I like traveling the most

Chapter 577: A fool has his luck - Aqua's familiar

The idol plan was implemented very successfully, giving the bottom players something to do and allowing the Axis Cult... to be more precise, Sato Kazuma to make a lot of money.

Guichu Kazuma has been very proud of himself recently.

Fortunately, he arranged a concert every month, which did not make Alice suffer too much, nor did it affect the speed of everyone's leveling up. I heard that there was a chart-topping thing, so that the top players could meet and shake hands with Alice, and each player who contributed money could get prizes and support items of different levels. For a time, Aincrad was in an idol frenzy.

It must be said that he understands hunger marketing.

And Xiaolin took Aqua to level up in the maze area. I'm wrong, it was Liu Zi, the big guy, who took them to level up.

It was because the killing guild - Smiling Coffin was very loud recently, and many people took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and attack players, and put all the mistakes on Smiling Coffin. But PoH was not angry when being smeared. On the contrary, he hoped that Aincrad would be in chaos, and even declared that he was responsible for all the crimes.

He looked absolutely evil.

Under no circumstances, Xiaolin had to take Aqua to upgrade her level so that she would not be besieged and attacked in the wild.

Nowadays, if ordinary players stay in the safe zone, they can rest assured, but Aqua's personality of being a troublemaker will never let her stay in the safe zone obediently, so she had to upgrade her level instead. It's not that I haven't thought about having people follow the stupid goddess, but Huihui, Youyou and Darkness are all the same.

As for PoH...

Never talk about gains and losses with a guy with a problem in his brain. This is what Xiaolin experienced personally - from Aqua and others - you never know when the evil person who is hostile to all players will make a big move.

Aincrad 27th floor.

This is the floor that has just been cleared. The team has already gone to a higher floor. The experience here is lower than that of the upper floor, but it is safer to go to this floor. There are gains and losses. Kayaba Akihiko has done a good job of balancing this aspect.

Kobayashi, Aqua and Ryuko are leveling up here.

"I say, Kobayashi, take a break."

"...Huh?"

"Look, we have been out leveling up for three hours. How about taking a break first?"

"Are you serious?"

Kobayashi squinted at the stupid goddess who had already taken out food and wine. She didn't seem to be here to gain experience and level up, but more like she was out for a picnic. He couldn't hold it back.

"——You have been doing nothing since you came out. It's Ryuko and I who are killing monsters, okay!"

Aqua is still a burden without any attack power. Kobayashi doesn't expect her to be of any use when he is leveling up the BOSS, but at least asks her not to disturb him when he is leveling up with her.

This lazy attitude, when he is with her, even the passion for leveling up disappears.

Aqua pouted and said aggrievedly: "I just let you take a break because I saw you were working hard! I'm understanding you! I'm not wrong, okay!"

"Uh..."

No matter what the stupid goddess thinks, she is indeed kind, but Xiaolin and Liu Zi are iron men and don't feel very tired.

Forget it, the time is almost up.

"Take a break for a while."

"Okay, Master Xiaolin."

Liu Zi obediently put away the sickle.

The three of them sat on the ground in the maze area. There was a small hill with a slight slope, green grass and breeze, and a big tree behind to shade the sun. The beautiful scenery made people feel relaxed and happy.

In terms of enjoyment, Xiaolin would like to call the stupid goddess the best. She can always find a comfortable place to be a useless person. Then Aqua took out a sandwich from the prop box.

"Here, this is made by Asuna."

"Asuna?"

Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, and soon realized it again.

In terms of closeness, apart from their guild mates, Asuna and Aqua have the best relationship. I don’t know if it’s because Aqua is too outgoing, but Asuna has turned into a wife, doting on Aqua and feeding her often.

I heard that Asuna’s cooking level is almost reaching mastery.

Damn, Kobayashi hasn’t mastered any skills.

“Here, it’s delicious.”

“…Thank you.”

I took the sandwich from Aqua, who was full of expectation, and I don’t understand why she was so nervous when she didn’t make it.

“Hmm. Delicious!”

I took a bite and it tasted great!

It must be the blessing of cooking proficiency, it’s so delicious.

Aqua smiled foolishly and said, “Right, I’ve always been reluctant to eat it. I heard that it’s made with high-grade ingredients. Although it doesn’t increase the temporary amplification effect, it tastes very good accordingly!”

