DanMachi, My Members Are From Slice-of-Life Anime

"Don't stop me, I'm going to do manual labor! Waaah! I'm not sleeping, I'm going to work hard!"

A tremendous surge of enthusiasm erupted in the town of Beginning.

Cheng Hui pushed up her glasses: "Make preparations, send someone to the second floor to purchase equipment, and then it's almost time for the strategy team to set off."

"Let's take care of all the tasks on the first level!"

Xiao knelt on one knee and replied, "Yes!"

The next moment, he disappeared from the spot.

On a farm outside the town, a handsome young man with dark hair sneezed.

"Tsk, why do I feel like someone stole my things?"

Muttering to himself, he finished his task and received the recipe for making cream.

"This way, the black bread won't taste so bad, hehe."

In the maze.

Xia Jia put the Midnight Coat from her backpack on Yuki.

"this?"

Xia Jia said seriously, "Don't you guys think Yuki looks especially handsome in this outfit?"

Asuna nodded: "Yeah, much cooler than the muddy coat the captain is wearing!"

Mitt sat on the ground and said seriously:

"At this stage, we can't master advanced sword skills too quickly, so for the lords to come, the main damage dealer will still be Yuuki. It's a very strong piece of equipment, and it's most suitable for Yuuki."

Xia Jia glances sideways: It has to be you again, closed beta player!

Yuuki rubbed her nose and flashed a peace sign: "Hehe, then leave it to me! I'll definitely get everyone out of here!"

Chapter 473 Bursting Cream

The group adjusted their equipment and followed the steps to the upper level, freeing up the teleportation point leading to the second level.

Xia Jia suggested, "Let's go back to the starting town via the teleportation array first. There are still quite a few world bosses worth killing on the first floor. By now, the closed beta testers should have marked the locations and positions."

Having completed the first floor's strategy, the teleportation points to all the towns on this floor have been unlocked, allowing players to travel to the second floor via the teleportation devices within the towns.

Mitt agreed, "Our level is at a disadvantage compared to the other floors, and we also need some monsters to replenish our experience points."

Yuki, however, saw through Shaka's true intention: "Aren't you coming with us?"

Xia Jia smiled and said, "I'll take a quick look around the second floor. More than leveling up, I hope to improve my own strength through this game."

After the previous boss battle, he unexpectedly discovered the purpose of this game.

The essence of SAO is to alter the five senses to allow players to enter a fully immersive state, which is essentially no different from locking down the five senses.

Of these false senses, only the sixth sense can affect the real one. The warnings from danger allow him to further master his sixth sense.

Asuna was a little worried about Shaka acting alone. After all, SAO is a game that relies on stats, and if you encounter an overwhelming stat advantage, you might make a mistake even if you rely solely on skill.

But recalling that Shaga seemed to have broken through the system's limitations and overcome the paralysis, she smiled instead:

"We understand. We will upgrade our level as soon as possible and won't hold you back."

Xia Jia put her hands in her pockets and said, "Don't push yourself. Look, Mitt can't take it anymore. Take a rest. I have some things to talk to Cheng Hui about later."

……

The three separated temporarily, and Shaka went to the town on the second level alone.

The second layer is an environment mainly consisting of wastelands and grasslands, and the monsters are mostly bulls... well, the kind of purebred bulls that walk on all fours.

Besides that, there are bees.

It's worth mentioning that these bees will attack the bulls, causing them to go berserk, and if you're not careful, it could lead to the annihilation of the entire group.

With her eyes covered, Xia Jia quietly sensed the changes in her environment, nimbly traversing the map. Upon encountering a monster, her sixth sense accurately detected the impending danger, and with a single slash, she cut off a third of a giant bull's health bar.

He immediately turned around, swung his sword, and lunged forward, unleashing a rapid double slash that emptied the monster's health bar.

Xia Jia watched as his experience points increased slightly and sighed, "It's only the second level; fighting opponents of higher levels is no longer an option."

In fact, the monsters didn't exceed level 15 until the fifth floor. The month-long delay in the original story did allow the strategy team to accumulate a lot of experience.

As a result, the progress of the walkthrough was very fast up to floor 50.

Xia Jia opened her backpack and was surprised to find some strange items lying in the corner.

