Evolution of a Girl

Although it didn't take long, Asuna had already figured it out. As long as she followed the instructors' instructions, the movements would become easy and it would also be easier to correct her posture.

NPCs, unlike players, can be truly exhausted. But perhaps it was the costume's bonus or something else, but Asuna, throughout her training, felt not only no discomfort but a steady, comfortable feeling, as if all she had to do was follow orders and everything would go smoothly.

After training, it was time for dinner. Players didn't need to eat lunch, or even anything at all, but NPCs did get hungry. After becoming an NPC, Asuna also felt hungry for the first time in a long time.

"Training is really fun, Lala." While eating, the girl next to Asuna suddenly spoke to her.

Lala...ah, yes, that's my pseudonym!

"Do you like training?" Asuna asked.

"Well, it's very comfortable. Think about it carefully, my village was attacked by goblins, and I was sold here to continue living. Isn't it good?" The NPC is not unable to distinguish right from wrong, it is just easily misled, but it still has basic "three views".

"By the way, my name is Nana." The NPC girl named Nana introduced herself and then asked, "Lala, how about you?"

"My...my village was hit by a drought, and I was taken out by slave traders."

Asuna spoke of the identity the slave trader had arranged for her.

In fact, this is just a random background. On the desert map, there are many places facing crises due to drought. There are NPC villages disappearing. It can be said that this is a process of self-evolution. The most prominent one is the dead without evidence.

"It turns out that Lala is the same as me." Nana sighed.

"Huh?" Asuna thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. Her background was the same as Nana's, both of them had "broken families".

"Lala must be very grateful to these people. It's just that they are a little scary..." Nana muttered.

"But they treated us as slaves and even branded us like this..." Asuna felt that Nana's values were a little distorted.

"But if it weren't for them, we would have died long ago. Besides, those lords are not as good as them. And they are kind enough to teach us and let us learn the skills of fighting..."

They train "us" to make "us" killers!

Asuna sighed in her heart.

However, the first half of Nana's words made Asuna notice the difference between Aincrad and Earth. Many areas of this place were slavery and feudalism. If Nana was not an NPC but a real native, this kind of reaction would probably be possible, or even very likely.

"Be careful when you act next time..." But you still have to pay attention to this point.

"Do they want us to be soldiers? Once we become soldiers, can we leave here?" Nana was still immersed in her own world.

However, her words did make the anxious Asuna feel relieved.

"Yes, although I can't escape now, it doesn't mean I'm trapped here. They've gathered the NPCs here for training, which means... as long as I pass their test, I'm afraid I can leave!"

However, if Asuna surrendered immediately without any resistance and obeyed his orders, Laughing Coffin would probably think there was something wrong, so he should slowly obey her and then highlight his strengths, so that he should be able to leave sooner.

"Lala, you are very good during training." Nana spoke.

"Eh? Really?" Asuna didn't notice at all.

"Yes, I noticed that. The instructors were nodding in approval!"

Asuna didn't notice this at all, because at that time, Asuna's memory was gradually recovering, so she didn't pay attention to the outside world.

"But maybe it's a good thing..."

Asuna thought to herself.

The first day of training was not very intense and nothing special happened.

However, Asuna also felt tired for the first time in a long time.

"Well--!"

However, when Asuna was about to rest, she did not fall asleep. Instead, her body was electrocuted again, and a pop-up window appeared in front of Asuna, which read "There are unfinished daily tasks and I can't fall asleep."

"Daily tasks not completed yet?"

Asuna was surprised for a moment, and then found that she had an extra task panel.

"It's not my mission. This panel hasn't appeared before... Could it have appeared at the same time as my status change?" Thinking of the feeling she had just felt from the slave outfit, Asuna was probably sure that this was related to her own clothes.

Because it was the first day, many of the tasks were gray, but some tasks, such as "Complete daily training", were checked, indicating that they had been completed.

But in the last line, there is a task of "reciting 'I am a slave of the Smiling Coffin' 1000 times before going to bed" that is not completed.

"I'm...Laughing Coffin's...slave? Hmm? That feels weird."

Asuna tried to read it aloud softly, saying that she was a slave of the Murder Guild. This feeling was quite strange, and she seemed to be able to feel a strange pulse passing through her clothes...

Chapter 521 Training

"I am... the slave of the Laughing Coffin... and obeying... my master's... orders... is... the meaning of my existence..."

"Lala? Lala?"

"Well……!"

Asuna woke up from her dream, feeling dry mouth.

"Good morning, Nana. Sorry to have you wake me up again."

"It's nothing. Lala, you slept soundly~" Nana smiled and didn't care.

After getting out of bed, Asuna went to wash up.

It has been more than half a month since Asuna came to this training camp, and she has gradually adapted to life here.

After getting up and taking care of personal hygiene every morning, it is time for recitation, and there is also an obedience ceremony every Monday.

The first time, Asuna felt that the people at Laughing Coffin were crazy for letting the NPC recite such meaningless content. Asuna could only suppress her embarrassment and finish her lines.

The second time, Asuna got used to it. Although she found it ridiculous, she no longer felt embarrassed.

