"The meaning of existence doesn't seem to be very important."
Looking at Zheng Shuanglong in surprise, Asada Shino said in surprise: "For Zheng, the meaning of this game is just entertainment.
Since it is just entertainment, What’s the meaning?”
"Yes, I said it at the beginning of the game.
This has the meaning of existence.
Whether it is Kayaba Akihiko or this game, it is for you to forge the foundation of God.
This is the only meaning."
After looking at it, Take a walk in this familiar yet unfamiliar main street and enjoy the pastoral and rural atmosphere.
Houses with white walls and red roofs were lined up side by side.
Zheng Shuanglong said to Asada Shino, Claire, Fei, Lisha, and Tio: "Okay, just Fei and Tio come with me.
Everyone should leave at once.
On the front line, Asuna will really go crazy.
If there are not enough people, it will be very problematic to defeat the boss."
After saying that, Zheng Shuanglong lowered his voice and muttered: "She was such a cute girl at the beginning, but she turned into a ghost of the strategy.
It's really too bad.
What went wrong?
The girl's home Family, how can it be so violent?"
"Well, even if Zheng says so, I still have no interest in the so-called boss strategy."
Shino Asada, who has no interest in defeating the boss at all, frowned and said.
"However, since Zheng said so, we should go back and not attack Fei and Tio.
Zheng" gave Zheng Shuanglong a serious look, and Claire warned seriously.
"I wish you a prosperous military career," Lixia said softly, bowing slightly to Zheng Shuanglong.
"Don't worry, get ready to leave.
There's no problem at all.
Even if I were, I wouldn't do anything to an immature little loli."
Zheng Shuanglong said angrily, waving his hand gently.
At this time, an email arrived.
Zheng Shuanglong looked at the sender and said with a relaxed smile: "Well, Argo's information has arrived.
This time the target of the Titan's Hand is a little girl named Silica. "?"
"It's very interesting, let's go, Fei, Tio."
After finishing browsing, Zheng Shuanglong took Fei and Tio's little hands and left quickly.
Watching Zheng Shuanglong leave, Asada Shino said relaxedly: "Is there no problem?
Let Tio, Fei and Zheng Shuanglong be alone."
"There's no problem.
If it were Zheng, I believe he wouldn't take action against Fei and Tio's avatars.
After all, Zheng didn't even take action against Asuna's avatars, right?"
Claire smiled sweetly. , said confidently.
Looking at Claire helplessly, Asada Shino said weakly: "I'm not worried that Zheng will take action against Tio and Fei.
I have confidence in Zheng.
However, what I am worried about is that Tio and Fei will take action against Zheng.
Ah, it’s not like you don’t know how much they miss Zheng.”
"Well, there is still no problem.
I think even if Zheng exits the game directly, Tio and Fei will not succeed."
Claire drew a circle in the air with her finger cutely, and Claire said confidently: "Although Zheng is a lolita control, except for those legal lolita, Zheng will not take action against those young girls.
That bottom line has always been adhered to in Zheng's heart and has never been broken.

Otherwise, Lixia would not do this.
It took a while to get it” "Well, let's go back quickly.
If we stay away from the front line for too long, Sister Asuna will be really angry.
There is an area boss that needs to be conquered today."
Lisha blushed when the topic turned to herself. , lowered his head and changed the subject softly.
"Yes, yes, Asuna is the master of strategy.
If it delays her strategy for the boss, it will really be a big problem.
Well, speaking of Zheng's target this time, the Titan's Hand seems to be targeting the recently famous person.
"Dragon user, is it okay to let this Silica come into contact with Zheng?
She seems to be a very cute little loli."
After dealing with Lisha, Shino Asada thought of some information about Silica.
Worried.
"An Xin, even if it is a really cute little loli, there is no problem.
Our Zheng, do we still need such a person?"
Claire walked into the transfer door with a smile and said softly He said: "Let's go.
