Rental shop question: if I post that I want something for one day (or five days or whatever) instead of the full seven days, is the cost the same? It sounds like it's same no matter what, assuming no late fees, but I feel like I'm missing something since you could always just return things early. I pm'd ericeric91 but I think something got lost in translation and I didn't want to be rude and ask again.
The other question I had was answered: the rental shop will pay five times what the bazaar would pay the player when selling to the bazaar, not five times the cost to buy something from the bazaar. I figured, since the latter would be crazy, but decided to ask since I was already pm-ing with the first question.
I think you just pay per rental, not per day.

Questions about why SIRIUS's upgrade speed is so fast
SIRIUSs's time zone is UTC+8.
Level 493 time: around October 7, 2025 0:00 UTC+8 ¹ ²
Level 494 time: around October 10, 2025 7:00 UTC+8 ³ ⁴
Cost 3 natural days + 8 hours.
Level 493 to 494 need 312,201,314,039 exp ⁵, about 312b exp.
According to the Experience Points formula ⁷:
SIRIUSs has one Gold Star with all Cookies, not on any Toplist, of course posting_bonus, and there must have all hath_perk_bonus + training_bonus.
In this case:
Clear all Arena give ~10b exp
Clear 1 GrindFest give ~9b exp
and Dawn of a New Day give 5% ~15.6b exp ⁶.
How many GFs he cleared everyday?
(312 - 3*(15.6+10))/9/3.33=7.84
OK, let's be lenient and not count 8 hours as 0.33 days
(312 - 3*(15.6+10))/9/4=6.53
It was ultimately concluded that he needs to complete about 7 GFs in addition to finishing all the ARs each day to achieve this upgrade speed.

As for why I follow him, I think his avatar plays a big role. When looking at posts, the yellow hair and the shaking make it hard for me not to notice him.
The dude just plays crazy amounts of rounds. ...I remember the days when I played multiple gridfests per day... now I can barely do a couple of arena's per day
