MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master

Chapter 70 - Exploitation Needs Planning

The special environmental event had a merits system and a special lottery event that made many people go crazy into treasure hunting.

The entire wilderness was ridden with hidden packs , upon opening you may only get 1 bronze coin or even worse a souvenir coin . Or you may get a special mount or a legendary pet.

It was a nature theme event and everything was based around nature. It was a popular passtime as the masses began crazily trying their luck .

With this there was also the opening of a time limited dungeon , Nature' s revenge. To remind humanity about the cruelness of mother nature.

However the theme had a major bug to be exploited.

There were 3 things to take away from this event , one of them was the dungeon bug Rudra intended to fully exploit.

Second was the nature pack , after the first three days of packs being opened from obtaining in the wilderness , the last 4 days will see them even being sold at shops.

Anyone with a merchants license could buy the time at a bulk rate of 5 bronze per pack and sell it at an MRP of 10 bronze per pack , as guided by the system .....this was a huge boon to buisness as shops earned big time from the sales selling thousands of packs , seeing an immense increase in foot traffic. People became addicted to the gambling nature of opening packs and before long they lost a fortune.

And the third bug was the merit system , a sureshot way of exchanging benefits. However this was a guild only event and the benefits would go to the guild as a whole.

It was not something tangible , but rather a boost to coolness factor.

After attaining certain merit points one could add features such as alchemy hall or blacksmithing furnace or such

Mostly they were upgrade benefits for silver and bronze guilds.

The third price was a stable blueprint exchangable for 20,000 merit points

The second place was the Unique title '?Nature friendly?Guild ' ..... Upon recieving this title , all guild members of the guild would be allowed entry into elven territory , and would be allowed to conduct trade.?Exchangable at 50,000 merits it was a must have for any big guild.

The first place finally had a rather useless effect for a rather extravagant price ... Upon teleportation entey , the guild members of the guild would emerge out with a purple fire effect .?It was just to look cool.

However Rudra had to admit , that emerging like that to a city was pretty cool ..... And such a chance would not come by again.

Resolved to gain 150 K merits for the guild , Rudra started formulating a plan .... Merits were not soo easy to earn for most .... However with the dungeon bug , Rudra was confident in earning a little fortune.

For the first time since the game's establishment , Rudra laid out the first mandatory participation event for all members .

Yes even Neatwit abstaining from everything to focus on levelling had to participate. While he was complaining and groaning , everyone else was pretty happy .... Rudra's authority had firmly been established after the war ..... And he was almost a legendary figure to all guild members ..... Everyone wanted to be around the boss.... Somehow with him , they felt invincible. That was the confidence he gave the guild members ... Hence most were overjoyed at the fact that Rudra would conduct a new Dungeon raid.

Rudra said " Alright guys .... Listen up , we are going to enter the nightmare difficulty of the Dungeon Nature's revenge ... Although we could steamroll the firstclear for Hazelgroove kingdom .... We wont! ".

This declaration shocked many guild members .... Why not?? They thought ..... What is the boss thinking?

Looking at their confused faces he continued " According to my plans we will level there at a maddening pace .... We will grind , gain merits and exchange them for the top two items in the merit list!".

Rudra declared boldly ..... They all cheered .... Although they had their doubts .... They trusted Rudra s judgement as rule of the thumb by now ... If the boss says he has a plan ... Then we dont need to worry about it.

" We will be inside the dungeon for a long time .... Attend to the real world buisness that you have .... Eat well , jog your body a little .... We meet exactly in 2 hours , i want full attendance guys ... Clear?".

" Yes leader! ". They said in unison

Rudra felt proud ... It was like he was a commander of an army camp ..... Hahaha , this was not something he commanded though .... It was respect that he earned.

Well he would not let them all down anyway.... The next 2 days were going to be lots of fun.

With the event starting in full swing , and mobs of players starting to scour the wild, while guilds doing all sorts of missions to gain merits .... The main focus of various organisations was diverted .... Only few big guilds truly planned for an elite expedition , while many small guilds avoided the dungeon alltogether.

It was discovered that killing one monster in the dungeon gives about 1 merit though with the easy mode clear giving 100 merit points ..... This was a good reward but not many were intrested. It took way to long to earn merits this way .... Smaller missions also gave 200-300 merits ... Those quests could even be performed solo ..... Sending an expedition of 100 men to earn 300 merits was a waste of guild resources , while not many could clear the normal difficulty let alone the nightmare one.

When the bunch of elites walked through the city though in a cohesive unit .. it was a sight worth beholding ..... The top rankers dominating the ranking boards all travelling together in a pack .... Everyone stopped for a moment to watch and record .

It was because of this that their every action was seen and analysed by many , and it was hard to move under the public eye discretely .... However their choice to enter the nightmare mode dungeon quickly spread through the forums .
