I like traveling the most

"That's it, we can't go out for the time being."

"Really, if that's the case, then there's nothing we can do about it... Do you think I'd say that! You guy! How dare you involve Your Highness Alice in such a dangerous thing! Kill you! Kill you now!"

Kureya grabbed Kobayashi's neck and shook him desperately.

Clearly dissatisfied with his remarks.

It is true that Kobayashi and others whose connected device is not a microwave will not have their heads roasted even if they die in the game, and they can even go out at any time if they want.

But that would be such a waste.

It is a rare experience to see the scenery of another world. It would be a pity if we shrink back because we are afraid.

At the same time, Xiaolin concealed the fact that he would not die. It would be rude to the producer to simply treat this as a game. Since the producer has set up difficulties, how could they, as players, not challenge it?

His gamer soul is burning brightly.

"Alice, what do you think?"

Xiao Lin looked at the blonde girl.

Everyone present, whether it is Kurea who is still chattering or Aqua who is indifferent, the final result will only be decided by the princess with the highest status.

"I want to stay!"

"Your Highness Alice!"

"I understand, Kureya. This world is dangerous, but it is also very interesting. Look, I have only seen this scenery that is similar to the kingdom but completely different from the royal family's secret library. Although I cannot confirm it, I think this is the world our ancestors lived in.”

Alice could tell that Xiao Lin was not curious.

A long time ago, the royal family and powerful nobles have been continuously introducing the blood of powerful brave men. Naturally, those brave men were the ones sent by Aqua from the island country, and they must have left behind information about the island country.

"So...in order to learn more about my ancestors, I don't want to miss this opportunity."

"Your Highness Alice..."

"Excellent answer. As expected of Alice."

Sato Kazuma was smiling, but his smile was a bit lewd, and he probably wasn't thinking of anything good.

Kureia wanted to say something else.

But--

Alice held the female guard's hands, her big watery eyes were shy, and she whispered: "I want to create more beautiful memories with Kureya in this world, can't I..."

hiss----

"Okay! Let's create beautiful memories here! No, let's live in this world for the rest of our lives, Your Highness Alice! I will protect you!"

Kureya took a deep breath, then her eyes were bright and her face was flushed.

She's a bit conservative.

If a certain academy were to kill each other in a game, the big boss would tell them at the end: The world has collapsed. Compared with going out to suffer, they would be more comfortable living here. Then Kureya would definitely choose without hesitation. The latter - spend the rest of your life with Alice in the game.

"Then it's settled."

Darkness shook her head helplessly.

She seemed helpless because of Alice's willfulness, but Xiaolin noticed that the corners of the perverted female knight's mouth kept rising.

Sato Kazuma said curiously: "It's strange, Darkness, that you didn't stop me."

"Because there must be a lot of weird monsters in this world. If you bear the damage caused by them... how painful (and refreshing) will it be!"

"I'm very interested in wine in this world. I wonder if I can drink something more delicious than bubble wine."

"Huh huh huh..., my wish is greater than yours! That guy in the red cloak in the sky just now, don't you think he is very handsome! He said he is the final boss, right? Then I have decided, I will fight a hundred Layer, kill him with your own hands!"

"Mei, Megumin! Are you serious? But there is no magic in this world!"

"What, no magic?!"

One thinks about taking damage, one thinks about drinking, and the other thinks about using magic in a world without magic...

Then he looked at Sato Kazuma who also rolled his eyes helplessly at them.

"And you?"

"I'm very simple. Every time, Senior Xiaolin goes to other worlds to be free and unrestrained. This time I finally have such an opportunity. Of course I can't miss it!"

"You're going to die?"

"How many times do you think I've died? This game is so fun that I'm going crazy."

He chewed on a small wooden stick in a classic emoticon.

Xiaolin sighed.

There are quite a few problem children in my family.

"Okay, it's confirmed." Xiao Lin clapped his hands: "Then the most urgent thing to do now is-"

"It's about grabbing resources as quickly as possible."

A soft voice with a slight upward pitch came from behind.

