After officially settling down on the 22nd floor, Eight-cloud Ink sent an email to all the members of the Moonlit Black Cats, including Xili, inviting them over as guests.
After receiving Eight-cloud Ink's invitation, everyone quickly rushed over.
"Wow! This place is so beautiful! "
"I didn't expect Brother Mo to find such a good place!"
"Yakumo, you've made me want to buy a house here …"
"You? Keita, you should work hard for a few more decades, hahaha! "
From afar, Eight-cloud Ink could hear the laughter of the Moonlit Black Cats.
Standing at the entrance of Yakumo, Eight-cloud Ink saw everyone walking along the forest path made of wooden planks. He smiled and said, "This place is really good, but in order to settle down here, I spent almost all of my savings!"
"That expensive??" Keita's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Having become friends with Eight-cloud Ink and trading partners, Keita was very clear about how rich Eight-cloud Ink was!
At least compared to the average wealth of the current players, Eight-cloud Ink could definitely leave the second richest person in the dust.
Xili, who also knew about Eight-cloud Ink's wealth, also stared at Eight-cloud Ink with wide eyes. Then, her attention was attracted by the beautiful Yakumo.
"Welcome!"
When Eight-cloud Ink led everyone into the courtyard, the three maids who were already standing there bowed.
"Oh, oh, oh! NPC maids! Maids!! "
Keita's face was full of envy. If not for the fact that he couldn't beat Eight-cloud Ink, he would have pounced on them.
Eight-cloud Ink looked at the eager eyes of the Moonlit Black Cats and said, "Actually, according to the equipment I've traded to you, you should have enough money to buy a guild house after a few more trades."
"A guild house …"
"A guild house that belongs to us …"
Everyone in the Moonlit Black Cats showed a look of longing.
Eight-cloud Ink looked at Xili and stroked her head. She said to the shy girl, "How are you, Xili? Have you been well?"
Xili nodded heavily. Keita and the others took good care of Xili. At the same time, she also had a female friend like Xin. Xili was very happy during this time.
"I say, Yakumo, if we don't take good care of Silica, will you punish us?" Souta looked at Eight-cloud Ink and Silica mockingly.
"Do you want to die again?"
"Huh?! Don't say such scary lines so calmly, okay? If you die in SAO, you die for real! "
"Hahaha …"
Joyous laughter echoed in the air above Yakunju.
I am the dividing line of the guest in the house = = =
To Eight-cloud Ink's surprise, Xin actually learned a culinary life skill that very few players would learn.
However, after seeing the strange look in Xin's eyes, Eight-cloud Ink had some ideas about why Xin did this.
Before meeting Eight-cloud Ink, although Xin was taken care of by Keita and the others, she was still asked to go to the frontline to fight monsters from time to time. Xin, who was timid by nature, was naturally extremely afraid of this, so she didn't have the heart to learn these life skills.
After meeting Yakumo Ink, the situation of Keita's Moonlit Black Cats changed drastically. Not only could they obtain the best equipment in the game from Yakumo Ink, but they also had Silica, an extremely powerful support-type player, joining them.
Moonlit Black Cats' strength was almost on par with the Clearers.
In this case, there was no need for Xin to go to the frontline to fight, and she was arranged by Keita and the others to take care of the guild's chores. Out of gratitude for the care she received, and at the same time, she felt a strong sense of security for the first time, and with the addition of Xili, a female friend, Xin wanted to do something for everyone.
It was impossible for her to go back to the frontline again, so Xin went to learn a lot of skills, including Potion Making, Cooking, and so on.
When Eight-cloud Ink ordered the NPC maid to prepare dinner, Xin offered to help. Although they were happy with Xin's change, Eight-cloud Ink still refused Xin's request.
What a joke, Xin was still a guest, how could they let a guest cook in their own house?
Moreover, although the NPC maid's cooking skill wasn't the best, it was still much better than Xin, who had just learned it not long ago, so the dishes she made were naturally delicious.
After everyone enjoyed their meal, Xin and Xili brought their pets Pina and Haku to play around in the vicinity, while the rest of the Moonlit Black Cats gathered together to play some card games.
As for Keita, he went for a walk with Eight-cloud Ink by the lakeside.
"You said that the army suffered heavy losses on the 25th Floor?"
Eight-cloud Ink wasn't surprised by the news Keita brought to them.
Keita nodded with a serious expression. "Yes, maybe because you've been taking down several Bosses in a row recently, it gave people the illusion that the Boss wasn't that strong. After discovering the 25th Floor's Boss, the army didn't report it to the Clearers, but chose to take it down on their own."
"But they didn't expect that the 25th Floor's Boss wasn't something they could handle?" Eight-cloud Ink chuckled softly. Eight-cloud Ink didn't have a good impression of the army, a guild that extorted low-level players under the banner of "liberating all players".
"The Boss isn't just strong, it's ridiculously strong." Keita shook his head and said, "The relative difficulty of the 25th Floor's Boss and the 24th Floor's Boss is far greater than the difference in difficulty between the previous Bosses on two adjacent floors. It feels like the Boss has been deliberately strengthened …"
Having said that, Keita turned his head and looked at Eight-cloud Ink, who was as beautiful as a fairy under the moonlight. "Do you think that the 25th Floor's Boss is special?"
Eight-cloud Ink pondered for a while and said, "That should be the case. When we reach the 50th Floor, we should pay attention to the difficulty of the Boss on the 50th Floor. If the difficulty of the 50th Floor's Boss is too high, then we can be sure that the difficulty of the Boss on every 25th Floor will be greatly increased."
"Yakumo, why don't you make a move? When we find the Boss's Room, I'll tell you immediately! "
Keita's words weren't without reason. Recently, the Clearers have noticed the increase in the strength of the Moonlit Black Cats.
Heathcliff, the leader of the Knights of the Blood Oath, even invited Keita's team to join the Clearers.
"Oh?" Eight-cloud Ink smiled. "Keita, you're now part of the Clearers, aren't you? By telling me about the Boss's Room, isn't it obvious that you want me to monopolize the Boss's Reward? Is this really good for the Clearers? "
The relationship between Eight-cloud Ink and the Clearers is strictly a competitive relationship.
Keita smiled bitterly and said, "But the Boss is really too strong. If you don't make a move, who knows how many people will die …"
After pondering for a while, Eight-cloud Ink raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the night sky.
"Well, when you find the Boss's Room, tell me. But since we're friends, I won't make it difficult for you. You can inform the Clearers that I'll participate in this Boss Raid with them! "
"Really!?"
Keita's eyes widened with ecstasy.
"That's great!"