And today is the third time.

"My name is Lala. I am a slave sworn to obey the Laughing Coffin. I swear to always follow my master's orders. My master's orders are the meaning of my existence..."

After reciting her words in front of everyone, Asuna walked down from the makeshift altar.

"Lala, your recitation is becoming more and more proficient~" Asuna just came down and heard Nana praising herself.

"well enough."

Asuna smiled.

Of course, she was becoming more and more proficient, because every night before going to bed, she would recite these lines in her mind a thousand times. Although reading them out loud might have been a little embarrassing before, Asuna had actually memorized these awkward lines by heart, even by heart.

Of course, Asuna had some difficulty in reading aloud at first, but she herself had never expected that her recitation would improve so much.

After the morning ceremony, it was time for classes.

The classes every morning are cultural classes.

The one who came to teach them was a woman. She taught the NPCs some dances, performances, and killing techniques in some special sports.

NPCs are very flexible, so even this kind of teaching is completely acceptable.

On the contrary, Asuna always feels shy when she attends class every day.

But what made Asuna feel even more exhausted was that whenever she started training, her consciousness would enter a trance state, and past memories always seemed to awaken from her heart at this time.

Memories of the past sometimes overlap and merge with memories of the present.

After class, it's time to work.

Of course, this wasn't work, it was called "obedience training." The lessons varied depending on the day, but Asuna's duties were essentially the same. The lessons coincided with the daily Laughing Coffin delivery of supplies. The delivery location was quite far from the living quarters, at the other end, so Asuna had to pull a carriage to deliver all the supplies.

Being treated like an animal is truly unbearable.

But after going back and forth a few times, Asuna got used to it.

He was harnessed to a carriage, and then, with his legs raised high, the carriage was pulled to his destination.

Asuna's movement of pulling the cart was very strange, but also very pleasing to the eye. The people at Laughing Coffin were surprised at first, but later they thought it was very good.

This is actually part of Asuna's revived memory.

This is the posture you should have when pulling a cart.

But after arriving at the destination today, Asuna found that there was no cargo, but instead a few people were walking over there.

The leader is PoH.

"Hey, woman, come here." PoH also noticed Asuna, "Oh, it's Flash. She looks like a domestic animal, hahahaha!"

The other person seems to be in a good mood.

"Owner."

Asuna hated the other person, but when she heard the other person's order, she walked over involuntarily. Before he could think about it, Asuna spoke subconsciously.

She was a little surprised herself. Asuna had previously been very resistant to him, but now she called him "Master" with incredible fluency.

Although Asuna felt a little confused, another feeling of happiness and joy dispelled her doubts and made her stop thinking.

"What's your name?"

PoH asked.

"My name is Lara, my master." Asuna answered respectfully with her head lowered.

"It's okay, it's just acting," Asuna consoled herself. "When we can destroy the Laughing Coffin, that will be your day of reckoning!"

"Not bad." PoH was observing Asuna's condition at this time.

NPCs can't see their own status, but that doesn't mean others can't see it. As a red-name guild, PoH naturally has countless ways to detect enemy data, ensuring they have an advantage in PK.

"Trance, obedience, brainwashing level 1..."

The special conditions that Asuna couldn't see were all unilaterally transparent.

"Go back."

"Yes, Master."

Asuna didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she was far away from the other person.

"We've almost gathered enough intelligence. We know the Laughing Coffin's secret base, so we should have found it. Let's find a way to contact Kiriko or the captain first..."

After all, they had already been here for half a month, and Asuna felt that the time was ripe, but unfortunately, there was no way to leave.

But she thought about it again and felt that half a month was only three to five days in the real world. Perhaps such a short time was not enough.

"Forget it. There's no way to leave anyway. Let's talk about it when there's a chance."

After all, even if I left, it might alert the enemy.

Asuna thought that it would be most important for her to get away from PoH as soon as possible to reduce the other party's vigilance.

But Asuna never expected that the other party would come out again during the afternoon training.

And the other party was also pulling a player at this time.

The player was restrained by special props, struggling and making grunting sounds.

However, Asuna was not interested in this, because the person who was tied up was also a red-named player.

"You are my property, bred for the purpose of killing. After you are qualified, I will choose the most outstanding one among you and let her truly join us, Laughing Casket."

POH looked around.

But facing this red-named devil who was intimidating without even getting angry, everyone was terrified.

"I see. In other words, as long as I perform well enough to be considered as having completed the training, I'm afraid I can leave then!"

Asuna's eyes suddenly lit up.

Before, she had only some guesses in this regard, but her guesses were just guesses after all. Now this is the promise of the leader himself.

The value is different.

"My skills are pretty good. I should be able to leave here in two or three months at most..." Asuna thought.

"And I'm giving you a chance today—kill him."

POH had someone bring the red-named player to the middle.

"Boss! Please forgive me, I shouldn't have embezzled the equipment!"

The red-named player wailed.

Asuna began to understand that this tied-up guy must have stolen the guild's equipment.

This kind of thing is very common among players, and there are always many morally corrupt people on the Internet.
