Ain Grandet 57th floor.

Martin.

Somo Tavern.

Kirito was holding a glass of wine and drinking a sip of wine.

Japanese law prohibits drinking alcohol when it is under 18 years old, but in the virtual world of SAO, which will face death at any time, who cares about this?

After taking a sip, the wine here was surprisingly delicious.

Somo is the God of Baccarat in ancient Indian mythology, and this tavern opened by NPC should be from this.

The price is already super high, and since the SAO update version, the price has been even more terrifyingly high.

However, at this moment, Kirito felt a heavy knock on his shoulder.

"Oh, is it because Lord Kirito lost the challenge, so he can only be sad and drunk again?"

Kirito is very familiar with the voice, but as for the figure, he is even more familiar with it.

Because this guy wears a large black cloak all year round, his logo is simply too strong.

Who is she not SAO's most famous intelligence dealer Argo?

Kirito smiled and said, "Yes, I lost so badly!"

Seeing Kirito's appearance, Argo couldn't help but look at Kirito's eyes and looked at them seriously.

This little look of gaze even made Kirito feel like he had goose bumps all over his body.

"What are you going to do?"

Argo gave Kirito a blank look, "Why are you still afraid that I will eat you?"

Kirito is speechless.

Argo couldn't help laughing.

Kirito is obviously an important cadre of the strongest guild in the strategy group and the Wings of Freedom.

In the hearts of middle and lower-level players, they are even a bit similar to leaders.

But it was unexpectedly innocent!

Argo: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I just looked at it carefully. You guy lost so badly not long ago, but it seems that he really didn't take it too seriously!"

Argo did not lie. Not long ago, Kirito and Makino lost in a very embarrassing battle.

What's even worse is that the battle was held in public and soon entered the newspaper.

In SAO, which lacks entertainment information, this is very sensational.

Especially when the guy who was taking the photo also used the record crystal to capture Kirito's embarrassing figure falling in front of Makino, it looked like Kirito was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

The miserable index is even more soaring!

Some title parties even exaggeratedly wrote shocking titles such as "The brave man of the Second Daoliu fell to the ground and begged for mercy, and begged for mercy, and miscalculated again."

Kirito has become famous recently!

Faced with the teasing of his friend Argo, Kirito calmly took a sip of the wine and said, "Isn't it normal for me to lose to Makino?"

Argo was shocked.

The first time I saw someone lose, I was so confident!

Argo: "Are you not even a little unwilling to give up?"

Kirito said frankly, "Of course there is, you will definitely be unhappy if you lose. I'm not an NPC!"

Argo was even more puzzled.

"Then why do you feel like you're fine?"

Kirito put down his wine glass and sighed quite emotionally, "Because I really felt the hope of passing the level in Makino!"

Speaking of this, Kirito couldn't help but see the sword in Makino's hand.

It was an incredibly heavy sword. It was at that time that Kirito knew for the first time that the "core" injected into the Makino sword also truly understood the true root of Makino's strength.

Argo was shocked, "Hope of passing the level? Kirito, what did you feel?"

Kirito shook his head, "You can't say it, it may not work if you say it."

Argo glanced at Kirito and confirmed that Kirito was not mysterious, and immediately stopped asking.

No one understands the power of intelligence better than an intelligence dealer like Argo.

Some information is enough to change the situation of the war.

"I really don't understand you guys"

"This may be a man's romance!"

"It's still romantic, we've known each other for a long time, have we?"

“???”

Kirito recalled that he and Argo were also considered "old acquaintances". Strictly speaking, the two had a brief intersection during the closed beta period. After AO was unable to log out, he was even a regular visitor to Argo.

Many times, he even bought intelligence from Argo on behalf of the Wings of Freedom.

By the way, what does Argo mean?

Argo said quietly, "Kirato, they are all old friends, don't you invite me to have a drink?"

Kirito was speechless, feeling a little unable to understand Argo's brain circuit. The topic was changing too quickly.

However, he called the NPC waiter directly and ordered a large glass of cold beer for Argo.

Gugugugugu~

After Argo took a sip, he felt so relieved that his eyes closed, and his whole body looked extremely enchanting.

"Ahhhh, the beer that doesn't cost money is delicious. Kirito, thank you so much!"

Kirito was speechless.

"Argo, you're almost in control of the entire SAO's news and entertainment industry. Are you still short of this money for beer?"

Argo nodded, "No shortage at all, but is it better to have free ones?"

Kirito: ""

Seeing Kirito's appearance, Algo immediately smiled.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. However, after the recent SAO update, Cole in his pocket has really shrunk!"

Speaking of this, Kirito also empathized with it. After the AO update version, production players suffered "hard damage".

The cost of producing various props is rising, and players have almost lost the source of various cheap props.

As for the various props provided by NPC, the prices are naturally rising.

The only thing I am glad that the goods provided by the NPC store are of guaranteed quality.

When Argo mentioned this, he couldn't help but complain.

"Ahhh, we have recently made a newspaper, and we have to start with logging and making pulp, and we feel like we are going crazy. Production players have all felt the strong malice from Akihiko Kayaba!"

Kirito couldn't help but look worried.

"Yes, in the absence of equipment and props, the progress of the strategy has slowed down significantly and I don't know how our physical body is in the real world!"

Kirito's worries are not a top secret.

The players in the strategy group are working hard to move forward, and one of the important motivations comes from this.

How long can I last if I live in bed for a long time and rely on nutrient solution? AO has never been a game that can be played forever!

Argo: "Kirotun, why do you think of this new version? It's just slowing down our pace?"

Kirito shook his head.

He was particularly surprised, too!

Because this approach is actually inconsistent with the Akihiko Kayaba whom he knew.

It doesn't seem to be the work of Akihiko Kashiba!

However, when Kirito thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

He seemed to know Akihiko Kaedaba very well!

Kirito: "I won't talk about this anymore. Have I brought the information I want?"

Argo's face turned solemn.

"Kirito, I don't have the ability to interfere with your decisions, but please be careful!"

"Thanks."

Kirito nodded and expressed his gratitude to Argo.
