I live my life in Tokyo

A thriving scene.

Last time, Kaede Sakakibara seemed to be playing a single-player game, but this time at least she can team up with the savages.

"Hi? Adding a guild to the game so early?"

"The basic gameplay, in addition to upgrading the guild level, there are also guild battles and so on." Yuuki Koichiro explained, but he didn't seem to want to talk more about this topic, because the game rules and system of the guild battles are still under development.

"I think you might as well go and do some quests, and then play a four-player dungeon to test the waters."

"Row."

Kaede Sakakibara controlled the Minotaur warrior and strolled in the main city. Along the way, the most common girls he saw were cat girls, fox girls, dragon girls and wolf girls.

"What's wrong with this world? Why are all the characters chosen female? I can't see any of my kind?"

The corners of Yuuki Koichiro's mouth twitched, but he still tried to answer Sakakibara Kaede's profound question, "They probably don't want to see a male character... running with his hips twitching in front of the screen, right?"

“Yes, that’s a strong reason.”

Kaede Sakakibara chose a male character, and he regarded this character as his alter ego in another world, and another self. In this case, it is a bit strange to choose a female. However, everyone's play style and views are different, which is why there are so many different races in this game.

"Oh, this mission, Golden Valley?"

Sakakibara Kaede answered several NPC's questions and then received a mission.

"Golden Valley, hehehe!" Yuki Koichiro said with a crooked smile, "I didn't expect you to encounter such a difficult level right at the start. My condolences, Sakakibara-kun."

"I suspect you did it on purpose." But Sakakibara Kaede couldn't produce any evidence.

As the bell rang, the Tauren entered the dungeon with his sword and shield raised high. He took a photo of the other three teammates, all of whom were level 19. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the level 20 Iron Tank.

Sakakibara Feng sneered. All those evil spirits were nothing in front of the Minotaur warrior.

Chapter 27 Send them all, buddy

This week, Kaede Sakakibara's workload was not as much as she had imagined.

He knew when he read the script that this was a TV series similar to a group portrait drama, and his work this week was not even as much as that of Katsuyama Nobuyuki in Nagano.

Of course he already knew this, otherwise he wouldn't be playing games in the office in his free time.

"Shh, Zen is disgusting. Why is this instance full of poison? The debuff bar is full."

Sakakibara Kaede imitated a certain crooked-mouthed anchor and said, "Does this milk know milk?"

When Yuuki Koichiro saw the Tauren warrior controlled by Sakakibara Kaede fall into the debuff of poisoning and dullness, he laughed wildly in his heart, but sighed, "It's only been a few days since the closed beta started, and the players are still getting used to it. Junior Sakakibara, you are too utilitarian."

"No, this healer won't even cast Purification for me, right?" Sakakibara Kaede stared and started typing in the team chat, asking the other party to quickly drag out the Purification skill icon and put it in a row at the bottom of the screen, and use the skill when they see bubbles appearing on someone.

"Ah! The wolf-sister swordsman is dead. No, how did he die?"

"I got hit by the monster's AOE attack."

"..."

Sakakibara Kaede sighed. With the death of two DPS, he could no longer hold on and was beaten to death by the monsters.

"Hiss... your modification of this little monster is a bit disgusting."

"That's right. Otherwise, what's the point of going to a dungeon? Isn't it just to become stronger?" Yuki Koichiro argued. "If the equipment level is improved but the skills are not improved, then it's just a waste of time, right?"

"If the dungeon is easy, how can we challenge this version of the boss?"

Sakakibara Kaede sighed, what he said does make some sense.

After finishing her homework, Yuuki Asuna quietly took out her cell phone and took a photo while the two of them were talking seriously about the game. She smiled and prepared to send the photo to her brother.

Now that she had nothing to do and no other plans, she slowly walked behind Sakakibara Kaede and began to watch the closed beta game demo.

Seeing the nanny start to apologize, Sakakibara Kaede typed a line of words, "Oh, it's okay, send it all, buddy, you can play casually later."

"I didn't know you could twist ropes." Koichiro Yuki looked at him in surprise. It was the first time he saw a boy play games, so he naturally knew nothing about his performance in the game.

"I have always been the rope twister in the team. Just learn and that's it."

Kaede Sakakibara controlled the Minotaur and wielded a life-size two-handed sword to clear a path in front. He had died here once before, and of course he would not repeat the same mistake this time. The nurse seemed to have come to her senses, and each purification was given very well.

