In terms of time, Tang Hao had not left Aincrad for too long, only two months. But when he thought about what he had experienced during this period, it did feel like a long time had passed. Moreover, Nasalic's full-scale invasion of Aincrad was only half a year away. Now that half of the time limit was almost up, it was time for him to go back and take a look.
With this in mind, Tang Hao agreed to Asuna's request. After all, he had nothing important to do for the time being.
Then, with a swoosh, Tang Hao's vision blurred, and he found himself in a strange place.
After treating transmigration as an essential form of transportation in his daily life, Tang Hao had become more and more accustomed to it. At first, he would still feel a little nauseous and palpitating, but now, he basically did not have any adverse reactions. Perhaps it was like getting carsick, he got used to it after a while.
The scenery in front of him was quite good. Surrounded by green mountains, lakes and waterfalls could be seen not far away. It was really a good place for a leisurely vacation. The only fly in the ointment was that …
"F * ck! What the hell is this? "
Not long after Tang Hao opened his eyes, he saw two huge pig-people charging at him with clubs in their hands … They looked like pigs, but they walked upright like humans. The clubs in their hands looked like they were made of stone. They were big and thick, and there were bloodstains on them. They looked fierce and ferocious.
Tang Hao glanced at them … Level 55!
After coming to this world, Tang Hao knew that he had merged with the game Veda that he had left behind in this world. With just a thought, his game interface appeared in front of him. In the past two months, Kayaba Akihiko seemed to have developed the ability to automatically farm monsters. His character level had also risen to 40, 5 levels higher than when he left.
However, the Pigmen in front of him were Level 55. There was a 15 level suppression.
"Asuna, save me!"
Tang Hao had no sense of shame and shouted at the first moment.
"Don't panic, I'm coming!"
As soon as Tang Hao shouted, Asuna's figure flashed like a fairy. Her clothes also changed into her usual knight's combat suit. As she swung her rapier, a silver light flashed, and a white light enveloped the two Pigmen in an instant. Then, their bodies were frozen.
Although they were not completely frozen into ice sculptures, a thick layer of frost had appeared on the surface of their bodies, seriously affecting their movements.
Asuna did not go forward to finish them off. Instead, she quickly turned around and reached out her hand to Tang Hao. "Master, the monsters here are very strong. Let us leave while they are frozen."
"Oh … okay." Tang Hao did not have time to think about it. He held Asuna's hand and quickly left the area.
During the time when he was pretending to be Asuna's girlfriend, although they did not cross the line in front of their family and relatives, they still occasionally made intimate moves, such as hugging or holding hands. So now that he was holding Asuna's hand, Tang Hao did not feel anything special. It was as if he was already used to it.
But he still felt a little strange.
"Why did you choose a place like this to travel to?"
When a member of the group traveled to a known world, because they did not have a stand-in to help them deal with the affairs of this world, they would appear at the same place when they returned. Therefore, they would usually choose a place with fewer people and was safe to avoid accidents. This was clearly stated in the group announcement.
But the place that Asuna chose was not exactly safe.
"This is my leveling area," Asuna replied.
"Leveling area? What level are you now? "
“58。”
"Oh." Tang Hao nodded. It was normal for a level 58 player to level up in a level 55 monster area. Although the experience gain was not the highest, the level suppression could reduce a lot of risks, and the overall benefit could be said to be the most stable. Moreover, even with a level suppression of three levels, less experienced players would still choose to form parties to grind. After all, the level suppression would often be overcome by ordinary players' mistakes. Moreover, as players reached higher levels, their chances of defeating monsters of the same level in a one-on-one battle would decrease. If they were not careful and encountered an Elite monster, they would only have a slim chance of survival.
But something was not right.
Asuna was not an ordinary player. She and Kirito were known as the two peerless beauties of SAO. Whether it was in terms of level, skill, or strength, she and Kirito were the best in SAO. Not to mention, she was now an Elf and had fused with an Ice Mage. Ordinary players would not dare to solo monsters of the same level, but she did not have such a problem. Even if she faced an elite monster by herself, she had a high chance of winning. It was just two ordinary pig demons, so there was no need for her to run away.
Moreover, if the pig demons here were so strong that even she did not dare to fight them alone, why would she deliberately come here to level up?
