"This is Lizbet, a life professional forge player." In a hotel cabin in a town on the fourth floor, Asuna pointed to the girl with short pink hair and small freckles around her and introduced.

Then he pointed to Zhou Chao and Lala on the other side and introduced, "This is Zhou Chao, this is Lala."

"Hello, I'm Zhou Chao, I'm very happy to know you." Zhou Chao stretched out his hand and said with a smile on his face.

"Hello." Lala, who was standing beside her, also greeted with a smile.

"Hello, just call me Liz." Lizbet reached out and held Zhou Chao's hand and said with a smile.

"Well, what is your commission?" Lizbet asked after meeting.

"We want to entrust you to create tools," Zhou Chao explained. Then he turned around and walked to the table on the side, picked up the few pieces of paper placed on the table, then turned around and returned to Lizbet, and handed the paper to the other party.

Lizbet reached out to take the paper and looked down. Then, handfuls of simple-writing pictures of various labor tools common in society, such as hammers, pliers, drivers, wrenches, screwdrivers, small scissors, tweezers, etc., came into her eyes.

"How is it? Can it be built?" Zhou Chao, who had waited for a moment and gave Lizbeth enough time to look through the drawings, asked again.

"It should be no problem." Lizbet thought for a while.

"Well, no problem, I'll accept this commission." Then, Lizbet nodded again with a confident look on his face.

"Okay, then I'll ask you. If you want to talk to Asuna about the specific matter, I have only one requirement, that is, as soon as possible." Zhou Chao said.

"Okay." Lizbett agreed.

...

Lizbeth was very efficient. In just about three days, he completed all the tools required by Zhou Dynasty, and then delivered them to Zhou Dynasty and Lala through Asuna's hands. As for the reward, Asuna, who received the goods, he naturally paid it.

But correspondingly, the large loss of materials was the result of the inventory of Zhou Chao and others.

"The first step is completed, and it's time to start the second step." Zhou Chao gently exhaled as he looked at the large number of tools placed on the table.

"What?" Asuna, who was sitting opposite the Zhou Dynasty, asked in confusion.

"Continue to purchase materials, especially quartz, crystal, copper, iron, and lead, etc., and need to collect in large quantities." Zhou Chao said.

"Copper and iron should be fine. The miners should receive a lot of them. If lead is a little difficult, it may be a bit difficult. After all, it is not commonly used forged metals. As for crystal and quartz, it is probably unlikely." Asuna shook her head slightly and said.

"Try to do it, crystal and quartz materials are very important." Zhou Chao frowned when he heard this and said helplessly.

"I understand, I will ask other players or guild organizations for inquiries." Asuna nodded and agreed.

Then Zhou Chao chatted with Asuna for a while, and Asuna left the items, got up and left the room.

The next time, they returned to the past again. Zhou Chao, Lala and Asuna either formed a special guide group to guide the game progress on the front line, and earned money and materials, or set up stalls in the city to collect ore, and lived a fulfilling and repeated life.

In this case, more than two months passed in a blink of an eye. In other words, Zhou Chao and Lala have been in the SAO world for more than four months.

"No, we must speed up the progress, otherwise we will most likely die here." Zhou Chao said loudly with annoyance on his face during another hotel gathering.

At this time, Zhou Dynasty was very thin, just like the poor people in African countries who were not full, with a faint outline of their bones, looking like they were hungry and she looked like they were hungry.

Of course, Lala also changed like him. Although she did not look like a skinny skeleton girl like the Zhou Dynasty, her original proud figure had severely shrunk, shrinking from a girl to a child of eight, nine, and ten years old.

The reason for this situation is very simple, that is, hunger!

Yes, he was indeed hungry! At first, after eating food in the SAO world, Zhou Chao, who felt full, subconsciously thought that this thing could indeed wrap his stomach, and after eating, he did not have any problems with empty stomachs like hypoglycemia and weakness. But he didn't think so, it was actually a false appearance! The data signal that made up the food sent false electronic messages after entering his body, deceiving his brain senses, making him mistakenly think that he had eaten a real item and filled his stomach.

But in fact, he still didn't eat anything at all! The reason why he did not produce hypoglycemia and weakness after eating that thing was all because of the part of the electronic energy contained in the data food was that it replaced the calories and biological energy in real food to fill the needs of cell metabolism and slowed down the time when Zhou Chao's body changed.

