A week of training passed by in a blink of an eye for the workers at Leo’s factory, and soon it was the first official day for production.

“Mr. Leo, I have to say, the training that you have given these workers seems to be extremely effective.

The current efficiency rate that the workers have reached is nearly 70% and we hope that it will reach about a 95% level in 3 months time.

Factoring in their current work-shift loads, I think we can produce about 20 million gold coins worth of products every month in terms of gross revenue, if all the factories run as we expect them to–” Tommy, the White Tiger Group Executive in Crest-Hill Barony said, as he addressed Leo, in his Leo Skyshard the merchant get-up, within one of his production factories.

“Out of this 20 million, what is our expected profit percentage?” Leo asked, as he did not care about the 20 million gold, what he cared about was how much money he was going to make after everything was said and done.

“Well Mr.Skyshard, conservatively speaking, the total profit made on this 20 million should be upwards of 6 million gold coins, however, we cannot say for sure yet.

However, even on the lower end, the profit will not be under 6 million, which means that you should make at least three million gold coins in pure profit after the first 60 days of us running this operation, based off our 50-50 profit split agreement” Tommy said, as he gave Leo a very lucrative expected sales number.

“Oh 60 days? Not 30?” Leo asked, raising an eyebrow as he thought that payments were supposed to roll in every 30 days.

“Yes, 60 days…. The first payment will take 60 days, as only after we have sufficient stock will we start transporting the produced goods in bulk.

It will take approximately 30 days for the products to find the shelves of all White Tiger Group Stores across the Empire and the sales will start after that.

So for the first time the payment will come after 60 days, but it should be monthly everytime after that” Tommy clarified, as after thinking about it for a while, Leo felt that it made sense.

Transporting to every corner of the Empire did take time and so did collecting the revenue from the sales, so 60 days sounded like a fair time.

“Well, I have one request. Instead of being paid in gold coins, I want to be paid in pure gold bars or silver bars of equivalent value.

If the White Tiger Group is interested in a swap deal, then they can deduct a part of my payment and send me enough gear to fully boot up the soldiers of this Barony.

I know that the Baron is desperately looking for gear to buy and I think I can sell it to him at a profit if I have stock.

Apart from that, I heard that the Baron is also looking for wheat, grain and other food items, so if I can get my hands on that, I’ll appreciate it” Leo said, as he requested that a part of his payment be converted to goods of equivalent value.

“Ho…? I have no problems complying with your request Mr.Leo, it’s not like I haven’t thought of such an idea myself, however, I seriously doubt the capability of the Baron to be able to pay you for the goods you sell him, because the Barony’s coffers are completely empty.

So until the Baron collects his first round of taxes and gets the economy moving properly, I wouldn’t wish to trade with a broken man” Tommy said, as he warned Leo about the risks of trading with the administration.

“Thankyou for the warning, Mr.Tommy, however, I believe in the promise of payment by the Baron.

If he gives me his word, it’s as good as actual money” Leo said, as he presented a front of having absolute faith in himself for being able to pay for his own trade.

“Well, of course…. I’m sure a merchant of your stature must have already thought this through, forgive me for my mindless babbling” Tommy apologized, as being the smart merchant that he was, he did not dare offend Leo on a differing opinion.

[ System Notification – Player ‘Leo Skyshard’, you have been invited to the First Annual Rankers Special Event. S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

You have 10:00 minutes to respond to this notification and accept the invite.

Note :- Once you click [ Accept ], you will be transported into the special event arena and will be unable to return to the actual game world for 6 hours.

( Accept )

( Reject ) ]

Just as Leo was talking to Tommy, the official invitation for the rankers only event came through, prompting Leo to abruptly end their talk and move to someplace private.

“Please excuse me, Mr.Tommy, I have some work to attend to–” Leo said, as he moved away from all prying eyes to a private location, before clicking (Accept) on the invite.

Truth be told, he was very excited about this rankers only event that he was invited to, especially because it was the first exclusive event he had ever heard about within the game of Terra Nova Online.

For most part, the game world was too realistic with there being no seasonal events or special dungeons opening up to spice things up from time to time, which made anticipation for this special event that much higher in the minds of the rankers.

********

( The event lobby )

The moment that Leo clicked ‘Accept’, he was transported to the special event lobby which looked like a massive outdoor courtyard with a huge ancient tree in the middle.

Under the tree, he noticed that there were several top players that had already gathered, perhaps because they accepted the request a few minutes before Leo did.

‘Nice Gear…’ Leo thought in his head, as it seemed to be a recurring theme in this lobby, as every single player that stood in this lobby was the Elite amongst the Elites, the cream of the crop within the world of Terra Nova, and all of them seemed to have an expensive taste in gear which impressed Leo.
