Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"This is sexism."

Asuna said with some indignation.

As a woman herself, she felt indignant about gender discrimination in the world. Especially since Asuna was an excellent player, and in SAO, gender advantage wasn't particularly significant; many outstanding players were women.

However, many people's outdated ideas limit their perspective.

"Back then, I was all alone. Even when faced with such doubts, I could only silently endure it... No group was willing to accept me, and I suffered a great setback... But I still decided not to give up. So I wanted to become a lone wolf. That way, I wouldn't be controlled by any group. I could do what I wanted to do, mining and crafting armor to improve my strength."

"You're really persistent; you actually dug up more than a thousand."

Asuna was deeply moved.

She listened to Lytene's story with some surprise, and at the same time, Asuna felt a growing admiration for the girl.

It's not easy.

In the perilous world of SAO.

“That kind of imposing presence is nothing special,” Lytton said with a wry smile, her expression somewhat subtle, her brows furrowed tightly.

"I remember it was on the second level, near the village of Malome. I discovered an iron ore vein deep in the valley. I used a pickaxe to mine the ore as usual. Normally, I would only mine seven or eight pieces before running out of ore. But I found that... the vein not only didn't run out of ore, but it seemed like it would never be finished..."

"Ten or twenty yuan, thirty or so yuan... Although I didn't believe it, I kept digging for ore..."

"Seventy, eighty, ninety..."

Lytton's brow furrowed more and more deeply.

"I realized this is..."

"Infinite refresh bug".

Lin Yan revealed what Lytene couldn't say. The "infinite refresh bug" refers to an abnormal program situation where monsters or items appear in excessive numbers, exceeding the normal limit.

"That's really lucky. You can mine without limit. It's a dream come true for most players."

Asuna, regaining her senses in surprise, said...

Indeed, most players struggle to collect ores, spending a lot of effort mining them to forge weapons and items. But why is it that when Lytton encountered such a wonderful opportunity, she seemed at a loss for words when recounting it?

“Ritter, continue.”

Lin Yan stopped Asuna from commenting. He actually knew why Lytene was at a loss, but Asuna was completely baffled. She really didn't understand what the mystery was.

However, they remained silent.

She stared at Lytton.

Lytton continued, "This is [Glitch], all acts of exploiting bugs are [Glitch]. Opinions on this behavior are mixed, but in MMOs, the consequence is a rollback, or even being banned."

"and then?"

Asuna asked.

"Yes, I was blinded by the immediate profits. Although I knew it was wrong, I was still consumed by greed and couldn't resist the temptation. I started mining the ore. Besides iron ore, I even found other types of ore. At that point, I was half-controlled, frantically mining the ore..."

"Crazy..."

A hint of fear even flickered in Litten's eyes; every time she recalled it, her heart was filled with unease.

"Miss Lytton, don't blame yourself too much."

Asuna offered words of comfort, but then asked, "Is that bug still there?"

"It lasted for about thirty minutes, then suddenly collapsed. No more ore could be extracted..."

"That's what Lytton said."

She seemed much more relaxed, as if she had escaped from a nightmare. The only reasonable explanation is that the operators fixed the bug, but given the current state of SAO, is there still an operator managing the servers?

Obviously it is impossible.

"If it's not the operator, then it's Kayaba Akihiko."

Lin Yan said.

Asuna had also thought of this: Kayaba Akihiko was always monitoring this world, and he would correct any events that were detrimental to his 'game'.

Why hasn't malicious PK tactics like [inciting PK] been 'corrected'?

Asuna frowned slightly.

"However, transporting these ores must be a huge undertaking."

Another question arose in her mind, but Lin Yan remained calm, seemingly without any doubt about anything.

"After much struggle and thought, I finally found the blacksmith."

When Asuna thinks of blacksmiths, the first person that comes to mind is Nez, the blacksmith who deceived her.

Lytton continued.

“The blacksmith was a girl, and I got a reply quickly,” Lytton explained. “In the most important thing in this world…”

"The most important thing is to survive, and these protective gears are undoubtedly my biggest support for survival. I must not give up."

