World Tree Host's Wandering Digital Project

Asuna was chatting with Leafa. They had exchanged contact information in the game a long time ago.

"Why haven't you been online these days?"

"I feel a little tired and don't want to play."

"How come? I think it's quite fun to maximize the realism."

"Don't you think the eyes of those NPCs are very real?"

"Is there? It's just compiled data."

Asuna put down her phone. This was her first time communicating with other players about NPC issues. Her friend's answer made her a little confused. Just then, Koichiro came and Asuna opened the door.

Koichiro held up the turned-on computer in his hand to the listless Asuna, pulled Asuna to sit in the living room, and showed his game library to his sister.

"If you don't want to play a game that's too realistic, try playing something else."

Connecting the computer to the TV screen, Koichiro opened an 8+ game. In the vast galaxy, life is just a number.

As the beams bombard the surface, the numbers representing the remaining population of a planet gradually disappear.

Asuna just watched her brother playing the coloring game with great interest and sighed helplessly.

Of course she understood what Koichiro meant. Those were just data, just like in this interstellar game, no matter how many lives there were, they were just a string of numbers. At best, the lives of [Aincrad] took up more memory.

Asuna patted her brother's shoulder as she watched a group of soldiers from another game charge towards a group of bugs under the command of Koichiro, and all of them were killed after a series of stupid and rigid operations.

"I'm going back."

It was rare for Koichiro not to play virtual games. He was so addicted to a real-time strategy game that was completely different from a role-playing game that he completely forgot his purpose. Fortunately, although he forgot it, he still achieved his goal.

Asuna left Koichiro and returned to her room, patted her fair cheeks with both hands, and put on her game helmet.

Asuna feels like she is not herself during this period of time and is troubled by false emotions.

He took a deep breath and entered the game. Suguha was still waiting for him to play.

This time, I want to let Suguha see her new role.

“Finally succeeded!”

"Oh!"

Kirito and Klein high-fived each other. Both of them had reached the conditions for evolution and could choose whether to evolve or not.

The previous Tyrannosaurus boss left behind a huge bone helmet, which was considered a boss drop. Kirito didn't want it and gave it to Tiabel. In real life, Kirito and Klein were given a large sum of money by Tiabel, and the bone helmet was sold to him. The huge profit made them want to become professional players.

If one wants to be a professional player, one must always maintain the advantage in the game, so Kirito and Klein leveled up separately.

Kirito, who had only just received information about Klein, came to reunite with Klein.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't mention it. He was killed by a sneak attack from a mature Digimon and reincarnated as Kendomon. Luckily he still has a sword."

Klein touched his head and saw that the little dinosaur had turned into an unknown creature wearing a kendo uniform. Judging from its feet and tail, it was still a little dinosaur, but everything else was fine. The only thing that made Klein unhappy was that the samurai sword had turned into a bamboo sword.

"So...when the reality is at its highest level, what does it feel like to die?"

Even Kirito couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't die once, so he learned from his friends that the injuries in the game didn't seem to hurt as much as in real life, or that they didn't hurt as much after he quit the game. After Kirito logged off, he recalled that the pain of his bones being crushed didn't seem to be felt at all. So what does death feel like?

Recalling the moment of death, Klein's face hidden in the darkness grinned bitterly.

"Now that I think about it, I really can't remember it. I remember that a truncate insect cut me in half, and then I went back to the first level of the stone nest. It must have been very painful at the time, and I almost cried. Now I can't remember it at all."

The bloodiness of Digimon and the blurred memory of the helmet prevent the feeling of death from leaving a psychological shadow, but there are still some people who are mentally fragile and cannot bear it.

"It's a good thing that you can't remember. Do you have enough experience? Let's go and avenge you."

"That's not necessary. My experience points are low after reincarnation. Although it's still a little short, I should have enough in two days. I'll take revenge on that worm beast after I evolve."

Klein waved his hand.

"In that case, I'll take you to level up, and I'll also gain some experience."

"Please, if you have time."

Klein was not polite to Kirito, he was a carefree person.

After a period of killing monsters, Klein was led by Kirito and accumulated enough experience.

"Let's get started then..."

"and many more!"

Just as Kirito opened the panel to confirm, Klein suddenly stopped him and grabbed him mysteriously.

Kirito didn't know what Klein was going to do.

"How can you be so casual! This is a very important process!"

Klein brought Kirito back to the town and found the priest in the church, an Angewomon NPC. There were many Digimon praying in the small church, all of them were players.

This left Kirito confused.

"There doesn't seem to be a temple here, only a church that believes in the World Tree. I read on the Internet that it is very effective."

After saying this, Klein closed his eyes, lowered his head, and clasped his hands together respectfully.

Kirito didn't know what expression to use. A little dinosaur in samurai clothes was praying to a virtual god in a church.

He also understood what these players were here for. The devout look of them all praying frightened the people of Kirito.

"Master Yggdrasil! Please help me become more like a samurai!"

Shouting out his wish, Klein nervously confirmed his evolution, his body gradually lengthening in the white light.

"How about it?"

After the evolution was completed, Klein still did not open his eyes, but asked Kirito beside him to confirm it first.

"Is that so? But he is indeed a samurai..."

"Great!"

Klein suddenly opened his eyes and looked down at his warrior armor. Although it was a bit simple, Klein was obviously satisfied.

"Samuraimon, that's great!"

Klein pulled out his character panel, and the result of this evolution was obviously in line with his expectations.

Kirito noticed that Father Angewomon looked a little strange, attracted by Klein's shout.

"Sorry, he was so excited when he just evolved."

