Chapter 2081 Admissions Open
Things moved pretty fast.
The next morning, Joker had the attendance of every single deal in the Olympian Realm.
To his slight surprise, Dean Wharton also made his way there. Sam expected him to take a different approach, after all the personality is different from the rest.
"Oyy, why did you only give a scroll to that guy. Give me one too."
Dean Wharton stepped forward from the crowd. Came as close to Joker"s projection as possible and demanded.
Just like that, Sam"s doubts disappeared.
Joker chuckled and waved his hand. A bunch of scrolls appeared out of nowhere and landed in the hands of the Deans. Dean Wharton looked at his and nodded with satisfaction.
"Thanks. I need something else from you too."
"Please mention it, Dean."
Wharton was about to speak, but then he noticed the rest of the Deans looking at him. He narrowed his eyes at them and turned towards Joker without whispering.
"These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds will eavesdrop if we speak now. I will message you later. You better keep some of your time free for me."
"Of course, Sir. Whenever you want."
The rest of the Deans looked at Wharton weirdly. Because even though he whispered, he didn"t actually say it in a low voice. It is loud and clear to everyone there.
Dean Wharton made a face at them and left the group. Joker turned to the rest of the group and addressed them. After some discussion, things went well, everyone just stayed silent for most of the time except for a few questions and went back.
To avoid the rush of the students, Sam a.s.signed separate days for the admissions of students from different academies.
The next ten days or so, things will be extremely busy. The next day, Joker gave out another announcement.
"Since all the students from different academies are eligible for the admission, I don"t see why the regular people on the Academy realm be excluded from this. Please join. As long as you can satisfy the conditions of the contract, then you are in."
Everyone is cheering for this.
Of course, there is one group of people among them, that felt like they swallowed a bunch of burning coals. The n.o.ble league.
They could almost feel the burn inside their guts. They couldn"t believe that the stage they set so meticulously is now benefitting everyone else. The advantage they thought they had on the rest of the students is now gone.
Christos in particular is fuming mad.
When he successfully convinced Joker to let the n.o.ble league be in this special training, he felt so smug about himself. He believed that he is great because he managed to fool a powerful guy like Joker.
Thinking back to that, he wanted to slap himself. And when he remembered the pa.s.sionate speech he gave to the n.o.ble league to make them agree to these ridiculous conditions, he felt even more embarra.s.sed.
A n.o.ble league meeting was called immediately to discuss the contingencies.
"So, you better have some solutions for our current predicament. With the current conditions, we are going to face some severe constraints on earning the coins.
The missions will not be enough. People are going to tear each other apart.
Our income for businesses has also reduced a lot because of Hub"s presence."
One of the seniors asked Christos. Even though they are technically the seniors here, the rules of their league is that the Grade 2 students too the ones who are in the Middle Stage of Divine Plane Initiation are the ones responsible for leading the n.o.ble league within the Academy region.
The Grade 3 and Grade 4 students have better things to do.
Christos also happened to have a better lineage compared to a lot of his peers and seniors, so he was selected as incharge. At that time, he felt very proud of himself. Now, he is seeing the downside of it all.
It is not easy being in charge. Particularly not when handling a crisis.
He sighed and spoke.
"I actually thought of this scenario before. I already prepared the strategy for this. But I didn"t think this situation will arrive at all, much less this soon. So, we need to iron out a few details."
As he spoke, he pushed out a few doc.u.ments forward to the members. They started skimming through them and felt a bit relieved and hopeful at the same time.
The plan is to increase the income of their coins. However, the coins are going to be scarce within the Academy realm. So, they need to find an alternative way to do this. However, there is one thing they have in abundance even though they don"t have any coins.
That is money.
Not just money, they have a lot of resources and territory under their control which will give me more money. Usually, they couldn"t find a proper use for this. After a certain point money becomes moot. It doesn"t matter how much the number increases, it is all the same.
But now, they can put it to proper use.
Of course, they cannot convert this unlimited money source into coins directly, but they can make sure of the exchange center to do it.
All the families of the people in the league will now start hiring people of different professions. There are many people who are conducting very high-level research outside of the Academy realm. Their families will sponsor the research and in exchange, they will give the end product blueprints to the families.
These families in turn send these blueprints to the students in the Academy realm. These people will use the blueprints to exchange for coins in the exchange center.
The missions might become scarce, but the exchange center can give out unlimited coins. As long as the blueprint is worth it, then the coins will keep on coming.
Not just the blueprints of formations and inscriptions, they can also dump a large amount of cultivation techniques, battle techniques, healing techniques, and anything they can get their hands on, that requires a good amount of research. They have conquered many areas and they are planning on doing more and in these conquests they have acquired many of these things.
They are not just going to focus on the quality of it, instead, their main goal is quant.i.ty. It is easy to find a low-quality cultivation technique. All they need to do is pick a prosperous city within a planet and pick a couple of thousand people at random.
And to acquire a much higher quality cultivation is actually harder. They can just tackle the coin target with sheer numbers.
Anyway, there are many places that are waiting to be conquered in the lists of all these families, they can use this opportunity to hit them a bit harder and do it.
There is also another strategy and that is solely dependent on the high-level professionals of the n.o.ble league. They are to go and utilize the resources available in the hub to create these new things. Any form of research results can be used to exchange for coins.
Once again, they just need to focus on getting as many research results as possible. It doesn"t matter what kind, as long as there are enough, they can get enough coins.
Another plan he noted down is to use the virtual simulation s.p.a.ce within the Hub to make money. A lot of seniors have experiences in many pocket dimensions and they partic.i.p.ated in a lot of battles and trials there.
Now, they are going to replay that and recreate that within the virtual s.p.a.ce and they will try to clear it with new methods. Then they are going to create a research doc.u.ment based on it.
Same with the battles regarding the beasts.
The list went on and on.
"You are very thorough."
The senior praised. Even though just like Christos said, there are multiple details that need to be ironed out, the plan is very solid with clear-cut instructions. They can implement it very soon.
"But we need to be careful with this. All of this needs to happen very subtly. Not a single soul other than our league should know about this.
Particularly the methods of farming the coins using a hub. The more people know about this, the more compet.i.tion we will have."
"Why do you sound so distressed?"
One of them asked.
Christos sighed again. He is worried and he can"t hide it.
"It is just the implications of these actions. I am sure the Deans already understood these implications. But they still opened up the training program to all the students. The strain on the economy will be immense.
I am just wondering what will this strain drive the people to do and how we should be prepared for this."
Only after he mentioned did some people understand his worries. Of course, some people simply couldn"t comprehend this. But Christos" worries are completely valid and Sam is kind of counting on those adverse effects.
