In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed, and the time has come to December 24, 2023, almost a year has passed since SAO became a death game.

Luo Tianhuan stayed in the black cat group on a moonlit night for more than a month, and after more than a month, under the training and guidance of Luo Tianhuan and Kirito, the strength of Keita and others increased rapidly, and the tragedy in the original book was avoided.

For more than a month, the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group has become much stronger, recruiting many new members, and the scale is also getting bigger little by little, gradually getting on the right track, and there is no need to worry anymore, so Luo Tianhuan and Kirito left.

After all, Luo Tianhuan still has to complete the quest task, and he can't spend time with the moonlit night black cat group all the time, and after leaving the moonlit night black cat group, he once again started the journey of swiping alone and guarding the boss and brushing equipment alone.

As for Kirito, he is an important member of the strategy group, although in the past month or so, he will participate in the strategy actions of the strategy group from time to time, but in general, it is not as active as before, which makes many players dissatisfied, so, after helping the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group to get on the right track, he quit the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group, became a lone ranger again, returned to the front line, and devoted himself to SAO's strategy.

However, after staying in the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group for so long, Luo Tianhuan and the people of the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group have become completely familiar, so that after leaving the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group, there are several more names in his friends column, which has always been empty, Kirito, Yukito, Keita, etc., so that they can easily contact each other.

And after getting in touch, the relationship between Luo Tianhuan and the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group has also developed to the point of cooperation.

Every once in a while, Luo Tianhuan will trade all the equipment, props, items and other things that are useless to him from the monster farming to the Moonnight Black Cat Group, so that they can help them deal with these items and exchange them for Keer coins, and the Moonlight Black Cat Group can take a part of the handling fee from the extraction, or take out some equipment that is useful to them.

After all, in

Selling items in the PC store, it can only be described as equivalent exchange, and let the people of the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group operate, then the value of the item will rise a lot, and in the end, Luo Tianhuan not only did not lose, but even made a lot of money, and the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group can also make a lot of money because of it.

Besides, those useless equipment in Luo Tian's phantom eyes, in the eyes of the people of the Moonlit Night Black Cat Troupe, are rare and superb, and with it, the strength of the Moonlit Night Black Cat Regiment has developed rapidly, and the scale has expanded rapidly, making Xing, who is responsible for managing logistics and handling guild affairs, very busy every day, and she, Qitai and others have also become veterans of the Moonlit Night Black Cat Troupe.

Of course, not only Luo Tianfan, but Kirito will also contribute to the Moonlit Night Black Cat Troupe.

As a result, the relationship between Luo Tianhuan, Kirito and the Moonlit Night Black Cat Group has become closer because of this, and Keita, Yuki and others are very grateful to them.

In addition to the rise of the black cat group on a moonlit night, SAO has also happened a variety of things, but what people are most concerned about is always SAO's strategy progress, in half a year, now, the player's strategy progress has gone from 31 to 55 floors, and the Ian Grant strategy has been reduced by more than half of the layers!

Naturally, from the 31st floor to the 55th floor, half of them were raided by Luo Tianhuan alone, and some of them were lucky by Luo Tianhuan, and they found the room of the guard boss by brushing it, and then knocked down the guard boss, and some of them got the information from the intelligence broker, and then defeated the guard boss in front of the strategy group.

I'll rob your boss, bite me if you have the ability!

This was Luo Tianhuan's silent taunt to the entire Raiders group.

As a result, the fame of Luo Tianfan, the strongest player, completely resounded throughout Ayn Grant, reaching another peak, and the name of the black-clothed sword god was absolutely unknown to everyone!

People only know that the black-clothed sword god who is said to be so powerful that he can clear the 55th floor of Ayn Grant alone, but none of them know that the legend in their mouths is extremely depressed when they hear their praises.

With Luo Tianfan's strength, it is not very difficult for him to brush the boss alone.

After all, having the strength to be able to defend the boss alone, and the strength to be able to crisscross the maze area, and to conquer so many layers alone, this is only a matter of time for Luo Tianhuan, but the problem of time is the big problem!

Come to think of it, he was alone, running around in the labyrinth area, and he could only rely on himself to find the room where the boss was guarded.

And there are so many people in the strategy group, maybe the strength of all the people can make Luo Tianhuan face it squarely, but the so-called large number of people is powerful, at least when looking for the room where the boss is guarded, the side with a large number of people naturally occupies a considerable advantage.

Because of this, often when Luo Tianhuan was struggling to find the room of the guard boss in the labyrinth area, the strategy team had already entered the location of the guard boss, and then, it didn't take long for the news of customs clearance to reach the ears of Luo Tianhuan, who was still looking for the guard boss.

In this regard, Luo Tianhuan was all kinds of unhappy, but he was helpless and very aggrieved.

So, the unwilling Luo Tianhuan got up early every day and went to the maze area in the dark, just to be able to find the room of the boss one step earlier than the strategy group, and then kill the boss.

Perhaps, in the subconscious, Luo Tianhuan will more or less want to compete with the strategy group, this is also in order for him to have some fun, otherwise he will kill monsters all day long, the time may be nothing, but after a long time, it will be too boring, and it will not be interesting at all.

In a way, the strategy group is really a competitor of Luo Tianfan.

Of course, those who can treat the entire strategy group as a competitor, whether it is psychologically or in terms of strength, only Luo Tianhuan has such qualifications.

It's December 24th, and in the real world, it's already Christmas.

