Chapter 16: You must be the famous Ben Zina!

"My lady, my name is Wenren Shengzai, and I can be considered as this guy's friend who grew up with him. Kirito's friends are my friends. If you want to borrow money, I can give you the maximum amount. And when you pay me back, I can accept it whether it's real money or SAO currency." Although the figure sitting next to Kirito was wrapped tightly in a cloak, Seiya knew the other person's identity very well. Not to mention that the other party is wearing a cloak now, even when the other party is not wearing clothes... ahem, the famous Ben Zina. In short, Seiya, who had read many of the other party's works, recognized the other party at a glance even though the other party was wearing a cloak that concealed his appearance and figure. “You’re willing to lend me money? And pay it back in real-world currency? Are you so sure that we can leave this death game in the future?" Asuna was also quite surprised to hear what Seiya said. From what those people said just now, it seems that borrowing money from Seiya also has a certain limit, and I have never heard that you can repay the debt with real money? If it were in the SAO world, perhaps it would be possible to sign a contract to prevent the other party from defaulting on the debt.

But if they can repay their debts with real money, then it means they can wait until they return to the real world to repay their debts. But when I return to the real world, won’t the other party be afraid that I will default on my debt? You have to know that the contract in the game world has no binding force on them who are able to return to the real world. “So didn’t I just say that Kirito’s friends are my friends? Since we are friends, I will naturally treat you specially. It’s okay for you to borrow any amount of money, as long as it is within my ability. As for your second question, my answer is that we will definitely be able to conquer this game and return to the real world. Don't ask me why I am so confident, because if I don't have this belief, then what's the point of lending money and whether I can get it back? " Are you kidding? Seiya knows that Asuna is a beautiful, rich and white lady in the real world. The possibility of her defaulting on her debt is close to zero. As for why he was so sure that they could go back, that was actually nonsense, because he was a time traveler. Of course, the reasoning given by Seiya now also convinced Asuna, and made her think that Seiya's actions also gave her the belief to persevere. Asuna also understood this feeling. After all, when she was first trapped in the game, she also went through a period of confusion. If you don’t know how to persevere, then just create the belief for yourself to persevere. In Asuna's opinion, the fact that Seiya lent so much money to others and returned to the real world alive to collect the debt was their motivation and belief to persevere. From Kirito's perspective, Seiya did this just to give him face, which made him feel a little guilty for having just stabbed his friend... no, his best friend. As for Seiya's inner thoughts, this is a rare rich man... a rich woman. Asuna is different from poor guy like Kirito. If he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune this time, he will be really sorry for himself. In a restaurant in Tolbana, Seiya, who was sitting opposite Asuna and Kirito, was speechless as he looked at them eating heartily. "So, the reason you want to borrow money from me is just to have a good meal?" Looking at Asuna in front of him, who was wearing a cloak and looked nothing like a young lady while eating, Seiya was speechless. A few minutes ago, Seiya thought he could make a fortune in the real world by lending Asuna a large sum of money.

But what he never expected was that the latter borrowed money from him not to strengthen himself and increase his chances of survival in this world, but simply to have a good meal. "Even if I'm killed now, I have no regrets..." Seeing Asuna, who had eaten enough food for several people and was fine, now leaning back in her chair and humming, Seiya's mouth twitched involuntarily. He always felt that the Ben Zina in front of him seemed a little different from what he remembered. It seems that Asuna is a foodie, but I haven't heard that she can eat so much. Seeing Seiya's mouth twitching, Asuna, who had finally had a full meal, finally realized that her behavior just now seemed a bit indecent. If she were at home in the past, she would definitely be blamed by her family for the way she ate. But now they were in the game, and Seiya and Kirito had just met today, so Asuna was obviously desperate and said, "Humph, if you eat that kind of hard, stone-like, tasteless black bread every day for a month, you will know how I feel. And although you can lend me a lot of money, I am just an acquaintance of your so-called friend.” As the eldest daughter of a married family, Asuna not only has a strong sense of moral integrity, but is also very well-educated. If it weren't for the black bread for a month, which was really unbearable for Asuna, she would not even ask others for money given her family education. In SAO, in addition to the combat mechanism, there are also some life mechanisms in order to more closely restore reality. If the character does not rest for a long time, fatigue will be generated. Similarly, if you do not eat regularly, a warning of low "satiety" will be generated. Once the "satiety" is below the critical point, the character will continue to lose blood and eventually die. The cheapest food in the game right now is the black bread that Asuna just ate. Although it can provide a certain degree of "satiety", it tastes very bad, just like eating a rag. Kirito was fine, but Asuna was originally a spoiled young lady, and she loved to indulge in delicious food. Eating this tasteless black bread for a month was undoubtedly a torture for her. So after borrowing money from Seiya, the first thing he did was not to buy equipment or anything, but to go out to eat. He was also extremely generous in treating his new creditor and teammate, Seiya and Kirito, to a meal. Because it is a complete dive, the five senses are controlled by the brain, so the sense of taste can naturally be restored in SAO, which is why Asuna just sighed. "Seiya, do you think this attack operation can go smoothly?" After eating and drinking his fill, Kirito seriously talked about the things that he cared about most.
