"You're welcome, Mr. Nishida. Please take these back with you."

"This is still just wasabi and soy sauce."

Asuna gave these to Mr. Nishida, who was quite surprised, not expecting to receive a gift in return.

"thank you all."

"You're welcome."

After seeing Nishida off, Asuna lay lazily on the sofa, thoroughly satisfying her taste buds. She never expected that Lin Yan was even more skilled than her, someone who had always studied cooking.

"I didn't expect you to be so amazing."

"Of course I'm good at it! My hometown has countless delicious foods... Shandong cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine... Huaiyang cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine..."

The cuisine of Xia Kingdom is certainly incomparable to that of these tiny places.

Even those lists would take Lin Yan months to finish talking about.

"By the way, Lin Yan, didn't you say that there's an owner in that lake? It must be a big enough fish to be delicious."

"Okay, we'll give it a try tomorrow."

"Ah."

Asuna nodded in satisfaction, but that night, she had a little scheme. She said she had a nightmare and broke into Lin Yan's room, and the two talked all night.

I was quite happy.

"I never expected to meet such an interesting uncle here."

"Yes, I also think that uncle is very interesting."

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded.

Asuna, who had been desperately trying to conquer the world, never imagined that someone would live such a leisurely life by this beautiful lake.

In truth, this place really can be considered a paradise on earth.

"Lin Yan, we'll have to go back to the front lines to conquer the enemy sooner or later."

Asuna spoke seriously for the first time. He had thought that Asuna would continue to run away, but it didn't really matter.

He doesn't care.

Lin Yan was somewhat surprised when Asuna said those words.

"And you? What are your thoughts, Lin Yan?"

Asuna asked.

Lin Yan, however, curled up a wicked smile. He did not answer Asuna's question, but gazed at her tenderly.

After a long silence.

Lin Yan slowly began to speak.

"I never thought about such a thing..."

"Through repeated conquests, your strength has made you famous in SAO, and many people admire you. Among them, there must be many people who have expectations of you. You have unknowingly become the hope of many people. Don't you feel tired?"

"..."

Lin Yan shook his head.

Asuna didn't know whether this meant she didn't care or that she wasn't tired.

She pouted with a dissatisfied look, while Lin Yan gently rubbed Asuna's head and smiled so tenderly.

Perhaps after experiencing so much, Lin Yan is no longer the Lin Yan he once was.

His inner world became more complex, both cold and tender.

Whether it was the Battle of Tianhe, Morgana, Death Karl, or the Battle of New York, everything has shaped Lin Yan into who he is today.

He is exceptionally capable, yet it seems he hasn't found his own place in the world.

And at this time.

Without Lin Yan and Asuna at the front lines, and suffering heavy losses during the conquest of the 75th floor, they realized something.

That's the importance of the Men in Black.

The next morning.

Asuna and Lin Yan arrived at the lake early, and the calm, undisturbed surface of the lake was a delight to behold.

Lin Yan glanced at Asuna.

Her chestnut-brown hair was styled in an updo, making her look exceptionally dignified and beautiful.

A gentle breeze was blowing by the lake.

It was somewhat cool, but not cold, thanks to the relatively bright sunlight.

This time, Lin Yan chose a very large fishing rod, and Asuna said that Lin Yan was being too extravagant, but she later changed her mind.

"Shall we begin now?"

Asuna was even a little nervous.

"Ah."

Lin Yan nodded, then forcefully cast his fishing rod, drawing a beautiful arc as the huge bait plunged into the lake, creating ripples.

Fishing in SAO has almost no waiting time. Just throw the bait into the water, and it's done in a few tens of seconds.

The fishing rod began to vibrate violently.

"Has this person taken the bait?"

"Maybe."

"I feel so nervous!"

"It looks quite big."

Lin Yan tested the force slightly, and the strength of that struggle was definitely much greater than the strength of three or five people in a tug-of-war; it was at least the combined strength of a dozen or so people.

"Hurry up, Lin Yan."

"Wait a minute, the time isn't right yet."

Lin Yan had plenty of patience. He gazed at the shimmering lake surface and watched the fishing rod vibrate.

It seemed that a tremendous force was resisting Lin Yan's power.

"All right."

Lin Yan exerted a little force, and the fishing rod became even more taut, as if it might snap at any moment.

"Do you need my help, Lin Yan?"

Asuna was so nervous that fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She stared at the taut fishing rod, wishing she could rush up and help Lin Yan.

But since Lin Yan refused, it means he was absolutely certain.

The arc of the fishing rod is getting larger and larger.

Given Lin Yan's strength, his power and agility are absolutely at their peak, so dealing with this kind of physically demanding combat is more than enough for him.

The force over there was becoming increasingly domineering.

It seemed to sense that death was imminent.

"You can see it now!"

Asuna looked into the distance, and on the shimmering surface of the lake, she saw a huge creature emerging from the water; it must be the largest fish in the lake.

The enormous, hill-like fish reached mid-air, and its most peculiar feature was its six thick legs, which rapidly crawled towards the shore.

And those menacing fangs were clearly visible.

The giant ancient fish had eyes as big as basketballs, and the moment its eyes met Lin Yan's, it let out a howl.

"Hiss..."

It's less a fish and more a monster.

Asuna's face turned pale, and she quickly hid behind Lin Yan.

Lin Yan smiled.

Bend your elbow.

make a fist!

Take a small step and twist your waist!

The power of a single punch.

Everything was annihilated.

This is not human!

This is God!

boom--

The space beneath Lin Yan's feet rippled, like a boulder falling into a calm lake, creating ripples as if a raging storm had broken out.

His fist was enveloped in a black aura, like burning black flames.

Dark energy.

The ultimate form of dark energy.

The muscles beneath the clothes became even more prominent.

A complex tattoo gradually appeared on Lin Yan's back, intricate and elaborate. The tattoo became increasingly visible as his body temperature rose.

hum-

The air buzzed.

It was as if the whole world was completely silent except for the buzzing sound.

The punch landed on the strange fish, and just before the immense power was about to burst forth, Lin Yan stopped, only unleashing one ten-millionth of it.

puff-

boom! ! ! !

A stiff smile appeared on Asuna's face as she took a few steps back. All she saw was the shimmering reflection of light throughout the sky.

The monster immediately turned into huge, glowing fragments that scattered everywhere.

Asuna's mouth dropped open, and she was so shocked she couldn't speak, and she stood there motionless.

"It's done."

Lin Yan said with a smile.

"Such a huge monster... and you actually used... your fists..." Asuna suddenly came to her senses and smiled strangely. "That's right. I've used my fists to deal with bosses before, and every time I saw one, I felt my heart pound."

Sudden--

A shout came from afar.

It turned out that Nishida and the others had just witnessed this scene, and they were all completely shocked by what they saw.

"Who is that boy? He's incredibly strong."

"Heroes have always emerged from among the young, I admire you greatly!!!"

"That attack was absolutely awesome."

"It's unbelievable."
