It's not like Rozen couldn't understand what Argo said.
In other words …
"Tamed monster and weapon, even if it's only one of them, it's not bad if you can get it … That's what you mean, right?"
Rozen said to Argo, and Argo gave him a thumbs up.
Rozen had only one thought in his mind.
"What a stubborn guy …"
Rozen murmured and then asked without any interest.
"What does he want?"
Although he asked that, Rozen knew what Argo wanted.
"Tamed monster, right?"
There was no doubt about it.
Although Anneal Sword + 8 was indeed very powerful, and it could be used up to the mid-stage of the 4th Floor, it was still an early-stage equipment at best. From the 5th Floor onward, there would be a weapon with higher performance than Anneal Sword + 8, and it was still an unenhanced weapon.
For now, Rozen's Anneal Sword + 8 was indeed one of the best weapons among the Players, but in terms of potential, it didn't have much, or it could even be said to be completely useless.
After all, Anneal Sword had been strengthened eight times, and it couldn't be strengthened anymore.
Compared to weapons, Tamed Monsters had higher potential.
Even if it depended on the species and rarity, Tamed Monsters could level up and unlock skills just like the players. Even if their potential was low, they would still be useful in the early stages of the game. Players would never think of abandoning their Tamed Monsters until they reached the 50th floor.
Not to mention, there were only seven Rainbow Butterflies in all of SAO. Not to mention, Rainbow Butterflies were a super rare species. Not to mention using them above Floor 50, as long as they were trained properly and were willing to invest in them, they could be used until the end of the game.
Even if Argo didn't know the rarity of Rainbow Butterflies, Tamed Monsters were very precious. Even during the closed beta, Rozen was the only one who got a Tamed Monster. It was imaginable how valuable Tamed Monsters were.
At least, if it was Rozen, he would definitely choose Tamed Monsters instead of choosing a weapon that lost its value in the early stage of the game.
However …
"You guessed it wrong again. Really."
Argo said with a smile.
"He's not after your tamed monster, but your weapon."
The unexpected choice made Rozen fall into a daze again.
"You don't want tamed monsters? You want weapons?"
This time, Rozen was really confused.
Last time, Rozen had guessed that the other party was a party leader, which was why he could take out so much money. In the end, however, he had guessed wrong.
This time, Rozen guessed that Rozen wanted a more precious and powerful familiar, but he guessed wrong again.
For Rozen, who had always been good at scheming, this was something that could not be rarer.
Once was fine, but he actually guessed wrong twice. What kind of person was he?
Rozen's mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
In fact, Rozen even wanted to buy Argo's information on him.
However, this was an unwise move.
If Argo really did not want Rozen to know about him, he would keep increasing the price so that Rozen could not buy the intel.
If Argo thought that it would be fine even if his identity was exposed, then even if Rozen spent money to buy the intel, the final result would not be a big deal.
"This is getting interesting …"
The corner of Rozen's mouth slowly curled up.
Anyone who was familiar with Rozen would know that it was a sign that Rozen was interested in something.
Of course, Rozen did not say it out loud.
He only looked at Argo and asked with interest.
"What's the price?"
Argo answered Rozen's question without hesitation.
"60000 Cor."
Argo knocked on the table in front of him as if he was buying something, and spoke in a rather heroic manner.
"If you want to sell it, the other party is willing to buy it from you for 60000 Cor."
That was another unexpected number.
As mentioned before, a high-performance weapon like Anneal Sword was priced around 15000 Cor in the market, while a fully enhanced Anneal Sword + 8 was priced between 40000 to 50000 Cor, depending on the strengthening parameters.
Rozen's Anneal Sword + 8 (4S2Q2D)'s strengthening parameters were Sharpness + 4, Speed + 2, and Durability + 2. With those strengthening parameters, he could easily sell it for 50000 Cor.
In other words, 50000 Cor was also the limit of Anneal Sword + 8.
But the other party offered 60000 Cor?
There was obviously something wrong with that, right?
Unless the other party was a brainless player or a weapon fanatic, there was no way he would offer that much.
Would a brainless player be able to earn 60000 Cor, or even 200000 Cor like the previous players? Would they be able to earn as much money as they could?
Obviously not.
As for a weapon fanatic, that possibility could also be ruled out.
If he really was a weapon fanatic, he wouldn't have wanted to buy Rozen's tamed monster before.
Therefore, Rozen really wanted to ask Argo.
"This deal is obviously full of strange things. Don't you have any doubts?"
Rozen looked at Argo with an intriguing look.
However, Argo only responded with a mocking smile.
"That's what I thought before." Argo said in a more inquisitive tone, "But after meeting the client, I don't think so. He doesn't seem like the kind of person who would put in so much effort. Instead, he seems like the type who would be played around by others. Or, even if he did something wrong, he would be exposed immediately and sent to prison."
"… What kind of person is that?"
Rozen's interest immediately dropped like a deflated balloon.
"In short, you don't have to worry about any traps. If it's the kind of commission that will harm people, I won't accept it."
There was an indescribable persistence in Argo's tone when he said that.
In this regard, Rozen was quite confident.
Argo was just unscrupulous, not heartless. If he really judged that it was dangerous, he wouldn't sell it so easily.
Now, Rozen didn't pursue the matter any further.
"Forget it, who the other party is has nothing to do with me."
So Rozen said to Argo.
"Help me tell the other party that I don't intend to sell the weapon."
Anneal Sword + 8 could bring more benefits to Rozen. Even if the price exceeded the value of the weapon itself, Anneal Sword + 8 could still bring him more benefits.
"No matter what, the Floor Boss Raid is going to start soon, and I'm not going to sell my weapon just for some money and weaken myself for nothing," Rozen said, "Besides, I'm not in need of money."
As a beta tester who was ahead of everyone from the beginning, how could Rozen be short of money?
In Rozen's item bar, he had more than 70000 Cor.
Of course, if Rozen's equipment, items, and tamed monsters were included, then Rozen's net worth would be even higher. Not to mention that Rozen spent a lot of money to strengthen his weapon and train his tamed monsters.
"You're right." Argo agreed with Rozen's statement and said, "Then I'll reply to the other party. See you at the Floor Boss Raid meeting in three days."
Rozen nodded.
The two parted ways in the bar.
