I'm Just Enjoying the Game

After Christmas Eve, each captured floor returned to its original state as soon as daylight came, and the white snowflakes disappeared without a trace, as if last night was just a dream.

On the 22nd floor, Snow lives in seclusion. . .

"Hey Duo... what is this?"

Ling Xue looked at the dark thing on the table, with black smoke, temporarily called food, and speechlessly glanced at the little face that was tense. of Asuna.

"Food."

Asuna gave a hearty "smile", then slapped the table heavily, "smiled" and said, "This is the result of my busy morning. Eat it quickly, Ling! Xue!"

"Oh."

Seeing Asuna's sharp gaze, Lingxue sighed resignedly, and then glanced at the colorful and delicious-looking food in front of Yui. From Asuna's point of view) the discriminatory treatment is too great.

"Ahahaha... What the hell is going on?"

Yui on the side tilted his head in confusion, asking in doubt.

As for why this scene happened, not to mention that Yui didn't know clearly, even Ling Xue herself didn't say it very clearly, but she probably guessed why she suffered such "bad luck" today.

The night before, after Asuna stopped Ling Xue, she left with only one sentence. And what she said was "I will go to your house to deliver breakfast tomorrow morning. If you dare to leave or eat breakfast without authorization, this tree will be your end."

Finally, Asuna drew out her rapier and chopped off a tree. behind the tree. Then he left the Lost Forest. But stay and look at the roots. The messy Lingxue in the wind.

Although Asuna will deliver breakfast tomorrow. He said it was fine. But why is there always an ominous premonition in my heart?

And now, as expected, the premonition has come true. . .

"Do you really want to eat?" Ling Xue tried to make the last struggle, and looked at Asuna weakly.

"Hehe."

Asuna didn't answer Ling Xue's question directly, but chuckled lightly, playing with a small knife in her hand, and then. . . Then the skill activation sound sounded, and the silver knife emitted a purple light. Then with a click, it was nailed deeply into the wooden tabletop.

"Hey!!!"

Lingxue looked at the board that had been pierced, and her hairs stood on end, I'm so careful. Turning around, he looked at the black object on the plate that was emitting black smoke. Alas, to some extent, this comparable world is much darker and more terrifying.

Hmph, let me tell you that I am small-minded.

Seeing Ling Xue's "painful" face, Asuna snorted triumphantly, this is retribution. . . . . .

Actually in sao. The cooking procedure has been simplified to the extreme. Just take out the items and cut them up. Then prepare the materials and put them into the corresponding stove. After turning on the fire, the rest of the system will help you complete. Generally speaking, there will be no burning or burning. Because no matter how long you set the time, at most it will drop to the lowest point of the ingredient level, or disappear. For example, the ingredients are from high to low respectively from s to e. If you use s-level ingredients, it will be delicious if it is cooked just right, but if it is overcooked, it will be randomly reduced by one or several levels. And if the level of that kind of cuisine is enough, but there is no concept of approximate cooking time, the s-level ingredients will probably be reduced to e. . . And if the level of ingredients is not enough to drop, the ingredients will disappear directly.

So if you want to burn the ingredients, there is only one way, and that is to let people with low cooking levels cook high-level ingredients, and the timing must be well controlled before they are burnt. In this game, this is better than cooking Dishes are even more difficult.

In order to get to Lingxue, Asuna woke up very early in the morning, ran to her good friend, and after trading high-grade ingredients to her, she was there to guide and guide. . . How to burn a dish, Khan. . .

But that's the case, ten kinds of a and b grade ingredients only successfully burnt the one in front of me. . .

A breakfast farce ended with Ling Xue falling down.

Sadly, she burped with a burnt smell, and Ling Xue hurriedly made a pot of black tea, and felt better after a few sips.

On the open-air corridor in the yard, there were three figures drinking black tea, enjoying the warm wind and the warmest sun.

"Huh... Only at this time, I feel alive."

After drinking the black tea in the cup, Asuna let out a long sigh of relief, looking at the scenery of the wind blowing green trees outside the window, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "Live..." Ling Xue was slightly taken aback, "Hey, Asuna, why are you so obsessed with conquering this world?"

"A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Asuna's eyes, and she said afterwards.

"Really?"

Ling Xue didn't care, she reached out to fill the empty teacup for Asuna with black tea, and said noncommittally.

