An intelligence worth $500,000

"Damn! You smashed four of my just-bought oak tables! You have to compensate me!"

Leo exaggeratedly rushed to the spot where God of Slaughter Maple Moon had just fallen, holding the broken wood table top and loudly yelling.

The girl looked at him coldly and couldn't help but retort, "How could you find an oak table in this game..."

"Don't talk to me like that, your guild is rich, you have to compensate me for this!" Leo jumped up and pointed at the girl.

At this moment, the onlookers finally snapped out of their shock after the girl's punch that killed God of Slaughter Maple Moon. One person widened his eyes and pointed at the emblem on the girl's armor, "Quick, look! Isn't that the emblem of the 'Pale Blue Guild'!"

Being alerted by this person, others also noticed the emblem on the girl's armor and exclaimed in astonishment.

In the Dragon Abyss Online, large guilds generally mark their members' gear with an emblem. When members of these guilds move around in the game, others can easily tell what force they belong to, which can avoid many unnecessary conflicts - after all, not many people are willing to provoke large guilds.

The Pale Blue Guild, ranked seventh among the top ten guilds in the Dragon Abyss Online, is said to have been founded by a rich second-generation member and has a huge amount of funds and members.

If someone provokes a guild of this level, besides deleting their account, there probably isn't any other way to deal with it.

Now, the owner of this tavern wants to extort money from a member of the Pale Blue Guild? Has he gone crazy?

Of course, Leo didn't care about what others were thinking. In his opinion, what really matters is that he doesn't have any money.

"Okay," the girl said, feeling a little uneasy under Leo's gaze. "How much do I have to pay?"

When the girl said this, the onlookers were dumbfounded. Did she just surrender like this?

Leo crossed his arms and looked like a shrewd businessman. "Hehe, not much, just $10,000 for one table, $40,000 for four. Just transfer the money directly to my bank account. I won't charge you for those broken chairs. You see, I'm easy to talk to, right?"

"Shameless scoundrel..."

These 2 words were the thoughts that came to everyone's mind at the same time in the room.

"Alright, it's forty thousand then," the girl didn't want to waste any more time arguing with Leo in this kind of place, "I came to see you today for something important."

Leo's mouth was almost splitting when he heard the girl agree to compensate him, and he quickly said, "Sure, sure, are you buying drinks or food? Our oatmeal beer here is our signature dish!"

"I want information about the Dragon Abyss," the girl got straight to the point.

"Huh?" Leo was taken aback for a moment, looking puzzled, "What are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb, I know you know about the Dragon Abyss," the girl said, and with a wave of her hand, she cast a magic circle, "You're the best intelligence master in the newbie village."

Gradually, the magic that the girl cast formed a glowing map in the air, with a marked point on it, the cave one hundred miles south of the newbie village, named the "Dragon Abyss."

Taking a glance at the map, Leo sneered and sighed, " It was a good day indeed, but now I can't do business again...."

After speaking, he stood up and said to all the customers, "Sorry, everyone, the bar is closed today. For those who haven't settled their bills, it's on me this time. Please come again next time!"

As he spoke, Leo began to drive the customers out. Upon hearing that they didn't have to pay, the customers ran out eagerly, determined not to return to such a dangerous place again.

"I can't believe a miser like you would let all of them go without paying," Blue Water said with a snort as she looked around the empty tavern.

"You don't understand," Leo closed the door and turned to her. "By letting them go this time, they'll feel guilty and obligated to come back and pay next time, and the time after that."

Blue Water snorted coldly, not interested in arguing, and sat down on a chair. "Now that it's just the two of us, can you tell me about the intelligence on Dragon Abyss?"

Leo dragged a chair to sit across from Blue Water and yawned. "Dragon Abyss, that's a familiar name. How did you guys find out about it? It's so well hidden."

Blue Water replied, "A civilian player stumbled upon a wild BOSS near the Newbie Village by chance, and sold us the information in Pale Blue Guild. After we killed the wild BOSS, we obtained a treasure map, and the location of the treasure is inside Dragon Abyss."

"Oh? What kind of treasure map is it? Show me," Leo said.

"This one doesn't need to be shown, right?" Blue Water said, "What if I show you and you sell the information about the treasure map to someone else?"

Leo chuckled and said, "The wild boss you guys fought, is it called Fire Stone? There is a remote and desolate cave 50 miles southwest of the newbie village, where the Fire Stone only appears for one hour at 10 am."

Upon hearing Leo's words, Blue Water widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "How did you know?"

"Did you forgot that I'm the best information master in the newbie village?" Leo said, "You said that yourself."

"But that player clearly said he was the first to reach that cave..." Blue Water questioned, "Are you an insider of the game company?"

Leo waved his hand and said, "How is that possible? This Dragon Abyss Online is a world fully synthesized by artificial intelligence. Once the initial data is formed, not even the game parent company can change it. They can only be responsible for operating the game."

"That's true," Blue Water also knew that even insiders of the game company couldn't change this unknown world, "But the information you know is too strange. You know places that no one has ever reached before..."

Leo raised a finger and shook it, "Don't worry about that, it's a commercial secret."

"Alright, so do you want to tell me the information about Dragon Abyss, or do you not have that information either?" Blue Water asked.

Leo's mouth curled slightly upward. "How could I not have it? As long as it's information within the Dragon Abyss Online, I have it! It's just that..."

"Just what?" asked Blue Water.

"This information is not cheap, and my rule is to only accept cash," Leo laughed. "Because this is an extremely rare single-use secret realm, once you successfully clear it, it will disappear, so..."

Blue Water looked at Leo contemptuously. "You only care about money... just tell us how much."

Leo held up five fingers. "This much."

At the same time, he thought to himself: This is a secret realm with extremely rare gear. It shouldn't be a problem to charge a little extra for information fees, right? $50,000 shouldn't be too much for the Pale Blue Guild either...

"$500,000?" Blue Water frowned. "Do we really need to pay this much just for some information?"

"What?" Leo's heart skipped a beat after hearing Blue Water's offer.
