The video of the Elite group slaughtering the troll party had became the most viral video of the season , it had more than 300 million views in just 4 days , with extensive coverage by news channels and media. 

There were pannels of experts sitting and dissecting the video , analysing the fight. Giving a reason for the bizzare abilities shown by the Elites. But the thing was the experts sitting in the pannel were a bunch of absolute morons who were completely clueless , it wasnt like they were from cuber corporation , they were just a bunch of old uncles who played Omega pretending to be analysing the game mechanics. 

Expert one said " like you see in this video , the player here , doesnt actually have his eyes closed , it was open at first , but then the camera angle is such and the player squints his eyes soo much that he appears to have the eyes closed , hahahahaha , he mostly is from country C with those small eyes. Noone can fight monsters with closed eyes guys , thats just ridiculous ". 

Expert 2 said " The player using the fire spell, it definitely is the spell called fire wheel , it is a tier one spell that is recently been purchased off the market for 7000 gold coins .... Soo apparently an Elite bought it ". 

Expert 3 " i think this entire video is a fan art , a scam ! A conspiracy , look at the ridiculousness , i refuse to beleive it , i am a level 40 player myself , am i a fake gamer then? , ITS A SHAM! ". 

A lot of heated discussions ensued on the forums also , but the Elites were now undoubtedly painted in an unfathomable aura. Everyone stopped using commonsense to evaluate the group now , they were a bunch of anamolies banded together.

( Seven guilds alliance meeting , Azure Lotus guild headquarters) 

" They actually rejected us? "  Asked the Musicians inc guild leader 

" How cocky ! ". RealManchester leader said 

" You have not done your mission properly PinkLotus ". Demolitionboys leader said 

" What can i do to pursuade someone not willing to be pursuaded? And thats GUILD LEADER PINK LOTUS for you ". Yua glared at demolition boys leader. 

" Thats enough fighting guys , what should we do now? Buisness is real bad after the Elites wiped our members off the dungeon , the compensations and overall morale has made us feel a big pinch ". SeaOfPoison guild leader said. 

" What can we do , the NPC army is not to be trifled with , and we do not know how many more cards the Elites have ! That guild is just unreasonable , did you see that video? What ridiculous strength ". Original Manchester leader said. 

" We cant just have our authority challenged like this , its bad for buisness , the Elites still have a 35 day cooldown on their war counter , i suggest we lay low for those 35 days building strength , and then crush them in a one and done war ". 

" 35 days will really put a burden on our finances , we need to keep pressuring the smaller guilds exept the Elites ". Demolitionboys leader argued . 

" We cant , theres no telling when Elites band up to kill our party , im not underestimating us , but a party of 500 can easily be wiped by those 50 madmen , if we have more than 1000 troops stationed at a single place , the we become a target of the NPC army , for a party less than 50 members , the adventurers now refuse to give up without a fight , and the casualties have mounted a lot since the fighting broke out ". Musicians Inc leader argued. 

" Damn those Elites , how dare they put us in such a pinch ". SeaOfPoison leader was thoroughly underwhelmed by the situation. 

When the seven members were fiercely debating the next course of action a system announcement got their attention. 

SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT : THE SECOND SYSTEM AUCTION WILL TAKE PLACE IN 72 HOURS, REAL WORLD TIME , IT WILL BE A KINGDOM STYLE  AUCTION WITH 40 COMMON ARTIFACTS AND 10 SUPER ARTIFACTS TO BID AT ". 

Everyone in the alliance became silent for a while , before wildly discussing about how to raise money for the auction . 

Everyone understood after the first system auction , how important was the auction items , just the armour set that the Elite's bought , made them untouchable in the market , gaining massive profits in the market.  Now noone wanted to loose the opportunity to land an important item.

( The True Elites Lifestyle store ) 

Rudra and Fatty Kalash were sitting in one of the three Elite lifestyle store in the city , today was the launch of a new product line , the advanced mana potion , it was priced at 100 gold coins per bottle , while it costed about 1.5 gold to make , with the overhead of the shop and all , it came to be 3 gold.  The profit they were making were ridiculous , Kalash was nervous about the pricing , but Rudra was very confident . 

Ofcourse he was , he knew that it went for 120 gold in his past life , 100 gold was aldready him chopping the price by 25%

Also the level 40 pirate set was added to the display and labelled as coming soon !  To create a buzz. 

When they were talking , the new system announcement hit. 

" Ooohhhh , what a good time ". Rudra smiled. 

He had expected the auction sometime around now , but this just made the timing extremely sweet. 

Karna had brought back a crazy amount of dough. And the lifestyle would make a lot in the three days leading up to the auction , Rudra felt very confident. 

He thanked his stars that he got hands on the advanced mana potion , as from now till the auction , it was time to grind insane amounts of money. 

Rudra gave the shop staff and Fatty Kalash the green signal to go ahead , as a new post promoting the latest product was added to the forums. 

/// This chapter is an answer to all your summoning calls , consider it a bonus ! We are taking the auction route for now guys , as it was the majority opinion , but the treasure arc would follow! Do not worry, hope you all enjoy! ". ///
