He is not a swordsman, of course.

"follow me."

Lin Yan spoke mysteriously, and Asuna never questioned his judgments. Even so, Asuna was still startled by what she saw.

"What is this going to do?"

"High-efficiency, concentrated monster spawn points for fixed-point hunting is the fastest shortcut."

Lin Yan's words made Asuna suddenly realize the truth. While Asuna was fighting monsters, he even leisurely sat around with his legs crossed, watching without any concern that any monsters might break through Asuna's defenses and accidentally hurt her.

In a short period of time, Asuna's level rose to level 15.

This is a major breakthrough for Asuna.

"Want to grab a drink?"

Lin Yan made a drinking gesture.

A gust of wind blew by, and Asuna gathered her chestnut hair, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and nodded.

DiceyCafe.

This is a cafe/bar.

The boss is a kind-hearted man named Andrew Kilbod Milluz. He was the one who stood up for the beta testers when they were questioned.

He is a giant axe warrior.

Wearing a white waiter's uniform, Agil warmly greeted everyone. He looked quite fierce, even somewhat serious.

However, he is a very honest and straightforward person.

"KoB is probably after you."

Asuna suddenly said.

Although it was a bar, Asuna was still drinking coffee. Lin Yan, being an adult, didn't mind having a cup.

The scalding hot liquor flowed down my throat.

“They didn’t need to go to such lengths to invite me, even if they knew I was the Black Cloaked Man,” Asuna said.

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Yan raised his glass. "Asuna, before we conquer the third floor, I'll take you to collect enhancement materials, hone your skills, and acquire all sorts of mods."

"A second strategy meeting was organized in Zmuffert, with DKB led by Lind and ALS led by Fang Wang as the main forces."

Asuna overheard people discussing this matter by chance.

Lin Yan is the mysterious figure who conquers the first and second levels.

She understood Lin Yan's importance better than anyone else.

Without Lin Yan, they would have had a very difficult time conquering the first and second levels so easily; everything would have been uncertain.

"December 21st?"

Lin Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

"That is, we're leaving tomorrow. Would you like to see the third-level boss, the demon tree spirit Nereus?"

Asuna looked puzzled.

Then it dawned on me.

"The two of us?"

She swallowed hard, yet was filled with curiosity and excitement for the future. "If it's with you, I'm willing."

Inside the magnificent BOSS room, burning torches on both sides illuminated the entire space.

The third-floor boss, the Demon Tree Spirit Nereus, has the form of a large tree and can unleash a wide-area poison attack...

Like the "Kobold Lord Ilfang" on the first floor and the "King Asterius of the Golden Bull Kingdom" on the second floor, the Demon Tree Spirit Nerius has a different attack pattern than in the closed beta.

The tree had gone into a frenzied state.

It lashed wildly at the surrounding walls.

Boom.

Click.

The walls crumbled.

Even the dome has cracked open to a large gap, and a lot of rubble has fallen down.

"Quickly finish this, Asuna."

Lin Yan's attack reduced the last HP of the third-floor boss, the demon tree spirit Nereus, to its lowest level, and Asuna's figure transformed into a beam of light.

It delivered the final blow to the third-floor boss, the demon tree spirit Nereus.

The body of the third-floor boss, the demon tree spirit Nereus, turned into fragments and disappeared.

Congratulations!

A prominent notification appears, signifying that the third-floor boss has been completely defeated.

Congratulations, you've received the reward for the final blow.

A notification appeared in front of Asuna's eyes.

"Demon Crystal?"

Asuna received the reward for the final blow: a piece of material. Asuna clearly had no idea what this material was for.

She looked at the note with a puzzled expression.

"The crystal formed over a thousand years by the third-level boss, the demon tree spirit Nereus, is a rare and high-grade material."

Is it that rare?

Asuna really felt a little unworthy of it.

"Shall we go check the fourth floor?"

Lin Yan changed the subject, and Asuna accepted the reward of the final blow with peace of mind. She had indeed never seen Lin Yan use any weapon; perhaps for him, weapons were merely a weak person's defense against their vulnerability.

