"What do you want me to do?" Asuna asked at Zhou Chao with a serious look on her face.

"It's the same as before." Zhou Chao said.

"As your backpack and cash machine?" The clever Asuna almost immediately understood what Zhou Chao meant.

"Yes, but this time I have to go a step further and be our agent."

"What's the agent?" Asuna asked in confusion.

"Making equipment that takes out the game requires a lot of materials, but you know that Lala and I cannot use the SAO world system, so I want you to come forward to trade for us and other trapped players in this world to get the supplies we need."

"Can the materials in the game be used to create equipment for stripping?" Asuna said with disbelief.

"The materials in the game cannot be simple, but they can only be transformed by Lala." Zhou Dynasty said proudly with a look in his expression. Although this arrogance does not come from himself, who would let Lala be his companion? It is still possible to be proud of it.

At this time, Asuna finally looked at Lala, who had been subconsciously ignored by her, but except for her cute and simple appearance, she really couldn't tell what kind of computer expert she had.

Then, Asuna, who had not seen a 1, 2, 3, 3, gazes back and looked at Zhou Chao again and said, "The materials you need should be rare, right? We have just opened the second level together. The players have not yet come and explored the world of the second level. They may not be able to collect what you want in a short period of time."

"I'm wrong. On the contrary, the materials we need are actually very ordinary, such as ordinary ores such as gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, crystal. They are not only easy to harvest, but they can even buy finished ingots in weapons stores in towns. But the difficulty lies in the many types we need and the quantity may be very large, which requires your help." Zhou Chao sighed.

After a pause, Asuna continued in frowning and meditation, "In addition, we need to find some reliable and trustworthy craftsman professional players, and they will help us create the intermediate products we need. This is the most difficult part of the whole problem."

Hearing this, Asuna, who had already raised her eyebrows, became even tighter, and a look of distress appeared on her face.

"The last question, why did you choose me?" After a moment, Asuna, who had temporarily given up thinking, stared at Zhou Chao's eyes seriously and asked, "Although this kind of thing seems complicated, basically anyone can complete it. I don't believe you have never met other players before. After all, we only met for the first time before, and even now we have been together for less than a day. There is no reason for you to entrust such a big thing to me, a stranger."

"It's worthy of being Asuna. When facing the face of a ** who can return to the outside world, it's really admirable." Zhou Chao looked at Asuna, who looked beautiful and young in front of him with a sigh, but at this moment, he exclaimed.

Asuna frowned when she heard Zhou Chao sigh, her eyes staring at him with suspicion.

"Do you know me?" Asuna asked.

"That's right." Zhou Chao shook his head slightly and said.

"What does it mean?" Asuna asked in a stance that she wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end.

"Okay, I know you." The Zhou Dynasty retreated.

"Who are you?" Asuna asked.

"Zhou Chao, a guy who has never had any social interaction with you, so you don't have to think about my origins and identities at all. Just know that we have a way to get out of this world and be ready to take action."

Asuna looked at Zhou Chao quietly, then glanced at Lala, who was always happy and didn't know what worries were, nodded and agreed, "Okay, I agree to cooperate with you. I hope you're saying everything is true."

"Thank you." Zhou Chao breathed gently when he saw Asuna agreeing, and smiled.

"Also, when you were in the boss, I hated the attitude towards that player. Although it was indeed wrong for him to suspect that people were not right, he was just out of control because of his companion's death. So I hope this kind of thing will not happen next time, otherwise I would rather give up my cooperation with you!" Asuna stared at Zhou Chao's eyes with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.

"..., I understand." Zhou Chao and Asuna looked at each other for a few seconds, then lowered their eyes and replied softly.

"Hmph." Asuna snorted lightly, turned around and walked away from Zhou Chao.

"Zhou Chao, are you okay?" Lala looked at Zhou Chao beside her with a worried look and asked.

"It's okay." Zhou Chao shook his head.

"Zhou Chao!" But who knew that this time, Lala, who had always been good-tempered and obedient, suddenly changed her expression. She jumped down and walked to Zhou Chao, stretched out her hands to pinch Zhou Chao's cheek, stared at him with an angry look and shouted, "We are good friends, right?"