I don't know if it's Akihiko Kayaba's bad taste, but SAO also ushered in Christmas, from the daytime, the first floor to the 55th floor, there are pure white snowflakes, and the town is also hung with Christmas trees and various decorations to suit the occasion, full of festive atmosphere.

"A year has passed." Sitting in front of the warm fireplace, looking at the goose feather snow falling outside the window not far away, Luo Tianhuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

Maybe it's because of the heavy snow, or maybe it's because it's Christmas, so it's rare for Luo Tianhuan not to go to the maze area according to his daily routine, but to stay at home quietly, make a pot of black tea, take a leisurely rest, close his eyes and recuperate, and give himself a day's rest.

As for Luo Tianhuan's home, of course, he bought it, and he bought a chic wooden house on the 22nd floor.

The surroundings of the chalet are beautiful, there is a forest around it, and in addition to the forest there are hills, lakes, and villages, which complement each other and complement each other to form a very beautiful picture, which is simply a paradise.

In the original book, Kirito took Asuna to this place for her honeymoon in the later part of SAO, which shows how beautiful this place is.

Of course, Luo Tianhuan didn't rob Kirito and Asuna's honeymoon house, after all, it was Kirito and Asuna's home, and if he robbed it himself, it would feel weird, so he bought another wooden house a few hundred meters away, and when he was bored, he went fishing on the lake.

Originally, when choosing a house, Luo Tianhuan hesitated for a long time on the 22nd and 47th floors of Floreya, the 47th floor of Floria is known as the Garden of Flowers, as the name suggests, there are all kinds of colorful flowers everywhere, and the scenery is also very beautiful, so it is also a good choice to buy a house there.

It's just that since Floria on the 47th floor is a sea of flowers, it is naturally also a holy place for couples to date.

Therefore, Luo Tianhuan finally chose here, and Kirito, fortunately, they will also come here from time to time to play with him.

Bite~~~

Just when Luo Tianhuan closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, a sound from the game system broke the silence of this cabin.

Damn, that's how to pick the time......

Being woken up, Luo Tianhuan pursed his lips with some complaint, and clicked on the email in front of him.

"I'll go, it turned out to be that profiteer, and now I want to sleep but can't sleep, it's so annoying."

The profiteer in Luo Tianhuan's mouth is the most famous intelligence dealer in SAO, Argo, who is nicknamed a rat by people, claims that as long as she has information, she will sell it, and even her own ability value is the same, but there is one thing she will never sell, that is, the information of closed beta players.

As for why she has the title of a mouse, Luo Tian thinks it's funny.

A few months ago, because of Kirito's recommendation, Luo Tianhuan also knew Argo, the biggest intelligence agent in SAO, and was very curious about why she had a beard on her face and why she had the title of mouse, so after trading information a few times, Luo Tianhuan asked a gossip, and was told by Argo that as long as he paid two million Kel coins, he would tell himself the reason.

As a result, Luo Tianhuan didn't say a word, and with the psychology of neither bad money nor gossip, he directly paid two million Keer coins, and asked her to tell the original reason.

Although Luo Tianhuan is not bad for money, but for paying so many coins at one time, even if these coins are virtual, Luo Tianhuan is still very distressed, and he is even more convinced that Argo is a big profiteer through and through.

In fact, it is not surprising to say that the beard on Argo's face is due to the punishment for failing to complete a certain task during the closed beta, plus she always speaks with a characteristic nasal voice, as well as short golden brown curly hair, these characteristics combine to always make people think of some kind of rodent, that is, rats, so during the closed beta, the name of the intelligence agent mouse Argo came up like this.

And because the name of the mouse has been spread, in order to continue to sell information at the end of the closed beta, that is, after the official start of the service, Argo also planned to break the jar and fall, and took the initiative to draw three pairs of mustaches on his face, continuing his title of rat.

However, others may not know, but those who are with Argobook know that the main reason why she charges so much for intelligence is because she wants to fund those players at the lower levels, help them become stronger, or keep them from starving.

This is the same as Kirito's other good friend - Achille, he is also a representative of a profiteer, and now he has opened a weapon shop on the 50th floor, buying at a low price, and then selling at a high price, which is his favorite thing to do, but in fact, he will also use the money he earns to fund those middle and lower level players in private, which is why Luo Tianhuan often takes care of his business after he met him through Kirito.

"Hmm...... What kind of interesting information is there this time...... "Every time Luo Tianhuan makes a transaction with Argo, she asks her to package all the latest, or strange, or mission activities and other information, and then settle it, which can be regarded as Luo Tianfan's way of sponsoring her, after all, it is good to have enough money."

"Huh?"

When he turned to the last page boringly, Luo Tianhuan saw a holiday event information.

On Christmas Eve, late tonight, under a large pine tree in the Lost Forest on the 35th floor, there will be a small boss in Christmas clothes, named Nicholas the Apostate, who is said to burst out of its body with a rare item - the Holy Quartz of Resurrection, and what shocks players even more is that this item can resurrect players who have died!

"I almost forgot that there was this thing, yes, tonight is Christmas Eve, and the plot has only developed to this stage, so slow."

Casually closing the email, Luo Tianhuan closed his eyes again and continued to take a nap.

Although he doesn't seem to be interested in this event, in fact, he is bored, and he plans to go and see it and join in the fun, but ah, it's only noon, why are you going so early, blowing a cold wind?

So, anyway, there is still a lot of time to sleep and recuperate first.
