~7 min read 1,389 words

"Why don't I lend you some money? With only the initial 1,000 gretid, if you want to buy a weapon, you probably only have the second-hand revolver or small radiation gun you just saw."

It was clearly their first meeting, but the other party was actually willing to lend him money. Kirito was also quite surprised.

But when it came to borrowing money, Kirito immediately thought of a certain loan shark who came to collect debts!

Trapped in SAO for two years, the little pocket money he saved was originally prepared to go on a date with Sachi, but it was all collected as interest by a certain guy.

Now, regarding borrowing money, Kirito really had a shadow. What's more, he had just met the other party, and he really didn't have the confidence to borrow money from the girl in front of him.

"That... besides this bounty tournament, is there no other way to make money quickly in GGO?"

According to Direct-leaf, Shengzai had already entered GGO for more than half a month. If he didn't speed up his progress, then he wouldn't only be unable to help, but would even drag him down, so Kirito didn't want to waste too much time.

Looking at Kirito in front of him who had just come into contact with GGO and was thinking about making money quickly without any self-awareness as a novice, honestly, Shinai was also a bit unhappy.

Because of some encounters in childhood, Shinai suffered from severe firearm phobia, and in order to overcome this shadow, she came into contact with GGO, this gunfight game, under the introduction of her friend Shinkawa Kyouji.

And as the time of contact with GGO grew longer, Shinai also gradually fell in love with this game. The novice Kirito in front of her seemed to be looking down on this game in Shinai's view, so this also made her a bit unhappy.

After looking around, Shinai soon discovered GGO's gambling game, which is the cowboy design game Shengzai saw before, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Doesn't the novice in front of her want to make money quickly? It just so happens that she can take the opportunity to teach her a lesson and let her dare to look down on GGO!

"Besides the bounty tournament, if you want to make money quickly in GGO, there is probably only that one.

See the tavern and cowboy over there? As long as you can dodge the cowboy NPC's shooting, pass through the passage about 20 meters in front of him, and touch his body, it counts as a successful challenge.

And as long as the challenge is successful, you can get all the prize money accumulated in the prize pool so far.

Of course, wanting to succeed in the challenge is not easy, otherwise the prize pool wouldn't have accumulated to the current 210,000 gretid. I still suggest you..."

Just thinking about teaching the ignorant newcomer a lesson, but at the critical moment, Shinai softened her heart again.

But just when she intended to advise Kirito not to be too ambitious and send money to the cowboy NPC in vain, Kirito had already walked to the challenge game on his own, and after observing for a while, he paid 1,000 gretid as the challenge fee without hesitation.

"Idiot, I was just talking, you actually really intend to challenge!

If it were that simple, the prize pool would have been emptied long ago, how would it be your turn..."

Seeing Kirito who decisively paid the challenge fee, Shinai couldn't help but feel a bit anxious, and her heart now felt even more that Kirito, this newcomer, was too arrogant.

The 20-meter sprint distance seems short, but in fact, this is a trap set by the game planner for players, just to make those players who are short of money feel that this challenge is easy to achieve.

But in fact, the difficulty of this challenge game will increase according to the distance between the player and the cowboy NPC.

When the distance is more than 10 meters, the cowboy's shooting frequency and bullet speed are not very fast. As long as the reaction speed is fast enough, many GGO players can successfully dodge and avoid it.

But when the player reaches a distance within ten meters, the cowboy will start to get serious, and the shooting frequency and bullet speed of the revolver in his hand will also skyrocket in an instant!

So far, the number of GGO players who can rush within five meters of the cowboy NPC can be counted on one's fingers. If it were really that easy to challenge, the prize pool would have been cleared by others long ago, how would it be a novice's turn to eat meat.

"It's okay, anyway, with only 1,000 gretid, there is no way to do other things, right?

And at this distance, I actually still have a little confidence. If it really doesn't work, just treat it as paying tuition."

"You're ready, right?"

After paying the 1,000 gretid challenge fee, Kirito looked at the English that appeared in front of him and decisively clicked "yes".

And the moment the gate in front of him opened, his body suddenly rushed towards the cowboy NPC like a nimble cat.

Seeing the red trajectory appear on his body, Kirito reacted as quickly as possible, and the next second, bullets brushed past his body one after another.

After dodging the cowboy NPC's shooting twice in a row, Kirito's figure had already come within ten meters of the other party, and because of Kirito's amazing performance, it also instantly attracted the attention of many passersby around.

Most GGO players who challenge this gambling game are dealt with by the NPC from more than ten meters away. Being able to rush within ten meters like Kirito is already considered a master among challengers.

"So fast, already rushed within five meters, is this going to break the record!"

"No way, is this girl's reflex nerve so heaven-defying? Why haven't I seen her in GGO before?"

The words of the shocked passersby finally brought Shinai, who was stunned on the side, back from surprise.

Honestly, compared to those shocked passersby, the person who should be most surprised now should be her.

Originally, she thought Kirito would be defeated within a few meters. After all, when she was a novice, her performance when challenging this game was about the same.

But now the result... Kirito's performance not only far exceeded her expectations, but he was even about to succeed in the challenge!

When Kirito sprinted to a distance within three meters of the cowboy, the cowboy NPC's eyes suddenly flashed with red light, and the speed at which the bullets were vented from the two revolvers in his hands was now as fast as a machine gun.

However, just when everyone thought Kirito was going to fall here, he dodged the bullet shooting with a sliding shovel when the bullets were almost close at hand, and used the ground to borrow force to perform a front flip, directly arriving in front of the cowboy NPC and reaching out to touch the other party to complete the challenge.

Seeing Kirito really complete the challenge game and empty the prize pool, Shinai also ran over and looked at him with a surprised expression: "Are you really a newcomer? And how did you manage to dodge bullets face-to-face!

Could it be that your virtual body just looks like a girl, but you are actually someone else!"

Honestly, Shinai had only seen the action of dodging bullets like Kirito just did once before, and the other party was the same as Kirito at that time, playing this game GGO for the first time.

It is also because of this reason that Shinai's eyes looking at Kirito are full of suspicion at this moment.

Kirito, who was stared at by the other party's eyes, was also panicked in his heart. Worried that his male identity would be discovered, he could only say with a guilty conscience: "I am definitely a newcomer, I only have 1,000 gretid of initial capital, you just saw it, right.

As for how I dodged the bullets, doesn't this have a trajectory prediction line?"
