Chapter 48: Information Collection

The next day.

Cono sold all the materials he had taken from the cave in Balamut.

"I'm going to store the staff now, but I want to know how much this spell will sell for?"

For the time being, Conou refused to sell handicrafts and employees.

He fed all the junk items to his Demon Sword, and also sold the obsolete equipment of the Balamute armor kit.

In total, the gold he had on hand and the gold he got from selling everything amounted to a little over 1,700.

"Let's turn 1000 gold into cash. ”

Conou went to the currency exchange office near Vidocq Square (Vito Square) in order to exchange his gold for cash.

As mentioned earlier, a currency exchange office is a place where gold is exchanged for cash and is therefore operated by the user of the game.

Obviously, the famous trading user Limidas was the first to start this trading business and made a fortune.

He is greeted by the pot-bellied user who receives the currency exchange office.

The currency exchange office was doubled as a pawnshop, and its structure was the same as that of a pawnshop.

In addition, he saw a sign detailing the market value of the gold as well as the commission.

Gold market price: 1 gold = 10,000 yuan ($10 USD)

Silver is not processed.

Commission for gold for cash: 2%

"It's still 10,000 yuan in gold. ”

Fundamentally, Arth is a game where players make a lot of money, a lot of money.

Users spend most of their money on equipment and potions.

Good equipment costs thousands of dollars. The best equipment was even sold for tens of thousands of gold.

There are basically two different types of potions; one red (restores HP) and one blue (restores MP).

The price of a potion varies according to its properties. They range from 1 gold to 100 gold.

Because Cono can avoid most attacks with his hyper-intuition, he doesn't really need to use potions.

However, most users use potions consistently while hunting. As a result, they are forced to spend a lot of money to sustain themselves.

And, because Als is sought after all over the world, the demand for gold remains high.

Therefore, the market price of gold has not fallen. It is still 1 gold coin of 10,000 yuan

"It's not going to go up further, is it?"

The market price may fall in the future, but it should not rise.

Due to the continuous progress of rankers and other users, they are gradually earning more and more gold.

As a result, there will be a large influx of gold, so the market price will naturally fall.

In other words, 10,000 yuan of gold is enough.

"You have to take advantage of it while you still can. ”

Kangou plans to exchange as much gold as possible.

In addition, in order to promote the development of the virtual reality industry, the government will exempt any income from items or gold.

"There are so many worlds to live in. ”

If you're good enough, you can make a living as a pro gamer. That's a good time to be alive, no, from scratch, it's a good time to be alive.

"Sir, how can I help you?" asked the big-bellied boss with a professional smile.

Conou took out ten gold bars and handed them to the boss.

"Would you like to exchange this for cash?" asked the host.

Cono nodded, no reply.

"You've exchanged 1,000 gold for 10,000,000 yuan ($10,000). How would you like to pay your commission?"

"I pay in gold. ”

Conou gave him 20 gold, which is 2% of 1000 gold.

"Please tell me what your account number is," the owner said when he picked up the gold.

"My account number is Choi Jae-woo 910-122-78331029. Please deposit it immediately. Well, I'm using a piggy bank. ”

When the turnover exceeds 1000 gold coins, the player can immediately claim money like this.

"Please wait 5 minutes. ”

The big-bellied boss logged out in front of him. Soon after, he reappeared.

The shopkeeper said, "I've already deposited the money into your account. ”

"I'll be back after checking. ”

After Kang Ou wrote off, he checked his bank account with his mobile phone. He definitely got 10 million yuan.

He visited Alth again and ended.

"I see. Thank you so much. ”

"Of course. Have a nice day. ”

Leaving the currency exchange office, Conou heads to the Adventurers' Guild.

"Hello. Kang Ou said with a gentle smile.

This expression is occasionally used when he needs someone's help.

"How are you doing?" greeted the middle-aged man with three scars on his left eye.

His name is Jace.

He is the one who provides Conou with information about the sword of the Lothea family and the caves hidden by the wind.

"I found caves hidden by the wind," Conou said.

"Oh, you did it? where did you find it? What happened?" asked Jayce.

Con'ou explained the location of the cave and how to open the portal. He gave him a general overview of the jungle expedition, described his desperate battle with Balamut (Balamut), and even explained the story between Besi (Percy) and Balamut (Balamut).

"Baramot and Bessie...... I think a lot of strange things are happening on the African continent. ”

Jace, who had heard the story behind Baramout and Percy, was surprised.

[You've officially reported to the Adventurers' Guild the hidden stories behind the wind-hidden caves, the quiet jungle of Ravello, and Percy and Baramute.] ]

[Your credibility in the Adventurer's Guild has been increased.] ]

[Closeness to veteran adventurer Jace increases.] ]

"There is no such thing as a free thing in the world. ”

There's a reason he portrays his adventures to Jayce.

So far, Jess has provided him with useful information.

Therefore, he returned his message to him.

Now it's his turn to receive some information.

"Have you heard anything out of the ordinary or have any information about me?" asked Conou.

"It's a big secret, but ...... I'll make an exception and tell you just one. ”

Unsurprisingly, this is a concession.

Veteran adventurer Jace peeked at Conou and motioned for him to come closer.

Conor pushed his face forward, and Jace quietly sneered.

"There's an oasis in the Barryton Desert that has never been found before, and they say there's a lot of treasure hidden there. ”

[You've heard of the hidden oasis of the Barryton Desert.] ]

"What else do you know about the Oasis?"

"There is the truth behind the back of the endless sea market. It's something that has been handed down by the locals. ”

"There is a truth in the never-ending Haishi S company building, hehe. I understand. I'll try my best to find it. ”

Jace is the one who provides him with information about the ferocious swords of the Lotia family, as well as the caves hidden by the wind.

