Chapter 272: Kirito

~7 min read 1,250 words

That's right, not all SAO survivors are grateful to Shengzai for saving them.

Just like the red-name players who survived from "Laughing Coffin" before.

In SAO, the members of "Laughing Coffin" were mostly pure lunatics.

And the main cadres among them, Shoichi Shinkawa (Red-Eyed ZaZa) and Atsushi Kanemoto (JohnnyBlock), were also the same.

For those ordinary players, successfully escaping from SAO was leaving the suffocating death game, but for these murderers like Shoichi Shinkawa and Atsushi Kanemoto, they felt as if they had lost the meaning of existence.

In the game without law, as red-name players, they could do whatever they wanted, watching those players die in pain and wailing.

But such pleasure could not be experienced at all in reality; in the eyes of other SAO survivors, Shengzai was probably a savior like a hero.

But in the eyes of Shoichi Shinkawa and the others, Shengzai was the enemy who strangled their only paradise.

Shoichi Shinkawa, who returned to reality, failed to wake up from the role he played for two years in SAO, and even the self who was not expected in the real world made him feel empty.

So he teamed up with Atsushi Kanemoto (JohnnyBlock) to return to his old business in GGO, and pulled in his younger brother who worshipped him, forming the so-called "Death Gun."

Just as Seijiro Kikuoka and the others guessed, the reason why "Death Gun" could kill in the game was actually because they did something in the real world.

The so-called "Death Gun" was never just one person, but the Shinkawa brothers and Atsushi Kanemoto.

"Death Gun" would have any one of the three enter GGO to dive, and the other two would sneak into the target's home in the real world, using a high-pressure injector to inject succinylcholine into the target's real body, causing the other party to die.

Atsushi Kanemoto (JohnnyBlock) was originally a poison expert in SAO; obviously, he also possessed certain pharmacological knowledge in the real world.

And the Shinkawa brothers, as the sons of the director of a general hospital, wanting to get succinylcholine was not a particularly difficult thing for them.

Once the target had a certain reputation in GGO and was also living alone, they would all be treated as targets.

Originally, the next target for "Death Gun" and the others was decided to be Kyouji Shinkawa's classmate, Asada Sinon, but Shengzai's appearance directly disrupted their plan and rhythm.

Shengzai using the name "Wenren Shengzai" to enter GGO was intended to attract "Death Gun" to take the bait with his own body.

It's just that Shengzai himself probably didn't expect that his plan hadn't started to be implemented yet, and those who were defeated by him in the Bounty Competition should have helped him become famous first.

"Bounty Competition" is a small competition that happens every week; although there is attention, it is not very big.

Shengzai probably didn't expect that he would enter the sight of "Death Gun" so quickly.

"Miss Sinon, I have already said it very clearly; being able to win just now was completely due to my luck, so can you please stop pestering me?

And as you can see, my only weapon was shattered into parts under your sniper rifle before, so even if you want to PvP with me now, I don't have a weapon, right."

Looking at the ice-blue-haired girl before him, a helpless and headache-filled look appeared on Shengzai's face.

The matter had to start from a few minutes ago; after the Bounty Competition ended, Shengzai, carrying a huge sum of 100,000 gretid, originally wanted to go to the weapon shop to arm himself well.

But soon, a friend request pop-up suddenly popped up before Shengzai.

And the person who wanted to add Shengzai as a friend was naturally not someone else, but Sinon, who was counter-attacked and turned over by him at the end of the Bounty Competition.

Honestly, Shengzai used a second-hand revolver to defeat her in such an adverse situation; Sinon really couldn't find any excuse for her failure.

But as long as she thought that she, a top five sniper in the server, was defeated by Shengzai, a novice player, in that situation, Sinon was quite unwilling.

So the girl who didn't admit defeat was the first to take the initiative to add other players as friends and applied to Shengzai for a rematch.

And for the PvP application proposed by Sinon, Shengzai naturally refused without hesitation.

Just kidding, playing games also requires energy, okay? Especially for gun battle games like GGO, do you really think it's easy for him, Shengzai, to jump around with a broken revolver?

Before, competing for the Bounty Competition championship was for the prize money; what good is it for him to have a private PvP with Sinon?

"What type of weapon do you like or are you good at?"

For Shengzai, who refused her PvP request, Sinon didn't intend to give up easily, but indicated that she could provide quite a few suggestions to Shengzai.

Compared to Shengzai, who only used a second-hand revolver, Sinon was clearly the expert.

Shengzai, who was originally regretting agreeing to the friend request just now, was obviously stunned after hearing Sinon's words.

Yeah, compared to him, a novice, buying things blindly, the glasses girl Sinon was clearly the expert.

"Regarding the types of firearms, do you have any preferences or ones you are skilled with?"

"Uh, actually, if possible, I would like to get a lightsaber first. I know that in GGO, there are optical weapons of this type."

Upon hearing Shengzai's words, Shinai was stunned, and after confirming that he was serious, she said with a bewildered look: "You're choosing a lightsaber as your primary weapon in GGO instead of a firearm? Are you sure you're not joking?"

There are indeed some lightsaber weapons in GGO, but one must know that in a game world where firearms are mainstream, such weapons are not popular.

After all, although the lethality of a lightsaber is immense, even capable of one-shotting someone, can the attack range of a lightsaber compare to a firearm?

Suppose two people are a hundred meters apart; the lightsaber user would likely be turned into a beehive by the other person before even reaching them.

Of course, it's not that there are no players who buy and equip lightsabers, but most players only keep them as secondary weapons.

Someone like Shengzai, who wants to get a lightsaber first without even buying a firearm as a primary weapon, is something Shinai has simply never heard of.

"Actually, compared to firearms and such, I am more skilled in sword techniques. It's a pity GGO doesn't have those high-tech gauntlets or anything; otherwise, I would actually be quite confident in my martial arts level."

After hearing Shengzai's words, Shinai was even more speechless. Not only does he want to buy a lightsaber, but he even wants gauntlets?

Big brother, this is GGO, an MMO where firearms and steel are mainstream. If you want to play with sword techniques and martial arts, I'm afraid you've walked onto the wrong set, right?

"Are you really not just messing with me and trying to anger me into leaving because you don't want to PvP with me?" Shinai looked at the young boy in front of her with a suspicious expression.

Shengzai: "( ̄ ̄), am I that idle? If you don't have any good suggestions, then I'll just go buy one myself."
