Accusing me of using cheat software is going too far.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you know there’s another way to earn money in the game as fast as possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirito wasn’t stupid—in fact, his sharp mind immediately realized Seiya was referring to “pay-to-win,” so he quickly opened the so-called pay-to-win interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unfortunately, since Kirigaya Kazuto modified the program and cut off contact with the outside world, the pay-to-win features of SAO have been disabled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirito had never even seen the pay-to-win interface, let alone thought about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the original SAO beta test never had a pay-to-win channel either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, a “beta test” means a testing version not yet released to the public, so naturally it couldn’t have any pay-to-win functionality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seiya’s coins must have come from pay-to-win, but the pay-to-win channel is now shut down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That means Seiya’s coins were all purchased right when the game first launched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Kirito remembered correctly, the game announcement mentioned the currency exchange rate: one yen equals one copper coin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the pile of gold coins Seiya just pulled out was worth hundreds of thousands of yen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This lunatic, who’d never played this game before, spent hundreds of thousands—or even over a million yen—on in-game currency right at launch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Games are all about having fun—earn money to create joy; if you’re broke, you can go screw yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Turns out, that saying is absolutely spot-on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirito really wanted to retort, but the words on his tongue instantly changed to: “Big boss, can you lend me some money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirito wanted to be a proud player, but the real issue was that with sufficient funds now, they could level up much faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And by using these scarce resources others couldn’t yet access, they could leverage small investments for huge early returns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll lend you money, but it’s not free—you’ll have to pay interest, and when you repay, I only accept real-world currency.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Seiya’s words, Kirito’s face instantly darkened; at that moment, he even thought Seiya was more mercenary than Messi had just been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he remembered that with startup capital, he could not only grow stronger quickly but also make a massive profit, so after some hesitation, he gritted his teeth and agreed to Seiya’s exploitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three percent interest per loan, one gold coin equals ten thousand yen; when we return to the real world, you just pay back thirteen thousand yen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kirito, who had already braced himself for being ripped off, immediately cursed when he heard Seiya’s outrageous interest rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this even interest? This is outright loan-sharking! We’ve been best friends since childhood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this your so-called ‘discount for friends’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seiya just snapped back impatiently: “You think this interest is high? Do you believe me if I say right now, if I shouted out, there’d be plenty willing to pay two or even three times the amount?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it weren’t for our close bond, I wouldn’t even be offering this deal to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Seiya’s words, Kirito winced—but he had to admit, Seiya was absolutely right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, trapped in the game, real-world money was just useless paper to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this world’s currency, especially in this early stage with fierce resource competition, even a few hundred copper coins could mean the difference between life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention one-to-two—even one-to-five or one-to-ten—if Seiya wanted to exchange, he’d have no shortage of buyers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Seiya knew perfectly well that Kirito was broke, and as a student in the real world, he was even poorer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seiya proposed these terms simply to recruit Kirito into his scheme and use this early capital to make a huge profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, although Seiya had money, he lacked game knowledge, while Kirito was the exact opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seiya wanted to establish a guild in SAO, and he needed Kirito, the “cheat player,” to help with early funding and operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, as they chatted, they reached the grassland area Messi had mentioned and found the so-called “Wolf Leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wolf Leader is one of the first-layer wilderness bosses, possessing stats far beyond ordinary wolves and combat abilities far exceeding typical monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse still, it can summon wolf packs from any direction, possessing the special ability “Calling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When attacking the Wolf Leader, Seiya and Kirito clearly divided their roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, they both attacked the Wolf Leader together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Wolf Leader used its “Calling” skill to summon wolf packs, one would distract the wolves while the other continued whittling down the Wolf Leader’s HP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the exact division of labor, they didn’t plan anything specific, ultimately deciding the one closer to the Wolf Leader would handle the boss directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Seiya slashed at the Wolf Leader’s flank, the boss’s HP dropped to half—and it let out a deafening howl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Howl——————!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the howl echoed, dozens of smaller wolves, significantly smaller than the Wolf Leader, burst forth from all around with flashes of light, snarling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As planned, I’ll handle these wolf pups—you take care of the Wolf Leader.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the summoned wolves, Kirito swiftly slashed each one once and then bolted away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the aggro mechanics, the newly summoned wolves—all loyal followers—immediately locked onto Kirito and chased after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the Wolf Leader now standing alone, Seiya grinned and charged forward with his sword again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was a wilderness boss, the Wolf Leader’s attack patterns seemed incredibly simple to Seiya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he avoided being surrounded by the summoned wolves, he’d be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Seiya, the Wolf Leader was nothing more than a wolf with longer HP and higher stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding——————!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the “Weapon Block” skill, Seiya blocked the Wolf Leader’s claw strike head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Wolf Leader, bound by its skill mechanics, recoiled backward from the block, Seiya thrust his one-handed sword forward with full force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bunjin Sword Style, Form Three—Shatter the Army!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1051,"2026-06-19T15:18:33.595Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f604ef9c1be7724f9644eff87a3fa1514ce8ba39b8544edfdc766cac3fbcc9e2","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-13","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-11",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