If we go back really late, Asuna will come and kill us, and she will be so angry that she won't prepare meals for everyone."
"Oh, coming right away."
Shino Asada gave up on being more serious and quickly walked into the transfer door.
"Please Bina, don't leave me alone."
The two lines of tears that slid down Silica's cheeks continued to drip onto the large feathers on the ground, and finally turned into particles of light and scattered in all directions.
That light blue feather is a relic left by the familiar "Bina" who was her only friend and partner for a long time.
A few minutes ago, Bina died protecting Silica.
It received a fatal blow from the monster's weapon, and after letting out a mournful cry, it scattered like broken ice.
All that is left is a long tail feather that sways happily whenever his name is called.
Silica was once a rare "tamer" in Aincrad.
Now the familiar she had proven to be a beast tamer was gone.
She was no longer a trainer.
There is no profession in SAO.
Similarly, animal tamer is not a profession but a common name.
Monsters that usually actively attack during battles will occasionally show favor to players.
If you can seize this opportunity and tame it successfully by giving it food, etc., the monster will become a precious "familiar" that can provide the player with various kinds of help.
And everyone will call these lucky players Tamers with admiration and envy.
Of course, not every monster can become a familiar.
It's possible that there are only a small number of small animal monsters.
Even now that we have broken through more than fifty floors, the conditions for the occurrence of the Beast Tamer incident have not yet been completely determined.
The only condition that is certain is "If too many monsters of this type are killed, the incident will never happen." .
Just thinking about it, I feel that these conditions are too harsh.
Even if you try to repeatedly contact monsters that may become familiars, those monsters will usually attack on their own initiative, and there is no way to avoid a fight.
In other words, if you want to become a beast tamer, you must keep in contact with the target monster, and as long as there is no triggering event, you must escape without saying a word.
It is not difficult to imagine how complicated this task is.
Therefore, those who can become animal trainers are all face fighters, super red hands, Ooti, well, it seems that something strange has come out.
Even Lisha, the little red hand of the Void Brigade, has tried it hundreds of times without success.
How lucky is it to get a familiar?
In any case, every beast tamer is extremely lucky.
Right.

And Silica, who has a winged dragon familiar named "Bina", is naturally also a very lucky girl.
Without any relevant knowledge, she went to the lower level on a whim and wandered aimlessly in the forest.
The monster I encountered for the first time did not attack, but instead took the initiative to approach.
What Silica threw to it was a bag of nuts that she bought the day before, which happened to be the monster's favorite food.
In this way, the race name was "Feather Dragon", the small flying dragon whose whole body was covered with light blue soft fur and whose tail was replaced by two large tail feathers.
It was originally a special monster that rarely appeared and became Silica's familiar. , and Silica seems to be the first person to successfully tame it.
Therefore, when Silica returned to the main street with the flying dragon lying on her shoulders, it immediately caused a big topic.
Among the middle and lower tiers, the Dragon Messenger Silica has quite a reputation.
Even the members of the strategy team know that there is a Dragon Messenger named Silica among the middle tier players.
Although the direct combat power of familiar monsters is not very high, they have several special abilities.
For example, the enemy-searching ability can detect the approach of monsters, the healing ability can help the owner restore a small amount of health, etc.
No matter what, each ability is valuable and can make daily hunting easier.
However, compared to these, the most important thing is that the familiar can improve the player's survival probability and relieve the tired and nervous heart of the player who lives in this death game to a certain extent.
After all, familiars are more reliable and trustworthy than companions or guild comrades.
They will not betray or disagree for various reasons.
They will always follow the player until they clear the level or die. .
Likewise, the presence of the familiar, Pina, made Silica feel reassured and warm.
The familiar's AI program is not set so high.
Of course speaking is impossible, and the level of understanding commands is not high enough.
There are only about ten kinds at most.
However, for Silica, who was imprisoned by this game and the closed world of SAO when she was only twelve years old, and was almost overwhelmed by uneasiness and loneliness, the redemption provided by Bina is simply indescribable.