The truly powerful one is Lin Yan himself.

In the boss room on the third floor of the floating city of Aincrad, a spiral staircase leads directly to a bluish-gray stone door.

It will be a completely new world.

The double-sided doors are over three meters high.

Exquisite reliefs adorn the doors. In fact, the doors on each level of the floating city of Aincrad are all different, each with its own unique charm.

The second doorway is the "Cow Floor," and the third floor is the "Forest and Elf Floor."

The fourth door features a relief of a small boat.

Asuna slowly pushed open the fourth-floor door.

The massive stone door slowly opened.

A dazzling light made it impossible to open one's eyes; only after the light adjusted could one see the clear, ever-flowing stream.

During the closed beta, the fourth floor's design theme was a barren canyon, a so-called "Dry Valley" region with spiderweb-like patterns spreading outwards. After the official launch, the fourth floor's design theme changed to "Waterways." The main street is called "Rowell," with a vast forest area to its southeast. Following the waterway southwards leads to "Lake Caldera," a lake with a diameter of 300 meters. Further down, one reaches the "Maze Tower," the highest level where the floor's boss resides.

Clear water flows gently from the mountain stream.

It forms a magnificent picture.

Beautiful.

It even makes people briefly forget the cruel reality that this is a death game with four levels of crisis.

Eingredient will recreate the seasons of reality based on different floors, but now everything is unknown. Nevertheless, Asuna can enjoy the warmth and sunshine as long as she is by Lin Yan's side.

She suddenly pointed to a pool of water in the distance and said.

"I wonder if SAO allows swimming. Lin Yan, can you swim in the real world?"

"Do you want to go swimming?"

"Asuna?"

Lin Yan's Q&A.

A blush crept onto Asuna's face. "Actually, no, it's just that I'm a little curious... just curious... really just curious..."

This is a classic example of saying one thing and meaning another.

However, many people probably want to see the goddess Asuna in her swimsuit.

"I wonder what the main street on the fourth floor looks like."

Asuna changed the subject.

Lin Yanshen made his move, and Asuna was slightly taken aback.

A deep blue war transfer crystal was raised. "Transfer, Rowell."

A dazzling light enveloped the two of them.

Immediately following the instantaneous teleportation sensation, as the effect light dissipated, what appeared before Yasian's eyes was Rowell, the main street of the fourth floor.

"What a beautiful street."

Asuna sighed.

The entire vista shone like a jewel. The buildings were all a uniform, bright white, each one like a work of art.

Compared to the monotonous first and second floors of the building, it's like heaven on earth.

Passing through the main gate of the street, the sign 【INNERAREA】appears in view. Ahead is a small dock where you can see NPCs riding in phoenix-tail boats.

"This is practically a miniature version of the water towns of Jiangnan," Lin Yan remarked with considerable emotion, while Asuna thought of Venice.

The phoenix-tail boat is the main mode of transportation here, and can take you to every corner of this street.

"Welcome to the street of 'Rowell,' gentlemen! Our price is fifty cors."

"Let's go to the portal plaza."

Lin Yan said.

This NPC appeared to be very simple and honest, and said, "I'm willing to serve you."

After payment, the phoenix-tail boat headed toward the Main Channel.

Boats came and went on the waterway, and shops lined both sides of the waterway. On the phoenix-tail boat, Lin Yan admired the beautiful scenery on both sides, while Asuna would glance at Lin Yan every now and then.

"Is there anything?"

Lin Yan finally asked.

"It's okay, do you know your size?" Asuna, the goddess who was the center of attention, was shy for the first time.

She stammered and couldn't speak for a long time.

"size?"

"I just wanted to make you a swimsuit, since I have sewing skills anyway."

Asuna seemed to be making a defense, but Lin Yan fluently revealed his data, even his bust, waist, and hip measurements.

At the teleportation plaza, Lin Yan materialized a crystal bottle and handed it to Asuna.

"what is this?"

Asuna stared at the crystal bottle in surprise, opened the properties window, and it showed 'Kales O's Crystal Bottle'.

"What is this? How did you get it?"

She looked at the small crystal bottle in surprise.
