Chapter 98 [Give Me Your Buttocks! ]
Rock, Kirito and others left here at the same time.
And the Aire Church at night, after someone left, remained silent.
Even the King of Kiba, who had just yelled to the beta testers to share information, was just leaning against the corner with his legs hugged, motionless.
This is not the first time that someone has confidently gone out to kill monsters at night... but how many can come back from the night?
No, no one has seen it yet.
Monsters are obviously more suitable for the night than players, and are more proficient in how to hunt at night.
The time of roaring, screaming, and wailing has long passed, and they have begun to walk towards numbness.
King of Kiba risked being chopped to death by the tree guards, yelling here and blaming the beta testers, not for any great goal, but just to occupy a good position and sleep well at night.
Just for this broken corner.
King of Kiba pressed his face against the dilapidated wall, and the feeling of relying on something made him curl up subconsciously and nestle here.
As for getting information, leveling up and saving the world...
Don't be ridiculous... In this kind of rotten world, it's impossible for anyone to pass the game with one life...
What's more, on the first day of the death game, the information had already spread among the player group.
The Drifting Cemetery at the starting point has a golden bow, golden seeds, and the "Lost Knight Ogre", which is said to be the most powerful ashes during the internal test period.
But what can I do if I know it? King Kiba thought of the poison pool and the huge chariot that crushed flesh and blood in the Drifting Cemetery, and his heart trembled again.
If he hadn't turned back quickly, he might have died there.
What's more, they don't have the "holy grail bottle" and "resurrection bell" mentioned by the internal test players now, so it's useless even if they get the golden seeds and ashes.
Thinking of this, King Kiba closed his eyes again.
In this world, it's better to live one day at a time.
...
"Hey! Wait!" Kirito hurriedly called Rock.
"You're not going to the forest cave in the north, are you..."
There is a huge mountain goblin to the west of the Aire Church, a big tree guards the entrance to the east, and the south is the direction they came from.
If you want to level up, you can only go to the caves and cemeteries in the north, or play military battles with the Grek soldiers in the forest at night.
But...
"During the internal test period, players had the Holy Grail Bottle, which can be used to restore blood and mana, and the Soul Summoning Bell can summon ashes to help resist the BOSS... But now there is nothing, I don't recommend you to go to the cemetery rashly." Kirito wanted to persuade Rock to turn back.
"This is indeed a troublesome point..."
Rock also nodded. It is really hurt to lose these things.
The Holy Grail Bottle is okay. Everyone in the Faded Ring has one, which means there are still channels to obtain it.
But for the Soul Summoning Bell, Rock has no clue how to get it except the witch Lani.
And the spirit horse Torret, losing this cute pony is the most hurtful.
Rock couldn't even go to the Corruption Land of Galid to get the "Meteorite Staff" which was considered a divine weapon in the early stage.
"Right." Kirito breathed a sigh of relief, "You should go back with me first. We can fight the Grek soldiers together to earn runes tomorrow."
"I can help you level up then."
Runes are not only the money of the borderland, but also the experience of upgrading the faded ones.
Kirito estimated his current strength, and it was the limit to bring one more person during the day.
"The runes obtained during the day should not be as many as at night, right?" Rock asked back.
At night, there will be more monsters that receive the gift of the golden tree. The characteristic is that their eyes will glow with gold under the same appearance. Killing them can get five times the runes of normal monsters!
"But... there is a reason why the benefits are greater at night. The borderland is more dangerous at night. Even with my strength, I can only protect myself at night."
Kirito hesitated. He didn't want to see the friend he just met die.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't even care about Rock. Upgrading alone and maximizing benefits is the normal way.
Because the reward for killing a monster in this game is only the last hit.
This mechanism can easily cause conflicts between temporarily formed teams.
"It would be great if you can protect yourself. After all, even I don't want to take three people at the same time." Rock pointed behind Kirito.
Three?
Who are the other two?
Kirito subconsciously turned his head, drew his weapons with both hands, and slashed at the back!
"Klein??"
"It's me! It's me!" Klein, dressed as a samurai, waved his hand hurriedly, indicating that he was his own.
He was startled by Kirito's light-speed knife.
"Acquaintance?" Rock asked.
"Well... I met him on the first day." Kirito lowered his head.
On the first day, he also taught Klein how to operate, but then the two soon learned that the life and death game had begun and they could not escape the world.
Klein had to find his guild partners, and Kirito couldn't take so many newcomers at the same time.
So the two had to go their separate ways temporarily.
"Where are your guildmates?" Kirito put away his weapon and looked at the other person curiously: "Could this be...?"
"No, no, no!" Klein waved his hands hastily, "She followed you two out like me."
"As for my companions... they are all dead, crushed by the chariot in the drifting cemetery." Klein's words were filled with sadness and a hint of fear.
The Elden Ring did not seem to process the restricted images.
If a friend is crushed, he is crushed alive.