"So the blacksmith helped you make the armor?"

Asuna asked.

Lytton nodded.

"That's right. If it weren't for that blacksmith, I would never have been able to obtain such good armor. She kept forging it, and she made the body, feet, gauntlets, boots and helmet to a perfect degree, which left me speechless."

"I also know a metallurgist."

Asuna's mind drifted to Lisbeth, whom she had long been good friends with and who liked her very much.

She liked Lisbeth, who was goal-oriented and ambitious.

A figure striving towards a goal.

Who wouldn't like that cheerful girl with her radiant smile?

of course.

Lytton was even more grateful to her blacksmith friend, whose armor set was top-tier. Even among the raiding groups, very few could possess such a set.

This is also the reason.

Litten was selected by ALS.

"I met Sivara from the rival guild while I was conquering the fourth floor..." Lytton recounted how they met.

The conflict between the two unions bothered them, so they came up with the countdown party.

"I'm sorry, Shiva..."

Litten offered a repentant apology, her brow furrowed, revealing an expression of profound pain.

"I can't tell you about the [preemptive strategy for taking down the floor leader], this...this is extremely important, I really..."

Asuna, who was listening to this story, could really understand Lytene's feelings.

She was definitely the one who had the hardest time.

Dilemma.

Overwhelmed.

I have been suffering from pain and torment.

"You still don't believe me, Xiaoli. Otherwise, why would you hide it from me? I am a member of DKB, that's true, but I am also your friend."

Siwata clenched his fist and said.

His eyes were fixed on Lytton, but Lytton, filled with self-reproach, dared not look directly into Sivara's eyes and kept them lowered.

Asuna glanced at Lin Yan and coughed.

broke the silence.

Everyone has their own thoughts and difficulties. Asuna, seeing Lytene so distressed, couldn't help but worry for her.

In this world, we face friendship, love, promises, betrayals, interests, and conflicts.

How many people will make the right choice?

Even assuming everything goes smoothly, what kind of choice would be the right one?

"Sivata, I have some news that I think I can tell you."

Lin Yan's voice was deep, and Siwata's figure trembled slightly. He knew that the man in black was definitely not simple. He had a feeling that what the man in black said was definitely not simple.

His body stiffened involuntarily.

"ALS will be taking on the floor boss alone."

Lin Yan had already spoken.

Not only Sivata, but the most shocked was Lytene, who staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground, but Asuna caught her.

Lytton stared at Lin Yan with wide, incredulous eyes.

"No, impossible!"

Lin Yan looked at the shocked Litten.

"Don't you believe me?"

Lytton shook her head vigorously, silently keeping an eye on the movements of the man in black. That man in black, active everywhere, that man in black who punished evil and promoted good, was a beacon for Lytton in this dark world.

She had no doubt.

but--

This was so unbelievable that Lytton was bound to waver.

"I trust you completely, I've always believed in you!"

Lytton said firmly.

"The conflict between ALS and DKB is a loss for SAO, but most importantly, ALS challenging the fifth floor boss alone is like throwing an egg against a rock..."

Asuna said.

Her voice even trembled slightly. A sound echoed in her mind—the pitiful screams of countless players, a sound like the voice of demons from hell. The images that surfaced in her mind were equally horrifying.

Countless people fell in pools of blood.

Their bodies were torn apart by the BOSS.

The soul was destroyed.

Death struck like a tidal wave, like a raging flood.

"Would ALS's Tooth King do something so foolish? Challenging the floor leader alone is absolutely stupid. Is he playing with the lives of all the members?"

"I said angrily and confusedly."

She seemed hesitant to speak, but Lin Yan stopped her, silently shaking his head.

Lin Yan knew that he couldn't interfere with Litten at this time.

She was thinking.

really--

After a period of silence and inner struggle, Lytton slowly spoke, "Actually, there's something I'm hiding."

"ALS's primary principle is fairness. Everyone has the right to attend all meetings, except for the most important strategy meetings, which are only open to key members. However, I've heard some rumors..."

"Three days before the meeting, someone obtained important intelligence from the beta testers."

"So ALS convened an emergency meeting."
