August 10, Level 9.

Today, Asuna and Heracross went out to farm monsters and collect ingredients as usual.

"P coin, what is this?"

Asuna looked at the panel that suddenly popped up in front of her and clicked it doubtfully.

[Congratulations on getting P coins*50]

[P Coin (Pokémon Coin): Obtained by working with Pokémon to kill monsters. It can be used to pay for consumption in the Pokémon Center and friendly stores. The deeper the relationship between the trainer and Pokémon, the more P earned after killing. The more coins there are. (Cannot be traded, cannot be dropped, cannot be looted)]

"New currency? What about the Elf Center and Friendly Shop?"

Asuna frowned and took out a P coin.

It looks like an ordinary gold coin, except that it has the letter 'P' on it.

"Hey?"

Heracross walked over, sniffed the P coin in Asuna's hand, and then showed a disgusted expression.

"Has the game been updated?"

Asuna wondered for a moment, then looked at Heracross beside her, "Let's go back and take a look."

I have never heard of these three terms in games before.

"Hey!"

Heracross hugged Asuna skillfully, then flapped his wings behind him and flew into the sky.

Now Asuna is used to this way of traveling.

Ten minutes later, Asuna returned to the teleportation array area and went directly to the twelfth floor, which is also the highest floor that has been conquered so far.

Today several major trade unions held a pre-war analysis on this floor and will launch a strategy battle against the boss on the twelfth floor tomorrow.

If Asuna wanted to know about the P coins, it would be a good idea to come to this floor to inquire.

After arriving on the twelfth floor, Asuna immediately returned to the [Trainers Association]'s temporary residence on the twelfth floor.

The president must be in a meeting at the moment and may not have time to answer her questions. It is obviously a good choice to ask other members of the guild.

"Asuna, you're back."

As soon as she entered the guild, Celia, who was tickling Xiangwei Meow with a tickle, noticed her.

"Celia-chan, do you know about P coins? This is it."

Asuna took out one P coin and handed it to Celia.

[Items that cannot be traded]

Celia took it, but a red panel appeared in front of her.

She didn't pay attention, just clicked casually, and then checked the introduction of P coins' props.

"So this is a P coin. Asuna, where did you get it?"

Celia's eyes lit up after reading the introduction and she asked.

"What you get from swiping monsters on the ninth floor is an ordinary mob."

"Is that so? It seems that this thing is not dropped by specific monsters. It should be dropped by killing monsters like G coins. No, it seems that only trainers can get it."

Celia nodded.

However, she changed her statement after noticing the introduction behind the P coin.

"Celia-chan, what's going on?"

"Meow~"

Xiangwei Miao suddenly jumped up, opened his mouth and took the P coin in Celia's hand, put it on the ground and started playing with it.

"Did you also see the 'Elf Center' and 'Friendly Store' in the back?"

Celia leaned over and touched the tail meow's head.

The little guy twitched his ears and slapped Celia's hand away with his tail like a dog's tail.

"Uh-huh."

Asuna nodded.

"Those are the two 'buildings' that were just updated today, but they have nothing to do with most players. They seem to be full of Pokémon-related services, but I have only heard about them and haven't seen them with my own eyes yet."

Celia told Asuna what she knew, and at the same time pointed to the P coins that Tai Miao was playing with, "I heard that in those two buildings, only this kind of 'P coins' can be used as a means of payment. "

Regarding what Celia said, Duck was also very confused at the time.

He clearly set up the elf center and friendly shops to use ‘G coins (gold coins)’ for payment, which is the currency dropped by players when they defeat monsters.

But after setting it up, ‘G coins’ were automatically changed to ‘P coins’.

The "P Coin" thing is not a setting added by Dark, but automatically appears in SAO after the Elf Center and Friendly Shop are located.

After Dark discovered this problem, he immediately approached Kayaba Akihiko to study it. As a result, the latter was helpless. Even with the highest administrator authority, Kayaba Akihiko was unable to change the settings of 'P Coin'. or delete.

Just when Kayaba Akihiko was about to ask Porygon Type B to operate it, Dark stopped the other party from doing this.

He tentatively asked the system first, and after confirming that the action was caused by the system, he completely stopped Kayaba Akihiko's action of letting Porygon Type B die.

Afterwards, Dark re-entered SAO and found that from his own perspective, P coins were another introduction.

