October 18, 2024, SAO 61st – Selmudbrook.

Among the many layers of Selmudbrook, the town is definitely not large, but the whole town is made of white granite, like a classical European-style town, with a gorgeous spire in the center of the square as the ancient city of the city built and extended, in a beautiful contrast to most of the green areas dotted with.

To be honest, this is the most classical and comfortable town environment that players have experienced so far, when dusk falls, the sun slowly sets, and there is an area near the sea near the town’s port, and when you stand there and look into the distance, you will always feel refreshed and healed.

Not only is there a beautiful environment, but even the market has a wide variety of shops, and you can buy almost everything you need, including daily necessities, various ingredients, and prop materials.

Jiang Qi and Asuna walked side by side on the path of the town, towards the location of the maze outside the city, and the time was now 16:37 in the afternoon, 43 minutes before the time when the frontline raiders group assembled.

The distance from the town to the maze is not far, and a 20-minute walk is enough to reach it, so Jiang Qi and Asuna just walked slowly, their steps were steady and slow, and both of them seemed to have deliberately slowed down their pace, compared to the people passing by, their speed was like turtle speed.

Players who pass by them will look back at them in surprise, wanting to see which two people are imitating the turtle walking, but when they see that the two imitating the turtle walking are Jiang Qi and Asuna, they will show a clear look, the corners of their mouths unconsciously evoke an aunt smile, and each passerby will look at each other, revealing an expression that they all understand.

The players who can stay on the sixty-first floor are all people who are walking on the front line of the raiding maze, and each of them has heard of this prestigious couple, and the way to distinguish them is also very simple and convenient, that is, the handsome man and the beauty of the woman, which is the most intuitive way to distinguish them, and with the progress of the SAO game, they are more or less in contact with Jiang Qi and Asuna, so they are naturally no strangers to the appearance of the two.

Although the gossip about their marriage and pregnancy has never stopped, it is undeniable that the two of them are definitely the strongest couple in SAO, and in martial arts novels is the existence of Guo Jing and Huang Rong, which is simply invincible in the world.

Asuna is a well-known female sword master in SAO, with a swift meteor-like fast sword that is almost the strongest of the top players, and also has a record of killing the leader of the 46th layer maze alone, and is a well-deserved top ten in SAO and the strongest among female players.

Jiang Qi needless to say, one hand Fang Tian Painting Halberd Ghosts and Gods are unstoppable, firmly occupying the throne of the first person in SAO, no one can be shaken, according to the rumors of the strategy group, when attacking the fifty-sixth layer of the maze, he once killed the leader of the blood maze with a halberd, so far everyone’s guess of his level is around level eighty, and he is not only good at making Fang Tian draw halberd, but also a hundred steps through Yang with one hand of bow art, and his guild holy domain is still the strongest guild in SAO, sitting on eight golden saints, Twenty-four Silver Saint Seiya and forty-eight Bronze Saint Seiya.

Such two players walking together is a good story for everyone, and the players finally know what is the appearance of a talented woman, a golden boy and a jade girl, but the only pity is that so far there are no rumors that the two of them are married, and almost all the players who knocked on this team of CP are anxious for them.

Jiang Qi took Asuna’s hand and walked absentmindedly in the direction of the maze outside the city, and he had already seen the hundreds of strong gazes around him, after all, there were many people who were popular, he had this kind of realization long ago, and Jiang Qi could know what they were thinking even if he closed his eyes.

It is nothing more than speculating when he and Asuna will get married, guessing when the two of them will be officially announced, and maybe looking forward to him and Asuna holding a grand ceremony to facilitate their entourage.

But in fact, this is also Jiang Qi’s current concern, his relationship with Asuna has grown by leaps and bounds, or it is a long-term relationship, but the reason why the two have not married for a long time is because no one has taken the initiative to speak.

Jiang Qi is waiting for an opportunity, such as today, and Asuna is shy in her heart, always thinking that if he does not open his mouth to propose, he will take the initiative to attack, but every time her casting spell will be interrupted by Jiang Qi, which is the reason why the two have not married so far.

