"Yes!"
Silica charged forward with her dagger and successfully delivered the final blow to the low-health Moon Wolf.
Experience + 15
Experience + 15
A golden light flashed, and Silica successfully leveled up.
"Yay! Level 10! I can finally learn a new skill!" Silica danced with joy.
Ever since being trapped in the game, she had been following by Tenya's side, and unknowingly developed a reliance on him.
"Not bad, keep up the good work." Tenya's level also reached 16.
This leveling speed was far ahead of most players.
"Tenya is awesome."
Silica's face was red, it was easy to guess her thoughts.

"Silica is also awesome."
Tenya happily lifted Keiko in front of him.
"Tenya..."
"Don't treat me like a child!!"
Silica's face was flushed and her ears were red, her heart pounding.
At this moment, she was both happy and slightly unwilling.
"It's getting late."
"Let's go back to the city and resupply."
"And forge some new equipment while we're at it."
Tenya led Silica back to the main city.
After a week of panic, most players had accepted the reality of being trapped in the game world.
They pulled themselves together and started leveling up, collecting materials to forge equipment, and improving their characters.
After all, just as Akihiko said, when a character's HP drops to zero, their real body in reality will also die.
Under the threat of death, no one dared to underestimate the game in front of them.
...
Horuka Village, an inconspicuous small village, but near the mine, there is a blacksmith shop.
"Welcome..."
"Oh my! Isn't this Tenya-kun and Silica-chan?"
Lisbeth specialized in forging skills, and completing part-time tasks at the blacksmith shop can increase her skill proficiency.
Before, Tenya often came to the shop to forge equipment and sell some unused materials.
The two became familiar after a few interactions.
"Good evening, Liz-chan." Silica happily waved her hand.
"The usual, these are the materials for sale. Let me use the forging table." Tenya operated skillfully.
"Moon Wolf's Teeth * 30, Spiked Tail Wasp's Stingers * 50, Swamp Kobold's Skulls * 25..."
"The materials you guys farm are still as crazy as ever." Lisbeth's eyes widened.
"Most of it was farmed by Tenya."bSilica quickly waved her hand, looking a little embarrassed.
That was indeed the case. Her skills were more focused on support, and her combat power was only at a mediocre level.
"Speaking of which, your attack skills are so powerful."
"How is it that even your auxiliary forging skills are higher than mine?" Lisbeth found this incredible.
She seriously suspected that he was cheating.
"Yes, I am a cheater. I can leave the game anytime." Tenya spoke the truth.
"Tsk tsk! Bragging without thinking." Lisbeth rolled her eyes.
Now that all the players were trapped in the game and going crazy, if there was a way to return to reality, wouldn't they have already gone back?
Tenya didn't offer any further explanation. He took out the high-level materials he had collected, and started forging equipment.
Forging Skill
Transformed from his skill Item Creation.
Equivalent to the maximum level of forging in the game!
After a series of actions, a long samurai sword, entirely black, appeared on the forging table.
"Wow!"
"What kind of weapon is this?"
"The design is so imposing!"
Lisbeth's eyes lit up.
Players can forge weapons with different appearances according to their preferences.
Tenya used the appearance of the first generation Zangetsu as a reference to forge the katana.
"What a cool weapon! Tenya, does this sword have a name?" Silica asked curiously.
Weapons forged by players themselves have the right to be named.
"Let's call it Zangetsu." Tenya showed a satisfied smile.
Although the first generation Zangetsu's power couldn't be compared to the real dual blade Zangetsu, in terms of aesthetic appearance alone, the first generation Zangetsu was indeed excellent.
Playing games, the most important thing is to be happy!
"Tsk tsk! Your Zangetsu..."
"The boosts to Strength and Agility attributes are impeccable, it can be called rare equipment."
Lisbeth checked Zangetsu's equipment bonuses through the weapon appraisal skill.
"Oh right, I still need more Obsidian Ore."
"If any players come to sell it, help me keep it first."
Tenya said this while throwing a bag of coins onto the counter.
"How do I feel like your money just fell from the sky?"
"Besides, don't you already have a weapon?"
"What do you need so much Obsidian Ore for?"
Lisbeth expressed her inability to understand.
"Because I am a Two-Sword Style user." Tenya spoke the truth.
He was also preparing to forge a second Zangetsu.
"Really?"
"I've never heard of any player dual wielding." Lisbeth's eyes were suspicious.
According to the game settings, players can only equip one weapon. Even if they hold different weapons in both hands, they won't get corresponding attribute bonuses, and some combat skills can't even be used.
"Two-Sword Style is a hidden exclusive skill in Aincrad. The game backend will automatically grant it to the strongest swordsman player."
Kirito in the original story was granted the unique exclusive Two-Sword Style skill.
However, Tenya's existence was not affected by the game settings.
"So that's it..."
"That's important information I haven't heard of."
Lisbeth nodded seriously, preparing to keep her mouth shut.
"Silica leveled up to 10 today, I'm going to update her entire set of equipment."
Tenya forged a set of six items: weapon, armor, shoes, belt, hairband, and pendant.
Silica's overall attributes had a qualitative improvement.
"Tenya!"
"You're so awesome."
In her joy, Silica stood on her tiptoes and lightly peck his cheek.
