Chapter 293: The Adventurer's Guild District and The ARES Guild Operations Building!

The Adventurer's Guild outside the Tarala Kingdom has now become a small districtas if it was a city from the 'real world' that was adapted into the game.

In fact, the builders and blacksmiths are amazed with the designs and architecture of the players to the point that they even started making plans on how to convert and 'Modernize' their own Kingdom.

Well Pedro was not that much concerned about such 'integration' events. After all, such things were bound to happen the moment that the players and the NPCs were able to peacefully coexist and learneven work, with each other.

Besides It was people under Weyron and the Oran Gutan Guild who were managing the Adventurer's Guild and the matters related to it.

And one of their works as of lately, was the 'Integration of Real-Life Technology' that was leading to the 'Modernization' Programs of the different strongholds in the game.

Sadly, such integration was only limited to the Tarala Kingdom and the nearby strongholds, since the influence and manpower of the players from the Oran Gutan Guild were still limited.

And obviously, such changes can bring a lot of profit for Armaz Electronics Inc. as a whole.

They can use the Buildings established within the jurisdiction of the Adventurer's Guild to display ads or promotions for profit.

Be it recruitment for 'Guilds' under the Adventurer's Guild Or up to Advertising a certain brand of shampoo Anything can be promoted as long as it passed through the Adventurer's Guild's approval.

Aside from ads and such, high-quality productssuch as weapons and armors, were starting to become famous, primarily because of Team ARES.

From the speculations of the commentators during Team ARES' match, up to Pedro's answers in the Post Match Press Conference, all of these factors contributed greatly to the sudden increase in demand for such items.

Sadly, players from other servers, and those who are in strongholds within the Asian-Australian Server but still have no Adventurer's Guild influence yet, still have no access to such items.

That said, it is not like they have no ways to get their hands on the equipment that the Adventurer's Guild, primarily the NPC force of Pedro, produces.

Giant Gaming Organizations were using Asian-Australian Server Gaming Organizations to procure such items through the abuse of the Trade System in the Player Interface.

In exchange, Asian-Australian Server Gaming Organizations get paid with tons of real-life money.

Thus, the Adventurer's Guild's market was also booming like crazy at this moment.

The market aside, the Adventurer's Guild earns the biggest income in its Gambling Area.

Well There are no Casinos of some sort in the game.

There's just a Lottery that was designed to allure all the playersespecially those who don't have many coins (In-Game Currency) with them in the game.

With the influence of Players within the Adventurer's Guild's Management Team, they made sure that the other players would be able to, no matter what's the case, participate in the Daily Lottery.

That is why, almost all the players that were members of the Adventurer's Guild were betting daily in the Lottery, in the hopes of winning the Grand Prize.

Well It's not a loss for the players in the first place.

Imagine killing 10 to 20 monsters daily, to earn 250 Bronze Coins. (This is through quests.)

Normally, such quests were taken by a group of playerswho would divide the earnings equally later on. (Not much of a problem arises in this kind of scheme as of the moment, because the division of earnings was also included in their Quest Contract as per the Adventurer's Guild. Of course, it was obviously an influence by Players that were working in the Adventurer's Guild, to avoid conflicts amongst players.)

That is why Players can easily earn tens of Bronze Coins a day.

Most of these coins were invested in the resources that they would need for doing quests the following day. Thus, Players are often left with a change of 10-20 Bronze Coins a day.

With a lottery ticket that is worth 15 Bronze Coins at the cheapest, they get a chance to win Tier F weaponswhich are formerly known as Silver Rated Weapons, that cost around 500 Silver Coins to several Gold Coins.

The Grand Prize itself was already a steal for a lottery that is only worth their 'daily pocket change'.

Add up the fact that the Lottery is conducted daily, and that there's a winner selected daily, it was really not "taking the players' money", but rather "giving opportunity for every player on a daily basis.".

That is why the Lottery held by the Adventurer's Guild was getting a lot of attention and support from almost all the players, be it casual players or established gaming organizations and groups.

These Achievements speak how much the Adventurer's Guild has grown and developed in just days.

From the great relationship between the NPCs and Players to the huge profit that ARES Electronics Inc. was earning on a daily basis, it was really an outstanding accomplishment.

