CHAPTER XLIII
Xiangkong sent an email to Argo asking for help, and learned that the other party was also in the main town, so they met in a restaurant.
Because I want to be clean, the restaurant I chose is more remote.
As soon as Argo sat down, he complained, "Is this your attitude towards asking for help?" ”
The restaurant was small in size, with only five tables, not far from each other, and not separated by decorations, so it was very crowded, and although it was already afternoon, it was almost the peak time for dining, but the restaurant had no other customers except the two of them.
Looking around, almost all of the wood that catches your eye is wood, chairs, tables, pillars, counters, walls, and the environment itself is pleasing to the eye, but most of the wooden surfaces are covered with faint stains, not to mention pleasing to the eye, Argo even feels as if he smells the rotten smell of wood, maybe it is psychological...
For normal dining, Xiangkong has never felt sorry for his wallet, and this time he chose such a place, it is indeed to pursue purity, because the matter of wanting to ask Argo later is a very important part of his plan, and it is best to avoid others from hearing it.
"Don't be picky, I just looked at the menu, and the price is quite high, and the taste should not be bad." Xiangkong clicked on the virtual menu, and said while watching, in fact, he was not very hungry.
Hearing this, Argo opened the menu and looked at it, and found that Xiangkong said the dish, his forehead suddenly drooped a few black lines, and he suddenly slapped the table and stood up, and said loudly: "I want to change places." ”
3200 Keer one serving of "snot fried rice"!
The price is quite high, but the name is unbearable, Argo saw the name, and the environment he was in, and suddenly lost his appetite at all.
Xiangkong looked up slightly at the puffing Argo, this seemed to be the first time to see Argo with such a look, and couldn't help laughing, "The name should be just a gimmick, I don't think it's likely to have a snotty egg fried rice." ”
Argo glared and said, "Then you can order a copy and try it and see what the names are?" The prefix is so disgusting, who will have an appetite? ”
Xiangkong's face was slightly embarrassed, the names of these dishes are indeed strange, even if the twenty-sixth floor has not just opened, it is estimated that no one will come to this restaurant.
Now he wasn't hungry, so he didn't plan to eat it, so naturally he wouldn't order a sample to try the taste according to Argo's words, he smiled dryly: "You sit down first." ”
"Hmph."
Argo snorted coldly, and sat down, her head tilted to the side, but the wooden walls were covered with stains, and she resisted the feeling of nausea, she insisted on not looking at Xiangkong, but the poor restaurant did not even have a window, and the light was maintained only by an oil lamp on the top of the center of the restaurant.
Xiangkong was really reluctant to be such a clean place, so after thinking about it, he materialized a few fruits from the inventory that could be eaten directly and placed them on the table. After taking out these A-grade fruits, he felt his face a little hot, this was the first time he had come to the restaurant to take out food.
Argo saw the fist-sized dark purple fruits on the table, his eyes lit up, he quickly copied one, opened his mouth and bit it, sweet juice splashed from the corner of her mouth, and said while chewing, "You should have taken it out a long time ago." After speaking, he concentrated on eating this A-grade food called "purple berry".
Seeing that Argo had no ladylike way to eat, Xiangkong shook his head and handed her a tissue with the effect of "smearing".
Argo naturally took the tissue, wiped his mouth, and continued to nibble on the purple fruit.
Xiangkong also had a little appetite when he looked at it, and materialized a black bread from the inventory without sticking to the accessories, so he nibbled on it one bite at a time.
Argo quickly swallowed a purple berry that was difficult to obtain, and when he saw Xiangkong nibbling on black bread, he was stunned and surprised: "You eat black bread?" ”
Xiangkong nodded, since that time back to the starting town, except for the main meal, he has eaten black bread to replenish his strength, and he has been eating until now, but he didn't expect to get used to the dry and slightly bitter taste of black bread later.
If he hadn't been eating black bread, with his long time in the wild, it would be impossible to have A-grade food left that could be eaten directly, and the A-grade food he usually found would be taken by him to give to Yuxi, but this time he didn't go to see Yuxi, but it was cheaper than Argo.
Argo only found out that Xiangkong was eating black bread today, and couldn't help but be surprised, in her cognition, Xiangkong was a 100% foodie.
After nibbling off a piece of black bread, Xiangkong stepped directly into the subject, clasped his hands together, and asked, "Argo, if there are rumors that I'm with Asuna, can you use the strategy book to clarify it for me?" ”
Argo's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness, and he said lightly: "Asuna is the dream lover of many players, not to mention the scandal, it's a blessing to be able to have a relationship with her, why do you want to clarify?" ”
"Scandal..."The corners of Xiangkong's mouth twitched, and he retorted: "It's a rumor." ”
Argo rolled his eyes and said, "It's not all the same. ”
Xiangkong was speechless for a moment, and said after a while: "Can you give me a word." ”
Argo didn't answer immediately, her eyes flashed, the soul of a merchant instinctively burned, and several thoughts crossed her mind at once, her first thought was not to stop the spread of the scandal, but to use it as a selling point to make a lot of money.
Looking at Argo's seemingly seen appearance, Xiangkong had a bad premonition.
"No..."Argo opened his mouth, he wanted to say that he couldn't, but he didn't know what to do, he couldn't say it, he had already figured out how to cooperate, and then make a lot of money.
"Forget it, Miss Ben will help you this time." She quickly looked away, continued to stare at the smudge-covered wall, and changed her words.
Is it jealousy...?
No way, that sentiment doesn't matter at all about money.
Seeing that Argo agreed to help him, Xiangkong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, solving this matter is another important matter, if Argo can help him with that, the opening of the plan will not be so slim.
"Argo, I want you—" A cold, angry voice interjected as Shoku mentioned the second thing.
"Guest, why do you want to take out food when you come to your restaurant to eat, and you don't order food?"
Xiangkong and Argo followed the prestige, only to see a chef wearing a shiny black apron standing at the table, the reason why this NPC was so quick to confirm that this NPC was a chef was not because of the high hat and apron on his head, but because his name was prefixed with the word cook.
Seeing an NPC take the initiative to speak, this is obviously a task, Xiangkong and Argo glanced at each other, they are all quite interested, the twenty-sixth floor was only opened yesterday, then this task is likely to have a good return.
Xiangkong thought about it, carefully considering the language, he didn't want to lose this task of taking the initiative to find the door because of his words.
There are many quests in SAO that require words as a prerequisite for triggering the quest, if you are not smart enough, then you will basically miss the quest, but fortunately, the NPC will remain the same after issuing a dialogue, this setting is to give the player more time to think and organize the language.
Rao is Argo couldn't think of a reasonable response for a while, she only saw the conditions that triggered this mission.
"I'm sorry, that wasn't what we intended." Xiangkong thought for a while, and decided to respond politely and apologetically to the words of the NPC in front of him.
"Hmph." I saw that this chef NPC just snorted coldly, and his chest rose and fell violently, as if because of anger, and his nostrils suddenly burst out two long and crystalline snot at the same time as his chest rose and fell.
Looking at the sparkling snot, Xiangkong and Argo's faces suddenly darkened, and the two long snots slowly swayed slowly with the exhalation of the nostrils, making the two of them scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
Xiangkong stupidly looked at the NPC named Resak, but was silent.
