"ME33477".
The Elites had a blast showing off their mounts around the city , wherever they went , people turned to look at them in envy , recording videos , they felt like celebrities driving a ferrari down the streets.
The event hit mainstream news , and a nickname was added to the True Elites guild . They were started to be called the " Wolves of Hazelgroove ".
All in all it was a really successfull promotion run , that brought the guild to the spotlight once again.
Capitalizing on the popularity , Rudra sent the notice for the second wave of recruitment with 70 open slots .
50 slots for lifestyle guild.
20 slots for the main guild .
The requirements for entering the main guild were S grade or above assessment in training hall .
With A grade or above in tier one promotion
Followed by the interview.
Massive amounts of players were intrested in this wave of recruitment. As it quickly became an anticipated event . If you were a true professional gamer , True Elites guild was hands down one of the best options to join in the kingdom , in the absence of any superguilds monopolising the area.
After the round around the city , the players were back at the guild headquarters , and were all given the task of gaining merit points.
There were still 2 and a half days left in the event , and the guild needed the merit points to exchange for the top two items .
With the morale being at a alltime high after recieving the mounts , the guild members were extremely enthusiastic about completing the given mission .
But Rudra knew better than them , at most with them working very dedicatedly they could at most gain 20 thousand merit points over the next two and a half days ..... It was not possible to farm the 60 thousand needed to reach 150K merits.
He knew he needed to make up for the remainder of the merit points . And the only possible way to make up for the remainder points , is special 'ring the bell'.
It was an arcade style game , where there was a single lane about 30 meters long , with a bell hanging at the very end.
There were plant traps all the way across. And a very mean dryad spirit shooting out vines right before the end , you had to simply dodge all plants and traps , before ringing the bell to win .
The entry fee for one participant was 30 merit points , and the winner would take the entire pool of merits of those who participated before him and failed.
Rudra would wait till the very last day to attempt that event, to hopefully gain maximum merit points.
However what he was currently intrested in , was the special event packs. The special event packs had started hitting the stores , and had massive sales.
People were genuinely addicted to gambling into the packs in hopes of getting rewards.
This was made worse as some lucky men started showing off their wins to others on the forums.
Someone even got a epic weapon from the pack, this caused an explosion of pack sales , as more and more people tried their luck .
What piqued Rudra's interest the most was that , currently the currency conversion rate was increasing at a rapid pace. The gold had a great increase in value against the dollar. And it was a great time to sell.
He decided to sell about 50 platinum worth of gold , for a incredibly large sum of money. He would buy back gold from the same money when the prices became stable again. As he expected to earn about 2 platinum from this transaction.
The lifestyle store was doing amazingly well , even without the advanced mana potions not hitting the stores yet..... The sales of the event packages and the sales of the armour sets , it was an incredible hit.
Rudra had banned the Elites in buying the event packs , but he was sure some members did it anyway secretly . However the ban imposed would serve as a restriction to not gamble their fortunes away.
This was harsh , and Rudra felt like a strict parent , however what was necessary was necessary.
Seeing the gambling buisness run soo well , Rudra wondered if he should start a lottery buisness of his own , selling tickets for a grand prize and holding a lottery , earining 500% profit on a item worth little compared to the money earned.
For example a dark gold sword would probably go for 700-800 gold coins
However holding a lottery at 1 silver a ticket , selling more than 1 million tickets he could earn 10000 gold for the same object.
This was a crazy scam , that was completely legal , however considering the game company would probably not allow it , he dropped the idea.
Just as he was casually strolling through the forums , a new post just rocked his plan to the core. Someonene just cleared the challenge he was aiming at taking about 15 thousand merit points .
A solo gamer called Orochimaru just cleared the Bell challenge !!!!!