Tang Hao was puzzled and looked at her face. Asuna's face was slightly red, and she explained, "The guild leader is here, right? Your level is too low, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to take care of you, so … for safety's sake …"
"Oh, I see." Tang Hao suddenly understood, "Indeed, safety first."
After a while, the two of them arrived at the safe zone. Currently, most of the players in the game were still around level 50, and these were the relatively high-level players. Therefore, it was very difficult to encounter other players in the level-55 leveling area.
Tang Hao looked around, and there were only him and Asuna here.
However, it wasn't the first time they were alone together, so they didn't have any special feelings. Since he came to SAO, Tang Hao couldn't help but care about his character. He asked: "My character seems to have leveled up a few times. Did Mao Chang develop automatic monster farming?"
"Yeah, about a month ago."
"A month … Isn't that a little too slow?"
"It's intentional. Mao Chang said that Elven class advancement is the most rewarding at level 40, and all the attributes will have ideal growth. But after level 40, the growth rate of attributes will decrease. Most players can only class advance at level 45 or even level 50 due to their lack of skills, and they only have around 90% of the perfect attributes. But for you, Mao Chang hopes that you can class advance at level 40. "
"I see."
After hearing Asuna's words, Tang Hao suddenly understood that his character had probably reached level 40 a long time ago. It was just that he was slacking in the FGO world at that time, and when he came back, it was already Chinese New Year. That's why Asuna did not mention it.
"So, is this the reason why you asked me to come here this time?"
"You … you can say that." Asuna blushed and looked away without batting an eyelid.
Tang Hao didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Asuna was shy more often. Sure enough, it was because she was pretending to be his girlfriend. The awkwardness still hasn't completely disappeared?
While Tang Hao was thinking, he received a message from another player.
It was from Kirito.
[Leader, I just heard from Kayaba Akihiko that your character has been transferred, is that you?]
[It's me, I'm back.]
When he replied to this sentence, Tang Hao felt that it was very domineering, as if a god had returned to the beginner's village to bully noobs … But thinking about it carefully, Asuna was already level 58, Kirito would only be higher, and he was only level 40. It seemed like he was the noobs here.
Opening the guild message, sure enough, Kirito was level 60.
Except for Kirito and Asuna, the other players in the guild were all level 50 and above, and most of them had completed their class advancement as Elves. As the leader, Kirito was the worst.
Then, Kirito replied.
[Great, where are you now? Do you want me to pick you up?]
[Don't bother, I'm with Asuna.]
[Oh, leader, you came back together with Asuna. How about this, we'll meet in the guild later, everyone misses you.]
[Okay, we'll be there soon.]
While Tang Hao was exchanging messages with Kirito, Asuna was also watching. After the two finished, Asuna immediately said, "Then let's go back to the guild now."
"Okay."
With the teleportation circle, returning to the guild base on the 10th floor wouldn't be too troublesome, it only took less than five minutes. However, during this time, Tang Hao's mood was a bit complicated.
Mainly about Kirito and Asuna …
Although in the message exchange just now, Kirito seemed to be the same as before, but now that he was with Asuna, Tang Ritian felt like he was poaching his girlfriend. Although pretending to be Asuna's girlfriend was fake, from another perspective, if Asuna was Tang Ritian's girlfriend, and a man asked Asuna to pretend to be his girlfriend for a few days, Tang Ritian would never agree.
Although Kirito and Asuna didn't seem to be in a relationship, Tang Ritian still felt a little guilty.
Hmm, I'll explain it to Kirito when I see him later, it's better not to have any conflicts.
While thinking so, Tang Hao unknowingly returned to the guild base.
Looking up, there were several figures standing at the entrance of the guild base, one of them was wearing a black trench coat, it was Kirito.
And beside him …
Huh? Why are there so many girls?
There were three girls standing beside Kirito, one of them was a girl with black hair and a shy face, it was Sachi. The other one had short pink hair and a big chest. Based on his memory of Sword God's Realm, Tang Hao judged that this girl should be Blacksmith Lizbet, who also liked Kirito in the story of Sword God's Realm.
The last one was a little girl with two ponytails, she seemed to be only 12 or 13 years old, and on her shoulder stood a young dragon.
Without a doubt, this should be Xili.
The three girls, Sachi, Lizbet, and Xili, were all surrounding Kirito at this moment.
Wait!
