how is his cousin oracle rank higher then him anyway?.are't the only way to increase rank is ordeal?.did I forgot another way?.so. freaking confuse. please tell me.
George was involved with the Govt so im assuming he had information about oracle ranks, Ordeals Ect. So he probably knew that oracle rank could be increased by killing Digesters and good scores in Ordeals. After the first ordeal Jake said that he should’ve ranked up by killing digesters (to lvl 3 i think) before the ordeal to get the most effective results. The oracle rank xp required increases a lot every level making ordeals the only realistic way to lvl. So im guessing George knew to lvl to the soft cap (lvl 3?) before completing the first ordeal making his rank higher than Jakes.
Brice and George acted like dumbasses, they had literally nothing to gain from provoking Jake at this point, he already gave them a ticket out, which they could easily manage on their own. Instead they degraded their relation with Jake and each other, further pushing the story in a zero sum game between them. If I was them, I would use Jake softness for his family despite his borderline hatred. They could have milked him for a long time if they acted like family was important to them at the very least!
ark, one business idea I haven't been able to get out of my mind. Knowledge is power, more so on this world as it is related to survival, make better use of opportunities, better tools, better decision making, and better usage of aether stats. So why don't Jake or Will make a business buying and selling it? as you can buy once and trade many times over or sell. And for advertisement they could use oracle paths to lead people that could do mutually beneficial business to guide them there.
