I'm just an information dealer

Volume 9 Intelligence Agents and Police: Chapter [-] Latte Coffee

"Come on, Tina, do you like to eat iced food, then let me order a super-large strawberry sundae, how about the two of us eat together~"

"Tina thinks Tina can handle this sundae by herself without the help of mice."

"Hey, don't be like this, I just want to experience the fun of eating ice cream with Little Tina."

Argo shook his body slightly, like a restless child.

"That's it, then, waiter."

Argo called softly, and the waiter who had just shown them a seat came over.

Leaving aside the name tag on his chest, the name of the employee on it reads "The Other Side"

【Bi Fang An... Seeing her behavior towards me just now, and her unobtrusive but often looking eyes at Xiao Li, she probably regards me as a rival in love. 】

Argo looked at the bank in front of him. Although Renmei had a good figure, it was a pity that she was not Argo's favorite.

As I said before, Argo and Fubuki Shirakami are both lolicons.

(Tina, who was sitting across from Argo, sneezed softly)

"The customer, what would you like to order?"

Although he was a little displeased with Argo's strange gaze, Kishi asked with a professional smile.

"I'd like an iced latte and a tiramisu, and then a giant strawberry sundae, what else would you like, Tina?"

Argo looked at Tina, and Tina shook her head.

"Okay, do you need anything else?"

"Yes."

Facing Kishi's question, Argo showed a wicked smile, and she pointed to a young man with a handsome face and outstanding temperament at the bar.

"I want to order him."

Immediately, all hostile eyes in the shop were directed at Argo, and even Kishi almost broke the pen in his hand.

"...Excuse me, what are you talking about?"

"I want that handsome guy to make an ice latte for me, is that okay?"

As he spoke, he looked at Xiao Li who was sweating profusely, and Argo showed a bright smile.

"May I?"

"I........."

Xiao Li was about to refuse, but the screen that suddenly appeared on the system made him choke on his words.

[Task: Help Argo make a cup of latte with a rating of 90 points or more

Content: A powerful and terrifying enemy is holding hostility towards the host. In order to prevent the host from being hunted and killed by the host, it is suggested that the host meet the requirements of the host and let the host reduce the hostility towards the host first.

Success reward: [-] points.

Failure penalty: Hunted by the Argonauts. 】

Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck!This is what I have to pick up!Xiao Li roared inwardly.

But this mission really touched Xiao Li's heart, because it was the first time the system rewarded so much, and the content was just right for the current situation.

It seemed that he was going to be serious now, Xiao Li took a deep breath, and then said in the direction of Argo and the others: "Of course."

"Junior!" Hearing Xiao Li's answer, Kishi was very surprised.

"Senior, isn't it normal to satisfy a customer's request, besides just asking me to make a cup of latte."

Taking out the utensils from the bar, Xiao Li smiled at the shore.

"......All right."

Now that the parties agreed, Kishi couldn't continue talking, so he could only give Argo a hard look before leaving.

And Argo just smiled in response to Kishi's stare. After all, a look or something is much better than a muzzle, but the waiter's professionalism is not good enough.

Tina watched all this quietly, without saying anything, but looked at Argo silently.

"Tina, you should be wondering why I am acting like this all of a sudden."

Argo put down the menu and responded to Tina's gaze.

Presumably, what she did just now was like an unreasonable suitor pestering Xiao Li, which was completely different from Argo's usual image.

After all, the store is so busy now, Argo also asked Xiao Li to make a cup of latte by himself, making Xiao Li have to put down other work.

"You also know that Xiao Li is our target this time, but we are not sure what his hole cards are, so we are active and he is passive."

Looking at Xiao Li who is concentrating on making latte, Argo's guess on Xiao Li is more certain.

She didn't miss Xiao Li's reaction just now, the other party was definitely planning to refuse at first, but suddenly he seemed to see something, and suddenly agreed, judging from the micro expression that he should have seen something good that made him feel uncomfortable Do not agree.

And seeing Xiao Li so focused, he obviously didn't take it seriously while making other customers' coffee, which made Argo feel a little familiar.

Xiao Li's current appearance is as serious as Argo's when he ran the commission.

Coupled with the previous speculation about the system and the routines written in novels in the previous life, Argo guessed that Xiao Li should have received a task from the system, and the content should be to make a cup of coffee or meet Argo's requirements.

"First find out the other party's attitude, if that Xiao Li is really the same as I guessed, then we can do it."

Argo chuckled, but when she spoke the last three words, Tina felt the killing intent inside.

"I will get rid of everything that hinders me, whether it is the time traveler or the protagonist."

"...Tina has one more question."

"Oh? It's rare for you to ask me. What do you want to ask? I will answer it."

Tina looked in the direction of An and the female guests who were interested in Xiao Li.

"There is another reason for the mouse to do this, what is it?"

"Well, there is no important reason."

Argo shrugged, with the excited smile of a child seeing a toy on his face.

"I just think it's funny to see these women itching their teeth because they hate me because of a misunderstanding, but they can't do it."

"......"

 ……Separators………

"This is your meal, please enjoy it slowly."

Looking at the latte in front of him, Argo exclaimed.

"Oh, it looks good, Tina, what do you think?"

Before Argo could ask, Tina had already started attacking the strawberry sundae in front of her, so fast that even her hand had an afterimage.

"Well, as long as you like it."