Turning around, I saw two girls.

One was a weak beautiful girl with breasts that had just been confiscated by the system and made Megumin jealous beyond recognition. The other was a tall beautiful girl with a wide forehead and hanging eyes that looked a bit strong.

"……Who are you?"

"It's me!"

Although their voices were completely different, their tone and movements made Xiaolin know who they were.

Rinko and Koharu.

"How dare you let me go, how brave you are!"

"Sorry, sorry. Because it took a lot of time to gather the companions, and what happened just now... you know."

"Tsk."

Koharu smacked her lips softly, and it was obvious that what had just happened had also caused her a great shock. Then she took a closer look at Kobayashi's appearance and found that it was exactly the same as before, and she was immediately amazed.

"I didn't expect you to use your original appearance, you are really bold."

"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment."

"I'm not complimenting you!"

Perhaps in her opinion, playing virtual reality games with your original appearance is no different from surfing the Internet with real names in the old days, but there are still many such guys, such as the people behind him.

"What's going on, these handsome men and beautiful women."

Koharu also saw Aqua and others.

It is no exaggeration to say that if these people were allowed to participate in a beauty pageant, it would not be surprising for anyone to win first place.

Kobayashi clapped his hands at his puzzled companions.

"By the way, let me introduce you. These two are No-head and Unhappy. When I was lost, they helped me a lot."

"Who is Unhappy!"

Even though she didn't mention any names, she still identified them.

"I'm Themis."

"Aren't you Koharu?"

"You have to call me by my ID in the game!"

"Isn't it a bit exaggerated to use the name of the goddess of justice?"

"What do you care about me!"

Koharu glared at Kobayashi angrily.

On the other side, Rinko was also having friendly exchanges with Aqua and the others. Unlike Koharu, Rinko's ID is Rinko, and she is also a member of the real-name system for surfing the Internet. It's hard to imagine what it would be like if a male character was named Rinko before.

"Let's stop chatting here."

Koharu crossed her arms and said to Kobayashi: "I just heard your conversation, and I think you have realized it. In order to survive in this world, everyone has to work hard to strengthen themselves. And online role-playing games are a battle for resources between players. The more limited money, props and experience points provided by the system, the stronger they will become."

She was right.

It's better to say that this is the consensus of all role-playing games, and only in this way can it provoke player opposition, promote game consumption, and promote the plot.

"So, you came to tell us specifically, do you have any plans?"

"No."

"Oh?"

"It was Rinko. She saw you and asked me to remind you. If this game really becomes a game where you will die if your health reaches zero, as that red-caped jerk GM said. There is no doubt that the wild is the most dangerous. If you are not sure, it is okay to stay in the town... I say, what is that expression on your face?"

"Nothing. I thought you were here to invite us to team up, but now it seems that it is not the case."

"I don't want to! Bringing so many burdens is troublesome no matter how you think about it."

"...I am a little sad to be regarded as a burden."

It is obvious from just a few sentences that Xiaochun is one of the thousand closed beta players. She knows the rapid upgrade methods and resource points in the early stage of the game.

If it is a lone wolf player, it doesn't matter, but now her companion Rinko is also a newcomer. It is undoubtedly very hard to protect her friends while catching up with the first echelon. So at this time, how could she take the initiative to bring more burdens? Especially when there are ten people in total in Kobayashi.

You can say she is selfish, but it is human nature.

Darkness suppressed Huihui who wanted to get angry. The little girl hated to hear the words that she was regarded as a burden the most.

"Xiaochun, does that mean you are a closed beta player?"

"Call me Themis!... Yes, I am a closed beta player. What, do you want to ask if I know the information about the game? I know. It seems that you are not stupid. You know that it will be a waste of time to squeeze in the area around the starting town to level up, and the resources will be exhausted soon, so what you have to do now is to take advantage of the next village as a base, which is the best choice."

She seemed very satisfied with Xiaolin's quick thinking.

When these people were fighting for resources in the starting town, the closed beta players ran to the next town first and easily leveled up. When they rushed to the next town, the closed beta players had already swept away all the useful things and went to the next town.