The giant reptile that had conquered all the obstacles along the way and occupied the Golden Valley soon fell to the ground and turned into a corpse under the attack of the four people.

Sakakibara Feng suppressed his nausea and went forward to touch the corpse, and successfully picked up a blue quality greatsword. He checked his equipment bar and saw that the equipment he had just picked up was several points higher than his current equipment. After switching, he returned to the battle.

"Your face is so nice, why did your weapon explode?"

"What's the point of playing games if you don't rely on luck?" Sakakibara Kaede replied, "Four people, four fixed drops. One of the four will definitely drop something useful. Even if it's useless, we can just sell it for money, right?"

"Well, that makes sense."

Koichiro Yuki looked at the successful Kaede Sakakibara and pondered for a moment, then took out a small notebook and wrote down the words "roll equipment".

There was another fight in the depths of the Golden Valley, where golden liquid constantly gushed out from the walls. If you were touched by it, you would immediately be poisoned. The Minotaur warrior was large in model, but the area affected by the attack was the same as that of other characters, so he successfully passed through the passage filled with poisonous fog.

Waiting before them is the final boss of the Golden Deep, the poisonous spider.

"Wow, what a random name."

"After all, it's just a small dungeon boss. It's not necessary to give it a cool and stylish name, like I am the incoming storm - Death Spider."

"Well, that does make sense."

Sakakibara Feng echoed, his greatsword constantly causing damage to the spider, but the tauren warrior looked very powerful, but the damage was not as high as that of the skinny wolf girl... Who said she was a DPS?

"Take my sword!"

Sakakibara Kaede used the Wild Hunt ability skill, and the Minotaur roared, jumped high, and the greatsword in his hand flashed with white light, falling towards the spider like a meteor.

"!"

The spider let out a strange hoarse cry and climbed up to the ceiling with a rustling sound.

The four of them suddenly lost their target. The Minotaur fell to the ground in a daze, feeling extremely upset as he looked at the skills he couldn't use.

"Wow, how can this boss fly into the sky? Who designed this mechanism? It's disgusting." Sakakibara Kaede was unable to use his own abilities and could only watch as spiders crawled on the wall and spit out poison to attack the four people. The feeling of not being able to use his abilities was as if ants were crawling on his body.

“We think it’s reasonable to add different attack forms to the boss.”

Yuuki Koichiro pushed up his glasses and said, "When we were doing the closed beta test, we felt that a boss with a single attack method and skill was too simple. Players would soon get bored with it, so we decided to create a special action bar for the boss. Whenever the health drops to a certain level, the boss will switch attack forms and use new skills."

"Boss's health is low. The venom he sprayed almost killed me. Main attack... The tank is about to fall. 999999."

Kaede Sakakibara kept tapping on the keyboard to remind the nurse to heal faster. He used all his defensive skills but still couldn't stop the corrosive speed of the venom.

The nurse reacted in time, gave the Minotaur a big mouthful of milk, and then began to cast a purification spell to dispel the countless debuffs on his body.

"Is this a copy of the main story?"

"No, the branch line."

"Hiss...are all the side quests so difficult?"

Yuuki Koichiro raised his eyebrows, "It may be a game, but this is no joke."

"A terrible man."

Sakakibara Kaede went back to his old job and finally used his ability skill after the spider landed on the ground. A meteor fell on the spider's head and the boss's health dropped drastically. With the siege of the double-sword user and the one-handed sword user, the spider screamed and fell to the ground, and its health bar disappeared.

Sakakibara Kaede breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward to touch the equipment.

"What the hell is this?"

Looking at the little spider that appeared in his bag, the Minotaur was surprised and asked, "Is this a quest item?"

Yuuki Koichiro at the side said in a hoarse voice, "I spent the whole night trying to find this thing but it didn't come out. You got it in one go?"

"So what is this prop?"

He pushed his glasses up, leaned back in his office chair with no strength in his body, waved his hands, and said with a tone of despair, "It's a mechanical spider mount, very cool, with a drop rate of only a few percent, which is considered an extremely rare dungeon drop. I didn't expect you to get it in one go."

"So playing MMORPGs depends on luck." Sakakibara Feng advised, "Does the mount have any bonus?"

"There is no attribute bonus, but it just runs faster."

"It can also be used to show off by summoning someone before they spawn."

"?"

