Super God: If I punch you, you will die

"In a few more days."

Lin Yan said.

"Take a good rest these few days. After all, I haven't been back to the shop for a long time, although I've always been fortunate enough to..."

"Fortunately, I have this capable assistant."

Currently, Lin Yan's largest shop is located in "Algard," one of the largest cities on the fiftieth floor of Aincrad.

The town where the original story begins is completely dominated by the "army".

But nowadays in SAO, almost everyone follows the lead of the 'Black-Clad Hero'.

The influence of other guilds has been weakened.

Especially the Knights of the Blood Oath, which rose to prominence later.

"Shall we skip the 'teleportation door'? Enjoying the scenery of this floor would be a great experience."

Asuna suggested in a good mood.

The outermost perimeter of each level of Aincrad is lined with towering pillars that reach into the clouds. Apart from that, there is only open space.

Sunlight streamed in at an angle.

The entire forest was bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

The thick fog reflected the light of the setting sun, making it appear even more mysterious and unpredictable, especially as the noise faded and silence descended.

“Actually, I was very afraid of the dark when I was a child, especially when my father and mother were busy with work and often not at home, and I was alone... I would turn on all the lights in the house... that would make me feel a little more at ease…”

Asuna looked at the dark forest before her.

Suddenly, she remembered things from her childhood; she didn't know why she suddenly thought of things from so long ago.

"now what?"

Lin Yan asked.

"Now that I have you, as long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything. I can be fearless."

Asuna answered without hesitation.

In the past two years, Asuna has also grown a lot.

If it were the Asuna of the past, she would have been extremely shy and unwilling to express her deepest thoughts so directly.

But now.

Asuna realized something.

That is, every day spent with Lin Yan is precious, and she doesn't want to leave any regrets in her life, especially in the life she has spent with Lin Yan.

after all--

After they conquered SAO, no one could guarantee that Asuna would definitely meet Lin Yan.

"what sound?"

Asuna suddenly said.

Lin Yan had already noticed the rustling sounds coming from the distant bushes, which sounded like monsters passing by. Asuna immediately went into battle mode, while Lin Yan remained as calm as ever.

After all, in SAO, nothing could pose a threat to him anymore.

"squeak."

A sharp, clear cry.

Brief yet clear.

"Go over there." Lin Yan made a gesture, and Asuna, who was already working with Lin Yan perfectly, immediately understood his intention.

Search skills.

This is one of Lin Yan's skills, and of course, it's also Asuna's skill.

Besides preventing sneak attacks, this skill also has the effect of allowing you to detect monsters or players in a concealed state as your skill proficiency increases.

"Found."

To Asuna's surprise, the monster seemed unusually small. It had grayish-green fur and ears that were longer than its body.

The system automatically sets the monster as the attack target.

"Mixed rabbit?"

Asuna was almost surprised. With her superb cooking skills, how could Asuna not know about the famous mixed rabbit stew in SAO?

"Looks like today's harvest is..."

"Quite a haul!"

Asuna squinted at the mixed rabbit in the distance; she knew, of course, how rare a mixed rabbit was. However, this was also the first time she had ever seen a real mixed rabbit.

This type of rabbit lives in trees.

Moreover, it is a monster with very low attack power and no experience value.

Asuna glanced at Lin Yan, then they exchanged a nod. Asuna quietly drew her short cone; she was quite confident in her speed.

Even the mixed rabbit, known for its speed in escaping.

"Single shot".

Like a bolt of lightning, it shot out, leaving a beautiful ray.

Asuna held her breath and listened intently. A short, mournful wail followed. The Mixed Bunny's HP had been reduced to zero.

A broken sound effect appears.

"It's done."

Asuna smiled and glanced at Lin Yan.

Then, the menu was brought up, and after opening the inventory, "Mixed Rabbit Meat Chunks" appeared. Although it is just a simple cooking ingredient, the meat of mixed rabbit is quite valuable, and can even sell for up to 100,000 Cor.

For the average player, crafting one set of weapons is sufficient.

