What the hell is this movie theater?

It was precisely because he understood the shortcomings of the [Movie Viewer] that he took action.

If he can keep fishing until Kirito clears Sword Art Online, then even if the system's slicing ability is superb, it will be a waste of time.

——It’s just that reality didn’t develop as he thought.

Now the idea of ​​dealing with [System Slicing] in his mind has completely collapsed. It has collapsed to the point where he has to take the initiative to reverse his character design, find Kayaba Akihiko and Shinka, and explain that he wants to join the strategy team to ensure that he can definitely kill Keima Katsuragi. the point.

Because he does not have the strength or ability to be a top-notch player, joining the strategy team is an act of throwing eggs at rocks. He might die suddenly on the spot in a strategy battle one day——

Even if the ability of [System Slicing] is superb, it can't save a man who went crazy in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages of the story, he joined the strategy team without knowing what he could do, and staged an ICU ward where the character collapsed and died before the start. story.

"Are you still in a bad mood? Mr. Su Hong."

Storeya's voice made Su Hong glance at the grassland pasture on the side.

She held the straw hat on her head with her right hand to prevent it from blowing away in the wind. His eyes caught the hem of her white dress flying in the wind and her well-fitted legs.

Faced with this kind of beautiful picture that needs to be described emphatically in novels, and even with close-ups of exquisite characters and clothing in animation, Su Hong just used his "instinct as a man to like to look at beautiful girls" to quickly look at it. Stolea glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze.

"Who do you think my mood is due to? Isn't it because of your artificial retardation that caused the trouble?"

"Hmm... maybe this is the legendary [good intentions leading to bad things], right?"

Storeya was also troubled that things would change like this.

Although her starting point and original intention of contacting Su Hong as a spiritual support program that regulates the player's heart was good, it is an undoubted fact that what she did caused Su Hong distress and annoyance.

But she quickly cheered up her mood and said with a smile.

"But I didn't specifically monitor your inner emotional changes. It's just that your expression looked really depressed."

"whispering sound."

Su Hong did not continue to say anything, but just silently looked at the scenery of the pasture under the sunset. Although he had lived here for a long time, he was indeed not as bored as he was now watching the sunset on the pasture.

But Storeya didn't let him go, and said to herself, "I'm going back."

"Finally, I no longer have troublesome people pestering me," Su Hong responded casually, "It is undoubtedly a good thing for me. I really congratulate myself."

Hearing this, Storeya couldn't help but show a helpless expression to him, "Do you really dislike me that much?"

"If someone keeps giving you trouble, you can't say you like it anyway, right? It's just that I'm the one who gives you trouble, so if I say how angry I am, it's actually not that I like it. Not that much."

"Although I want to do good things, I can't help things turn out like this... maybe this is what you call life," Storeya laughed with relief, "I'm sorry, because my My willfulness has caused you trouble... If we have another chance to meet in the future, I will find a way to apologize to you."

"If you have another chance to come out and look out for the enemy in the future, if you really want to apologize, just go and pester Kirito... After all, for me, no matter how you apologize, it's better to just go and pester him. It’s a good idea to come with Kirito.”

"Is this really all it takes?"

"Ah, there is no one in this game who is more suitable for you to pester than him."

53. Gou——

Su Hong woke up when the sun shone into the window sill as usual. He washed up and walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for himself as usual. After eating, he went directly to the Blood Alliance Knights' station on the fifth floor of No. 20.

Yesterday, he was rarely absent from the performance in the central square.

Even though Storeya, the artificially retarded person, put his position in this situation, Storeya's words before leaving still temporarily defeated the keyboard guy's Taoist heart, as if the white boy had been possessed. Magnetic field lock.

If it weren't for the fact that Storeya, an artificially retarded person, was exposed to the [Resurrected Saint Crystal] by him in just a few words, and the guilt that arose in his heart for bullying the mentally retarded person, Su Hong would have reluctantly listened to Stolea. With Leya's persuasion, she was willing to waste her time to meet Sachi who received a bento in the original animation.