Sakakibara Kaede zoomed in and carefully looked at the pattern on the blue-quality greatsword. Yuuki Asuna noticed the Minotaur's username and couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"Harukaze, Mr. Harukaze?" Yuuki Asuna muttered this familiar name, and looked at Sakakibara Kaede unexpectedly with her eyes wide open, "Senior Sakakibara is Mr. Harukaze?"

"Eh?"

Sakakibara Kaede turned around, was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Asuna?"

Deathly silence.

Their eyes met, and it was the first time that Yuuki Asuna saw the blue sea in Sakakibara Kaede's eyes. However, what surprised her even more was that the person playing the online game with them turned out to be a famous actor, and a senior she knew.

Her best friend will definitely go crazy when she hears about this.

"No wonder, no wonder Sakakibara-senpai couldn't play games during this period, it turns out he was filming Kamen Rider." Yuuki Asuna explained with a smile, "He wasn't online for a while, he must be filming a reality show, right?"

"I didn't expect Asuna to be Yuuki Asuna. Asuna, Asuna, the pronunciations are exactly the same. I didn't expect that anyone would use a real name as the name of the game?" Sakakibara Kaede was surprised at the beginning, but now she has calmed down. Thinking of her name, she joked.

Yuuki Asuna cleared her throat embarrassedly and turned her face away, "I didn't think too much about it at the time..."

"Cough cough cough cough cough."

A violent and long cough broke the somewhat abnormal atmosphere between the two. Yuki Koichiro almost coughed out his lungs. He coughed so hard that Sakakibara Kaede even saw bloodshot in his eyes.

"Hiss... Shall I get you a glass of water?"

"Need not!"

Yuuki Koichiro pushed up his glasses, and the lenses flashed a dazzling white light, almost blinding Sakakibara Kaede's eyes, "Sakakibara-kun."

"exist."

"Just now, did I hear you calling Asuna?"

"No, I called Asuna, not Asuna..." Sakakibara Kaede talked for a long time, but the pronunciation of Asuna and Asuna are the same, so the explanation was in vain.

Yuuki Asuna covered her mouth and laughed, her shoulders trembling slightly.

The science guy's eyes looked even more dangerous, as if he was on the verge of going berserk.

"Sakakibara-san, can you explain?"

Yuuki Asuna stood up, stood beside Sakakibara Kaede, and looked at Yuuki Koichiro, "Okay, brother, stop making trouble."

"Asuna, get away from that man, it's dangerous!" Yuki Koichiro raised his finger and pointed at Sakakibara Kaede from a distance, "Okay, okay, I didn't expect you to be the first man after me to call Asuna by her real name, Sakakibara Kaede, I still underestimated you!"

"elder brother!"

After hearing Yuuki Koichiro's description, Yuuki Asuna felt a little shy. Indeed, when she heard Sakakibara Kaede calling Asuna, she would automatically think that Sakakibara Kaede was calling her game ID instead of her real name.

After seeing her brother's size, she suddenly felt shy.

"Sakakibara-senpai and I met through online games."

Yuuki Asuna explained, "My game ID is Asuna, which is exactly the same as my real name, so it's normal for Sakakibara-senpai to call me that."

"Hondo mud?"

"Hong Duoda!"

Sakakibara Kaede nodded repeatedly, and seeing this, Yuki Koichiro took off his glasses and put them aside. The sharp aura of this science macho man also disappeared.

"This is quite strange. When I saw this ID, I didn't think of it as Yuuki-chan." Sakakibara Feng smiled helplessly, "Now Yuuki-chan knows why I don't want to meet in person."

“额，哈哈。”

Asuna Yuuki smiled bitterly. If they really succeeded in meeting in person, not to mention Yuki's reaction, her friend, the girl with the ID name Mitte, who was her classmate in real life, would definitely faint on the ground and lose consciousness.

"Sword Art Online looks quite fun." said Asuna Yuuki.

"I originally wanted to make this game for Asuna to play." Yuuki Koichiro said calmly, without taking credit or complaining. His words were calm, but full of the love and care of a brother for his sister.

"Well, I want to try it too. I just watched Sakakibara-senpai operate it, and now I seem to understand how to operate it."

Yuuki Asuna whispered that she is now in the final period of preparation for the college entrance examination. Her mother at home is watching her closely. Apart from eating and sleeping, she studies every day. It can be said that she has no time for entertainment and activities.

The same goes for her friends. In the past, they could make plans to go out for snacks on weekends, but now that is simply impossible.

There is also student union work to deal with at school. This year is her last year and there are too many things she wants to accomplish.