The food in SAO has special amplification, such as the blue meta dessert on the fifth floor, which has the effect of real perspective.

However, Kayaba Akihiko probably didn't want the properties of food to play a big role in the boss battle, so the added effects were all insignificant.

"... I say, you didn't force Asuna to make food for you, did you?"

"No! Rather, Asuna forced me to make food. My item box is almost full of these foods."

Aqua pouted.

Kobayashi wondered if Asuna had treated the stupid goddess as a pet?

... Never mind, it doesn't matter.

"Liu Zi, you should also taste it."

"...It's very delicious. I have to say that Asuna-sama made a rare contribution to allowing me, the doll body, to taste such delicious food. But I also have to say that Mao who made this game Chang Jingyan is a low-level creature. Does he think that no matter what kind of creature he is, he needs food to survive? He even sets up a satiety value. "

The elegant maid speaks venomously while eating.

I don’t know if Kayaba Akihiko was peeping, but even if he was peeping, he probably wouldn’t be able to understand what Ryuzi said. After all, as a doll that relies on gears to operate, Liuzi does not have hard needs such as hunger and thirst, so she does not have a matching taste.

"Think about it on the other hand, Kayaba Akihiko allowed you to taste the delicious food, Liu Zi. You should be grateful to him."

"...I'll just be grateful."

Although she said so, her expression was actually scornful.

Xiao Lin shrugged and said nothing.

Turning his head, he was about to speak when he saw the stupid goddess lying on the ground with her butt stuck out, her back turned to them and she didn't know what she was doing.

"...Aqua?"

Just when Xiaolin was about to pat her shoulder, he saw Aqua looking at a monster and not knowing what she was doing.

The monster is the flying dragon that was spawned on the twenty-seventh level. It is blue and white in color, similar to the dragon in "Su Qing", but it is not a giant dragon, but a second-level flying dragon.

The experience value of the Flying Yulong is very high, but the trouble is that it can fly.

As we all know, in SAO without magic, flying monsters are the most difficult to farm, so other players will run to the upper levels.

Of course, Xiaolin is the exception.

With silk threads and chains, he can imprison several monsters at once. Combined with Liu Zi's super high attack power, he can gain experience very quickly.

No, that's not the point.

Sudden--

Somehow, the goddess and the monster stretched out their right hands at the same time, and then clapped their hands together, making a crisp sound. Then taking this as an opportunity, Aqua hugged Fei Yulong, looking intimate.

"Ah this...?"

Xiao Lin was dumbfounded.

This is the bastard looking at mung beans, does his eye make eye contact?

But he soon realized that Aqua had conquered the pet!

SAO has a pet system, and players who obtain pets are called trainers. This name is not a systematically standardized occupation or skill, but a common name.

Monsters that usually actively attack during battles will occasionally show favor to players. If you can seize this opportunity and tame it successfully by giving it food, etc., the monster will become a precious existence that can provide the player with various kinds of help - a familiar.

And everyone will call these lucky players Tamers with admiration and envy. Of course, not every monster can become a familiar. It's possible that there are only a small number of small animal monsters.

Originally, Kobayashi thought that among their group, Sato Kazuma had the highest probability. After all, his luck value was undoubtedly the highest, and he might be the one with the highest luck among all the players.

It's not that Kazuma Sato won't have a chance in the future, but he didn't expect that Aqua would be the first to get a familiar, especially since her luck score is probably the lowest in the guild.

But there is something strange about it.

The conditions for conquering familiars have not yet been fully listed. The only certain condition is that if too many monsters of this type are killed, the conquering event will never happen.

Just thinking about it makes me think that this condition is too harsh. Even if you try to repeatedly contact monsters that may become familiars, those monsters will usually attack on their own initiative, and there is no way to avoid fighting.

In other words, if you want to become a beast tamer, you must keep in contact with the target monster, and as long as there is no triggering event, you must escape without saying a word. It's easy to imagine how complex this work is.

Then Aqua...

That’s right! She never killed monsters!

In this way, it's not just monsters like Fei Yulong. The idiot goddess has not killed a single monster since the first level. She even participated in the BOSS strategy battle once on the fifth level, and she was still a bait!

Nani? If you don’t even kill monsters, are you a goddess? Ah, it's a goddess, that's okay. ...should it be said that fools are blessed?

