A Different Protagonist, but the Perks Never Change!...

Aincrad, Floor 74, Camdetto...

After stepping out of the teleport gate, Wu Yan yawned and stood in front of the platform, waiting for Asuna to arrive...

Last night, the two of them had wiped out an entire feast centered around an S-Rank Super Rare Ingredient. Afterwards, Wu Yan had arranged a time to meet Asuna today before escorting her back to her home in Selmburg on Floor 61...

Originally, Wu Yan was already running a little late because he had slept in, well past their appointed time. After arriving here, he had been prepared to receive Asuna's scolding, only to find no one there. That left Wu Yan rather surprised.

Asuna was not the kind of person who broke appointments. Whenever they arranged to meet, Asuna usually arrived on time. She was the kind of person who would rather arrive early than be late, and she had never once failed to show up after the agreed time.

Could she have gotten angry because he was late and left?

Thinking that, Wu Yan glanced at his party interface, opened his personal interface, and began tracking Asuna's location. In SAO, there was no time limit on parties. If two people wanted to, they could remain in a party forever. Since forming a party with Asuna last night, neither of them had left it, and members of the same party could track one another's locations.

It was not just parties either. Players who had registered each other as friends could also track their friends' locations. That was why friend registration in SAO was so important. If someone carelessly registered a person with malicious intentions, it was equivalent to exposing their location to that person at all times. For players in this dangerous world, that was no laughing matter...

Take Wu Yan, for instance.
