Chapter 64: Warm Dinner
“…………”
Listening to Zheng Shuanglong's words of lack of money, Asuna didn't know what to say, she quickly turned around and faced back, lowered her head and knocked the ground with the heels of her boots, making the ground make a "thump" sound. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Cole that lent Lizbet, Argo, and Sirika is almost four million, plus 500,000 Cole will be used every month to support the cultivation of middle-level players, how can there be no shortage of money for such behavior.
No matter how strong Zheng Shuanglong's strength is, no matter how efficient he is in fighting monsters, and he is struggling to move forward, it is impossible to save money.
"Captain, although I admire you for using a considerable part of Cole to train mid-level players, you don't need to get to the point where you can't even afford a house." There was silence for a few moments, and Asuna said in a somewhat deep voice.
"Well, after all, we are known as the strongest guild, and it is understandable to have a little social responsibility, don't worry, I won't exaggerate too much, the necessary Cole still has reservations." Facing Asuna's somewhat reproachful gaze, Zheng Shuanglong scratched his head and said a little embarrassed.
After listening to Zheng Shuanglong, Asuna turned half of her body to Zheng Shuanglong. At this time, Zheng Shuanglong seemed to see the longing look in Asuna's eyes, and couldn't help but gasp.
I didn't seem to want to do anything, such as attacking Asuna or something, but I didn't have such thoughts at all, and what was the look in Asuna's eyes now. Zheng Shuanglong, who was thinking about this, didn't know what to say, so he had to stare at each other quietly and silently for a few seconds.
"I always feel that since the guild was called the strongest guild, everyone has changed a little." Asuna was the first to look away. said in a clear voice: "Forget it, don't talk about this, head of the group, if you don't hurry up, dinner time will pass." ”
Zheng Shuanglong followed Asuna in front of him and began to walk. Walk towards where Asuna lives.
Asuna lives on the third floor of a beautifully small apartment that is just a short walk from the main road to the east. Of course, this is Zheng Shuanglong's first visit.
If you think about it carefully, although you are in the same guild, it seems that you don't have a lot of interactions with Asuna.
So far, apart from the celebration after the boss raider, I haven't even been to a restaurant run by an NPC alone.
From this point of view, the work done by Clea, Shino Asada, Lixia, Fei, and Tio is really good, and it is really a great masterpiece to be able to make Zheng Shuanglong and Asuna not come together for such a long time.
It's a pity that they didn't expect this solitude. After all, Faye and Tio are entangled in Sirika. Claire, Shino Aada, and Rixia team up to explore the labyrinth again.
They really couldn't imagine that Asuna, who was very afraid of ghosts, would sleep next to Zheng Shuanglong because of Zheng Shuanglong's words, and dared to team up with Zheng Shuanglong to enter the labyrinth, and finally, dared to invite Zheng Shuanglong to their home for dinner.
Soon, Zheng Shuanglong and Asuna came to the door of Asuna's house, looking at the entrance of this apartment, Zheng Shuanglong hesitated a little, and said: "That, Asuna, or let's go to the restaurant to eat, it's a little bad to go to a girl's house so late, and it's not good for your reputation." ”
Looking at Zheng Shuanglong, Asuna rolled her eyes slightly with a little arrogance, and said, "What, what are you hesitating about when you get here, come in quickly, and there is no other place to cook now, so you can only come to my house!" After all, it's rude to dine out as a thank you. ”
With that, Asuna turned her face away and climbed the stairs directly.
Looking at Asuna like this, Zheng Shuanglong shrugged his shoulders and followed him upstairs.
"Excuse me." After Zheng Shuanglong said casually, he walked into the door.
Then, Zheng Shuanglong was startled by the scene in front of him.
Zheng Shuanglong has never seen such a complete player-only room. In addition to the spacious living and dining room, the adjacent kitchen is decorated with brightly coloured wooden furniture and dark green kitchen cabinets. And these should all be the highest quality made-to-order products.
Although they are all high-end items, they are not overly flashy, but rather give people a rather comfortable feeling.
Although the room designed by Lixia, Claire, and Shino Asada, it is very warm, but there is still a certain gap compared to Asuna, who has been specially studied by the ladies.
The setting of the room, the decoration and so on, there is a certain gap, this is the gap between the professional and the amateur, perhaps, if Yuguro, Sharon, Yamato have participated in this game, the design of Zheng Shuanglong's room, maybe not inferior to Asuna's room.
However, no matter how you think about it, it is unlikely that Zheng Shuanglong will not tell Asuna that a considerable part of Kele will be used to buy and decorate the room.
The gap in the number of Cole is not something that design can make up, and there is always a significant gap between decoration and fine decoration.
"That...... How much does it cost?" After looking at Asuna's room for a while, Zheng Shuanglong couldn't help asking.
Regarding Zheng Shuanglong's rather practical question, Asuna said, "Well, the room and decoration together are about four million kore. I'll go in and change my clothes, and you can sit down for a while. ”
Asuna replied casually and disappeared behind the door in the depths of the living room. Four million Coles, this is no less than Lizbet's weapon shop with a waterwheel, and the extravagant price of a living house really makes Zheng Shuanglong a little emotional, worthy of a woman!
Thinking like this, Zheng Shuanglong sat down the soft sofa. Squinting his eyes, he waited for Asuna's outfit.
In the real world, the time for Asuna to dress up should be calculated in hours, not only Asuna, but also the time for girls such as Claire and Shino Asada, but fortunately, this is a SAO game, and things like dressing up can be done with just a few buttons.
So, it wasn't long before Asuna emerged from the room in a plain white tight top and a skirt that was knee-length.
This made Zheng Shuanglong sigh with emotion, this one-click change of clothes is really too convenient.
