Chapter 71 - The Event Dungeon  

As the party of 54 members entered the nightmare mode of a 100 man dungeon , there was an instant buzz ... Noone doubted the skills of the True Elites. However challenging a special event dungeon , infamous for its difficulty with almost 50% members, critically enhancing the difficulty of clear by 200 to 300% was a foolish idea .

The news about them entering went hot in the forums , while another round of betting ensued.... However shockingly this time the odds were in True Elites favour , for some reason at 1.5:1 payout ... The results of the war , had changed the people's perception of possible .

Upon entering the system announcement was heard

You have now entered the event dungeon Nature's revenge .... Current party members 54/100 .... Goodluck!

The event dungeon had started .... This dungeon had lots of nature type monsters , dryads , thunder horned goats .... And a special type of vengeful nature spirit.

Even being at a disadvantage in total number of parry members .... The party being tier one still managed to move quickly through the dungeon.

Under Rudra ' s carefull leadership waves after waves of Dryads were defeated .

The mages were of prime importance in this dungeon , with the tanks taking damage , they castes AOE spells of fire type , that were super effective inside the dungeon .

The assaulters did minimal job for the first few rounds. Tackling one enemy at a time. The pacing was not bad overall and everyone in the party levelled up about 3 hours into mob grinding.

Well everyone exept Rudra , at level 33 he needed a little more exp to gain a level.

Rudra allowed the party to rest , uptill now they had farmed about 240 merit points and quite a bit of loot.

The dryads all gave one merit point on dying while the thunder goats gave four and the nature spirits gave 8 . The wizards were visibly exhausted at this point .

The next phase of the dungeon was going to be veryy intresting .... It would be the source of farming insane exp and merits .

The next phase of the dungeon had a bug ... The room had a hidden exit about 30 meters uptop , however to reach there you first had to reach the ledge 25 m above. The walls of the entire room was lined with a thin ledge about 25m from the ground with a small exit at the rightmost corner.

The special exit to this room was given as when the party entered the room , suddenly the floodgate would be opened and about 3000 mountain goats would charge out .... If this was not enough , the goats had almost infinite respawn ..... From the open floodgate , one goat came out every 10 seconds.

This stage was meant to be escaped and not cleared. Only by slaying all the goats present , will the floodgates close. However where the game designers made the mistake was..... The goats attacks could not reach the height of the narrow ledge ..... Once climbed , though they would be on a narrow ledge awkardly , they could easily kill goats for exp.

And with the infinite respawn , untill one was carefull not to kill all the goats.?Couldnt they just sit there levelling?

This was a bug..... In his previous life , the party to find this bug had almost toppled Neatwit's number one position in levelling ..... But what was more important was the merit points.

Rudra planned on farming the bug for as long as he could .... To gain maximum number of merit points. He needed 150K merit points for gaining the rewards he wanted..... With gaining 4 merit points every 10s he could earn 24 merit points a minute .....1440 merit points an hour?..... According to his knowledge , it took the game developers 46 hours to spot the bug once detected ..... That gave him a chance to earn 66,240?merit points ..... Includint the initial 12000 from killing the 3000 goats it came to 78000 , with dungeon clear bonus being 3000 , and also some miscellaneous killings till the clear he would have about?85K merit points ..... The exp could not even calculated ... His party would get to level 40? 42? .... This was going to be a wild ride ..... His heart beated with exitement.

He summoned his character pannel

Well , these stats would change very soon ...Rudra smiled ... He explained his crazy plan to his team , and saw everyone's shocked faces.... This... The leader was crazy .... Level up for as long as they can?? Can such a bug really appear .... If it did how come it is not exploited by the finder first .

Wait how does he have such crutial information?

Why does he always know stuff?

Thinking this MonkeyKingEnma asked Rudra " Guild leader we are yet to attempt the tiral .... How do you know this information?"

Rudra smiled .... He expected this to happen and he said " The adventurer party?wildhorses posted a dungeon run video .... If you observe carefully you will see that there is a ledge in the room and a narrow escape point ..... Although they did not spot it ... I did ....?Comparing the height of an average player to that of the wall , i estimated it to be 25 m high .... With knowledge read about thunder Mountain goats in the library i know they cant reach higher than 20m in jump... Putting 2+2 i came with the crazy theory".

Silence..... There was absolute silencs... The leader was a genuis! No doubt about it ..... This is what a genuis really is , just a glance at a Dungeon run video and he created such an insane plan... Respect!

MAD RESPECT!
