Time travel at the same time: Is the golden finger actually me?

Rock, Kirito and the others left here in a matter of seconds.

At night, Airey Church remained silent even after someone left.

Even Kibaou, who had just yelled for beta players to share information, just stood alone and leaned against the corner with his legs crossed, motionless.

This is not the first time that someone has confidently gone out to kill monsters at night...but how many of them can come back from the night?

No, no one has seen it yet.

Monsters are clearly more suited to the night than players, and are more proficient at hunting at night.

The period of roaring, screaming, and wailing has long passed, and they have begun to walk towards numbness.

Kibaou took the risk of being hacked to death by the big tree guard, and yelled here, blaming the closed beta players, not for any great goal, but actually just to get a good position and sleep well at night.

Just for this corner.

Kibaou pressed his face against the dilapidated wall. The feeling of being supported made him subconsciously curl up and nestle here.

As for getting information, leveling up and saving the world...

Don't be kidding... It's impossible for anyone to survive in this rotten world...

What's more, on the first day of the death game, the information had already spread among the players.

The drifting cemetery in the starting place contains a golden bow, golden seeds, and the ashes known as the most powerful ashes during the closed beta period, Homeless Knight Ogre.

But knowing what to do, Kibaou thought of the poisonous pool in the drifting cemetery and the huge chariot that crushed flesh and blood, and his heart trembled again.

If he hadn't turned back quickly, he might have died there.

What's more, they currently don't have the Holy Grail Bottle and Calling Bell that beta players call them, so even if they get the golden seeds and ashes, it will be useless.

Thinking of this, Kibaou closed his eyes again.

In this world, you can still hang out for a day.

…

Hey! Wait! Kirito hurriedly called out to Rock.

You're not going to the Jinlin Cave in the north...

There is a huge troll to the west of Airey Church, a big tree guards the door to the east, and the south is the direction they came from.

If you want to level up, you can only go to the caves and graveyards in the north, or play soldier attack with Grek soldiers in the forest at night.

but……

During the closed beta period, players had the Holy Grail Bottle, which could be used to restore health and mana, and the Soul-Calling Bell, which could summon ashes to help fend off the BOSS... But now there is nothing. I don't recommend you rush to the graveyard. Kirito wanted to persuade Rock. Look back.

This is indeed a troublesome point...

Rock also nodded, it was really hurtful to lose these things.

The Holy Grail bottle is okay, and every faded person in the magic circle has one, which means there are still ways to get it.

But except for the witch Lani, Rock had no idea how to obtain the Soul-Calling Bell.

There is also the spirit horse Thoret. Losing this cute little pony is the worst thing.

Rock couldn't even go to the corrupt land of Galede to get the Meteorite Staff, which was regarded as an artifact in the early stage.

Right. Kirito breathed a sigh of relief, It's better to go back with me first. We can fight the Grek soldiers together during the day tomorrow to earn runes.

I can take you to level up then.

Runes are not only the money of the border area, but also the experience of upgrading the faded ones.

Kirito assessed his current strength. The limit was to be able to take one more person with him during the day.

You shouldn't get as many runes during the day as you do at night, right? Rock asked rhetorically.

At night, the number of monsters that receive the gift of the golden tree will increase. Their eyes will glow with golden light under the same appearance. By killing them, you can get five times the runes of normal monsters!

But... there is a reason why the profits are greater at night. The junction is more dangerous at night. Even with my strength, I can only protect myself at night.

Kirito was a little hesitant. He didn't want to watch the friend he just met die.

Logically speaking, he should not even care about Rock. Upgrading alone and maximizing interests is the normal path.

Because the profit from killing monsters in this game is only given to the last blow.

This mechanism can easily lead to conflicts among temporarily formed teams.

It would be great if you can protect yourself. After all, even I don't want to take three people with me at the same time. Rock pointed behind Kirito.

Three?

What are the other two?

Kirito turned around subconsciously, drew out his weapons with both hands at the same time, and slashed backwards!

Klein??

It's me! It's me! Klein, dressed as a warrior, waved his hand hurriedly to indicate that he was one of his own.

He was startled by Kirito's light-speed sword draw.

Familiar? Rock asked.

Well... I met him on the first day. Kirito lowered his head.

On the first day, he also taught Klein how to operate, but the two soon learned that the game of life and death had begun and they could not escape from the world.

Klein wanted to find his guild mates, but Kirito couldn't bring in so many newcomers at the same time.

So the two could only temporarily part ways.

Where is your guildmate? Kirito took back his weapon and looked at the other person curiously: Could this be...?

No, no, no! Klein waved his hand hurriedly, She followed you two out just like me.

As for my companions... they are all dead and were crushed by chariots in the Drifting Cemetery. Klein's words were filled with sadness and a hint of fear.

Elden's Circle seems not to have processed the R-rated graphics.

If a friend is crushed, he is crushed alive.

