"Unexpectedly, I comforted Yui instead." In order not to worry Yui, Kirito forced himself to smile and responded, then he changed things and said, "By the way, how is Prosham?"
"Prosham? Her mood index and heart rate have stabilized temporarily, but they are still very bad." Yui replied.
Kirito complained about how the NERvGear that was put on his head measured heart rate, but it was pointless to ask technical questions about this hardware now.
Silica also said in disappointment: "I'm sorry, Kirito-san, I obviously heard her say some things about herself, but I don't know how to comfort her. Those things... are obviously not her fault."
"Let me go take a look." Kirito opened the door and walked in.
He felt that if they were both top players, they should have something in common.
At this time, Prosham was sitting by the window, wearing a style that was very similar to Kirito's midnight coat. The only difference was that it was sleeveless and had a split hem. In Kirito's eyes, she was really handsome. He thought maybe she was...
Maybe the world is trying to achieve this kind of impression.
There is nothing else in the room except a hard bed and a simple table and stools. These are equivalent to the so-called "initial furniture". New ones are being purchased by Asuna and others. It may take some time to select and arrive.
So, Kirito pulled out a stool from under the table and sat down.
Prosham did not look back, and said quietly: "Are you Kirito-san, who is said to be the Koga ninja?"
"Ah, it's me."
Kirito thought it would be better not to complain about the title in his heart at this time.
Prosham looked at Kirito and said with a stiff and hearty smile: "I heard that you have been active in the plot mission closest to the main line of clearance, and it was the same one yesterday. It's so amazing. You protect your companions and want to save them.
The willpower of everyone is incomparable to people like me. I really admire you."
If faced with domestic players below the first tier, Kirito might still boast about it. This is also a mask that belongs to the player Kirito and not his true self, but he can't do that now.
He said: "There is no such a high-level reason. It is just the persistence of standing at the top player ranking and enjoying this sense of superiority. In the words of an honor student, it is actually the same as not wanting to fall out of the top ten in the grade.
.If we really want to save everyone, we should provide more information to the middle and low-level players so that they can live better. The only people I can save are the people in front of me, and I can't compare with you who are constantly actively looking for those in need of help... No
, I can’t even protect the person in front of me, right?”
"...Really." Prosham was silent for a moment and said, "Then, me too...maybe I just keep using the sense of superiority of helping others to numb myself, because I... am a 'serial murderer'...
…”
"What did you say to Silica? That's the problem of those people themselves. I've seen a lot of people like this. It's not your fault."
Prosham shook his head a few times: "No, that's just one of the things that can be understood even if you say it. At first, because I was lucky, I couldn't help but do a little help when I saw troublesome things, but it ended up being self-defeating...
…Kirito-san, if you help a guild by chance and they invite you to join because you have shown extraordinary skills but don’t know your true strength, what will you do?”
"Hmm, um... If you need to join to facilitate the realization of your goals and interests, just hide your level to join; if you have no idea of joining, just tell your level to refuse."
"Why do you need to hide your level when joining?"
"Because, too large a level gap is detrimental to combat. Now the AI level of monsters is very high. Players with high levels may scare away low-level monsters or even run away when they see them, but attract high-level monsters. There is no need to talk about what happens next.
Right? If you don’t intend to train the novices as veterans, it’s better not to form a team to fight if the gap is large.”
"Well, I didn't understand anything at that time, and they didn't understand anything either." Prosham continued to shake his head, raising his hand to cover his forehead, "There was a guild that I accidentally saved, and they invited me to join, maybe alone.
After a long time, I also wanted to experience the feeling of a group, so I agreed, and they were very happy when they found out my level." Prosham forced a smile.
"If you don't fight side by side and just seek shelter, that's okay. There are many guilds and organizations that work together to perform their own duties in life and combat." Kirito said.
Prosham shook his head again: "They are different, they want me to 'lead the training'. One time, in order to gain a lot of profits in a short time, they proposed to go to a difficult maze. Originally I was against it, but with their flattery, I
I also lost my correct self-understanding. Of course, with my strength, I can save them even if they are trapped in a tight siege. When I encounter a BOSS, I can fight them one-on-one and let them just shout and share experience points. However, when I encounter such a trap, except
Me and everyone else are dead, and we don’t even have time to react..."
"What trap?"
"It's an ordinary hole, but it's too deep. Even I will definitely die if I don't activate [Sky Star Mode]. Everyone else fell to pieces on the spot. If it weren't for my personal luck and strength that made them overly relaxed and proud
Well, if I hadn't been the 'trainer', they might have just stayed in a safe place, maybe their level would have been lower, maybe their lives would have been more difficult, but they would have been living well until now."
"Didn't you use a transfer crystal during the fall, or use a sword skill with a jump displacement effect to buffer the double jump before landing?"
Prosham raised his head in surprise and looked at Kirito with his eyes wide open: "Can Kirito-san do it?"
"It's simple. If you use a shield in the air as a foothold to do triple or even quadruple jumps, it's not impossible..." Kirito, who accidentally fell into the boastful teaching mode, immediately became cold, "Well, it's true that most people can't do it.
This is basically a skill outside the system, sorry."
Prosham did not blame him. He slowly lowered his head and shook his head again. "Actually, I helped others in the early days, and I accidentally killed the opponent's designated monster in the battle, causing the task to fail, resulting in the opponent not being able to receive it."
The reward was not enough to upgrade the equipment and buy enough potions and died in the maze; I discovered a criminal player who was not unforgivable, but was still struggling for survival. After being exposed, I treated him better. I tried to persuade him to change his evil ways, but he was publicly executed by other players. I didn’t want to
Dirty hands forced him to commit suicide... and there were many other things like that."
Prosham stopped shaking his head, turned to look at Kirito, showed a very stiff smile again, and said: "So, the right choice is to help to the end and leave as soon as possible after confirming that everything is really okay."
