Chapter 79: Clearing the bell challenge (1/2)
For Rudra the most important thing currently was to amass the required merit points to exchange for the top 2 items.
After recruiting Orochimaru , Rudra gained 18K merit points , which meant he only needed 15k or so to be sure of reaching the 150K mark .
The positive of Orochimaru clearing the bell challenge was that , after his rise to fame for clearing the challenge , there was an outburst of players in Hazelgroove kingdom attempting. The event became extremely popular , with how far you can go being a testament of your strength.
On the final day of the 7 day event , the gaming company cuber , seeing the popularity of the bell challenge decided to divide it into 3 modes , only for the final day after locking the merit points prize. Everyone could attempt the event for free , just for today.
Easy , normal and nightmare.
The price pool was 10K merit points for clearing in normal mode .
5 K in easy mode
And. 15 K in nightmare mode
With the merit point multipliers as 0.5x , 1x and 1.5 x
There were 16000 easy mode clears
Basically the normal mode was the mode everyone was playing in uptill now , with only 70 clears uptill now in the entire game , thirty in western continent , ten in eastern continent , thirty in northern continent.
And only one nightmare mode clear in southern continent by a player named NotYourAverageJoE .
Rudra never experienced this in his past life , if he thinks logically , just Orochimaru clearing the Hazelgroove kingdom bell challenge was something different that happened , however the last day event was changed. It was a change that never happened before .
No matter how hard he thought , he could not connect the dots to why the game organizers would change the set event.
However that meant that Rudra now had to clear the challenge in nightmare mode difficulty.
When Rudra reached the event area for the bell challenge , he saw a crowd of players queing to attempt the challenge.
There were approximately a 2 Km line infront of the easy mode challenge , with a huge spectating crowd , cheering and booing challengers , having a good time.
The normal mode line , has a lower line with about .5 km line , but the amount of spectators were the most. About 30 thousand people spectating the event.
The least number of participants were in the nightmare mode , with only 10 to 15 people Queuing for the challenge. With the lowest spectator crowd at about 5 thousand. But it was the most wild crowd , who were there to leach from others miseries.
They were there to boo the hell out of every challenger , and see their dreams of clearing the challenge be crushed by the plants.
After waiting 15 minutes in the queue , Rudra's turn was up next , just as he went on the stage , someone from the crowd shouted.
” Hey , newbie , state your name and organization ”.
Rudra completely ignored the man and focused on the countdown till the challenge started.
Boos were raining from the crowd now
” Hmph , arrogant bastard , lets see how bad you fail , i bet you cant even reach 5 meters ”.
” Another newbie , thinking he s some hotshot , who will clear the nightmare mode , failing in 5 seconds ”.
BOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
