Wrong, my team members are from daily life

"What do you think the boss is thinking?" asked a thin mercenary.

"Don't ask, we just mind our own business." The bald man breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the black cage wrapped in a black curtain.

No one noticed that in the steel cage as dark as the abyss, a pair of scarlet vertical pupils suddenly opened.

……

Late at night, Cecil's blacksmith shop.

Xia Jia lay on the bed in his room, with his hands stretched out, lost in thought.

Only now did he seem to realize that he seemed to have had close contact with the girl.

"Does the black cat like me a little bit?"

“It’s the suspension bridge effect.”

Xia Jia secretly sighed that fate was playing tricks on him.

But then again, if there were no other world, it would be almost impossible to get close to someone like Black Cat, who would be so arrogant and sharp-tongued as soon as he met someone.

"I'm not called Kousaka Kirino's sister."

Xia Jia thought of the black cat he met on the Internet...

"If it weren't for the best-selling author's pen name, Adventer, I probably wouldn't be able to talk to him."

Thinking about all these trivial things, what Xia Jia cared about was what Astralia said to him.

The search for Toumo and Kuroneko was purely a matter of fate. One of them was a childhood sweetheart who applied on his own initiative, and the other relied on his financial ability.

But Xia Jia did ignore the cruelty of this world, and also thought about the age of Black Cat and Tu Shou.

Fortunately, although this world is the real world, for Kuroneko and Touma, it is no different from a game.

The problem that Xia Jia is worried about is what kind of people should he bring in next.

"First, think about what I can do for them? Money? No, maybe something more valuable. This way, the interests of both sides will be equal."

Fighting is painful. If you get hit by a knife, you will be in so much pain that you will die. Even if you punch, you will get hurt. Even if you run, you will be out of breath and exhausted.

Xia Jia clenched his fists, and the stinging pain was clearly felt.

No one wants to suffer this kind of pain for no reason...

I need to find someone who is strong for themselves, not for me.

Only when people work hard for themselves can they realize their greatest potential.

"Alas, I am still too kind-hearted to be a ruthless capitalist."

Thinking of this, Xia Jia slowly took out his mobile phone and screened for suitable candidates.

Chapter 25 Group members’ reactions and changes in chat groups

“Dwellers of the Dark Realm, even if I am submerged in the abyss and sealed in an icy sarcophagus, I will still shout out with my decayed voice! This game is truly amazing!”

In the early morning, Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat popped up in the group. This unexpected remark caused several submarines to explode.

[Blank: "I'm awesome, you almost broke my winning streak, do you know what time it is now?"]

[The Brutal Hero: "March 2022, 3. It's 29 o'clock in the morning. By the way, Blank, did you stay up late again?"]

【Blank: "Oh, this kind of thing shouldn't matter to a stay-at-home person."】

[Iwanaga Kotoko: "Oh my god, your schedule is also out of date!"]

[Shadow: "You are so naive. The sunrise in Sakura City at 4 o'clock is beautiful."]

[The Brutal Hero: "I'm dying of laughter. I watch this every day, but I don't think it's beautiful."]

【Blank: "What, what is a sunrise? That thing will only burn my skin and blind my vision."】

【Shadow: "Humph, stupid passerby."】

Shadow just thought that this group of people was noisy. The new day started with a ten-kilometer run.

[Iwanaga Kotoko: "Ah, am I the only one working overtime until now? By the way, @千叶の堕天聖黑猫, what's going on with the game?"]

Facing the rising sun, Iwanaga Kotoko walked along the deserted path with dark circles under her eyes. Because most monsters hide in the mountains and forests, her daily routine is not normal.

She still stared at the screen: "What is that vanished Adventer planning?"

After a while, Tu Shou also showed up.

[Thunder Hammer User: "Lunch is delicious, death. The elves' ears are soft, but they have bad tempers. The cat girl's ears are soft and feel good to rub, death. And the Crazy Moon Thunder Hammer is super cool, death! But it's too heavy and I can't lift it at all."]

[The devilish hero: "Nani! Cat girl!"]

【Blank: "Nani! Elves!"】

【Yotani Miko: “What game?”】

[Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat: "It's the one that the dog group owner posted in the group before, a full-dive game that completely surpasses SAO. By the way, another night owl has appeared."]

[Yotani Miko: "Oh, can I say I didn't sleep all night?"]

An apartment in Hehe County.

Jianzi had dark circles under her eyes and stood blankly in front of the bathroom mirror. Since yesterday after school, she had been able to see some strange things.

At night, those things actually crawled into my bed.

She was so frightened that she could only close her eyes and pretend to be asleep, but the commotion in the quilt made it impossible for her to fall asleep.

When he heard the notification tone from his cell phone, Jian Zicai pretended to be woken up, and went to the bathroom to hide while looking at his phone.

"Ah, how could the world become like this..."

[Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat: "Can't sleep?"]

[Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat: "Then you can try to apply for a place from the group owner."]

【Yotani Miko: “What do you mean?”】

In front of the mirror, Jianzi stared at the phone with lifeless eyes. Behind her lay a face without pupils. The fishy air echoed in the girl's ears.

Can you see it?

You can see it.

Jianzi was sweating profusely and pretended to chat with people in the group.

[Chiba's Fallen Saint Black Cat: "The most surprising thing about this game is that it can replace sleep. I was playing the game from 2 o'clock last night to o'clock in the morning, but when I finished the game, I felt like I had a long sleep and didn't feel sleepy at all."

