Karl watched the timer tick down as they dropped the final boss for the fourth time that day.
Three full runs had been completed in the Iron Man timer, with seconds to spare. It was better than they had dared to hope for, but with every run, [Predation] made them more effective, and they all gained a bit more experience with what skills did the most damage for the least energy expenditure.
That wasn’t something that most of them normally practiced.
It wasn’t something that mattered when your primary consideration was finishing the dungeon without major injuries. Taking a few more minutes on a fight was better than rushing things and risking a careless mistake.
{Timer Expired} Calculating total rewards
{Total Rewards Calculated} Please open chest to complete event
Elder Alix walked over to the vibrantly glowing chest and tapped it to open it and see what they had received.
What he got was an explosion of rewards.
The chest began spewing items like a fountain, tossing them out onto the ground one after another. Armour pieces, weapons, accessories, books, scrolls, gems, blocks of metal.
"That is glorious." Cara sighed happily as she watched the loot fountain flow.
"It really is, isn’t it.
Was there anything that your team wanted out of this run? We can sort out personal rewards before giving the rest to the warehouse for shared credits." Elder Alix noted.
"Just the crafting materials. We don’t really need the items unless there is something absolutely awesome in there," Karl offered.
He could make most of the good stuff himself, there was no need to get lazy and grab it from the dungeon.
Socrate nodded. "That works for us. If we get you to take the crafting materials, other than the alchemy materials that I need, we already know that you’re going to upgrade them and sell much of it back to the Clan.
That’s good for everyone.
Sure, they’ll have to pay for it, but they’re going to have to pay for the other items as well, it’s how we take Clan Credits back out of circulation."
Cara made a very important discovery from his words.
"You alter the payouts for missions to reflect how much stuff you have in storage. If you get too much, you start giving more generous rewards so that the members buy it all up.
The fact that they can change it for cash to make smaller transactions is just background noise that helps keep the credit system from getting out of hand."
"And you found a way to exchange clan credits for more cash than the market rate. Don’t think that I don’t keep track of Karl’s account balance." Socrate noted.
Remi also bought and sold goods on Karl’s account, as the system linked the beasts to his interface.
