After Chen Qingzhi made his Crystal Palace declaration, Asuna and Yuki started a cold war with Chen Qingzhi. Chen Qingzhi was very helpless about this matter. He originally wanted to use Yui to slowly dissolve the cold war between the two sides, but the situation became even worse. Yui was actually roped in by Asuna and the others and began to ignore Chen Qingzhi. This matter was a huge blow to Chen Qingzhi.
Later, Jie Yi saw that Chen Qingzhi was really too pitiful, so she quietly said to Chen Qingzhi,""Daddy, I don't hate you, but Mommy and Yuki told me not to talk to you. They even said that this is a punishment for you being a playboy.”Hearing Yui mention this, Chen Qingzhi finally calmed down. At least he knew that these two girls did not choose to leave but chose to punish her. This also indirectly proved that they also tacitly agreed to the existence of the Crystal Palace to a certain extent. It was just that they did not say it directly.
November 6th, 2023. It had been a year since the death game 'sao' was launched. During this year, the outside world had yet to come to help. All the players had already given up on the rescue. Instead, they held a strong hope for the game's strategy. At this time, Ain Grand had already been conquered on the 58th floor. Chen Qingzhi had killed 30 boss guards by himself, and the strategy team had conquered 10 boss guards. As for You Ji... She was also the second player after Chen Qingzhi to be able to solo the boss.
As for Chen Qingzhi, Asuna, and Yuki, the cold war between them had officially come to an end. Although they still didn't treat Chen Qingzhi well, they finally had a conversation. However, Chen Qingzhi discovered that Asuna and Yuki were basically in a group. Whenever a woman approached Chen Qingzhi, they would definitely chase her away. Chen Qingzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
At the beginning of November, Chen Qingzhi received news that there would be resurrection items appearing during Christmas. After learning about this, many people in Irongrunt were shocked. Countless players hoped to get this item to resurrect their dead teammates or friends, but Chen Qingzhi knew how ridiculous this so-called resurrection item was. It could be used within ten seconds of the player's death. This was the most ridiculous part of this item.
Ain Grand, 22nd floor.
"Sigh, if they knew the true nature of this resurrection item, they would definitely be very disappointed!”Hearing this, Asuna couldn't help but sigh. Then, she smiled bitterly and said,""Sigh, to be honest, is it really okay for us to know so much now?”
"Who knows, but Master is thinking of ways to avoid some things and ruin some things!”Yuki and Asuna looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"What are you guys talking about?" At this moment, Chen Qingzhi pushed open the door to Asuna and Yuki's room and asked this question with a smile.
"Nothing. What are you doing here?”Seeing that Asuna was still not polite, Chen Qingzhi could not help but smile bitterly and said,""Nothing, I'm just asking if you're going to get the resurrection item!”
"Are you planning to go?" The person who spoke was Yuki. She felt a little strange as well. Although this was the original plot, it had nothing to do with Chen Qingzhi.
"Well, I'm just going to join in the fun. Speaking of which, Asuna, you must go, right? After all, your Blood Alliance Knights are quite rare to have this thing, right?”Asuna fell silent when she heard Chen Qingzhi mention the Blood Alliance Knights. She had no choice but to remain silent. After learning about the entire plot of the Sword and Sword Realm, Asuna naturally knew who Hayaba Kyokihiko was. He was the leader of the Blood Alliance Knights, Heavencliffe. However, she did not have any evidence to prove his identity. If she really followed the original plot, she knew that she would definitely not be able to defeat Heavencliffe. However, Chen Qingzhi had no intention of making a move.
"Hey, why haven't you defeated the Guild Leader yet?”Asuna didn't answer Chen Qingzhi's question but asked another question. Chen Qingzhi sighed slightly and said,""It's probably because I don't have the confidence to win!”
"The confidence to win is not the main reason!”Seeing Asuna's serious expression, Chen Qingzhi sighed slightly and said,""That's right. To be honest, this is only a small reason. As for the second reason, it's because I can sell the equipment in this game to the system in exchange for exchange points.”Yuki and Asuna couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.
"Master, I don't understand. Can you ignore the lives of others just to become stronger? While this game is going on, there might be people dying at any time, but Master, how can you say these words so calmly? Master, are you that cold?”Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi fell silent. To be honest, the world he originally lived in was actually a cold world. If the dead had nothing to do with him, no one would feel guilty or sad. Even after coming to this two-dimensional world, Chen Qingzhi's heart still did not change much. He would only care about what he cared about. As for others who were in trouble, perhaps he would choose to help when he saw them, but if he did not see them... He would not think too much about it.
Seeing Chen Qingzhi's silent expression, Yuji was enraged. Just as she was about to say something, Chen Qingzhi spoke up."I live in a very cold world. When I was alive, other than my family and friends, I didn't care about their lives at all. Maybe I would help someone when they were in trouble on the road, but in general, I'm still a cold person. Do you know what happens when an old man who falls on the road is sent to the hospital in my society?”
Yuki and Asuna shook their heads." It's very simple. Not only did such a good person not receive any praise, but he was also blackmailed. The explanation is very simple. You were the one who knocked this old man down. Otherwise, would you be so kind as to send him to the hospital?”At this point, Chen Qingzhi couldn't help but laugh. However, his smile was filled with mockery. Asuna and Yuki fell silent when they heard this, but Chen Qingzhi continued,""Living in that kind of world, even helping someone might cause trouble. So, I choose to be indifferent. Other than the people I care about, I really don't want to care about the lives of others. Although sometimes I have compassion, in general, I'm a cold person.”
After Chen Qingzhi finished speaking, he sat quietly on the chair and lowered his head in silence. Asuna slowly hugged Chen Qingzhi's head and said with a smile," Although you keep saying that you're a cold person, you're still a good person. After all, if you're really cold, then you'll be indifferent to everything. To be honest, I was really angry at the beginning. I was angry that you didn't immediately defeat the Guild Leader and release this game. Even now, I still can't understand your thoughts, but I understand you. However, I hope that you can release this game as soon as possible, okay, Qingzhi?”
Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi nodded and said,"" I promise you, five months. Five months later, I'll conquer this game. To be honest, there might be more players dying, but there won't be many. The next boss will be killed by Yuji alone, so the strategy team won't be of much use. As for the players below, they won't die. So, five months, five months later, I'll conquer this game.”
"Then, master, you must do what you say. Five months, I will continue to wait for you for five months. If you still don't fight Hayaba Kyokihiko in five months, then I will challenge him.”Hearing this, Chen Qingzhi smiled bitterly and said,""Don't worry, I'll do what I say. Five months, I'll beat him.”
