Rudra nodded satisfied it was the same as his last life .... He anticipated all this , the common gamers would not be happy with this update as it kept on nerfing the player experience. The game company realized that the method to obtain nobility in a kingdom was wayy to lax and that with a bit of effort anyone could become a noble , But they could not have 50 thousand barons and 20 thousand viscounts running around in the same kingdom can they... hence the requirements were made much more difficult. Obviously many would be disgruntled with this.

The lifestyle classes were useless during the first month of the game, their levelling speed was too slow and the products they made were inferior to those available in shops , hence many looked down upon the lifestyle players.

However , Rudra knew lifestyle would be the backbone of any guild from now on .... Now that equipment needed constant repairs as well as needed to be changed every few levels. There was no way to constantly obtain full sets upon full sets of equipment ..... hence buying was the only option unless you had inhouse production.

Rudra had bought an important set design at the auction , and that would proove its worth in the time to come ....

Rudra gathered Neatwit and Karna and started formulating recruitment plans , after two hours they decided to hire a total of 50 members in this batch of recruitment .

They decided to divide the recruitment process into 3 parts

True Elites Warrior's , True Elites lifestyle , True Elites Logistics

with a distribution of 37 warriors , 1 logistic members and 9 lifestyle players

There was a swarm of players willing to enter True Elites and with Rudra aldready having filled the logistics spot by hiring a Harvard graduate working for Ethan only the warriors and lifestyle spots were left.

The team welcomed Amelia , The Harvard graduate who would from now on work as the general secretary.

The method of choosing the guild members was decided to be based on 3 rounds , combat testing round .... in the training hall of PurpleHaze city one could take the combat prowess test and be graded by the system ... from E class to SSS rating.... for qualifying for the 2nd round one atleast had to have an A rated prowess.

The 2nd round involved a test of character , knowledge and reflexes , in a digital quiz created by Rudra one needed to quickly answer question on the timers as well as play sudden game's that tested one's reflex .... only those who place in the top 100 will qualify for the final round.

The final round was interview and Rudra would personally weed out those he wanted and those he did not into his guild .

For the lifestyle classes .... Rudra with his Platinum Guild aldready had the best of the best forging halls , he also hired 3 professional NPC 's to man the helm for now as the players would at most be beginners in crafting, he currently only wanted to hire blacksmiths , alchemists and potionology apprentice's 3 each in his guild ..... He left it upto the NPC to choose the cream of the crop.

He also transferred his remaining funds to the guild warehouse and bought 20 menial task handlers under the guild .... they would do menial tasks like buying raw materials and transporting of goods.

With this he made a list of items and acceptable pricing range and put them all to work to buy all the available stock.

Although players had not reached level 30 yet they would soon. He issued an order to the NPC professional blacksmith's to begin production of the dark gold reinforced Armour set once they finish recruitment immediately. Rudra wanted to prepare for the future

Amelia showed her class by elegantly formulating a recruitment notice and posting it under the guild on the forums.

The Forums still complaining about the new updates sucdenly became interested in the outrageous recruitment policy of True Elits .

With millions of intrested applicants only 37 places were available .... it was even tougher than entering a prestigious college. The common gamers made a larger fuss .... however that day a new term had been coined which was the True Elites standard .... each and every guild modified this method of hiring lowering the parameters to hire their guild members in the future.

With the first update completed and the recruitment notice out Rudra's plans were now underway with full speed.

NO TIME TO SLACK OFF!
