Chapter 24: Is this a Date? Why does it feel like a Buisness Meet (1/2)
As he entered the cafè , he saw PinkLotus sitting there alone on a 2 seat table , looking at the menu. He walked over and pulled a chair to sit .
She looked at him smiling. Rudra's heart skipped a beat ... soo beautiful. He said ” Sorry to keep you waiting”.
” No problem , I just got here too , iv taken the liberty to order two specials ... i hope thats fine with you ”.
Rudra said yes , he was actually delighted he would have thought really hard about what to order to make a good impression otherwise.
Wow, this was awkward , what should he say next? Rudra was just at a loss for words ..... after 10 seconds of awkward silence he said ” Hows things with your guild ? ”.
PinkLotus said ” All good , we need in game currency though to strengthen the core members and get the first cash cycle running”.
”How is your guild coming ? Got a token yet?” she asked
” M alone soo far ..... I have a token yes ”. Taking this chance he said
” How much money do you need ? ”.
” As much as we can get .... we are really in a crunch right now soo about 1000 gold would be excellent , but we cannot even get 100 even if we try trading or buying with everything we have , nobody has that kind of money to offer ... most guilds buy currency from individual players hence it is extremely competitive ... and our farming teams simply cant farm more than 50 gold a day”. She sighed
” I can sell you gold if you want ”. Rudra said nonchalantly
PinkLotus smiled .... the guy was sweet he probably had 10 gold or something on him but was ready to sell it to help her guild , still to give him face she said
” How much are you planning to sell ? ”
” I cant sell too much as i need money to run my guild as well ..... but seeing as you are in a crunch i can give u 2000 gold ”.
Yua was stunned speechless ” What how do you have soo much money? , my entire guild has only 700 gold worth assests , liquid money is less than 300 ”
” If you want to buy , m here to sell ”. Rudra said not bothering to explain
Yua after recovering from her shock was overjoyed beyond belief .... This was exactly what she needed to consolidate her guild right now
” what is your maximum selling limit , i will buy it all at a premium ..... The current black market dealing for 1 gold is nearly 7000 gold but i am willing to offer a 100 dollar premium and buy it at bulk for 7100 if you offer me more than 3000 gold ”.
The price was higher than Rudra remembered but it is reasonable currently. When the game had soo little gold in circulation ofcourse its value will be high ... it will start breaking after the auction house opens for 2 years before stabilizing at 5000 from there on .
Still he did not wanna rip Yua off he said ” I can sell you 4000 gold but you are overpaying me , i will not RIP you off , although it seems you can afford it. 6500 is a fair price ”.
Yua was moved ..... she never thought he would willingly lower the price of a commodity over which he had absolutely dominating position. Yua needed the gold badly , the 3500 gold would give her an immense leap over the opposition .
Maybe this is what Friendship is? She was more drawn in by this mysterious player named 'Shakuni'
For the first time in her life she said ” Hey im Yua Nakatomi ” as she extended her hand.
Rudra was shocked she revealed her identity soo easily ? Although Rudra knew it before hand but still ... this was an honest gesture.
