The other side.

While the players of the Raiders gathered in the fancy restaurant and ate and drank thoroughly, one player stayed away from the crowd.

Listening to the laughter that kept coming from the restaurant, Asuna sat on a bench outside the restaurant, holding a black loaf that anyone could buy for only 1 klore, and ate it silently, not knowing what she was thinking.

No, what Asuna was thinking about was actually quite simple.

"I didn't expect to see players laughing so heartfelt in this game———— you should be thinking about such a thing, right?"

A voice brought Asuna's thoughts out, causing Asuna to freeze as she prepared to bite down on the black bread, and then raised her head dumbly and looked at the source of the sound.

I saw that at the entrance of the restaurant, a teenager walked out without knowing when.

Moreover, as he walked, the other party threw something in the direction of Asuna.

Seeing the black shadow flying towards her face, Asuna almost subconsciously reached out and took it into her hand.

"It's hot...!"

The next moment, the high temperature from her hand immediately made Asuna let out an exclamation.

Upon closer inspection, what was thrown into Asuna's hand was a white bread that was exuding aroma and heat.

"At least you should eat this, right?"

Luo Zhen smiled mischievously, completely without the consciousness of doing something reckless, which made Asuna a little angry.

For some reason, Luo Zhen is like a natural talent for angering Asuna, and he can always influence Asuna's emotions.

Originally, Asuna was not such a person who got angry so easily, and she could even be called very cold.

Because she has always followed the wishes of her parents, whether at school or at home, she is strict with herself, Asuna's character is actually quite calm and rational, and there is no obedience and rebellion against other children.

However, because of this, Asuna has a small shortcoming.

That is, the self-esteem is a little strong.

When I was in school, I didn't want to lose my grades to others.

When you're at home, you don't want to let your upbringing lose to others.

When you're out there, you don't want to let others lose your evaluation.

Even in the rest of the way, Asuna doesn't want to see herself lose to others, otherwise she will usher in failure, and failure will become a useless person, which is the philosophy that her parents instilled in her.

However, in the face of Luo Zhen, Asuna had a feeling of losing to this guy in all aspects.

In addition, the other party seems to be able to see through Asuna's thoughts for some reason, which makes Asuna feel even more unwilling.

In this case, Luo Zhen only needs to provoke a little, and Asuna can't do it if she doesn't get angry.

And if you don't die, Luo Zhen is best at provocation.

"Let me guess why you don't go in." Luo Zhen said a little deliberately: "It shouldn't be because I'm a girl, and it's almost all about stinky men, but because I'm not here to love others, but to attack the boss", right? ”

Totally hit.

This made Asuna unable to remain silent at last.

"Don't say it, you seem to know me very well." Asuna lowered her voice and said very coldly, "What are you doing here again?" Shouldn't you be here to care about your teammates? ”

Regarding Asuna's statement, Luo Zhen actually nodded and admitted.

"I'm really not here to care about teammates I don't know well, but to fulfill a little commitment to others."

Rogen shrugged his shoulders and looked at Asuna.

More accurately, I would say that I looked at the weapon around Asuna's waist.

"That's the Iron Rapier, right?" Luo Zhen recognized it at a glance and said, "Among the standard weapons that can be bought in the weapon shop on this floor, this should be the most advanced one in the rapier category, but after all, it is still a big road commodity that can be bought in the store, and the performance is not much higher." ”

Hearing this, Asuna almost didn't think about it, so she replied.

"So what?" Asuna whispered, "Weapons or something are just props, let alone in this world, they are all made up of data and archives, and they can't be trusted at all, so as long as they can be used, right?" ”

For Asuna, who doesn't want to lose to this world, this is indeed a very suitable idea for her.

Pity...

"Props are also good and bad, and even props, as long as they are cared for, they will also produce feelings, who cares what they are made of?" Luo Zhen pursed his lips and said, "Besides, everything that can be used should be used so that you can continue to live, you shouldn't even understand this, right?" ”

Asuna was speechless.

Looking at Asuna like this, Luo Zhen laughed, immediately opened the main menu, found the item list, and after dragging for a while in the list of props presented, he clicked on a certain prop and materialized it.

"Here you go."

Luo Zhen let the materialized object fall into Asuna's hands with the attitude and posture as if he had just thrown out the bread.

"This is..."

This time, Asuna froze.

In his hand was a thin sword in its sheath.

Luo Zhen said so.

"This is one of the few drops that can be obtained on Tier 1."

Although there are various ways to obtain all the weapons and armor that exist in the SAO, they can be broadly divided into three main categories.

One: Drops from monsters and items from chests.

2: Rewards obtained after completing tasks.

Three: A work made by a player or an NPC's blacksmith, leather craftsman, etc., using materials and props.

There is basically not much difference in performance between these three types of equipment.

At least, for now, the difference hasn't materialized.

When Aingrant is raided to more floors and the production players begin to develop, the skill proficiency of blacksmiths and craftsmen will increase rapidly, so that there are skilled people who can craft items beyond the current level, right?

However, at the moment, there are no production talents among the players, so there is not much difference between the drops, the reward items, and the crafts made by the NPC blacksmiths and craftsmen on the same floor.

Of course, this refers to weapons and armor of the same class.

In terms of performance, there are still some fairly high-performance weapons and armor in the first layer of Al Grande.

For example, Luo Zhen's "Thousand Layer Robe" is a drop from the small boss's body, and the quality is enough to rank among the top of all current armor, so that the defense of a mere cloth can match the heavy armor, Luo Zhen's "Sword of Fortitude" is also one of the few high-performance weapons in the first layer, but it is just a reward that can be obtained from the mission.

And in the first layer, if you mention the rapier-type weapons, it is undoubtedly the most powerful rapier.

"Its name is ———— Wind Flower Sword."

That's how Luo Zhen mentioned the name of the weapon.