Seeing that Tina was enjoying the meal, Argo stopped talking nonsense and took a sip from the cup.

"............really not bad."

For a perfect latte, the temperature should be between 55-65 degrees.

Because the temperature that the human body comfortably accepts is in this range, and if it is properly whipped, the decomposition of protein will be smoothest in this temperature range, just like fully cooked eggs and 7-ripe eggs, so everyone thinks this temperature is the sweetest.

Excessively high temperature will cause caramelization of milk and coagulation of protein, while excessively low temperature will not completely decompose protein, resulting in poor touch.

However, Argo ordered an iced latte, so of course ice cubes were added to it, but this latte still maintains a warm and smooth milk foam after the temperature is lowered, allowing people to enjoy the taste of milk even when they feel cold sweet.

Latte coffee has less froth and more milk, and the overall feeling is that it has a strong milk flavor. Latte is a bit like milk with a coffee taste, because there is no thick milk froth, so it does not feel very dense.

Looking at the latte in his hand with some surprise, it can be said that it is the best that Argonaut has ever drank.

Argo looked at Xiao Li, although he didn't have a good sense of this time traveler, just this cup of latte Argo can admit his capital.

Seeing Argo's satisfied expression and the big words "Mission Complete" on the system, Xiao Li on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.

This should make Argo less hostile towards him.

Xiao Li thought to himself, but he didn't notice that the dark red light spot marking Argo's position on the system screen turned green for a while, and then turned back to dark red again.

【It's delicious, but it's a pity that it doesn't suit my taste...】

Argo closed his eyes, put his half-drunk latte on the table, and didn't move anymore.

For Argo, she could accept this cup of latte, but she couldn't agree with it in her heart.

Because the latte here was not made by Xiao Li himself by relying on his own ability.

Argo already knew that Xiao Li had a system, and also deduced that Xiao Li got a lot of abilities from the system, and making coffee must also be obtained from the system.

It is precisely because of this that Argo can't accept this cup of latte in her heart. For her, everything has to be learned by herself to be honed.

Argo's skills are learned by herself and honed by herself. Even the acquired bullet time is acquired by Argo after paying a lot of money, and Argo has also honed and developed a lot of kung fu in bullet time.

Whether it's fighting, writing, cleaning, killing, or even her bartending skills, she learned it by herself in order to fulfill her dream.

For this reason, she also worked hard to learn the most important thing in her life...to live.

So for Xiao Li, who can easily get many things by doing tasks, Argo is extremely disgusted, because it seems to be mocking her all the time.

But if you hate it, Argo won't say anything, because Xiao Li has a system, and it's just his luck to get the system.

Just like talent, Argo has a smarter brain than others, so she can learn more than others. This is Argo's luck.

It seems that she is just laughing at fifty steps, Argo laughed at himself, then stood up and said to Tina who had finished eating the strawberry sundae: "Let's go, I'm not interested anymore."

Tina nodded, and when she was about to stand up, she hesitated when she saw Argo's unmoving tiramisu on the table.

Then he picked up the fork three or two times to finish the tiramisu with lightning speed, and then wiped his mouth calmly and gracefully.

Argo walked to the bar and looked at Xiao Li, with a smile that surprised Xiao Li still on his face.

Taking out his wallet and paying, Argo said to Xiao Li:

"I have known you for a long time, Mr. Xiao Li. This is the first time we met. My name is Argo. I heard about Mr. Xiao Li's craftsmanship a long time ago. It really is better to see once than to hear a hundred things."

Hearing Argo's praise, Xiao Li smiled happily at first, then said modestly:

"No, it's just random."

"Excessive modesty will lead to disgust. Mr. Xiao Li's craftsmanship is really wonderful. I am very happy to taste the latte made by Mr. Xiao Li himself. It is really delicious in the world."

Argo looked at Xiao Li's proud expression and continued talking.

"But I still hate it..."

"Um?"

For a moment Xiao Li seemed to have misheard something, but Argo's voice just now was too soft for Xiao Li to hear clearly.

"Then, as a beverage chef who also serves people, I hope to continue to learn from Mr. Xiao Li in the future."

Argo stretched out his hand to Xiao Li under the hostile eyes of the female customers in the shop.

"Um... oh..."

Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, then held Argo's hand back, feeling the smooth and delicate texture of his hand, Xiao Li's heart fluttered.

"It's all right, I hope Miss Argo can give me a taste of your concoction if you have the opportunity."

He also remembered that when Argo wasn't fighting the protagonists in the plot, he was usually working as a bartender in a bar.

In the animation, the wine prepared by Argo made the three-dimensional viewers drool.

"Oh? I don't remember that I told Mr. Xiao Li that I was a bartender?"

Argo asked back with a smile, while Xiao Li's face changed drastically, and he wanted to withdraw his hand quickly.

Just now he was so obsessed with Argo's hand that he blurted out his inner thoughts for a moment!

"It seems that Mr. Xiao Li has something to help you. There is indeed a problem with that series of changes."

Confirming Xiao Li's reaction, Argo held Xiao Li's hand instead, showing a "successful" smile.

"I'm right, Mr. Xiao Li knows me very well, does Mr. Xiao Li know..."

Xiao Li was taken aback, but Argo pulled Xiao Li over forcefully with his hands, and then whispered in his ear:

"Actually, I hate watching stories where the main character has a system, Mr. Porter."
