Calling up the system menu is just the most basic operation in SAO. Even without Xia Yan's guidance, Asuna could quickly figure out the trick.
"This is the friend list, my name is on it."
Xia Yan explained: "If you need to find me later, just send a message."
"I understand."
Asuna stared intently at the name above, her gaze low, not knowing what she was thinking.
Xia Yan nodded, turning to leave.
"Please...wait a minute."
Seeing Xia Yan turn to leave, Asuna's face showed struggle, finally, as if she had made up her mind, she called out.
"Anything else?"
Xia Yan turned back and asked in confusion.
"Can...can you take me with you? I don't know anyone in this game."
Asuna looked at Xia Yan with a pleading look, the pressure of being alone in the game was too great for her.
Xia Yan sighed and said, "You know this game has become a death game, a little carelessness and you might die here."
Hearing this, Asuna's heart sank, her mood became heavy, and a hint of disappointment arose.
"Even me, I can't guarantee I can survive in this death game."
Xia Yan said truthfully.
This is not a lie.
After all, he wasn't using his original body in the game, but a virtual one, relying on the rules of the game to survive.
This makes things very uncertain.
Although he won't die like ordinary players in the game, his brain won't be burned.
However, his game character will be deleted.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is dead.
"If I bring a complete newbie into this death game..."
Xia Yan glanced at Asuna, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.
A complete novice, if it were an ordinary game, there would be many players willing to guide them.
However, in this death game that has become a second world, all players are struggling to survive, who has the energy to bring a newbie along?
After all, bringing a burden means putting yourself in danger.
"Sorry, I spoke out of turn, I'm sorry for the trouble."
Asuna was very smart, naturally, she understood Xia Yan's meaning, she gave a forced smile and apologized, then lowered her head dejectedly.
"But, I guess we'll be living in this game for a long time."
Xia Yan changed the subject.
A ray of hope arose in Asuna's heart, and she looked at Xia Yan curiously again.
"Since you're a good girl, your home economics class must be excellent."
Xia Yan stroked his chin, looking at the girl's delicate face with interest, and said: "After all, this is a very important course for a wealthy lady."
"Home economics grade? I'd say I'm doing pretty well."
Asuna replied: "I usually get A's."
How do I hear a hint of Versailles.
Xia Yan glanced at Asuna strangely. Seeing that she didn't mean to brag, he understood a little.
Asuna has a very outstanding mother, and she is also very strict with her education.
What is considered a good grade in the eyes of ordinary students, A, is just the "expected" level in her eyes.
"So, let's make a deal."
Xia Yan suggested.
"What deal?"
Asuna asked curiously.
"In real life, my daily life is taken care of by the maids, and suddenly being without them, I'm really not used to it."
Xia Yan said casually: "Although many things in the game can be simplified by the system, I don't want to compromise on food."
"So, you'll be my cook. This will not only satisfy my taste buds, but also save me a lot of money. After all, it would be very expensive to eat in the tavern every day."
"And I, will take care of your safety until you think you can stand on your own two feet in this game."
Xia Yan smiled and asked: "What do you think?"
"You really aren't a good person."
Asuna glared at Xia Yan angrily, she already understood that Xia Yan was deliberately teasing her.
"So, have you decided?"
Xia Yan didn't get angry, he smiled and asked: "Are you coming with me, or are you staying here to wait for death?"
"I...I'll go with you."
The girl gritted her teeth, feeling like she had no reason to refuse, she reached out her hand towards Xia Yan.
Xia Yan reached out and grasped the girl's white palm, he could feel a little struggle when they touched, but it quickly subsided.
Xia Yan looked into Asuna's eyes and said, "Let's go, I have a few friends, let's get to know them."
Asuna followed Xia Yan, step by step, letting him lead her.
Even Asuna felt it was incredible that she actually trusted a person she had only met for less than five minutes.
And they were walking hand in hand.
If it were normal, Asuna felt that she would never agree to Xia Yan's request.
"It must be the game's fault."
Asuna muttered to herself, blaming Kayaba Akihiko.
Xia Yan briefly explained some game knowledge to Asuna along the way, and then the two came to the street corner where they had been before.
Kirito was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, pretending to be deep in thought. When he heard footsteps approaching, he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Looks like you decided to stay."
Xia Yan said with a smile.
"Yeah."
Kirito chuckled and nodded: "After all, what you said does make sense."
"This is your acquaintance?"
Kirito looked at Asuna who was holding hands with Xia Yan, and suddenly felt like he had been fed a mouthful of dog food.
"Sort of?"
Xia Yan nodded.
"Sort of?"
Kirito was curious.
"Asuna, this is Kirito, he's a friend I met in the game. He's a game pro, he can temporarily act as a SAO encyclopedia."
Xia Yan didn't answer Kirito's question, but introduced the two to each other.
"Nice to meet you."
Asuna said politely, then silently stood beside Xia Yan.
"You...nice to meet you."·
Kirito responded awkwardly.
"Where's Klein?"
Xia Yan asked.
"That guy went to find his friends, he should be here soon, he told me to wait here for you guys."
Kirito replied.
Klein probably used various methods to make Kirito make up his mind, so he felt relieved to go find his friends.
