The Immortal Player

On another trending news worldwide, the Wolf Transformation Skill Page that Pedro placed in auction—with the help of his aunt, was sold for a huge amount of 10 Million US Dollars. It was bought by a gaming organization that was established by a famous fast food chain worldwide called 'MisterDow'.

Truth be told, spending 10 Million US Dollars on a skill page in the game was something unheard off. In fact, even if Pedro knew by this time that the skill page was already sold, he would not dare to estimate its final value to be at 10 Million US Dollars.

Why did several giant gaming organizations fought for this item to the point that its final value even reached 10 Million US Dollars would be a mystery even to Pedro. That said, it was not Pedro and his gaming organization's problem.

Who and Why did such giant gaming organizations placed a bid to an in-game item does not matter to Pedro. What he was after was the profit. Period.

Nevertheless… An item being sold at such value—which is even high enough to be a prize money to a professional competition on famous VR Games, would surely attract the attention of everyone else, especially the media. If not for the hype and noise established by the videos concerning the Adventurer's Guild, the auction of the wolf transformation skill page would have definitely topped the headline of various news outlet.

With the help of Pedro's Aunt and Pedro's Mom, the transactions were carried out smoothly—making Pedro almost half a billion Philippine Pesos richer in an instant. Well… There's still a lot of expenses that needed to be covered for Pedro's gaming organization.

Back to the game, it was early in the morning in the Tarala Kingdom. The Ball of Fire was yet to rise yet several people were already roaming around above the walls of the Tarala Kingdom—watching the Aron Burner toast their targets as if it was not running out of magical energy.

Add up the groups of adventurers that were hunting monsters early in the game—consequently providing help to the Kingdom soldiers and making their life easy, it was a fantastic view to observe as the monsters continued to crash down around them all over the place.

"What a weapon…" One of the nobles uttered in awe and amazement.

Duke Ersi could only smirk in response and said, "Thanks to the Aron Burners and the organized help of the adventurers, a lot of Kingdom Soldiers were able to rest properly and regain their strength before they fight monsters once again."

"Indeed!"

"You are clever, Duke!"

The men with Duke Ersi praised him, probably, for the chance to be able to get his favor or help. Especially regarding the matters concerning the Aron Burners. That said, Duke Ersi know that there some hidden meaning to their praises. So, he maintained his calm demeanor while increasing his sense of observation instead. Besides… Duke Ersi was firm on his goal or target, which was to help Pedro sell the Aron Burner, and advertise the potential of the Adventurers and the Adventurer's Guild.

After taking a tour, they headed towards Pedro's residence, to talk about the deals regarding the Aron Burners and the establishment of the Adventurer's Guild's Branch on their strongholds. Fortunately, at this moment, Pedro was just getting ready to leave for the Axutar Village. Thus, he was able to organize a small meeting with Duke Ersi and the other nobles with him.

"Duke Ersi, what brings you here?" Pedro said as he welcomed the Duke as if they were very close friends. Then, before anyone could speak, Pedro glanced to the nobles behind Duke Ersi and asked, "Is there a problem? How can I be of help?"

Duke Ersi simply shook his head in response and said, "There is no problem… In fact, I only came to bring my acquaintances here. They wanted to talk to you about the weapon that you made and how they can collaborate with the Adventurer's Guild. As for the details, I'll leave it between you guys."

Pedro could only scratch the back of his head in response. Then, he glanced to the nobles behind Duke Ersi and said, "About that… I'll have to trouble you all to head to the Adventurer's Guild's Office instead. I gave the authority to sell the Aron Burner and discuss about the expansion of the Adventurer's Guild to the organization's management."

Then, Pedro bowed and said, "Forgive me for not being able to discuss with all of you personally. I have already delegated the authority regarding such matters to the organization managers to maintain order and give everyone a chance to be able to discuss such matters. Besides… The organizations managers would be the ones to carry the placement, turnover, and orientation about the proper use of the Aron Burner. At the same time, they would be the ones to ensure that the Adventurer's Guild Branches would be properly established. Of course, this includes the deployment of competent organization managers that would ensure the proper management of each branch."

Pedro glanced to the nobles before saying, "So… I can only ask for forgiveness, but the discussion regarding such matters are already delegated to the organization managers. Kindly see them instead. They would be glad to have a discussion with all of you. That said… I hope that you all understand the circumstance we are in, and I look forward in working with all of you!"

In response, some of the nobles were a bit annoyed. Because Pedro could have talked to them at that moment instead. That said, other than the fact that they needed the assistance that the Adventurer's Guild could provide, the nobles understood Pedro's sincerity. So, they were able to, at the least, give an exemption for Pedro's rudeness this time.

Well… Truth be told, it was quite rude of Pedro to deny a talk to the nobles who were sincerely reaching out to him, to the point that they even made a trip to his residence. However, it was important to follow the protocol of the Adventurer's Guild—which was to allow the organization managers, namely Neerak Axutar and Weyron, to discuss with them about their concerns regarding the Aron Burner and the expansion of the Adventurer's Guild.

This way, Pedro would be able to reduce his workload and be able to focus on other important matters instead. Besides… It was more efficient that way—where certain people could focus in the jobs of managing the Adventurer's Guild, be it managing a branch or the Adventurer's Guild as a whole.

With that all said, the nobles simply gave Pedro some greetings before they left. After all, they were all in a hurry to purchase an Aron Burner, as well as establish an Adventurer's Guild Branch to their strongholds. Their soldiers fought monsters almost non-stop. It was only natural for them to rush such matters when the lives of their soldiers and the fate of their territories were on the line.

As for Pedro, he could not care any less. Although he would definitely obtain huge benefit from the Adventurer's Guild, he knew to himself that one's strength is what matters!

It's true that being able to control every single player in the Asian Server would give him great power. However, the possibility that the players won't follow every decision or order that the Adventurer's Guild would make is not low also.

That is why Pedro knew and strongly believed that there was only one way to stand on top of Bearth… And it was to become the strongest player on Bearth!

Because of the establishment of the Adventurer's Guild, and the failed attempt to obtain a Kingdom in the game, Pedro's character development has been greatly affected. Even his plan to conquer the dungeons were delayed for quite a bit.

So, he is quite troubled by the fact that the number of players are starting to increase—including the number of players who are strong enough to enter dungeons like he can. Well… the word 'enter' was different from 'clear'.

That said, he can't risk the fact that other players could grab the rewards that he could have obtained if he just simply focused on the dungeons themselves. After all… Even though he and Ragas were able to craft magical weapons, they were not even close in being able to craft weapons that are on the level of those that can be obtained in dungeons.

So, rather than spending time trying to improve their blacksmithing abilities, it was best for them to raid dungeons one by one. It would be an easier feat after all. Besides... It's not like Pedro and Ragas would be able to reach a breakthrough soon! They lack knowledge from crafting magical weapons. It was only natural that their progress in weapon development would come into a roadblock.

Thus, Pedro together with two groups—namely Advance Force 1 and Advance Force 2, went to the Axutar Village through the teleportation portal. Their mission? To establish the first branch of the Adventurer's Guild in the Axutar Village while Pedro was on a clearing mission of dungeons!
