Apocalyptic Crossover: Starting with a Guide to Winning Over Asuna

When Lu Xiao woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, and he was still a little sleepy.

However, Asuna was already outside calling people to get up and have breakfast.

Lu Xiao glanced at the bed sheet and noticed stains left from last night. After thinking for a moment, he rolled up the sheet, walked out of the room, and put it in the washing machine.

Asuna said, "It's okay, just leave it there, I'll take care of it myself."

If Asuna saw the bloodstains on the sheets, who knows what she might think, perhaps even believing that Lu Xiao was too impulsive.

"It's okay, I'll just wash it while I'm at it."

At this moment, Shino also came out of the room. Asuna's villa has many rooms, so there is no problem for a few more people to share the rooms.

Shino had dark circles under her eyes, clearly indicating she hadn't slept well the night before, or perhaps hadn't slept at all.

The way he walks is also a bit off.

"Shino, what's wrong?" Asuna asked with concern.

Sinon said calmly, "I sprained my ankle while fighting monsters yesterday. It's been a little uncomfortable walking, but I'll be fine after resting for a while."

"You can't be so careless in the future."

"Understood, Asuna-neechan." After saying that, Shino glanced at Lu Xiao, her eyes filled with a hint of resentment.

Lu Xiao shrugged. It was her own choice, and it had nothing to do with him.

Lu Xiao was happiest when his favorability rating reached 50, which boosted his combat power once again.

The two then sat down at the dinner table, but didn't exchange a single word. Shino blushed as she recalled what happened last night.

"I'm full, it's time for me to go back."

Shino picked up her rice bowl and went to the kitchen.

"Sino, have some more," Asuna said.

"No need, Asuna-neechan. I'm not very hungry, and I have some things to do back home."

"Then be careful on the road, and call me if you have any problems."

"Um."

Shi Nai walked past Lu Xiao, stomped on his foot, and then walked away gracefully, leaving Lu Xiao completely bewildered.

Lu Xiao glanced at Sinon's favorability rating towards Kirito.

[Shino's affection level towards Kirito is 88.]

Huh~ why did it drop? My affection for Kirito was 99 before.

Perhaps it was because of what happened last night that my favorability towards her decreased.

After Lu Xiao finished eating, he helped Asuna wash the dishes.

Asuna suddenly asked, "Did you hear anything last night?"

Lu Xiao scratched his head: "I slept very soundly last night and didn't hear anything. Were there any strange noises?"

Asuna blushed slightly: "It's nothing."

She breathed a sigh of relief. If Lu Xiao had heard about what happened last night, she would have been mortified.

In fact, Lu Xiao not only heard it, but also saw it.

After washing the dishes, Lu Xiao also took the bed sheets out of the washing machine to air them out.

Asuna's affection level +5, current total affection level 65.

My favorability rating has increased again; this meal was very rewarding.

"Alright, Asuna. Thank you for the dinner and breakfast."

"Okay, be careful on the road~"

Asuna waved and watched Lu Xiao leave.

Watching Lu Xiao's retreating figure, Asuna felt a flutter in her heart. For some reason, she had a special fondness for Lu Xiao.

This feeling of affection is just like when I first fell for Kirito. Could it be that I've fallen for Lu Xiao?

Asuna shook her head, quickly banishing the thought from her mind.

I have a boyfriend now, how can I fall for someone else?

But this feeling is really strange. It's not something you can just throw away. It seems that deep down, I'm even more looking forward to meeting Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao walked quickly home.

It's only a ten-minute walk. My area is just a wall away from the wealthy area, but the two places are worlds apart in terms of prosperity.

The neighborhood is quite chaotic, with monsters appearing and occasional robberies.

Two thugs were squatting not far away, one holding a knife and the other holding nunchucks, staring at Lu Xiao with ill intent.

Whenever Lu Xiao passed by them, he would inevitably try to extort money from them.

The main reason is that Lu Xiao looks very thin and is not very old, making him an easy target for robbery.

Lu Xiao glanced at the two men; one had a combat power of 10, and the other had a combat power of 12—they were just two weaklings.

In contrast, Lu Xiao's current combat power, boosted by 65% ​​Asuna and 50% Sinon, has soared to 199.

Lu Xiao naturally didn't take the two of them seriously and swaggered past them.

As expected, the two stood in front of Lu Xiao.

One person was playing with a fancy knife in front of Lu Xiao, while the other was swinging nunchucks.

"You know what we do without me having to tell you. Hand over all your money."

"Are you performing for money?"

The two of them were speechless upon hearing this.

"What kind of eyesight do you have? We're robbing you, hand over the money!"

"Oh, I see. Do you see that zombie over there?"

"So what if I saw it?"

Lu Xiao didn't say anything, but calmly picked up a stone and threw it at the zombie.

The stone flew out like a cannonball, blowing the zombie's head off.

This scene left the two of them completely dumbfounded.

"Brother, we're just street performers, you won't believe me, just watch!"

The two began to put on a great show in front of Lu Xiao. One of them was not very good with nunchucks and kept hitting himself in the face, but he still put on a great show.

"Oh, then you guys keep performing, I'll be going now."

"Big brother, you can go now, don't worry about us, hahaha~~"

The two men awkwardly smiled and watched Lu Xiao leave.

After Lu Xiao left, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's terrifying. I never expected that kid to be so capable. I misjudged him."

"Maybe we should stop doing this kind of thing. I heard there's a new underground city ruin up north. Why don't we go explore there?"

"Sure, nothing's easy to do these days."

After they finished speaking, the two left dejectedly.

Lu Xiao returned home and immediately lay down on the bed and fell fast asleep.

I overexerted myself last night and now I desperately need to sleep to recover. I feel fine, and nothing seems wrong.

Sinon was different; she walked with a limp.

I just don't know how to face Shino in the future, and what kind of relationship they should have.

Never mind, let nature take its course.

Lu Xiao fell asleep while thinking about it, and when he woke up it was already evening.

Waking up at this hour means tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

When he was bored, he turned on his computer to browse the latest news.

"The Hidden Leaf Village is holding an election for a new Hokage. Kakashi steps down as the Sixth Hokage, and Naruto Uzumaki becomes the Seventh Hokage!"

In the photo, Naruto is all smiles, with his wife Hinata Hyuga, son Boruto, and daughter Himawari Uzumaki beside him.

"The Red Fortress north of City X was attacked by Titans. The Wings of Liberty troops stationed at the Red Fortress, led by Levi and Mikasa, repelled the first wave of Titan attacks."

"The situation is not optimistic at present, and the giants may launch a second wave of attacks at any time."

"We urge any heroes who see this to go to the Red Fortress to provide support and help repel the giants' attack."