His information can be trusted.

"I'll wait in anticipation," Jace patted Conou on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Is there a mission for the Bariton Desert?"

If there is, then he can complete the task while he is there.

"Let's see..."

Jayce began to peruse the commission documents.

"There is actually one. ”

"I will. Conou replied immediately.

"There have been too many sand-eating monsters lately, Sandurion. To take care of these sandulions. ”

When Jace finishes it, a mission appears.

[Kill Sandurion!]

Sand-eating monster, Sandurion, a monster rarely seen in the Bariton Desert.

But until recently, the three-toed lion has appeared in large numbers and attacked the locals living in the oasis.

Kill 200 Sandurion for the locals.

(0/200 killed)

Difficulty: Hard

Minimum requirement: Level 100

Rewards: Adventurer's Guild credibility, 50 gold, and growing fame in the Barryton Desert.

[Your level is too low for you to accept the mission.] ]

"Your level is much lower than I expected. Haven't you reached level 100 yet?" Jayce said, sounding a little disappointed.

"Level is not everything," Conou said firmly.

He is only level 77, but much stronger than the average user at level 100.

"You're right. Level is not everything. ”

Jace nodded, looking at Conou.

He is an incredible adventurer who has had an amazing adventure in the quiet jungle of Ravello!

"Okay. I will be your guarantor, so you can accept this task. ”

Jayce was doing him a favor.

[Veteran adventurer Jess has become your guarantor.] ]

[You have accepted the task of killing Sandurion.] ]

Honestly, if he doesn't accept the assignment, it won't be a big deal. After all, the rewards for completing it aren't all that spectacular.

Still, he was grateful for Jayce's willingness to do him a favor.

"Thank you very much. ”

Conou bowed his head deeply.

"Feel free to tell me about your adventures," Jayce said with a smile.

"I will, I promise. ”

"Hey. ”

"Then I'll leave now. ”

He had already received information and tasks, so Conou had nothing else here.

"See you next time. ”

"Okay. ”

Cono has left the Adventurers' Guild.

Conou opens the door and enters the Giulanto Bar.

He looked around.

As always, it was shabby, dark and shabby. The hosts are the same as ever. The same goes for the old drunken Tino (Tino)!

He's over there. '

Just like their first meeting, Tino lay on the table.

"Tino!"

Conou shook him and woke him up.

"Hmm. ”

Tino looked up at Conou vaguely.

"Who are you?"

"A polite person bought you honey water. ”

"Then are you going to buy me honey water today?"

Tino's blurred vision became clearer and clearer.

"Based on your performance. ”

"What do you want?"

"How much do you know about the hidden oases in the Bariton Desert?"

"Barreton Desert (Barryton Desert)...... There is a saying that has been handed down: 'There is a truth behind the endless sea rage building'. ”

Tino stared at Conou as if to say, "How is this?".

"I already know. Conou replied.

"Oops. My head is dizzy. If I drink some honey water, then I might ......"

He's tired of his tricks.

"I don't think you have any information. See you later. ”

Con'ou stood up.

Based on what happened to them before, Con'ou knew exactly what type of person Tino was.

If someone gives you one thing, he wants two things.

That's why he needs to take the initiative.

"Wait!"

Tino hurriedly grabbed Conou.

"I don't know anything about the Bariton Desert," Tino said. I do not know. ”

"You mean, 'I don't. '。 Does that mean you know someone?"

"Of course. I know someone from there. I can also write you a letter of introduction if needed. ”

He was a little interested.

"Who is it?"

"First of all... I want to eat some seafood soup. ”

Tino smiled. Conou could see his yellow fangs.

Conou raised his hand and ordered a seafood soup.

"3 gold advances. ”

The seafood soup cost 3 gold!, as usual, it was insanely expensive.

Cono took out 3 gold coins from his chest and handed them to his master.

The owner quickly put the coin on his chest and disappeared into the kitchen.

"Who is he?" asked Conou.

Tino said, "Altan's Mage Tower has a mage named Grano. They are from the Bariton Desert. ”

"Where is he in the Mage Tower?"

"Go to the water magic lab on the seventh floor. That's where he works. ”

"Give me a letter of introduction," Conou said.

Tino (Tino) pulls out an old piece of paper and pen, places them on the side of the bar decoration, and begins to write a letter of introduction.

Upon completion, he passed a letter of introduction from Conou.

"Here. ”

"You're not lying when you say you two are close, are you?"

Conou stared at him suspiciously.

If he goes to the Mage's Tower with Tino's letter of introduction, he may receive a bad reception.

This is especially true because Tino is the one who does this kind of thing.

"I'm really not close to them. We were close enough that they would greet me when I passed them. ”

"Good. ”

As if he wasn't lying to him. If he is, then the super instinct will be activated.

"Then I'll go. ”

He no longer has business with Tino today. Con'ou stood up.

"Hmm... What about the information fee?" asked Tino softly.

"Isn't seafood soup enough?"

"No, it's not so, but ...... The wine here is so delicious. ”

In other words, he also wanted Conou to buy him wine.

Conou didn't buy him wine, but took out 10 pieces of gold from ** and threw it to Tino.

"Thank you!"

Tino (Tino) gets 10 gold coins and is happy about it. For a person who lives every day, ten gold is a lot of money.

Of course, for Kangou, 10 gold is also quite a lot of money. After all, it's worth a hundred thousand dollars.

However, he cheers Tino on the next time he needs information.

"I'll see you later. ”

Cono left the bar.

He traveled to the Tower of the Mages in Altai, known as the Cradle of the Mages.
