Super God: If I punch you, you will die

At least, at this moment, Lin Yan wanted to protect Xing, regardless of the misfortunes of others; he only wanted to safeguard that smile.

Perhaps it's related to that person in Lin Yan's real world—the same age, the same timid and cowardly personality, and the same gentle and warm heart.

"Okay, let's go eat."

Lin Yan did indeed feel hungry.

Dinner was as delicious and visually appealing as ever. For the past month, Xing had been focusing on culinary research and had even been working on improving the quality of her dishes.

What is most commendable is that Xing specifically studied Xia cuisine.

"It smells nice."

Lin Yan couldn't wait to start eating. This seemingly simple meal was actually quite difficult to prepare. In the SAO world, all the seasonings were different from those in the real world. Soy sauce, light soy sauce, vinegar, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, and even chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns—common seasonings for everyday cooking—were all luxuries in SAO.

Fortunately, he devoted himself to research and found some substitutes.

It tastes delicious.

"This braised pork is so delicious."

Lin Yan ate heartily.

"It's rich but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and is sweet and soft..." He praised it lavishly, while Xing wore a happy and shy smile.

Getting Lin Yan's approval was the happiest thing for her.

"I'll go gather some fresh ingredients tomorrow and be back before breakfast."

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded.

“I am no longer the coward I once was.” Xing drew the rapier, his eyes revealing a resolute gaze.

Her encounter with Lin Yan completely changed the course of her life.

During her time with Lin Yan, Xing not only helped out at the shop, but her skill level also improved.

Combat in SAO does require a certain feel and skill, and relying on the system's assistance can be considered the key to combat.

Fortunately, he gradually figured out the trick.

However, what Xing is most outstanding about is her housekeeping skills and cooking skills; she can be described as a first-rate expert.

"Then I'll rest first."

Fortunately, she said with a smile.

Lin Yan brewed a cup of tea, leisurely sipping it and savoring the tranquility of the night. Even in a death game filled with despair and carnage, one can still enjoy a moment of clarity with a sufficiently strong heart.

Lin Yan's mind has been tempered to be strong enough.

"Ah."

He suddenly sneezed.

Can you catch a cold in SAO?

at the same time.

Within a certain small jurisdiction.

This is a small tavern located on an inconspicuous street, and it's currently bustling with activity. At the same time, it's also a gathering place for all sorts of strange and unsavory characters.

"This time it was really dangerous; I almost lost my life."

"That's what a grinning man said."

The others drank beer heartily, celebrating their survival.

These are members of the first "Floor Boss Extermination Team" of the "Aincrad" organized by Diabel.

Some people left quietly.

And many people gathered here.

"I say, are you really willing to accept this? You were completely fooled by that guy, and in the end, Diabel died without even knowing why."

Ya Wang showed a 'sorrowful' expression.

At the same time, he smiled sinisterly and cunningly in his heart.

In his eyes, everyone present was a pawn to be manipulated; they were easily swayed, foolish, and ridiculous.

He has always harbored a deep prejudice against the closed beta testers, believing that they monopolized SAO's best resources while ignoring the plight of others.

Especially that man in black.

"You! You! You! Are you really willing to accept this?"

Ya Wang pointed to the people around him.

At first, those people looked at each other blankly, but as Ya Wang incited them, a faint, subtle restlessness slowly surfaced in their hearts.

A thin man gulped down a glass of beer.

He slammed the wine glass down on the table with a bang.

"That's right, how can we let the beta testers make fools of us?"

"Yep."

"We demand fairness."

"We can't just keep shouting slogans; I'm going to make that kid pay for his actions," Ya Wang shouted.

In SAO.

Fear and an endless shadow loomed over them.

Once a crack appears in one's heart, darkness will invade, and these are the people whose hearts have cracked. People like Ya Wang, who incite emotions, are more capable of spreading darkness.

The dark side of human nature has been magnified once again.

"Yes, find him."

"Let him explain."

"He'll hate you no matter what you say."

Ya Wang raised his hand. The others immediately fell silent.

"I have a great plan, I wonder if you guys want to pull off a heist with me!"

"Of course, cowardly people can choose to quit."

A sinister smile appeared on Ya Wang's face. His men gathered around him, and Ya Wang lowered his voice and said in a sinister tone.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say."

A robust man with an honest-looking face walked out. He was so big that even Ya Wang had to look up to see his whole face.

He wore simple armor and always carried a giant axe.

His muscular body exuded terrifying power, and his dark face was as rugged as if sculpted.

It gives people a sense of oppression.

In reality, some people are only fierce on the surface, but have an upright and kind heart inside.

Ya Wang swallowed hard, but still stared at Agil with his neck stiff.

"My name is Agil."

Akiel's tone was flat.

He wasn't actually there for the party; he just happened to run into them.

"Mr. Ya Wang, are you saying that because there was no support from the original closed beta testers, many new players died, and to compensate the testers, they should apologize and provide compensation?"

"Yes...yes!"

"You got this guide too, right? It was given out for free at the prop shop."

"So what if we got it?"

"They were distributed by closed beta testers, and anyone can get that information. As for the other items, are the closed beta testers obligated to distribute them to all players for free?"

Akiel remained calm and thoughtful; he never complained or blamed others.

Calm and composed personality.

Although it gives people an overly serious feeling.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the smoky, chaotic bar. In fact, the idea of ​​opening a bar originated from this very premise.

this moment.

Akiel thought about opening a bar.

"Hahahahaha."

Tooth King laughed loudly.

He laughed sarcastically, "You must have gotten some benefits from the beta testers to be speaking up for them like this."

"What's the use of this booklet? We're still going to die anyway."

Ya Wang's face was gloomy.

cunning.

He can say things against his conscience with a straight face, and he is also a petty person who wants to make those who humiliate him pay the price.

Do you believe this story? Do you believe it?

Ya Wang looked at the others.

The calmed atmosphere was stirred up again when a thin man slammed his hand on the table. "I don't believe it. We're not cannon fodder."

"Yes, we are not cannon fodder."

"His joining at the last minute is problematic."

"Yes."

"We demand justice."

"Justice!"

Everyone was shouting loudly, venting their anger. These seemingly arrogant people were actually cowardly at heart; the more arrogant they were, the more their inner fear and anxiety were revealed.

In the end, Agil had no choice but to leave.

Meanwhile, the King of Fangs' conspiracy is brewing beneath the surface.

The next morning.

The morning mist that had enveloped the entire street had not yet dissipated, and the sunlight streaming in from the outside created random reflections on the fine air particles, bathing the surroundings in a lemon yellow hue.

There was still an hour before the store opened.

"Are there eight days left until the next dungeon raid?"

"Should I take another nap? Or maybe not?"

Lin Yan stretched lazily.

Although most of the shops on the main street of the "Town of Beginnings" were open, Lin Yan was, after all, a lazy bum, and his rule was to open later and close earlier than other shops.

Lin Yan rarely gets up early.

He walked out onto the street and looked at the crowds of people coming and going, as well as the bustling street.

"That little girl has already gone to gather ingredients. She's so diligent. Luckily, I secretly installed that on her, otherwise I really wouldn't feel comfortable letting her go out alone."
