19 19. Money! Money! Money!
Sunny rested at the side of the NTG's hall for some time and again fought against a different sub-race of the Elf Race.
For the next one hour and half, Sunny fought with different Elf sub-races. He gained significant benefits with the training session, as he got know the many ways in which a mage could fight.
Sunny then choose to fight against some monsters found in the vicinity of the Indraprastha City next.
After gaining some experience fighting the monsters, he spent some time training against various races different class holders. Goblins, Antica, Orc and Centaurs were the priority practice target due to them sharing border with Human Domain.
The main reason Sunny choose to play VWPS was to earn money, while being able to enjoy the process was a bonus merit. His motive to be the first player to reach level 10 and entering the main pocket dimension was also related to money.
Now that he is sure to earn his first fortune, Sunny decided to take it slow and increase his battle experience first. There also wasn't any danger of death and death penalty this way. Although the speed at which skill level rises is slower by the factor of 10 compared to fighting real monsters and enemies, it doesn't matter that much to Sunny.
Every player in the top hundred of the player rankings are playing the game for at least 5 years. Even if he stays first in terms of level, sooner or later the top player's experience and familiarity with VR Games will automatically push them forward.
That is why Sunny isn't rushing to wild zone to increase his level faster. After all, even with the [Death Penalty Negation Token] to mitigate four of the death penalties, any one of the penalty will take time or precious resources to recover. Some hours of practice is better than the death penalties.
He wasn't worried about being left far behind anyway. Even after he would have revealed the method, players will take at least 5 to 8 hours to reach the requirement of 75% accuracy in six supreme characters.
At most 1000 players would be able to reach level 10 on the fifth day anyway. And the [Exp Boost Token]-D will further help to bridge whatever gap between him and top players, if there would be any.

Village #273, Sparse Mountain Range;
At the entrance of a mountain valley with sparse vegetation, a party of 5 females were resting. The leader of the party had her concentration locked onto the virtual chat page in front of her. Her brows were frowning as she waited for a response from the opposite party.
Seeing no response for quite some time, She closed the virtual page and took some deep breaths. Soon, her frowned eyebrows relaxed and she put the matter aside.
"Sister Qian, what did he said? Did he agreed to share the method to exit the Village Dimension?" The youngest girl of the party asked the leader with a eager and excited expression on her face.
"No Yu'er. He didn't read my message yet. Many players are probably trying to reach out to him now. Maybe he has blocked all notification because of that. Anyway, we can't waste time contacting him. Let's go and keep your eyes open for any peculiarity.
"Avoid clashing with monsters for now. We already reached level 10 now." The leader of the party, Sword Genius addressed to her party members and started to walk into the valley.
She thought that since they had cleared the [Instance Dungeon] together and could be considered acquaintance he will be willing to share the information. For a price of course. After all, he knows that she will be establishing a guild soon and this little lead would be beneficial to the cause.
But alas, she was met with disappointment as he hadn't even read her messages. But she had already put those thoughts aside and didn't care about it anymore.
Her party members followed along with some dissatisfied expression, but they refrained themselves from expressing it.
Only the girl Yu'er was muttering some childish names under her breath in a small voice. "Doofus, stone head, idiot, stinky poo, ..."
As Sword Genius speculated, Sunny already estimated that he already knows the method to enter main pocket dimension, large number of players will try to contact him. Therefore, he has already switched off every notification about VR Forum.
Since his VR Forum account isn't premium yet, he can't filter private and public message. With premium account, the VR Forum A.I. will help manage his account and this type of problem will not occur again.

Sunny logged out of the game at 11:00 Pm (GMT +5:30). After dinner and some light exercise he went to bed happily thinking of the small fortune he will see tomorrow morning.
At 6:30 Am the next day, after waking up, Sunny first checked the amount of money in his bank account.
__Account Holder: Sunny
Identification No.: *******5299
Balance: 3,086,690 ⨄⨭... __
Sunny stood up from his bed in shock. Prior to money earned from post, his account only had 17,540 ⨄⨭. It means he earned a total of 3,069,150 ⨄⨭ from only 2 post. That's almost three times the amount he saved in 7 years of his previous life.
He hurriedly operated his HW and checked his post in VR Forum.
The price to open the post explaining information about the method to exit village was set at 10 ⨄⨭. Since the target costumers were regular players, 10 ⨄⨭ is a good price. Anyone can afford to spend that much and won't feel a pinch.
Total of 64,265 players had paid for this post. That's five times the number Sunny has estimated and this came as a great shock to him. After all, most players are still 1 to 2 days away from reaching level 10. By then, the information of the post would have already been available without paying.
'Looks like the impact of SSS Achievement is far higher than I thought.' Sunny concluded after some deliberation that the higher number of purchase is related to the anonymous player achievement.
A few moments later, Sunny came back to his senses and checked about the second post. One had to pay 500 ⨄⨭ to read this one. This post's main targeted costumers were guilds.
Seeing the number of people who paid to view this post, Sunny again was extremely startled.
4,853!!! Although 500 ⨄⨭ isn't very big amount and any C-Class Guild can spend that without batting an eye, they won't have enough to spend on every information post.
But again that SSS achievement forced the guilds to take some small risk for the valuable information. Sunny believed that at most 200 to 400 purchase of the second post.
'This type of windfall won't come second time, that I am sure of.' Thought Sunny as his attention again shifted to his account balance.
After calming down from the shock, he began to feel giddy and happiness overwhelmed inside him. He now felt like being able to buy the 99% immersion VRpod which will be released in 2 months and 3 week time.
He also thought about hiring a professional trainer at the gym from next month. He also thought about buying VR Forum premium, latest HW model, latest HB model, etc.
He then began to daydream slightly.
A few moments later, he woke up from his reverie and hurried to finish his morning rituals and then to gym.
He logged into the game at 11:00 Am sharp just like everyday. As he appeared outside the NTG, he noticed some players roaming about here and there. Players have octahedron shape icon above their head, while NPC doesn't have anything like that. NPC are also able to see the player icon.
'Looks like top players have already entered the main dimension.' Sunny thought inwardly and then entered back into the Newbie Training Ground.
He plans to train for 7 hours and then go out of the city. To a place where there will be good density of monster to bring out the full potential of [Exp Boost Token]-D.

In the pitch-black empty void, ninety-four million six hundred and eight thousand (94,608,000) sticks were present. Four hundred and thirty-two thousand (432,000) of them were dim and more were dimming by the second like some sort of count-down.
"Hmm... interesting. Something like this popped up at 'The Origin' and we didn't even sense it. If I hadn't used my full sense to find out about the previous anomaly, even I wouldn't have found it. The others are still ignorant about this.
"I have to inform them quickly. Who knows, what await us after all this will be dimmed? Whatever it may be, they will welcome it anyway if it's something new."
An ethereal and indifferent voice rang out in the void as an otherworldly female appeared close to the sticks. A few moments, she vanished just as quickly as it came.
