What the hell is this movie theater?

[Boss on December 12th - Resurrection props].

After Su Hong finished this sentence, he immediately said with emotion, "Ah, I should get started with Japanese."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking to myself, uncle."

Su Hong waved to Uncle Nishida who was handling the fat fish, and continued to try to have a wonderful private chat with the underage girl Argo in traditional Chinese characters.

【? 】

Argo sent a question mark, and then another sentence.

[Will the boss of the Christmas event on December 12th drop resurrection props? 】

【Yes. 】

[Then why didn’t you tell me this information directly?You still want me to guess? 】

【Private Japanese is no good. 】

【…】

[Boss on December 12th - resurrection props = Jun gets gold → Yui gets on December 25th = privately gets the security guard at home]

【. . . . . . 】

If this was the reaction, Argo should have understood what he wanted to say, which made him feel relieved and satisfied to close his private chat window.

"Looks like I've solved another possible naughty kid raid I might encounter at Christmas."

"Potential naughty kid raids on Christmas!?"

"Ah, it's like preventing relatives' children from coming to my room and messing around during the holidays," Su Hong answered Uncle Xitian's doubts with satisfaction, "Now my Christmas is no longer Christmas. "

"Ah - ah, ah, so someone actually wants to celebrate Christmas with you?"

"Well, two minors may come to my house to spend Christmas together," Su Hong sighed from the bottom of his heart, "in order to avoid having inappropriate relationships with minors and then being kicked out by the FBI online. The police were quickly dispatched at the door of the room, and I tried my best... Sure enough, life as an adult is not easy everywhere..."

35.skip! Skip! Skip! Skip!

A few days later, the fishing guys whose goal is never to be in the air force started talking about a new topic.

"The New Year is getting ready... Do you want to come to my rented house to celebrate the New Year together? I know a lot of young people who are willing to get together on that day."

"What is the Great Dark Sun?"

"We usually finish all the preparations for the New Year by noon on this day, and in the evening the family gathers around the fire to celebrate the New Year, so it is also called the Great Dark Day."

"Ah, then I understand what it means, but forget it," Su Hong put away his fishing equipment and counted his backpack, "We Chinese generally don't celebrate the New Year of the New Calendar, we celebrate the New Year of the Old Calendar. .”

"The old first month."

"Although I don't quite understand whether the Old New Year is what we call the Lunar New Year, but from the description, it seems to be similar - so forget it."

Su Hong didn't pay attention to Uncle Xitian's invitation. Instead, he waved to him and said, "Let's go." Then he walked alone to the suburban hotel where he lived, planning to throw the fish in his backpack into the storage box first. .

The days of fishing were very leisurely, and before I knew it, the days passed by as fast as the days when I was fighting each other with French sticks in the Blood Alliance Knights. I was full of money, and I had been playing bad in this game for more than a year.

If it were another system, his reputation would already be such that when he was mentioned in Aincrad, everyone would give him a thumbs up to praise his strength, and he would also post crazy posts with many beautiful girls, but now Aincrad When the players of Ngrantri mentioned him, they might spit in praise of his disturbing behavior during this year.

——Although the feeling is not much different.

Su Hong hummed a tune for his own entertainment and returned to the hotel room. After throwing today's fishing harvest into the storage box, he began to prepare his own dinner. However, he received a system prompt when he just arrived in the kitchen.

To be precise, it is a system announcement.

[This New Year will start a New Year’s event that lasts for about half a month. During the New Year’s event, players will receive a 150% experience bonus after defeating monsters. There is a small chance of conquering the maze and maze areas outside the circle. You will encounter rare New Year's Treasure Chests. 】

[Manufacturing players will enjoy the bonus of 'manufacturing skill proficiency increase' during the New Year, including many manufacturing skills such as 'carpentry', 'polar weapon making', 'tailoring', 'pharmaceutical', and 'forging'. raw materials will enjoy a [-]% discount during the New Year period. 】

[In this New Year, the new special NPC 'Storeya' will be refreshed in the main city on each floor. Go to find Storeya and accept New Year tasks to accumulate New Year points in exchange for 'Surprise Crystals'. There will be great achievements. There is a small chance of obtaining ultra-rare items such as the 'Resurrected Saint Crystal'. 】

"It's a New Year's event. Kayaba Akihiko is a rare person."

Su Hong turned off the system's prompt window and left the room to head to the central square of the Beginning Town. Before he arrived at the central square, he saw a surging crowd of people from a distance, which made him immediately give up his desire to squeeze in. , but turned around and headed to the grocery store to purchase a large amount of cloth, preparing to seize the time to develop her sewing skills.

It is not easy to reach the [Expert] level in sewing skills.