It can be said that after getting Bina as a partner, Silica's "adventure", that is, "surviving" in this world, finally began.
Relying on the increase in strength and peace of mind brought by Bina, Silica slowly and smoothly took the first step, accumulating experience and honing her skills as a dagger user, and gradually became a considerable player among intermediate players.
Famous higher level players.
Of course, her level is far below that of the top swordsmen fighting on the front lines.
In fact, the "strategy group", which only accounts for a few hundred people out of the 7,000 players, basically works on the front line and does not go to the middle and lower levels most of the time.
Therefore, from a certain perspective, members of the strategy team are rarer beings than beast tamers, and there is almost no chance of seeing them in person.
Therefore, Silica's reputation among the intermediate players formed by most people is the same as being promoted to an idol player.
Coupled with the overwhelming scarcity of female players due to their age, it didn’t take long for “Dragon Messenger Silica” to become a well-known figure with many admirers.
There is an endless stream of teams and guilds that want Silica to join.
It is natural for Silica, who is only thirteen years old, to feel overwhelmed by this situation.
But in the end, because of this arrogance, he suffered a mistake that could not be undone no matter how much he regretted it.
About two weeks ago, Silica joined a group that invited her to venture into the vast forest area on the north side of the 35th floor, commonly known as the "Lost Forest."
Of course, the front line now is the fifty-fifth floor far above, which has already been conquered.
However, the top swordsmen are basically not interested in anything other than conquering the maze area, so secondary mazes like the "Lost Forest" are left alone, and therefore become a target suitable for intermediate players.
The six-person team that Silica joined gathered a variety of experts.
They had been fighting and digging for treasure chests since the morning, earning a lot of money and props.
The adventure ended because the surroundings were gradually dyed with the colors of the sunset, and everyone's recovery potions were almost exhausted.
When they started to prepare to return to the main street area, another female player equipped with a slender gun said to Silica as if to contain her: "As for the distribution of props after returning, because you already have the lizard to help with recovery, so There should be no need to reply to you with crystals."
Silica, who was touched by the reverse scale, immediately counterattacked: "You are the one who doesn't go to the front line at all and only hides behind the team and wanders around.
You have no use for the crystal."
After that, there was a back-and-forth verbal exchange, and the captain's shield swordsman's arbitration was only a drop in the bucket.
Silica, who was furious, finally said these words: "I don't want the props, and I will never team up with you again.
Besides, there are so many teams that want me to join."
Although the captain tried his best to persuade her to stay together, and asked her to at least move together before leaving the forest and reaching the town, Silica, who turned a deaf ear to this, immediately separated from the five people, ran towards the side road, and left full of anger.

"Lost Forest" is no joke.
For the top players, there is no risk at all.
However, for mid-level players, the forest maze called "Lost Forest" is not in vain.
If you are a team of six mid-level players, venturing in the "Lost Forest", as long as you are careful, there is not much risk.
However, if you are alone, even if you have Bina's familiar, Xi Lika, too reluctant.
Especially if you use the transfer crystal in the lost forest, you cannot return to the town and will only be randomly sent to a certain area of the forest.
This difficulty is too high.
Silica, who was walking alone, ran non-stop, trying to break through the lost forest.
However, running on the winding forest path while avoiding the roots of giant trees is already a very tiring thing.
Coupled with the obstacles from monsters that appear from time to time, Silica understands that it is necessary to break through the lost forest alone. is more difficult than I imagined.
Fighting, constant fighting, constant escaping, constantly avoiding those monsters, coupled with the characteristics of the lost forest itself, made even Silica, who had the map, lost, so that the sun set and the night was still dark.
Get out of the lost forest.
Silica was tired.
Silica was anxious, but the Lost Forest did not give any preferential treatment because of Silica's tiredness and anxiety, and even brought disaster to Silica.
At least, for Silica, this is an absolutely hopeless disaster
