Chapter 107 [There Is a Rich Man Ahead]

After explaining things to Kirito, Rock and the others took a rest at the blessing place.

To be honest, Rock felt that this separation was a bit like Luffy and his teammates making an appointment to meet at the Shampoo Islands two years later.

I don’t know how much Kirito and the others will improve in strength after he comes back from Galede.

…

The border area gradually fell into darkness, the light of the golden tree dimmed, and the dark moon hung high in the sky.

Outside the blessing point, Rock kept vigil today while the others gradually fell asleep.

But among the people lying down, a head suddenly appeared. It was Argo the Rat.

She ran to Rock as quietly as a mouse: "Jiejiejie, aren't you asleep?"

"Bang!"

Rock, who was keeping vigil, turned around in the blink of an eye, pushed her to the ground, and put his knee on her neck.

"Stop, stop!" Argo hurriedly patted the ground to express surrender.

"Argo... why are you crawling over like a mouse at night?" Rock still held her down.

Argo's movements were very light, and her stealth skills were a bit beyond Rock's expectations for her.

"Cough...cough...it's not a mouse meow...it's just me, a high-level meow."

"It's no use meow."

"I can't... I can't..." Argo's eyes began to roll up: "I... can't breathe..."

Hearing this, Rock slowly let go of his knees and let go of the mouse under his knees.

Rock: "Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night? Do you want to attack me at night?"

"Ahem...didn't you ask me to come?" Argo put his hand on his neck and coughed, looking at Roque with a shocked expression.

Rock: "I don't remember saying that."

"The information you mentioned during the day only had names and no specific locations. Isn't it a hint to me that you want me to come to you privately to exchange information?" Argo was even more shocked.

Whether it's the staff or the hidden path, Rock just said that there is such a thing, and he didn't say where these things are. He only mentioned a directory. This is purely to seduce people!

Argo subconsciously felt that this was a bait used by Roque to lure her. Roque must have information to exchange with her privately.

When it came to intelligence trading, Argo asked herself that she was never inferior to others. She felt that there was a sign of this, so she immediately took the initiative to get closer in the dead of night.

Rock: "Do you think you are Sun Wukong? I even knocked on your forehead three times to hint you to come over in the middle of the night..."

Upon hearing Roque's words, Argo was instantly discouraged and lowered his head.

"Why is this... I've waited for nothing." She squatted on the ground in despair. Suddenly Argo thought about it, and it was not like there was no chance to obtain information.

"Rock, take me with you when you take the hidden path in the future! I am of a very high level and will never be a burden to you." Argo patted his chest excitedly.

High level? How high can it be?

"I told you during the day, I'm not familiar with you." Rock was warming up the campfire: "I didn't beat you, it was to give Kirito face. I'm a man who can kick a woman in the face without hesitation, so you'd better be careful. ”

Argo was not discouraged: "Don't be like this, you are not familiar with me, you must be familiar with Rune!"

"Do you know how many runes we need to upgrade? It takes about 673.4 runes to upgrade from level one to level two. There is really no problem in upgrading in the early stage just by killing monsters, but do you know how many runes are needed to upgrade to level one in the later stage? ?”

"Hundreds of thousands or even millions." Rock took over what she said, and then continued: "The full level is level 713. It takes about 1.69 billion runes to upgrade from level one to full level. ”

An ordinary Greg soldier is given 400, while the hound knight Darivel is only given 1,900, and the early BOSS limb Grek is only given 20,000.

It’s a long way from 1.7 billion...

Even if you played the game in your previous life and relied on shooting birds on the cliff of Mongwen to refresh your soul, if calculated as twenty seconds each time, you would still need 284 hours of non-stop sleep.

But now this method is useless, because the junction is refreshed on a daily basis. The game can refresh the time by blessing, but the junction cannot be refreshed. Each time is not 20 seconds, but 24 hours.

This is also the most difficult problem for Rock to solve...

Everything else is just childish.

"Eh?!" Argo was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Roark actually knew what Rune needed to upgrade.

"He is truly a master at getting the hound's tusks...many beta players have not calculated it carefully."

She quickly calmed down and continued to explain to Rock: "That's right, I wonder if you have ever thought about it. It's not enough to just farm monsters to get so many runes."

