Occasional ripples appeared on the calm water, but they could not shake the people on the shore. The burly man sitting on the shore changed his usual irritable temper, calmly stared at the quiet lake, and held a request in his hand. A precious fishing rod with high strength, waiting hard under the sun.

McGee was fishing. In the central lake of the evergreen tree forest on the second floor of No.20, which was simple and unpretentious, after defeating a huge fish-shaped monster at the level of a small boss, he got very rare props. They were not powerful weapons, but It's not a rare armor, let alone a precious accessory, but a very rare fishing rod.

At that time, there was only one thought that this kind of thing could also be dropped by killing monsters.

He would go to the lake for the purpose of obtaining a rare fish and meat ingredient, but he didn't want to get something unexpected, but since then, McGee has fallen in love with the sideline of fishing. When he got a fishing rod, he practiced fishing skills without hesitation.

McGee is a weight man, and he likes heavy things, like the huge shield in his hands, and the heavy sword to match.

The ultimate goal of obtaining fish ingredients is of course to let Mana help with cooking. Although there is still a long way to go before it can be fully learned, the food made by Mana now is quite delicious, definitely better than ordinary food. What the store sells has to be delicious.And Mana is a very smart child, she can find edible props and season them accordingly in her spare time.

Should I say it's a girl's romance...

There are many lakes on the 22nd floor. After McGee got the fishing rod, he carried out sweeping fishing on the fish in each lake. With the increase of his skill proficiency, the fish he caught became bigger and bigger and more beautiful. It's getting weirder.

At first, when Mana saw the purple or green fish that McKitty came back, she hid behind Chen in fear, resolutely not wanting to touch the strange fish that seemed to be alive and kept shaking its ramen-like beard. , but in the end, under the longing eyes of everyone, she also had to compromise, because it was the result of McGee's day's labor.

How could they eat such a strange creature!

Then one floor away, the 24th floor is another place with a large number of lakes. When McGee just stepped on this floor, he looked at the blue lake in his sight, and a green light appeared in his eyes, as if a beast had found its prey. Before everyone found a stronghold, he ran to the lake with his fishing rod.

The 24th floor is covered by a large area of ​​lakes and swamps. Walk a short distance north from the main street [Panareze], and there is an artificial island centered on a huge tree. Mana and McGee are at this moment Fishing on the edge of this small island.

The small island used as a sightseeing area naturally has very beautiful scenery, and it is full of vibrant colors. Whether it is the blue of the lake or the green of the plants, it shows the beauty of nature. This is an excellent date Place.

Reluctantly, Mana could only accompany McGee to fish here.

Because the boss battle on the 25th floor will be held tonight, Mana will come out with McGee willingly so that everyone can conquer it smoothly. At this time, the others should be making the final supplies.

In the past, if McGee was just fishing out of interest, Mana didn't need to follow him, but this time it's different, because it can only play an encouraging role if he catches very delicious fish, and it may also make everyone fight more energetically. So it is necessary for Mana to follow.

It is said that when hunting such monsters that can be used as ingredients, if there is a cook, that is, someone with cooking skills to follow, the chances of getting delicious ingredients will increase.

It is not known where he heard it from in the first place, and Liar was very dismissive of this information, but McKee felt that he would rather believe it or not, so he dragged Mana here.He also wanted to prove what kind of fish he could catch with his current skill proficiency.

The meal that night was very depressing, no one talked at the table, the taste of the food was naturally good, but no one cared about it at all, even McGee who went fishing and Mana who accompanied him did not let go of their thoughts. on the food.

In fact, the day before, an organization called the army had already entered the boss room. At that time, the army arrogantly blocked all non-army players, including the raiders who had been fighting on the front line, from the room. The team organized by the army went in to attack.

As a result, it was terrible, and almost all the people who went in were wiped out.The few people who escaped were also so frightened that they sat down on the ground as soon as they got out of danger, and they didn't relax for a long time.

There is very little information at hand. At present, we only know that the boss of No. 20 on the fifth floor has the appearance of a two-headed giant, possessing terrifying power that can nearly wipe out that arrogant army. In terms of details, even the boss's weapon is not clear.

After the entire army was wiped out the day before, the strategy team held an emergency meeting, roughly drafted a battle plan, and was preparing to implement it tonight.Since they set foot on the second floor, the place where players have stayed the longest is probably the current No.20 fifth floor.The labyrinth area has basically been conquered, and all that remains is to defeat the boss and move forward.

Even if you don't know anything, with so many layers of previous combat experience, you can always guess something.Therefore, tonight is a night that has to be fought.

The action tonight is undoubtedly very dangerous.