Zhou Chao nodded.

"Then why can't I tell me something? Are good friends and other things lies?" At this time, Lala's expression changed again, with tears in her eyes and a sad face.

"..., I'm sorry." Looking at Lala who was about to cry, Zhou Chao sighed helplessly, raised his right hand and tilted his finger to wipe away the tears accumulated in Lala's eyes, and said apologetically, "I'm just a little irritated. It's not like you think there's something wrong. As for why I didn't tell you, I just don't want you to be upset with me."

"Really?" Lala asked with a pitiful look on her face.

"Really." Zhou Chao nodded and affirmed.

"Oh." Lala, who received the affirmative reply, burst into tears and smiled, raised her hand to wipe the tears in her eyes completely, and then asked strangely, "Why did Zhou Chao feel upset? Is it because of the environment we are in now?"

"Something is part of it." Zhou Chao let go of his hand and pulled Lala back to the edge of the flower bed beside him and said.

"Why?" Lala said in confusion.

"Because of Tiah Belu." Zhou Chao sighed.

"That dead captain?" Lala tilted her head and thought about it before she remembered who Tiabellu was.

"Well." Zhou Chao nodded, and then said, as if he wanted to vent his words, "This imaginary space is different from the imaginary space you created, and it is also different from the rules of the game on the home machine you have played before. If you die here, you will really die, whether in the game or in reality... It originally had nothing to do with us, but today's Tiabeiru, his death could have been avoided..."

"Like the guys who blamed people said?"

"Some differences." Zhou Chao thought about the definition.

"oh."

"...I don't know what I was thinking at that time, but it turned out that I didn't save him at that critical moment. So to some extent, I was watching Tiabellu die and watching him die... that feeling was really bad!"

While talking, Zhou Chao bent up and covered his cheeks with his hands, looking decadent as if he was shameless.

However, just when Zhou Chao thought Lala would hate her and ignore him, Lala's nice voice sounded again in Zhou Chao's ears.

"It's not like that." Lala said softly.

Zhou Chao raised his head in surprise and looked at Lala.

"I have observed that when you are fighting, perhaps the death of the man named Tiabeiru was related to the fact that Zhou Dynasty did not rescue him, but his own behavior was also an important reason for his death." Lala explained, "If he had not chosen to go up to play the boss himself at that time, but continued to let all the members of the Communist Party take action together according to the previous arrangement, he would not have died at all."

"Before that, when he rushed towards the boss, the guy named Kirito also reminded him, and Tiabeiru also heard it, but he did not follow the advice and retreated, and still chose to insist on playing the boss alone. This is also one of the reasons for his final tragedy."

"So to a large extent, Tiabelu's death was his own fault and he did not blame others. As for the problem that Zhou Dynasty did not take action, at most it would only eliminate possible variables, which was not the main reason. You should know that we are outsiders to this world. Even without us, the action to guide the boss will continue. Tiabelu should continue to choose a single player in the end, so the existence of Zhou Dynasty only increased the possibility of his survival."

After hearing what Lala said, Zhou Chao felt uneasy and relaxed, and the irritable emotions in his heart disappeared, and the person became calm again.

"Thank you, Lala." Zhou Chao was moved to Lala thanked. But the next moment, Lala's words changed and she said seriously, "But, Zhou Chao's behavior this time was not right. Since he has the ability to help others, why should he stand by? So Zhou Chao should not do this again in the future."

"Yeah." Zhou Chao nodded heavily and agreed.

"Hehe." Lala smiled and became happy again.

"I'm so close to Zhuzhe, right?" Looking at Lala with a pure smile, Zhou Chao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

From this day on, Asuna completely joined the team. During the day, along with Zhou Dynasty and Lala, she went to the wild to fight monsters and raise money and materials. At night, she turned into a purchase merchant and contacted players who arrived on the second floor in the free market of the town, discussing the acquisition of materials and finding suitable professional craftsmen players.

Just like this, more than two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
