The Strongest Wizard

Two Fat Chicks

30th December 1018 / 2018 2020hrs

Just by auctioning the first two Storm Tower Copper Shields, I had garnered a wealth of 120,000 credits that is equivalent to $30,000 back in the real world. Today is only the 5th day of gaming, and the actions that Thrillseeker had shown, the gamers that gathered here are mainly from the pay2win category. If not for their fat wallets and purses, no one would dare buy a low-quality Copper Shield which was slightly weaker than the Bronze ones that some gamers were wielding.

I guessed all the major corporations back in the real world had invested heavily in this MMORPG game. Which also means that credits would be going up in prices like in the stock market.

Presently the price for credits was 1CR : $0.25 and in a few more months, the credits would be scarce that the value of gaming credits would be like 1CR : $1.00 and highest would be at 1CR : $3.00.

So, right now, it would be the best time to hoard all the credits and save them up...! It would be a boon for investors like me...Hahahaha...!!!

"So, MissyGK007... What is it going to be then? Have you decided on those two Storm Tower Copper Shields that I had reserved for my core members here? See, their wanton eyes when I mentioned that I had set aside these two Storm Tower Copper Shields for them? Hahaha... Look at the attributes, one is better than the other, and I am willing to let these two go at 150,000 credits. No need to haggle for the prices since Thrillseeker had paid 120,000 for the earlier batches. One and only opportunity, MissyGK007...!!!"

I enticed the remaining two Storm Tower Copper Shields to the representative of Outer Circle Elites. I am sure she would be getting one for herself and passed the other one to her boyfriend or something.

"Hmm...Could I pay you 100,000 in credits and the balance in cash? $25,000 cash and 100,000 credits. How do that sounds, Captain Guild Leader?"

"Fuuwee...!!! That's what I was waiting for at this moment..! Cold hard cash for me to redeem back scooter...Ahem, I mean to build the Guild to a higher status than the present. To get more bottles for the Major and Greater Mana and Health potions, and at the same time to pay the core members for being with me all this while." I thought to myself as I thought of all the credits that our finances seemed too bloated with.

3.4 million plus some loose change of 320,000 credits plus $15,000 credits. Damn...! Is this girl some kind of corporation that hides behind their CEO or something?

"It's a deal, MissyGK007...! Sold for 100,000 credits and $15,000. You may begin your transactions right now." I said as I clapped my hands together and opened up the trade link once more. As soon as I had opened up the trade link from the system, I could see the accounts statement that had been transferred earlier. I knew what I would be doing to the credits that had been transferred over, and I knew that there would be more credits coming in from Tinkerbell side.

I handed MissyGK007 the two Storm Tower Copper Shields, and she gladly wired me the credits and cash without batting an eye.

C O N F I R M E D...!!! This beau playing as a Guardian Knight may be a CEO of some major corporations that banked in to this MMORPG since the beginning of the development...!

After MissyGK007 had taken the two Storm Tower Copper Shields into her inventory, she left shortly, and we all let out a sigh of relief...! Everyone was surprised that the Storm Tower Copper Shield that I had forged could even reach an atrocious amount of credits and it was over within 30-45 minutes...!!!

3.62 million credits just transferred into our Guild's in-game banking account, and that would equal to $905k on today's price. Furthermore, we had another $15,000, and that could be considered as a drop of water in the ocean...!!!

"Come on, time to head upstairs, book into our respective rooms and then we would be meeting at the open-air outdoor eatery that we had met the first time. I wanted to discuss with you something, and then we would proceed with our normal task at hand. I still have to come back here and do the smithing for some time and then bring the ingots to mould the Storm Tower Copper Shields. I promise both of you that it would be the perfect piece anyone could lay their hands on right now. I just wanted to dispose of those 4 pieces of failed Storm Tower Copper Shields. It was the right timing that those two had decided to buy them and am sure they are being called the TWO FAT CHICKS...!!!"

"That's a great idea, Captain Guild Leader. This trick that you had shown us was one of the loopholes? Those are real human players and not NPC, am I right?" Snowball inquired since he had never seen gamers with so much money before in his life.

