Chapter 145: Parting, another kind of strength of Fujimaru Ritsuka

"Except when accepting the mission, the reaction of the mother and daughter in the back was so real, they looked like real people!"

After finishing the mission and walking out of the house, Asuna couldn't help but exclaimed.

However, as a player who experienced the game in depth for the first time, she didn't know what it meant, so she just sighed in surprise.

"Yeah, I was stunned for a moment."

Fujimaru Ritsuka responded with a smile.

At the same time, she guessed in her mind that maybe BB not only improved the AI ​​performance of the monsters, but also improved the AI ​​performance of the NPCs, which caused this situation.

BB kisses that guy, he’s not going to cause some kind of omnic crisis with me, is he?

She was a little worried about this, after all, it did seem like something BB would do.

"."

Kirito followed the two of them silently, without saying a word, and lowered his head to cover his face, so that no one could see the expression on his face clearly.

Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly noticed his abnormality and expressed concern:

"Kirito-kun, what's wrong?"

".nothing."

The other party seemed to want to pretend that nothing happened, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was choked.

"Kirito-kun, are you okay?"

Asuna looked over worriedly when she saw this.

Seeing that his lame disguise was instantly exposed, Kirito felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time, it offset the sadness in the heart of the first branch.

So he raised his head and looked at the two of them, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, showed a forced smile and said:
"I have a younger sister at home, and the scene just now reminded me of some things from the past, so..."

Seeing the little girl named Agatha lying on the bed drinking medicine, he suddenly recalled the time when his sister Suguha had a cold, and he hurriedly cooked ginger soup for her.

Although it was just a simple ginger soup, it was still very difficult for him who had never cooked before.

When he brought the ginger soup he made after accidentally injuring his finger to Suguha's bedside, Suguha, who usually liked to quarrel with him, actually looked at him with a moved expression——

He missed home, his sister Suguha, his father, and his mother.

"."

Although Kirito didn't express his thoughts directly, Asuna, as a top student, still read the meaning behind his words, and she couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Why doesn't she miss home?

Although there are problems in her family, it is her home after all.

Of course, she was lucky enough to meet Fujimaru Ritsuka, and with the help and encouragement of the other party, she did not go into extreme situations.

Hey, hey, why did the atmosphere suddenly become sad?
Seeing that the atmosphere between Asuna and Kirito continued to deteriorate, she had no choice but to quickly change the topic:
"By the way, Kirito-kun and Asuna were both upgraded just now, right? Congratulations!"

"Kirito-kun, do you have any suggestions on the distribution of attribute points after upgrade?"

After submitting the task named [Secret Medicine of the Forest], in addition to obtaining rare weapons, the two also gained a certain amount of experience points, and a burst of golden light rose up from their bodies, which was a sign of level improvement.

Originally, Kirito had passed through monster slaying and reached level three or more. After gaining experience points from the mission, he was promoted to level four.

And Asuna, who was only at level one, was directly promoted to level two and a half and a little more.

After hearing Fujimaru Ritsuka's question, the two finally returned to reality. Kirito smiled and said:

"The allocation of attribute points in SAO is very simple, and there is nothing special to pay attention to."

Since the main selling point of SAO is its [Sword Skill System], although there are many hidden attribute values ​​​​in each person, there are only two attributes that players can control——

Strength and agility.

Each time you upgrade, you will get three attribute points. According to the player's own situation, you can choose either strength points with a strength/agility ratio of 2:1, or agility points with a strength/agility ratio of 1:2.

In addition, there are more extreme points for pure strength or pure agility.

As for the 1:1 balanced point addition, according to his understanding, it is not feasible in most games.Kirito's approach is towards strength, while Asuna, as a rapier user, is undoubtedly towards agility.

As for her, like Kirito, she uses strength to gain points.

After the two of them finished adding points, she smiled and invited Kirito:

"Next, Asuna and I are going to start grinding monsters and leveling up. Do you want Kirito-kun to come with us?"

During this period of time together, Asuna also had a good sense of Kirito, so she looked at him expectantly.

"my words"

Faced with Fujimaru Ritsuka's invitation and the expectant looks in their eyes, Kirito hesitated for a moment and declined with some embarrassment:
"At my current level, the experience I can gain in this nearby area is already very low. Next, I plan to go deeper to level up."

"So, sorry."

For a moment, he really wanted to say yes.

But everything he has now was only obtained after he chose to abandon his friend Klein, whom he had just met, in the initial town, and decided to become a solo player.

If he agreed to join them and betrayed his original choice, he would always feel sorry for Klein and himself.

"Well, then there's no way."

Although she was a little regretful, Fujimaru Ritsuka was not too entangled, but smiled and said:
"Then let's wait until Asuna and I catch up in level."

"And no matter what, at least when we conquer the first floor boss, we will definitely be able to meet up."

"makes sense."

Hearing what the other party said, Kirito relaxed, scratched his head and responded with a smile:
"I think it will be difficult for me to find a team that can accept me then, right?"

"If possible, I hope you two will not reject my application to form a team at that time, please!"

As he spoke, he also made a somewhat exaggerated request gesture.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Asuna looked at each other, showed mischievous smiles, and deliberately teased:
"Then it depends on Kirito-kun's strength at that time, whether he will hold us back."

"Yes, I will try my best!"

"Hahaha!" ×3
After saying that, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. For the first time in SAO, which had been reduced to a game of death, Asuna and Kirito laughed heartily.
-
After parting ways with Kirito, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Asuna came outside the leveling area of ​​Holunka Village and started leveling.

Because they obtained enough information from Kirito, they eliminated the time of trial and error, and the two of them cooperated surprisingly well, so the two of them leveled up at a very gratifying speed.

But Asuna soon discovered that it was not so much that the two of them cooperated very well, but that Fujimaru Ritsuka's commanding ability was very strong.

"Asuna, left!"

"Yes!"

"Asuna, watch your back!"

"Yes!"

"Asuna!"

"yes!."

While fighting, Fujimaru Ritsuka can also take into account the situation on her side, give timely reminders and commands, and even occasionally provide critical support to her.

Although she already knew that Fujimaru Ritsuka was very powerful when fighting the wild boar in the initial area, but now, the opponent showed another kind of power in front of her——

Strong commanding ability.

Obviously fighting monsters is quite dangerous, but under the command of Fujimaru Ritsuka, she seemed to have entered a strange realm.

Now she is just like Fujimaru Ritsuka before, dancing gracefully in the battle.

However, even as a top student, she couldn't describe this mysterious feeling in concrete words.

But she understood one thing very clearly——

Ritsuka is really strong!