"This is a rare delicacy. Even if someone offered 200,000 Cors, it cannot be sold."

Asuna showed Lin Yan the "Mixed Rabbit Meat Chunks" from her inventory.

"This is the finest gourmet ingredient."

In SAO, people typically choose European country-style dishes, which are basically bread and soup. Although...

The other delicacies are rarely seen.

Another way to study food is as a chef, but chefs are extremely rare. After all, the profession of chef seems somewhat impractical in SAO, where survival is the primary goal.

While munching on bread, I fantasized about the delicious food in the real world.

It was able to resist at first.

But gradually, a strong psychological craving developed. In particular, the desire for high-quality protein was not just a matter of satisfying one's cravings; the body was also yearning for it.

"Asuna, what's your cooking level?"

Lin Yan asked.

It's impossible for him to have cooking skills.

Such a rare delicacy should naturally be given to players with excellent culinary skills; otherwise, it would be a waste.

For Lin Yan, who has never lacked money, there's no reason to sell such rare and precious ingredients. With such high-quality ingredients, the obvious choice is to enjoy them.

"My cooking skills should be sufficient to prepare ingredients of this caliber."

Asuna said confidently.

In particular, Asuna actually put some effort into improving her cooking skills, something that usually wouldn't be something anyone would specifically spend time leveling up. However, it held special significance for Asuna.

"Then let's hurry back."

Lin Yan took out an octagonal columnar crystal that shone with a deep blue light.

In a world where "magic" is almost entirely excluded, this is the only magic gem.

Blue is for teleportation, pink is for HP recovery, and green is for detoxification.

It takes effect immediately and is quite expensive.

"Ah."

Asuna agreed with this point.

Furthermore, she believed that with Lin Yan's strength, he would absolutely not care about such a small 'waste'. With Lin Yan's strength...

If the luxury residences Lin Yan bought in the past two years were made public, it would definitely shock the entire SAO.

"Transfer! Selmubrook!"

Selmubruck is a beautiful castle city located on the sixty-first floor.

The sixty-first floor is almost entirely covered by lake water, with Selmubrook situated on a small island in the center. Commonly known as the "Insect Continent," this floor, as its name suggests, is filled with insect-like monsters.

However, the buildings on both sides of the street are exquisitely crafted from white granite, with magnificent spires lining the ancient city center.

This is the ideal base for most players.

However, the exorbitant housing prices deterred everyone from purchasing them.

Therefore, the residents here are all high-end gamers.

It was already sunset, and the last rays of the setting sun cast their golden light upon the streets, painting them with a dreamy, deep purple hue.

The most beautiful part is the lake.

The slanting sunlight poured in, making the lake surface shimmer like a dazzling painting.

The streets are exceptionally beautiful along the lakeside.

The transfer point was set up in the square, with trees lining both sides of the road. Walking south from the square, the streets were lined with the most upscale shops and luxury residences.

Lin Yan's residence is located here.

One of the residences.

It is also Asuna's residence. However, Asuna's residence was purchased with her own money, which is her only insistence.

"Thank you so much for recommending this floor; it really is a great place to live."

"You're welcome."

Out of the corner of Lin Yan's eye, he noticed a figure quietly following them. That sleazy figure was none other than Kradir of the Blood Oath Knights.

She had always wanted to invite Asuna to join the Knights of the Blood Oath.

I was frustrated on my first try.

I didn't encounter him again until now, when I unexpectedly saw this sneaky little thief.

"Do you want to stay with me as a lone wolf forever? I've really not considered joining any guild, like the one I'm so persistent in pursuing..."

"No need. I won't join any guild unless someone establishes one."

Lin Yan just smiled when he heard Asuna say that.

"Yes, I won't consider any other guilds except the one where you are the guild leader."

"The sun is about to set, let's go. But for S-grade rare ingredients like cooking, let's go to my place. After all, you don't have cooking utensils there, and most importantly, the seasonings needed for cooking."

"it is good."

Lin Yan readily agreed.