But this is false after all, and it can only last for a while, but it cannot last for a lifetime. So after a period of time, Zhou Dynasty's body still undergoes abnormal changes irresistible, that is, weight loss! This makes Zhou Dynasty feel something is wrong.

But just like he mistakenly thought that food could wrap his belly, Zhou Chao didn't think about it at the beginning. After all, it had been almost two months after more than a month. If he really hadn't eaten, he should have died long ago. He wouldn't have wanted to become thinner now. So at the beginning, Zhou Chao thought that his physical weight loss caused by excessive psychological pressure.

However, as time went by, when he found that he not only became thinner and thinner, but even Lala's figure began to shrink, Zhou Chao finally realized that this was wrong. It should be another reason, so he quickly found Lala and told her about it. Then after some speculation and discussion, he finally confirmed the cruel fact that the food was false!

"I have done my best." Asuna frowned. She understood that Zhou Chao's irritability was not directed at her, but she was also worried about the changes in Zhou Chao and Lala, afraid that they would really have problems, but she did her best and she really couldn't find a way to get more materials.

"Zhou Dynasty, it doesn't matter, these materials are almost enough." Lala, who was standing beside her, smiled.

"Huh?" Zhou Chao frowned and looked at Lala with confusion. As well as Asuna.

"Pekai!" However, Lala did not answer the two of them's doubts, but shouted.

"Master Lala." Peikai said.

Asuna, who knew Peikai's existence for the first time, looked stunned and subconsciously searched the room... but found nothing. In the room, there was no fourth person except her and Lala, and Zhou Chao. Where did the sound come from?

"I'm sorry, Peikai, I may need to take you apart for the time being and make something else." Lala said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, Lord Lala, Peikai is an item you made. Everything that encompasses life is Lord Lala. It doesn't matter how Lord Lala wants to use it, Peikai is fine." Peikai said in a stern voice.

"Thank you, Peikai." Lala said, "But don't worry, this is only temporary. After leaving this world, I will definitely repair you, I promise!"

"Well, I'll wait for you, Lord Lala!" Pei Kai said excitedly.

"Pekai, get rid of the drag." Lala ordered.

The next moment, under the comment of Asuna's astonishment and surprise, Lala's strange clothing blended into a large stream of strange liquid and left her body, and then formed into a very cute round robot that appeared on the round table among the three. However, correspondingly, Lala became naked again.

"Asuna, please give Lala a piece of clothing." Zhou Chao turned his head and looked at Asuna in shock and said.

"Oh, oh! No, why don't you turn your face away quickly!" Asuna nodded subconsciously at first, then she shouted loudly at Zhou Chao with a slightly red face.

Zhou Chao laughed awkwardly, turned his back to Lala. Asuna quickly walked to Lala, took out a set of female clothes from her backpack and handed them to Lala, letting Lala wear it on her body.

It was not until a moment later that I heard Asuna's voice sounding, "Okay, you can turn around."

Zhou Chao turned around and looked at Lala again.

At this time, Lala was wearing a light blue off-shoulder top, a white pleated short skirt, and red Chinese leather boots on her feet, revealing her fair and straight legs and slender arms. Her black demon-like tail was shaking, making her look very cute.

"Zhou Chao, Lord Lala will give it to you for the time being. If I wake up and find out that something is wrong with Lord Lala, I will never let you go!" Pei Kai raised his round and cute head and said in a serious voice.

"Don't worry, I will protect Lala well. I guarantee that I will have a lot of hair when you wake up again." Zhou Chao also promised seriously.

"Hmph." Pei Kai snorted lightly, turned around and looked at Lala again.

"Sir Lala, I'm ready." Pei Kai said.

"Well, Peikai, turn off the phone." Lala nodded and ordered softly.

After saying that, Pei Kai's body paused and he was completely silent.

"Zhou Chao, give me those tools." Lala turned her head and looked at Zhou Chao and said.

"Okay." Zhou Chao agreed, and quickly took out the tools he had previously commissioned to Lizbet from the hotel cabinet and put them on the table in front of Lala. Lala did not hesitate and immediately reached out to get the tools he needed and put them on Peikai's body.
Chapter completed!
