The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 31: Porter

"Since you brought that up, do you perhaps have any jobs you can offer that can earn me quick credits?" Kayn didn\'t hesitate to ask Angela.

Credit is the currency used by the entire Earth after the arrival of the \'Tower\'. It was first introduced by Genesis, one of the World Leaders of Earth.

Since Genesis is the leading merchant organization on Earth, it was very easy and simple for them to push forward the use of Credit to the entire world. One of the methods is that they don\'t accept any other form of currency whenever someone wanted to buy their products except for Credit.

In a matter of months, the dollar, yuan, yen, pesos, or any form of currency used by countries around the globe started losing their value. Moreover, the Kraken Republic, Pandora, and Mercenary Nation started adopting this form of currency the moment it was first introduced, further adding value and assurance to those people who are cautious and doubtful of holding Credit.

As one could see, Genesis was successful in their mission of having only a single currency for the entire world. And as the days goes by, the currency Credit just became stronger and stronger and then, later on, became the most secure currency on Earth.

Angela was immediately taken aback after hearing Kayn\'s line, causing her mouth to be wide agape.

"Hey, a fly might accidentally fly inside your mouth if you left it opened like that," Kayn kindly reminded Angela.

Brushing her hair off as a means to pull herself together, Angela then quickly called out to their other classmates who were busy fooling around with each other. "Hey everyone, I feel like we have an impostor here,"

"What do you mean?" Albert, another classmate of Kayn, felt confused as he approached Angela.

Albert was the student who thought that Kayn has someone acting as a spy amongst his classmates and was the unfortunate student who fell for the teacher\'s trap.

"Please don\'t get too close to me. The paint around your body is still wet, it might get on my uniform," Angela immediately warned Albert as the latter approached closely. The trap that their teacher secretly set this time was a paint trap. And because of that, Albert\'s uniform is drenched in paint.

"I know, I know, Stein," Albert felt a bit bitter as he walked to a corner where he won\'t accidentally get paint on his classmates.

"Why don\'t you just go to the comfort room and try to wash the paint off?" Another classmate who\'s named Stein suggested to Albert.

"Do you seriously think I haven\'t thought of that?! Why else would the paint still be this wet?" Albert scoffed at Stein. After falling for the teacher\'s trap, he immediately thought of going to the comfort room to wash the paint off his uniform. Their uniform is special in a way that it has a built-in function that allows it to clean anything considered dirty on itself as long as they add some water to it. However, he was rendered shocked when he discovered that the paint that covered his uniform was coincidentally special as well. When water is added to the paint, the paint immediately absorbed the water and used it to multiply itself. That is why the paint is still wet since until now it is continuously multiplying.

"Break it off, you two," Rys, the acting leader of their classroom, immediately butted it so that Albert and Stein won\'t accidentally get into a fight. He then turned to look at Angela and asked, "Who\'s the impostor?"

The other classmates had already gathered together when Rys\' asked that question.

"Kayn," Angela immediately pointed at Kayn.

"In what way?"

"You know that whenever we try to propose a money-making venture to Kayn he always rejects it, right? Well, this time he actually asked for it himself," Angela explained.

"EHHHHH?!"

Immediately, the entire classroom was shocked.

"Hey! What did you do to the real Kayn!" Albert no longer minded the paint on his uniform as he stood close in front of Kayn.

"Admit it! You are our teacher who\'s trying to impersonate Kayn, right?!" Stein can\'t help but assumed.

"Idiot! You should be respectful if that was the case," Angela felt like she was surrounded by idiots because of how Stein acted.

"You\'re right! I mean, teacher, please stop acting!"

"Screw off, will you?!" Kayn finally had enough as he pushed Albert and Stein away from him. "Tsk! Now I got paint on my hand,"

"Don\'t blame me. I already warned you,"

"Anyways, do you have any or not?" Kayn was tired from all this useless bantering. Thus, he wants a clear answer as soon as possible.

"Just how far are you in poverty?!" Rys said in a joking manner.

"Really far! So, can you give me any?"

"Wait," Rys quickly motioned his hand to gather everyone together to form a circle.

"Are you sure that\'s really Kayn and not our teacher disguised as Kayn?"

"Yes, I am sure,"

"How?"

"Just the way he acts is already annoying and pretentious enough,"

"He is already asking for our help, yet he is still shamelessly acting like he is doing us a favor instead. Only Kayn would act like that,"

"Yeah, he cares for his image way too much,"

"Indeed, you\'re correct!"

"You know that I can still hear all of you, right?"

"Don\'t worry, we are doing it on purpose,"

"Fuck off!"