The flesh foam even splashed into Klein's eyes, leaving his memory of that day only with a scarlet color.
"……Feel sorry."
Kirito didn't know what to say.
Klein didn't want the atmosphere to get so bad because of him, so he quickly changed the topic: "Oops! I almost forgot! The person who came with me is a super beautiful girl, haha, how lucky..."
He was panting heavily, and tears seemed to come out.
It's a bit difficult to expect a sad person to make a grandiose tone.
But Rock and Kirito were not so disrespectful, and they looked at the other person cooperatively: she was wearing a stargazer's robe, and she used a cloak to cover her eyes as much as possible. appearance.
"Asuna..." she whispered.
This name...is it a girl?
Kirito shrank his head subconsciously, lifted up the cloth strip on the swordsman's uniform, covered his face, and then quietly looked at Rock.
After Asuna introduced her name, she silently took off her cloak and looked at Rock.
She heard Roark's words at the church in Airey.
"Please, I want to team up with you." She bowed and said, but still held the stargazing stick in her hand.
Rock looked at Asuna. He didn't understand. Klein caught up with him because he knew Kirito, but what about Asuna?
In the public beta, the degree of freedom of the magic ring has increased by a large level.
You can even steal other people's equipment and steal other people's things.
This situation, to put it bluntly... is not very friendly to a weak person with a pretty face.
Good looks are a drawback here.
It stands to reason that such people should be more wary of others.
Kirito seemed to see what Rock was thinking: "Maybe it's because you two are in the same situation? They're both special models!"
"Special modeling?" Rock gestured with his fingers between the two of them.
Special modeling refers to modeling that is difficult for players to reproduce simply by pinching their faces.
But the players here are all their original appearance, there is no modeling.
"Kirito probably means that you two are very good-looking." Klein, a game otaku, immediately understood.
I see……
"It seems that my charm has impressed you."
Luo Ke nodded seriously.
"No..." Asuna retorted quietly.
With a superior family, she can actually see more things.
Asuna can roughly guess what the future players will be like.
For example, thieves have appeared in the current player group. This group of people are afraid of fighting and want to make a living by stealing other people's runes.
She has good observation skills and has seen several such people.
Some people may even not mind killing other players anymore.
Because you can also get runes by killing players, and you can even explode equipment from the corpse.
On the third day, a player in the team was suspected of being killed.
Maybe it was an accidental injury... Anyway, the player is dead, and Rune is not known to have been taken away by who.
Because killing a rookie player who has no operation is even easier than killing a Grek soldier, and the initial equipment dropped by the player is even better.
In this case, there is no safe zone and novice players who dare not go out to explore and can only cower next to the blessing are very likely to be robbed of resources by powerful players in the later stage.
It's okay to survive by turning in runes. If someone with outstanding looks like her is still weak without the protection of the system...
At that time, I'm afraid I can only write a piece of advice saying "It's time to offer my buttocks".
…
Asuna looked at Rock.
The other party has excellent looks, and may even be more popular than her to some extent. His chosen profession is still a "useless person", and he only wears a piece of cloth. At first glance, he looks very perverted.
To be chased by a bear, you don't need to run faster than the bear, you just need to run faster than your companions.
Asuna felt that if she had Rock as a teammate, she might not be so conspicuous, and Rock's appearance might make it easier to attract perverts.
Of course...the most important thing is:
Asuna felt that this guy was strong enough. Even though the opponent's situation was as bad as hers, he was still able to reach Airei Church first without any equipment and occupy a good position.
Rock's action of throwing the relic stone to attract the attention of the tree guard just now made Asuna even more enlightened.
It's a very simple operation, but I never thought of it.
Her profession is that of a stargazer, or Master. This technique of attracting the attention of monsters is something Asuna finds very useful to her.
It was firmly established in her mind that Rock was a closed beta player, and he should be able to learn many similar skills.
She wants to become stronger and survive in the borderland.
"...I don't want to die, and I don't want to live like that." Asuna tightened her grip on the stargazing stick.
"Don't you want to live like that..." Rock nodded in approval: "Although this reason is not as real as being moved by my charm, it is still okay."
"Then let's go! Kill a few Grek soldiers first."
"Wait, Rock—"
Kirito stretched out his hand and was about to say a few words of persuasion, but his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because Rock transformed and was instantly equipped with the armor and sword of the "Wandering Knight" profession.
Kirito's movements slowly stopped, and his hand even subconsciously pressed on the weapon.
Even Asuna trembled violently after seeing this scene.
"Eh? How did you get this equipment? Aren't you a useless person?"
Only Klein didn't understand the situation.
"Oh? Are you talking about this?"
Rock turned back to look at the three people and said with a smile:
"Of course it's because I killed a knight player."
"I remember it was on the third day..."
At that time, he hadn't entered the gray fog space yet.
When Rock's voice fell, the breathing of the three people seemed to stagnate.
The night at the border was quieter at this moment.
