The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 53: Kany's first step in achieving his goal

When all things were set, Victor and the rest of the Black Panda team gathered together in front of the dungeon gate.

The dungeon gate wasn't literally a gate. It was more like a portal that shines a bright blue light. The size of this portal in front of them is also as tall as a man, hence the reason why it can be hidden perfectly well in the storage room.

Although this is only possible because it is an E+ rank dungeon. If it was D rank and above, then the size of the portal would start increasing from one-story tall and so on. And once it reaches the S rank, the size of the gate would depend on how strong the monsters inside are. If they are extremely strong, then the size of the dungeon gate would be as tall as a twenty-story building. Not to forget, there are still the remaining SS rank and SSS rank dungeons. Just how huge those portals would be in that case.

"Are you all ready?"

Victor's voice broke the silence around the room.

"YESSSSSSSSSS!"

A loud response was instantly received.

"Then let's go in!" Victor entered the dungeon gate first to commence the beginning of the raid.

In the next moment, Diana, Alice, Alex, Echo, James, Joshua, and Rys quickly followed Victor to the portal. And following after them were Frank and the rest of the members of the reserve team.

However, before getting inside the portal, Frank looked at Kayn as if telling the latter that he'd be in trouble once they are inside the dungeon.

Seeing this, Kayn simply shook his head and muttered, "As if I am scared of you,"

"He should be the one feeling afraid of you once you are both inside the dungeon," Natas could only show a look of pity at Frank. Even though Frank is a Hero, he was nothing more than a rookie Hero just like those that Kayn encountered when he was trying to save Rowan Starlight. Considering that Kayn can even defeat a Flame Gorilla and in the process take out an Earth Worm monster, he best believes that Frank won't be that difficult to defeat.

"Just leave him alone," A male Porter that Kayn had gotten to know voiced out behind him.

The Porter's name is Marlon, he was the previous Head Porter that he temporarily replaced so that the Black Panda team can build up a connection with the son-in-law of Mayor Sebastian.

At first, Kayn thought that Marlon would hate him because he took his job. But after getting to know the guy, he realized that he is pretty chill about it. Clearly, the guy has already experienced this multiple times, implying that the Black Panda team uses the position of Head Porter as a way to make a good first impression with someone special.

Honestly, it isn't that bad of an idea. It makes the person who receives the title feel a sense that he is being treated special by the team, and his goal of experiencing a dungeon for the first time would also be fulfilled as he could cooperate with the team as long as he can manage the Porters correctly. Moreover, as he is the one responsible for whether the team would earn a lot or not, thus chances are he would treat it seriously. That's because according to some research, people that enter a dungeon for the first time focus more on how to earn more credits rather than how to kill the monsters inside. They would only start treating the monsters seriously once faced with a lot of difficulty in clearing a dungeon. In the case of experiencing a dungeon for the first time with the Black Panda team, that might not happen for them yet.

Regardless, that clearly won't work on him. His main goal in joining this raid from the start wasn't to earn credits or to experience a dungeon raid for the first it. Rather, it is to adapt to the current state of his body and get a clear understanding of how he should start developing his physique afterward.

"Frank has long been known to be a huge troublemaker in the Black Panda team. If it wasn't for the fact that his father is one of the executives of the Ying Yang Dynasty's White Panda team, then he would have been kicked out from this team a long time ago by Captain Victor," Marlon expressed that a lot of people doesn't like Frank.

"Oh, no wonder," Kayn finally understood why Rys decided to avoid Frank instead of confronting him despite the fact that he is the son of the owner of the Yin Yang Dynasty guild. That's because he can't casually offend the latter as it might affect his father's guild.

"By the way, Kayn, do you need any help in managing the Porters?" Marlon kindly offered.

"Don't worry, I got this," Kayn graciously rejected Marlon's kindness.

"Okay. But don't hesitate to call me if ever you need any help, okay?" Marlon insisted.