Although the skills and weapon skills of the manufacturing department also require 1000 proficiency points to be fully upgraded, the problem with the manufacturing department is that it requires a huge amount of money and repeated labor to support the proficiency level.

As for whether this game can achieve the desired effect——

In order to confirm whether the game Sword Art Online can create appearance, Su Hong even found an opportunity to be rude to Heathcliff in front of him, and finally got [If sewing skills cannot create appearance-type equipment] , maybe sewing skills need to have a compound effect with other skills to create the appearance you want to create]'s answer.

Because the game Aincrad is dynamically controlled through a very Western system, it is possible for [combination effects] to be produced by multiple skills.

This kind of interaction between skills is officially called [composite effect] among the player community.

If [Sewing] alone cannot create [Appearance], then Su Hong must study other life skills or manufacturing skills to achieve the design drawing of [Making Appearance].

Anyway, he is destined to struggle with appearance.

After Su Hong bought a supply of cloth at the grocery store, he went to the NPC's dessert shop to rest for an hour. Then he walked slowly to the now empty central square and met the NPC of Kayaba Akihiko's New Year's event.

——That was a female NPC wearing purple equipment.

She has lightly pink hair and vibrant red eyes. She looks like she is wearing a complicated dress that is a mix of purple and black. Her whole body is filled with the kind of complicated and nerdy costume designs in Moeji's works.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Stolea, I have-"

"skip!"

"I've been following you for a long time—"

"skip!"

"Um! Can you-"

"skip!"

"you really--"

"skip!"

Storeya looked at him with an angry expression, which made Su Hong feel a little subtle. He realized that the NPC in front of him didn't seem to be the low-artificial intelligence NPC in the Beginning Town.

"You shouldn't be able to have a normal conversation with me, right?"

"Of course I can talk, but you yourself have never wanted me to talk to you," Storeya said angrily, "Then I won't talk to you anymore, so you can leave."

Su Hong immediately muttered in a low voice, "TMD, what on earth is that idiot Kayaba Akihiko thinking in his head? Let a highly intelligent NPC take on the New Year's mission? If you have this time, you might as well design more mini games or leisure activities. How to play."

"Hey!"

"Forget it, it was my fault for not listening to you earlier. I apologize to you." Su Hong would not be angry at an NPC with strong artificial intelligence. "Do you have any troubles that you can let me help you answer?"

"After all, you still don't want to talk to me, obviously... forget it."

Storeya was still pouting as if she didn't want to talk to Su Hong, but Su Hong still received the system prompt, turned around and left, and called up the system's taskbar to view the details of the task.

"Hunt the buckwheat monster and collect the soba noodles... get the Ekata roll from the sushi monster... expel the ghosts... collect the puffer fish... collect the black beans... uh, why is there a mission to find the missing sister..."

36. Miss Argo, you don’t want to either…

Su Hong was not in a hurry to do the New Year's tasks. Instead, he returned to his hotel and spent the day happily. He had enough to eat and drink the next day before embarking on the journey to do the New Year's tasks.

However, when he followed the guidance of the mission and arrived at the place where monsters were spawned, he found that the place was already overcrowded. As soon as a buckwheat monster emerged, it was targeted by more than a dozen players with sword skills and hated on the spot, which made him retreat.

It's a bit embarrassing to say that he still outshines everyone in this kind of behavior of grabbing monsters.

He simply put away his idea of ​​killing monsters and collecting materials, turned around, and followed the instructions of the last mission, "Looking for the missing sister", which obviously had a follow-up mission.

Because this mission not only has an obvious follow-up mission, but it is also a strange mission with mission guidance - yesterday the mission also directed him to the town on the 13th floor, but now it has become the 27th floor. Compared with a simple New Year's mission, this mission The tasks are more worthy of his doing.

Su Hong slowly walked to the transfer door in the central square, took out the transfer crystal, and moved to the town on the seventh floor of No. 20, walking through the streets and alleys of the town as directed by the mission.

"How come the route of action for this mission target is so winding..."

Su Hong muttered and followed the instructions of the mission to the commercial street of the town. Finally, he saw Argo taking Yui into the grocery store from a distance, which also made him try to restrain his presence as much as possible to avoid being caught by Yui. .

If there was one person who brought him the most pressure in this game and was also the person he least wanted to see, then this person was undoubtedly Yui.

Although she behaves like an ordinary little girl now, she is indeed the person Su Hong is most afraid of seeing in this game.

Although the meme "People cannot generalize" is often used as a joke, but when this word is used in the concept of 'life coach', he must admit that this statement is correct.

Because Su Hong didn't think he was the one who could teach Yui about "life". He had long been like an octogenarian and didn't have many expectations for himself and his life, otherwise he wouldn't have been in trouble all the time.