"Milk? Honey? And cream?! A cow that can burst with cream, isn't that a bit strange..." Xia Jia's face lit up with joy.

The first layer of black bread was quite unpalatable, but I never expected to find these seasonings falling directly from the second layer.

But then his expression turned strange...

"Where did this cream come from? Ugh, it's kind of disgusting." Xia Jia looked at the glass jar in front of her with disdain, feeling uncomfortable with the strange drop rules of the online game.

but……

"In this way, Cheng Hui shouldn't have to worry about the players' mental health anymore. They won't have to eat dry, hard black bread anymore."

Xia Jia put away his items and prepared to return to the town of beginnings.

Activating the transfer crystal purchased from the shop, Shaga returned to the second floor and strolled around the nearby shops. To her surprise, she saw that the shops were no longer selling black bread, but bread instead.

"Exploring new lands can indeed bring a lot of different experiences!"

Shaka became even more determined to liberate more floors as soon as possible. He carried the bread he had prepared for Asuna and Yuuki, passed through the portal, and returned to the Town of Beginnings.

……

Inside the temporary guild camp, Xia Jia found Cheng Hui, who was arranging player activities.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you busy with these trivial matters. You must really want to level up, right?" Shaga casually tossed a piece of bread to him and said, "Try this, it's a perk for pioneering."

Cheng Hui looked at the bread in her hand in surprise, and after breaking it open, she saw rich cream.

After giving half of the bread to Xiao, who was relaying messages, he took a bite himself: "Hmm~~, not bad. It's not bad to be able to solve the food problem on the second day."

While enjoying his food, he casually remarked, "A closed beta tester previously found the quest to obtain cream on the first floor, but that quest was quite difficult and not widely available. You've solved the problem for me here."

"As for my upgrade, it's not too late to wait until everyone settles down."

"Oh?" Shaga asked curiously, "Has anyone already been able to complete that kind of task?"

Cheng Hui chuckled and said, "He's a very shy boy. Heh, he always acts like he's not for strangers, but he's actually quite eager to team up with someone."

Xia Jia laughed and said, "Ah, I get it, I get it! Fourteen-year-old boys always think it's cool to be alone. Now when I sheathe my sword, I subconsciously turn around or put my hands in my pockets with my back turned!"

Cheng Hui chuckled and said, "You? I don't see why you would be interested in becoming the leader of those special police officers at this age."

Xia Jia shrugged: "Sigh, it's all because of the pressures of life."

After a lighthearted remark, Xia Jia said seriously, "We can send people to explore the safe towns on the second level. The recovered funds can also be used to purchase some equipment for the upper levels."

"By the way, how's the strategy team's progress?"

Cheng Hui pushed up her glasses and rummaged through the pile of documents for a moment: "The average level of the strategy team has reached level 4. With highly enhanced equipment of uniform configuration, their leveling efficiency is very fast. I estimate that they will reach level 8 by this time tomorrow."

"The players in the second phase are also equipped with heavy armor. I had them team up and go outside to find wild boars to practice their skills."

“Mid-level players, don’t let them take too many risks. Remember to always maintain a numerical advantage,” Xia Jia said thoughtfully.

"As for the closed beta testers, let them go to the second level after they reach level 8. The monsters there drop honey and cream. Let's stabilize the emotions of ordinary people for now."

"I will open the third level before you have finished exploring the second level."

Cheng Hui nodded, putting the exploration of the second floor on the agenda. These new floors have many tasks that can be given to each player once, and completing them will reward them with a large amount of resources.

The strategy is progressing steadily.

……

the other side.

Kirito sneezed, then used the cream he obtained from the mission to spread on black bread before distributing it to the hundred people who had contributed the most the previous day.

After finishing everything, he sneezed, feeling uneasy as if someone had stolen his thunder.

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out from behind.

"Kirito-kun!"

A timid girl with short black hair jogged forward. "Shall we go?"

"Okay. Sachi." Kirito chuckled and put the cream away.

His task was to lead the other players to complete the farm tasks, and this time it was the turn of the girl's small group.

Chapter 474 What are you doing?

After leaving Cheng Hui's camp, Xia Jia turned on her communicator and quickly contacted Yuki.

I saw them again in front of a weapons shop.

At this point, Yuuki's equipment had been replaced and was being upgraded again.