"Otherwise, how can a body that should be sleeping in the eternal abyss listen to the prayers of its people?"

[Thunder Hammer User: "Ah, Naru or Duo Death, I was wondering why you are so energetic today, you have been playing Death games all night!"]

[Chiba's Fallen Holy Black Cat: "I'll give you a piece of advice. In the parallel world, you can't sense your physical body. If you don't want to lose half of your body and fall into darkness forever, I suggest you open the door to the world in the Sea of ​​​​Silence."]

The black cat also stood in front of the mirror, looking at the big turtle painted on his face with a black marker, speechless.

No need to look, it should be the masterpiece of my sister.

I guess he got up to pee and found out that I wasn't asleep, so he naturally played a prank on me when he called me and got no response.

"Damn Hinata!" The black cat immediately locked onto the second older girl.

Looking at the still flashing phone, Black Cat continued typing.

[Chiba's Fallen Holy Black Cat: "Apart from this, in the parallel world, only the tributes offered to the Night Demon Queen are satisfactory. Of course, if it weren't for the interference of the angels, I should be able to leave an eternal shadow for my people to worship."]

[Iwanaga Kotoko: That's enough. Who chose those two Chuunibyou as the first testers? They can't explain it clearly.]

[Iwanaga Kotoko: "Let me summarize. In simple terms, the game has the effect of hypnotizing the brain nerves, causing people to enter a state similar to the brain in a vat? The user will completely lose control of the body?"

"Also, the food is delicious, but I can't take a screenshot, so I can't verify it, right?"]

Iwanaga Kotoko thought to herself, "This is much more advanced than the known neural infiltration devices on the market. Is there any monster with such strong scientific research capabilities?"

[Yoshitani Miko: "Is that so? Great. Then can I try it?"]

[Iwanaga Kotoko: "Hey, didn't you see what I said? That thing is very dangerous!"]

Jianzi was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that there was a solution to the problem he just encountered. If he could go completely stealthily, he wouldn't have to worry about those strange things.

I was wondering if I would not be able to sleep after this.

"Hmph, you can harass me as much as you want, as long as I pretend I don't know, it should be fine!"

As if he had some hope for the future, Jianzi packed his clothes, pretended to have an appointment with his friends for a morning jog, and decided to leave the room temporarily.

On the other side, Bai, who was lying on the ground in a daze, glanced at the message box and suddenly his eyes widened.

"Nini! Look!"

"what?"

Kong Sixian was operating the character, not forgetting to turn his head to take a look.

Bai pointed at the chat group message on the tablet...

"I can actually play it even when I'm sleeping...hiss - who came up with this magical black technology?" Kong was shocked.

Bai gave a thumbs up: "Lack of sleep is a woman's biggest enemy!"

Kong also rubbed his dark circles and agreed: "I remember the group leader was called Adventer, he invited us last time..."

Bai nodded: "Yes."

Kong gritted his teeth, quickly operated his hands and feet, and quickly finished off his opponent. He took the tablet and said:

"Then without further ado, let's quickly talk to that guy. I must have a spot next time."

On a deserted road.

Iwanaga Kotoko rubbed her eyebrows in pain and let out a long breath.

"Really? I can't get any useful information. Hey, samurai!"

A ghost of a samurai with a katana stuck in his head appeared in front of Iwanaga Kotoko: "Please give me your orders, Princess."

Iwanaga Kotoko said calmly, "How are the two targets I asked you to pay attention to?"

The undead warrior bowed his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "This...Princess, please go and see it yourself."

"Oh?" Kotoko Iwanaga raised her eyebrows, and her right artificial eye was reflected in the morning sun, sparkling.

Is this... an incident?

Chapter 26 Changes Brought by Grace

In the early morning, the warm sunshine shines into the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-end duplex villa.

The blonde girl put on her snow-white stockings layer by layer, and the rubber bands on her thighs made a crisp sound.

"Another day full of hope, death!"

The sunlight shone on Tu Shou's smooth forehead, reflecting a layer of golden light. She slowly tied her pigtails, waved her "war hammer" around and showed a satisfied smile.

"Oh, oh, I need to convey the information from the parallel world to the Master as soon as possible, death! Hurry up, death!"

Tu Shou turned around and walked quickly downstairs. He ignored the look in the maid's eyes and picked up two slices of bread and put them in his mouth.

"Hey, Miss! Breakfast?"

"It's too late, death! I'm going out."

The maid looked up and saw that it was only 6:00. But Miss... the driver hadn't come to work yet!

On the sidewalk leading to the school, Tu Shou was holding a piece of bread in her mouth and walking very quickly. The scenery on both sides was receding. Because she was in a hurry to pass on the information, she herself did not notice anything unusual.

At this time, in a cafe on the way to school.

On the booth facing the street, there is a camera that changes its focal length.

Kotoko Iwanaga was looking at the laptop, which was replaying the footage of Touma passing by the store.

The warrior ghost rubbed his hands and said flatteringly: "I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess would find something unusual just after her arrival."

Iwanaga Kotoko stared at the computer screen, which was scrolling with complicated data. She bit her thumb and muttered:

"Compared to yesterday, the kid's physical fitness has improved significantly. His speed, endurance, and even reaction speed have all increased by 20%. Tsk, is there really something wrong with that Adventer?"
