"What? No one in the investigation team survived?"

Su Chen looked at the news from the person in front of him with some surprise.

However, after learning what happened, he realized that things were beginning to have an ominous trend.

"Is the crystal neutralized area? What a desperate news. The same is true on the seventy-fourth floor. It seems that the boss rooms in the future will be like this. Alas..."

Su Chen sighed helplessly.

Although it took a lot of time to collect the map information of the maze in the past few days, no one was sacrificed, and now a small team is broken up just to find out the boss's information, which is simply terrifying.

"If you give up now, there will really be no hope of survival..."

Su Chen cheered up the group members who were a little depressed in front of him.

"That's right! We have already paid too much for this. If we escape now, wouldn't all our efforts be in vain?"

Heathcliff walked in from the door and said in a decisive voice.

"In addition to not being able to use crystals to escape, this time even the escape route was cut off at the moment the boss appeared. In this way, we can only fight with our backs against the wall. Therefore, this time the team is more focused on being more refined, not more important.

We can allocate the number of people to the advantage of command."

"...What about them?"

Su Chen thought of those two guys.

"Well, although I really don't want to disturb them, there is really nothing we can do if something like this happens. I have already sent a message. After all, this boss can't survive without them!"

Heathcliff shrugged and smiled bitterly.

"That's right..."

Su Chen was also a little helpless. No matter how strong he was, he could only protect himself, but this boss battle was a group battle, and the individual always seemed insignificant.

The short meeting ended here. The time for the strategy was set at one o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and the gathering place was the transfer gate of Corinia City on the 75th floor.

Forty-eighth floor, Liz's weapon shop.

Against the background of the clanging and vibrating sound of the waterwheel, Lisbeth would have been smelting hard in normal times, but now she stopped what she was doing and felt a little nervous.

The guy in front of me was staring at his somewhat boring work in a daze.

"Hey, why did you stop?"

"..."

Lisbeth was a little nervous and didn't know what to say. Usually this guy would come and go in a hurry. Although he would sometimes bribe her with delicious food, today it seemed a little different, even if it was just a touch.

Feeling, but she can detect it.

"I feel like you're a little absent-minded. What happened?"

Although she didn't want to break the atmosphere that made her happy, Lisbeth was still a little worried.

"Uh, it's okay, it's just some strategy matters..."

Su Chen was a little embarrassed that he actually got distracted by what he wanted to conquer.

"Speaking of which, Nana is already married, so things are progressing really fast!"

Liz looked at Su Chen faintly and sighed in a strange tone.

"That's right. I met them on the first floor before."

Su Chen sighed as he recalled what happened a few days ago.

"Hey, let's get married too!"

Liz, who seemed to have mustered up all her courage, said coldly to Su Chen, who was also feeling a little emotional.

"..."

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay, I was just kidding!"

Looking at Su Chen who was stunned, Liz chuckled, but there was a trace of disappointment in her eyes.

"Uh...sorry..."

Su Chen came back to his senses and looked at Liz with an apologetic look. He actually didn't dislike Liz's love. On the contrary, he also wanted to accept her and have a vigorous love like Kirito, but he couldn't.

, at least not now!

He once hid his feelings so deeply that he couldn't tell who he was for a long time. Although living with a mask was smooth sailing, it was extremely tiring. He didn't get emotional easily because he thought he was hypocritical.

At least I am serious about facing my feelings without any impurities.

Since he couldn't give her his love, he might as well just forget about her. After all, he didn't want to hurt a good girl.

"Well, today is it about maintaining the equipment or strengthening it..."

After Lisbeth calmed down, she looked at Su Chen with a smile.

"Yeah, strengthen it, please."

Su Chen solemnly placed the sheathed sword behind his back in front of Liz's counter.

"Oh? I remember that Snow Dance has been strengthened by +44! Lucky guy, tsk tsk."

Liz looked at the gorgeous white sheath sword in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

"But, why not change it? After all, the attributes of weapons with more than 70 levels now only need to be strengthened by half the level to reach the strength of your current sword."

"I don't know. Anyway, I've been using it and it's very comfortable so I haven't changed it. Well, we'll talk about it then."

"Is that so?"

Liz looked at Su Chen with a smile on his face and nodded helplessly.

"But this sword is almost done. There are still three chances to strengthen it!"

"I know, I just strengthened it because I thought I might succeed today!"

Su Chen nodded.

"Do you still have this premonition? Let me make it clear first. If it fails, it will not be my fault..."

Liz looked at the somewhat confused and confident Su Chen and couldn't help but strike.

"Of course, I believe in metaphysics."

"Eh? Metaphysics?"

"Well, it's just faith. When Liz taps, she always imagines that she will succeed this time, so she has a high chance of success!"

"..."

Liz, who had a black look on her face, was completely speechless. This idiot actually believed such childish remarks that only a child would believe. Tsk.

"Hey! Don't look disdainful, this is a strengthening technique I discovered, and I haven't told anyone else yet!"

Su Chen looked at Liz's disdainful look with a sad and angry look. He had come to this conclusion after collecting information for a long time, and the sword in his hand was the evidence.

"Remember, keep this sure idea at all times..."

"Believe in yourself and you can do it..."

"You must firmly believe..."

"I believe you! If it's so easy to strengthen, then everyone is already 50+, so what's the failure rate? Huh~!"

Liz finally couldn't help but roared at Su Chen who was thinking nonsense beside her.

"..."

Su Chen immediately shut his mouth. After all, he was not the one controlling and strengthening now. If the person in front of him had his hands shaking, he would cry.

"call......"

Lisbeth closed her eyes and took a long breath. Although the method the guy in front of her said made her very speechless, the method of injecting faith with the sound of knocking made her whole body tremble unconsciously.

That's how she built the thing that was comparable to the magic sword.

[Dark Chaser] was a weapon created by injecting her emotions. Although the sword was not on that guy, there was no doubt that the emotion existed. The other weapon [Leng Yue] that was later built for him also

It's also because of the infusion of emotion, which sounds a bit ridiculous, but if it were him, I would still be willing to believe it.

"Just believe it with the idea of ​​​​trying it. This time, it will definitely succeed!"

Momo thought firmly in her heart, and Liz began to slowly raise the hammer.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

Ten strikes, no more and no less, each time filled with her full heart, she must succeed, protect your master, protect all the people of Aincrad, shine in the sky above the floating city.

"bite......"

With a pleasant system prompt, she was excited and handed [Snow Dance +45] to the equally excited guy in front of her.

There is no doubt that she succeeded, and she did it again. Looking at Su Chen playing with the weapon in front of her, Liz raised the corner of her mouth slightly. Sure enough, things related to this guy always give her a special experience.

"Klein, I told you not to call me a profiteer many times. After all, I am also a well-known two-handed ax warrior..."

Sounds coming from far and near came from outside the door.