"...Nothing. Only by respecting God can we obtain His mercy. It seems that your companion is very pious."

In Angewomon's view, this was a wish fulfilled by Lord Yggdrasil. More importantly, this might be a gift from Lord Yggdrasil. If it were him, he would definitely be filled with tears.

Kirito glanced at Klein who was kissing him while holding his sword, and the next moment he put his hands together. If it was really so effective, he would try it too. It wouldn't cost him much anyway.

But he was too embarrassed to shout anymore, so he just kept repeating it in his mind.

"Master World Tree, please help me evolve to a powerful mature stage."

Kirito felt his body breaking apart and reassembling itself, but he felt no pain.

"Kirito is handsome too."

Klein's words made Kirito, who was also a little afraid to open his eyes, relax.

Appearance is strength, and if you are handsome, your fighting power will not be weak.

"This is?"

Kirito's own body looked very familiar. Wasn't this the one he encountered during the trial?

"Lyramon, mature (hybrid), beast-man type, a Digimon with the power of light. The thin purple parts on various parts of its body are Saint Amethysts that are sealed with holy light. Due to the holy light, the amethyst can remain very hard when the owner has a positive heart, but once the owner has a negative heart,

The heart will become fragile.

He is willing to risk his life for what he believes in, upholds the spirit of chivalry, and hates cruelty. Wild Wolfmon is taciturn and often gives people an indifferent impression because he doesn't want to get involved with others, but he is actually a kind-hearted warrior.

His special moves are using his "Light Sword (Licht Schwert)" to cut the opponent in half (Light Vanquisher), and connecting the two swung lightsabers to kill multiple people (Double Vanquisher).

"Negative Heart..."

Kirito felt a little annoyed. This should be a setting, right? It can't really be linked to the player's psychological state, right?

When you knock on the beautiful crystal on it, it makes a crisp sound, but you can't tell at all how hard such a beautiful gem is.

But there are still other things that I haven’t finished watching.

Kirito reached for his waist, and two sword handles were taken out, and two beams of light blades took shape instantly.

Observing the two swords that had once beaten him badly, Kirito's mouth gradually widened. He had personally experienced the strength of Wolfmon. At that time, Wolfmon probably didn't use any skills, but only relied on technology and physical fitness to beat him so badly. Kirito couldn't help but show his joy at the evolution of Wolfmon into such a powerful Digimon.

"Let's go have a barbecue together!"

From behind, Klein put his arms around Kirito’s neck.

"Before that, there's one more thing. Let's practice?"

Kirito and Klein looked at each other under their helmets, and they both saw the heat in each other's eyes.

There is an arena in the town, and players who apply to fight there will not be punished by death.

Before eating the barbecue, the two went straight to the arena, and as expected, Klein lost miserably.

Shiratori Maru' was cut off by a 'light sword', and the other one cut off Klein's neck.

The two men were discussing the battle while sitting in a barbecue restaurant waiting for their food to be served.

Chapter 313: Upgrading to the Digital World, Server Update

"That's all, thank you for your help."

Klein took his order and handed the menu to the colorful beast waiter.

The food you eat in the game tastes exactly the same as in reality, and you don't have to worry about gaining weight. There are also many fantasy ingredients, which makes the catering industry in the game always popular, and those Digimon who open restaurants make a lot of money.

"You're really ridiculously strong, I can't touch you no matter what, and your armor is also very hard. Now I have to speed up my mission again."

The loser has to pay for the meal. That’s the stakes, and Klein’s not-so-well-off wallet is about to shrink again.

"Why else would it be a hidden mission reward? The elimination rate is so high."

Kirito shook the Coke in his hand, and when he went to look for the Pogomon again, it was gone.

The quality of Wolfmon is much higher than that of Warriormon. It is much faster and stronger.

Even though Kirito had almost forgotten the basics of kendo, Klein was completely unable to defend against the two lightsabers wielded with quick reactions.

The occasional counterattack only added some scratches on the amethyst, which was much stronger than Klein's warrior armor.

'Shiratorimaru' was directly cut off in the final battle with 'Light Sword'.

"I was thinking about practicing dual swords."

Kirito also understood that he had completely relied on the panel data to forcefully crush Klein. He did not know how to use the dual swords at all, let alone reach the strength of the wild wolf beast he saw at the beginning. That was a true master of swordsmanship. Although he had given up kendo, Kirito still had some vision and could see that the wild wolf beast had superb swordsmanship.

"I want to sign up for a sword class, too. But then again, does Neon have dual swords? Two-sword style is not the same as yours, right?"

Two-sword style is a long sword and a short sword, and Kirito is two lightsabers of the same length

"Go find it. I don't expect to learn anything. Just some basic sword skills will be enough. Real sword skills don't teach people how to fight big monsters."

Kirito still knows these basic common sense, and some training classes outside are not as good as his sister's level.

"That's right."

"The meat of the ceratopsian beast is here."

The colorful beast came over holding a large basin full of large chunks of meat.

The aroma of the meat made the two of them drool. Dinosaur meat, this is impossible to eat in reality.

To be honest, it wasn't very delicious. It would be very difficult for humans to chew it, but it was no problem for Digimons. The two of them ate it with relish. Adding some other things, the meal almost bankrupted Klein, which was more in line with his image.

After eating and drinking, the two of them strolled on the street. The players passing by looked at the two big guys who had evolved into mature stages with envy.

"I plan to set up an organization like that guy Diabel."

"You want to be famous?"

"This is the highest ideal of a samurai. Of course a samurai as good as me should try."
