Anime: Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation

He took the poached eggs out of the pot, put them on a plate, and said unhappily, "Are you up? Then go eat."

Kiritani Naoki nodded in response.

After breakfast, it’s natural to go out and kill monsters and level up.

I took Asuna out of the town and started today's monster hunting journey.

Time always passes by inadvertently like this.

Time flies like water, and the days when we can’t pretend to be cool pass by in a flash.

[I know readers don’t like this paragraph, so I won’t add any extra words]

After daily close interactions with Asuna, you can level up and kill monsters, which is a classic RPG game growth journey.

With the strength of four people, it was natural for them to clear the floors very quickly.

It only took half a year to reach the 30th floor.

Those lower-level players had already noticed that the number of floors was being opened up rapidly.

Some high-level players also noticed this situation, and they knew what was going on after just a quick search.

There were four people, four young people.

Two men and two women.

So far, all the floor bosses have been defeated by four people.

Chapter 58 Heathcliff's Invitation

Of course, most people basically have a longing attitude towards these four people.

If we say that the reason why Kiritani Kazuto was labeled as a cheater, it is actually largely because the top-level players affected the progress of the bottom-level players.

But if one clears the first level on the third day alone, defeating all enemies along the way and almost killing his way through the entire Aincrad, then such a player will be respected and admired by most players.

When the gap is big enough, so big that it is impossible to even compare with each other, the thoughts of comparison and hatred will naturally fade away.

Today's SAO players seem to be in a state of slacking off. To be precise, the base number of low-level players has increased, and the high-level players are still the same group of people, but they can all feel that the tense atmosphere has become much less.

Naturally, they will be less motivated, and because of the opening of more floors, high-level players will not occupy the resource areas of low-level players, and conflicts will not arise. As for the information of some dangerous monsters, the players who have closed the floors will also make corresponding data and distribute it to each new player.

There are still some conflicts, but they are much less than in the original work.

However, as the crusade progressed, the higher the level of the floor masters, the more difficult they became to deal with.

The strength of the BOSS on this specific floor will increase greatly, and each BOSS has strange abilities. It is not always possible to wait until the BOSS switches forms to activate the fire and kill the monster.

Some bosses will only drop a certain amount of health, and will not lose HP if the damage exceeds the fixed value. Some bosses move so quickly that there is no time for the four people to cooperate as a group.

In the end, the four of them formed a team with Naoki Kiritani as the main attacker, Kazuto Kiritani as the substitute, Asuna in charge of connecting with the stiffness and creating the right opportunity for the two to switch sword skills, and Fukusumi Usagi was responsible for dealing with unexpected situations.

The four of them have a fixed and matching combination, so they can overcome all the obstacles along the way.

It’s a pity that no matter how strong the four of them are, they are still short of manpower.

Defeating the BOSS has never been an easy task. Most of the time, a team of attackers is dispatched to defeat the boss. This trend becomes more and more obvious towards the end.

However, in order to avoid being robbed of his kills by others, Naoki Kiritani has been constantly improving his strength.

In fact, with his high attack power, the final blow of the BOSS was delivered by Naoki Kiritani.

In fact, the gap between closed beta players and ordinary players is only a few months of game time. The main source of strength is the difference in information. As the game time goes on, this information gap will become smaller and smaller. If the so-called closed beta testers fail to get rid of the civilian players who catch up, they will also be surpassed.

Although Naoki Kiritani and his four-member team are very powerful, players are not saying that they have done nothing.

The original strategy team was finally formed.

The Knights of the Blood appeared out of nowhere, and the founder of the Knights of the Blood was Heathcliff. Of course, the so-called Heathcliff was Kayaba Akihiko.

Known as the "Holy Sword", he has never been defeated in a one-on-one fight, and no one has ever seen his HP drop below 40% (because he is protected by the system).

His outstanding combat capability (GM authority) and leadership skills also led some to give him the title of the strongest player in SAO.

And now, Naoki Kiritani is facing such a problem.

"Hello, Roya, I have heard of your name, and I believe you know me too." This is what Heathcliff said to a tall, square-faced, dignified-looking uncle who was holding a large and heavy silver-white cross shield and exuding a fierce aura.

Naoki Kiritani was about to say something but was interrupted by the other party.