Storeya also apologized sincerely after discovering that she had done bad things with good intentions... But precisely because her apology was so sincere, it made Su Hong feel that he was bullying an artificially retarded person.

Damn it, idiots are indeed the killers of human society.

However, as a master assassin who has played "Assassin's Creed 1234" produced by Tudou Company, Su Hong naturally has his own understanding of the doctrine of "all things are false and all things are allowed", and naturally believes that everything he has done so far is right. .

[Everything is false] is [Sword Art Online]. This world is all false to him. As an ordinary person, no matter how much he makes trouble, no matter how great the butterfly effect is, the worst result is his death.

[Everything is allowed] As a newcomer from the electronic world who was created and flown here from his own world, the law has no meaning to him. The only thing that restrains him is his own moral concept.

The matter has reached this point, and there is no point in pursuing how it has evolved to this point.

because--

Even though he was just going crazy in this game, it was no joke.

Su Hong came to the guild headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights and met again with the two players who were watching the gate yesterday. "Do I still want to wait for you to go in and report?"

The player who was rude to him yesterday shook his head crazily, "No, no, no."

"Then I'll go in."

Su Hong didn't care why the player changed his attitude towards him. He entered the castle easily and came to Xinka's office door. He knocked on the door twice and pushed the door open when he received no response.

The office was currently deserted, so Su Hong sat down directly in front of the sofa in the office, crossed his legs and climbed onto the back of the sofa with his hands, closed his eyes and waited for the arrival of Xinka and the others.

Yesterday, Xinka sent a text message asking him to come to the Blood Alliance Knights to discuss elite players taking him to upgrade. This is also the reason why he appears in Xinka's office now.

When his brainstorming began to think about the topic of "Voldemort and Fred Mature", Xinka opened the door and brought in the players familiar and unfamiliar to Su Hong.

"Sorry, sorry, it's a waste of time waiting for them all to gather."

Su Hong did not respond to Xinka's social language, but used the remaining memory in his mind to inquire about the composition of the thighs that would take him off.

Kirito, Asuna and Kirito's good friends, I forgot their names. In addition, there is a girl with a purple ponytail carrying a scythe and another girl with long red hair and a sword at her waist.

Su Hong nodded with satisfaction after checking the composition of the team members.

"Except for Kirito and Asuna, who don't need to be introduced, everyone else should introduce themselves to me - yes, let's introduce ourselves to the man next to Kirito who looks very much like Kirito's wingman."

The man's eyes widened immediately, "I've never been Kirito's wingman! It's too ugly to call me Kirito's wingman! At least you should call me Kirito's relative and friend!"

"Well, well," Kirito stretched out his hands to make peace in embarrassment, "He is Klein, the guildmaster of Fengshan Forest, and a top-notch swordsman... And he really didn't give me credit. Pass the wingman!"

——Also, why does a character like Kirito need a wingman to assist him?

"It's my fault," Su Hong nodded to admit his mistake, and then looked at the purple pony-tailed girl with a scythe, "May I ask who you are?"

She just sighed, "My name is Mitt, and I am a scythe user."

Before Su Hong could express his sharp comments to her, the last red-haired girl who had not introduced herself introduced herself before Su Hong could say anything, "My name is Ling Yin, I am a one-handed sword user - I am also a first-class Players.”

Xinka was relieved to see that their contact was relatively harmonious.

"Mr. Su Hong, they are all the top experts in the strategy group. Except for Klein, the president of Fenghuoshuolin, who may temporarily withdraw from the team due to guild matters, other players are enough to lead you on the front line. Leveled up – hope you get along well with them.”

"I have no intention of getting into trouble with them. It would be better to say that if I didn't have the need to level up, I wouldn't have much contact with them - you can rest assured on this."