Xiao Lin looked up to the sky and sighed.

He did the hard work, but Aqua took away all the benefits.

"Kobayashi Kobayashi."

"Yes, I am Xiaolin."

"Let's give it a name. The system prompts that once you give it a name, you can make it my familiar."

"Then you can choose a name. As for the name...it's up to you."

Xiao Lin was heartbroken and a little indifferent.

The stupid goddess was not angry because of his perfunctory behavior. After thinking for a long time, she finally made up her mind and said: "Emperor Zeer, his name is Emperor Zeer."

"Huh? Isn't that the name of the egg that's about to hatch?"

"It's a dragon! That's a dragon!"

Aqua opened her mouth and hugged Fei Yulong again - now it should be called Zeel Emperor, and said: "It is precisely because I can't take care of Zeel Emperor now that I gave it this name."

So that’s it, is that any consolation?

The egg bought by the idiot goddess was temporarily placed in Wiz's shop. When Barnier saw it at first, he was polite and asked why he brought a gift. But when he learned that Aqua had spent hundreds of millions to buy the egg, he was immediately shocked. Laughing loudly, and secretly injecting demonic power into it.

...that's too far.

In short, Aqua has a familiar, and has changed her job to a tamer in name.

"By the way! Aqua, how is its ability value?"

"Let me see."

Aqua began to check, and visualized the window for Xiaolin to see.

"Hmm... not bad."

The direct combat power of the familiar monsters is not too high, but you have to know that the familiar exists to protect the master. Their auxiliary ability is very strong, and they generally have multiple special abilities, and the same is true for the Emperor of Juer.

The ability to search for monsters that can detect the approach of monsters, the healing ability that can help the master recover a small amount of life, the ability to increase speed and strength, and the water attack skill - water bullet.

Seeing the last skill, Xiaolin suddenly understood why the two of them were so eye-catching.

"Xiaolin Xiaolin, look!"

"What?"

"——Flowers, birds, wind and moon!"

The flying feather dragon stood on the head of the stupid goddess, raised his head and sprayed water, while the stupid goddess took out two fans and posed in a funny way. I don't know how Aqua trained her, but Juerdi quickly understood her idea, and the two even performed their talents on the spot.

"...Don't always think about playing."

Kobayashi sighed.

Familiar...

A familiar is not a monster with a fixed level. It will also rise as the master's level rises. The only problem is that it will consume experience and slow down the master's upgrade speed. However, compared with the amplification effect it brings, it's no big deal if the level rises slowly.

And in this way, the safety of the stupid goddess can be guaranteed.

No, maybe she can join the strategy team and attack the BOSS with them! ...Forget it, with Aqua's attitude of resisting danger, it's too difficult for her to participate in the BOSS strategy battle. It's better for her to be a useless person.

Then, he saw it again--

"Come on, Juerdi, it's delicious."

Aqua took out a small bottle with a pointed mouth and pretended to pour it into Feiyulong's mouth. Kobayashi's eyes widened immediately.

"——Don't give monsters alcohol, you stupid goddess!"

This is not a familiar, this is a drinking buddy!

——————

When Aqua returned to the town with Feiyulong, it caused quite a commotion.

In SAO, the town is a safe zone, which means that monsters cannot enter the town without a special event - monster siege.

Although the combat power of the familiar is insufficient, it still has auxiliary capabilities, and many players are interested in Feiyulong.

"... In summary, I think not to attack this type of monster in large numbers is one of the necessary conditions for obtaining a familiar. As for what kind of monster can be a familiar, I don't know."

"I see."

Argo pretended to write and draw on a small notebook.

She came to collect information. As the most famous intelligence dealer in Aincrad, she rushed over as soon as Aqua returned with Feiyulong.

Kobayashi did not hide anything from his companions, comrades, and benefactors who helped him conquer the floor together. The main reason was that Kobayashi was not very clear about the conditions for subduing a familiar. They also stumbled upon it by accident, and it was Aqua who had this luck, which made Sato Kazuma, Megumin, Youyou, and Alice extremely envious.

After collecting the information, Argo did not keep it to himself, but spread it in Aincrad.

Unfortunately, the harsh conditions did not allow people to successfully subdue the familiar, and many people gave up. It was not until they conquered the 40th floor that they heard that someone had successfully subdued a familiar.
