"Damn, it's time to eat, right?"
"Yeah, I feel like we've been killing monsters for a long time. If we don't eat, our stamina will run out."
Tang Hao had just killed a level 24 Elite monster when he heard Kirito and Asuna urging him to eat. He looked at them curiously. "What's wrong with you two? You always talk back to each other, but now you're working together. Didn't you already eat two hours ago? "
"Humans are iron, and food is steel. You still have to eat."
"Yes, yes, yes. Besides, we're helping you to surround the monsters, so it's quite taxing on our stamina. The monsters here are all higher level than us. You don't want any accidents, right?"
The two of them spoke one after another as if they had discussed it beforehand. Tang Hao glanced at them and seemed to understand something. "Don't tell me that you insist on following me to the eighth level to explore because you see me as a long-term meal ticket?"
"Why would I?" Asuna avoided Tang Hao's gaze and pretended to look at the scenery in the distance. "I really want to share your burden and learn some skills from you. As for eating … it's not a big deal."
"Me too." Kirito quickly nodded. "Leveling up is the most important thing. Eating is secondary."
Tang Hao nodded. "Oh, then let's continue killing monsters."
"Huh?!" The two were stunned. This … they were just being polite.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just as the two of them were trying to come up with a new excuse, Tang Hao had already thrown a hamburger at each of them and said disdainfully, "Do you think you can fool me with such petty tricks? Can't you just admit it honestly? But after you finish eating, you have to work hard. "
The two of them quickly took the hamburgers and nodded in agreement.
In fact, in SAO, there were many ways to replenish stamina. In addition to the basic recovery and rest, there were also various kinds of stamina potions, which could be obtained by killing monsters or completing quests. Both Asuna and Kirito had some in their backpacks, but how to put it …
Perhaps because this game was too realistic, people tended to rely on food to replenish stamina. If they didn't have that resource, it would be fine. But now that they had a cook like Tang Hao, both Asuna and Kirito chose to ignore other ways to replenish stamina. After all, compared to stamina potions, food could replenish stamina and satisfy cravings at the same time!
Tang Hao could more or less understand their dependence on this aspect, so he didn't deduct their meals. Fortunately, the food providers, Ichiqi Hina and Yukina Yukina, were young rich women, and even Kato Megumi was from a middle-class family, so they didn't lack money. If their teammates were poorer, the three of them would probably have to eat together every day.
While the two ate hamburgers to replenish stamina, Tang Hao stopped killing monsters and took out his phone to check his quest progress.
310/1000。
That was the current progress. From the beginning of the boss fight until now, he only gained 110 points. In fact, in terms of efficiency alone, it wasn't slow. After all, in his current situation, killing ordinary monsters wouldn't increase his quest progress, only elite monsters and bosses would help. But combined with the quest time, it was really too slow.
He only had 15 days to complete the quest in this game world. In the first three days, because Kaguya helped him, he was treated as an exception. In other words, his highest efficiency for the first two days was 110, and that was with the help of Kirito and Asuna, leaving the last hit for him. With this efficiency, it was almost impossible for him to complete the last 690 points in the remaining ten days.
This is a bit difficult. How can I increase my efficiency?
Tang Hao couldn't help but frown. In general, SAO's map mode was too much. If he could directly go to a higher floor and kill monsters that were much higher than him, he should be able to increase his quest progress.
Da Bendan: If I still can't complete this quest in the end, what will happen to me?
Thinking of the worst possibility, Tang Hao couldn't help but ask in the chatroom.
17-year-old girl: If that happens, the chatroom will be disbanded, and you will be left in that world forever. Or before the chatroom disbanded, you can give up the quest and return to the real world, continuing to be an ordinary person.
Da Bendan: No matter what happens, it's not what I want.
17-year-old girl: Then you'll have to work harder.
Da Bendan: Yeah.
Tang Hao sighed. Maybe there was another way, and that was to give up on this world and let Megumi Kato or someone else go to the real world to recruit the tenth member. But it was also not safe. After all, the quest for the last member was obviously much harder than the previous quests, and no one could guarantee that Megumi Kato and the others would be able to recruit the tenth member within the time limit.
And the most important thing was … the pressure!
At this moment, Tang Hao really felt the pressure of carrying the entire chatroom on his shoulders. If he failed, the chatroom would be disbanded, and everyone would lose all memories of the chatroom. Such a heavy pressure, even he felt a little out of breath, how could the others be indifferent?
Da Bendan: Since it's already started, let me carry it until the end!
17-year-old girl: … Good luck.
It's rare that this guy also knows how to encourage others.
Tang Hao smiled and put away his phone.
"Holy shit, why do you have a phone?" Kirito and Asuna watched Tang Hao's actions with a puzzled look on their faces. In fact, the two of them wanted to ask this question for a long time.
"Let's talk about it later, you guys won't understand right now anyway." Tang Hao smiled and didn't explain. He then looked at a place not far away. There was a huge cave there, and according to his past experience, it should be the boss' room.
Tang Hao's face sank and said sternly, "I'm going there to take a look, what about you guys?"
"Just the three of us?" Kirito's face changed.
"Yeah."
"That's too dangerous," Asuna said worriedly, "If it's just the three of us, how are we going to divide the monsters and the boss?"
"You guys hold the monsters, I'll handle the boss alone. Although it's a little dangerous, with our skills, it's not impossible. Of course, if things really don't work out, didn't we obtain the Escape Crystal before? We can just use it to escape. "
Tang Hao decided to take a gamble. With the huge damage from One Blade Asura, he would be able to reach the top floor in the shortest time possible. With Kirito and Asuna's skills, even if their levels were not as high as his, they would still be able to keep the mobs occupied. As for him, he would have to fight the boss one on one.
Kirito and Asuna looked at him quietly. Although both of them didn't quite agree with this idea, seeing the determination on Tang Hao's face, they didn't have the heart to refuse and were about to agree …
Ding-dong!
Suddenly, Kirito's email rang.
Although everyone had blocked the email system, they could choose to open it to their friends.
Kirito didn't have many friends. In addition to Tang Hao, Asuna, and Klein, Kirito immediately clicked accept, and then his face suddenly changed.
[Kirito, something big happened! Strange skeleton soldiers suddenly appeared in the Crimson Moon Forest. Many players have been killed, you guys need to come quickly!]
