Chapter 541 The seventh system auction
Rudra still had 6 days left until the restriction on his body was lifted and since Karna and the others were still inside the event dungeon , Rudra decided to take Amelia with him to the auction.
This was the first time Rudra was taking Amelia out of the guild , as basically she was the shut-in boss of the guild , who worked 24/7 365 , However with Rudra experiencing the perils of administration life in the recent days , he grew to value Amelia more and hence brought her along with him to have some well deserved vacation .
Amelia was very upbeat about this suggestion , as except the initial parts of the game where she did level up a bit and play the game as a player , she was basically Stuck at the same level since years and had never really explored other aspects of the game. Hence a field trip with the boss Rudra sounded amazing to her.
Finally when the time for the auction came , all the registered parties got a system invite

A series of system logs appeared before Rudra , as he looked oddly at the system notification screen.
Apparently this time around only having a lot of money would not land someone the spots in VIP room , as fame and influence were also being factored in by Gaia , making it more closer to the real world scenario than just a game.
This was the general theme in Omega , as slowly the game was fading away from a fake virtual world towards a total independent world ,as it followed the law of actions have consequences.
At the first system auction nothing mattered , as everyone with money could participate , wether it was individuals or sects or whoever.
However now at the seventh system auction , the capability of a single player was completely challenged and many other factors were factored in for the bidding , with prefferential treatment given to special people.
This was exactly how reality worked with some people having advantage over others , even though they were not as rich as the other party.
This was because money is not everything and power and prestige is also a huge part of life , and hence Gaia factors everything as time went on.
Rudra could technically have brought 7 people with him , however he chose to only bring Amelia with him as the other members who he would usually hangout with were all inside the dungeon.
Naomi , Karna , Fatty nobody was around to accompany him .
Karna's absence was particularly regretful because Karna was the chosen son of heaven , and his insane luck got the guild the designs for the archballistae , a weapon that was still used for nation wide defense by the guild.
Hence it would only be the two of them for now , with Amelia given the freedom to bid on any one item that she wanted for herself with a budget cap of 1 billion dollars , or 2 million gold coins.
Rudra paid Amelia an annual salary of 3 billion dollars , making her the highest paid individual in the guild . However her work deserved the price and her management of the guild was just picture perfect . Hence no matter the price Amelia had to be kept happy .
Amelia naturally fought over Rudra with this proposal , as she would much rather take cash rather than an item in-game , however when Rudra refused to budge from his proposal , she accepted the deal , warning Rudra that taking women shopping was an expensive affair.
However Rudra had faith in her , Amelia literally did all the logistics for the guild , she knew better than anyone just how filthy rich this guild was , and what kind of a backing was that of Ethan Grey.
Hence if her eyes were to have sparked from money , that would have happened a longtime ago and not in this auction.
However her eyes did spark when the duo entered the uber luxurious room at the auction house , that was practically at the very top of the auction house that looked as big as a football stadium , with many full screen HD display TVs , that would show a close-up of the item being auctioned below.
Velvet interior with gold lined furniture , everything in Rudra's room screamed luxury.
There were three different monitors built inside his room , one which displayed the item that was being auctioned , second which displayed the item's stats and other important information and third that showed the person who was currently bidding for it.
This was a feature exclusive to the kings room as even the VIP room only had one monitor built in that showed the same thing that was being shown on the big screen monitor.
Whistling sound , Amelia whistled looking at the room , as she nodded at Rudra and said " Not bad , bring Ruby here and you might have had some action ".
Rudra blushed red , it was a very inappropriate refference made by Amelia , however he only coughed and let it slide , as he tried to focus on the auction that had not started yet.
Unknown to him , inside box number VIP3 , his self proclaimed biggest enemy and the man with one of the deepest pockets sat in this auction.
Dronacharya was ready to rumble !
