A yellow gold coin bounced high, drew a graceful arc in the air, and then landed accurately on the counter, spinning rapidly and flashing with alluring golden light.
"Please give me and my guys a glass of the best ale, thank you!"
Zhao Xi reached out and tapped his index finger on the counter. The rotating gold coin fell instantly, face up!
"Damn, he's so handsome!"
An Xiaohai who was following behind looked straight: "Boss, please teach me how to play?"
The eyes of the Ye brothers are also shining. This move is of little use in reality, because throwing a coin in the bar is not just pretending to be cool, but it is the most beautiful thing to do in the game!
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "The more you play and the more you practice, you will get better. It's very simple."
It looks simple but is not simple at all. It was a little trick he practiced in his spare time when he was a soldier. It is really not easy for ordinary people to master the strength and techniques.
The bearded middle-aged bartender glanced at Zhao Xi, reached out to grab the gold coins, and then poured them all a large glass of ale. His attitude was still cold, as if everyone owed him one hundred and eighty thousand gold coins.
return.
Zhao Xi didn't pay attention, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
When the middle-aged bartender took out a few silver coins and wanted to give them back, he raised his hand to stop them and said, "No need to look for them. I also want to get some news."
The middle-aged bartender frowned: "What news?"
Zhao Xi looked at him and said: "I heard that several demons and orcs have come to the city recently. Is there any way you can learn about them? It would be best to know their whereabouts."
In the city of the system, the bartender in the local tavern is often the most well-informed NPC. Generally speaking, as long as the trigger conditions are met, it is the most convenient and simplest way to obtain mission information.
Although it is said that it is not always Turin, you have to try it to know.
The middle-aged bartender shook his head and said, "I haven't heard anything about this. I'm really sorry."
As he spoke, he placed the silver coins in his hand in front of Zhao Xi.
The result was obviously disappointing. Fang Xu stood up and said, "Brother Daniu, let's go and ask elsewhere."
Zhao Xi was a little unwilling, and after thinking for a while, he continued to ask: "Excuse me, do you know who can provide us with information in this regard?"
He didn't take back the silver coin. Instead, he added 2 more gold coins on top!
The middle-aged bartender's cold face finally showed a smile: "These are not enough!"
Two gold coins are not enough? This NPC is really greedy. Zhao Xi said calmly: "Make a price!"
The middle-aged bartender raised three thick fingers.
Zhao Xi immediately added 1 gold coin, but what he didn't expect was that the middle-aged bartender actually shook his head and said: "It's not 3 coins. It's 30 coins. I can send you to see someone who knows the news!"
"What?"
Zhao Xi didn't answer yet. An Xiaohai jumped up and shouted loudly: "Is there any mistake? I just want 30 gold. Why don't you go rob the bank?"
30 gold is not a small amount of money. It can be sold for more than 3,000 yuan in cash in the large trading market, which is equivalent to his monthly salary income in the Yangmei Team.
The bartender asked for so much money just for a recommendation. It was a blatant rip-off!
The middle-aged bartender's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he looked at An Xiaohai with a very unkind look.
Zhao Xi keenly noticed that four or five drinkers stood up quietly at two wine tables not far from them.
Zhao Xi immediately stretched out his hand to push down the troublemaker An Xiaohai, and said to the bartender: "I'm sorry, my little brother can't speak. Please forgive me. I'll pay the money!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he took out 30 gold coins, put them on the table, and pushed them to the other party along with the previous ones.
The middle-aged bartender hummed and glanced at the pile of coins: "Too many."
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "The extra is an apology."
The middle-aged bartender's face softened a lot: "You are not bad, you know the rules, but your subordinates..."
He glanced at An Xiaohai with disdain: "You need discipline!"
What?
When did NPCs become so crazy?
An Xiaohai suddenly felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and the hair all over his body "exploded".
Fang Xu hugged him: "Don't mess around!"
Fang Xu was also an old player, so he knew that since the other party dared to offer such a price, he must have something to rely on. Now that Zhao Xi recognized it, if An Xiaohai still jumped, it was entirely possible that this clue would be cut off.
The NPCs in the plot missions all have very high AI, and it is normal to make them unhappy and not want to dump you.
Zhao Xi glared at the thief with hatred, and said to the Ye brothers: "How much money do you have with you, lend it to me first, and give me all you have!"
The middle-aged bartender is undoubtedly an information broker. If an introduction requires 30 gold, then the cost of purchasing information will definitely be much more. He only carries 110 gold with him, which he won in the grand arena today, so it is inevitable that he is a bit stretched.
The most important thing is that Zhao Xi believes that you will get what you pay for. Now that you are paying a high price, as long as you complete the task, you will definitely get rich rewards, so just in case, it is necessary to have more money with you.
And whether it's Fang Xu, An Xiaohai or Ouyang Mu, the little pocket money they have is not enough to fill their teeth. It's not without reason that An Xiaohai was so angry just now. The only ones with real "money power" are the Ye family brothers.
The Ye brothers looked at each other, but they couldn't be stingy at this time, so they obediently took out all the money they had with them, and actually gave Zhao Xi 137 gold.
With food on his body and no worries, Zhao Xi said to the middle-aged bartender: "You can take me with you now."
The middle-aged bartender looked at Zhao Xi with a strange look: "Have you thought about it carefully? Although the person I take you to see will tell you the news, it may also cause you trouble. It's still too late for you to regret it!"
Zhao Xi said with a smile: "The thing I'm not afraid of the most is trouble!"
"That's good..."
The middle-aged bartender nodded, looked at An Xiaohai who was still angry next to him, and said, "Let your men wait quietly here and don't make trouble!"
Zhao Xi said: "Of course, they will abide by the rules."
He winked at Fang Xu, who nodded understandingly.
The middle-aged bartender put away the gold coins and reached out to a small copper bell placed beside the counter.
Dang~
The bell rang loudly, and Zhao Xi suddenly had a creepy feeling. He felt like he was falling suddenly from a high cliff, and he completely lost control and center of gravity!
But standing behind Zhao Xi or sitting with Fang Xu and others in front of the counter, they only saw Zhao Xi's whole body sinking suddenly, and in an instant, he disappeared without a trace along with the wine stool under his buttocks!
A swirling black hole appeared silently on the ground where he was, and it quickly disappeared without a trace as Zhao Xi disappeared.
"What's going on?"
Such a strange scene left everyone dumbfounded, and An Xiaohai pulled out the dagger directly!
Fang Xu quickly hugged him again: "Calm down! The boss is still alive!"
Members of the same team can see the status of other teammates through the team information panel in the system view. Zhao Xi's HP is still full, so his life is naturally not in danger.
It's just that the way he disappeared was a bit shocking. Fortunately, Fang Xu had received Zhao Xi's instructions before and was able to stay calm and stop An Xiaohai's impulse in time.
This tavern gave Fang Xu a really weird feeling. Reason told him that staying calm at this time was the right choice!
The middle-aged bartender ignored them, picked up the rag on his own, and continued to wipe the counter that seemed to never be wiped clean. The inside of the pub was still quiet, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Zhao Xi was enjoying the thrill of a roller coaster ride.
He had a premonition that something would happen, but he never expected that the process would be so exciting. Fortunately, his nerves were strong and tough enough, and he didn't lose his temper to the point of yelling.
The falling process lasted for four or five seconds, and then Zhao Xi felt as if his butt was hit hard by something, and his body suddenly stabilized.
Time seemed to suddenly freeze at this moment, and then returned to normal again. His vision returned to normal, and all kinds of noisy and noisy sounds rushed into his ears like a tide and impacted the eardrums!
