The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 35: The first boss strategy meeting! (Please read! Please vote!)

I would rather lose to monsters than to this game!

This is Asuna's inner persistence now.

To this end, she began a crazy leveling journey alone:

Buy medicine and enter the maze area to play alone;

Go back to sell things and buy medicine, and then enter the maze area again to play alone;
Sleep no more than 3 hours a day.

I persisted in this way for several days, and my level rose rapidly, soon reaching level 10, and then approaching level 11.

During this period, the girl met Kirito unexpectedly several times.

Finally, it’s December 12nd.

The strategy meeting for the first-level boss will be held in Tolbana City.

However, this meeting is very different from the original period:

One was that the first to discover the boss room was no longer the team led by the closed beta tester "Diaberu", but the elite team of the Liberator Guild. Therefore, the one who presided over this boss strategy meeting was no longer Diaberu, but a female player named Greenseru from the Liberator Guild.

The second is that the number of participants is far more than the 40 or so people in the original timeline, but more than 60 people.

More than 12 captain-level members of the Liberator Guild who were above level took their seats, led by Li Xia and four others.

On the stage.

Grinserlu, who exuded a unique temperament that was both mature and a bit youthful, smiled and bowed in the direction of the guild members sitting below the stage.

This made a young man of only level 8, who had been hiding in the corner of the back row and disguised his body with the help of a certain prop, feel inexplicably irritated and even had a slight sense of crisis.

The young man was wearing a cloak that concealed his thin figure.

He wore a small grey hat and a pair of small glasses, which concealed his receding hairline and gloomy expression.

Overall, it is quite gentle.

And it has the same atmosphere as some office workers in the real world who work from 8 am to 8 pm.

That is a kind of decadent atmosphere that comes from giving one's light to Tiga when one is a child, and it is difficult to see the brilliant light in one's eyes after growing up.

Perhaps it won’t be long before this decadence will degenerate further and “upgrade” to being a slacker?

"Assign people with high stealth skills to keep an eye on Grimlok, Grimlok's husband. There's something wrong with this guy..."

Li Xia whispered to Andrew.

On the side, Yang Jie, Wang Teng and others who heard the sound and smelled the fishy smell came over quickly:
"Brother Xia, you are not attracted to Miss Greenseru, are you?"

The three best friends all grinned.

Xia Zhijin was a little nervous.

She had been a little nervous once before because of the blonde Asuna who was of similar age.

Now, she became nervous again because of big sister Greenseru, who had a great figure, a pretty face, and was gradually showing some heroic spirit.

The little hands tightly grasped the corner of the clothes, and the ears stood straight up.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not Boss Cao who founded the Wei Wu legacy."

Li Xia said a little unhappily.

Even though he doesn't plan to be a good guy anymore or be given the nice guy card easily, he's not so hungry that he wants everything, right?
"Brother Xia, you really care too much about Miss Greenseru..."

Yang Jie grinned.

A little expression that says "Don't make excuses, I understand everything."

"Humph, I just don't want to lose a general before I pass the level, that's all."

Li Xia glanced at a few of his close friends and sighed helplessly.

He knew how possessive Greenseru's husband was.

In the original timeline, Grimseru and Grimlok, a dual couple in the game and the real world, were very harmonious at the beginning.

only…

As time went by, my wife quickly adapted to the rhythm of this game world and became better and better. Not only did she establish the Golden Apple Guild, but she also led the guild members to quickly acquire hotels in the city after the strategy group opened up a new floor, earning the accommodation and food expenses of the players who arrived. After quickly making a profit, she generously used the more money she earned to upgrade the equipment of the guild members, so that everyone in the guild could fight monsters and level up relatively safely.

Although he is only a mid-level player, he has trained a tank member who has the potential to enter the strategy group.

He is the strongest fighter of the Golden Apple Guild. What's more interesting is that, although he has good strength, he doesn't mind selling the top-quality equipment produced by the guild to the players in the front-line strategy group!
Very aware of the overall situation!

Let many players in the strategy group know that there is such a person in logistics!
The two sides gradually formed a tacit understanding of mutual benefit!

It has been admired by many people!
But every time, she decisively rejected all advances from the opposite sex!

Have a clear sense of boundaries and a spotless loyal heart.

But it is precisely this conspicuous excellence that makes Grimlo, the husband who has never grown much and has been hiding in a corner all day relying on his wife's care, feel more and more crisis-ridden and constantly develop a sense of trance of fear and loss, fearing that his wife will leave him one day.

In the midst of day after day of drunkenness and suffering, this guy posted a bounty to a murder guild with all its members being red-named, and killed his increasingly outstanding wife.

As the guild's elite and chief steward, he has such an unreliable husband. If he doesn't do something, something similar might happen again.

'It's not wrong for everyone to have a strong possessiveness towards their significant other, but it's not good to be too obsessed with it.'

"If nothing else, if my wife can take me to the sky, I will have a very comfortable life in the SAO game world for a year or two. Just this kind of love and care, I will definitely be moved to the core, and I will smile crookedly in my dreams."

Grimlo, on the other hand, did not think about changing or improving himself, but because of his ridiculous possessiveness and the anxiety and fear of loss caused by the sense of gap and frustration, he did not hesitate to kill his gentle and virtuous wife, and called it "letting his wife live cleanly in his memory forever."

'This is absolutely insane.'

'Should I save the young woman who has fallen from grace?'

'How about finding a chance to send Grimlok to prison?'

"If all else fails, how about unplugging the network cable of Grimlok's gaming helmet from outside and creating an accident?"

'Hiss, it seems I have gone a little crazy.'

On the stage.

Miss Greenseru's speech was very exciting, and her analysis of boss intelligence was also very accurate, winning the applause and respect of the vast majority of players and even closed beta testers.

For a moment, there was continuous applause.

But it made the cloaked figure in the corner feel more and more uneasy, complicated and anxious.

In the audience.

Li Xia frowned when she received a letter from a player.

"What's wrong, Xia?"

Wang Teng, who was standing by, asked in surprise after seeing this.

Li Xia shook his head, relaxed his brows and said nothing more, but his mind was not calm at all.

Because the information shows:
The player Kirito has been in frequent contact with Klein's small group recently and seems to have gained their favor and trust.

The information was just a few sentences, but it upgraded his initial "doubt" to current "suspicion".

He suspected that this player Kirito might not be the male protagonist Kirito in the original work.

There are too many suspicious points about the other party.

Several days have passed since I heroically rescued Asuna.

These days, he had asked the stealth elites of his guild's intelligence department to take turns tracking Kirito from a distance.

Then, not only did he discover that the other person was also a stalker, he had been following Asuna not far away.

He also discovered that the other party cleverly created an encounter to contact Klein and others.

However, these are things that Mr. Tong in the original work would never do!
Let’s talk about the latter.

Even when Kirito in the original timeline reached the 28th floor, he still felt deeply guilty and self-blamed for abandoning Klein in the first place!

So he has been avoiding Klein!
It wasn't until Christmas Day, almost a year later, that I finally let go of this knot in my heart.

The question is, why has Kirito changed so much?
It's like he's a completely different person.

"So, the real Kirito was replaced by someone else at some point this month?"

"Is it a soul possession or a temporary replacement of the game character?"

"What is his purpose?"

"Do I really need to keep this kind of person like Kirito as a sharp sword to fight against Kayaba Akihiko?"