"My Goodness me... I have never thought of auctioning the Storm Tower Copper Shields before, and I thought you were showing them just for the fun of it and making us jealous." Snowbunny quipped in, and he sighed a relief since he was not given such a failed product and am sure that his Captain Guild Leader would be able to forge finer Shields in the future.

"By the way, Captain Guild Leader, would you be intending to make weapons as well? It would be one of the most sought after items followed by armour, don't you think?" Shadowdancer asked since he had been given a pair of twin daggers that had been used for some occasions but would like to lay his hands on other pieces.

"Not really...But I would be making something that could be used to grind in the night. I am not sure of the ingredients, but it was being produced by earlier gamers or researchers. It was great to grind mobsters at night until we reached a certain level. Mobsters would turn berserk once they see any light coming towards them. At this low-level stages, it would be alright to have them, and the ingredients in making them would be cheap. We can sell them one time, and then we see how the progress would be like."

I finished my sentence, and everyone cleared the table once there was nothing to say. The 2 bottles of wine were downed, and not a drop was wasted. The atmosphere before and after was very different since right now, our Guild have the financial capacity that a 2-tiered Guild would have and that was a million credits...!!!

We walked out from the private dining area, and many eyes followed us up to the reception area.

"That's the Captain Guilder I was talking about...!"

"Yeah, she looked quite common with the wooden stick she carries..."

"But she seems so knowledgeable...! Can you hear the shoutings going on in there? It is an auction I tell you...!"

"Sheesh... May be it is shrill. Who knows they are making these things up."

"Yeah, those two that came in later was also part of their members. But I think those are the new ones that called themselves the Inner Circle Elites and Outer Circle Elites from the main core of Silent Knight Guild."

"Hey, you... You are also part of their casual gamers for Lifestyle, am I right? What did you find out about them?"

"Nothing...! Absolutely, nothing at all. We were sent to farm resources. That's all...!"

"You useless piece of turd...Hahaha...!!!"

Hushed conversations could be heard the moment we exit from the private dining area, and these whispered conversations were of no importance to us right now. What we need to do is to log off and get the matter done as soon as possible.

We booked 10 separate rooms to the uppermost floor and then went up. We synchronised our timings and agreed to meet at the designated outdoor eatery at 2130hrs.

I was thinking the faster we deal with this financial matters, the better, and I am sure the core members were anticipating a type of remuneration. Of course, there would be some remunerations, but I am making sure that the core members would not refuse the offers.

We reached the uppermost floors and entered our rooms. I immediately showered a bit so that our virtual bodies would not stink. Even though it is virtual gaming, but the developers had put in every single piece of realism into this MMORPG. Once I had done the chores, I lay in bed and log off from the system.

I awoke and discovered that all my A-Class and S-Class nutrients were nearing depletion already. I unhooked the gauntlet from my arm that infused those nutrients directly into my bloodstream and opened the door of my gaming capsule.

*H I S S S*

*C L U N K*

The door hissed and clunked open, and I slowly reached my foot over to the edge of the gaming capsule. It had been some time since I had stayed inside my white fibreglass 'coffin' as what my parents had called it. I checked the time, and I knew that I had more than enough time. I stood at the sides of the gaming capsule and removed the memory lining inside it to dry and ventilate. I had a spare one just in case and decided to exchange it as the used one would be laundered.

The first thing I did was to check my phone that had been left on the study desk with the charger on. There were no messages, and I sent one broadcast to the core members to inform them not to be late. Immediately a flurry of messages entered as they replied once they had reached for their phones.

After showering, I left my bedroom, greeted my parents and told them that I would be returning late to meet my friends outside.

"Don't forget your dinner, dear. Someone came here looking for you, and I got the man's name and number for you. I think he is some kind of a big shot since someone drove him over using a Bentley and he was wearing a three-piece suit and a Rolex Oysterdate on his left wrist."

My goodness...My Nanay can be so observant some times.
