BXBX NOVEL Chapter 70 Harvesting The Reward Part 2
Chapter 70: Harvesting the Reward part 2
It's not difficult for Kayn to recognize the items that were found in this dungeon raid as he had seen almost all of them in the future. Or probably even all items.
To tell the truth, items that are found inside the dungeons are actually ranked at the very bottom inside the 'Tower'.
All items are labeled into three different categories.
Firstly, there is the equipment, which includes weapons, armor, armaments, jewelry, and many other more. Practically everything that a person equips themselves with that enhances their fighting or defending capabilities.
Secondly, resources or most commonly known as consumables, are what players use as external aid, support, or buffs like potions, bandages, food, beverages, and more items that have a fixed number of uses.
Thirdly, materials, are raw matters that are used to make equipment and consumables like mana stones, ores, herbs, wood, metal, and many others that come in the form of solid, liquid, and gas.
All equipment, consumables, and materials are separated into six different ranks — common rank, uncommon rank, elite rank, rare rank, epic rank, and legendary rank.
Unbeknownst to everyone though, there are actually two hidden ranks, which are the glory rank and the mythic rank. These two ranks though are still not known to this date as they only start appearing when Heroes starts clearing the 500th floor of the 'Tower'.
Although, to tell the truth, they actually exist even on the 1st floor. It's just that certain individuals decided to keep them a secret from the masses. It was only when the Heroes cleared the 500th floor that the glory rank and mythic rank items were revealed as someone that wasn't part of the perpetrators found them.
The higher the rank, the more powerful an item is.
In the case of the equipment, consumables, and materials that are found inside the dungeon, they are only labeled as common rank and uncommon rank, and if one is lucky enough, they'd stumble upon an elite rank. Rare rank and above cannot be found inside the dungeon, but only inside the 'Tower'.
An example of an elite rank item would be the Molten Ice Gloves. That is why Victor kept it for the Black Panda team as he obviously deemed it necessary for the development and overall growth of the team.
For those uncommon ranks, half of them were kept on the list, while the other half were unlisted. Meaning, they are also helpful, but not all of them.
As much as Kayn wanted to know all the uncommon rank items that were found, he understood the fact that he is not the one who can decide what items to give away. Whatever is on the list are the only items he could choose from.

These five items were the only drops of the Ice Dread Queen that were listed on the stack of paper that Kayn was handed.
It's quite clear from this list that Victor has hidden a lot of items from him. This just makes him even more curious about what they are and at the same time slightly displeased with them.
"I guess it can't be helped," Kayn thought. His plan was just a small portion of the overall reason why the Black Panda team was able to kill the Ice Dread Queen. So, this is something to be expected.
At least, they listed the items that are necessary for him, except for the Crystal Helmet. He seriously doubts the reason why it's uncommon rank. Even a common-rank helmet has a much better effect than it.
"How ignorant," Natas suddenly interrupted Kayn from his thoughts.
As he can't respond to Natas, Kayn simply showed a look of interest to the former.
Seeing Kayn's look, Natas explained, "Can you ask them if you can get all four items?"
Kayn looks at the two swords and two daggers as if pointing them before looking at Natas again.
"Yes, those four items. You can ignore the other list as they aren't as useful as those four. It would even be better if you can hoard everything outside. In that way, no one else would be able to find out for the time being,"
He wonders why. "I'll try, I guess…"
"I feel slightly offended," Kayn shook his head in displeasure.
"Why?" Victor can't help panicking slightly.
"I saw more drops from the Ice Dread Queen along the way, yet I only see five in here? There were even a Crystal Chestplate, Crystal Boots, and the weapon piece of the Crystal Set Amor, the Crystal Bow. But how come I don't see them in this list you've given me?" Kayn stared solemnly with furrowed brows at Victor.
"I could already guess that the only reason you added the Crystal Helmet to the list is that there were two of them that dropped,"
"And these swords and daggers? Seriously?! I saw like ten to fifteen of each on a pile! And yet you're only presenting me with the option to choose two items?"
"Are you perhaps telling me that I can only get the extra equipment?"
"I understand if it was in the case of the jewelry, as they are worth a lot. Not to mention, the passive skills they give to whoever wears them. But why can't you show me more than five pieces of equipment? There were bows, hammers, axes, and many more in there!"
"The plan I presented to you a while ago prevented your team from spending a lot more money, resources, energy, and manpower. Moreover, I also saved you from the possibility of your competitors taking this dungeon away from the Ying Yang Dynasty Guild. If it wasn't for that, you won't even have a chance to see all of these. Furthermore, I gave commands on the backline so that it would be easier for Echo to land his attacks on the boss and also save him from a possibly dangerous situation back then," Kayn heaved a heavy sigh.
"I seriously hate to break the good impression we've built on each other, but I just can't help it. It's like you put that little value to the favor I gave you,"
"Ah…" Victor was rendered speechless. He was already embarrassed at the fact that he openly admitted his intention of coveting some items for the sake of the Black Panda team.
"How about you try to look at the list of materials and consumables?" Alex tried to remedy the situation.
"I can't because if I do that, I might dislike your Black Panda team even more. Fate knows just how many more items you have not listed on that stockpile,"
Alex could only lower his head out of guilt.
"If this is how much you value your words, then I guess it can't be helped…"
Hearing Kayn's words, Victor could only scratch his head as he felt even more embarrassed at his action. It's actually not wrong that he prioritizes the Black Panda team. After all, that is one of the reasons why he was assigned as the team's Captain. However, at the same time, he had made the claim that he would be giving Kayn the chance to pick two items first. It's already unfair that he had taken a considerable number from the list. Yet he also can't honor his words.
"Is there any way we can make it up to you?" Diana finally decided to step in after seeing Victor's helplessness. "I have also noticed this before, and was already against it,"
"Me too," Alice voiced out her concern. "But I am not in any position to say anything, so I decided to just remain silent. I apologize,"
"I don't know. And I also don't want to present any ideas anymore seeing that you people don't see its value," Kayn crossed his arms together and sat on a chair behind him as he decided to ignore everyone.
Kayn's action made everyone panic. If it was anyone else, they would have just insisted that they pick what's given as they are already lucky enough that they are presented with the opportunity to get the first pick in the first place. However, Kayn is different. This young man is the son-in-law of Mayor Sebastian. Even a fool would understand that they have already offended Kayn with their recklessness.
"How shameless," Natas smiled devilishly.
