The tip of the line hanging on the surface of the lake was tied to the float, but the float didn't even move. Staring at the soft light dancing on the water, but thinking silently in my heart.

It's been more than ten days since I moved to the twenty-second floor. In order to pass the time, Zhang Yu occasionally fishes here to hone his mood.

System Stele: The host needs to complete the following three main origin tasks in order to successfully return to the real world.

[Mission 1: Participate in the Sword Art Online Open Beta] (Completed)

[Task 2: Kill 30 Defending Bosses Alone] (Uncompleted)

[Task 3: Protect the world's luck heroine Asuna successfully logs out of Sword Art Online normally] (unfinished)

【Complete Side Hidden Mission: Rescue Celica】

[Complete Side Hidden Quest: Scavenger of Sin" (Eliminate 10 Red Players - Hint: The more you kill, the bigger the reward)

[Mission time: 2 years] (12 days left in 1 year)

[Quest rewards, issued after leaving the world after the quest is completed]

Zhang Yu's mind flashed over the completion of the main quest and began to analyze the situation.

He has now killed twenty-six boss guards, four of which are missing. Now that SAO has reached the seventy-first level, it can be said that nearly half of the bosses have been brushed by him and Asuna.

I can't help but be glad that the completion condition is a single team, not a single single boss. Otherwise, I really don't even have time to catch my breath.,Even if I'm always picking a defending boss that is relatively suitable for a single brush.。

As for protecting Asuna from SAO, this needs to be well prepared.

There are only two ways, one is to clear a hundred layers of bosses. There's not so much time to waste, just give up.

The second is to expose the true face of Heathcliff, the leader of the Blood Alliance Knights, that is, to directly fight with Kayaba Akihiko. Now his level and equipment are not at the peak. Although he has spent ten hours a day training, even when Asuna is asleep, he secretly runs out to level up.

With superb sword skills and efficient monster farming, the experience level is already the first among players. Equipping weapons is also extremely luxurious, surpassing everyone else. But Zhang Yu still didn't have much confidence, after all, he was the creator of the game. With the movement of a finger, you can surpass him.

So what Zhang Yu has to do is to comprehend, the ability of Kirito to defeat Kayaba Jinghiko in the original book. In order to successfully complete the task, there is only one chance. had to gamble on all the winning conditions that could be exploited.

And before that, there are a lot of little tails waiting for him to deal with in real Japan.

Silica is indeed a side quest, and the red player is not as surprised by him. triggered the side quest, otherwise Zhang Yuzhen would not have been idle to find the red name to kill. After all, cooking with Asuna all the time is not beautiful.

Red player, and a big cake - a smiling coffin waiting for him to eat. If this idea is known to others, it is estimated that they will look at Zhang Yu like a monster. can take the SAO No. 1 Red Guild [Smile Coffin] as a prey, it is estimated that he is the only one who dares to think so. Of course, except for the creator of the game, Akihiko Kayaba, who is a person who can be opened at any time.

Zhang Yu yawned and pulled the fishing rod back. The silver hook at the tip of the line is just empty and shiny. The hanging bait is long gone.

"I don't want to fish anymore......"

Zhang Yu looked at the fishing hook speechlessly, then casually threw the fishing rod aside, and then the whole person lay down. The wind blowing across the lake was slightly cool, but the cold-proof jacket made by Asuna with her tailoring skills still made Zhang Yu's body and heart feel warm.

Ayn Grant is now gradually entering the fall. Autumn is the right autumn in Japan, unlike some cities in China where there is only summer and winter. Although it is almost autumn, in the game, fishing has nothing to do with the season.

Zhang Yu had a happy smile on his face, and then continued to lie on the ground thinking about his thoughts. Suddenly, a voice came from the beginning:

"How's it going?"

"It's not like that, I'm not fishing fodder."

Zhang Yu doesn't have to look back to know who it is, it is Mr. Nishida, who will appear in the original book. He fishes here and often encounters Nishida.