The flesh foam even splashed into Klein's eyes, leaving his memory of that day only a scarlet color.

……Feel sorry.

Kirito didn't know what to say.

Klein didn't want the atmosphere to get so bad because of him, so he quickly changed the subject: Oops! I almost forgot! The person who came with me is a super beautiful girl, haha, how lucky...

He gasped for air, and tears seemed to come out.

It's a bit difficult to expect a sad person to make a grandiose tone.

But Rock and Kirito were not so disrespectful, and they looked at the other person cooperatively: she was wearing a stargazer's robe, and she used a cloak to cover her eyes as much as possible. appearance.

Asuna... she whispered.

This name...is it a girl?

Kirito shrank his head subconsciously, lifted up the cloth strip on the swordsman's uniform, covered his face, and then quietly looked at Rock.

After Asuna introduced her name, she silently took off her cloak and looked at Rock.

She heard Roark's words at the Islay church.

Please, I want to team up with you. She bowed and said, but still held the stargazing stick in her hand.

Rock looked at Asuna. He didn't understand. Klein caught up with him because he knew Kirito. What about Asuna?

In the open beta, the degree of freedom of the magic ring has increased by a large level.

You can even steal other people's equipment and steal other people's things.

This situation, to put it bluntly... is not very friendly to a weak person with a pretty face.

Good looks are a drawback here.

It stands to reason that such people should be more wary of others.

Kirito seemed to see what Rock was thinking: Maybe it's because you two are in the same situation? They're both special models!

Special modeling? Rock gestured with his fingers between the two of them.

Special modeling refers to modeling that is difficult for players to reproduce simply by pinching their faces.

But the players here are all their original appearance, there is no modeling.

Kirito probably means that you two are very good-looking. Klein, a game otaku, immediately understood.

I see……

It seems that my charm has impressed you.

Luo Ke nodded seriously.

No... Asuna retorted softly.

With a superior family, she can actually see more things.

Asuna can roughly guess what the future players will be like.

For example, thieves have appeared in the current player group. This group of people are afraid of fighting and want to make a living by stealing other people's runes.

She has good observation skills and has seen several such people.

Some people may even not mind killing other players anymore.

Because you can also get runes by killing players, and you can even explode equipment from the corpse.

On the third day, a player in the team was suspected of being killed.

Maybe it was an accidental injury... Anyway, the player is dead, and Rune doesn't know who took it away.

Because killing a rookie player who has no operation is even easier than killing a Grek soldier, and the initial equipment dropped by the player is even better.

In this case, there is no safe zone, and novice players who dare not go out to explore and can only cower next to the blessing are very likely to be robbed of resources by powerful players in the later stage.

It's okay to survive by turning in runes. If someone with outstanding looks like her is still weak without the protection of the system...

At that time, I'm afraid I can only write a piece of advice saying It's time to offer my buttocks.

…

Asuna looked at Rock.

The other person has excellent looks, and may even be more popular than her to some extent. His chosen profession is still a useless person, and he only wears a piece of cloth. At first glance, he looks very perverted.

To be chased by a bear, you don't need to run faster than the bear, you just need to run faster than your companions.

Asuna felt that if she had Rock as a teammate, she might not be so conspicuous, and Rock's appearance might make it easier to attract perverts.

Of course...the most important thing is:

Asuna felt that this guy was strong enough. Even though the opponent's situation was as bad as hers, he was still able to reach Airei Church first without any equipment and occupy a good position.

Rock's action of throwing the relic stone to attract the attention of the tree guard just now made Asuna even more enlightened.

It's a very simple operation, but I never thought of it.

Her profession is that of a stargazer, or Master. This technique of attracting the attention of monsters is something Asuna finds very useful to her.

It was firmly established in her mind that Rock was a closed beta player, and he should be able to learn many similar skills.

She wants to become stronger and survive in the borderland.

...I don't want to die, and I don't want to live like that. Asuna tightened her grip on the stargazing stick.

Don't you want to live like that... Rock nodded in approval: Although this reason is not as real as being moved by my charm, it's still okay.

Then let's go! Kill a few Grek soldiers first.

Wait, Rock—

Kirito stretched out his hand and was about to say a few words of persuasion, but his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because Rock transformed and was instantly equipped with the armor and sword of the Wandering Knight profession.

Kirito's movements slowly stopped, and his hand even subconsciously pressed on the weapon.

Even Asuna's body trembled violently after seeing this.

Eh? Where did you get this equipment? Aren't you a useless person?

Only Klein still didn't understand the situation.

Oh? Are you talking about this?

Rock looked back at the three of them and said with a smile:

Of course it's because I killed a knight professional player.

I remember it was on the third day...

At that time, he had not yet entered the gray mist space.

Rock's voice fell to the ground, and the breathing of the three people seemed to have stopped.

The night at the junction is a little quieter now.
