At eight o'clock the next morning, Zhang Yu had just finished his daily practice and came to the student apartment.

He took the key to Shino Asada's dormitory and opened the door. Looking at the empty dormitory, I knew that she had gone to school. Then he skillfully closed the door and lay down on the bed.

"It shouldn't be broken, I only used it once. If NERvGear burned out yesterday, it would have cost a lot to play SAO in the future. ”

Plug in the power cord of the NERvGear, then put a few yellow charms in it and put them on your head.

“link start！”

Consciousness dives into the game world.

Looking at the familiar colored pillar of light, Zhang Yu was very happy. This way, there is no need to run around to play games and earn money.

Zhang Yu logged into the game very smoothly.

A burst of blue light flashed, and Zhang Yu appeared in a quaint European-style study.

He stood at a desk with his back to him, and began to look around the room in confusion, not understanding how to log in.

"You're finally online, bug player."

A cold and low middle-aged man's voice sounded behind Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu turned around and looked, and sure enough, it was the Kayaba Jinghiko in a white coat.

"Bug player?"

Zhang Yu frowned and looked at Kayaba Jinghiko in front of him.

"It seems that he found out. Sure enough, I can't get around him. ”

Akihiko Kayaba supported her head with her left hand, and her other hand was naturally placed on the desk.

"I don't know what method you used, but you managed to log out yesterday, right? I've checked your information, but I can't find any of your information in Japan. You're not Japanese, are you? ”

He looked at Zhang Yu and said indifferently.

"Yes, I am Chinese." Zhang Yu also smiled and said very calmly and proudly.

"The Chinese... So be it. I'm not going to ask you how you can log out of the game. Just to balance the rules of the game, let's make an agreement. ”

"What agreement?" Zhang Yu asked in surprise.

"You don't have to go through the trouble of logging out in your own way, I can give you the right to log out of the game freely. However, if you die in the game, your account will be deleted. And you will also be banned from logging into SAO forever. ”

"Actually, I could have done it right away. But for the sake of respecting the rules of the game, I can't deprive you of the right to enjoy the game. ”

At this time, Akihiko Aoba had already changed her posture and put her hands together in front of her mouth. looked at Zhang Yu indifferently, not afraid that he would not compromise.

"Yes."

Zhang Yu thought about it and agreed. He simply had no other choice. In fact, I was still afraid for a while, and I felt that I couldn't be so hasty in the future. If you are permanently banned from logging in to SAO, then the main quest will not be a failure, but it will definitely be difficult to complete.

"Have fun, then."

Kayaba Jinghiko saw that Zhang Yu agreed, so he didn't waste any more time. "Dah." snapped his fingers.

A blue light flashed on Zhang Yu's body and disappeared into the room.

"What a smart Chinese, originally looking at his operating skills and neural reaction speed. The second knife stream should appear on him, but ...... Not anymore. As punishment for breaking the game. ”

Kayaba Jinghiko looked at the place where Zhang Yu disappeared and thought quietly.

Zhang Yu returned to the place where he had gone offline. I turned my head and looked around and saw that there were no other players.

"It's easy. However, the preparatory measures that should be done still have to be done, otherwise it will not be very bad to be killed by yin. The next step is to slowly upgrade. ”

He slowly walked out of the village and began his killing journey.

Soon a month passed. Zhang Yu is also a mediocre leveling and monster farming, occasionally taking time to brush up on the proficiency of the deputy level.

On December 2nd, in Alin Grant's first layer of Torbana, it was finally time to hold a strategy meeting for the first layer of bosses.

When Zhang Yu heard the news, he rushed to Torbana as soon as he went online early in the morning.

"I was promoted to level 15 in a month, and I spent a lot of time practicing my deputy position. The deputy positions have all been trained to the intermediate level, don't let me down. ”

During this time period, most frontline players are only about level ten, and Kirito is only level twelve. It can be seen how efficient Zhang Yu's leveling is at monster farming, he also logs out of the game every day, and also practices sub-professions. Those players have been staying in SAO and leveling up frantically, and their level is not as high as Zhang Yugao.

Zhang Yu smiled and walked to the meeting place with anticipation. There were also many other players walking there in groups along the way.

The location is in a semi-circular piazza similar to that of an ancient Roman Colosseum.

When Zhang Yu walked there, there were already many people sitting in twos and threes, and people were waiting.

Because of the first strategy defense boss meeting, there are not many players who come to it. After a while, the people who will come will come are almost there. There were only a few dozen players present, sparsely seated on the steps of the audience.

Zhang Yu saw many acquaintances, and the first thing he saw was a black man with a strong body, huge muscles tied and a serious expression, Andrew Kilbart Mills, who was carrying a big axe behind him.

Then he looked around for a few seconds, and finally saw a player wearing a crimson cloak with a hood in the seat of the penultimate row sitting quietly alone.

"Finally found you."

Zhang Yu walked over with a smile, and then stood in front of her naturally and casually. Gestured to the empty seat to her right.

"Hello, may I ask if there is no one sitting here?"

"Nope." A crisp, ethereal, slightly cold answer.

"That's good, then you're welcome."

Zhang Yu cheekily sat directly on Asuna's right hand.

Asuna reflexively moved to the left, slightly separating herself from Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu smiled and didn't care, but began to pay attention to the blue-haired back shield swordsman who walked to the center of the square.

"Bang bang."

Blue Fur first clapped to attract everyone's attention, and then began to speak loudly.

"Okay, so it's almost time to start."

A male player with a slender baby-faced facial features like a girl also took the opportunity to sit down not far from Zhang Yu's right hand, and he was staring at the blue hair in the center of the square with a cold face.

"Thank you for being invited today, I'm Diabel. Profession self-righteous knight. ”

Diabel's witty self-introduction caused laughter from the players present, as there was no class system at all. However, this also broke the atmosphere of everyone's seriousness and coldness.

"Today, our team found the boss's room on the top floor of that tower."

Diabel suddenly said with a serious expression. It caused an exclamation from the players present.

"We have to defeat the boss and get to the second level. Tell all of you who are still waiting in the starting town. This game of death will end one day. This is now our obligation to gather here. Yes, everyone! ”

This incendiary speech aroused the approval of the players present. Everyone smiled and nodded their heads and applauded in agreement.

Zhang Yu glanced at Asuna on the left, and found that she was still sitting silently and unresponsive.

"Then without further ado, let's start the strategy meeting now. First of all, please form a team of six people, the boss of the defending layer is not something that a normal team can fight against. Assemble the team and form a wing. ”

The sound of the scene began to be noisy, and Zhang Yu also smiled and looked at Asuna on the left.
