The POGventures Journal ~ Day 200

Uhhh, most likely will get Meso Explosion when lvl 90+, don't like it much f3

 

Today was a really fun.. FUN day to negotiate and become the most absolute pepega businessman in-game.
I want to talk to you, yes you reader about leeching services, to what extent can we break the hegemony brought upon us from the Bishops, lurking all our low lvl maps to sell leech?
We have to fight them, as simple gamers!

Spoiler: Fight the Hegemony

As t'was the day, I got a CS, I finally rediscovered my innate survival instinct of bartering prices like a maniac, confusing my traders into selling me services at an up-mark for which I would profit.
And lo and behold, thus the businessman shenanigans started.

A poor fellow sold me some solo GS2 for 5m to later on refund me half of that, given I've found a partner after a mere 30 minutes of leech, at that point I've confused him into thinking I've already paid him, given I had paid him 5m. For that he started selling leech BUT, my fellow partner disconnected and, for that brief following 45 minutes no word has been spoken, after the impending disconnection happened we finally find my partner logging back with a mere "sorry bad internet" and, at that point, the seller just gave in for free an hour for him, me included. (5m - 2.5m = 2.5m for 30min+45min+1hr)

During that hour my friend Hiyo was interested in getting some juicy GS1 leech and for that, I've talked with the guy to move onto GS1 to get the service done there, promising on giving him 10m for 5 hours (giving him a total of 20m)... but as he was to trade with my friend he said that the party was already full... and for that he denied the trade... and leeched all 5 players (old partner included) for an amazing 4.5hr.

Sadly tho, after that endeavour has ended, our friendly seller wanted to go back to Kerning, helping his fellow friend.

A second trader came into play, this time, by playing our cards right, by having 4 chars to leech, we got a discount! A discount given we were getting less experience, yes a friendly leech vendor.
But a problem struck... he didn't speak much english, so I've brought upon my lingual skills to describe the situation and to barter the final price.

As for that... I'm just a business man doing business... but in Spanish ;^)

Meanwhile, shop hasn't sold much after the scrolls I've gained from Gacha.
I'm right now looking up for tomorrow, a cleaner pixel game where businessman can do their business.

 

Never underestimate businessman trying to barter your prices

 

Today was quite a chill day I did an hour of WR, just to get to CDs level range and... of the shenanigans happening yesterday, with the 2 gachas I stole I got a Gloves MA 30% and WA 30%, I undercut their prices to sell them more easily / fast.
Another 4m coming from random scrolls that were in my store.

I finally got the time to grab from FatSloth the Khanjar he wanted to give me almost 2 days ago XD


Finally we are one step closer to the best Maple Emote I've created yesterday : Shadge

All I require is a good Dragon's Tail, which I'll most likely use to grind cards from 80+

Another good moment of the day was that I've helped a newbie with some gear I had around in my storage, I didn't really see it useful to me, so I donated to him.
Hopefully he has a better time with the warrior low accuracy <3

Health

• Didn't go climbing today (felt a bit of muscle soreness on my left foot) :S
• Did 15min of yoga / stretches

Job Search

• Complete desolate desert, no notifications or anything today
• Did 2 LeetCode medium problems (man I legit gotta understand Data Structures with Python lmao, having problems understanding if some particular implementations are possible with Python, as I'm more experienced with using C)
• Reading on M1-chip arm64 and compatibilities for VMs and such
  (future purchase, want it to play ML )

Life

• Started listening more to Jazz instrumentals, relaxes over listening to Techno / EDM / Disco music
• Journaling day-to-day more often, even writing a small summary of the day (for future reads)

 

Tonight was a chill night, slowly starting to farm Card Sets (+13) from yesterday and bought more leech with Hiyo's charade of mules to get to lvl 75~80, from where the card journaling will start.

The best feeling was that, in the 3 hours of card sets farming I was able to get 14 gachas
I think that I'm an absolute Gacha Factory machine heh.