Su Hong casually called up the system bar and sent an invitation to the five people present. Kirito, Klein and the beautiful girl named Ling Yin agreed to be the fastest, followed by Asuna and Mitte.

"My leveling time cannot be as intense as yours. I only level from noon to afternoon, and I will provide your lunch and dinner. You can handle the rest of the time freely - you continue to form a team. I don’t care about spawning monsters or falling in love with beautiful girls and good gay friends.”

"This is mainly the leveling time decided by Heathcliff and I. I told you before," Xinka relaxed the atmosphere at this time, "Now he has become the night card of the starting town. If he follows you at night, If you level up together, unnecessary problems may occur - although the upgrade speed is not fast, at least it is safer and more stable."

"That's right," Klein nodded in agreement, "After all, he is considered a celebrity. It is understandable if he disappears for a week or two, but if he disappears for a month or two, there will inevitably be some bad rumors."

Kirito also nodded in agreement, "After all, the store manager is very famous..."

"In short," Su Hong clapped his hand to stop their chatter, "the organization has decided that Kirito will be the captain of our team. I hope everyone will obey his command."

"Ah, ah?" Kirito showed an expression of being caught off guard, "Me?!"

"Brother Daoguang, I think there is an ancient Chinese poem that you should know -"

At this time, Su Hong stood up from the sofa and patted Kirito on the shoulder, as if the devil was tempting him to fall into hell, his whole body was filled with the dark side of the force.

"Gou..."

54. Blanch!

As a modern netizen who has experienced hundreds of battles on the Internet, Su Hong is not only knowledgeable, but at least he has seen a lot of markets - even if he has never eaten pork, he can still see countless pigs. Running all over the floor.

Whenever there is a scene in animations or movies where the protagonist needs training to become stronger, a "Rocky"-style training montage is always used to express this process.

That is to say, using the time of a song, the camera matches the scenes of the protagonist doing different trainings, editing or describing the beautiful scenes, so that people can understand and follow the process with the music.

Whenever the music ends, the process of the protagonist becoming stronger also ends.

Su Hong didn't think there was anything montageable about his upgrade process.

After all, Su Hong is actually just a pendant in the team. After finding an opportunity to add BUFF to Kirito and others, he will OMO next to him, just like an idle magical cat tied to others and only occasionally using his skills.

Su Hong's greatest contribution to this team may be that he served as a chef to provide free lunch and dinner for Kirito and others at noon.

——Just like now.

Su Hong made a fire to cook in the clearing of the forest, while the thugs who had been busy all morning sat under the shade of the trees nearby and shared their experiences and opinions about Aincrad.

"Speaking of which -" Kirito raised today's topic with emotion, "Although the current floor has been conquered to the ninth floor of No. 30, the attributes and skill sets of the floor BOSS are not at the same level of difficulty as the previous BOSS - I’m afraid the difficulty will increase a lot when we reach the first level.”

"Well, I don't think you need to worry too much about this." Klein next to Kirito patted his shoulder, "Anyway, as long as your deputy captain, who is probably the strongest player in the game, is here, , even if the difficulty of the BOSS on the following floors will increase, as long as your deputy captain takes action, it will only be a matter of time before the floor is breached, right?"

"Although it's true that the deputy captain may be the strongest player in the game, we can't always place our hopes on the deputy captain," Ling Yin, who was sitting not far from the two of them, picked up the topic. , "The deputy captain has never made a move except once on the No. 30 floor. Isn't the purpose of not making a move so that we can become stronger on our own and not become a hindrance?"

"...That's right," Kirito agreed, "No matter how strong the deputy captain is, he is only one person. The strategy battle to conquer the floor BOSS will not always pass without casualties. Players who die in the floor BOSS will always need to It will take more people to make up for it, which is probably why the deputy captain asked us to conquer floors 31-39 by ourselves."

