Chapter 448: Not the only Big Dog


    Jace was not the only yer who had found a way to cheat the system, however, he was the only one who was cheating the system on a significant scale repeatedly without having a hidden ss to support him.


    Unique sses in Terra Nova, although as rare as a Phoenix’s feather, did exist, and not every unique ss had the opportunity to be involved with the gamey from day one.


    Some hidden ss yers like Eren had to wait till the Demon War started for their hidden ss to trigger, while some were still waiting for their moment to shine.


    Whether it was through ack of opportunities, or ack of converting given opportunities into sess, not every hidden ss yer was as sessful as Leo, however, every unique ss yer was more or less more sessful than the average yer in the world of Terra Nova.


    One such unique ss yer who was waiting for his moment to shine was a yer called ‘Big Dawg’.


    Big Dawg was arguably the most broken yer in the world of Terra Nova, having the best cheat within the game world, second to only Cervantez with his future knowledge.


    The cheat that Big Dawg had, was a special ss called ‘The Seer’, which allowed him to see hidden information behind artifacts, dungeons, yers and more.


    While walking through a market full of products, Big Dawg could see the real price of every product disyed over it and also if the product had any hidden feature, he could see that too. The same went for dungeons, where he could see the presence of hidden rooms, end clear rewards and more before the dungeon run ever began, yet despite having all these advantages, Big Dawg was not a top 10,000 ranker.


    A victim of his own naivety, Big Dawg never took Terra Nova Online too seriously up till the second promotion exam, as being a Tier A resident from the start on the Arc Ship, he never had too much motivation to y the game to the highest level.


    Naturally, all this changed once the ship entered the rainbow stream and the physical bodies of all passengers started to alter with time.


    Everyday, his body felt stronger…. The breathing problems that he suffered from as a child started to be healed and he could perform small spells in the real world.


    It was at that moment that Big Dawg realized that Terra Nova Online was more than just a simple game and that for the sake of his own future, Big Dawg needed to focus on the game much more intensely than before.


    Hence, from that moment onwards, Big Dawg started to try hard for real within the game and started to leverage his unique ss advantage as much as he could, earning not just hefty sums of money from flipping items, but also leveling up quickly and finding hidden treasures.


    It was also due to his advantage that he managed to secure the 97th System Auction Ticket, by finding the hidden treasure room to a tricky dungeon, and since securing the ticket, he worked hard to raise both money and MP for the system event.


    Having a 7 weeks head start on Leo for the same, and his insane cheat to rely on, Big Dawg was swimming in money as the System Auction date drew closer, with him also feeling confident that he would be able to crush and outbid any potentialpetitor, as long as the bidding currency was gold coins alone.

    ( Meanwhile Leo )


    After returning to Crest-Hill Barony and formting his short term n, Leo leisurely invited all the big merchant group representatives for a meeting and began discussing with them his newest product the ‘Anti-Aging’ cream.


    For the sake of the System Auction, Leo was looking to sell the product in one-go and holding a very small royalty fee from its future sales, as he wanted to off-load this magical product from his hands as fast as possible.


    Shane’s White Tiger Group offered him a one time fee of 25 million gold coins to buy the exclusive production rights to the cream, plus a 5% profit split for perpetuity, which was a pretty solid offer.


    However, their offer was outdone by the Green Jade group, who offered him 30 million gold coins and a 10% profit split for perpetuity.


    Unfortunately, with the war climate worsening and the effects of the shifting markets hitting the other Merchant Groups hard, nobody else could match the offer that these bigger groups shared, with the ck Tortoise Grouping the closest with a low 15 million offer.


    In the end, Leo decided to sign with the Green Jade Group, who offered him the best deal for the Anti-Aging cream, officially starting his cooperation with Wade’s group.


    Recently, with the demon war intensifying, the demand for weapons and armor had shot through the roof, earning the Green Jade Group significant chunks of money, however, Wade knew that he could not rely on a war economy forever.


    Sooner orter, peace was going to return and for the future of his group this anti-aging cream was extremely important, and hence even though the price of 30 million was a very steep amount to pay all at once, he still did it by keeping an eye for the future.


    Naturally, with the matter of the Chain Quest still pending, Leo made sure to add uses in their contract which allowed him to have some control in the marketing and distribution of the product, as one of the aspects of the chain quest was to create hype around the sale of his products.


    Leo also ensured that the products were only sold under thebel of his personal brand and that everyone in the Empire knew that the products that they were enjoying were created by Leo Skyshard.


    Luckily for him, this deal happened at the perfect time, as just two short days after he received the money, the system auction invitation suddenly went live, with someone having found thest and final invite.
