Not only that, the real identities of Zhao Wu and Erya's game friends also come from the anime that Zhao Wu is familiar with.

Under the magical power of the game console, although Zhao Wu did not go to the world of those characters with Zhao Si, she had already come into contact with these characters she had liked for a long time in the game world.

It can be said that this is a big part of the reason why Zhao Wu is so obsessed with games.

"I didn't expect that it was Gabriel who got the closed beta qualification. But that's right. It was what surprised me that she didn't get the test qualification last time." Erya said.

As a close friend who plays games together, although Erya doesn't know Gabriel's background, he still knows the other person's personality very well.

In short, he is a lazy bastard. He would rather sweep the game than type it manually, and he speaks as if he has been up all night. He is extremely lazy.

From what she said, along with some other details, it was clear to Erya that she was someone who had no interest in anything other than gaming. It was understandable that anyone else didn't qualify for the test, but Gabriel definitely wouldn't miss out.

Well, it can only be said that it was late but it finally arrived. Gabriel did not miss the second closed beta test in the end. They had just left the birth point when they received Gabriel's friend request.

Should I say that she is worthy of it?

The two of them showed expressions of emotion one after another, and then began to slowly kill monsters.

After a long while, it stands to reason that with the map positioning and the fact that the two of them were leveling up not far from their birth point, it would only take them five minutes at most to walk there slowly.

However, by the time the two of them had reached level three, ten minutes had passed before they saw a slow figure walking towards them from afar.

She was a petite-looking girl. Judging from her figure alone, no one would be surprised if she was a junior high school student or even an elementary school student. Of course, the girl's real age was actually sixteen, a genuine high school student.

The girl had messy long golden hair and she kept yawning as she walked towards the two of them.

"Ah, long time no see, Xiaowu, Erya..." Gabriel greeted the two of them.

She did not call Zhao Wu and Erya by their game IDs, but directly said their real names. After all, they were all acquaintances and had told each other their real names.

And Gabriel, her real name is Gabriel.

"You're so slow. It takes you ten minutes to walk a distance that should take five minutes. I really don't know how you did it." Erya looked at Gabriel and said helplessly.

She considered herself to be a relatively lazy type, and Zhao Si often scolded her. However, compared to Gabriel, she felt that she might still be able to be saved.

"This is my first time in the game, so it's understandable that I waste a little time, right?" Gabriel said nonchalantly, and the reason did sound reasonable.

"Speaking of which, Gabriel, you didn't even qualify for the closed beta test..."

Zhao Wu looked at Gabriel curiously: "Could it be that he couldn't wake up?"

"Well...this..."

Upon hearing this, Gabriel's face instantly turned ugly.

As someone who can't live without games, how could she possibly want to miss the closed beta test of a game that can almost be called a groundbreaking game?

In fact, she had been sitting in front of the computer the day before the closed beta test qualification was available, but... plans cannot keep up with changes, and some things cannot be stopped by human power.

All in all, she failed to qualify for the first closed beta test, and even after that, she couldn't touch the computer for seven days.

For Gabriel, those were extremely dark days.

"Oh, let me think... could it be someone's sister coming to see her again? Wow, this is truly an enviable sisterhood."

Looking at Gabriel's expression, Erya, who had heard Gabriel complain before, instantly guessed the possibility and couldn't help but laugh.

As far as she knew, Gabriel had a sister, and if anyone could make Gabriel move, it would probably be the sister she was talking about.

As expected, after hearing Erya's words, Gabriel seemed to remember something terrible. He shuddered and said quickly, "Okay, stop talking. Let's go! Let's go! Let's go level up!"

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Wu and Erya to react, Gabriel picked up the novice sword in her hand and ran towards a monster not far away that was two levels higher than her.

If it is a normal game, then even if the player is a few levels lower than the monster in the early stage, if it is not a BOSS, then generally speaking, it is basically not difficult.

However, SAO was different; this game was quite difficult. Zhao Wu and Erya had already seen many players being knocked down by monsters while leveling up here.

Compared to the first closed beta, the difficulty this time seems to have been increased.

Sure enough, before long, they heard Gabriel's somewhat panicked cry.

"What?! Is this really a monster? Why does it have so much health!?" This was when Gabriel slashed at the monster and the damage showed up to be in single digits.

"Wow wow wow, are you kidding me? Half of my health is gone in an instant!?" This was when she was hit by a monster.

