Chapter 649
Towards the Southwestern corner of this floor lies a very beautiful coniferous .
The trees are very evenly s.p.a.ced, there’s a quaint path here leading to four different directions . It’s a forest but the design of this place was clearly artificial in nature . It’s like somebody spent an absurd amount of time to make this place very picture-esque . The architect of this floor did a pretty good job of making a scenic floor .
There are hamlets here . Lakes and hills blended perfectly to form a floor that players can enjoy aesthetically . This floor was an art in and of itself . It’s a hidden utopia waiting to be discovered . A marvel of nature that would be very hard to find on earth today .
With the trees, hills, and the lakes as partners, the residents here must be very tranquil and at peace . This kind of place is something one can only find in a game world like SAO .
In the original work, Kirito bought a log house on this floor . He brought his fiancee over to this floor so they can live together . This place is just that gorgeous .
Anyway, Wu Yan bought the log house here .
He is a lone wolf . From the start of this game, excluding his a.s.sociation with the Black Cats, he never partied with other players . After he became famous, he became even more lonesome .
Famous people hate noises the most . Wu Yan was afraid that the other players would sniff him out if he stayed in towns . This is a.s.suming that he departed early in the morning and returned late in the night . He reckons that trouble wouldn’t stop appearing if someone figured out his ident.i.ty .
Thus, Wu Yan chose the most scenic and peaceful place he can remember from the original work . After clearing the 21st floor, Wu Yan spent a lot of effort to complete the quest required to buy this house .
He spent this one year alone in this log house . But, he wasn’t complaining, the scenery was worth every Cors he paid . He felt no loneliness or dissatisfaction with this place . Wu Yan loved the silence, serenity, and beauty here . Wu Yan decided that he wasn’t going to change his home until the end of SAO .
Finally, his log house welcomed the first guest since its master first bought this log house .
Wu Yan walked on the quaint path without feeling anything, he’s already used to the scenery here . Meanwhile, Asuna can’t help revealing her googly eyes at the wonderful view here .
Wu Yan also behaved like Asuna when he first arrived here . It’s just that beautiful here . He’s been to multiple worlds and sights like the ones here are rare even in other worlds .
Gensokyo is probably as beautiful as this but Wu Yan hasn’t been there so he couldn’t make an accurate comparison .
Asuna didn’t have her own place, she lived in the castle owned by the KoB . Hence, the two decided to use Wu Yan’s house as the venue for the cook-off .
Wu Yan wasn’t planning on bringing Asuna over to this place . In the original work, this was the love nest of Kirito and Asuna . It felt weird inviting Asuna here, but, this beats having a cook-off over at the KoB’s HQ so Wu Yan just accepted this situation as the better alternative .
Asuna is very intrigued by Wu Yan’s home . This is the home of the strongest and most mysterious player in SAO . n.o.body found out about his home even after searching far and wide for Wu Yan . Naturally, she’s curious about what home Wu Yan chose . She wasn’t expecting this place to be this captivating . She got dominated by the pristine environment here almost immediately upon exposure .
The quaint path was made with cute planks as the small path sprawled along the forest around it . The two walked for about 15 minutes before this lovely path ended and a log house appeared in front of the two .
They are now at Wu Yan’s home .
Wu Yan laughed as he introduced Asuna to his home .
“Be proud, you’re the first guest here…”
“The first guest?”
Asuna can’t help but gasp at his introduction .
“You never had people over before?”
“Nope . ”
Wu Yan continued .
“This is the only place where I can calm down and have my own quiet time . If word ever gets out, I am going to lose a very significant portion of my peaceful time . I don’t want this tranquility to be disturbed…”
Asuna nodded as she can completely empathize with him . She also wanted a life like this . She also agreed with the notion to preserve the peace and quiet here .
The two walked up a flight of stairs at the porch and they arrived at the door of the house .
Wu Yan pushed open the door and he gestured for Asuna to enter .
“Welcome to my humble abode . ”
“So-sorry for intruding…”
Asuna looked a little tense . It seems this is the first time she entered the home of another player . She kept looking around awkwardly before entering the house .
The log house didn’t have a large living room . It’s slightly bigger than an average living room and that’s it . The basic amenities are here though, things like a sofa, bonsai plants, tables, furniture, and other decorations . In short, it looked like a home . Inside the house, there’s a well-equipped kitchen . It’s evident that the master of this house spent a large portion of his attention and energy on making sure the kitchen s.h.i.+ned .
There are windows around the same height as an average human situated at certain intervals along the wall . The warm sunlight entered the house through this window as a slight breeze made the curtain flutter . It’s a very nice and cozy house . The charm tug at one’s heartstrings .
Charmed by what she saw, Asuna fell in love with this home as she took in the sight with her hands on her chest .
She looked at the living room, and through the windows here, she could see the majestic lake, the lofty hills, and the blue sky .
Far away, the stone spire that pierced the heavens stood proudly in contrast with the natural beauty here . For the first time, the stone spire of despair looked very beautiful to Asuna .
“It’s so pretty… so exquisite…”
Asuna can’t help but leak out her honest thoughts . When she returned to her senses, she was already standing near the window, gazing at the fantastic view outside . The more Asuna looked, the more she wanted to stay…
“How about it? Pretty good right?”
Wu Yan modified this place to suit his taste, he spent a lot of Cors, gave up about three days of grinding to furnish this place . Although he wasn’t planning on bringing people over, he felt joy at sharing this beautiful sight with someone else .
Asuna didn’t bicker with Wu Yan for once . She nodded and all thoughts of fighting flew away from her mind . She also basked in the splendid view here, despite currently being in the same room as her “enemy” . Wu Yan smiled with amus.e.m.e.nt .
Girls are more attuned to beautiful sights like the one here, I see she’s already enamored with the scenery here .