At this time, the noise around became less and less, and gradually became quieter, and Jiang Qi noticed that he and Asuna had stepped out of the city gate and came to the plain outside the town.

Jiang Qi was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt how short this road was, obviously it was only a minute to go, and the two people walked out of the city gate? He subconsciously clicked on the system interface, the time on it showed that it was 16:53, and it took them 20 minutes to walk from the town to the suburbs, but he felt that it was only a few minutes.

He once saw this sentence in a book: “The same road, walking with some people, is ridiculously long, and walking with others, it is so short that people are reluctant to take steps.” He didn’t know much before, but now he agrees with it, and he feels that this passage is really good.

“Let’s go, it’s almost time, do you still use me to help you review the plan of this strategy?” Asuna let go of Jiang Qi’s hand, took his arm instead, and dragged him to speed up his pace.

She has never been the kind of person who is stuck in time to go to the appointment, but every time she will be late because of Jiang Qi, and over time, as long as there is a strategy activity or meeting, she will pull Jiang Qi out half an hour in advance, so that she can arrive before the agreed time.

“Isn’t there more than ten minutes left? I bet they haven’t arrived yet. Jiang Qi let Asuna drag him towards the location of the maze.

“Can you be a little self-aware? Every time, the two of us arrive at the latest, and you are kind enough to say that the people have not arrived. Asuna pouted and grumbled without looking back.

“Aren’t the protagonists all the last to appear?”

“Did you know they still have an opening? They’ll bet we’ll be a few minutes late, the odds are scary, and I’m not late this time… If you let me lose, you know? Asuna glanced sideways at him and quickened her pace.

Meeting Asuna’s sharp gaze, Jiang Qi quickly nodded, but still didn’t speed up, just let Asuna pull him, could he not know that the group of bastards opened the market? But he secretly bet that he was one minute late, which would have suffered a lot of bleeding if he lost, but compared with the fate of the two, he suddenly felt that it was good not to be late, otherwise he would not even be able to go to bed at night.

“You should know the information of the sixty-first floor maze, right? Don’t tell me you didn’t listen to anything at the last meeting. Asuna asked suddenly.

Jiang Qi was silent for a while, then pinched his chin and muttered: “I came to see you, and I really didn’t listen to the content of the meeting.”

Asuna glanced at him, secretly happy in her heart, and couldn’t help but smack him, secretly scolding him for his rhetoric.

“The labyrinth on the sixty-first floor is an underground scene with complex terrain with a large number of insect monsters, while the boss room is hidden in worm eggs, named Worm Emperor Srref, with seven health bars, the ability to summon insect monsters and spit strong acid venom.”

“So don’t rush directly up this time like before, because there is a lot of mucus sticking to the ground, slowing you down while also helping its venom hit the target, understand?” Asuna said seriously.

“Well, so it has the ability to attack a large area from a long range, and can also summon the younger brother to carry out a righteous group fight, and the venue can also slow down to provide it with convenience, this is a scoundrel, can only rely on archers to fly kites?” But also guard against its strong acid venom? Jiang Qi licked his lips.

“Well, so we need to be careful with this boss raider, players have brought a lot of boards and stones in the inventory, and after entering the boss’s room, they can pave the road at a very fast speed, so it is not so passive.” Asuna bowed her head slightly.

Jiang Qi nodded gently, in fact, he wanted to say that you don’t have to bother so much, you can spread the floor all over the house, he can jump over and directly step on the top of his head to understand him, or he directly uses the ability of the eye of reincarnation to fly over, really can’t suck it over, there are too many ways to kill it.

The entrance to the labyrinth on the sixty-first floor is at the mouth of a cave under a cliff, sealed with a brass-colored gate, and in front of the door there are insects and monsters sentry, cross-patrolling back and forth.

The players of the strategy group gathered on the hillside opposite the cliff, everyone’s expression was very nervous, they all looked at the time display of the system solemnly, only 4 minutes before the assembly time, as long as Asuna and Jiang Qi played their previous strength, some of them would definitely make a fortune, while some would lose only their pants.

