I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

Finn nodded in response, then looked at Burt.

Burt turned his head away immediately, but his eyes drifted towards Finn.

It seems to be saying, "Hurry up and let me go too!"

"For that matter, Bert, please help Grace prepare for the expedition."

Finn smiled brightly, a smile as innocent as a teenager's.

"Tsk."

"Okay, I get it. It's just another job for me to run errands."

Bert let out an unabashed "tsk" but he also knew that the expedition was related to the development of his clan, so he had to swallow his unhappiness.

While waiting for the expedition, vent your anger on those monsters.

"Okay, girls, let's pack up and get ready to go."

Livilia stood up, raised her wand, and tapped Loki's head lightly.

After a while, Loki began to snore and sleep like some kind of animal.

"Oh, let's go to the dungeon!"

"It's not like you want to upgrade, why are you so excited?"

"That's more comfortable than staying in the clan."

Tiona ran around happily.

"When Ai Si reaches level 6, the success rate of our expedition will surely increase greatly!"

……

……

It was the second day when the four members of Loki's clan entered the dungeon and headed towards the 38th level.

Rumble——! ! !

The blinding white beam of light penetrated the huge skeleton-shaped Floor Master in front of Asuna, slowly corroding it.

“Waaaaaaaaaaak!!!”

The floor master, made entirely of giant skeletons, let out a piercing wail.

In the area of ​​his spine, a huge bright purple magic stone slowly emerged.

The rocks above kept falling, and it seemed that they had penetrated more than one floor.

Because several monsters on different floors had fallen from the big hole above their heads and died.

"Ah, it took a little time."

Asuna wiped the sweat from her forehead. The previous attack had used up all the magic power that formed the purple light band behind her.

This is how we achieve the effect of instant kill.

"Boom!"

A huge magic stone several people tall fell from mid-air to the ground with a "bang". Amidst the rubble and dust, it emitted its own purple light.

Asuna looked up and made sure that no more rocks or monsters would fall, then she moved in front of the huge magic stone.

With a "puff!", the beloved sword in his hand pierced into the magic stone with a light touch.

The originally smooth sword body suddenly began to flow with purple light.

Asuna waved her left hand in the air, and saw that her half-finished SAO system panel was being improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is it because the quality of the floor master's magic stone is better than that of ordinary monsters?"

Asuna brushed her long chestnut hair, which had turned gray due to dust, and quickly browsed the new items added to the system panel.

Then, she fixed her eyes and murmured:

"Unexpectedly..."

Chapter 14 Hestia must work hard!

In front of Asuna, the magic stone several people tall gradually dimmed.

A stream of crystal purple light flowed from the blade of her beloved sword and merged into the palm of Asuna's hand.

Asuna's eyes quickly swept across the increasingly detailed SAO system panel, and found that it only restored many of the functions in SAO.

Personal data, friend list, map, warehouse.

There is no skill bar, and you can't add points through leveling up.

However, it is worth mentioning that Asuna's personal data is not based on SAO's level data.

Instead, it is based on the adventurer level of Orario.

The specific values ​​are not expressed in detail using numbers.

Instead, it is displayed as ABCD, etc.

If she wants to upgrade or update the data, she still needs her own Hestia to help her update it.

The friend list is blank.

All the friend information in SAO was cleared.

Asuna was still wondering if she could talk to her friends across the world.

This body of hers is a real body.

So what happens to the body I have lying in the hospital?

Mom, Dad and my brother must be worried, right?

If cross-border communication is possible through the friend column, then Asuna can also learn this information from her friends.

Unfortunately, it can't be done.

On the white sword, the originally bright purple light became extremely dim.

Then he glanced at the two progress bars that never moved.

"Is it because of the floor owner?"

Asuna looked in surprise at the two progress bars that suddenly jumped forward.

The overall dark red progress bar has advanced to three-quarters of the way.

Judging from the color, it doesn't look like something safe.

And the light blue progress bar finally reached the halfway point.

Is it because the floor owner's magic stone is of high quality?

Asuna pulled her beloved sword out of the magic stone, swung it in the air a few times, leaving a trail of white starlight, and then put it back into the scabbard.

Changes to the system panel have stopped.

It is exactly the same as the SAO panel that has been with me for nearly three years.

They even cut corners.

The skill bar and point-adding functions have been deleted.

"Crack!"

As her beloved sword was pulled away, cracks suddenly appeared on the magic stone in front of Asuna.

Following a crisp collision sound, the originally tall and crystal magic stone was left with only a dull "amethyst" on the ground.

Asuna bent down slightly and picked up a piece.

Finger tap.

[High-quality magic stone that has lost its magic power. 】

The familiar item information bar also appears.

"I wonder if I can store the magic power in these magic stones again."

Asuna tapped a few times in the air and stored all the magic stone fragments under her feet in the warehouse.

If it were possible to infuse magic power back into these magic stone fragments.

When I use powerful sword skills in the future, maybe I can use the magic power in these magic stones instead.

Moreover, even if these magic stones cannot be used as power banks, Asuna can still sell them to the guild.

For them, as long as it is a magic stone, they will accept it.

Besides, my magic stone just lost its magic power. Doesn't that mean it is no longer the floor master's magic stone?

Doesn’t the owner of the 38th floor have any dignity?

Asuna brushed the dust off her cloak, picked up her hair, and found that her long hair was covered with dust without her knowing when.

"Ugh."

She sighed softly, feeling helpless.

Even though he had put on his hood during the battle, it was still blown away by the hurricane caused by the floor master's attack.

Now my originally chestnut-colored long hair is dirty and I have to find a place to take a shower.

Asuna clicked on the map that had just appeared next to the system panel.

A gray patch.

Only the birthplace of the master of this floor where he was and the route he had walked before were illuminated.

The rest of the place is gray and you can only fill in the map through your own exploration.

"Forget it, let's go down and fix it first."

Asuna stretched out her hand and waved her long hair, trying to get rid of as much dust as possible.

The next level after the floor master is a safe floor, which is also a rare resting place for adventurers.

Take Goliath for example. Below its floors, adventurers even built a simple town.

Although there are monsters, they will not actively attack adventurers like other classes.

This rule applies to all floor owners.

It’s like, you finally defeated the final boss, and the next level won’t give you any trouble, so you can take a good rest.

However, the adventurers can only build such a town after completing the first floor, and they are powerless to do anything after that.

Although Orario has many high-level adventurers, the number is far less than that of low-level adventurers.

The town was built specifically for high-level adventurers, and the effort and reward were totally disproportionate.

Moreover, when transporting supplies to those towns in the deep layers, there is a possibility of encountering monster attacks, resulting in the loss of both people and money.

Therefore, in the dungeon, the only town is built only on the eighteenth level.

As long as Goliath has not been resurrected, the adventurers can go to the Eighteenth Level to rest.

Asuna raised her head and glanced at the floor above. After confirming that the dungeon had begun to repair itself, she looked around.

Then, walk to the next floor.

"I hope we won't run into a high-level adventurer team."

Asuna put her hood back on.

The dust on the equipment and cloaks cannot follow them back to the warehouse, it is simply an automatic cleaning function.

And Asuna had to find a place to wash.

Not to mention that she had been a girl for seventeen years for no apparent reason, Asuna's strict mother alone could have forced Asuna to correct all of her bad habits.

Therefore, under the dual influence of family factors and personal factors...

Ah, what a sad seventeen years.

And just as Asuna was heading to the safe floor, the 39th floor.
