Asuka was completely confused, not understanding what she meant.
"After we finish our physical exams, let's go have some fun... Should we go to a hotel or go home? Shall we... have a second round?"
"Don't talk nonsense! There are a lot of people here."
"Understand."
Chapter 511 (Main Text 511) Sword Art Online, but the protagonist is... Kirito.
A new day begins.
The world of Sword Art Online.
Today is a very special day, as a game called "Sword Art Online" is launched.
Unlike ordinary online games, this game features a special helmet that projects the player's consciousness into the game world, providing an extremely realistic sensory experience.
This is why Sword Art Online was snapped up as soon as it was released. However, the official team selected one thousand beta testers from among the many players, who could experience the world earlier than regular players.
Kirito was one of them.
Today is the first day of the open beta for Sword Art Online, and the newbie plaza is packed with people.
Thanks to technological advancements, the tactile sensations in games are almost indistinguishable from those in reality.
With its freely changeable appearance and body type, Sword Art Online is not just a fighting game, but also a large-scale social platform.
However, Kirito didn't care about these things; he cared more about the game experience.
Although this is just a game world, the joy it brings Kirito far surpasses that of real life.
Moreover, as a closed beta tester, Kirito knows the fastest way to level up.
Therefore, Kirito went to the wilderness as quickly as possible, intending to hunt a few wild boars to level up.
As they walked, a man's voice suddenly called out to Kirito.
"Excuse me, buddy, you seem so skilled, you must be a closed beta player, right? This is my first time playing this game, could you teach me how to play?" a male player asked apologetically.
Kirito carefully examined the other person, and could tell from their clear yet naive eyes that they meant no harm.
"Mm." Kirito nodded.
What's the highest system requirement for a game? Friends, of course.
No matter how fun a game is, you'll get tired of it in a short time if you don't have friends to play with.
"My name is Klein, and what's yours, buddy?" Klein introduced himself very familiarly.
"Kiri...Kirito".
Klein suddenly leaned closer: "Kirito, why do you seem shy? Is it inconvenient for you? Don't worry about me. If I cause you any trouble, just ignore me."
"No...no, that's not true. I just don't really like greeting people." Kirito said with a wry smile, "If you want to level up, then come with me."
Soon, the two arrived in the suburbs and began killing the lowest-level wild monsters.
Because it was completely different from traditional games, it took Klein a long time to figure out how the game worked.
By the time the two had become familiar with the game controls, it was already dark.
"It's supposed to be an RPG, but they've abandoned the magic setting. That's quite a bold idea. Only melee combat. It sounds pretty cool. Oh, right, I'm logging off. I ordered pizza at 5:30. Want to add each other as friends?" Klein said, searching for the logout button.
But after searching for a long time, Klein was horrified to discover that there was no exit button on the game interface.
"This... must be a bug in the game, right? The developers must be swamped with work right now," Klein couldn't help but say. "But it's okay, as long as a family member helps us unplug the power, we can exit the game. Do you have any family members?"
Kirito nodded: "I live with my mother and sister."
Klein excitedly leaned closer: "Little sister? How old are you? How about introducing you to me?"
Seeing how excited the other person was, Kirito was momentarily at a loss for how to refuse.
"My sister is only thirteen years old and loves all kinds of sports. She's from a completely different world than us," Kirito explained immediately.
But why isn't there an exit button? Such a serious bug on the very first day of the public beta, what is the official team doing?
Just then, a bell rang out in the distance.
All players were forcibly teleported to the main square.
A conspiracy is about to unfold.
Just as the players were at a loss, a strange puppet appeared in mid-air. The puppet claimed to be the creator of the game, Kayaba Akihiko.
Hearing that it was an official, everyone's emotions calmed down a little, but soon, Kayaba Akihiko's words caused many players' emotions to explode.
First: All players' consciousnesses are locked in this world, and they can't get out at all.
Second: If a game player dies, their physical body in the real world will also die. Similarly, if someone forcibly removes the helmet, it will emit extremely strong electromagnetic waves that will damage the player's brain. To date, 213 people have died from this.
Third: If you want to leave this world, you must complete the game; to complete the game, you must conquer the 100-story tower.
Regular players are unaware of the difficulty of this task, but closed beta testers know that it is almost an impossible task to complete.
It took Kirito two whole months to barely climb to the eighth floor. To completely beat the game, it would take at least several years.
"Why did you do this, you bastard? Let us out right now! You're committing a crime!" The players were furious.
This is no longer just a game.
This has already affected everyone's personal safety.
"Also, I've prepared a small gift for everyone; it's in your backpacks. Alright, everyone, have fun playing the game." After saying this, Kayaba Akihiko disappeared from the spot.
Out of curiosity, the players opened their backpacks one after another.
After Kirito opened his backpack, he found a small mirror, a game item, inside.
"Why did Kayaba Akihiko give the player a mirror?" Kirito looked at his face in the mirror and suddenly realized that the reflection was actually his real-life appearance.
Just then, a player in the distance let out a scream.
It turns out that the purpose of this mirror is to make people look like they do in the real world.
These online couples were also exposed for who they really were.
In the game, he's an adorable little girl; in real life, he's a forty-year-old man.
He's a rich and handsome guy in the game, but a slovenly man in real life.
Suddenly, Klein screamed, pointing at Kirito with a terrified expression: "Who are you?!"
At first, Kirito was a very ordinary-looking boy in the game, but now that he's shed his disguise...