Yui, on the other hand, took a sip of black tea, looked at the two of them quietly, and seemed to want to say something, but opened her mouth and stopped. Because the current setting is that Yui is Lingxue's familiar, no matter how high the AI ​​of the familiar is, except for eating and drinking, the familiar cannot interrupt until the master nods, even if it is a human race.

"What about Ling Xue? Why is Ling Xue in such a hurry to attack Aincrad?"

"I am in a hurry to attack? Hehe."

Ling Xue froze for a moment, then shook her head with a light smile and said: "I am not in a hurry to attack Aincrad." I'm not in a rush to attack."

"Hi? Then why?" Asuna was taken aback and hurriedly asked in confusion.

"Why compete with the clearing team, or why risk your life to defeat the boss alone?" Ling Xue interrupted Asuna, and then slowly explained the doubts in Asuna's mouth. come out.

Seeing Asuna nodded, Lingxue chuckled lightly and said, "It's purely for fun."

"For fun?"

Asuna's eyes were full of puzzlement, she really couldn't figure out why someone would say the word "fun" even though this had already become a game of death.

"Well...how should I put it?"

Perhaps seeing the puzzlement on Asuna's face, Ling Xue thought for a while and said, "It is precisely because this game has become a game of death. So we have to take it easy. Otherwise, what should we do if our mentality collapses before we finish the strategy? Yes, our real world is there, but the place we live in is here. This is both illusory and real world."

Speaking of this, Ling Xue paused and stood up. He walked to the balcony, stood under the sun, took a deep breath and said, "The warm sunshine, the genial majesty, the light fragrance of the grass, the sweetness of the black tea, aren't all these perceptions real? Just like I replied that the reason why I competed with the clearing team was purely because it was fun. Because in other rpg games, it's not common to grab bosses and the like."

"You..." Asuna didn't know what to say. Say he is heartless. But how can a truly heartless person stand at the top of the players. It is said that his mind is dense, but he seems to think about nothing all day long.

"Don't think too much. I'm just enjoying the game." Ling Xue concluded.

"Enjoy... the game..." Asuna muttered these words in a daze, her eyes fluctuated from time to time, obviously caught in some memory.

As an otaku in her previous life, how could it be possible that Ling Xue hadn't watched the episode of Sao? Sorrow, who is also very beautiful, can be described as a model that everyone envies. But who said that the children of the rich have no worries. Since childhood, Asuna, also known as Yuuki Asuna, received an elite education and was arranged by her parents to lead a successful life, and she simply fulfilled their expectations mechanically. And then it was a coincidence that he brought the nervgear and came to this virtual real world and became a prisoner of this world.

After learning that you need to clear 100 floors before you can log out of the game, Asuna, who refused to admit defeat, started to fight desperately after getting familiar with the operation of the game, hoping to log out of the game as soon as possible.

"Hey, Asuna, although I'm not a member of the strategy group, I've heard of your nickname." As

if remembering something, Ling Xue suddenly smirked and said, "One of the strategy groups of the Knights of the Blood League Ghost, isn't it."

"How did you know!?"

Asuna, who was caught up in memories, didn't remember anymore at this time, and asked excitedly with a blushing face, as if Ling Xue had done something to her .

"This bad name is only known to those in the strategy group. Why would Ling Xue, who is not in the strategy group, know about it? Could it be that Silica told him." Ling Xue raised a finger and shook it: "Hey, you That's what you think, right?"

Seeing Asuna's expression of "How do you know what I'm thinking?" Ling Xue's heart was suddenly refreshed, and she had been guessed several times. This time it was finally my turn to have the "mind reading skills".

"Don't put on that expression, you almost didn't have those words written on your face." Ling Xue chuckled and said, "Remember to capture the area on the only way to the labyrinth area on a certain floor When it was the boss, he actually lured the boss to a nearby village and asked the boss to kill the village name, so as to tie the boss and let you kill it smoothly. Has this happened before?"

"Yes. "Although I really don't want to admit it, this thing really happened.

"Although I don't think I'm a good person, I'd better say a few words." Ling Xue leaned against the wooden pillar, looked up at the sky behind her and said, "Where we are, ahem, isn't there a saying on TV all the time? Don't let anything take your eyes off you. I think this sentence is equally applicable here. Going home is your goal, but if you do whatever you can to achieve that goal, Asuna is not the Asuna I knew back then."

"Why don't you try to enjoy it, maybe you will find that this game is not as bad as you imagined?" Ling Xue smiled.

"Enjoy...well..." Asuna murmured thoughtfully.
