The first time a monster appeared on the second floor of the mine was when Wang Shui walked down the stairs for the third time, and he saw those slow figures walking aimlessly from a distance.

Those were three skeleton monsters, classified as undead creatures.

There was not a trace of flesh and blood on their bodies, and their bones were dark yellow and rough and even a little weathered and cracked, but after Wang Shui sneaked closer, the first sword slashed down, and he only felt that he had slashed on a stone.

Fortunately, these undead with mining pickaxes move slowly and have low health, and the dark blue fire in their skulls is their weak point, which is also a classic design.

They have very little experience and only seem to drop ores, and their only role is to tell Shui Wang that they are starting to farm monsters here.

The boring days of mining continued, and Aqua Reus showed a patience that lone wolf players could not understand - a patience for loneliness.

Even social terrorists like Kiritto like to visit night markets, they are just afraid of communication, not that they have no desire for communication, and loneliness is still very scary for natural social animals.

The Internet age has given rise to many people who like to be alone, and even they need to constantly get the same kind of information on the Internet, whether it is real-time online chat, it may be comments across time, and a small amount of attention and communication can make them feel that they are still living in this world.

They enjoy a simple, convenient, undisturbed life, not isolated loneliness.

Wang Shui is an outlier, he is a social maniac, he has a shallow knowledge of psychology, he understands the human need for social interaction, but he is one of the very few people who really enjoy solitude.

But that doesn't make him anything special.

It wasn't until November 28th, the 22nd day after the game of death began, that Wang Shui walked out of the mine.

His level has been piled up to level 7 by a handful of monsters in the mines, and he still has 6 pickaxes left, but he has run out of food and water.

The game life has made aqua regia a habit of checking leftover food every time he eats so as not to cause panic.

So after eating the last of his food, he washed his hands and face with the last of the water, and walked into the dim valley in a tattered cotton and linen inlay garment, and with a body of dust.

The numb spirit was gradually activated by the night wind, and the dead fish eyes were also a little more agile, Wang Shui inexplicably felt that his heart was much calmer, and now he really liked this game world a little.

Walking towards the town of [Torbana], three kilometers away, Wang Shui is ready to start returning to the player group today, enjoying the solitude is not in a hurry, and now he is chasing the elite players of the first and second echelons again.

Go find a good team and become a solid background board for Master Tong, Wang Shui even has some plans to enjoy the two years of game time, after all, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the plot at present.

However, people have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. Wang Shui, who had just come out of the hole, was the first to usher in a player PK.

The PK of the SAO world does not refer to a simple fair PVP duel, but [Player Kill], that is, the player kills, and by killing the player, he will also die in reality.

This happens a week or so after the game starts, and at first maybe just to loot property, then it seems that scum who specializes in killing people for fun appears to appear.

So when watching three orange buoys run after another orange buoy, the vast majority of players in this game should get out of the way and quickly move away from them, and so does Aqua regia.

In the dim light, Wang Shui, dressed like a beggar, gave way and waited for the four of them to run in front of him before opening the inventory and dragging the equipment onto the character model.

The [Miner's Suit] with a mining bonus dropped by the Cave Monster was replaced with a cheap leather armor in the early stage, and the [Sword of Fortitude] with a black lacquered sword spine also appeared in Wang Shui's hand, and the first expression of Wang Shui's existence was the iron bullet that burst out from his left hand.

Sou! ——【-211！ ], [Stun], [Shock]

Wang Shui was not the last to hit the last place, but the one at the front of the trio of pursuers, and the iron bullet hit the back of the target's head, hitting the weak point of high injuries and negative states, and at the same time, he also announced Wang Shui's entry in a high-profile manner.

The two people behind naturally stopped quickly, they turned around and held their swords and subconsciously prepared to confront each other first, but Wang Shui had already charged up without hesitation, [Angry Stabbing] stabbed into the lower abdomen of the nearest person, Wang Shui took a step back with a left forward kick, and then advanced to pick up the sword and turn down, at this time, the light effect of the sword skill lit up, and the [Vertical Slash] judgment was successful.

The person who was attacked by Wang Shui directly ate a set, and there was nowhere to exert force in advance and retreat, and his body could not maintain balance. His companions immediately slashed at him, ready to relieve him.

At this time, the orange buoy player who had been chasing at the front immediately turned back to join the battle after discovering the help of passers-by, he crossed the first person who was controlled, and went straight to the guy who was ready to help with the [curved knife], the short sword in his hand emitted a green sword skill light, and a [side bite] stuck to the opponent like a poisonous snake.

Without waiting for the help of his teammates, the orange player with a one-handed straight sword at the end of the team quickly bottomed out in the suffocating suppression of the regia water, and let out a cry of fear from his mouth, he fell to the ground, and waved his hand backwards again and again.

The attention of the other three people present was drawn.

"Ahh Yes! Don't fight anymore! Don't kill me, I'll give you everything I robbed! ”

As he shouted, he materialized the contents of his inventory, and a large amount of equipment and props instantly appeared on the ground.

