Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Argo explained, her eyes flickering with an expression she'd never seen before, a look of unspoken hesitation on her face, "If the boss forms a guild, won't people flock to join?"

Asuna completely agreed with this point.

At first.

Asuna also asserted that she would not join any guild. However, as she partnered with Lin Yan along the way, she was actually conflicted deep down. On one hand, she hoped that Lin Yan would form a guild so that he could expand his influence.

Expand influence.

To get more players involved.

This will likely have a positive impact not only on SAO strategy guides, but will also benefit more players, and may even save their young lives.

However, on the other hand...

Asuna didn't want Lin Yan to form a guild, as long as he remained a lone wolf.

Therefore, Asuna will become Lin Yan's only partner.

Asuna shook her head.

These worries seem endless, and there appears to be no answer. Argo said to Asuna.

"Asuna, what are you thinking about?"

"nothing."

SAO's basic rules.

Items dropped by monsters, including bosses, will appear directly in the inventory of players who participated in the battle.

In other words.

If an item is dropped and the person deliberately conceals it, then no one has any way of determining whether the item was dropped or who has it.

For example, this time, the fifth-level boss was simply set to not drop its flag.

This is not an event that must have happened.

Of course, other people's windows could also be made visible, allowing for individual checks. This raises privacy concerns, such as ALS collaborating with DKB to defeat the boss. In the final, crucial stage, someone hid the most critical 'flag' item.

This will inevitably lead to a dispute.

Has the guild flag fallen?

Argo seemed to have thought of this as well, and asked. Asuna also looked at Lin Yan, seemingly certain that the flag was not in Argo's hands.

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded. "However, we should leave here as soon as possible. We should go up the stairs to the sixth floor of the main street and then use the portal there to return to Karluin."

Argo nodded vigorously, her eyes shining even brighter, clearly filled with longing for the sixth floor.

"Sixth floor, let's go!"

She clenched her fist and raised it.

"Before that, I'd like to mention something else: this flag has been officially named [FlagofValor]. As for this flag..."

"Let Mr. Black keep it safe. Actually, I have no interest in this flag at all. It might even attract trouble from ALS and DKB."

Argo interrupted Lin Yan for the first time.

"I'm so excited right now, let's hurry up and get to the sixth floor. I'm more interested in that floor than this flag."

Of course, Asuna would have no objection to this suggestion.

She raised her hand too, "Let's go!"

[FlagofValor].

The banner of bravery.

Consistent with the β era, its attack flow is the lowest level, yet it possesses magical effects.

It's appalling.

When a flag is planted on the ground or floor during battle, guild members within a 15-meter radius will receive various support effects. It can completely cover a typical boss room, making it an invaluable tool for guilds when tackling bosses.

Additionally, flags can be registered with guilds.

Pressing the confirmation button in the properties window will display the guild's logo on the white flag. However, for Lin Yan, this is unnecessary.

His system far surpasses any buff.

"Let's get going, I can't wait," Argo said, and began walking up the spiral staircase leading to the sixth floor.

"Asuna, let's go."

Lin Yan said to Asuna.

"I suddenly thought of something."

"what?"

Asuna and Lin Yan talked as they walked side by side up the spiral staircase toward the sixth floor.

"If ALS and DKB find out that we've already taken the flag, won't they come looking for trouble? They're not your average small guilds."

Her concerns were actually normal; it was Lin Yan's nonchalant attitude that was abnormal. This was because Asuna knew that Lin Yan was a formidable lone wolf, second to none in SAO.

However, Asuna did not fully understand Lin Yan's strength.

His power has surpassed SAO, and even surpassed the real world.

"I've actually thought about this matter. We obtained the flag through legitimate channels, and whatever we use it for, other guilds or individuals have no right to interfere. As for whether they will cause trouble, that remains to be seen."

"just in case……"

"Do they dare?"

Argo winked mischievously as he spoke.

puff-

Asuna, completely disregarding her image, burst out laughing. Her laughter was even somewhat exaggerated, but Argo's words did make sense.

"I think I heard footsteps."

Asuna noticed footsteps coming from the stairs below, and then someone shouted in alarm.

"Where's the floor manager...!?"

"Could someone have already beaten us to it?"

"B, Blacky!? What are you doing here!? Could it be you guys?"

"I suspected it was you guys!"

"Okay, stop arguing!"

……

Hearing the noise, Argo said, "Shouldn't we run away? They'll definitely catch up."

"I'm hungry and can't run."

Lin Yan yawned and even stretched lazily.

Sure enough, a minute later, they saw the main force of ALS and DKB.

Ya Wang and Lin De were among them.

In ALS, besides Tooth King, there's also North Sea salted salmon roe, honeydew melon, musk ham, and more... Just thinking about it makes Lin Yan chuckle.

"Did you kill the leader?!"

Ya Wang spoke first, as he and Lin Yan had a past conflict, but had managed to maintain peace due to Lin Yan's strength. Lin De, on the other hand, had no direct conflict with Lin Yan, but had heard many rumors about him and had even had some contact with him; however, he knew that this was someone he absolutely could not afford to offend.

"You three managed to take down the floor leader?"

"It's absolutely impossible for three people to take down the boss. There must be other helpers. What guild is it?"

"It's no accident that you managed to take down the boss first. How did you do it?"

"The most important item is the guild flag, is it in your hands!?"

Faced with Ya Wang's questioning and the aggressive gazes of the others, Lin Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile.

His true face was hidden beneath the hood, but in a flash, everyone saw that smile.

His smile sent a shiver down everyone's spine.

It was a feeling of oppression.

A kind of fear.

disturbed.

It came like a tsunami or a sudden gust of wind.

Lin Yan opened the window without making a sound, and a bell rang. The main menu opened, and an item in the inventory materialized.

A three-meter-long silver flagpole enveloped in light particles.

Lin Yan gripped the center of the flagpole with his right hand and then loudly planted [FlagofValor] into the ground.

"Is this the guild banner you're looking for?"

All the members of ALS and DKB became restless, staring intently at the flag with greed in their eyes.

"Hmph, as expected of the number one cheater in the world. You've rejected all the guilds' invitations, what do you intend to do with this banner?"

"I can't help but ask," the King of Fangs questioned.

Back then, while defeating the boss on the first floor...

He also questioned the 'closed beta testers' with the same righteous indignation, raising doubts about them, and now he has stirred up trouble again.

"This flag must be kept by either ALS or DKB. Does the cheater have any objections?"

Suddenly, Ya Wang felt a chill run down his spine.

He staggered, taking a step back to regain his balance. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face turned deathly pale.

"what are you up to?"

“I said, I am [Deadsword].”

"Well, Mr. [Deadsword], do you have any comments on our proposal?"

Ya Wang stubbornly held on.

He felt a profound fear, as if death was imminent.

Every cell in my body was restless, and at the same time, a voice deep inside me kept shouting.

death!

Will die!

However, the greedy desire still made Ya Wang clench his teeth and fight against the strong urge to escape within him.

"Who do you want to keep it safe, ALS or DKB, or would you like to merge and form a new guild?"

Lin Yan's voice was firm and resolute.

It was a household name.

Upon hearing this, the entire space fell into an unprecedented silence. A deathly stillness descended, and everyone exchanged bewildered glances.

"How is that possible?!"

"What a joke!!"

"are you crazy?"

At this moment, his entire face was contorted in the darkness, his eyes bulged out, filled with bloodshot veins, staring straight at Lin Yan.

"[Deadsword], you decided to monopolize the flag from the very beginning, didn't you?"
