Zongman started from grabbing girls with Wuhe Shidao

The transfer gate square in the starting town is quite spacious, enough to accommodate [-] players when it started operating two years ago.

In the center of the circular space with the stone floor, stood a huge clock tower, and below it was a transfer door that swayed with blue light.The concentric circles and slender flower beds surrounding the tower extend outwards, with several elegant white benches lined up in the compartments.

It's not surprising that there are some noisy players everywhere in the afternoon when the weather is good like this.

But all the figures I saw were moving towards the transfer gate or the exit of the square, and almost no one stopped or sat on the bench.

If it is a large-scale street on the upper level, the transfer gate plaza is always crowded with countless players coming and going.Some people chatted everywhere, some recruited team members, and some people set up simple stalls to sell, and it was almost impossible to move forward in a straight line because of the crowds gathered——

"... Asuna, judging from the player base on the first floor, isn't there a little too few people here?" Lin Mu, holding Yui in his arms, turned to look at Asuna, and asked.

"Hmm..." Asuna was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, then subconsciously swept across the street, and finally looked at the trees again, pointing her chin with her finger and said: "Ah... So speaking of it, it is indeed the case—could it be all What about gathering at the market?"

Shaking his head, Lin Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter what happens, the important thing is not this..." Lin Mu rubbed Yui's head in his arms while talking.

"Hee hee." Yui couldn't help but hugged Lin Mu's neck tightly, and laughed sweetly.

……

then.

When Lin Mu and Asuna entered the street from the square, and arrived at the market area lined with shops and vendors, the street was still very deserted, only the cries of chaotic NPC merchants resounded hollowly throughout the street.

Despite this, Asuna still found a man sitting under a big tree in the middle of the street, so she walked over and asked:

"That, sorry."

Then... the man who was staring at the treetops above his head in a daze with full attention, said in a troublesome tone without looking back: "What are you doing?"

"Um... is there anything similar to a missing person notice near here?"

Hearing that, the man turned his gaze to Asuna, "Are you from another place?"

"Yes, yes...we are looking for the child's guardian..." Asuna said, pointing to Yui who lay in Lin Mu's arms and rubbed against his chest.

Seeing the appearance of the trees, the man seemed to be dazed for a moment, but he immediately reacted and said: "...A lost child? It's really strange... There are many little ghost players who live in the church by the river in the East Seventh District. Go over there and ask." As soon as he finished speaking, the man raised his head again and looked at the treetops.

"Ah...thank you..." Asuna thanked her, and at the same time raised her head curiously, looking at the treetops above her head, she was really curious, what was there that made this man so focused...

Then, Asuna, who had found nothing, couldn't help saying: "Um...what are you doing here? Also, why is there no one here?"

As soon as this remark came out, the man immediately showed an expression of displeasure, but then he sighed and replied in a gentle tone: "Actually, I really want to tell you that it is a business secret, but since you are a foreigner, it doesn't matter... You should be able to see it too, right? That tall branch."

Asuna looked in the direction the man pointed.The branches of the tall street trees are covered with bright red leaves. As long as you observe carefully, you can find a few yellow fruits growing under the shadow of the leaves.

"Of course, because the street tree is an object that cannot be destroyed, even if you climb it, not to mention the fruit, you can't even pick a leaf." The man continued.

"The fruit will drop several times a day... Although it will rot and disappear after only a few minutes, if you seize the opportunity to pick it up, you can sell it to NPCs at a good price, and it tastes good. "

"Huh--" When it comes to ingredients and props, Asuna, who has fully acquired cooking skills, is very interested.

"How much can that sell for?"

"... Please keep this secret. One can be sold for five col."

"..." Seeing the man's smug expression, Asuna was speechless for a moment.In addition to being surprised that the price is too cheap, I feel that it is completely incompatible with the labor of keeping under the tree all day.

"That, that... Should I say that it's not worth it at all... If you go to the training area and knock down a bug, you can earn thirty cols."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was the man's turn to open his eyes wide.He looked at Asuna with eyes that barely said "Is there something wrong with your head?"

"Are you serious? Go to the training area and fight monsters... This will kill you!"

Asuna was speechless.

As the man said, fighting monsters is indeed close to death.But as far as Asuna's feelings are concerned, it's the same as worrying about getting into a traffic accident when walking on the streets in the real world. It can only be said that worrying is useless.

Asuna couldn't tell for a moment whether her sense of SAO's death had become dull, or the man was too nervous, and fell into a daze.Neither should be the correct answer.However, in the starting town, what the man said must be the perception of ordinary people.Not noticing Asuna's complicated mood at all, the man continued:

"Huh? What else did you ask? Why is there no one? In fact, it's not that there is no one, but everyone is hiding in the hotel room. Because they may encounter the army's tax collection troops during the day."

"Levy, tax... what the hell is going on?"

"It's a hooligan with a card. You have to be careful, those guys will not be polite to outsiders. Oh, there is a fruit that is about to fall...let's talk here." The man closed his mouth and started Stare at the sky with serious eyes.

Asuna nodded again in thanks, then turned around and looked at the forest over there.

Then, she saw that Lin Mu was holding Yui in his arms, and two handsome guys, one big and one small, were staring at the treetops in almost the same posture...

Asuna: "..."

"Hey, Yui? Do you want to eat?"

"Yeah, I want to!"

"Then let mom be okay for a while?"

"Uh-huh!"

After the conversation ended, Lin Mu smiled at Asuna: "Asuna, Yui wants you to hug me for a while."

"..." The corners of Asuna's mouth twitched slightly, but she still stepped forward to take Yui from Lin Mu's hand, and at the same time whispered: "Don't forget that he told us important information..."

"Yeah, I understand." Lin Mu smiled back.

Said, Lin Shubian raised his head again and looked at the treetops.

As a result, by coincidence, a yellow fruit fell from the trunk the moment the tree raised its head.

The man under the tree suddenly showed a look of joy, and he quickly stretched out his hand to catch the fallen fruit.

however--

"Snapped…"

The sound of the fruit falling into the palm sounded, and the man looked at the scene in mid-air and gave his certificate slightly.

After catching the fruit, Lin Mu fell back to the ground contentedly, even if he couldn't catch it, he had to fall back, after all, the gravity of SAO is no different from the real world...

However, Lin Mu was satisfied, and that man was about to explode with anger. The fruit he had been waiting for for a long time was snatched away by others?And the person who came here to ask for his information?Who can put it on, and who can bear it?

"Hey, you bastard!" The man glared at Lin Shu.

"Don't worry, I didn't intend to steal your things." Looking at the man's appearance, Lin Mu spread his hands helplessly, then he took out a silver coin of [-] cols from his pocket, threw it to the man, and said with a slight smile: " I bought this fruit."

Chapter 270 The Church

Walking on the street, Asuna looked at Yui, who was happily holding a yellow fruit in her arms, gnawing happily, her eyes were doting and helpless, then she turned her head and stared, with her hands resting behind her head , Lin Shu, who looked like he needed a beating, sighed helplessly.
