Chapter 51: Time is Ticking

……

Since Zhang Chai confessed the truth to Asuna, the two have been tired of being together almost all the time, rarely going to the front line to attack the boss, and even deliberately want to slow down the progress of the strategy in exchange for more sweet time.

However, even if Zhang Chai and Asuna repeatedly refused to go to the front line, the strategy process on the front line did not slow down, and as the information that the layers of bosses were quickly conquered, Zhang Chai's mood became more and more depressed.

Time flickered, and more than a year passed......

Now, the Raiders team has successfully conquered the 99th floor, and only the 100th floor 'Red Jade Palace' remains.

As early as when the Raiders team conquered the 95th floor, Heathcliff disclosed his identity, revealing that he was the creator of the game, Akihiko Kayaba, and incarnated as the final boss, threatening to wait for players to conquer in the Ruby Palace on the 100th floor, which shocked and angered countless players.

Although players feel that they have been fooled, and many powerful guilds have poured into the Ruby Palace in an attempt to kill Kayaba Jinghiko to clear the game, until now, there are still no guilds and groups that can defeat Kayaba Jinghiko, and many well-known guilds have been wiped out in the Ruby Palace......

On the 39th floor, inside a hut.

Asuna put down the newspaper in her hand, looked at Zhang Chai, who was leisurely drinking black tea, and said sadly: "The situation on the front line is getting worse and worse......

Zhang Chai took a sip of tea and pouted: "If ordinary players in this world alone can break through the 100th floor, then what do we need survivors to do?" Just don't do anything, just stay at home to eat, drink and have fun, and just sit back and wait for customs clearance. ”

"Ugh." Asuna sighed faintly, sat down beside Zhang Chai, and asked helplessly: "In other words, only survivors have a chance to defeat Kayaba Jinghiko, do you mean that?" ”

Zhang Chai nodded and said, "It must be so, otherwise the survival task will be too unchallenging." ”

Asuna didn't know what to say, she was reluctant to leave Zhang Chai, but she couldn't bear to see waves of players go to the Red Jade Palace to die.

"Don't worry about it, your face is almost wrinkled." Zhang Chai smiled and hugged Asuna into his arms, but his face gradually sank.

Because just last night, he received a warning from Evil: "Survivors with negative wills will be severely punished by Evil, please act with caution. 】

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Chai couldn't help but scratch his hair irritably, and because he deliberately slowed down the clearance time, he was judged by Evil to be negative-willed. If this continues, I don't know what kind of severe punishment I will suffer......

Tuk-tuk.

At that moment, there was a soft knock at the door.

"I'll open the door." Zhang Chai stood up, already guessing in his heart who was coming.

When I opened the door, I saw a pretty and beautiful girl standing outside the door, it was Gu Xinyan.

Now Gu Xinyan has changed a lot, no longer the old-fashioned black robe before, but changed to a blue tunic dress, highlighting the youthful and beautiful body curves. Under the knee-length skirt, the exposed snow-white and beautiful legs are gently put together, and there is a beautiful temperament of a girl next door.

It's just that the corners of her eyes always reveal an indelible coldness and edge, which makes people dare not look up and face it, which brutally destroys this beauty.

After Zhang Chai looked at it, he sighed regretfully, and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?" ”

Gu Xinyan glanced at Asuna who was chasing after her, and her face became a little unsightly, "You come out to speak." ”

Zhang Chai knew what Gu Xinyan wanted to say, so he gave Asuna a reassuring look, and followed Gu Xinyan out of the hut and into a small alley.

"I don't understand, do you understand your current situation?" Gu Xinyan glared at Zhang Chai and asked, "Asuna is just an illusory character!" Are you going to defend her for the rest of your life? Is this possible? ”

Zhang Chai was surprised: "What does this have to do with you?" ”

Gu Xinyan was speechless for a moment, and then said, "...... You're my teammate, I can't watch you fall and become so useless! If you're still a man, cheer up. ”

Zhang Chai wondered in his heart, when did Gu Xinyan learn to care about people? She must have taken the wrong medicine.

Seeing Zhang Chai's absent-minded appearance, Gu Xinyan said angrily: "Are you listening?" ”

Zhang Chai felt a headache, and said angrily: "Listen, I'm listening, of course I understand my situation!" In the end, we still have to complete the main quest and leave this world, and Asuna can't stay with me forever...... Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

Gu Xinyan nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I'm very satisfied." ”

Zhang Chai was stunned, and couldn't help but rub his eyes, right? Gu Xinyan actually smiled!

He had to admit that Gu Xinyan's short-lived smile was really beautiful, which made him feel thrilled......

It's not a good thing for a female killer to laugh!

Sensing Zhang Chai's strange gaze, Gu Xinyan restrained his smile and wondered, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhang Chai was dumbfounded for a moment before he said, "You smiled at me just now...... Honestly, do you have some conspiracy? ”

What's the conspiracy? Bastard......

When Gu Xinyan heard this, her face suddenly changed, she glanced at her hatefully, and ran away in a rage.

"It's inexplicable." Zhang chased Gu Xinyan's back and fled, muttered, turned around and returned to the hut.

Seeing Zhang Chai come back with a depressed face, Asuna hurriedly greeted him and said worriedly: "What is she coming to you for?" ”

Zhang Chai said helplessly: "What good thing can she do?" It's not like I'm urging me to complete the main quest. ”

Asuna bit her lip and wanted to look into Zhang Chai's eyes, but when she saw Zhang Chai's unnatural lowering of her head, she asked faintly, "Did you agree?" ”

Zhang Chai raised his head, stepped forward to hug Asuna, and said with relief: "You think too much, I didn't say a few words to her." ”

Asuna put away her sadness, gently broke away from his embrace, and said, "ZZ, in fact, you really don't have to delay yourself for me!" If our fate is destined not to be together, no matter how much effort we try, it will be in vain, right? ”

"That's not right!" Zhang Chai shook his head, grabbed Asuna's cold hand, and said firmly: "Sooner or later, I will find a way to get the best of both worlds and take you with me!" ”

……

Time passed little by little.

Zhang Chai goes through a torturous process from holding on to despair, and he still can't find a way to get Asuna to follow him back to the survival game island.

And, even more urgently, Evil's second warning came: [If the will of the survivors continues to be negative, Evil will give the punishment of depriving him of twenty-five years of life, effective from the following month.] 】

Deprivation of twenty-five years of life?

Effective the next month?

Zhang Chai, who had just gotten up in the morning, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Evil's warning, isn't it the 31st today? The next month, tomorrow!

This is too tricky!

How many twenty-five years can you lose in life?

Zhang Chai suddenly felt a little out of breath, looked at Asuna sleeping beside him, and his eyes lit up with irrepressible anger, bullshit survival game island! Your Majesty the Dog's Day! So Lao Tzu, you. What's the good!?
