The destruction caused to Purplehaze city amounted to a whopping total of 780 billion dollars and it was the first time ever that Rudra did not have enough in the treasury to off-set the damage in a instant.
Ruby was trying her best to offer releif packages to citizens however her hands were tied for the amount of help that could be provided, since the royal treasury could not service the debt instantly.
This situation was created because Rudra had pulled a lot of money out of the game recently to support the shelters in Japan and the project to build the unbelievable battleship in both real life and inside Omega.
These ambitious projects had left Rudra’s holdings within Omega in a precarious position as they only had about 300 billion dollars in emergency reserves to deal with unexpected crisis.
If Rudra wanted to , he could easily borrow the remainder of the money from Hazelgroove empire however his pride did not allow him to ask for help as far as possible.
In his mind he thought about devicing another exploration or a similar mission to the raid on the dark elven kingdom to fill up the deficit. However just as he was worrying about such matters it turned out that Karna poured a heap of 500 billion dollars worth of gold into the treasury.
Naturally Rudra was shocked as to where the money came from hence eventhough he was overjoyed, he asked cautiously ” what happened here? “
The elders and especially Karna gave Rudra a massive smile as Karna said ” Aye aye aye , you underestimate us too much guildmaster, not everything in the guild Is your problem alone, we are a part of this organisation too.
Although we can’t kill tier 5 demons , money problems are something we can manage to solve”.
Rudra was pleasantly surprised at this as the corners of his lips turned upwards , this feeling of having capable people around him filled his heart with joy and comfort as he realised that finally the nurturing he had done of the guild members had started to pay off.
It turned out that Karna had spearheaded a raid to the hostile kingdom of Heathrow in the far north and razed one of their port cities to the ground.
Four tier 4 elders and 100,000 tier 3 senior players took part in the ambush and looted the place completely.
They especially struck gold when they seized a huge goverment ship shipping the years taxes from the port city to the capital, the ship contained nearly 300 billion dollars worth of gold inside.
The best part of the raid was that it was completed within 12 short hours and was traceless. From start to finish Karna had planned it like Rudra himself as learning from the master himself he had became extremely cautious as well.
The raid party disabled the teleportation center in the city which meant that by the time news travelled to the capital about the attack and a response team was sent the time needed for reinforcements to arrive was 16 hours.
But with the elites coming in and out in 14 hours, they had long gone befor the reinforcements even saw the heels of their feet and even after 3 days , nobody on the continent had a clue as to which party orchestrated the attack.
All signs seemed to be pointing towards a prominent bandit group in the nothern parts, whose attire and leader names Karna copied as a diversion.
Rudra was more than impressed by the plan and the results as his respect for karna increased a lot. Making him the vice guildmaster was one of the best decisions Rudra had made in his entire gaming career.
With the funding problem sorted , Rudra could finally focus on the most important agenda on his plate right now which was to reach tier 5 before the deadline.
Only 28 days remained to the deadline he had set for himself to declare war upon the demons , and he needed to reach tier 5 before that point anyhow.
However being sure that tier 5 was a state achieved by comprehension and not by any other external tests , Rudra knew that he needed to enter a period of isolated cultivation if he wanted to reach that level.
Wrapping up his duties as the pope , the king and the guildmaster as well as his family time with both Ruby and Naomi , Rudra chose to make a special oxygen chamber at the bottom of the special sea-weed pond inside the palace where he would enter secluded cultivation.
He had a strong gut feeling that the weed that he had brought back from the ancient ruins , which was so delicately mentained in his palace and the guild headquarters pond, was something more than just a regular weed with properties that could undoubtedly help with cultivation.
Needing every small advantage that he could , Rudra started to sit in a state of deep cultivation inside the pond.
After 24 hours of sitting still without moving a muscle and countless cycles of rotating mana in his body alongside a specific mana path according to his cultivation manual , Rudra finally got the system notification that he was waiting for.
System Notification: Detected that player ‘ Shakuni ‘ has entered a deep comprehensive state and has reached the threshold to become a tier 5 existance
Starting the comprehension test …..
Current progress 0/6 laws mastered .
It was finally time for Rudra to ascend to tier 5 and take his rightful place at the top of the food chain in the middle realm!
To do that he needed to master atleast 3 of the 6 basic laws of nature.
The law of wind , The law of earth , The law of fire , the law of water , the law of space and the law of time .
