More than half a year has passed since SAO became a death game, and at this time, Ein Grant has already reached the 25th floor, and the boss room on this floor is being explored.
"Yo~! I knew you were hiding here, I really don't know who the president is! β
A sweet female voice woke Rollin from her sleep, which was a very irritating thing, but Rollin couldn't get angry with the man.
"It's you, Asuna. Don't you know that it's rude to disturb someone's nap? β
"Nap? I think you've been sleeping since last night, right? I don't know who can sleep better than you! β
"Absolutely!"
Luo Lin clenched his hands into fists, looked at the ceiling with longing and said: "In that distant Gensokyo, there is an existence named Zi Ma, she is sleepy in spring, lack of sleep in summer, and hibernate again in winter, she is really a model of my generation!" β
"You're here again, give me a good understanding of reality!"
Asuna put her hand on her forehead, looking helpless.
Ever since the team-up half a year ago, when Rollin stalked each other and added each other as friends, Asuna felt like her suffering had begun.
You must know that with her conditions, there is never a shortage of suitors around her, but no matter how good those suitors are, as long as they get close, Asuna will involuntarily have a sense of disgust, as if it is a conditioned reflex. I don't know why, no matter how Rollin stalks, Asuna will only feel helpless, and will not show emotions such as hate, which is simply a miracle in Asuna's own eyes.
In particular, Rollin's occasional inadvertent sad expression touched Asuna's heart even more, so that she couldn't help but approach Rollin, wanting to know what was hidden behind his usual smile.
This is actually the influence of the world's goodwill, and all the creatures in the world will unconsciously have a good impression of Rollin. Of course, this kindness does not affect the mind or even violate one's own principles. That is to say, even if a murderous maniac has a good impression of Rollin, he will still kill when he should kill, at most he will be happy when he kills, and he will not make Rollin feel pain.
But even so, it's a very changeable. The ability of the state, at least in the pursuit of girls, is simply a miracle skill.
Unlike in the original plot, because of the addition of Rollin, under his influence, Asuna's heart has gradually opened, no longer closing herself, but beginning to accept this new world.
By the way, when he reached the third layer, Luo Lin really registered a guild and named it [Light of Freedom].
As the first and only guild at that time, it naturally attracted a lot of players, especially Luo Lin gave a condition that many people couldn't refuse, that is, players who didn't want to go to the wild to kill monsters and upgrade could live in the guild's building as a full-time living player, and the guild would give corresponding living subsidies according to the works they handed in every day.
This is undoubtedly a great thing for those who don't have the guts to face the monsters, and they can get a good quality of life without risking their lives, which is simply perfect for them. It's like the relationship between the employee and the boss, but there is no need to worry about hurting some people's self-esteem and causing some unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, when Rollin openly recruited members, there were only a few thousand players left, and more than 2,000 people came at once, most of whom wanted to become full-time life professional players.
Luo Lin selected some of the high-income guilds with higher life and occupation levels, and even so, the number of members of the guild reached more than 800 people.
This undoubtedly brought huge pressure to Rollin, after all, he not only had to manage the affairs of the guild, but also was responsible for the supply of materials for these people, even if his chances of dropping treasure were amazing, it was unbearable for a while. In the initial period, Luo Lin had already spent a lot of energy just dealing with these things, and even missed the boss strategy several times.
It wasn't until one time, when Asuna came to him, that Rollin stalked her as if he had seen a savior, and he dragged her into his guild.
At that time, Luo Lin's idea was very simple, in the original plot, Asuna was the deputy head of the Scarlet Knights of the First Guild, and she was the commander of the strategy group, and her ability was undoubted. Of course, Luo Lin is also a little selfish, as the so-called building near the water gets the moon first, how could he miss such a good opportunity.
Asuna is also really capable, and she has organized the originally messy guild in an orderly manner, and she has also recruited some combat professional players in the future, and separated from the production group full of life players to become a combat group.
Although there are not many members of the combat team, only about twenty people, but with the huge logistical support of the production team, no one is top in terms of strength or equipment, and most of them are members of the strategy group.
Also, the things made by the production team are available to all players, and although they are leftovers from some combat teams, they are much better and cheaper than the ones they buy from NPCs. This measure has greatly reduced the pressure on Rollin, and even after the consumption of the entire guild in the last two months, there is still a part of the surplus.
