Chapter 67: Rewards of War
5 days had passed since the end of the war , yet it was still hot news being covered everywhere .... The Elites had been in full party mode following the victory , however Rudra had been incredibly busy , meeting with adam of the main guild in upside they sat down and discussed about the bombs and its recipes .
Uptill now the public opinion on bombs used in war was the focal point in everyone's coverage with lots of money being poured for accurate information on how to procure them. However with more and more players attempting the tier promotion ... The news about the bombmaker class was finally leaked to the public.
The funny part though was although many people chose the bombmaker class none of them had the bomb recipes. Not everyone can make bombs just because they chose the class , they need the bomb recipes and the recipes for such classes are extremely regulated by the kingdom ... Not freely tradable on market. Hence even though there were bombmaker classmen.There were no bombs made.
To explain it clearly lets take an example , say you want to bake passta , you have seen passta and eaten it , yet can you make it?. No you cannot , you need to learn how to make it , procuring all the ingredients and following the procedure step by step , however if the list of ingredients and recipe is not revealed. And if you donot even have passta at hand to reverse engineer , it is impossible to make.
But on the other hand , once you have learnt to make passta you can always make it again ..... Rudra knows the recipes for more than 30 different types of bombs in his past life hence he could make spike bombs and Frost bombs , although not the deadliest type of bombs , he chose them as the materials required are easily available. Many large scale bomb ingredients are regulated by the kingdom making it impossible to buy on open market.
Hence the demand for recipes of the bombs had erupted like crazy ..... And the one with the bargaining chip at hand was none other than Rudra. Helping the main guild for Grey International was natural hence he gave up the two bomb recipes to Adam and also gave 2 samples to study from. Adam was naturally gratefull and happy for this favour , and soo were many higher ups in the Grey International , at first they were in opposition to Rudra because of the bosses overwhelming favour , yet now they were totally convinced.?For a big company like Grey international to experience a 2% stock price increase was a big event.
Ethan was soo happy with Rudra that he decided to make a corporate tower for gaming purposes in the upside and invite all True Elites member to take?residence in the tower. Funding a luxurious 120 floor tower plan worth 25 billion dollars Ethan Grey gifted the True Elite s with a tower as congratulations on their victory. The Tower Of Elites , it was called and naturally Rudra was touched by the gesture.
The tower was grand and built with the best residential quarters , office , conference rooms and recreational facilities worthy of the Upside. The idea was to bring all the Elites under the same roof upon completion.
It would take around 3 months to complete!
Rudra would naturally not let Ethan loose out , as he generously donated the Two bomb recipes to the Greys and gave them the power to sell them to whoever they pleased.
Rudra had gained big from the war , especially the 70% war fees gained from the Orange Rock guild , the loosing guild in Guild war in Omega was subjected to either loosing their spot in the city or to pay war damages, depending on winners prefferance the damage payable was demanded between 15-70%
Rudra being ruthless demanded the maximum possible war compensation at 70% nearly bankrupting the defeated guild.
Loosing a war was brutal , you either loose the spot in the city , making your guild one without a base of operations ... With large number of players but less number of guild spots available in a city , there was always a constant power struggle and hanging onto your spot was vital for any guilds survival. Hence most preferred to pay war compensations.
Rudra gained about 70 platinum in currency and also gained various resources from their warehouse. Including many dark gold and gold weapons, some alchemy and potionology materials , some recipes and the items procured by Donald from the Auction.
Yet in a show of superiority Rudra bundled the weapons below dark gold grade and sold them as a lot to the highest bidder , the reason he gave to this action was " Anything below Dark Gold grade is trash not worth entering the True Elites warehouse ". Such arrogance.... Such domineering attitude..... Many common players cursed Rudra as they could hardly get their hands on even silver equipment yet he discarded gold ones like they were useless .
In total his gains were big. Not only monetarily but also with prestige ... Following the outcome of the war the 7 first rate guilds still operating in Hazelgroove kingdom all extended an olive branch to the True Elites ..... Their reputation as a force to be reckoned with was firmly established and everyone adopted an attitude of respect .... Atleast on the surface .
Finally having a little free time in hand as the special event dungeon still had 3 days before it would open , Rudra started to explore the royal library more .... Spending time with his guildmates in grinding mobs and finally scheduling a date with Yua Nakatomi aka PinkLotus .
Yua had been asking for his time for days now and hence they decided to meet tomorrow in real life as both of them were living in country J
Rudra was feeling incredibly nervous , as although it was a friendly meet , it was technically a date .... His first one ever!
/// Completion of the war arc guys. Thankyou for the overwhelming powerstone support , to show my gratitude the next five days will all be bonus days for you all ! Enjoy ! ///