“Please, Brother Jiang, I haven’t asked anyone in my life, you come 10 minutes late!” Some people pray with their eyes closed, and it is clear that this is the one who bets the most.

“Sister Asuna is powerful! Run with Mr. Jiang Qi! Just come 5 minutes late! Just five minutes! If the little brother can win, he will definitely serve the excellent ingredients with both hands! “There are gambling dogs chanting.

“Don’t read it, I’ll pinch my fingers, Mr. Jiang Qi and Miss Asuna will definitely be 3 minutes late.”

“My friend’s humble life is finally useful! I am willing to use my friend’s ten years of life in exchange for Mr. Jiang Qi and Miss Asuna coming 2 minutes late! In

the crowd, only Kirito was silent, and even had a smile at the corner of his mouth, he silently raised his head to look at the time, and suddenly felt some emotion in his heart, it turned out that the feeling of playing black curtain was so pleasant! This is the dealer’s pig killing plate!

He and Jiang Qi colluded early, he would bring Asuna a minute late, so Kirito directly waved his hand and pressed half of the family’s wealth up, knowing that he was hiding all the pocket money that Yuki pressed, so he would definitely win.

With the cooperation of internal application, he has almost no reason to lose, so he is as stable as an old dog, and there is no wave in his heart.

Time passes minute by minute, and the system’s time display gradually approaches the time specified by the assembly, and there are still 36 seconds, 24 seconds, 18 seconds, and 9 seconds before the agreed time!

Kirito showed a faint smile, counting down the display of time, 5..4…3..Kirito grinned and was ready to laugh out loud, but at this time, a strong wind suddenly blew on the plain, blowing everyone’s eyes closed.

When the fierce wind slowly dispersed and the players opened their eyes, Jiang Qi and Asuna were already standing in front of them, and Kirito glanced at the time display of the system, no more, no less, and it was actually a second late!

Kirito instantly felt his legs weaken, almost all the players in the strategy group fell to the ground, their eyes showed unloveable emotions, especially those players who were one minute late to bet, this feeling is like you watch five million fall from the sky and about to smash on your face, but just when you open your hand to pick it up, these five million actually smashed into the person next to you.

Kirito looked up at Jiang Qi in disbelief, his eyes were full of trance after being betrayed, he was a little unbelievable, his most trusted big brother actually backstabbed himself?

Faced with that pair of sincere eyes that were pitiful and questioning, Jiang Qi couldn’t bear to look directly, so he could only turn his head and not look at him, silently mourning for him in his heart, gold coins are trivial, brother can’t turn around to compensate you, but Asuna is angry, it’s not a gold coin that can solve it.

“All stand up, this hasn’t entered the maze yet, it’s all like this?” Jiang Qi looked around and said solemnly.

All the players stood up with a sad face, looking at Jiang Fan and Asuna in disbelief, knowing that these two lords were 36 times late, how could they be stuck in time this time without being late?

Almost all the players in the strategy team had expressions as uncomfortable as eating, and they could only watch the gold coins in their backpacks shrink significantly, and their faces were painful.

In this regard, Jiang Qi just walked slightly in front of the team to lead them into the maze, after all, there is an old saying since ancient times, gambling dogs are not worthy of sympathy, and he also lost everything, enough to lose him 400,000 gold coins, resulting in his assets directly shrinking, because his demand for gold coins is not high, so his gold coins are usually handed over to Asuna for safekeeping or deposited in the guild, so these 400,000 gold coins can really be counted as his entire family property.

“How many wins?” Jiang Qi licked his lips and leaned closer to Asuna to suppress her voice.

“That’s 2 million gold coins!” A smile lifted at the corner of Asuna’s mouth, and although she lowered her voice, she could still hear her joy.

Jiang Qi was silent and did not speak, because of the 2 million gold coins, there were 400,000 contributed by him and 300,000 contributed by Kirito.
