Zhutian: Sharing talents starting from Chicken Island

In the maze, swords and sabers flashed, and the long swords collided with the monsters' armor, making crisp sounds.

"Switch!"

Following Asuna's voice, a series of flashes of light pierced the tree, breaking the monster's stance and causing it to fall backwards, exposing its weak spot.

Lin Yan, who was resting, moved his feet instantly. The armored monster holding a long sword reacted quickly, swinging the sword to continue attacking Lin Yan who was rushing forward, but was stabbed straight in the heart by the dragon crystal sword.

With an unwilling roar, the little monster turned into sparkling fragments and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"This is the last wave of monsters on this road." Seeing that Lin Yan succeeded, Asuna also breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's almost noon now, Ayan, do you want to eat together?"

I have heard that Asuna can create food in this world that is not inferior to that in the original world, so Lin Yan is of course very interested.

After so many years in the world of Aincrad, not only did he eat the same food as pigs, but he was also completely tired of these bland foods.

Although he knew that some cooking skills could improve this situation, he felt creepy whenever he thought about himself lying on a hospital bed with tubes inserted into his body.

I dare not slack off at all.

If I accidentally die while trying to clear the strategy, my other self will definitely laugh at me to death...

If it were my previous self, I would have nothing and would have died. But now, as long as I open my eyes, I will have the power to control the entire world and can easily get everything I want.

With a happy life right before our eyes, how can we not be excited?

My life was worthless before, but now it is so precious. Even if it means sacrificing everyone in Aincrad, I must find a way to get out alive!

"Ayan, my cooking skills are pretty good, come on, let's try it together."

On the side of the road, Asuna patted the seat next to her with a faint smile on her face.

As she spoke, she tapped the panel in front of her twice, and a bamboo basket covered with cloth appeared in her hands.

Through the gap, you can see several Japanese sandwiches, nori rice balls, and a stack of dipping sauces like soy sauce and rice vinegar.

"I usually spend all my time on other things." Lin Yan smiled: "I don't even pay attention to my cooking skills."

"It's clear at first glance that Ayan is determined to return to the real world." Asuna looked at Lin Yan with some envy:

"There must be someone very important in the real world."

"No." He shook his head: "I just don't want to waste my life in this meaningless game for nothing."

"But if you think about it carefully, life is also something illusory. Who knows if life right now is a more sophisticated game of Total Stealth?"

After saying this, Lin Yan realized that he had said something wrong.

Any topic developed from this perspective will inevitably slide into the abyss of nihilism, and all that will be gained in the end is silence.

While Asuna was still thinking and didn't respond, Lin Yan quickly changed the subject:

"Since Miss Asuna has prepared so many delicious dishes, I won't be polite."

After the topic was changed, the atmosphere between the two finally became lively again.

The whole wheat bread was baked to perfection, with a slightly burnt aroma, crispy edges and just the right softness on the inside.

Before he even tasted the flavor, the rich texture had already stunned Lin Yan.

How advanced! Can games actually give people such a detailed experience? It really deserves to be a full stealth game that wraps around the head and directly stimulates the cerebral cortex to construct an illusion world!

At this level, I'm afraid the next step of development will be uploading consciousness?
There is no time to think too much. The honey mustard sauce is sweet and spicy, the tomatoes are sour and juicy, and the barbecue is tender and salty. The layers of flavor seem to explode on the taste buds. The rich flavors are in perfect harmony with each other, complementing each other, and converging into an incomparable feeling of happiness.

Damn it, after such a long time, I actually experienced this kind of happiness from a game?

If he could eat such delicious food in real life, Lin Yan would move next to that restaurant.

"How does it taste?" Asuna looked at Lin Yan's dazed and surprised expression. Although she already had the answer in her heart, she still smiled and deceived her brain and asked happily.

"It's delicious." Lin Yan finished the sandwich in his hand in no time and felt that his physical strength was greatly restored.

Could it be that as cooking skills improve, the food I prepare can have the effect of restoring physical strength?
This kind of physical strength is not the same as blood volume. Normal people will inevitably feel tired and exhausted after a lot of exercise. There is also a potential setting for physical strength in the game. It is not presented in a familiar form, but it does exist.

In the early stages of the game, for a long period of time, this physical strength that cannot be directly restored by potions requires a long period of rest to recover.

The situation improved only when we got a fountain that could restore our strength while attacking the 35th floor.

"It's incredible that I can actually recover my strength." Lin Yan looked at his hands in surprise.

"I only discovered this after I upgraded my cooking skills to the maximum level." Asuna received the compliment and pinched her ears a little embarrassedly:

"I'm glad I can help you. Don't be too busy raising your level. It's important to combine work and rest."

"There should be a treasure chest in the area ahead. Let's go check it out after we rest."

"Ah."

……

After the level was raised, the speed of physical strength recovery also increased significantly. Within ten minutes, the two felt that all their strength had returned. They looked at each other, stood up, and re-equipped their weapons.

The Flashing Light and the Dragon Crystal Sword were held in his hands respectively.

Asuna has never been the type of female protagonist who is just a vase. When she enters combat mode, her eyes are sharp, and she has the insight and reaction ability to command and formulate combat strategies for a long time.

Although Lin Yan is a lone player, his ability to coordinate the situation is no less than Asuna.

In previous battles, he had accurately found the weaknesses of the enemy monsters several times, and was able to maneuver them calmly to avoid being surrounded.

"Next, I'll go in and explore the way." Asuna's level is higher than Lin Yan's. Although she knows that she will definitely not be Lin Yan's opponent in a fight, at the moment, her health and defense are almost twice that of Lin Yan.

As a more tanky existence, it is natural for me to be in the front and take the damage.

In case you encounter a prohibited teleportation area or a forced fight, Lin Yan outside can intervene at any time and open the door from the outside.

