Chapter 457 New Developments

There was a new event special dungeon that had opened in Hazelgroove kingdom , called the ' Lottery Of Jackpots ' and it was publicly known as the most difficult yet most rewarding dungeon .

The dungeon came in three difficulty modes , with the easiest being normal mode and the hardest being hell mode. Yet, the most rewarding dungeon was also the hell mode amongst all three.

However let alone the hell mode or hard mode , nobody was even able to complete the normal mode of the dungeon in the one month since it opened. The farthest a guild went was 60% completion of normal mode and 30% of hard mode.

While nobody made past the 20% mark of the hell mode of the dungeon. Yet , just clearing 20% the guild claimed to gain one year worth of rare resources for operation. The dungeon was just soo ludicrously loaded!

However the longer it took for guilds to clear this dungeon the greater the myth of the dungeon became , there were many first rate guilds that had tried multiple dungeon runs to clear the dungeon yet were unable to pass beyond a certain point in the dungeon , or fell prey to a miniboss.

There were various tutorial videos and walkthrough videos by these big guilds that were also selling like hotcakes currently , as a roadmap for smaller guilds to cruise through , however the success was very limited.

Hence the demand for a guild to complete the dungeon and make a comprehensive walkthrough became strong , and naturally all heads turned to the Elites for the completion of the job . Mass pinging them on the forums as to bring this matter to their attention.

( Meanwhile in Purplehaze city )

Rudra had a busy few weeks as for the first time he started making diplomatic relations with emmisaries of not only NPC kingdoms but also from various superguilds across the world.

Many light faction guilds wanted to get their hands on the secrets of the Elites and Rudra was not against a fair exchange . Information for equal information or money.

Rudra hence cooperated with various guilds , trading the designs of the Archballistae and a weak version without the materials needed for the spike bomb. For equally lucrative weapon designs of mortar and wall breakers!

Rudra knew that sooner or later he would be going up against forts and cities of Nineclouds kingdom , and it would be in his best interest to have long-range wall breaking abilities under his belt , as experiencing firsthand , the tactical advantages that a wall brought with itself.

The teleportation array was reconstructed , as it suffered damage after the war and , Rudra and the Elites joined a forum called the ' Ultimate Chamber Of Commerce '. Where about 8 different super guilds posted the stuff they wanted to sell in bulk but cheaper than market qualities , and could also put in request orders for materials , that could be fulfilled by other guilds at quoted price.

This opportunity opened up various markets for the elites lifestyle store , as they could sell potions at extremely competitive rates and that to 7 big clients at once.

It was not a stretch to say that within just two weeks of joining the chamber and becoming the instant darling of everyone by providing a 40% discount on the market rate of advanced mana potion and advanced recovery potion. The elites found themselves in high favour and demand for products from these big guilds.

Not only did the big guilds find the discount ludicrous , some even began to trade and sell at their own stores by buying from the elites and selling at a 20% premium. However it was still cheaper than the ongoing market rate , meaning that even within this trading activity the big guilds made money.

Naturally the big guilds did not know about the chalice the Elites had , and even at a 40% discount Rudra was making 150% profit on a single unit . Or else they would probably puke blood . Rudra was hence raising immense wealth for his guild , further enriching it's value for the open market auction that was going to happen in a few days.

Rudra was hence waiting for the perfect opportunity to enter the new event dungeon. As the hottest effect would come , if he was able to complete the event dungeon on just the day before his guild was listed public on the stock exchange . As news about a successful clear was sure to create waves , as by this point it was public knowledge that the new event dungeon was extremely hard , hence providing a value boost to the guild , helping it stand apart from the rest of the tier one guilds.

Otherwise , the development of Rudra's territory was progressing at an extremely rapid rate , as Rudra did not idle either , levelling continually as well as practicing the mana circulation technique , cultivating his mind and body.