Aqua regia seemed to slow down.

"It's all here!"

This sentence became his last words.

Wang Shui stepped forward in the props all over the ground, and stabbed down with a sword to empty the opponent's last blood volume, without any delay, and the opponent also shattered into light chips in a shocked expression.

The people present were inexplicably shocked by Wang Shui's determination, and Wang Shui didn't care about what was on the ground, but immediately launched a charge.

……

……

The third person, the first stunned guy, was also shattered under Wang Shui's sword, and the last two pursuers seemed to sense Wang Shui's killing intent, and instead of digging something to beg for mercy, they ran away directly.

However, the [Flying Sword] skill is too suitable for dealing with small and medium-sized targets.

The buoy above Wang Shui's head, who had killed three people in a row, also turned orange, and with an inexplicable sense of oppression, he looked back at the pursued person with short ice blue hair and eyes, and approached step by step.

Perhaps it was because he was intimidated by Wang Shui's killing, or maybe it was because he knew that he couldn't escape the [Flying Sword] skill that hit every shot, and the orange player who was being chased and killed, who was also a handsome and abnormal female player, slowly retreated in indescribable fear.

Wang Shui's movements were fast, and as he walked, he let go of the sword in his hand and let the sword fall into the dust. He grabbed the girl by the collar with both hands, even lifting her directly from the ground, and then pressed her against the rock wall of the valley.

"Why are you in the game?" Wang Shui's voice carried the exhaustion of mining for a long time, and there was obvious anger.

"I ...... You...... You are...... Sato tree?! ”

Shino, who was pressed hard against the stone wall and could barely move, called out the name in surprise.

"Why are you surprised, you knew I would be in the game."

After Wang Shui finished speaking, he put down Shi Nai, turned around and picked up the sword and withdrew the scabbard at his waist, and then went to pick up the props all over the ground.

Shina's brain is down, tonight he was first attacked, hunted down, and then rescued, and then found out that the person who rescued him was a real neighbor and temporary classmate, and then this classmate killed three people without hesitation...... Or when the opponent stops attacking and begs for mercy.

Originally, after nearly a month of death games, Shino felt much stronger, more independent and stronger, but now her mind was in a mess, and she hadn't even recovered from the state of being attacked at the beginning.

Shino could only lean against a large rock and stare blankly at the dark sky, letting the cool breeze in the valley cool her down.

Bang –

A heavy figure landed beside Shino, and she looked at her new friend a month ago through the dim light of the distant track.

Bland, mature, he looked up at the sky, orange buoys above him pointing at his face.

There is no so-called sense of security, and now there is no fear, Shino feels a ...... Strange, yes, I've only known each other for less than a week, and this guy is a psychology enthusiast who is very good at hiding his heart.

"Why are you in the game?"

Wang Shui, who was resting on her back, asked the old question again, and Shi Nai thought seriously for a long time, but she was silent and did not give an answer.

"Silence means that you don't want to say it, that is to say, it has something to do with me, whether it is for fear of increasing the burden on me, or hindering the embarrassment of the current strangeness, you will remain silent."

"So...... Was it because you saw NERvGear that you were attracted to it? Or is it because I'm too strong, especially psychologically, that you have the vision to learn from me and strengthen yourself? It seems like you've put it into practice, you've bought gaming equipment, you've probably even started reading psychology, you've started to approach me, you've got an up-close look at my way of life – just want to be as powerful as I am? ”

The experience of being read as if she was reading her mind made Shino straighten up in shame and turn to Shui Wang, but she was soon pinched by her chin with a right hand, and he was very hard.

"Asada-san, do you really think I'm strong?"

Shi Na slapped Wang Shui's right hand away and lay back in silence, thinking about Wang Shui's words, this guy who killed three people without expression not long ago seemed to be lamenting his weakness.

"Did you kill someone before you were hunted down?" Aqua regia changed the topic, but did not jump very far.

She didn't kill anyone, she only attacked an enemy with a green buoy when she counterattacked, and was judged to intentionally hurt the player to be orange.

"It seems that you don't, but you had, a long time ago you killed a robber with a pistol, although it was justified defense, but the terrible memories are engraved in your memory, engraved in your body, and you still maintain normal human disgust and resistance to taking other people's lives. But now, you seem to have convinced yourself to accept my ......"

"Those orange players just now, they killed your teammates, right?"

The last sentence made Shi Nai's chaotic thoughts tonight instantly cold, and the inexplicable pressure began to swell in his brain.

"It's a very simple logic.,Shino shouldn't have been in contact with this kind of game.,Whether it's age.,Gender.,Usual interests.,The degree of effort in learning,It all tells me this.,And SAO is a very hardcore very novel completely stealth game.,It's the first in the world.,The early difficulty of this world is okay for RPG veterans.,But for newcomers like you.,It should be difficult.。

"I think with your character, there is a high probability that you will not wait for physical and mental decay in the town of start, but due to the unfamiliarity with the process and the concept of becoming stronger, your first day should end with an embarrassing escape, and then it will be an inefficient study of others."