Long, flowing hair that reached her waist; skin as white as porcelain; slender limbs; a supple waist; and a slightly protruding chest!
"You... Kirito... You... You're actually a girl!!!"
Kirito looked at his berserk game friend with a wry smile.
"Um... my real name is Kiritani Kazuko, you can just call me Kiriko." Kiriko scratched her cheek a little awkwardly.
Sure enough, it's easier for boys' accounts to communicate with others.
Look, Klein is so excited he can't speak.
Chapter 512 (Main Text 512) A sudden awakening, and a beautiful girl appeared in my bed.
Kiriko originally had a lot to say to Klein, but seeing Klein's excited and frantic state, she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
Why do my game friends look weird?
Suddenly, Klein stared intently at Kiriko: "We're good friends, right? How about I protect you? How old are you? Are you an adult?"
"Ten...fourteen years old."
"Only fourteen? It's okay, don't be afraid, your big brother will definitely protect you. After we leave this world, do you want to add each other as friends?" Don't worry, it's really just a normal friend, I don't mean anything by it! Klein's nostrils were constantly flaring up hot air, like a bull in a bullring.
"No...no need..." Kiriko immediately placed her hands in front of her chest and took two steps back warily.
Why is this guy looking at her with a strange expression?
After all, such a fragrant brother is a rare breed.
"Oh, right, I have something very important to tell you." Kirito immediately led Klein to a secluded spot: "We can't leave the game now. For the next while, players will be frantically grinding levels to ensure their safety. The monsters around the town will soon be wiped out. We need to get to the next settlement immediately. I know a safe route that we can take even at level one. If it's just the two of us, we should be there by midnight."
Klein looked troubled.
"Kiriko, at a time like this... shouldn't we stay in a crowded place? Besides, I have a few good friends, and they must be very scared right now. I can't just abandon them." Klein looked at Kiriko seriously.
Kiriko pinched her chin. If there were only two of them, they could arrive safely, but if they had to take care of another person, the situation would become very bad.
It was impossible for Klein to abandon his friends, and he himself could not stay in this place and remain motionless.
Now I must improve my own strength in order to better ensure my survival.
Klein seemed to notice Kirito's hesitation and immediately said generously, "It's okay, just do what you think is right, don't worry about what I think. We will definitely meet again somewhere in the future."
As the sun gradually set in the west, the light and shadow from the house separated the two people.
"We'll definitely meet again somewhere in the future," Klein said to Kiriko, and then the two parted ways.
In the future, the threat posed by players will definitely be greater than the threat posed by monsters.
No matter when, humanity's greatest enemy is always itself.
After all, items and resources are limited in this world, and if you want to get better equipment and resources, you can only ask others for help.
It cannot be ruled out that some of them are psychopaths who enjoy killing.
After all, there are laws in reality. Although many people have violent thoughts in their hearts, very few can actually put them into practice.
After all, not everyone has the same kind of courage as Tetsuya Yamagami.
But this world is different. It's a completely virtual world, without morality or laws. The only thing that can pursue truth is the sword in your hand.
Kiriko moved on to the next settlement at top speed.
Although she encountered a few minor monsters along the way, she dealt with them all with her superb skills, and arrived at the next village without any major incidents.
Sword Art Online also inherits the gameplay of most RPG games, with villages and towns being "safe zones" where monsters generally do not enter and players cannot harm them.
However, if you stay in villages and towns, your level will not increase at all.
In fact, a large number of people in Sword Art Online also choose this way of life, staying in a safe place and not coming out, occasionally doing some scattered tasks or improving some life skills, which is enough to barely survive.
When Kiriko arrived in the village, it was already midnight. She could only knock gently on the door of the village inn, pay the fee, and successfully get a room.
Characters in Sword Art Online also have fatigue and hunger levels.
All Kiriko wants to do right now is to get some rest.
"The monsters around the village are a bit high level, so I'll have to be careful when fighting monsters tomorrow." Kirito gently closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep in the game world.
When Kiriko opened her eyes again, it was already daylight.
"Okay, I need to stay focused today and make sure I beat the game and get back to reality." Kirito patted her cheeks, but just as she was about to get up, suddenly... she realized that there was another person sleeping next to her.
Kiriko instinctively picked up her weapon, thinking it was an assassin coming to ambush her.
Upon closer inspection, however, it was discovered that the other person was a very cute girl with round cheeks, and a little drool was dribbling from the corner of her mouth, probably because she was sleeping too comfortably.
Kiriko gently poked the girl's cheek.
"Don't poke me! Let me sleep a little longer! I was so tired last night!" The girl rolled over, closed her eyes, and groped around randomly.
As a result, he ended up touching Kiriko's waist.
And just like that, the girl wrapped her arms around Kiriko's waist, as if she were hugging a pillow.
Kiriko doesn't have many friends in real life, and even though they are all girls, they rarely have such close contact.
Wait a minute! There should be a punishment mechanism in the game to prevent male characters from harassing female characters.
Wait a minute, there is indeed a punishment mechanism for male characters harassing female characters, but two girls hugging and sticking together... Kirito herself doesn't know if this will trigger the punishment mechanism.
After all, her way of playing games is to grind and kill monsters like crazy.
Who would fall in love in a game like this?
"I'm so sorry to disturb your sleep, but could you please get up for a moment?" Kirito gently nudged the girl's shoulder and noticed that the girl was also wearing game equipment.
She's probably a rather clueless female gamer.
The girl opened her eyes very unhappy and stared at Kirito for a long time.
"Who are you, beautiful lady?"
