Chapter 176: Forged swords, 100 floor
After gathering enough Crystallite Ingots, Feng Yu Chen & co returned home.
"Wait, how do we get back? Do we climb up?"
Liz looked at the tall walls around them. Climbing out seems like the only option. However, it is hard to climb such steep walls for dozens of meters.
"Two ways, we can wait for the dragon to respawn and ride it out. Or, I can fly out of here with you. Which one do you want?"
Feng Yu Chen asked Liz.
Liz rolled her eyes.
"You goof, how are you going to fly out? Just wait for the dragon to respawn. What? You're going to fly me out of this place like an angel? There are no flight spells in this game. There is also no magical race that can fly us out, are you messing with me?"
"Ok, since you're not going to pick, I will pick a choice for you."
Feng Yu Chen hoisted her up before rapidly tapping his feet. Like an arrow, he took to the sky. In a few seconds, they were already out of that deep hole.
"..."
At a loss of words, Feng Yu Chen totally hugged her before bringing her out of the hole, he did it with ease!
Feng Yu Chen placed Liz down near the entrance of the dragon's lair.
Liz found it hard to believe that just happened. Is this guy an SAO player? The more time she spends with him, the more unreal his circumstances seem.
"Okay, let's use the Return to Town Crystal. Asuna and Yui are waiting for us."
Feng Yu Chen patted Liz's shoulder. He took out a teleport crystal.
"Lindarts!"
Feng Yu Chen returned to the town.
"Hey, you jerk, wait for me..."
Liz angrily yelped. Is he shy because of what he just did?
He won't tell Asuna, right? That would be so embarrassing.
Lindarts.
Liz also teleported with him.
She yelled at Feng Yu Chen.
"Hey, why did you ditch a girl behind? That's so not cool. Do you still want me to help forge your demonic swords? You better be nice to me. Seriously, what does Asuna see in you?"
"Hahaha..."
Feng Yu Chen laughed. He teased her.
"Had I gone soft on you, you would have fallen for me, wouldn't you? You in love with me yet?"
"Hiss..."
"You narcissist, why don't you go hug Asuna. That's it, I am charging you 3 times my fees. Take it or leave it."
Liz said with arms akimbo.
3 times the fee? Ouch...
Feng Yu Chen helplessly laughed. That's way better than telling her he has Asuna already. She is cute but it is not a reason to compromise and jeopardize his relationship with Asuna.
Liz just has a crush on him. Feng Yu Chen is her first love. Feng Yu Chen's brilliant performance dazzled her.
However, Asuna is his main girl in this world.
Liz started forging the demonic swords. Since she can't be with him, she might as well focus her energy on making the swords that will protect him.
"Hey, what did you do to Liz? She is so silent. You better come clean or I will have to..."
Asuna wanted to hear what Feng Yu Chen did to her.
"Hey, what does that mean? I am loyal to you. You got to trust me. Plus, we only went there for half a day, what could happen? Liz is probably just focused on making the demonic swords since I told her I would be paying 3 times the market rate."
"3 times? What are you? A bourgeoise?"
3 times, that's enough money to make Liz go into serious mode.
"..."
Feng Yu Chen sweated hard. He hopes this is the end of it. Let this be a small interlude.
"Liz should enter our guild. We need a blacksmith like her. It's settled, we are going to recruit her."
Asuna decided on Liz's entry into the Wings.
Feng Yu Chen just nodded, she's the boss.
"Okay, Asuna-sama, you're the boss..."
After a month, the Wings stood at the Floor Boss door. There are close to 40 players here, they are here to end it once and for all.
"Liz, how are the blades?"
Feng Yu Chen asked.
"Yeah, I made twelve blades instead of eight. I think identical blades should serve you better since you can leverage the equipment bonus. I poured my heart into these blades, if you fail then I am going to hate you!"
Liz gave twelve icy-crystalline blades to Feng Yu Chen. She looked on warmly.
Let the blades serve you if I can't be with you.
Asuna felt like Liz just confessed her feelings but she didn't dig too deeply into this. Feng Yu Chen was busy clearing floors while Liz focused on forging the swords. They had almost no chance to hang out. They are probably just chatting like friends.
"Okay, I will not let your effort go to waste!"
Feng Yu Chen received the demonic blades.
