Chapter 672

After coming to an agreement on the arming deal, Kirito felt more invigorated .

He’s not excited about the weapon that will be produced . He just doesn’t like owing favors . His settlement with Wu Yan had to wait because Lis needed to grind up her skill levels . With that done, he can finally fulfill his end of the deal with Wu Yan .

If Kirito somehow obtained knowledge on the original work where he was the one who needed a second sword for his Dual Blades, how would he feel?

Most likely, he would feel relieved .

Kirito is someone who preferred not sticking out . As a beta tester and a solo player, if he had the Dual Blades, people are going to notice him and come bother him with requests and trouble . After obtaining Dual Blades, Kirito stored it away and he only used it when pushed into a corner by the floor boss of the 74th floor .

Compared to Kirito, Wu Yan is indifferent to this skill . He has no intention of hiding it . He’s already known as the Fae Swordsman, the trouble stemming from obtaining Dual Blades is nothing compared to the annoying people coming after him due to his fame as the Fae Swordsman . Moreover, Wu Yan is far stronger than Kirito, he’s more than capable enough to deal with opponents without relying on Dual Blades as a trump card .

Kirito exited the forge with Lis in tow . A beautiful girl b.u.mped into them near the door . Kirito and Lis stopped at once .

“Asuna!”

Lis tilted her head in slight puzzlement . She greeted her with a smile .

“You came too!”

“Eh?”

Asuna gasped when she saw Kirito here .

“Why are you here?”

“I have something to do here…”

Kirito scratched his cheek and he uttered an awkward laugh .

Outside of strategy meetings, Kirito rarely interacted with Asuna . Plus, they are always arguing over strategies although instances of that lessened recently due to a change in Asuna’s personality . However, Kirito is still not used to being around Asuna .

“Lis slapped Kirito’s shoulder .

“This guy is one of my best customers!”

“Oh, really?”

Asuna narrowed her eyes at both of them . She continued with an amused tone .

“I remembered how you contacted me to introduce Lis to you, I didn’t think you two would get so familiar with each other so soon…”

“It’s this guy’s fault for coming here every two days or so!”

Lis leered at Kirito .

“He kept pressing me to forge a good weapon for him . I just don’t get why he would need another weapon when he already has a solid weapon as his main weapon . ”

Kirito forced a smile onto his face but he kept his mouth shut . He didn’t want news of him losing a bet to get out . Lis a.s.sumed he wanted that weapon to keep as a backup weapon or something .

Asuna had a moment realization . She more or less knew about the bet between Wu Yan and Kirito . She also knows that Kirito is here on a request by Wu Yan .

Wu Yan put Kirito in a spot by asking him to contact Lis through Asuna . Asuna got back at him by forcefully asking for a generous amount of food materials . Of course, this is all thanks to a whistleblower named K-san .

When Asuna heard about Lis forging a weapon needed for Wu Yan, she got interested in it .

“What’s the latest update on that weapon?”

“We just need more materials!”

Lis pursed her lips .

“The material is exclusive to the 55th Floor…”

“The 55th floor…”

Asuna blinked and she turned towards Kirito .

“That shouldn’t be hard for you, right?”

“Of course, it’s not hard for me…”

Kirito breathed in deeply…

“I can’t say the same thing now…”

“What do you mean by that?!”

Lis yelled at Kirito with arms akimbo .

“Are you implying I’m going to weigh you down or something?”

“No, I didn’t say that…”

Kirito averted his gaze, a sign of his guilty conscience . Lis picked up on this and she knew this buster is lying to her face .

“You…”

“Wait!”