"Ahhh, help! Stop looking, both of you! Come and help!" Gabriel shouted at Zhao Wu and Erya while frantically dodging the attacks of wild monsters.

"Hey, here it comes."

They didn't have time to remind her at first, but now seeing Gabriel being tortured to death by the monsters, Zhao Wu and the others laughed out loud in an unkind way.

Although they were laughing, the two of them rushed forward and blocked the monsters' attack for Gabriel.

After the first closed beta test, it was found that this kind of monster was not difficult for the two of them and was the kind that could be easily defeated.

Soon, with the tacit cooperation of Zhao Wu and the others, the monster's health bar was reduced by most of it as if it had leaked air.

"Let me finish off the monster! Let me do it!" Gabriel shouted upon seeing this. Looking at the little monster's remaining health, she felt that she was fine again.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wu and Erya also stopped and let Gabriel go to finish off the enemy.

However, unlike those who were not aware of it, Gabriel felt that she could do it, and she really could. Her talent was not bad at all. After observing the techniques of Zhao Wu and Erya, she quickly found a way to deal with the monsters. Then, she took away the last bit of the monsters' health in just a few moves.

The monster turned into data fragments and disappeared, and Gabriel successfully upgraded to the next level.

"This game is pretty good. No wonder it calls itself a groundbreaking game. It's quite good." Gabriel nodded as he recalled the battle.

After saying that, she turned around and said, "Let's go, let's keep going. Let's...eh?"

As she was speaking, Gabriel suddenly realized that Zhao Wu and Erya had disappeared. She looked around but didn't see anyone.

"Ah this..."

After blinking to make sure that the two were really gone, Gabriel touched his chin and thought for a while, then opened the system's friend list.

Looking at the two friends' avatars that had gone dark, Gabriel's face first showed a hint of sudden realization, and then an expression of gloating appeared.

"Haha, I let you laugh at me, but how good are you?"

"Well done, Xiao Wu's elder brother!"

Chapter 456 Some Minor Changes After Recovery

The vast grassland before my eyes quickly disappeared after a moment's pause, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a red warning sign suddenly appeared in front of the two people who were still in a daze, and the system told Zhao Wu and Erya the reason for all this.

[Warning! Warning! The system terminal has been forcibly shut down and is currently disconnected from the server. The user will be logged out of the game ten seconds after the warning is issued!]

"No, this!"

Looking at the familiar scene in front of them, Zhao Wu and Erya were stunned. They were not unfamiliar with this scene, because basically, they would experience something similar to the situation in front of them every few days.

Logically speaking, they have experienced so much that they should be used to it. However, they both knew very well that it shouldn't be like this!

However, this was the fact. Under the astonished gazes of the two, the font on the virtual screen in front of them slowly disappeared, replaced by a ten-second countdown for forced escape.

Although sometimes, ten seconds can do a lot of things, for example, for Zhao Si, unless the opponent is at the same level or higher than him, ten seconds is enough for him to end any battle, and sometimes it even takes less than ten seconds.

For Zhao Wu and Erya at this moment, the ten-second countdown might only allow them to recover from their shock, and then they were forced to exit the game system.

"Well..."

With a soft moan, the two girls lying on the bed who had their VR devices taken off stood up almost at the same time, then suddenly opened their eyes and looked around.

When they saw the man holding their VR equipment and looking at them with a funny face, they were stunned at first, then their eyes widened, and they both shouted in disbelief:

"Zhao Si (Brother)!?"

"Xiao Wu, Erya."

Zhao Si looked at the two of them. Although when he entered the room he saw that they were the same as before, they seemed to be playing games all day long.

But in fact, on the way here, Zhao Si also learned from Kuang San that during his recovery period, the two of them did not spend too much time on the game. Just like everyone else, they cared about him no less.

Moreover, Kuang San also mentioned that before he came back, the two of them even gave up the game and other things, and waited in Kuang San's room like everyone else for Kuang San to bring Zhao Si back.

This behavior can be said to be that he cares about Zhao Si very much.

The reason why they started playing games again was mainly because after Zhao Si returned, the connection between Zhao Wu and Zhao Si was restored. She could clearly feel that Zhao Si's injuries were improving at a gratifying rate.

In view of this, the two people gradually put aside their worries, and with the news of the start of the second test of Sword Art Online, they resumed their previous lifestyle and plunged into the world of games again.

Listening to the familiar voice in his ears, coupled with the unfailing feeling in his heart, Zhao Wu finally believed that the person in front of him was indeed Zhao Si, and not that guy Qi Zui pretending to be Zhao Si as a prank.