Mana thought with some worry.Naturally, she has a lot of confidence in the people in the team, and the longer she gets along, the more she feels this way. These people are really powerful, and they cooperate seamlessly. On the surface, everyone is incompatible with other people, and the combination is a super powerful killer.

She doesn't like people in the army. She usually sees people in the army who are very arrogant. Occasionally, when she returns to the town of the beginning, she can see them domineering everywhere. In addition, yesterday they did not care about other people's ideas and tried to monopolize the BOSS. His behavior is also disgusting.

Most of the people in the army have a very powerful and arrogant face, but they themselves have no arrogant capital at all, they are just bullying others.Mana felt that Chen, who was like a god, was not arrogant, so why should they!

Well, she was protecting her shortcomings in thought, but she just liked that person.

After the confession incident, there was no estrangement between them. Of course, it would be a little awkward to meet Mana at first, but Chen always calmed her emotions inadvertently, and even lent Alexander to her...

The two of them seem to be more friendly than before, which seems weird, but the real situation is that when they were sleeping, Chen hugged Mana before, Mana hugged Alexander, and Chen hugged the two of them. .

Chen doesn't seem to have the idea that Alexander's existence can replace Mana's role.

The food that should be delicious came into the mouth, but there was a feeling of not eating it. Mana, who was always serious, was rarely distracted at the dinner table.

Her expression completely fell into the eyes of the person sitting beside her who would glance at her from time to time.

"You...don't go..."

On the 20th floor, Mana, who was about the same level and equipment, was finally allowed to participate in the boss battle after undergoing some technical honing that was regarded as devil training. Every time she entered the boss room, she was in a team, as a matter of course. The five of them will form a small team. Ever since Mana joined the dangerous boss battle, Chen will not seize every opportunity to attack the boss. protected.

Mana, who has already gone through four levels of boss battles, has never even gotten close to the boss's toes. Usually, she fights the servants and small bosses.

It was also in the BOSS's room that Mana met the girl Liar mentioned, the girl who was as beautiful as an elf.

Mana was so well protected, even though the boss battle was a race against time, she could still focus on looking at that girl.At that time, there was only one feeling, that it was as fast as the wind.

That girl's speed is no less than Chen's, maybe it's even faster than Chen's. Wherever she goes, besides the light of sword skills, there will be a maroon afterimage mixed with light red, which is her beautiful The long chestnut hair and red skirt were left behind when they passed by in the air. The weapon used by the girl was a rapier, which was the weapon that Liar had recommended Mana to change.

It has become a habit to use the one-handed straight sword all the time. Naturally, Mana did not change the weapon she was comfortable with impulsively, because her petite appearance is really incompatible with the heavyweight equipment like a shield, so as a user of the one-handed straight sword She is also not equipped with a shield.Even if it is a light metal shield, it looks funny when she holds it in her hand.

After seeing that girl's sword skills, Mana didn't want to use the rapier even more.

She didn't think she could control that kind of light speed weapon, and she didn't want to have the idea of ​​comparing with that girl one day in the future.Whether it's the contest in her own heart, or the pros and cons in the eyes of others, she can't stop avoiding it.

She quietly asked Liar the girl's name, and as expected, Liar should have collected the girl's information.

Asuna, her name is also elf-like.

Mana shook her head, while shaking off the figure with beautiful long chestnut hair that suddenly popped into her mind, on the one hand she rejected Chen's proposal.

"I'll try not to cause trouble."

Even if it's just to beat a few attendants by the side, please don't leave her behind...

"Then follow me closely." Chen Wei tilted his head, watching her with very serious eyes, "If I get caught, use the transfer crystal to escape immediately."

Often at times like this, Chen would not be stingy with words, and would always be able to say a few more words, and between the lines revealed worries that made Mana feel gratified.Perhaps Chen was thinking a little too much, but the news that the army was almost wiped out is undoubtedly shocking, and it is not in the invalid zone of the crystal, how could it be possible that there is no time to leave, after thinking about it carefully, I can only think that the boss has a super abnormal special abilities or means of attack.

Waiting in front of them is a terrifying attack that can make people even have no chance to escape.

Mana nodded reluctantly. Out of sensibility, she wished to say something like "I'll be with you no matter what" or "I won't leave you alone", but she couldn't do so rationally.

Chen is caring about her, how can she be so willful.If something bad happened, she thought, at least, she could drag Chen out of trouble.

She is no longer a little girl who can only hide in the town of the beginning, and now she also has the ability to fight, which is not even lost to the strength of most other raiders.

She must start to play a role when danger occurs, even if it is just to help Chen buy time to escape.

She absolutely doesn't want to die, and she doesn't want Chen to die either!
