliffe was going to do, Lu Qing didn't care, and he didn't want to care.
Because Lu Qing is homesick!
With a black cloak coat to cover his face, Lu Qing silently left the twenty-second floor and headed to the seventy-first floor, only there was suitable for the current Lu Qing.
With Lu Qing's current strength, except for a few monsters or bosses in the seventy-first layer, the rest of the monsters can't put any pressure on Lu Qing at all.
Even those who can hurt Lu Qing are estimated to be the only ones left with the lord boss!
But no matter what, now the lord boss has no strategy, so Lu Qing can only use quantity to make up for quality.
It just so happens that the amount of experience required to level up is also massive.
In addition to the level, what Lu Qing has to do is to collect materials and see if he can strengthen the equipment on his body.
Up to now, the equipment on his body has been strengthened by Lu Qing to a limit.
If it continues to be strengthened, it will be difficult for even the current Lu Qing to do it.
Because the materials required for the subsequent reinforcement are also extremely amazing, not only in quantity, but also in quality.
The most powerful and well-known weapons in the SAO are undoubtedly Kirito's black and white sword interpreter and dark chaser, as well as Asuna's sword.
Rapier: Flashing Light!
But Lu Qing's Evil Lan will definitely not be weaker than the above three weapons, and even strengthened so far, maybe it will be stronger than the above three.
Although it may only be a little stronger, in Lu Qing's hands, even a little bit can open up a long distance.