[P Coin: The digital product of the positive emotions between the trainer and the Pokémon. The number generated is determined by the depth of the emotion between the two. It has a certain value and can be purchased at the 'Elf Center' and 'Friendly Store' in the game. 'Convert to an equivalent amount of magical coins]

After reading the introduction of this version, Dark knew that P coins were the source of magical coins in SAO.

However, although P coins are the virtual currency in SAO, they cannot be manipulated by Dark, the administrator. He cannot directly give players a lot of P coins through the backend for them to spend.

but

In fact, it is possible to cheat through superpowers.

With the level of Dak's super power, he can completely forcibly catalyze the inner emotions between trainers and Pokémon to become deeper, causing the P coins they obtain after killing monsters to increase.

But that was a crooked way, and it was impossible for him to do it.

"How about we go take a look now?"

Asuna is very interested in things related to Pokémon, so she plans to go and see what kind of building it is.

"Okay, but there is only the Elf Center on this floor. There is only one friendly store every five floors. The first friendly store is on the 15th floor. We haven't found it yet."

Celia nodded and followed Asuna out of the guild station.

"How did Celia-chan know?"

"These words are part of the announcement. Asuna hasn't read the email today, right? It's in the email."

"It really is"

Asuna opened the system's mailbox, and there was indeed an email posted by the administrator [Kayaba Akihiko].

The content inside is similar to what Celia said, including some instructions for adding elf centers, friendly shops, and P coins.

Two people were walking in the town and found that more and more players were gathering on the road.

"so many people?"

Asuna looked at the players around her in surprise.

At the same time, many players moved out of the way after seeing Asuna and Celia.

After all, Asuna and Celia are both famous figures in SAO now, especially Asuna and the other 'double sword trainer' are both very famous and powerful players.

"They should all come to see the Elf Center, but why don't they go in? Is it too crowded inside and they still need to queue up?"

Celia held Xiangwei Miao in her arms and looked at the players with confusion.

Until the two of them walked into the Elf Center, their doubts were not only not eliminated but amplified.

The Poké Center is a red-themed, angular building with a Poké Ball logo on the building, but in the perception of SAO players, this is the logo of the 'Diamond Contract'.

The interior of the Elf Center is very spacious, and there are not many players there. It is completely different from the crowded situation outside.

The interior style is bright and bright, giving people a sense of security, just like a [safe zone].

Behind the semicircular counter stood an NPC with pink hair named ‘Joy’; beside him was an oval Pokémon ‘Geely Egg’.

However, Joey and Geely Egg here are pure data, no different from other NPCs.

"Wow, what a beautiful NPC, and this Pokémon is so cute."

Celia's eyes suddenly lit up after seeing these two characters.

"Hey, Asuna."

Before Asuna could respond to Celia's words, a familiar voice came from beside her.

"Lizbeth."

Asuna took a look and saw that it was her best friend Lisbeth and her Pokémon Makuta Rikishi. Then she pointed outside and said, "Why don't the people outside come in?"

"Oh, it seems that the Elf Center only allows players with the sub-profession of 'Trainer' to enter. I guess the friendly store is in a similar situation."

"That's it, I say."

Asuna then understood.

According to the appearance style of this Elf Center, this should be a place that attracts the attention of players. If there were no restrictions, there would probably be a lot of players here.

"Asuna doesn't know the function of the Elf Center yet, right?"

"Hmm, I don't know."

"Hehe, it's very powerful. Look, Makoshita Rikishi's HP is only 180 points now, right? And he has been with me all morning to kill wild monsters, so he is already very tired."

Lisbeth knelt down and hugged the makushita rikishi next to her.

"Um."

When Asuna saw the rikishi under the curtain, he looked very tired.

She also knew that Mr. Madara’s special training for Lisbeth and Makoshita Rikishi was very strict.

"So, Miss Joy, can you help my makushita rikishi recover?"

"Of course you can, you need 100P coins~"

"OK."

After Lisbeth paid the 100P coins, the makushita rikishi suddenly turned into the red and white ball that he had when he first conquered him, and fell into Joey's hands.

Joey placed it on the machine next to him and pressed the start button.

As a smart sound sounded, five seconds later.

"Makushita Rikishi has recovered."

Joey picked up the red and white ball again and handed it back to Lisbeth.

The moment the latter took over, the red and white ball transformed back into the form of the makushita rikishi.

But the makushita rikishi at this time was completely different from the state five seconds ago.

"M!"

The makushita rikishi showed off his biceps energetically, full of energy!

"Huh?! It turns out that the Pokémon Center is a hospital for recovering Pokémon, but this speed is too unreasonable."

Asuna was stunned.