"So, why not come and do business with me... Doing business is much faster than killing monsters." Argo rubbed his hands.

In addition to being used for upgrades, runes are also the currency unit of the border area.

In order to show his sincerity, Argo showed his level and rune interface to Rock.

Rock fell silent for a moment.

This Rune...and his level is actually higher than him?

Before entering Stonewell City, if you only killed the monsters on the Weeping Peninsula of Nimgofuga once, it would only cost you about 87,000 runes, which would be enough to reach Level 32.

Rock and Kirito are already relatively powerful. With five times the profit from Rune's Night Golden Eye Monster, they are already close to level 40 before entering the Weeping Peninsula.

But this Argo...

Is this guy actually so talented in business?

No... It should be said that she has channels. I heard from Kirito that this guy had already made quite a name during the closed beta period.

"Hehe... How is it? My level is not bad, this is the power of capital!" Argo put his hands on his waist: "The information communication in the border area is blocked, so I usually sell intelligence and equipment, but I make a lot of money."

"How is it? Do you want to sell me some intelligence, I can give you a share..."

As she spoke, Argo felt that the surroundings were quiet, and only Rock was staring at her.

No way... Are you going to kill people and rob them?

"Calm down, meow, I am Kirito's friend, meow..." She silently took two steps back.

"Meow, it's useless."

Rock silently mourned for Argo for a second, and then pulled out the hound's fang from his back: "Wukong, your teacher has a long journey, and it's time to need money... Don't blame your teacher for being cruel."

Argo turned around and wanted to run, but although her level was high, her actual combat was average, not to mention that she was facing Rock.

Rock immediately pressed her under his knees again

Argo's eyes began to roll up skillfully: "I...can't breathe..."

...

After a while, the two had a cordial and friendly business exchange under such circumstances.

Argo looked at the rune in Rock's hand with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you for the deposit." Rock put it into his backpack.

"It's the ransom meow..."

"We can talk about cooperation, and then we will split the cooperation 30% and 70%."

Argo was delighted: "You only want 30%?"

"20%." Rock looked at Argo.

Argo: "Isn't this too little? It's a bit unfair to you."

"10%."

Rock's hound fangs were placed on Argo's neck, and Argo's joy turned to sorrow: "Woo...still 30%."

"Then 30%." Rock put away the knife and told her where Patch was. By the way, he told her to remember to avoid robbers and be careful of the bell trap in the cave: "This place will be discovered by players sooner or later."

Humans are like locusts. No matter how hidden this place is, it can't hide for long. After all, it is in Nimgufu, and players can only wander around here.

However, the prisoner had been bought by Rock, and he didn't need anything there. He only had a holy grail bottle left to ask Parker, and he didn't know if the other party could get it.

"You have to act quickly. If you want to resell from that Parker store, you only have two weeks."

Reselling is an operation that Argo is familiar with. With the help of some people not lighting up the map, she bought it from another wandering merchant and then sold it to the players, making a profit from the difference.

For example, there is a wandering merchant on the west side of the seashore of the Beginning of Guidance. This wandering merchant sells bows that are scarce in the early stage, and many professions lack initial long-range equipment, so Argo made a lot of money by relying on this.

In addition, her level is high and her equipment is not bad, so she doesn't worry about being robbed. It's just that she met Rock, otherwise other players can't do anything to her.

"Hehe, these are all small matters." Argo has seen a lot of things: "The key is your path to Lienia, can it be..."

"Don't worry, I'm not asking for the location of the Lienia path now." Argo immediately added: "I'm worried that players have strong exploration capabilities, and sooner or later someone will know it, and maybe some people have already known it during the internal test period."

Argo: "But it doesn't matter, they can't maximize the advantages of discovering new maps, but I can."

A new map means new merchants, more advanced forging stones, whether it is equipment enhancement or skill learning, the new map is a blue ocean.

Just reselling the items sold by merchants back to Nimgefu can make a lot of money.

Argo knows two major guilds, as well as various internal test masters and individual investors, so she basically has no worries about sales, which is why she saves runes very quickly.

Rock thought for a moment, "Well, after I go there and light up the blessing, I will teleport back from time to time and bring you some Lienian specialties."