"Wow, brother, your injury is finally healed?!" Thinking of this, Zhao Wu suddenly became excited, and jumped directly from the bed towards Zhao Si.

The two of them are one and the same, and Zhao Wu knows Zhao Si's situation very well. When Zhao Si just came back, she was really shocked. She never expected that Zhao Si was so seriously injured.

After that, she had been staying by Zhao Si's side, paying close attention to his recovery, until recently when she gradually began to feel relieved.

He reached out to catch Zhao Wu who was rushing towards him, and saw the girl hanging on Zhao Si like a sloth, looking at him with concern.

After touching Zhao Wu's head, Zhao Si looked at Erya who came to his side.

"Is he really recovered?"

With a hint of doubt and worry on his face, Erya looked at Zhao Si, and then according to his memory, he reached out his hand and tentatively patted a certain place on Zhao Si's body where he had a very serious injury.

"Snapped!"

The force was not great, but the sound was very crisp. After Erya finished shooting, he quickly looked at Zhao Si's face. His expression was a little nervous, and his eyes were closely watching the changes in Zhao Si's expression.

After a few seconds, Erya felt relieved when he saw that Zhao Si's expression did not change at all and he kept smiling.

It seems that everything is really fine...

Great.

A few minutes later, Zhao Si and Kuang San stood in the corridor outside Zhao Wu and Erya's room.

After taking a deep breath, Zhao Si had an inexplicable smile on his face.

"Haha, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao Si would have such a side to him. It's really surprising." A faint laugh came from Kuang San.

"A surprise? I feel okay." Hearing this, Zhao Si smiled.

There was no lengthy conversation. In fact, the two's initial reactions already reflected their concern for Zhao Si. After the initial joy, the two naturally recalled that they were playing games.

Then, their attitude towards Zhao Si changed.

In reality, Zhao Si had no real reason to unplug the two people's internet cables. Previously, he'd done it to prevent them from becoming too absorbed in gaming, but this time, he'd done it simply for the sake of getting them offline so he could meet them face to face.

The two women who reacted to this were naturally very angry.

Well, we were worried about you before, but now that you've recovered from your injury, you're here to pull out my internet cable?

Damn Zhao Si, die!

Faced with the angry Zhao Wu and Erya, Zhao Si, who was in the wrong, naturally had no choice but to retreat. He decisively returned the VR equipment to the two and then left their house like a flash.

But to be honest, this kind of thing was not something Zhao Si would do in the past, but this time, Zhao Si had such an idea and did it without hesitation.

To be honest, after finishing it, Zhao Si was a little surprised that he would actually do such a thing, but how to put it, well, after finishing it, he felt pretty good.

On the other side, Kuang San, who was beside Zhao Si, was looking at Zhao Si's profile, thinking about something in her mind.

Is this an illusion? Why does it always feel like Mr. Zhao Si now seems younger than before?

The youth here does not refer to youth in appearance, but youth in temperament and character.

Like what happened just now, Kuang San felt that even if Zhao Si unplugged Zhao Wu and Erya's network cables, he would have thought of a reason in advance to deal with the two of them.

But in fact, he didn't. He first admitted it directly, and then left amid the angry voices of the two people, and the smile on his face never stopped throughout the whole process.

These actions really resemble those of big boys who are deliberately making trouble, which is obviously inconsistent with Zhao Si's previous style which was obviously more mature.

Perhaps Mr. Zhao Si is undergoing some changes that he himself hasn't noticed...

Looking at Zhao Si, Kuang San couldn't help but think.

Chapter 457 The long-awaited meeting

After meeting Zhao Wu and Erya, Zhao Si and Erya walked around the house while chatting. However, strangely, after walking around, Zhao Si did not see any other people.

"Huh? Where did that kid Nanashi go?" Zhao Si asked.

"Nana Sin, she should be with Yui Miku now..." Kurumi said after thinking for a while.

"Mei...Jiu?" Zhao Si was stunned when he heard this, and the figure of the girl appeared in his mind.

Ah, yes, come to think of it, I seem to have broken my promise. I clearly promised to watch her game, but...

Thinking of this, Zhao Si couldn't help but sigh softly, his heart full of regret.

"Come to think of it, she seems to care about you, Mr. Zhao Si, too. After I brought her back, she didn't run away, but often went to Xiao Wu to ask about you..." Kuang San said as she looked at Zhao Si, and seeing that he looked pensive, she stopped talking.