Asuna, who looked at Zheng Shuanglong's still battle-dressed clothes, stared at Zheng Shuanglong for a while, and then said, "How long are you going to wear that dress?"
"Well, it's not in my home after all, it's a little unaccustomed." Zheng Shuanglong, who was told by Asuna, smiled bitterly and said.
After saying that, he called out the menu screen, and then disarmed the armor, armor, and sword belts used in battle.
Looking at Zheng Shuanglong's daily light clothes, Asuna nodded with satisfaction, and then asked with a smile: "What kind of food do you want to eat, tell me!" I've learned all the cooking skills. ”
"I'll leave it to the chef, I'm not picky." Shrugging, Zheng Shuanglong said casually.
For Zheng Shuanglong, this is really not a choice worth caring about, after all, in the real world, Zheng Shuanglong's cooking skills are outstanding, no matter how delicious the dish is, Zheng Shuanglong can make it.
Compared with Zheng Shuanglong's real cooking skills, this SAO's cooking system is really weak, even if it is the so-called S-level ingredients, it is meaningless. The special chef is so capricious.
"Well, the most specialized in the cuisine I know, well, stew, I have A-grade ingredients here, so I'm looking forward to it." After thinking about it for a while, Asuna said to Zheng Shuanglong with a smile.
With that, Asuna walked towards the kitchen.
Zheng Shuanglong, who felt a little bored waiting, followed Asuna to the kitchen next door.
In addition to a wood-fired oven, the spacious kitchen is lined with high-end kitchen utensils. Asuna quickly double-clicked the oven twice, called out the pop-up menu, and after setting the cooking time, she took out the metal pot from the shelf. Then move the meat from the bottle to the pot, mix in a lot of herbs, fill it with water, and close the lid.
"Actually, there are still a lot of procedures, but SAO simplifies the cooking process too exaggeratedly, which is really boring." Asuna, who is quite confident in her cooking skills, complains as she puts the pot in the oven and presses the button to start cooking from the menu.
During the three hundred seconds of waiting, Asuna continued to move quickly, constantly materializing many of the ingredients that had been in stock, and then seasoning them one by one with a smooth motion. Her unmistakable movements when adjusting the ingredients and manipulating the menu made Zheng Shuanglong nod with satisfaction.
Cooking is art. The process of cooking is the process of appreciating art.
However, as Asuna said, the cooking skills in SAO have been simplified too much. In just five minutes, the sumptuous meal was served.
Sitting across the table from Asuna, Zheng Shuanglong saw a steaming stew on a large plate in front of him, tasting the rising steam accompanied by the fragrance, which irritated our nostrils. It is a sight to behold as the large pieces of meat are covered with a shiny and dense sauce and roll around on the plate, and the marbling patterns drawn by the white lines of cream are truly appetizing.
Zheng Shuanglong, who was very satisfied with Asuna's cooking level, decisively picked up the spoon, opened his mouth, and began to eat what should be the high-end food in SAO.
First, you can feel the heat and aroma in your mouth, and when you start chewing, you will feel the juice coming out of the soft meat. Delicious!
Although I know that these are just fake, just electronic signals simulated, but it is still a very good delicacy, a delicacy that is no less than that made by Zheng Shuanglong's culinary skills.
Just the dishes made with A-grade ingredients have the level of dishes made by senior technicians with all their might, so what about the things made with S-grade ingredients, can they reach the ultimate in deliciousness and reach the realm of impacting people's souls, Zheng Shuanglong is looking forward to it a little.
Thinking like this, Zheng Shuanglong and Asuna didn't say a word, but kept repeating the action of putting the spoon into the big plate and then putting the meat into their mouths.
Soon after, in front of the completely empty plates and pots, Asuna sighed deeply: "Ahh...... It's great to have worked so hard to survive until now...... This time it was a super level play. ”
Is it really a good dish to play at a super level Zheng Shuanglong, who was immersed in the fullness of the long-unmet primitive physiological needs that were completely satisfied, took a sip of the tea that exuded an incredible fragrance, and thought happily.
Akihiko Kayaba must be a super foodie, a super foodie who constantly plunders all kinds of delicious foods to his table, otherwise, he would not be able to make such a delicious system.
Zheng Shuanglong, who thinks like this, understands that these dishes can be made in the real world, and that kind of deliciousness is to record the taste of the original ingredients in the real world.
This kind of taste, Zheng Shuanglong can be recreated, can be reproduced with ingredients in the real world.
Asuna, who was sitting opposite Zheng Shuanglong and holding a teacup in both hands, was the first to speak, breaking the silence that had remained for several minutes because she was immersed in the afterglow of the feast.
"It's incredible...... It feels like I was born in this world and has lived until now. ”
"Lately, I sometimes can't remember what happened in another world. Actually, it's not just me...... Now there are fewer and fewer guys who are desperately shouting for a strategy and leaving. ”
"Overall, the speed of the strategy has slowed down. I think there are probably less than 500 players who are still fighting on the front line. The reason is not just risky...... And you're used to life in this world......"
Quietly listening to Asuna's words, looking at Asuna's beautiful face under the orange light, deep in thought. With smooth skin, bright hair, and a face that is too beautiful for a creature, Zheng Shuanglong said softly: "After all, everyone has been living here for so long, for us, this is no longer a game, but a real world, to be honest, Kayaba Jinghiko is really amazing, to be able to create such a world, such a beautiful strange and magical world." Although I am outraged by some of his actions, it is really wonderful to be able to witness such a world. ”
"Still, I want to go back." Hearing Zheng Shuanglong say this, Asuna shook her head slightly and said in that clear voice.
Looking at Zheng Shuanglong seriously, Asuna with a smile on her face, continued: "Because there are still a lot of things I want to do over there that I haven't done yet." (To be continued.) )
