Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Kirito thought a lot after retracting his leg.

Anyway, he's determined to find Little Fatty Dragon, otherwise he'll let her stay here and cause trouble for other players.

Wouldn't that mean SAO would be completely stuck at the sixteenth floor?

As the administrator of SAO, this matter must be dealt with thoroughly!

Think quickly, Kirito, and come up with a way to solve the current predicament. I believe you can do it with your wisdom.

The methods of "breaking in" and "going in to talk" are no longer effective; we need to think of other ways.

Soon after, Kirito's eyes lit up: "I've got it!"

Since neither negotiation nor fighting will get us in, we might as well not go in at all.

How can you get the little fat dragon out if you can't get inside?

The answer is: Let the other person take the initiative!

If I remember correctly, Kanna had a very strong appetite in the original anime. She would eat anything that looked edible, not just cicadas in the trees or crabs on the beach.

If the protagonist of Man vs. Wild were changed from Bear Grylls to Fat Dragon, I think it would feel perfectly natural.

Without further ado, Kirito took a few steps back and then opened the 'food' section in his backpack.

In an instant, a wide variety of foods and ingredients appeared before my eyes in the form of data.

All of these were carefully selected by Kirito. Every now and then, he would bring some premium ingredients to see Asuna, satisfying his own appetite and then going on a date.

Huh? Why does that sound a bit strange?

Forget it, let's deal with the immediate problem first.

Click on [Thunder Dragon Spine Meat], and the next second a piece of meat the size of a cow's leg will appear in Kirito's hand.

This is the reward he received after defeating the elite monster on this floor.

The meat chunks are thick and long, with clear snowflake-like patterns visible in the cross-section. The deep purplish-red muscle fibers resemble a fine network, interspersed with silvery-white layers of fat.

As a special ingredient in SAO, it naturally has its own unique characteristics.

If you look closely, the fat will shimmer with a bluish-green electric light under the light, and it will flow slowly with the slight trembling of the flesh, like a living current.

Asuna's cooking is absolutely delicious.

Kirito's throat bobbed at this thought, but he quickly shook his head.

Ingredients can be obtained again, but the longer the crisis in SAO remains unresolved, the longer we will miss the chance to encounter new ingredients.

As the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new.

Kirito gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with determination, and with a burst of strength in his right hand, he threw the ingredients in his hand away.

"Please, I'm placing all my hopes on you!"

The Thunder Dragon's spine spun in the air, arcing towards the pink figure.

After passing through the BOSS circle, no lightning struck.

Tongren was overjoyed.

Just as the chunk of meat was about to reach the little fat dragon, Kanna's eyes lit up. She stood up, turned her head, locked onto the air, and then pounced on it like a hungry tiger.

From Kirito's perspective, the little fat dragon opened its mouth to a degree that no ordinary person could do after jumping, then bit the piece of meat and swallowed it in one go, without even chewing it in its mouth.

Is this scientific?

That's a piece of meat the size of a cow's leg, enough to last you several days, and you swallowed it whole? You even chewed it!

Oh, so the other side is using magic. That's alright then.

After landing, Kanna did not sit back down. Instead, she stood there, staring sharply at the person who had fed her.

That look seemed to be telling itself: I'm ready, you can continue!

"It seems... everything is going according to plan?"

Kirito then continued clicking on the ingredients:

[Chimera Fruit] Obtained after defeating the 'Predatory Plant Chimera Giant Flower'. Although the monster itself is extremely ugly, the fruit it produces is exceptionally sweet.

But it was no longer related to him, Kirito threw it away with tears in his eyes.

Sure enough, the little fat dragon was attracted again, pounced forward and swallowed it whole.

Kirito clicked his tongue in surprise; the bait wasn't enough to lure the opponent out completely.

Next up are [Fantasy Beast Steamed Egg Custard], [Gemstone Nuts], [Lava Cheese]...

Although it hurt, there was nothing Kirito could do, and he continued with tears in his eyes.

As he continued to work hard, the little fat dragon pounced forward one after another, constantly shortening the distance between the two, until finally he jumped out of the BOSS circle, and the petite loli was standing in front of him.

With his left index finger touching the corner of his mouth, his questioning gaze seemed to say: Is there more? Give me some more!

Kirito stood opposite her, looking down at her because of the height difference.

"First, let me introduce myself. I am Kirito, and I am considered the guardian of this place."

"Kanna Kobayashi, nice to meet you~"

It even bowed politely. Was this all thanks to Kobayashi? He actually taught the dragon human etiquette.

Then the two fell silent.

Kirito deliberately didn't speak first, and looked at the other person with a sharp look, trying to make the other person understand: You're in trouble!

But Kanna remained unmoved, as if she wasn't the one being stared at.

Seeing that the humans in front of her seemed to have stopped feeding her, she turned to go back.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"and many more!"

Kirito lost the staring contest, but having finally lured her out, how could he let her leave so easily?

Kirito cuts straight to the point: "I do have something very important to tell you!"

Kanna stopped, turned around, and still had a blank expression.

In her mind, the other person was the one feeding her, and listening to what the other person said might get her more food.

Kirito pointed to where the other person had started: "Why have you been staying there?"

"Because it needs to be charged."

"Then why choose that place?"

"The electricity is stronger there."

"Can't I charge it elsewhere?"

"That place is better."

It seems the conversation has stalled; the other party has already decided on that location.

Perhaps it was because of the BOSS, or perhaps it was because of the terrain, but in any case, she had completely decided that place was her charging station.

"Then how can you leave that place?"

"Why are you leaving?"

Kirito patiently explained, "Because it's not your house after all, it's bound to cause trouble for people if you keep staying there."

But it doesn't care~

"Who?" Kirito asked, puzzled.

Kanna pointed to the standing BOSS, the Thunder Dragon, as if she regarded it as the master of this place.

Kirito choked up.

Yes, the host of the house hasn't said anything, yet you're complaining about the trouble.

What a fart!

It would be a miracle if the boss could talk!

Kirito continued patiently, "You may not know this, but that big guy is not actually the same race as you, and he's not even a living being."

After all, they are from the Thunder Clan, Kirito thought to himself.

"Is that right?"

Kanna knew a little about these things; after all, she had been sitting across from him for half a day, so it was impossible for her to know nothing about them.

“That’s right.” Kirito explained step by step: “That’s why it doesn’t care about your existence, but that guy is someone we need to eliminate, and you’ll be in the way when that happens.”

"That's it."

For the first time, Kanna's expression changed; she seemed troubled, but overall she remained adorably dazed.

"But if I don't charge it, I'll get hungry."

"That's easy," Kirito said with a smile. "You're just hungry. I'll take care of feeding you for the next few days, until the BOSS is captured!"

These bold words made Kanna's eyes widen slightly.

But what Kirito didn't know was how much trouble this promise would bring him...
