People who are interested in comics will never die in the Shura field

But in the real world, a single shot can send someone to their death.

Therefore, although there are many high-level players, few are willing to step up. Nobody wants to become cannon fodder, working hard and risking their lives to beat the game, only to enjoy the fruits of victory with cowards who do nothing.

In short, due to various reasons, very few people responded.

Asuna was one of the players who responded.

Many things need to be done by someone.

The meeting place is in the very center of the city. The letter clearly states that if you want to join this team's challenge, you just need to come here at the specified time. There is a building there that looks like the Roman Colosseum, but it's a smaller version.

Asuna, carrying a sword and wearing a black cloak, blended into the crowd.

I quietly found a place to sit down.

Tilberu is a male player, and this matter has reached the very center of the arena. He is also very uneasy, wondering how many players will respond to him.

The time has come.

Tilberu opened his eyes. There were more people present than he had imagined, conservatively estimated at fifty or sixty.

This number is already quite good. If these people can work together, defeating the second-level boss will not be difficult.

After all, these people had been leveling up for a month, their equipment was quite good, and they were familiar with the game's controls.

Theoretically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Thank you all very much for coming here to listen to my rambling." Tilberu bowed deeply to everyone. "You've all come here, presumably because you want to return to the real world. I won't waste any more time on the small talk. To return to the real world, clearing all 100 levels is a must. One person can't do it alone, so we players must work together. Luckily, I've obtained information about the boss of the second level..."

He spoke with great enthusiasm in the center of the arena, while Asuna listened quietly with no expression on her small face.

Then she noticed someone sitting next to her.

Was she trying to pick up a girl?

This game restores the player's appearance, and since Asuna regained her looks, countless men have tried to chat her up.

She was wearing a cloak because she was so annoyed.

Of course, she doesn't want to talk to the other person unless they go too far.

But soon, a soft, girlish voice came from behind: "Excuse me... may I sit next to you?"

Asuna looked up curiously and saw a girl with long, black hair looking at her expectantly.

"Of...of course." Asuna didn't react for a moment. Why was a girl looking for her? And the girl looked quite young, maybe even a little younger than her.

"My name is Kiriko. What's yours?"

"Asuna."

"You look unhappy?" Kirito looked at Asuna with some curiosity.

“No, not at all.” Asuna’s tone softened considerably.

"Why did you come here? Do you want to go home? Or do you have something else to do?" Kirito chatted casually with Asuna.

Asuna paused for a moment before saying, "Some things always have to be done by someone."

In real life, your parents must be very worried about you, right?

"And you? Why are you here? You look younger than me." Asuna looked at the girl curiously.

"Me? I need to find the bug in this game," Kirito said very seriously.

Asuna tilted her head. A game bug? This game shouldn't have any bugs, right?

There are tens of thousands of players here; if there were any bugs, they would have been discovered long ago.

Kirito looked at Asuna with a serious expression: "No, this game definitely has a bug. I saw it with my own eyes just a month ago."

Kiriko found it incredibly absurd to think about the girl named "Yamabuki Hanajin" who managed to kill the first-floor boss using a bug.

According to Kiriko's own analysis, there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the girl herself is an official, but this possibility is unlikely.

That leaves only the second possibility: the game has a bug.

Whether it's Yamabuki Hanajin's extremely outrageous attributes or her ability to log off at will, these are things that ordinary players cannot do.

Sherlock Holmes once said that if you remove all the illogical elements, the remaining answer, however outrageous, is the truth.

"I want to find the bug in this world, and then let everyone go home together," Kirito said very seriously.

Asuna looked at Kirito, thinking, "I didn't expect you to be so kind."

At this moment, Tilberu's impassioned speech had stirred up the emotions of many people in the audience.

Many people chose to participate in this event to defeat the second-floor boss.

But even in this moment of joy and celebration, there are always a few untimely people who jump out.

"I have something to say. I think the beta testers should apologize to us ordinary players. After all, the information we have is completely different. Those beta testers have already taken over a lot of resources. I think they should reveal their identities and disclose the information from the beta test period. That would be fair."

In fact, what this person said is what most ordinary players want to say, but most people don't have the courage to say it out loud.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very tense.

Because Tilberu himself was also a beta tester.

Chapter 604 (Main Text 605) Why are there Dark Elves in the Sword Art Online world?

night.

Kiriko and Asuna sat on the steps, looking at the stars in the sky.

Despite the many unpleasant experiences during the day, these people ultimately decided to join forces to defeat the second-level boss.

Both of them had reached their hunger threshold, and their health would decrease if they didn't eat something soon.

Asuna took out a dry, hard-looking piece of bread.

"Can you really eat something like this?" Kiriko stared at Asuna with some admiration.

"Anyway, this isn't the real world, so there's no need to worry about a balanced diet. As long as we can fill our stomachs, that's enough." Asuna took a bite of bread, ouch, my teeth.

This is supposed to be a game, so why is the pain level so realistic?

Kiriko couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she took out the cream she had obtained from the previous mission, spread it on the bread, and dripped it over the bread.

"Cream? Where did you get it? I haven't seen any cream in all the missions I've done." Asuna looked at Kirito with surprise.

"I passed through a village earlier and did a quest with a friend to retrieve a cow. The villagers gave me a lot of cream as a thank you. If you want some... I can tell you about the quest." Kirito stared at Asuna.

"It's a deal!" Asuna excitedly grabbed Kirito's hand.

