“That's the choice a normal heterosexual male would make.”
Klein immediately retorted loudly: “If you had a choice, one is a group of sweaty men shouting and swinging swords together, and the other is a group of youthful and energetic girls. What would you choose? I think many people wouldn't choose the former!”
“You're hopeless.”
Kirito covered his forehead in frustration, sighing as he said.
“It seems there's no shortcut for me, a complete newbie, to quickly master swordsmanship in SAO.”
Klein sighed with a heavy heart.
“You should be grateful to have Kirito, a beta tester, to teach you.”
Xia Yan smiled and said: “I bet many new players who just entered SAO still don't know how to swing a sword. You're already a big step ahead of them.”
“So, I feel much better now. But compared to you, Yan, I feel so hurt. I feel like an idiot.”
Klein feigned sadness.
“Klein, you actually have this kind of self-awareness?”
Kirito said in surprise.
“Don't worry, it's something you can't envy.”
Xia Yan also mocked him.
“You two…”
Klein felt heartbroken, clutching his chest as if hurt.
“Should we go to another place to grind monsters? Yan, you should already be level 2, right?”
Xia Yan acknowledged.
“If we keep grinding Furious Boars, we won't gain much experience.”
Ignoring Klein, Kirito smiled and said: “I know a monster grinding spot with good experience. It’s nearby.”
“Alright, no problem.”
Xia Yan nodded,
“Let's go then, I've been chopping down wild boars all afternoon, I'm about to puke. Let's change monsters for me to chop.”
Klein immediately erased his sadness, his face excited, eagerly anticipating the change.
...
Time in SAO flows at the same rate as the outside world, and the time setting is also the same.
Players entered SAO at 1 pm, and it's also afternoon in SAO.
This is also to allow players to fully experience the realism.
Xia Yan, Kirito, and Klein formed a team, arriving at the new grinding spot, and time passed incredibly quickly.
The distant sky, as if stained with blood, was a fiery red.
“I finally reached level 2!”
With two expert players leading the way, the grinding efficiency naturally improved significantly. Klein also reached level 2. Upon seeing the system prompt, this dramatic guy immediately let out a cheer.
Kirito, due to guiding Klein, didn't grind much, and he just reached level 2.
Xia Lin was one experience point away from level 3.
“It's already this time?”
Klein glanced at the SAO time and sighed: “If we log out now, at least we won't have any regrets.”
“My pre-ordered takeout should be arriving soon. Do you guys want to keep grinding?”
Klein's stomach growled, revealing his helplessness.
“I'll probably grind for a bit longer. I'll wait for my maids to call me for dinner.”
Xia Yan casually brushed him off. He knew that SAO, this death game, started as soon as players entered the game, and there was no way to log out normally.
“Maids?”
Klein's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Xia Yan. Immediately, he leaned closer, pressing Xia Yan's shoulder and excitedly asked: “Did you just say maids?”
Kirito also curiously looked at Xia Yan.
“Hmm.”
Xia Yan nodded: “Is it strange to have a few maids at home?”
“It's not a matter of strange or not, it's incredibly rare, okay?”
Klein excitedly said: “I've never seen an official maid. I've only been to maid cafes and places like that.”
“Could it be that you, Yan, are actually a wealthy young master?”
Klein asked.
“You could say that.”
Xia Yan admitted.
On the side of Devil High, he inherited a large fortune, and on the side of Sword Art Online, he directly brainwashed and controlled a wealthy family.
Upon hearing this, Kirito was also quite surprised.
“My luck is too good. I met Kirito, the beta tester, as soon as I entered the game, and now I've met a legendary wealthy young master. It's like I'm cheating!”
Klein was very excited, grabbing Xia Yan's arm excitedly.
“The legendary wealthy young master…”
Xia Yan helplessly pulled away Klein's hands and said: “Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?”
“My social circle has never encountered a wealthy young master. I only see them on TV, of course it's exaggerated.”
Klein affirmed.
Kirito also nodded, agreeing with Klein's statement.
“Actually, I'm just a normal person, nothing like a wealthy young master.”
Xia Lin sighed and said: “I just live in a mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars every day, travel in a supercar worth tens of millions of dollars every day, and have maids take care of my food, clothing, and shelter. To be honest, other than that, I'm a very ordinary person~!”
“You're showing off!”
Klein immediately exclaimed excitedly.
“Definitely showing off!”
Kirito was also stimulated.
“You guys guessed right.”
Xia Yan nodded seriously.
Klein immediately let out a moan, loudly protesting his dissatisfaction with Xia Yan.
“Alright, alright, you guys can come to my place as guests when you have time.”
Xia Yan, of course, knew that everyone was joking, so he smiled and invited the two: “You guys can experience life as a wealthy young master then.”
“Deal!”
Klein immediately stopped his protest, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation: “Kirito, you're coming too, right~!”
“Ah, as for me…”
Kirito hesitated. He had no problem making friends in the game, but in real life, he's a shut-in with mild social anxiety. Asking him to go to someone's house to play is an extremely difficult task for him.
“Alright, Kirito, stop being a wimp like a girl.”
Xia Yan immediately said: “Let's go together then. Remember to give me your address, I'll send someone to pick you up, or you can come over yourselves.”
I heard your sister is cute?
I'm making you my brother!
“Alright.”
Kirito could only nod. While hesitant, he also had great anticipation in his heart. This was his first time making a friend in real life.
After becoming obsessed with video games, his social circle shrank significantly.
To be able to chat with others so happily, Kirito naturally craved it.
“Why is there no log-out button?”
After making the agreement, Klein was about to log out, but when he opened the menu bar, he exclaimed in surprise.