Watching the guild develop in a better direction little by little, Luo Lin sighed more than once that he had made the right decision at the beginning. It can be said that when it comes to [Light of Freedom] now, there are few players who don't know it.
Therefore, in line with the principle that those who can work more and do not add to the chaos themselves, Luo Lin will always disappear from time to time. For this reason, Asuna was not less angry and itchy, but every time she caught Rollin back, as long as she didn't pay attention, Rollin would definitely slip away again.
As a result, the game of hide and seek between Rollin and Asuna has become a daily activity in the guild, and I have even heard that some people have opened a betting market to bet on how long it will take Asuna to catch Rollin back every time Rollin disappears.
But in addition, Rollin is still a relatively qualified president, such as providing a lot of crafting materials for the living players in the guild for free, of course, he is also the first to choose if there are good things. For example, on each floor of the strategy, Luo Lin will buy a relatively large property as a guild station, which leads to himself being a representative of the local tyrant in the eyes of many players.
And then there's ...... Well, Rollin seems to have done two things for the guild.
By the way, the really good things are kept by him, and the ones given to the guild are second-class, but even so, there are many materials that are difficult for ordinary players to obtain, so no one can blame him for anything in this regard.
Because of his high-level material practice, Luo Lin has now practiced several life occupations to the master level, and because of his luck against the sky, as long as he plays normally, none of the things he makes are below the excellent quality.
"Asuna, don't frown all the time when you're young, it's easy to get old fast."
"Who do you think this is doing?"
Asuna didn't accept Roland's kind reminder, but yelled at Rollin even more angrily: "You are also the president of [Light of Freedom], how much self-consciousness has given me!" β
"I see, I still have the identity of the president!"
Luo Lin suddenly hammered his palm as if he had just remembered, and then locked the quilt tightly.
"You give me a little bit of moderation!"
Asuna finally got angry and lifted Rollin's quilt directly, then pressed her thin sword against Rollin's throat.
"Are you sober now, Lord?"
"Wake up, wake up, I'm fully awake!"
Rollin nodded hurriedly, although he also knew that in this house, Asuna could not cause harm to him, and he also had the right to expel Asuna, but he didn't know why seeing Asuna's anger, Rollin felt furious and confessed very simply.
"So, give me now, get up immediately, and meet the guild with me!"
βYesοΌsirοΌβ
Rollin subconsciously saluted back, and then he reacted, as if he was the president, and Asuna was just a vice president, why should he be afraid of her?
No wonder the older generation often say that the environment can change a person, and Asuna at this time is like two people compared to when the two first met. To be honest, Rollin regretted telling Asuna the location of her private property.
Although they are all 22-story forest huts, please make no mistake, this house in Rollin is not the one where Asuna and Kirito lived in seclusion in the original story. You must know that Luo Lin is much richer than Kirito, so the property he bought has a more beautiful environment, and it is also larger, not so much a cottage as a villa.
When Rollin invited Asuna here for the first time, Asuna inadvertently expressed her yearning, saying that she wanted to own a house like this in the future. At that time, Rollin said that she could move in and live together, but the embarrassed Asuna chased and cut her with a sword for ten minutes, and Rollin did not dare to mention it again.
"Rollin, why can't you be responsible, there have been a lot of things in the guild lately, and you have to explore the labyrinth area, and you have to distribute the production materials of those living players. Recently, there has been a shortage of manpower in the combat group, and it is necessary to pay close attention to recruiting new talents...... I've said so much, have you listened? β
Asuna crossed her fingers and told Rollin about the recent troubles encountered by the guild, but she didn't hear a response for a long time, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly turned around.
I saw that Luo Lin, who was already fully dressed, didn't know when he appeared at the door, and half of his body had already gone out.
Seeing that Asuna had found herself, Rollin hurriedly sped up her movements, ran out, and used the teleportation crystal in her hand.
"Asuna, when I finish Labor Day, I will go back to the guild, and I will trouble you during this period!"
"Rollin, you bastard!"
Asuna chased after her to the door, but at this time, there was still Rollin.
"Humph! Rollin, don't think you'll be able to get away with it! β
Asuna had a hint of cunning in her eyes, then swiped down with her left hand, opened the system bulletin board, and released an announcement that had been written a long time ago.
