Chapter 732
The weather inside Aincrad is undoubtedly one of the best ever on record .
Like the real world, this game world had seasons as well . However, the weather inside here isn't as random as the weather in the real world . The weather is a bad girl, she didn't need permission from anybody . Seasonal shifts also happen so gradually one wouldn't normally notice it .
Unlike the real world, the weather in this world is determined by factors that were fixed from the start of the game . Somebody set a certain date up with a sunny sky and a rainy one the next day .
Due to this, a lot of players were expecting this great weather with this pattern in mind .
Even in the most desolate floors with ice everywhere, there will be brief sunlight and clear skies for that floor . On floors with perpetually beautiful weather, well, things are going to kick up a notch and the weather will be so fine it's like somebody glazed a layer of honey over the whole floor . The whole floor smelled like flowers and the breeze is just spectacular .
Aincrad, 22nd-floor, in front of the lake . . .
In casual clothes, Wu Yan was fishing while yawning in boredom . He looked at the scenic lake . In his vision, an indicator was floating up and down . Fishing is a test of patience, it also tested one's attention span . If that was the case, Wu Yan failed miserably because he's still yawning like nobody's business . He looked at the indicator from time to time but he's not too focused on it .
Nobody blamed him . The weather inside Aincrad is just too good, it's practically a sin for someone who favors sleeping to be awake right now!
Yet, here he is . . . fishing for a fish that won't bite .
Any fishing expert would judge Wu Yan poorly . If a player like him can get a fish, the price of fish would surely plummet .
And those people would have spoken too soon . If they saw the fishes swimming around in the pail beside Wu Yan, their jaws would drop to the ground . There were at least a dozen fishes in the pail and they were all beautiful catches too!
He is someone who can break the common sense of the "experts" .
While Wu Yan waited with a tired look, another fish got hooked . He casually pulled the fish up and he tossed it into the pail beside him . Wu Yan mumbled .
"I think that should be enough? . . . "
Wu Yan stored away his fishing rod and he picked up the pail beside him . He clicked invisible buttons and the pail disappeared in a flash of light . He had put the fishes away in his inventory
He shook the empty pail and he started moving in the direction of his home .

"I can just fish up some more, tomorrow . . . "
Wu Yan sounded so lazy, put a pillow on his face and you wouldn't be faulted for thinking he's just murmuring in his sleep . Wu Yan sounded unfazed . This is a man who used one year to max out his fishing skill .
That's right, one year has gone by since the raid players took down the 75th-floor boss!
In the span of one year, a lot transpired . Wu Yan is ignorant of most of the mundane stuff despite standing at the apex . He used most of his time grinding to make sure his strength doesn't fall relative to others . Other than that, the remainder of his time were spent with his wife and daughter . They lived like a happy family .
Like a hermit that distance himself from affairs of others, Wu Yan & Asuna were mostly clueless of the events that happened outside of their home . However, they both kept tabs on important events, only ignoring the useless news .
They were well-informed on the progress of the raid members, floor clears . For example, they are aware of cataclysm that fell upon the Divine Dragon Alliance .
This happened soon after the death of the 75th-floor boss . On the 76th-floor, the Dragons found the boss room ahead of others .
The guild leader at the time must have been high on virtual hashish or something . He omitted the discovery and he took his own elite team which made up half of his core members to try and take on the floor boss .

The bosses after the quarter-floor bosses were relatively easy in the past and they offered a very lucrative reward against risk ratio . Although the bosses were strong, they were nowhere near the strength of the quarter floor bosses .
They must have took a bet on this information and they wanted to hog the juicy loot . . .
Blinded by avarice, the Dragons challenged the floor boss . The rest was history . . .
Although the 76th-floor boss was weak, weaker than both the 74th-floor boss and the 75th-floor boss, it was still a formidable boss that posed a tremendous risk to any guild, much less an unprepared guild like the Dragons . What did they think was going to happen?
They weren't as lucky as the Army when they screwed up last time . Wu Yan and Asuna saved their butts . This time, everyone including the guild leader at the time died in the boss room . Having suffered a major blow like this, the Dragons bowed out just like the Army did in the past .
Presently, there are only the Knights of the Blood Oath, the Moonlit Black Cats, and Fuurinkazan on the frontlines . . .
Their mistakes taxed the clearers heavily . Signs of a feeble raid group emerged during the second raid on the 76-th floor . Wu Yan lent a helping hand and they slaughtered the floor boss . He unlocked the 77th-floor for all the players . Giving them some space to recoup lost strength .
The remaining three guilds were worth their salt . They tried even harder after rising beyond the 76-th floor . The Knights, the Cats, and Fuurinkazan expanded vigorously .

In the end, their fervent and undying passion accelerated allowed them to take down the 77th-floor, 78th-floor, and the 79th-floor without Wu Yan's help .
Heathcliff also stopped inviting Wu Yan after that point .
Wu Yan's relationship with the raid group went back to how it was in the past .
The two parties competed against each other .
Whoever found the floor boss first gets to kill it . Just like how things were before the 75th-floor .
The clearers made tremendous progress, that much was evident to anyone who observed them . Even after losing a clearing guild, they still pulled themselves together and they cleared floors after floors without Wu Yan's help . Asuna who went training with Wu Yan also picked up quite a few tricks from Wu Yan that made her a very skilled fighter .
In one year, the clearers took down floors after floors until they reached the stage that got all the players watching with heavy breathing . . .
The 98th-floor!
