Chapter 69 Harvesting The Reward Part 1

Chapter 69: Harvesting the Reward part 1

After thirty minutes, Echo, Joshua, and James returned along with a group of people.

Looking at the group, some of them were injured. It's very clear that they tried to fight Echo, Joshua, and James, thinking that they can defeat them.

It was exactly like what Victor had expected, Frank's other men went for a desperate move.

"We caught them trying to steal this," Echo handed a gauntlet to Victor.

As soon as he received the gauntlet, Victor immediately understood the reason why Frank and his men tried to steal it.

"Molten Ice Gloves," Natas said as soon as he arrived beside Kayn. "It has passive skills which allow its user to have both fire resistance and cold resistance. In addition to that, it increases fire element and ice element attacks by two hundred percent. Meaning, any attack that uses those two elements brings an effect that is multiplied by three,"

"It also possesses three active skills — Ice Punch, Molten Punch, and Molten Ice Punch, thus allowing one to execute a combo attack,"

"No wonder," Kayn finally understood why Frank wanted the Molten Ice Glove for himself. Just having the passive skill or the active skill alone is already more than enough to make a lot of people desire the item.

Resistance to a specific element is a very important necessity to have, not only in clearing a dungeon but also inside the 'Tower'. That's because there are countless of dangers everywhere, thus having an item that can, at the very least, lessen to some degree that danger could come in very handy. Not to mention, the Molten Ice Glove grants the resistance of two specific elements — ice element and fire element.

Moreover, it also enhances the damage of both ice elements and fire elements by a whopping two hundred percent. That might not be much for weaker Heroes, but for stronger Heroes, that's a huge boost in power.

On the other hand, the three active skills are also something that a lot of melee combatants would desire to have for themselves. The name might not sound domineering or powerful at all, but that's only because one shouldn't look at them individually. Instead, they should focus more on what the three active skills could bring once they are combined together to create a combo attack. In addition to that, the passive skills also further complement the power of the three active skills.

Kayn can't help desiring the Molten Ice Gloves for himself after understanding its potential. However, he is aware of the fact that it is impossible for him to do that.

Although Victor gave him the right to choose two items first, he is not so stupid as to believe that he can just get anything that he wants. If the item on the table is something like the Molten Ice Gloves, there's no way that Victor or the majority of the members of the Black Panda team would just give it to him. And if he insists, there's a good chance that they'll let the executives or higher-ups of the Ying Yang Dynasty Guild decide on what items to give to him. By then, he'll lose the chance to get a good item for himself.

"It's much better to stick with choosing something that I truly need," Anyways, the Molten Ice Gloves might be great, but it isn't something that's necessary for him to possess. If it was a sword though, that would be a different story.

"I wonder what those gloves are?" Rys can't help asking.

"No idea," Kayn pretended not to know. He stood up as it is time for them to start gathering all the loot that they have gotten.

Quite timely, the Porters arrived.

"Why won't you believe me that Captain Victor told me to bring your men out of the dungeon?"

"That's because our Head Porter is still inside!"

"But it's the Captain's order,"

"I couldn't care less even if it was the Guild Master's order… Oh, wait! Kayn! There you are!"

Marlon quickly approaches.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am fine," Kayn was surprised at Marlon's arrival.

It was surprising since he had clearly ordered them to leave the dungeon. But on second thought, it's actually good that they are here, as it would save him a lot of time.

He wants to leave the dungeon now that he already finished with his original goal.

In conclusion, he should be fine if he enters 'The Bridge' as long as he made enough preparation before entering. He is already fine dealing with the Undead race which inhabits the 21st floor until the 30th floor of the 'Tower', let alone the dangers that will appear in 'The Bridge'.

Although he hasn't experienced the dangers inside 'The Bridge' for himself, he knew a lot of information about it since someone has already cleared it in the future.

"I was really worried about you,"

"There's no need. I am fully capable of taking care of myself," He could immediately understand why. If it was someone else who presents a revolutionary idea to Marlon a while ago, the latter would no doubt say the same thing to that person.

"Still…"

"Everything is already taken care of, Marlon," Diana interrupted as he notices the look on Kayn's face. It's quite evident that he felt weirded out by Marlon's action.

"Okay…" Although he wants to keep on trying to get into Kayn's good side and build a connection with him. But since Diana told him to stop, Marlon could only comply.

"Anyways, since you're here, tell all the Porters to bring everything they found over there," Diana pointed at a corner that remained unaffected by the boss raid.

"Understood," Marlon quickly left.

"Sorry about that," Diana apologizes to Kayn.

"It's alright," Kayn waved his hand. It couldn't be helped anyways as he brought such treatment to himself.

Since it is time to divide the loot, Kayn naturally started walking to where Diana wanted all of the loot to be gathered.

"What are you thinking of choosing?" Natas asked along the way.

"Probably something that can help me when I am in 'The Bridge'," Kayn replied in a low voice.

Members of the Black Panda team started to gather together.

After everything was done, Victor stepped on a podium.

"Everyone!" Victor called out to get everyone's attention. "As far as I am seeing right now, we have gotten quite a considerable amount of loot for our team,"

"As a matter of fact, it's a lot more than what I initially expected before we bought this dungeon,"

"However, before we proceed to divide the loot amongst ourselves, I want to honor my promise first to certain individuals. So, I'll be leaving you all here for the moment while I go talk to them," Victor looked at the main members of the Black Panda team, "Alex, Rys, Joshua, James, Diana, Alice, Echo, and Kayn, follow me,"

Kayn already understood what Victor intended to do, so he followed the latter along with Rys, Diana, and Alice.

It's quite evident that the rest were mere distractions so that no one would think that it was Kayn who thought of the plan they executed to deal with the Ice Dread Queen. After all, there's no doubt that Frank will cause trouble to whoever that person is as he had ruined his plan.

Victor doesn't want that to happen, and so does Kayn.

They soon arrived in a tent that was just set up as the majority of the tents were destroyed during the boss raid.

"Kayn," Victor immediately called out the moment Kayn stepped inside the tent. "Your plan worked really well, and for that, I'll give you the right to pick two items first,"

"About that…" Kayn still hasn't seen all items, so it's obviously difficult for him to choose.

"Marlon compiled a list of materials, resources, and items they have found along the way," Victor handed Kayn a stack of paper. "And this is the list Diana has compiled after looking at the items that dropped from the Ice Dread Queen," He handed another stack of paper.

"You can go look over there, and if you fancy any item, just tell us,"

"What if I didn't fancy any resources, so I decided to pick the materials or resources instead?"

"I guess one item is going to be equivalent to one ton of materials or resources since there's plenty to spare anyways," Victor chuckled. According to the list, there are five to six tons of each of the materials and resources. So, giving away one or two tons won't hurt their team's interest.

"Fair enough," If he thinks about it, two tons of materials or resources is more than enough to get him a full set of equipment. So, he's not in any way at a disadvantage in that deal.

"Let's see," Kayn started looking at the list of drops from the Ice Dread Queen first. After all, that's where the real deal is. Anyways, it won't be too late to look at the other list if ever he doesn't find anything that he likes.

"By the way, is the Molten Ice Gloves part of the list?" Kayn wanted to try his luck.

"Unfortunately, it's not," Victor could only awkwardly smile at Kayn. He felt slightly embarrassed because he is clearly preventing the latter from getting it. It also reveals to Kayn that he can't get all the items that he wanted. To tell the truth, he already removed some really good items from the list, and those items that remain were the ones that they are willing to give away.

Unbeknownst to Victor, Kayn already knew that as he noticed that some items he had seen along the way weren't listed on the list that the former had handed him.
