Time travel at the same time: Is the golden finger actually me?

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 sleeping?"

"Bang!"

And 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 magic staff or the hidden path, Roque 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 weaker than 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 like this... I've waited for nothing." She squatted on the ground in despair. Suddenly Argo thought about it, and it was not that there was no chance of obtaining 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 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 border is refreshed on a daily basis. The game can refresh the time by blessing, but the border 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-Eyed 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.

"Humph...how is it? My level is pretty good, right? This is the power of capital!" Argo put his hands on his hips: "Information communication at the junction is blocked, so in addition to selling information, I also resell equipment, but the big Made a fortune.”

"How about it? If you want to sell me some information, I can give you a share..."

As he spoke, Argo felt that the surroundings were quiet, and only Roark was staring at him.

No way... You don't want to kill people and buy goods, right?

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

"It's no use meow."

Rock silently mourned for Argo for a second, and then pulled out the hound's tusk from behind: "Wukong, my master has a long journey, and it's time to take care of him... Don't blame me for being ruthless."

Argo turned around and was about to run away, but although her level was high, her actual combat performance was average, let alone against Rock.

Rock immediately had 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 burst into tears looking at the rune in Rock's hand.

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

"It's the ransom, meow..."

"We can talk about cooperation, and then the cooperation between the two of us will be divided into 30/70."

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

"Twenty percent." Rock looked at Argo.

Argo: "Isn't this too little, a little unfair to you?"

"One percent."

Rock's hound's tusks were placed on Argo's neck, and Argo suddenly turned from joy to sorrow: "Ugh... let's give it 30%."

"Then 30%." Rock put away his knife and told her the location of Patch. He also told her to remember to avoid the robbers and be careful of the bell trap in the cave: "Sooner or later this place will be discovered by players."

Human beings are like locusts. No matter how hidden this place is, it cannot be hidden for long. After all, it is in Nimgefu, and players can only wander here.

However, the prison equipment has been bought by Rock, and there is nothing he needs there. There is only a Holy Grail bottle from Parker, and he doesn't know if the other party can get it.

"You have to act fast. If you want to resell from that Parker store, it will only take these two weeks."

Reselling is an operation that Argo is relatively 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 players, earning whatever the price difference was.

For example, there is a wandering merchant on the west side of the sea at the beginning of the guide. This wandering merchant sells bows, which are scarce in the early stage, and many professions lack initial long-range equipment, so Argo relies on this to make a lot of difference in price.

In addition, her level is also high and her equipment is not bad. She is not worried about being robbed, that is, if she encounters Rock, other players will not be able to do anything to her.

"Hehe, these are all trivial matters." Argo has seen the big world: "The key is whether your small road leading to Lienia can..."

"Don't worry, I'm not asking for the location of the Lienia Trail right now." Argo immediately added: "I'm worried that players are very capable of exploring. Sooner or later someone will know about it, and maybe some people have already discovered it during the closed beta. Already know it.”

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

A new map means new merchants, higher-level forging stones, whether it is equipment strengthening or skill learning, the new map is a blue ocean.

Just by reselling the items sold by merchants back to Nimgefu, they can make a huge profit.

Argo knew the two major guilds, as well as various internal beta masters and retail investors, and basically had no worries about sales. This was also the reason why she accumulated runes so quickly.

Rock thought for a while: "Let's do this. After I get there and light up the blessing, I will teleport back from time to time to help you bring you some Lienia specialties."

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

High-end business is often about earning the price difference in an unpretentious way.

After the two discussed it, Rock took the runes that Argo had voluntarily given as a deposit, and felt a little more at ease about his subsequent trip to Galid.

"Speaking of which..." Argo seemed to have remembered something: "The mine that Galeed teleported to is full of monsters. You didn't seem to tell your teammates just now."

"Well...there's no need to say it."

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

The hound tusk was on her neck again.

"Wukong, you cannot change the rules. If you change them randomly, I will push you under the Five Fingers Mountain with your butt facing out." Rock looked at her calmly.

Argo nodded hurriedly.

…

The next day.

Klein went to find the blood-fingered hunter Yura as Rock said, and he was about to leave a member of the team temporarily.

"I am the man who wants to become the King of Elden." Rock said to Klein: "You can just go ahead with peace of mind, Brooke."

"...I'm Klein." Klein held his forehead.

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

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

"I should be Nami..." Asuna said with a dark face.

Argo shook his head confidently: "No, no, no, I am the one in charge of money, Nami."

"Okay! Let's all set off. We'll see you in the Shampoo Islands in two years!" Rock didn't listen to the protests of a few people, but immediately waved his hand and set off.

…

The shores of Lake Lienia a few days later.

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

He took Asuna north and found the location of Teacher Serian, where he also used the royal scroll to learn the Kaliya Swift Sword and the Radiant Sword Circle, as well as a few simple Radiant Stone magics.

Then he went all the way north, and Kirito and Kirito practiced storm-based combat skills at the warrior's shabby house.

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 are falling in the wind, and not far away is the shore of Lake Lienia, which is full of vitality and full of life.

Lake Lienia is different from what Rock imagined. The water is very deep, and you even need to take a boat. It is very different from the game where calves and horses can just run around.

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

Here, Rock actually discovered many NPCs who retained their sanity, and some even operated boats to pull people across the river.

Now Rock is on such a ship.

"Are you coming from Nimgofu?" The shackled resident chatted with Rock while rowing the famous boat.

"Well, yes, I just passed the Elis Church."

Rock said casually.

The Elis Church is the only way to go, and there is an interesting NPC named Tops in the Elis Church.

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

But Rock knew that in the future, from this waste rock would be born an innovative magic that would be enough to build a new classroom.

"The Topps Position"

Has the ability to rebound other magic and prayers.

In the game, Rock felt that this magic was not as useful as Kaliyafeng, but in reality, Rock had to praise him, this might be very useful to him.

In the future, he might be able to combine it with the power of Kizaru in his Hokage.

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

Only Tops' position was researched by Tops himself, and the requirements are not high, and the Nine Wisdom Warriors can also use it.

"arrive."

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

"Not here yet?"

"We have arrived, because you need to walk the rest of the way under the guidance of our savior. You need to follow the will of the three fingers and follow the direction of the epileptic fire." His expression suddenly became ferocious and twitching.

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

Rock: "..."

I just know how there can be normal people in the border area.

I almost forgot, Lienya is also next to the Diaohuo Village.

"rub--"

"Kalia Swift Sword"

Rock held the astrological staff in his hand, and a straight sword composed of blue light appeared in his hand instantly, and he cut off the opponent's head with one blow.