A light novel-style fan work like "Reincarnated in Two-Dimension and You Have to Show Your True Skills" is a story that requires a male protagonist who is determined to fight!An incompetent young man like him who finds it too troublesome to fall in love, make friends, level up and become a game master cannot stage such a story at all!

Kirito is more or less one of the best among the many Japanese frozen eel male protagonists. Yui will naturally have a lot of potential by following him, but if she follows Su Hong in the [AI life training], there may be 90.00% nine. There is a chance that an OTAKU uncle type Gabriel AI will be trained.

——Just thinking about this kind of thing is terrifying.

Su Hong kept looking for this area to contact as many NPCs as possible, looking for the [missing sister] in the mission, but the AI ​​in this area made him search all over, and the system mission did not prompt to complete, so he He was a little confused - or he felt like his scalp was itching and he was about to grow a brain.

"Brother, are you looking for Yui?"

When Su Hong heard the voice coming from behind, he jumped forward a few steps and looked in shock at the AI ​​assassin who had touched behind him at some point and Argo, who was looking at him with squinted eyes.

"No, I'm doing whatever...wait a minute?"

The task in Su Hong's task list [Find the missing sister] suddenly changed to [Bring the missing sister back to Storeya], which also made his itchy and overheated brain instantly feel cold. At full power, he looked at Yui seriously for a moment, and then looked at Argo.

"Actually, I'm not doing a mission. I just have something to say to Argo."

"If you want to say anything, just say it quickly, don't waste time," Argo said very unhappily, "Anyway, you bastard wouldn't invite me and Yui to spend the first lunar month together."

"Actually, we can talk about this matter in private. There is no need to say this in front of Yui," Su Hong said seriously, "I really come here with my sincerity this time."

"Hey," Argo curled his lips, "Then tell me what you want from me."

"Have you met the NPC Storeya from the New Year's mission?"

"Yesterday when Kayaba Akihiko made the announcement, Yui and I had already returned to the hotel bath to take a bath. And wasn't the central square overcrowded last night?"

"In other words, you haven't had any contact with Storeia, right?"

"That's right, what's wrong?"

"Don't do this New Year's mission this time. It's best not to move to the first floor." Su Hong's face showed a serious look that Argo had never seen before, "Although I usually do He is someone who is not worthy of trust, but I am very serious about this matter and really want to gain your trust."

Argo was originally prepared to endure Su Hong's criticism, running away from trains, and going crazy, but he didn't expect that this time [Picture Qiong Dagger See] turned out to be a completely different serious adult's independent style from usual. Such a On the contrary, it felt more like a sudden attack, which made her even uncomfortable for a moment——

——It’s as disgusting as seeing a giant cockroach spread its wings and fly!

"I, I understand, you want me not to use the transfer crystal to go to the first floor, right? I, I will do that, please don't continue to communicate with me in this normal way... It's so super... So disgusting!”

Su Hong was shocked, "Why do you look like Sadako saw me?"

"It's not all because of what you said! Just let me ask you, okay! Don't ever talk to me like that again! This is really disgusting! Super disgusting! I can promise you to do a lot It’s okay! Please!”

Argo put his hands together and lowered his head to Su Hong, speaking incoherently. Su Hong, who had rushed back and forth on the Internet hundreds of times with a heart of steel and glass, could feel his blood pressure rising at this moment.

"My fucking..."

At this moment, even he felt that his face was extremely distorted and no longer looked like a normal person. Instead, he looked like the Egyptian shota Malik Isildar who used the underworld deck.

37. Although I feel very unhappy, I can’t find any reason why I cannot accept it.

Su Hong usually doesn't care much about Yui and Argo's affairs, but that doesn't mean that he really forgets about Yui, an artificial intelligence that far surpasses Chat GPT-4.

Although Su Hong has forgotten how Yui recalled that she is an artificial intelligence in the original plot, Storeya, as the New Year NPC, also has strong artificial intelligence performance and obvious joys and sorrows. In addition, Storeya Masahiro assigns [The Missing Sister] a mission that clearly points to Yui...

These various concepts are mixed together - no matter what the reward of this task is, this task chain should not be continued by others.

——In the NPC cafe on the 13th floor.

"Anyway, just don't wander around the streets with Yui during this period."

"What's the reason?"

Su Hong said casually, "Just think I'm crazy."

Argo breathed a sigh of relief.

——Although, although it is very subtle, this kind of Riddler style that does not speak human words is far more acceptable than the independent adult attitude just now.

"If you don't want to say it, just say it - but the New Year's activities during this period are the time when I want to be active as an information merchant, so you can take care of Yui by yourself during this period."
