3 min readApr 8, 2021

Real Deal Guild is social guild started in the Blockchain Game called Axie Infinity. We are and we have always been so grateful for all the help Axie Infinity has giving us.

RDG decides to showcase a scholar and their Axie Infinity Journey once a week to inspire people.

Our featured scholar for this week is Gian Santos. He started playing Axie Infinity last November 2020. He is our BB Troop #28. He knew AI because his cousin, who is also our scholar introduced him to this game. He was a Criminology Fresh Graduate Student who wasn’t able to finish taking his board exam due to the increased number of COVID-19 cases in the Philippines, most of the PRC Licensure Examinations in our country got cancelled. Since he wasn’t a board passer, yet he couldn’t find a job that suits him. He was unemployed ever since he graduated but he is very grateful to Axie Infinity for sustaining them financially.

“Yung first time ko mag play nito galing sa idea ng pinsan ko sya yung nag pasok sakin sa rdg. I started to play nov 6, 2020 first month medjo mahirap sya dahil di ko pa kabisado yung game and lagi ako talo sa arena. Tapos chinaga ko lang kasi alam ko tlaga na malaki potential don sa mga nakita ko na na mga proof so ayon nga. First withdraw ko nun di kalakihan dahil yung price ng slp nun is 60 centa that time. Una kumuha ako ng matino cp which is worth 13k, pra kako maganda maglaro and may axie naman sure makakabayad hahaha. So ayon nabayaran ko sya then after the first withdrawal tuloy tuloy na sya every month nkkpag withdraw ako ng 15k then ayon nakakabili nako ng mga branded na damit. Like regatta, guess orig na shoes vans, adidas, nike. Then nitong huli bumili ako aircon para kay ermats ginamit ko yung CC na pinsan ko. And nakakahulig ako motor na binabayaran ko sa kapatid ko every month. Tapos nitong huli yung franchise na milkitas na ice scramble, 35k bali join force kami ng pinsan ko pra sa business balak pa namin mag add ng small business tapos rider din ako sa umaga ako nag dedeliver ng mga order haha. Ang dami ko nabili tp at pag may kailangan pambayad kuryente go nakakapag share ako ngayun and kay mother if need ng pera pag bbili ng ganto ganyan salamat axie lalo na kay boss benn sa rdg at sympre yung humili sakin dito na pinsan ko. Thankyou tlaga” — Gian Santos