One step faster, every step faster.

This is the advantage of closed beta players.

"You want information that can help you get to the next town quickly and safely? Sure. Although I can't take you with me, I can still tell you the information. But you should understand that there is no free lunch in the world, so..."

"No thanks."

"...Eh?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but no thanks. Exploring this world is also a kind of fun. And...I don't think my companions will be inferior to the closed beta players."

Kobayashi's mouth was filled with a confident smile.

Behind him, Sato Kazuma, Aqua, Darkness and others, ten...nine handsome men and beautiful women, stood on his left and right sides in a position that made Kobayashi stand out, showing confident and fearless smiles at the same time.

How can these people pose so well?

For some reason, Koharu saw the figure of a strong man in them, the figure of a super player standing at the top of all games...No, it's a stronger existence than that!

"Ah, is that so."

In the end, she could only say this sentence.

Damn, why did he act like he lost.

Koharu stared at the man in front of him.

Xiao Lin didn't know why she was angry, but he still said: "Xiao Chun, you should know the information before the sixth floor, after all, the players in the closed beta period could only reach the sixth floor at most."

"That's right. Have you changed your mind? Sure, as long as you pay, I can tell you the information."

"No, that's not necessary."

"Then beg me, as long as you beg me, I will tell you the information."

"This is..."

"Or I can take you with me!"

For some reason, Xiao Chun's request became lower and lower, and in the end she even begged Xiao Lin.

Is there anything wrong with this girl's head?

Kobayashi pushed the impatient girl's shoulder away: "I don't need intelligence. And... I advise you not to trust the intelligence during the closed beta period too much."

"Ha, I thought you were going to say something. Of course I know what you said, and I also took the task to test it, and it was no different from the closed beta period. Besides, the advantage of closed beta players is intelligence. If you don't use intelligence, you will be different from ordinary players-"

"Then-"

Kobayashi interrupted her a little forcefully, and then pointed to the dim sky. There seemed to be bright red on the yellow light cover.

"...Did something like that happen during the closed beta period?"

"————?!!!"

Koharu's expression became extremely ugly.

She also suddenly realized that not all intelligence was reliable. It is true that the process of accepting the task is exactly the same as that of the closed beta period, but it cannot be guaranteed that all intelligence is the same. It is very likely a trap to paralyze careless players, and they may be hit hard at any time.

But blindly being afraid will only make you stagnate. If you want to survive in this game, you will eventually have to face danger.

Koharu clenched his fists.

"...Rinko, let's go."

"Okay, okay."

Hearing the call of her companions, the brainless girl who was still chatting with Aqua and others waved goodbye to them. Kobayashi also smiled and said goodbye to her, but Rinko blushed and turned around to quickly catch up with her companions.

I thought it would end here, but he didn't expect to receive an email when he turned around.

The sender was Koharu.

After opening it, there was a map and a route on it.

...Huh?

Is it that good deeds are rewarded? I didn't ask the other party to share information, but I still got this information in the end.

No, wait.

Is she really kind?

Could it be that she was entangled after hearing what I said, and didn't know whether to believe the information during the closed beta period, so she gave it to me to make myself entangled as well?

Not good, the more I think about it, the more I think it's possible.

Kobayashi's mind even had Koharu's malicious smirk.

"Kobayashi, what's wrong?"

"...Nothing, I just got some useful information about this game."

"That's a good thing, why are you still tangling?"

Aqua was curious.

Ryuko said venomously: "It must be Kobayashi's self-esteem that made him unable to accept this favor, after all, it was obtained by selling his body. I have to say that Kobayashi is really terrible. He captured the favor of two beautiful girls in just a few hours. Did you see Rinko's shy expression at the end?"

"Now that you mention it... Indeed, even Alice was bewitched in just a week."

"That's because my brother is very charming."

"Kobayashi, you are not planning to open a harem here, are you? That is absolutely not allowed! If that's the case, I, I... Ha... Ha... Ha!"

These guys are getting more and more serious.
