Axie Online

Chapter 36 - Strategy Meeting

About an hour after walking towards their destination, the Raid troops that Rudy followed had arrived at the area of Viredeta Village which was suspected to be the headquarters of the Monstrous Invasion near Livetuna Town. The Raid Leader decided to set up a campsite about a kilometer away from Viredeta Village.

The party leader distributed camping equipment to each party that participated in this Raid. Even so, that does not mean they give it away for free. They also charge around 1,500 Byl per tent. The pay is not so expensive and all mid-level players also quite agree.

"Hm? Rudy, you didn't buy a tent from chairman Dalon?"

"No. Instead of sleeping I'd rather be on guard or level up."

"Alas, I meant that the camp wasn't like that. The camp in this place was only to wait for information from the scouts who investigated Viredeta Village."

"Reconnaissance squad?"

"They consist of four players with high-skilled Thief Class Jobs who have already set out to scout the target area. While waiting for them, the leader suggested that we rest and recover here while the party leaders discuss the attack strategy."

Rudy nodded slowly at Kynel's explanation. It was true that the leader Dalon made the right decision, knowing that there was no way to restore stamina in the Axie Online game world except to rest. Then, waiting for information that has been verified is the right step.

While waiting, Rudy took a seat and made several tens of Health Potion I in a rather quiet place. Since the resting place that Rudy and Kynel took was quite far and isolated from the other players, this was a golden opportunity for Rudy.

"Rudy, are you an Alchemist?"

"No, I'm Job Class Swordsman."

"But why are you able to make Potions? Isn't it only someone who has the Alchemist Side Job Class that can make Potions?"

"Ah, by chance I got the Alchemy Brewing skill that allows me to make Potions without having to take the Alchemist Main Class Job."

After explaining this, Rudy again made Health Potion I and several other Potions that he could make. In front of him was Kynel who was watching Rudy's way of making various Potions that were only for that instant. Rudy can also understand Kynel's curiosity to look at it carefully.

After the activity of making Potions was finished, Rudy started to open his Inventory and take something from there.

"What is it, Rudy?"

"This? Health Potion II Recipe."

"Do you want to make Health Potion Il?!"

"Not making, but rather learning the methods and materials. My Alchemy skill level is still not enough for that."

"Heh, I just found out that the special production Job Class skills also have different levels."

Ignoring Kynel, Rudy focused his attention on the Health Potion II Recipe sheet purchased from the Axie Forum some time ago. Even though his Alchemy level doesn't support making Health Potion II, Rudy just wants to know the ingredients so that they can be prepared well in advance of his Alchemy leveling up.

The Health Potion II Recipe that Rudy bought is actually an item that can be said to be quite expensive for ordinary players. Because it was rare for players to take the Alchemist Side Class Job, the rarity and price of the Health Potion II Recipe increased to 40,000 Byl. Way more expensive than Rudy's Iron Sword +4, right?

For Rudy's current financial condition, the amount is not so much considering his savings have not been converted into real money.

"Oh yeah, who's our party leader?"

Brack!

Kynel's voice suddenly fell for no apparent reason. Rudy, who witnessed this, could only stare in confusion while wondering in his heart, why did Kynel fall like that?

After a bit of discussion, Rudy started heading to the party leader's meeting. He and Kynel had an argument about who should be the party leader, but because it was Rudy who invited Kynel to the party, Rudy automatically became the party leader appointed by the system.

Rudy actually doesn't want to be the party leader, because he thinks being the leader is troublesome. If the subordinates are wrong, the leader must be affected by people who have a high status above him. Then, a leader must also prepare a strategy that is difficult in any case. Many other things make Rudy not want to be a leader or a leader.

But because the system appointed him and Kynel refused to take the post, Rudy couldn't help but sigh at the fate. Right now, he was walking through the other players who were resting in their respective tents towards the special tent where the party leaders were prepared as a place to strategize. While walking, Rudy was also noticed by the players who is resting.

At first glance, Rudy looks very ordinary, even the equipment he uses looks normal, but what makes other players' attention focus on him is the Ice Golem Gauntlets and Ice Golem Boots that Rudy is wearing. Why would a Swordsman who wields a sword as his main weapon use Gauntlets and Boots as his weapon? Whereas Gauntlets and Boots are the main weapons used by Job Class Monk, Fighter, and the like.

Rudy also knew that the equipment he wore was unnatural to most players, but that was what made him special. A Swordsman who equips Swords, Gauntlets, and Boots at the same time? It would be even stranger if they found out that Rudy could even make Potions like Job Class Alchemist players his main choice.

Ignoring the stares of the other players, Rudy started to step inside a tent big enough for ten people inside at once.

When Rudy entered the tent, several players were seen gathering at the same table. Rudy who suddenly entered made the attention of the players in the tent turned to him. They were both shocked and confused at the same time.

Before the misunderstanding occurred, Rudy immediately raised his voice to the players in the place.

"Ehm, I'm one of the party leaders in the back row. I heard the party leaders were having a strategy meeting, so I came here to join this meeting."

"Oh, I just found out that there are other party leaders besides us. Then please take a place to join."

Rudy nodded at the answer from a handsome-looking male player who looked very charismatic, with golden blonde hair, bright blue eyes, a fairly proportional body, with a weapon in the form of a shiny gold bow on his back. It seemed that the player was the leader leading the Raid this time.

Rudy immediately joined them after getting a seat, then listened to their discussion.

Even though Rudy doesn't want to be a leader, at least he is quite responsible for what position he fills sincerely or not.