Isn't the purpose of human life simply to satisfy our appetites?

If you can't even eat properly, what's the point of living forever?

"It's getting late. Do you have a place to stay? Would you like to stay with me? It's good for two girls to look after each other," Asuna asked.

Kiriko hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

The two of them went to a hotel and booked a double room. Lying lazily on the bed, this was probably the third most comfortable moment of their lives.

"By the way, you said you saw a bug in this game? What kind of bug was it?" Asuna asked curiously.

She has played this game for a long time, but has never encountered any bugs.

Kiriko's expression turned very serious.

She never told anyone about this, but she believed that Asuna couldn't be a bad person.

“A month ago, I met a girl, and the two of us beat the first boss.” Kirito said with a serious expression.

Asuna's eyes widened, almost unable to believe her ears: "You mean... the two of you beat the first floor boss? How did you do that?"

"You might not believe it, but that girl didn't lose any health at all, or rather, her health kept increasing the more we attacked her. In the end, we spent several hours slowly grinding down the boss. By the way, that was the second day after the game officially started," Kirito said.

Asuna naturally knew that the first floor boss died on the second day of the game, but she never expected that the one who accomplished this feat was this seemingly soft little girl in front of her.

"That's why I said this game might have a bug. It's a pity I haven't seen that girl since then; she's probably logged off." Kiriko's expression grew increasingly serious.

"Log off? Does that mean logging off in a normal game?" Asuna's eyes widened.

“That’s right, that’s what I mean. Of course, I also have another guess in mind, which is that the girl is an insider of the game, and we can’t rule out that possibility,” Kirito pondered.

But regardless, this intelligence is already incredibly explosive.

"Alright, there's no point in thinking about it too much anyway. Just go to sleep peacefully. Tomorrow we'll go and take down the second-floor boss together." After saying that, Kiriko lay down on the soft bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Asuna moved slightly and suddenly felt that she had pressed down on something. She couldn't help but look down...

His eyes widened instantly.

"Kiriko...Kiriko, are you there?" Asuna suddenly became very panicked.

Kiriko opened her eyes groggily. What could have happened so early in the morning to make her so panicked?

"Kiriko, there's a little child in my bed!" Asuna shouted.

Kiriko tilted her head slightly: "Are you playing games with your own child?"

"Who would play video games with their own child? Besides, I'm only fourteen years old. How could I possibly have a child this big? And look at this child, he/she doesn't seem to be human." Asuna said in a panic.

Kiriko curiously leaned her face closer.

Sure enough, there was a small, brown-skinned child lying in Asuna's bed. It looked like a girl, and she was wearing a little dress.

"What's wrong with this child's ears?" Kiriko looked at the little girl's ears with some surprise.

Back then, its ears were pointed and long, and they didn't look like human ears at all; they looked more like those of a legendary elf.

But most people imagine elves to have white skin, while this child's skin is dark brown.

Kirito, a frequent gamer, immediately exclaimed the answer: "Dark Elf? Is this child an NPC? How could there be a Dark Elf in reality?"

Just as the two girls were arguing, the child groggily opened his eyes. Seeing the two girls surrounding him, he ignored them and continued to sleep with the blanket over his head.

"He looks so calm!" Asuna couldn't help but remark.

Kiriko felt as if she had seen this scene somewhere before.

"Um... are you an NPC in the game?" Asuna asked in a very soft voice.

"No, I'm a real gamer. None of that matters right now. It's only five in the morning. I'm going to sleep a little longer. Are you two going to sleep with me?" the child asked.

The two girls were at a loss for what to do.

They are both only fourteen years old this year, and neither of them has any experience in taking care of children.

Suddenly, Asuna said nervously, "This must be a game bug, right? After the first day of the game, all the players reverted to their original appearances, but this child's ears are real. Either the Dark Elves really exist in the real world, or... there's something wrong with this game."

It was a historic moment to witness a bug in this game firsthand.

Asuna was very curious about the child's ears and gently tugged at them with her fingertips.

"These ears are real, and you already know I'm a dark elf. What else do you want to ask? I'm in a bad mood when I'm sleep-deprived, so please let me get some sleep!" the child couldn't help but shout.

The two most important things in this world are eating and sleeping.

Apart from that, there's nothing else of great importance in the world.

"Um... can I hold you while we sleep?" Asuna asked.

The child opened his arms and rushed into Asuna's embrace.

Chapter 605 (Main Text, 606) My name is Ma Lei, and I'm a young man from Southern Liang.

Sure enough, taking a nap is always the most enjoyable, no matter when it is.

Asuna couldn't resist the temptation of going back to sleep.

The three of them had just gotten back into bed when Kiriko immediately sat up.

"Something's not right. What we need to discuss now is where this child came from. She's so young that she can't possibly pass the game's checks. Whether she's human or a dark elf, honestly, who are you?" Kirito was relatively calm.

Asuna cupped the child's face in her hands: "Yes, little sister, you haven't told us your name or why you're here."

Yamabuki Hanajin said quietly, "I need to correct something. I'm not a little sister today, I'm a little brother. I have a little Kunkun down there."

The expressions on Asuna and Kiriko's faces froze instantly.

How could that be? This is clearly a cute little dress, and although the other person's skin is slightly dark, they have an adorable face. How could they possibly be a boy?

"Speaking of which... why are you two lying together? Have you two evolved into something far more famous? Hmm, Kirito, looks like you know a thing or two~"