He wears a hat to cover the sun in addition to his autumn clothes and holds a fishing rod. He is over 50 years old, and his face with iron-rimmed glasses is engraved with wrinkles that indicate that he has just entered old age. In SAO, which is full of heavy gamers, it is quite rare for players to be so old.

Nishida is an exception, as he is a angler in the game and the head of security in Japan in charge of managing the network company connected to the SAO server farm. Because I want to confirm the results of my work with my own eyes, I refuse to accept the old and encounter this kind of thing.

Nishida smiled and slowly walked down the dirt slope. After sitting down next to Zhang Yu, taking out the bait box from the small bag on his waist, he called out the pop-up menu with an unaccustomed gesture, and hung up the bait after selecting the fishing rod. Throwing the rod out with smooth movements, you can feel that he should be a master of fishing even in the real world.

At this time, the float on the end of Nishida's line began to rise and sink violently. Nishida moves his wrist exactly to the rhythm of the rod. His own fishing skills should be very good, and the value of his fishing skills is quite high.

"Hey, take the bait!"

Zhang Yu raised his head slightly and glanced at the lake, and Nishida leisurely manipulated the fishing rod beside him, pulling a large fish that glowed blue out of the water in one breath. After a few jumps in Nishida's hand, the fish automatically folds into the inventory and disappears.

"Not bad......!"

Nishida scratched his head embarrassedly and said:

"It's okay, but you bring ...... today"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Yu smiled and took out a small bottle from the small bag beside him and handed it to Xitian.

"Here, you want soy sauce. Remember, two fish for one bottle. You're one more than one short. ”

Nishida hugged the small bottle of soy sauce, and a happy smile overflowed his face.

"It's a gift from God, I don't know how you make this homemade soy sauce. There is no seasoning in SAO at all, and this is the only treasure that misses reality. ”

Zhang Yu didn't speak, this was done by him and Asuna in their spare time. Smiled and closed his eyes and lay down on the grass again, waiting for Nishida to continue to catch a second fish.

It didn't take long for Zhang Yu to take the two fish he had harvested, carry the fishing rod and hum a small tune.

"I'm back."

As soon as I pushed the door open and walked in, I heard the pleasant voice of Asuna's silver bell.

"Welcome back, hard work. Jade, let's sit down and rest. ”

Asuna was wearing a simple long skirt and linen shirt, hanging an apron and a headscarf, looking at Zhang Yu at the door with a smile on her face. It's like a little wife watching her husband come home.

At this moment, Zhang Yu felt that the most correct thing in his whole life was to meet Asuna. He smiled at Asuna, walked into the living room and went to the sofa next to the stove, looking at Asuna helplessly.

"Asuna, I only brought back two more fish."

"Hehe, Jade. Maybe fishing isn't for you. ”

Asuna reached out and covered her mouth, letting out a crisp laugh. Apparently she knew that those two fish were exchanged with Nishida, and it wasn't the first time.

"Yes. That may be true, I'm only fit to eat fish. ”

Zhang Yu pretended to be thoughtful and nodded. Asuna turned and went into the kitchen and walked out with a tray.

"Really, Jade. After you taught me how to cook, I never cooked again. ”

Asuna pursed her rosy lips when she heard Zhang Yu say this. Walking over with a tray, he bent down and gently placed the teapot and cup on the coffee table in front of the sofa. He said to him with a pretended complaint.

"Because I think eating Asuna's food makes me happier."

Zhang Yu looked at Asuna's delicate face in front of him seriously, revealing unconcealed love in his eyes.

"Alright, I'll go cook first."

Asuna was stared at by Zhang Yu's fiery eyes, and her little face was also flushed. Panicked excuses to cook, ran into the kitchen.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu shook his head with a smile. Picked up the black tea on the coffee table in front of him and took a sip.

The two of them already knew their intentions, and they only needed a layer of window paper to pierce it. One is a young beautiful girl who has never been in love, and the other is a sunny little virgin who has been in love. Under the pressure of the game of death, the two have not yet spread their cards.
