After all, everything takes time and gradual progress, doesn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Asuna’s smile, which seemed to carry hidden meaning, Xing’s face instantly flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she soon realized that when it came to matters of the heart, outsiders like them could only play supporting roles—they could do little more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Asuna is truly a perfect person: beautiful, thoughtful, and utterly radiant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Female friendships often form suddenly and inexplicably, but after this incident, Asuna and Xing became quite good friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even until Kirito and the Black Cat Moonlight Guild left, Shengzai still stared at Asuna beside him with an expression of utter disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply couldn’t understand why the first meeting between the rightful wife and the first love had been so harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asuna and Xing’s meeting hadn’t sparked any bloody rivalry—it had even turned into a close friendship. To Shengzai, this was absurd on top of absurdity, absurd to the extreme!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um… Asuna, what do you think of Xing? Doesn’t it bother you at all that she’s with Kirito?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given how unexpectedly everything had just unfolded, Shengzai cautiously asked Asuna, who was still fiddling with “Meteor” beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xing is a wonderful girl, and I think she and Kirito are perfectly matched.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, are you free right now? I just got my new weapon and I’m itching to fight—let’s do some PVP.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, considering you’re the national kendo champion, you’ll let me win a little, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great, since you have no objections, it’s settled then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For this PVP, you’re not allowed to use any weapon, and there’s no time limit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shengzai’s half-spoken words were immediately cut off by Asuna, who grinned at him and issued a PVP challenge with utterly unfair conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell do you mean no weapons? What’s the difference between me and a lamb about to be slaughtered?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re definitely mad! I knew it—even though you pretend not to care, seeing Kirito with Xing still got to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asuna, who had been in a decent mood after receiving “Meteor,” nearly exploded with rage upon hearing Shengzai’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without caring whether Shengzai agreed or not, she grabbed his hand and clicked “Accept Duel” on the system interface before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being forced into this completely unfair PVP, Asuna had expected to vent her anger on this annoying guy—but Shengzai instead summoned a flame tiger and a giant flying bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, without weapons, Shengzai couldn’t have defeated the current Asuna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after their last power-sharing, he was no longer the same—he could now summon spirit beasts to fight, and even without swordsmanship, his martial arts were just as formidable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——————Separator Line\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aincrad Floor 55, Gransam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The town’s main settlement, built entirely of steel glowing with black light, was known as the Iron City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest guild in SAO, the Blood Alliance Knights, was also headquartered here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing today’s team training, Asuna, as deputy leader of the Blood Alliance Knights, prepared to head home early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Asuna, you’ve worked hard today. Have you spoken to Shengzai about it yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Asuna was about to leave the guild headquarters, a middle-aged man in red knight armor with gray hair called out to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man who stopped her was none other than the guild’s leader—Heathcliff, reputedly the strongest player alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heathcliff’s strength was said to have held the collapsing front line alone for ten minutes during the Floor 50 boss battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was also said that since the game began, his HP had never dropped into the yellow zone—never below fifty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um… I haven’t had the chance to speak with him yet. But knowing his personality, he probably won’t agree.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, I’ll try to persuade him again…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bidding farewell to Heathcliff, Asuna sighed deeply, then walked alone to Aincrad Floor 50’s Algate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Algate on Floor 50 of Aincrad was currently the most bustling town, second only to the first floor’s “Start Street.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the streets here were chaotic, they were lined with all kinds of shops and stalls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Start Street, the players here were generally of higher levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After arriving on Floor 50, Asuna first bought some edible monster ingredients from several vendor players, then went to Akir’s general store, an old friend’s shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Akir, got any good ingredients today?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Asuna standing before him with a shopping basket, like a housewife, Akir wasn’t the least surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past six months, the famous \"Flash\" from the strategy group had been a regular customer at his shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since both were from the strategy group and Akir was one of the few friends Shengzai and Kirito had, Asuna was naturally very familiar with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Asuna! You’re here just in time—a player sold ‘Golden Herring’ here in Algate because he needed money, and I managed to get it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing “Golden Herring,” Asuna’s eyes lit up instantly. “‘Golden Herring’? The S-rank ingredient ranked with ‘Stew Rabbit’ and ‘Hexagonal Honey’ as one of the three culinary treasures!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a foodie, Asuna had maxed out her cooking skill and memorized every ingredient in SAO inside and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet she had only ever heard of the legendary “Golden Herring”—never seen it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Akir, please, sell me that ‘Golden Herring’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legendary ingredients were rare and unpredictable, so as a foodie, Asuna had no hesitation in deciding to buy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",932,"2026-06-19T15:18:33.595Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1f1d41f5a30f6b8e4d3d144b7b08499854b7c6232b2ffc7bd67afc98954a94a5","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-67","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-65",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