Of course, this was also out of a simple trust, trusting that Lin Yan, who had only known him for a short time and was not even his teammate, would not betray him at the critical moment. This kind of trust was very valuable, and even Lin Yan was a little surprised.

Could it be that a life-saving grace could have such great power?
Of course, this is probably related to appearance. This extremely deceptive face is mature and handsome, with clear edges and corners. The beauty is simply bursting out, and he looks very safe.

During our interactions, he did not seek any favor in return and was always polite and gentle.

"If it was an ugly bastard like Klatir who kept pestering her, even if he really saved her life, Asuna would still be resistant and disgusted with him, and would at most just give him money and let him go."

Just when Lin Yan was complaining about Kladil out of boredom, he didn't know that Kladil was secretly watching the two of them.

When he saw them sitting side by side eating lunch, he clenched his fists. Jealousy made him grip the hilt of his sword tightly, almost wanting to draw the sword and rush forward to fight to the death.

but no,

Although I don’t know what level Lin Yan is, judging from his combat skills, I’m afraid he is not an easy opponent to deal with.

In Kladil's mind, even if he could defeat Lin Yan, it would definitely be a fierce battle in which both sides would suffer losses. In a maze where various traps and dangers could be triggered at any time, this would undoubtedly be very unsafe.

Fortunately, a few days ago, he successfully contacted the organization he had always dreamed of joining.

That organization...

He really agreed with the idea.

What justice, what righteousness, they are all garbage. When people are enemies without any legal or moral constraints, they should just fight each other in darkness!

There will always be such dark guys among people in the world, and there is nothing we can do about it even with the development of technology. Perhaps this is the result of the oppressive social atmosphere and the despicable national character.

"Go in, go in, there is a trap specially set for you!"

"Lin Yan, hmph, just go and die obediently. As for Asuna... I will descend from the sky to beat those two bad guys away, and then I will save the beauty and win the heart and power of the deputy leader of the Blood Knights."

"After I have that power, I might even be able to go one step further and kill the leader of the Blood Knights!"

"By then, the entire raider group, and even the entire Aincrad, will be mine!"

Before entering the game, he was just a incompetent clerk in a large company. He usually served tea and water to his seniors in the tea room, and was often hit on the head by his boss with rolled-up documents.

It is natural that the long-term depression, the two-dimensional world as the only way to relieve the depression is too narrow, and the relaxation time is too short to gradually lead to psychological abnormality.

Amid his hysterical but silent laughter, Asuna pushed open the door of the room.

"There's nothing in there."

Asuna's voice sounded a little regretful, but just as she turned to leave, she caught a glimpse of a corner of a treasure chest in the corner.

"In the corner, there's a treasure chest!" There was surprise in her tone.

In the treasure chests of higher-level mazes, you can often find very powerful items or crystals with powerful properties, and even potions that can help you jump to a higher level.

This is probably one of the few good things that have happened recently.

Lin Yan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there would actually be a treasure chest.

After Asuna entered the room without triggering the trap, Lin Yan also let down his guard.

But as he stepped into the room, the floor, walls and ceiling in the room instantly turned blood red, and four passages opened up on the four walls with the rumbling sound of stones moving. Small monsters with green faces and fangs, wearing fish-scale armor and holding long knives, poured out of the passages, looking crazy and fanatical.

"trap!"

Asuna's face was pale, but she did not panic.

She held the gleaming rapier across her chest and glanced left and right to see the number of enemies.

The four corners are undoubtedly the safest places. Two people huddled in a corner can ensure that they only face enemies in one direction and avoid being attacked from both sides.

This will help reduce the enemy's numerical advantage.

Just when Asuna was about to pull Lin Yan to hide together, Lin Yan moved faster than her.

Two flashes of light from the dragon crystal sword appeared, and before Asuna could even see the trajectory of the sword, a small monster had its head chopped off.

"Try to teleport out using the crystal!" Lin Yan's voice reminded Asuna that when encountering such a situation, the first thing to do is always to ensure your own safety and then escape.

A head-on confrontation should be avoided as much as possible as long as there is a 10% chance of death.

"it is good!"

When Asuna clicked on the teleport button on the panel, several monsters surrounded her.

Lin Yan's hands moved incredibly fast. The dragon crystal sword would leave an afterimage, and burst out at a speed beyond the system level, slashing vertically in all directions! It circled around Asuna's body, and the monsters were beaten by Lin Yan before they could react. It took time to activate the system's charging light effect, but even without charging a heavy attack, Lin Yan's current strength was able to repel all the monsters!

"no!"

Asuna, holding the corridor crystal in her hand, looked a little anxious: "The crystal is useless here, Ayan, let's retreat to the corner!"

Asuna clenched the rapier tightly in her hand, and the light effect of flying stardust accumulated on the sword. She looked up and found that there were so many flying light spots around her.
Where is Lin Yan?
When she saw Lin Yan's figure, her pupils suddenly shrank.

The black figure was not conspicuous under the red light. When looking at Lin Yan, Asuna subconsciously even ignored his existence.

Fast, too fast!
He cut through the battlefield like lightning, his figure so fast that it was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.

The extremely high level and powerful dynamic vision granted by the game system allowed Asuna to barely see Lin Yan's operations.

Lin Yan's steps were light and agile, as if he was following some strange rhythm, and his feet were crossing a space that was unimaginable for ordinary people.

The dragon crystal sword in his hand shone with a strange and ominous glow under the red light. The sword that was killing wantonly seemed to have its own consciousness and exuded a cold aura.

"Don't just stand there, someone is plotting against us!"

Lin Yan's voice fell anxiously, and Asuna reacted quickly, but soon felt it was a bit absurd.

Is someone... plotting against me? (End of this chapter)
