Basically, there were only two situations in which Argo, the intelligence peddler, would take the initiative to contact someone.
One was that the client had completed the task.
The other was that the current task was related to Rhode.
Apart from these two possibilities, Argo would only take the initiative to contact the other party when he knew who needed the information the most when he received it.
Unfortunately, Rozen didn't ask Argo to investigate any information recently. Therefore, if Argo took the initiative to contact Rozen, it would either mean that she had important information to sell to him, or someone had asked her to contact him.
No matter what, Rozen didn't think it was a good thing.
Since that was the case, Rozen didn't need to be polite.
But …
"Well, don't be impatient, really."
Argo still had a cheeky smile on his face as he spoke.
"Let me treat you to a drink first. What do you want?"
With that said, Argo knocked on the table in front of him, and a menu window appeared in front of him. He then waved his hand, and the menu smoothly turned to Rozen, showing the content on it.
Normally, when a player visited a certain shop, an NPC waiter or the shop owner would personally ask "What do you need?". Only then would a menu window appear in front of the player for them to choose the service they wanted.
However, in some shops that didn't have an NPC waiter or had a special design, such as this shop, the NPC shopkeeper wouldn't personally come to ask. Players could only knock on the table and the menu would appear. After paying Cor, the requested item would immediately be sent to them.
The menu that appeared in front of Rozen had a variety of items with prices. However, there weren't any drinks. Almost all of them were alcohol.
Although it was a little embarrassing, after living for so long and visiting three worlds, Rozen's physical age had never exceeded 18 years old. Of course, he had never tasted alcohol, so he was still a little interested in it.
(Damn that Argo. He must have gotten this information from somewhere and used it to his advantage.)
Rozen looked at the smiling Argo with a displeased expression, and he immediately ordered the food.
"I want red wine, the most expensive kind."
Perhaps a high-end wine expert wouldn't order like this, but unfortunately, Rozen wasn't one of them, so he could only resort to clumsy revenge.
However, this was in exchange for a comment.
"Aren't you a little too cute? Zhenzhen? "
Argo snickered, causing Rozen's expression to become more and more unpleasant.
Rozen really wanted to say something like "Don't tease me" or "Don't call me Zhenzhen" to Argo, but with Rozen's understanding of Argo, he knew that Argo wouldn't take it seriously, so Rozen gave up.
Rozen opened the item bar and selected the item named 'Sweet Grass Honey'. After materializing it, a small bottle appeared in his hand.
"Come, Caidie, this is your share."
Rozen put the "sweet grass honey" on the table and opened the cork. Immediately, a fragrant aroma wafted out.
"Gooo!"
The Rainbow Butterfly, who had been perched on Rozen's shoulder, immediately cheered, flew out, and landed on the bottle. Although its body was much bigger than the bottle, it was light enough to stand on top of the bottle. Then, it put its long mouth into the bottle and sucked the nectar inside.
Seeing this, Argo's eyes widened.
"Isn't this something that only drops from the monsters in the Flower Valley, and it can be used to make high-level recovery potions? A bottle of super rare nectar worth 8000 Cor?"
Argo exclaimed in shock.
"You actually fed such an expensive item to your Tamed Monster? That's such a waste! "
Argo couldn't be blamed for making a fuss. 8000 Cor wasn't a small amount.
In SAO, the cheapest black bread cost only 1 Cor, and a beginner's weapon cost between 1000-3000 Cor. A good armor cost about 5000 Cor, and a weapon like Rozen's Anneal Sword, which belonged to the highest quest reward in the 1st Floor, cost about 15000 Cor in the market. Even the enhanced Anneal Sword + 8 only cost about 40000 to 50000.
On the other hand, the market price of Sweet Grass Honey was more than 7,000 Cor. Since Argo, as an information broker, raised the price to 8,000 Cor, it proved that this price should be the most suitable price at the moment. Gathering more than five bottles of Sweet Grass Honey was enough to match the price of Anneal Sword + 8.
Rozen actually fed such a rare item to his Tamed Monster?
How could Argo not be surprised?
But Argo didn't know that.
"Do you think Tamed Monster is a pet? You think you can just give them something to eat? " Rozen rolled his eyes and said, "Although tamed monsters aren't strong in direct combat, they have support abilities and special abilities. Although these abilities can be gradually unlocked as long as they level up, if they are fed with suitable rare items, there is a certain chance that they will be unlocked in advance, and new special abilities may even appear in the future. If you don't want to spend money, then just wait for them to become vulgar."
Hearing that, Argo felt relieved and thanked Rozen.
"Oh, I didn't expect there to be such a mechanism. This is really good information. I'll take it and find a chance to sell it to other Players who have Tamed Monsters in the future."
Argo's words almost made Rozen curse out loud.
How could he be so naive that he forgot that this guy in front of him was a profiteer who would sell any kind of information?
In order to learn this secret, he had to run several floors, complete several quests, and finally get this information from the NPC gardener. Yet, Argo just casually took it away and even planned to sell it at a high price in the future. Rozen couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
Of course, Rozen wasn't someone to be trifled with.
"Since you're willing to buy me a drink, isn't it because you accepted someone's request to persuade me to sell my things?"
Rozen looked at Argo and said.
"What does the person who asked you to do? My Tamed Monster? My weapon? Or the rare armor I'm wearing? "
The straightforward words froze Argo's smile on his face.
Looking at Rozen's expression, Argo raised his hand as if he was surrendering.
"As expected of Zhenzhen, you guessed my intention so easily."
In other words, someone did ask Argo to persuade Rozen to sell his things.
However, the person seemed to have a big appetite.
"He wants both your Tamed Monster and your weapon."
Argo's words made Rozen raise a brow.
"He wants both the tamed monster and the weapon?" Rozen was curious and asked, "What price is he going to offer?"
Argo immediately put up two fingers.
Of course, Rozen didn't think it meant 20000 Cor.
"200000 Cor."
Argo said word by word.
"He is willing to offer 200000 Cor."