"Anyways, back to the matter at hand. So, does any of you have any help you can offer to Kayn?"

"I have one!"

"Okay, tell us,"

"Why don\'t we let him clean the toilets in our houses? In such a way, we can get back at him and also have clean toilets,"

"Good idea,"

"Screw you!"

"I guess he doesn\'t like it. Then why don\'t we let him walk all our dogs in the park?"

"Eh, you\'re basically doing him a favor by letting him do that,"

"Of course, not! You think just anyone could walk our dogs?"

"Oh, so you want our dogs to bite him!"

"Yes!"

"Fair enough,"

"You guys are seriously asking for it!"

"Oh no!"

"Shit!"

"Please have mercy!"

Bang! Booom! Bang!

After a few scuffling, Kayn finally made all his classmates kneel on the floor.

"All I was asking was if you have any jobs that you can make me do so that I can earn some Credits. I wasn\'t asking for much, so why were you guys talking all those craps and bullshits?!"

"It was just a joke," Albert tearfully muttered.

"Yeah, we were just having fun with your poverty. Nothing is wrong with that, right?" Stein blurted out but was immediately kicked in the face by Kayn.

"Jokes aside," Rys stood up while dusting off the dirt on his jeans.

"Who told you to get up?!" Kayn exclaimed, causing Rys to hastily kneel on the ground once again.

"As I was saying," Rys could only helplessly and silently accept his fate. Although he is the acting leader of their classroom, he knows for a fact that Kayn is the actual leader here. He was simply being put into place because Kayn doesn\'t want to be at the receiving end of the teachers or whoever is in charge whenever something bad happens. In other words, he is cannon fodder, albeit a responsible one… or the perfect one…

"Three days from now, a team from my father\'s guild \'Yin Yang Dynasty\' which is made up of a bunch of newbie Heroes are hoping to get their first clear on an F-class Dungeon that opened up on the northeast outskirt of Moon Dragon City. I was offered a position as one of their members so that I can get some practical experience in raiding Dungeons. Of course, my father is also hoping that the \'Tower\' would take notice of me and official grant me entry to its floors,"

"So, what about it?"

"This team is looking for trusted porters that will stay in the rear to collect the items dropped from the monsters they have slain. There are already four people that have signed up out of the five porters they need. To tell the truth, I was planning on proposing this to you today, so I have specially reserved the fifth spot. Are you in, or are you out?"

Porter is a term commonly used by every team both from the inside or outside of the \'Tower\' to label the individuals who are assigned the miscellaneous job.

The reason why Porters exist is that the majority of the Heroes just don\'t have the leisure to stay and collect every single material that is dropped from the monsters they have killed unless the item is extremely valuable. Time is money, is what these Heroes would always say.

Moreover, there are times when the Heroes who want to clear a Dungeon would bring along two or more sets of gear to prepare for a special situation they have researched beforehand. There are also moments when they are required to bring a lot of food, potions, and other consumables for various different circumstances. Obviously, these Heroes aren\'t expected to be the ones to personally carry those said items. Otherwise, their performance in the raid would be greatly affected in a negative manner. It is during these moments that Porters are used.

"You know how cautious I am, and you also know that I trust you a lot,"

Rys immediately understood what Kayn wanted to say so he assures him, "Don\'t worry, I have personally checked their records, and so far, they are exceptional individuals, including the four Porters as well. No one has any criminal records or any unknown variables that might put the team in any danger. Don\'t underestimate my father\'s Guild, he is meticulous when it comes to that kind of matter in fear that it might affect the image of our Yin Yang Dynasty,"

"What do I have to bring?"

"Just yourself, since we will be providing all the equipment the Porters would need,"

"Is the environment in the Dungeon special?" Kayn immediately noticed the underlying meaning behind Rys\' line. In most cases, the Porters would have to bring their own equipment. Also, Porters prefer it that way since it\'s much better if they are familiar with what they are using. Only when the environment of a Dungeon is special that the Guild would be the one to personally provide the equipment for their Porters.

"I am afraid to say, but yes,"

"Okay, I\'ll accept,"

The more dangerous it is, the more profit there would be. Also, only when there is danger where he could get opportunities that can bring him a lot of benefits.

"Okay, I\'ll tell the leader of the team about it. No backing out, alright?"

"When did you ever see me backing out?"

"That\'s what I like about you! Don\'t worry, I\'ll make sure to keep you safe during the entire raid," Rys guaranteed.

"I\'ll be keeping myself safe," Kayn thought to himself. After what he had gone through in the future, although there was no history of Rys\' betraying him during this time, or was there even one in the future, he still prefers to stay on guard.