"The deputy leader may be a little anxious," Ling Yin nodded and looked at Kirito and asked curiously, "After all, I heard that someone in our guild's frontline strategy team seemed to have quit the team because of the FNC phenomenon. Then, The longer we live in this game, the higher the possibility of FNC happening..."

The NFC phenomenon refers to latent connection disorders, and the specific symptoms reflected by this disease are 'frame drops' and 'flickers' in games.

People with this disease will have no problem living in the town of Aincrad, but if they want to enter the BOSS room and fight the BOSS, the phenomenon of 'frame drop' and 'flash' will become extremely fatal.

"Ah, I heard about it too." Klein raised his hand at this time, "Is it the player named Nokilas? It seems that he encountered the FNC phenomenon while performing a certain mission."

Asuna, who had never spoken before and was sitting alone in the distance, suddenly spoke.

"In the end, this is just a game. Even if it can simulate reality, it will only be a simulated game world after all."

"There's nothing we can do, right?" Mitt, who was sitting not far from Asuna, also said, "Even if it's just a game, it's a game where death is real. If we don't break through the first floor for a long time, the FNC phenomenon will happen. In our case, I’m afraid it’s also a matter of time…”

"So what," Asuna said calmly, "Even if we die here, we will really die, but games are just games. Even if we are killed by monsters in the game, our real way of death is Kayaba Akihiko Destroying the brain by sending microwaves through the device in the NERvGear helmet - just pure murder."

After hearing this, Mitt stopped saying anything, but lowered his head and fell silent.

Kirito noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere between the two of them, and looked at Klein and Ling Yin beside him. Just when he was about to say something, Su Hong's voice sounded before him.

"You guys are chatting about your mother. Dinner is ready."

"..."

What the store manager said was really hurtful...

Although Kirito sighed in his heart, he still took the lead as usual and went to the big pot placed by Su Hong, opened the system, took out the bowls and chopsticks, and handed them to Su Hong.

"Today is different from the past. I have something to discuss with Kirito in private, so you can prepare your own meals."

Su Hong directly grabbed Kirito, who still wanted to eat, and pulled him into the small forest at an extremely fast speed. This made Kirito feel the slightest danger of going crazy while he was stunned, making him tremble.

Even though I heard that the store manager now goes to the central square of the Beginning Town to have a fit every night after leveling up every day, but in the past two months, the store manager has never gone crazy while teaming up to fight monsters. Times - more often than not, he watched them calmly like an outsider.

This is why Kirito feels trembling.

In fact, Kirito, Lingyin, and Claire also talked about the abnormality of the store manager when they teamed up to upgrade in the evening - after a brief discussion, they reached a consensus on concepts.

[Although the current store manager only looks normal on the surface, but in relation to his performance in the initial town the previous year, the store manager's "relative normality" is "absolute abnormality". 】

[The store manager's "relative normality" is like a "spring that continues to gather strength," like the "calm before the storm." As long as this continuous strength suddenly bursts out...]

...If this continuously accumulated power just exploded against him alone...

The store manager let go of his hand while he was thinking tremblingly, and then his devil-like voice came faintly into his ears.

"You kid... I've given you two months. Why haven't you become boyfriend and girlfriend with Asuna yet? Instead, you are so close to Ling Yin... You deserve the cultivation I have given you. ?"

"Ah...ah? Why should Asuna and I become boyfriend and girlfriend...?"

"... Then why are you so close to Ling Yin? If Klein wasn't by your side, Ling Yin would have sat right next to you..."

"...Because, Lingyin and I have known each other for a long time, and our relationship is pretty good..."

"We've known each other for a long time...what's going on?"

Kirito really smelled the danger this time, swallowed his saliva and explained hurriedly.

"Back then, when the first-level strategy team meeting was held, store manager, you said, store manager, you said you were not a player in the strategy group, and you knew me when you pointed to other people and asked me to form a team. At that time, you pointed out The player is Ling Yin... Ling Yin and I met and became friends at that time!"

--Hold!