"As for the location of the path, I'll tell you after I come back from Galid."

High-end business is often a simple way to make a profit.

After the two discussed it, Rock took the rune, a deposit that Argo voluntarily gave, and felt a little relieved about the subsequent trip to Galid.

"Speaking of which..." Argo seemed to remember something: "Galid is teleported to a mine, which is full of monsters. You didn't seem to tell your teammates just now."

"Well... there's no need to tell."

Argo's eyes lit up: "I'll keep it a secret for you. Can you increase it from 30% to 40% for me?"

The hound's fangs were placed on her neck again.

"Wukong, the rules cannot be changed. If you change them, I will press you under the Five Finger Mountain with your butt facing outward." Rock looked at her calmly.

Argo nodded hurriedly.

...

The next day.

Klein went to look for the Blood-Fingered Hunter Yura as Rock said, and would temporarily leave the team.

"I am the man who will become the King of Elden." Rock said to Klein: "Just go with peace of mind, Brook."

"... I am Klein." Klein held his forehead.

Rock turned to the remaining three and said: "Let's go, Zoro, Usopp, Nami."

"Zoro? I only have two swords, okay?" Kirito protested.

"I should be Nami..." Asuna's face was dark.

Argo shook his head confidently: "No, no, no, I am the one who manages the money, so I should be Nami."

"Okay! Then everyone, let's go. See you in Sabaody Archipelago in two years!" Rock didn't listen to the protests of several people, but immediately waved his hand and set off.

...

A few days later, at the shore of Lake Lienia.

Before that, Rock sent Asuna and Kirito away one by one.

He took Asuna north and found the location of Teacher Selen, and used the royal scroll to learn Kalia Swift Sword and Radiant Sword Circle Array, as well as some simple pyroxene magic.

Then he went north again and practiced storm-related combat skills with Kirito in the broken house of the warrior.

After that, he was the only one left in the team.

After walking through the path on the right side of Storm City, he finally arrived at Lienia.

The emerald green leaves fell with the wind, and not far away was the shore of Lake Lienia, where everything was thriving.

Lake Lienia was not what Rock imagined. The water was very deep, and you even had to take a boat, which was very different from the cows and horses running around in the game.

But perhaps because it is close to the Kingdom of Kalia and the Magic Academy, it is also one of the few places that is not greatly affected by the golden tree.

Here, Rock actually found many NPCs who are still sane, and some even run boats to carry people across the river.

Now Rock is on such a boat.

"Are you from Nimgefu?" The resident with shackles chatted with Rock while rowing the famous boat.

"Yes, I just passed the Iris Church."

Rock said casually.

Iris Church is a must-pass, and there is an interesting NPC named Tops in Iris Church.

He is a waste stone of the Magic Academy and is judged to have no talent for learning magic.

But Rock knows that in the future, an innovative magic that is enough to set up a new classroom will be born from this waste stone.

"Tops's Standpoint"

Has the ability to reflect other magic and prayers.

In the game, Rock thinks this magic is not as useful as Kalia's Bong, but in reality, Rock has to praise it, this may be very useful to him.

In the future, maybe he can combine it with the power of Kizaru in his Hokage.

There are only a few moves of rebound magic, one is from the Golden Tree camp, and the other is from the Kalia camp. They are all magic and combat skills that only direct knights can learn.

Only Tops's stance was developed by Tops himself, and the requirements are not high. Nine-wisdom warriors can also use it.

"We're here."

The residents silently stopped rowing and reminded Rock, interrupting Rock's thoughts.

"We're not there yet?"

"We're here, because the rest of the way, you need to walk under the guidance of our savior, you need to follow the will of the three fingers and follow the direction of the crazy fire." His expression suddenly became ferocious and twitching.

His eyes were emitting an abnormal yellow light, which made people feel jealous.

Rock: "..."

I knew there was no way there could be normal people at the border.

I almost forgot that Lienia is next to the Crazy Fire Village.

"Swish——"

"Kalia Swift Sword"

Rock held the Astrology Staff in his hand, and a straight sword made of blue light instantly appeared in his hand, and he cut off the opponent's head with one strike.