"Then you got help, it's not hard to imagine it's Rat Argo's strategy manual, you mastered the basic skills, and followed the advice on the manual to find a squad, and then went on a long farm near the town of the start, exercising and getting familiar with the battle."

"You haven't played the game, you didn't hide your appearance, you were naturally cared for by the team, your teammates are good, your skills and character are quite good, they protect you, after a long time of strategy, and finally even reached the last town on the outskirts of the maze area, which is here."

Wang Shui described in a flat tone, and when he said this, Shi Nai, who slowly lowered his head, suddenly trembled his shoulders.

"I guessed right, they were very nice to you, and until tonight, they covered your escape. Looters don't usually kill indiscriminately, they usually just force other players to hand over items and money, but your teammates are desperately resisting, I think, it's the looters who are asking for the extra money. ”

Wang Shui turned sideways and pinched Shina's chin with a strength attribute of up to 35 points, making her look at herself with her head lowered, tears gushing out of her beautiful ice blue eyes like a clear spring.

"They are asking you to open the [Restrictive Specification Release] and ask you to sacrifice your body before your stupid teammates who are filled with your sense of justice will rise up and resist."

Bang –

Shui regia was unexpectedly toppled to the ground.

Shiina's thin body pressed against his chest, and his two hands pressed his neck with all his might, and then squeezed out a few words in his clenched teeth:

"Him! Guys! No! Stupid! ”

Bean big teardrops dripped on the corners of Wang Shui's mouth, and the salty and astringent taste was so real that Wang Shui sighed at the boredom of the developer.

"But they're still dead, all dead, and the robbers don't want today's events to be exposed, that's why they're chasing you." The lying down Wang Shui did not struggle, but his voice was still cold.

"They're used to simple robbery, and they don't even bother to be masked, but killing people is different, it may attract a concerted blow from high-level players, they should be considered masters if they can mix around this town, and leaving the front line will make them a lot weaker, so they will definitely not be reconciled. The chase is so decisive that you can only run away in a daze, without even thinking that you are moving away from town until you meet me. ”

"You showed fear when you saw that I killed three robbers, and when you saw that I was an acquaintance and didn't make a move against you, you let down your guard and accepted my murder, because it was also a revenge for your teammates."

Wang Shui felt the oppression in his body gradually become shaken, and continued:

"Just before I spoke, you had a great affection for me in your heart, maybe all gratitude, but more importantly, it was the yearning for my strong strength and strong psychological quality, and it was my expectation, so I asked you, do you really think I am strong?"

Wang Shui looked into Shi Nai's eyes, and Shi Nai not only closed her eyes, but also tilted her head to the side.

"Yes, you think I'm strong, and even because of me, your attitude towards life is shaken. You are not out of your grief yet, but after a while, when your grief is soothed by time, you will change unconsciously, becoming weak and accustomed to clinging to others. ”

"Maybe you will become gentle and mature, and you will become blindly trusting and even loving me, and these changes can be said to be benign, especially for me, I can almost rely on my social skills to gain your affection."

Wang Shui reached out and grabbed Shina's shoulders with both hands, then sat up and hugged her in a hugging position, but did not hold her hard.

"But that's not Shino I like."

"Maybe a little selfish, I don't even want you to like me, I just hope you can keep independent thinking and a strong heart, and maintain the determination to deal with all difficulties, gender is not a strong shackle, neither is the body, the soul is."

"Only a strong soul can have a strong self, and then a strong body. And I didn't, the decisiveness you saw was the decision I made after thinking about the situation and not being able to ease it, and it was my guilt for influencing you and making you fall into the death game, but I'm not a strong person. ”

At this time, Wang Shui tightened his arms and hugged Shi Nai hard.

"I'm sorry for bringing you here and giving you false expectations."

Shina, who trembled and cried again, also hugged Wang Shui tightly.

"I'll be your new teammate and help you become stronger in SAO, and I'll do everything I can to protect you, but I'm not a knight and can't promise to take you out of the game safely, so you have to be strong and protect me, okay?"

The little body in his arms twisted, Wang Shui didn't care whether Shi Nai nodded or not, and his face didn't have the rich emotions after saying so many "words in his heart", but a kind of indifferent indifference.

Taking advantage of the situation is the lowest method, and the success rate will not even exceed half, unless the other party has long been obsessed with you but has not chosen you (spare tire) for various reasons.

The success rate is not 100%, and Wang Shui will not even bother to operate, so he regains Shi Nai's character and integrates his existence into Shi Nai's thinking.

This is a psychological suggestion method that has many restrictions and requires improvisation, and this method does not make Wang Shui all that is in the heart of the poet.

But Wang Shui is not in the mood to win the poetry to emphasize his existence.

He doesn't need a lukewarm doll, he needs an independent and powerful warrior!

A warrior who would give his life for him.