"Then, I guess you should know what I want to do when I come here."

Heathcliff pointed at the three people behind the young man and said in a deep voice, "You are all powerful players. To be honest, no one can be like you. In just half a year, you have already cleared the 30th floor."

Without waiting for anyone to respond, he continued, "You are very powerful, there is no doubt about that. At the beginning, I was very curious about who cleared the first level on the third day of the game. Then you cleared the second level on the sixth day, and defeated the boss of the third level on the ninth day. Your record really surprised me. To be honest, this game doesn't have cheats. I even suspected that you used them."

Hearing Heathcliff's words, Kiritani Naoki's mouth twitched. He glanced at the three people beside him without leaving a trace. In fact, what Heathcliff said was right. He did use a cheat, but it was a blood-locking cheat. Now that the GM was right in front of him, Kiritani Naoki only felt excited.

It is a fact that Naoki Kiritani rewrote the codes of the three people's HP. He was really worried that the other party would notice something. Although this abnormality was very small, and even if it was not the last bit of blood, that string of abnormal codes would not take effect automatically, but there was always a feeling of a mouse seeing a cat.

What does it mean to cheat in front of the authorities?

But the GM at the moment doesn’t seem to have noticed anything unusual?

While feeling relieved in my heart, I silently gave the other person the middle finger.

You are the GM, and you are the only one allowed to cheat. You are not allowed to cheat others.

Heathcliff's deep voice came again, interrupting Kiritani Naoki's thoughts: "Well, now, on behalf of the Blood Alliance Knights, I sincerely invite you to join us."

Naoki Kiritani fixed his gaze on the meticulous man in front of him and fell silent.

Do you accept it? Or do you reject it?

Naoki Kiritani's choice is actually inclined towards rejection, no matter from which perspective.

First of all, he himself is abnormal. He needs to hunt BOSSes and devour the souls of the owners of each floor to complete the system tasks and light up his golden eyes. Therefore, it is impossible for him to join a big guild from the beginning.

But if I refuse, Naoki Kiritani narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the other person's face, and asked: "What if I refuse your invitation?"

Heathcliff sighed, feeling a little regretful. He said bluntly, "You are all top players. I didn't expect to convince you all at once. But you can also feel that as the floors get higher, the strength of the four of you alone is not enough. Forget it, as long as you figure it out, you can come to me anytime."

Ahem, the author has to catch up on some anime. Um, I also have to read the original novel of Musashi: Re:Zero (Starting Life in Another World), and I have exams this week. I also have to read a book on civil engineering, so, well, I will try my best to ensure the quality.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 59 Alice's Compromise

When Naoki Kiritani heard Heathcliff say this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really a little afraid that the other party would suddenly get angry and cause trouble for him.

The breath of relief that had just been released was ruined again by the other party's words.

"By the way, I'm actually very interested in you. We can have a sparring match when we have time." Heathcliff patted Naoki Kiritani's shoulder.

The corner of Naoki Kiritani's mouth twitched. Can he win in a duel with Guaibi?

The answer is naturally no. Although his own body data has been planned as reality, the other party has not. However, the other party still has the authority of this world. It can even be said that as long as the other party wants, he will still be the creator of this world.

So, is it possible for me to defeat such a creator on the creator's territory?

GM authority is almost unlimited and equivalent to the creation of the world. Naoki Kiritani doesn't want to compete with the opponent at this time.

You can't win if you fight, and if you lose it's a real loss.

In the original work, Kazuto Kiritani almost killed GM with his Starburst Air Slash, but the GM used Time Stop and a stab to end the fight.

How do you say to fight? Lock health and defense, and at the critical moment, you can use GM authority to stop time.

It is called a fair duel, but in reality the big guy is just using a smurf to tease you.

Just like Honghuang Luoya's clone traveling around the human world, you never know what the other person will look like when he appears in front of you.

In short, this person is someone who cannot be defeated and cannot be provoked.

Naoki Kiritani smiled but did not respond directly to the other party's words.

After Heathcliff left, Asuna came over curiously and asked, "Why didn't you accept the other party's invitation? If you accept, maybe you can improve your strategy better, right?"

Naoki Kiritani shook his head and said, "It's not that simple, Asuna. There's something wrong with that person."