Tomorrow I'm hoping of getting to LVL 75+ and then advancing to Chief Banditooo

 

Heck yeah! Today we got to LVL 85 with absolute pepega amounts of leech, expect me too buwust levels even more in next days as Hiyo is basically indebted to my businessman trade expertise.

What a fast week journey to these LVLs... I want to thank every one that gz'ed me in chat and has been chatting / having fun with me.


And... oh shit he's right

I spoiled the series

I wanna thank the Discord chat, for pepega-ing with me in the last 9 days and nights up to 4-5am (yeah I'm a degen).

Now that I finally got to CB status, and have BandofThieves maxed I'm looking at three different gameplay stages in the next days :

• Card Farming, Hopefully get to 150/300 sets completed in next 14 days
• Gear Farming / Merching, I want to get Top/Bottom and scroll them good enough to last up to midgame (not godly)
• Complete my leech services that I'm indebted for (Hiyo <3)

Spoiler: IRL

Health

• Yoga stretching and general home workout (planks, pushups, bulgarian split squats)
• Might go climbing tomorrow or Sunday at a bigger climbing gym (5+ hours noice)
• Still having problems finding free slots at gym

Job Search

• Got some update mails from applications about CV reviewing in next 2 weeks, who knows
  • 2-year Data Science Program
• Got a job referral (idk how tbh) to Palantir Technologies for a 1-year program, next week I'm talking to a tech recruiter
  ( I feel like I'm not smart / experienced enough to even get a job there tbh )

Life

• After yesterdays talk about Keyboards on ML Discord I started looking at <$100 cheap keyboards and found a really nice one... might actually invest in it, given my Arrow keys don't work correctly
  ( My arrow keys switches are broken, right now its basically like using a phone display keyboard lol, super sensible and missclicks )
• As usual I watch random youtube videos and learn a ton of stuff, philosophical, technological, engineering wise.
  I will leave some links here below to some nice videos I watched today :

Its because you are my favourite degen discord peepo

 

As it can be seen, today has been a complete leech day, mostly to repay part of the debts from previous leeching days.
Me and Hiyo been camping uwu 1 and uwu 2 all day, giving sadness to the local meat trying to grab maps or sell us leech.


The YEP gang went hardcore today on uwu maps and, at the end of the day, Hiyo went to bed with his beloved 100m+ in raw profits

Earlier in the morning, before Hiyo wanted to start the LVLing train, I farmed some cards and reached Tier 1 Ring, will go grab it later on tomorrow.

Interesting of the fact that, I have been able of washing up to HP 4487

Spoiler: IRL

Health

• Did 30 minutes of stretching
• Used my Grip strengthener for a couple of pinches and full hand holds
• Tomorrow I'm going climbing most of the afternoon, so no real update tomorrow

Job Search

• Fixed my graph of jobs, will post on Monday to begin the new week with more depression
• Wrote down a list of more jobs to apply to, will do on Monday
• Did one Leetcode medium (was really braindead today)

Life

• Been talking with Hiyo about IRL future dreams, problems with job search and such, as always love talking with him
• Looking at budget PC builds, maybe when I get a wage I'll invest in something that can play games (!mac kekw)

 

Today was YEP not gaming day, I generally just logged in to trade some INT gear and to chat with guildies / SwordnBoard new pet-project (cough shadower as well cough)

I mostly did IRL stuff today

Spoiler: IRL

Health

• Did 30 minutes yoga / stretches + home workout
• Went climbing today for 5+ hours
  • Belayed friends for the first time, still getting the hang of it
  • Did 8 routes (ranging 5c to 6a+)
• Almost at 110kg

Mostly healthy day, exercising a ton and sweating more than a sweaty ML player.

 

lmao tonight we went full pepega degen at ulu2, farming mesos and the exp possible.
Didn't really have the mood to farm cards tonight because I was tired from climbing all day, mostly chill chatting in-game.

Finally got to above HP 5k+, I'll have to think about the future goals of the char, in terms of washing and INT.
I'm thinking that, after LVL 120 I'll most likely grind maps 24/7 to rack up mesos.

Problem will be washing away all that base INT... 380k NX
