Start with delicious food

……

The next day.

Early in the morning. Qin Hao and Asuna took Yui back to the starting town on the first level of Aincrad through teleportation.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar street scene around her, Asuna couldn't help but say.

"It's been a long time since I've been here."

"I still remember that it was here that Kayaba Akihiko announced the reality that SAO had become a death game..."

Asuna said, shaking her head. Get those bad memories out of your mind.

Qin Hao gently patted Asuna's shoulder. "Don't worry Asuna, the game will be cleared soon."

"If you want to leave the game now, I have a way..."

Before Qin Hao finished speaking, Asuna stretched out a finger and pointed at Qin Hao's mouth.

"Let nature take its course. In fact, I quite like this kind of life."

"After all, here, Qin Hao, you belong entirely to me."

After saying that, Asuna took the initiative to come over and gently pecked Qin Hao on the face.

Then Asuna smiled and knelt down. "Xiao Yui, look around and see if there are any buildings that you remember."

Yui looked around for a moment, then shook her head.

"do not know……"

Asuna nodded. "That's right...that's right. After all, this place is quite big."

"Then let's go to the Central Market first."

……

Look at the NPCs setting up stalls on both sides of the road. Asuna asked.

"Qin Hao, do you know how many players are still here?"

Qin Hao touched his chin.

"Well... there are more than 8,000 people alive in the game so far. Except for those who have restarted leveling due to death penalties."

"Based on the information I heard from the information dealer when I was buying ingredients. So far, there are probably about 500 people who don't have the courage to step out of the starting town."

"There are obviously resurrection tools, but there are still people who dare not leave the starting town."

"But I heard that most of these people have chosen to become warehouse managers. So renting a house in the town to maintain food and clothing should not be a problem..."

As he was talking, Qin Hao suddenly noticed a milk tea shop opened by a player not far ahead.

Qin Hao pulled Asuna and Yui over.

"Welcome, do you need anything?" A female store manager wearing a nun's uniform and round-rimmed glasses asked with a smile.

After looking at the menu, Qin Hao turned back to look at Asuna and Yui.

"Asuna, Yui. What do you want?"

"I want an ice cream cone. I want strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. What do you want, Yui?" Asuna knelt down and asked.

"Mom and I want the same thing." Yui replied.

Qin Hao nodded. Then he looked at the store manager.

"Then a cup of snow-topped coffee with ice, and then two strawberry-vanilla chocolate cones. And two cups of hot bubble milk tea to take away."

"Okay, please wait a moment..."

At this moment, a little boy not far away who looked about the same age as Yui ran over panting.

"No, it's not good! Teacher Sasha! Kain and Mina were blocked in a dead end by the army!"

Hearing this, the milk tea shop owner known as Sasha was stunned for a moment, then dropped the tools in his hands and shouted anxiously.

"Silver! Where are Kain and Mina?"

"Just, in the alley three intersections ahead..."

Upon hearing this, Sasha suddenly became anxious. He took out the weapon from the inventory and held it in his hand, then bowed to Qin Hao and his party.

"I'm really sorry, everyone, I have something urgent to deal with here. Your money will be returned to you."

Qin Hao waved his hand. "You'd better take it. It won't be too late to help us prepare it later."

"I just have some free time, so I thought I'd help you clean up the trash."

Asuna nodded. "That's right, Miss Sasha. Our strength is very strong. Even the people in the attack team are no match for us."

Although I still have some concerns in my heart. But Sasha doesn't care about that much now. "You...well, I'll leave it to you."

……

Led by the little boy Yin, everyone quickly ran to where the army was surrounding the two children.

"Hey! You guys! Give me the baby back!"

Hearing Sasha's voice, several members of the army turned around.

"Oh, it's finally the nanny's turn."

"It took us so long."

Sasha gritted her teeth. He continued to yell angrily. "You guys give me your kids back!"

The leader of the army responded.

"Hey, hey, don't say such words that can easily be misunderstood."

"We have no interest in these children at all. We just want to teach them some social knowledge."

"After all, managing the people and preventing unrest is one of the important tasks of our guild."

Another person behind him nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, you citizens also have the obligation to pay taxes."

Looking at the grinning crowd, Sasha suppressed the anger in her heart and shouted.

"Kain, Mina! Are you over there? Don't worry about the money, just leave it all to them!"

"But, teacher! They said this amount of money is not enough!"

Hearing this, Sasha opened her eyes angrily.

"That's a whole 10,000 kels! You guys must have too much appetite!"

One of the people in the army laughed.

"It's not because you've been delaying paying your taxes. I've heard of you, Miss Sasha. Your milk tea shop is making a fortune every day."

"You, you! I can give you as much money as you want, but you have to let go of the two children first!" Sasha responded.

Everyone in the army looked at each other. There was greed in their eyes.

"Then just pay one million kels first."

Hearing this, Sasha couldn't help it.

"Asshole! One million! Why don't you go and grab it!"

The army man replied with a ferocious smile.

"There's nothing we can do, Miss Sasha. Rules are rules."

"After all, there must be punishment for the taxes you have defaulted on for so long."

"If we don't punish you, we will be very troubled if other people default on their taxes like you."

After hearing these outrageous remarks, Qin Hao asked Asuna to stay away and take care of Yui. Then he walked directly into the alley.

"Taxes, ha~ Who gave you the qualification to collect taxes from others? Bugs." Qin Hao asked in a cold tone.

"Huh? Who the hell are you? How dare you hinder the mission of our army!?"

The leader of the army waved his hand to stop his companions from speaking, and then walked straight to Qin Hao and said.

"Boy, although I have never met you, you should know the consequences of being an enemy of our army, right?"

"Now, put down all the equipment and armor on your body. All items on your body will be confiscated. I can pretend that nothing happened, otherwise...poof~"

Before he could finish his words, Qin Hao punched him and flew him several meters away. His body hit the wall hard.

Immediately afterwards, two two-handed heavy swords appeared in Qin Hao's hands. With several consecutive sword blows, all the people in the army were slashed away.

stomping on...

The sound of metal friction made by Qin Hao's footsteps and the two sharp blades dragging on the ground and scratching the ground gradually approached.

As soon as several people in the army got up, they fell to the ground tremblingly.

Then Qin Hao stepped on the leader's head and whispered.

"Although no matter what kind of damage you receive in the town, your HP will not be consumed. However, attacks will still cause knockback."

"Tell me, if I beat you all the way out of the city, will you die?"

Scanned by Qin Hao's cold eyes, these people were finally scared.

Except for the unlucky guy who was stepped on by Qin Hao, the others all rolled and crawled away.

brush~

The next second, the two heavy swords in Qin Hao's hands rubbed against the leader's neck and penetrated into the pavement under his feet.

"Hey~ It's not easy to die in the city anyway. Why don't you experience the feeling of being beheaded?"

"No...no! Please, please...no!"

Brush ~ The two heavy swords in Qin Hao's hands cut off the ground like scissors.

Although it did not cause any substantial damage, the feeling of a real sharp blade slicing through the neck still scared the other party to the point of fainting.