Kiritani Kazuto, who had originally shown no interest, instantly perked up. He came over curiously and asked, "Is there anything wrong with him?"

It was impossible for Naoki Kiritani to directly say that the other party was Kayaba Akihiko's pseudonym, right? He could only say with a heavy face: "I don't know, my intuition tells me."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Tong Gu He Ren smiled and patted his eldest brother on the shoulder. He said, "Brother, although the other party's expression is a bit fierce, it can't be said that there is anything wrong with him, right?"

Naoki Kiritani smiled meaningfully without explaining anything, and the three of them shook their heads indifferently.

"Well then, let's begin our strategy." Naoki Kiritani announced to everyone.

The group began to move forward steadily.

Continue your monster hunting journey.

On the other hand, Luo Ya didn't know at this time that Naoki Kiritani had so many youngest sons.

At this moment, he was worried about a problem.

How to solve the problem of Red Hair not liking to study right now.

He was obviously very interested in learning sword skills and was swinging the wooden sword with all his strength, but when he heard about learning magic, his expression instantly fell and he showed an expression that said, "Don't bother me."

When Rudeus was about to teach her how to read, he was beaten out by Alice.

Looking at the closed door in front of him, Luo Ya had a headache.

He shouted, "Alice, let Rudeus in. You can't possibly learn nothing."

A cold snort came from inside, and the door closed tightly, with no intention of opening at all.

Rudeus looked at his elder brother with a bruised face and nose. He said aggrievedly, "Brother, this girl is so fierce."

Luo Ya nodded. It was true. Although the other party couldn't do anything to him, he could refuse to cooperate.

This is the situation right now. The other party didn't even listen to the magic teaching that I had worked so hard to prepare. He just turned his head and played with his hair.

No matter how I remind the other person, he just won't listen.

Taking a deep breath and exhaling, Luo Ya said loudly, "Master Gilenu, why are you here?"

"Gillenu? Where is he?" Rudeus looked back and was slapped hard on the head by Roya. He understood instantly.

Footsteps were soon heard in the room, and Alice poked her head out excitedly and asked loudly, "Master Gilenu?"

She regretted it as soon as she opened the door, realizing she had fallen into a trap.

Where did the Gilenu come from? There was only a gloomy-faced Roya.

Alice subconsciously shrank her head back, but was grabbed by the collar by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Luo Ya.

Luo Ya's face was as gloomy as water, and his cold eyes swept across Alice's cheek.

Alice swallowed her saliva and said loudly, "What do you want to do? I didn't do anything. I didn't skip your class. I've already given you enough face."

Alice also felt very aggrieved. In her opinion, the other party just wanted to be paid, and she really had no interest in learning. In this case, everyone should take a step back, she would also take the other party's class, and the other party could also get a salary, and the interests of all parties would not conflict. Isn't this perfect?

This was the solution Alice came up with after a whole night of careful consideration.

She was a girl who was not good at thinking, so it was not easy for her to think of this. When she came up with this idea, she was also proud of her wisdom.

If Luo Ya knew what she was thinking, he would probably curl his lips and sneer. This guy just admitted defeat. The so-called taking a step back actually meant that although she admitted defeat, she would not admit defeat.

You continue your tutoring, and I continue my playboyhood.

That's roughly what it means.

The main reason why Alice made this choice was that she couldn't beat Roya.

In fact, she also refused at the beginning and tried to confront Luo Ya head-on, but the fact proved that she was no match for him and was chased all over the house. When she told her father and grandfather, they just smiled and said nothing. This made Alice realize that her family was determined to push her into the fire pit.

Just grit your teeth and stay indoors.

Her idea was very simple. Since violence could not solve the problem, she would adopt non-violent non-cooperation, stay indoors, get angry with herself, and go on a hunger strike for three days. She didn't believe that this would not force the other party to leave.

You know what, even though Alice is simple-minded, this method does work.

After all, Alice is their sweetheart.

When Philip heard that his daughter refused to eat, he began to put pressure on Roya. Roya had no choice but to use some special means to sneak into the other party's house.

Then after a day of peaceful negotiations, Alice, wearing little pearls, was forced to sign an unequal treaty in humiliation.