"Now that you mention it, do you happen to have any cloth that I can use?"

"Well, we do," Marlon turned to look at his trusted men and ordered them to bring all the cloth here.

It didn't take long for the men to return while carrying several rolls of cloth.

"This is perfect!" Kayn felt contented.

"If it's okay to ask, what do you plan to do with these?" Marlon can't help but wonder.

"I'll explain later. But first, help me cut these three colors into small pieces," Kayn pointed at the blue, green, and red rolls of cloth, "— Around two inches wide and twenty inches high,"

"You heard our Head Porter! Start getting to work people!" Marlon immediately started assisting Kayn.

As they still have some time before the Porters would start entering the dungeon gate, Kayn decided to prepare something that will be able to help him ease his job. In that way, he can head to the main team and if there's any chance, help them.

After ten minutes or so, the three rolls of cloth were finally finished being cut into pieces.

"I'll only say this once, so please listen closely to my instructions, okay?!" Kayn exclaimed loudly so that all Porters would be able to hear him. He went to grab one piece of the blue, green, and red cloth. "These three colors would represent three different orders. First, the blue cloth. If you spot the blue cloth, this means that the object has mana content, thus is the most valuable material. Second, the green cloth. Any item that has green cloth means that you have to decide which group should stay and be responsible for gathering as there is a considerable number to be gathered. Lastly, the red cloth. Just like what its color suggests, anything with the red cloth means that they are carcasses of the dead monsters,"

"Now, if you see two cloth pieces present, you simply have to combine the meaning of each of the cloth pieces. Blue cloth and green cloth mean that there are a lot of resources with mana content. Green cloth and red cloth imply that there are a lot of carcasses of dead monsters around. And red cloth and blue cloth signifies that there are a lot of carcasses of dead monsters with mana content,"

"What if all three cloth pieces are present? It means that you should run away or don't get close to it, because anything that is labeled with that should be taken by the main team long before we arrive. So, if there's any that we find along the way, that doesn't mean that we are lucky. Rather it means there's a trap, something bad is going on, or to simply put, bad stuff will happen if we get ourselves involved with it,"

"Do you all understand?!"

"Yes!!!"

"Good…" Just when Kayn was about to continue with his instructions, Marlon, who was beside him, expectedly raised his hand.

"About that cloth thingy, you are talking about. Is that something you have invented?" Marlon felt quite s

"Yeah," Kayn grinned.

"Take this," Without explaining any further, Marlon quickly handed Kayn a business card. Looking at the card, he sees that it was black-colored with nothing on it other than someone else's number. As to how he was able to tell that it was a personal number and not a company number, that's because he purposely did this knowing that this would happen. As to whose personal number this was, it was none other than Rys' father.

Any individual that is part of the main lineup would always have a personal connection with the owner of the guild. This was especially the case for the Yin Yang Dynasty. Both the main roosters of the White Panda team and Black Panda team are people that have the power to recruit people that they deemed to possess potential that is worth having in their guild.

He knew about this since he had made plenty of interactions with the Yin Yang Dynasty in the past. Although the guild didn't end up becoming one of his allies in the future, he still got to know a lot of things about the guild's internal structure. And what Marlon is doing right now is just one of them.

The reason why he is doing this is that he realized that he has to do something that would help him solve his problem related to the matter of having not enough credits. Otherwise, a lot of his plans and events that he might be required to participate in would be put on hold due to lacking sufficient funds.

Another reason is, his goal would obviously require a lot of credits to make it into a reality, and to support his plans in the long run for it to be of use in the future he'd have to invest a lot of credits in them. That's why he has to find ways that will allow him to earn credits. Fortunately for him, he has a lot of information about the future which he can use to earn some quick credits. And the set of instructions that he shared with Marlon and the rest of the Porters just now happens to be one of those things that will only appear in the future which he knew for certain made the creator of it earn a lot of credits.

This is his first step in achieving his goal — finding ways to earn as many credits as possible!