Fortunately, the overall management was carried by Weyron and his mother, Director Veronicaconsequently giving Pedro the leverage to focus on other game-related matters.

Moving forward Pedro led everyone elseincluding Kazuto Kageyama and Ryu Taro, into one of the Buildings in the Adventurer's Guild District outside the Tarala Kingdom.

[A-00P Building]

The building was a 5-story high building with the huge "Team ARES Logo" painted on its wall.

"Woah" Ryu Taro gasped in amazement after seeing the "Team ARES Logo" in the building.

"Mister Black Don't tell me that Team ARES owns this building?" Ryu Taro asked in disbelief.

Pedro simply chuckled in response before glancing at Kazuto Kageyama, and saying, "Yes We own this building. I happen to be acquainted with a higher up in the Adventurer's Guild. So Purchasing our own Guild Building for a certain value was not difficult."

Kazuto Kageyama glanced towards Pedro with a 'calm look' before asking, "How much?"

Pedro simply smiled before raising one of his fingers.

"One Gold Coin???" Ryu Taro shouted in astonishment whilst his eyes seemed like they were about to pop out from their sockets.

Pedro simply shook his head and said, "No One Hundred Gold Coins, plus a skill page!"

"Wa-Wa-Wa-One Hundred Gold Coins???" Ryu Taro shouted in astonishment. "W-Where the fudge did you get a Hundred Gold Coins, mister Black???"

Pedro chuckled before saying, "You're crazy, mister Ryu... if you think that we're able to pay such a huge amount of money in one go! Obviously We were paying in installments. xD"

"Anyway I can ask my acquaintance for you That's if Guild Leader Kageyama is interested in acquiring one of these buildings" Pedro said whilst glancing towards Kazuto Kageyama.

On the other hand, Kazuto Kageyama remained calm and simply rubbed his chin before saying, "I'll relay this information to the higher-ups of our organization. I'll inform you, in case they are interested For now Let's proceed with our discussion."

Pedro simply sighed in response before saying, "Very well Then, I would like to invite you to our Guild Operations Building!"

Kazuto Kageyama nodded in responseallowing them to proceed inside the ARES Guild Operations Building in the game.

At this moment, Arvedar, Aldo, Loren, and Roval left to check the 'improved' Adventurer's Guild District. Thus, Pedro, Sabrina, Lony, Talia, Mathew, and Faunia were left with their two visitors.

Well It's not like the four's presence was required during the discussion.

That aside, Ryu Taro's amazement kept growing, while Kazuto Kageyama's knowledge about the game improved as they personally saw the "fruits" of being close to the NPCs. The fruits that team ARES harvested by treating NPCs equallyas if they were ordinary people in real life.

One of the learnings that Kazuto Kageyama got upon entering the ARES Guild Operations Building was the thought of being able to hire NPCs to work for them.

Kazuto Kageyama personally knew how talented the NPCs were, especially on the jobs they specialized at. However, making them work for players was extremely hard.

And as far as he knows, most of the NPCs were only 'forced' to work for them, thus, from the NPCs' treatment towards them, up to the quality of their work, none of them matches the work and treatment that was given by the NPCs that were working in the ARES Guild Operations Building.

So, it was an enlightenment... A new learning for Kazuto Kageyama... That what Pedro said in the Post Match Press Conference really had a lot of bearing, application, and benefits in the game.

The Aggressive, Dominant, and Reckless traits of players in the past VR Games won't work effectively in Bearth Online.

"The Adventurer's Guild's Domain is really far different from the other places in this world." Ryu Taro said.

Pedro simply smiled in response and said, "That's to be expected! This place, the Adventurer's Guild District, was built to cater to the needs of Adventurers in the first place!"

"Hooo Mister Black seems to know a lot of things about the Adventurer's Guild!" Ryu Taro said with a scheming smile on his face.

Pedro simply laughed out loud in response. Then, his face became serious before he coldly said, "That's also to be expected! If you are in my place Would you trust all those people and spend that amount of money without even knowing a single thing?"

"If you are that kind of person Then, Sadly I am not the same!" Pedro said with an evil smirk on his face.
