Chapter 468 - Improvements
Chapter 468 - Improvements
Rudra finally raised a capital of whopping 32 trillion dollars ! Putting his guilds overall valuation at 640 trillion dollars , surpassing the value of Grey international by quite a fair margin .
The child had surpassed the parent , however Ethan Grey was only all smiles about it as his share in the guild was by no means small , as his return on investment was phenomenal.
The world was already calling Ethan as the investor of the millenium , picking up Rudra as early as he did , while Rudra became a big boss worth big money in real world.
Fortunately Rudra was not interested in real world politics and only cared about Omega. And considering that he managed an entire Dukedom , nearly the size of Texas in the real world , the valuation of his guild was by no means astronomic. Infact the stock traded at 0.8 times book value , as just the land that the Elites owned , if theoretically all sold would be worth more than that.
However the economic side of things was not important , the important part was that Rudra now had funds to massively improve the quality of the territory he controlled.
Rudra poured immense funds into mining the natural iron and coal resources in his land , by funding 6 mine projects. While also greatly improving unemployment in the process.
Rudra who initially had to make conservative designs for the construction of the three forts the elites were building for security , was now remodelling them to be absolutely impregnable , using higher end materials for the job , retrofitting each with dragon screech devices and Dragonhead flamethrowers along with the Archballistae.
Rudra invited 2 mercenary organizations to his territory giving them 2 villages to act as their base in return for providing security against external threats when called upon.
While also more money into the army , increasing the quality of military training and equipment that the army was fitted with to a better grade.
Smithy's across the Dukedom were working full-time as the state gave every single Smithy a huge order for weapons and armours. Making the blacksmiths hire a lot of help to keep up with demand.
Overall the situation became such that Rudra nearly eradicated unemployment , as money was flowing through the economy , as people became more content and happy.
Crime rate went down and the territory hoped to be moving towards a time of economic stability. While Rudra was farming massive amounts of popularity because of these measures in the process.
Rudra realized this early on , that nothing gave as much popularity as becoming a ruler of a nation. Although he was just a Duke , he was an independent territory administrator not paying any yearly tax to the centre and the emperor. Hence although technically Rudra's territory was a Dukedom of Hazelgroove kingdom , he was by all means and purposes a king of a really small territory.
That gave Rudra the benefit that everything good that he did for the NPC population gave him a rise in popularity . Something he desperately needed in abundance for the technique he was practicing.
As most of the days now , he would be busy either administrating his territory or farming for levels while improving his skills.
The time outside of Omega Rudra was devoted to cultivation , as he would rather meditate and cultivate than sleep , as he felt more rejuvinated doing the former.
The cultivation technique that he learnt in Omega was also effective in real life , as he would guide the qi in his body along the path he had memorized , feeling ecstasy after completion of every cycle.
Little by little Rudra's physical constitution kept improving as he saw rapid progress in terms of his level and overall combat prowess. Him having learnt too many skills too fast , he was unable to bring a 100% out of himself as he had a wide array of choices to make , as he would not always pick the best skill at the best time .
But with him continuously engaging in fierce levelling activities and dungeon runs of nightmare mode dungeons often as a solo player. He slowly got a better grip over his skillset.
Things were going well for him personally as he even visited vanaheim once , being treated like a hero , sharing dinner with the royal family. As he managed to get a few hours of intense kissing and cuddling with Ruby before leaving.
Him meeting Ruby greatly consoled her , as well as reenergized him , reminding him of the purpose he had infront of him currently . Which was to expand his Dukedom into a kingdom as soon as he got the chance.
With 6 more months of his year long protection period left , and all the projects for the internal stability of the territory and overall prosperity of the population already underway. It was finally time for Rudra to take the next step and start building strength to take the war to Nineclouds kingdom and Aquahose Kingdom .
Rudra wanted to tear down those kingdoms , one town at a time as he was hungry to expand his area of influence as soon as possible. For him it was time to expand the Hazelgroove kingdom into the Hazelgroove Empire. While expanding the Elite Dukedom into the Elite kingdom!

( Meanwhile in hell )
Aman looked full of vitality again , completely unlike a necromancer as for the first time in his life since he was a teenager he had bulging muscles again.
It was the divine blood flowing in his veins that greatly improved his health condition , as his weakest stat , his vitality had improved by leaps and bounds in these months.
While Micheal was furious sensing how his descendant was with Lucifer in his clutches , The Strongest angel could not just barge into hell and slaughter his way to save a descendant that did not even want to get out in the first place.
However seeing Lucifer raise his blood as a sheep for slaughter , Micheal was distressed , as he contacted sariel in frustration over what to do.
And although Micheal could not save the descendant himself , Sariel informed him about a peculiar human who had saved his direct son once who was a follower of the goddess of life and the light.
Hence unknowingly and unwantingly Rudra was going to have a quest headed his way ....
An utterly impossible and ridiculous one , but one with incredible rewards and opportunities waiting for him!
