"What do you want me to do?" Asuna looked at Zhou Chao with a serious face and asked.

"It's the same as before." Zhou Chaodao.

"Acting as your backpack and ATM?" The clever Asuna understood what the Zhou Dynasty meant almost immediately.

"Yes, but this time we have to go one step further and act as our agent."

"Proxy what?" Asuna asked, puzzled.

"It takes a lot of materials to make a device to get out of the game, but in my case with Lala, you know that we can't use the system of the SAO world, so I want you to step in and trade for us and the other trapped players in this world to get the supplies we need."

"In-game materials can also be crafted out of devices?" Asuna said with a look of disbelief.

"Naturally, the materials in the game alone can't, but after the transformation of Lala, it can." Zhou Chao said with a somewhat proud expression. Although this pride does not come from himself, who makes Lala his companion, it is still okay to have a little honor.

At this time, Asuna finally looked at Lala, who had been subconsciously ignored by her to play the role of soy sauce, with serious eyes, but in addition to feeling very cute and simple, I really couldn't see that she had the temperament of a computer expert.

Then, Asuna, who didn't look out of Lala, retracted her gaze, looked at Zhou Chao again, and said, "The materials you need should be rare, right?" We've just cleared the second layer together, and players haven't had time to explore the world of the second layer in a hurry, and they may not be able to collect what you want in a short time. ”

"Wrong, on the contrary, the materials we need are actually very ordinary, that is, ordinary gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, crystal, and other ores, which are not only easy to harvest, but even in the weapons stores in the town, it is possible to buy finished ingots, but the difficulty is that we need a lot of types, and the amount may be very large, which requires your help." Zhou Chao sighed.

After a pause, Asuna frowned and continued, "In addition to that, we also need to find some reliable and trustworthy Artisan professional players who can help us build the intermediate products we need, and this is the hardest part of the whole problem. ”

Hearing this, Asuna's brows, which were already furrowed, became even tighter, and a distressed look appeared on her face.

"Last question, why did you choose me?" After a while, Asuna, who had temporarily given up thinking, stared at Zhou Chao's eyes with a serious expression and asked, "Although this kind of thing seems complicated, basically anyone can do it, I don't believe you haven't met other players before me." After all, we had only met for the first time before, and even now we had only been together for less than a day, and there was no reason for you to entrust such a big matter to a stranger like me. ”

"It's worthy of Asuna, it's really admirable that she can be so calm in the face of the ** who can return to the outside world." Zhou Chao looked at Asuna, who looked beautiful and young in front of him, but looked heroic at this time, with a sigh on his face.

Asuna, who heard Zhou Chao's sigh, frowned, and stared at him with suspicion in her eyes.

"You know me?" Asuna asked.

"Sort of." Zhou Chao shook his head slightly and said.

"What do you mean?" Asuna asked with the posture of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

"Well, I know you." The Zhou dynasty was defeated.

"Who are you?" Asuna asked.

"Zhou Chao, a guy who has never had any contact with you, so you don't have to think about my origin and identity at all, just know that we have a way to get out of this world and prepare to put it into action."

Asuna looked at Zhou Chao quietly, and then glanced at Lala, who had always been happy, and didn't know what the troubles were, nodded and agreed, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you." I hope what you say is true. ”

"Thank you." Seeing Asuna's agreement, Zhou Chao exhaled softly and smiled.

"Also, when you were in the boss room before, I hated the attitude towards that player, although it is indeed wrong for him to be suspicious of people, but he is just out of control because of the death of his companion, so I hope there will be no next time for this kind of thing, otherwise I would rather give up cooperation with you!" Asuna stared at Zhou Chao's eyes with a stern expression and said in a deep voice.

"......, I see." Zhou Chao and Asuna looked at each other for a few seconds, then lowered their eyes and replied softly.

"Hmph." Asuna snorted softly, turned around and walked away from Zhou Chao's face.

"Zhou Chao, are you okay?" Lala looked at Zhou Chao beside her with a worried look and asked.

"It's fine." Zhou Chao shook his head and said.

"Zhou Dynasty!" But who knows, this time, Lala, who has always been good-tempered and well-behaved, suddenly changed her expression, jumped off the ground and walked in front of Zhou Chao, stretched out her hands to pinch Zhou Chao's cheeks, stared at him with an angry look and shouted, "We are good friends, right?" ”

Zhou Chao nodded.

