Chapter 57: On the Road

The two of them made up for a little more, especially at Asuna's strong request, Ye Ran prepared some more condiments, and of course, this part of Ke Er Asuna took it out happily.

Although the last time he sent reinforcements to the army, although the result was quite miserable, Tilberu, as the head of the army, still happily fulfilled the contract between them, except, of course, those player teams that were completely wiped out.

So Asuna's current bonus is honestly quite a lot, so she has always been frugal and generous to take out her private money, although she does not rule out the idea of wanting to earn some face in front of Ye Ran.

And Ye Ran, naturally, didn't know what kind of politeness was anymore, someone held Keer and strongly asked to spend money, how could Ye Ran refuse such a lovely request.

Therefore, Asuna's inventory has a lot of extra ingredients and various accessories.

The desert air is extremely hot and dry, and after the two of them left the city, Asuna led the way towards the labyrinth, in fact, in this thirty layers composed entirely of sand, the last thing to worry about is to get lost as in reality, not only because of the existence of the map, but also because there are all kinds of small oases in the desert, not to mention the huge labyrinth that runs through the sky and the earth like a road sign.

Along the way, Ye Ran casually solved several sand scorpions, and Ye Ran was clear about the weaknesses of these animals, just stabbing one sword after another at will, and accurately stabbed the joints of its head and body, and then with a force, he saw the sand scorpion broken into two.

And Asuna didn't forget her request, and looked at Ye Ran's movements seriously, but the more she looked at it, the more confused she became, because Ye Ran was too casual, and it was much different from the standard posture of the system's sword skills, Asuna really didn't understand how Ye Ran's sword skills could be so powerful.

This is the world of games.

The sheer accumulation of numbers can create a huge gap.

Sword skills are all stacked by proficiency, and every certain level unlocks a sword skill, and the peak of proficiency is 1000. Theoretically, the higher the proficiency, the more powerful the sword skills unlocked.

However, each character has twelve skill slots, and reaching a certain level of proficiency in different weapons at the same time will also unlock a special weapon class.

And the sword skills of weapons in this category are usually stronger than the single-weapon sword skills of the same level.

There are quite a lot of weapons in Sword Art Online, and it takes a lot of time to train one of them to full proficiency, and each character has more skill limits, so when this game was launched, it dared to claim almost infinite sword skills.

Sword skills are the rules of this game.

It represents the amount of effort, and the stronger the sword skill, the greater the effect.

But Asuna saw in Ye Ran's hands a sword skill that was completely different from the player's sword skills, Ye Ran's sword skills, even if they did not flicker with the unique light of the system assistance, could bring great damage to the monster.

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

Seeing that Asuna had been staring at her swordsmanship, Ye Ran turned his head and asked, "Why don't you fight monsters?" ”

"Isn't it..."Asuna scratched her face a little confused, and said: "Ye Ran, you have a lot of power when you use ordinary attacks, have you ever learned swords before?" ”

"Nope." Stabbed a monster to death again, Ye Ran raised his sword, looked at the face reflected above the bright sword, the seventeen-year-old face, and said softly in a trance: "I started learning swords from falling into this game inexplicably." ”

"Huh... Dropped to? Isn't it on a gaming device? ”

The two found a shaded place to sit down, Ye Ran handed Asuna a pack of snacks, Asuna twisted a piece of dried meat, tore it in small bites, swallowed it and continued to ask.

"I don't know what to do... I have no memory of how to get into this game. ”

Ye Ran shook his head, recalling the incident of half a year ago, which made him feel inexplicably indifferent, so when he talked about his past, he didn't have the uneasiness when he first woke up, it was better to say that since he practiced the sword, the feeling of uneasiness was far away from him.

"I'm different from you, you only have your soul trapped in this world, but I seem to be trapped in this world even my body."

Ye Ran raised his hand, his index finger pressed lightly on the blade of the sword, the moment the fragile skin touched the sharp blade, the red blood flowed out, Ye Ran's face was still faint and smiling, looking at his index finger, as if what was flowing on his index finger was not blood, but something else.

Asuna hurriedly took out the bandage, glared at Ye Ran, carefully bandaged Ye Ran's hand, and then she sat up straight and looked at the young man quietly.

"Now, Asuna, are we different? We're different, right? ”

The eyes of the young man in white passed through the void and went straight to the huge cylinder, Asuna couldn't tell how to describe Ye Ran's eyes at this moment, she just felt that Ye Ran's face had a look of being a person for the first time.

She didn't answer Ye Ran's question, she didn't know how to answer Lu Dao, she was just an ordinary person, just an ordinary player, she had people who kept expectations of her, she had her dreams, and she had her own home to go back to.

Ye Ran was obviously different from the player, but Asuna couldn't put this difference into words, and she didn't know what Lu Dao was, but her intuition told her so.

Asuna thought that even after many years, she probably couldn't forget this first faded indifference, with endless sadness in her eyes, which was a look that was lonely and hesitant about her fate.

The scorching wind was blowing gently, and even though Asuna knew that the body of this game was just a set of data, and it was impossible to have symptoms such as dehydration and sweating like in the real world, Asuna was still a girl, and she was a well-educated lady from childhood to adulthood, so she put the cape on her hat and wore a mask at the same time to cover her face.

So it was normal for her voice to seem a little whimpering and blurry, so she definitely didn't admit that the sadness at that moment was caused by Ye Ran.

Seeing Ye Ran smiling so lightly and indifferently, Asuna felt that feeling again, although the two sat very close, Ye Ran was always far away from him, and there was a fairly wide gully between them.

She pressed her heart again and asked herself, what kind of feelings do you have for Ye Ran? Do you like it?

There is no answer.

"Let's go, let's go!"

So she stood up, took Ye Ran's hand and stood up, lifted the hat of her cloak, and in the surprised eyes of the other party when she got up, she showed a big sunny smile, and that smile was so dazzling that she could almost suppress any uneasiness.

But Ye Ran was just puzzled, what was wrong with the other party?

Ye Ran, who was almost focused on swordsmanship, naturally couldn't understand Asuna's mentality, but this did not prevent Ye Ran from feeling the kindness from the other party.

So he just replied lightly, and the two continued to move towards the labyrinth area.