"Then why can't you tell me something? Could it be that good friends or something, are they all lies? At this time, Lala's expression changed again, her eyes were full of tears, and she said with a sad face.

"......, I'm sorry." Looking at Lala, who was about to cry, Zhou Chao sighed helplessly, raised his right hand and bent his fingers to wipe away the tears accumulated in Lala's eyes, and said apologetically, "I'm just a little irritable, it's not that there's something wrong with what you think, as for why I don't tell you, I just don't want you to follow me blindly." ”

"Really?" Lala asked with a pitiful look and wide eyes.

"Really." Zhou Chao nodded in affirmation.

"Oh." Lala, who received an affirmative reply, burst into tears, raised her hand to wipe the tears in her eye frame thoroughly, and then asked a little strangely, "Why does Zhou Chao feel upset?" Is it because of the environment we are in now? ”

"There's a part." Zhou Chao let go of his hand and pulled Lala back to the edge of the flower bed beside him.

"Why is that?" Lala was puzzled.

"Because of Tiaberu." Zhou Chao sighed.

"The dead captain?" Lala tilted her head and thought about it, before she remembered who Tiabero was.

"Yes." Zhou Chao nodded, and then said as if he wanted to vent, "The rules of this imaginary space are different from the imaginary space you created, and they are also different from the rules of the games on the home consoles you have played before...... Originally, it had nothing to do with us, but today Tiabero is different, his death could have been prevented......"

"Like the accusatory guys say?"

"There are some differences." Zhou Chao thought for a moment and said.

"Oh."

“…… I don't know what I thought at the time, but I didn't save him at that critical time, so in a way, I was seeing death and watching Tiabelu die...... That feeling is really bad! ”

As he spoke, Zhou Chao bowed and covered his cheeks with his hands, looking faceless and decadent.

However, just when Zhou Chao thought that Lala would be disgusted with him and ignore him, Lala's beautiful voice rang in Zhou Chao's ears again

"Not really." Lala said softly.

Zhou Chao raised his head in surprise and looked at Lala.

"I have observed, when you were fighting, maybe the death of the man named Tiabelu was related to the failure of the Zhou Dynasty to save him, but his own behavior was also an important cause of his death." "If he hadn't chosen to go up and fight the boss alone at that time, but had continued to follow the previous arrangement and let all the main team members fight together, he wouldn't have died at all." ”

"And before that, when he rushed to the boss, the guy named Kirito also reminded him, and Tiabero also heard it, but he didn't heed the advice to step back, and still chose to stick to the boss alone, which is one of the reasons for his final tragedy."

"So on the very long way to the death of Tiabero he was to blame, and he did not blame anyone else. As for the problem that Zhou Chao didn't make a move, at most, it just ruled out the variables that might save zài, not the main reason, you know, we are outsiders to this world, even if there is no us, the action of the Raider Boss will continue, and Tiabelu should continue to choose solo action in the end, so Zhou Chao's save zài just adds to the possibility of his survival. ”

Hearing what Lala said, Zhou Chao's whole mood was inexplicably relaxed, and the irritability in his heart disappeared, and he became peaceful again.

"Thank you, Lala." Zhou Chao was moved by the Chao Lala and thanked. But the next moment, Lala's words changed, and she said with a serious face, "However, Zhou Chao's behavior this time is not right, since he has the ability to help others, why stand by and watch?" So don't do this again in the future after the Zhou Dynasty. ”

"Yes." Zhou Chao nodded heavily and agreed.

"Hey, hey." Lala smiled and became happy again.

"I'm also close to Zhu Zhechi, right?" Looking at Lala, who was smiling innocently, Zhou Chao couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.

And from this day on, Asuna completely joined the team, and during the day, with the Zhou Dynasty and Lala went to the wild to fight monsters and raise money and materials. In the evening, he takes on the role of a merchant, and contacts the players who have reached the second floor in the free market of the town, discussing the purchase of materials and finding suitable artisan professional players.

In this way, more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

And the result is also very good, with the hard work of Asuna, the three of the Zhou Dynasty hoarded a lot of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, aluminum, crystal, quartz and other ores in their hands, and finally reached the Cheng Dù where the first batch of items could be manufactured.
