Chapter 116 Dungeon Breaking News

"when?" i said.nôv(el)b\\jnn

"he's leaving it up to you. at your earliest convenience or some such nonsense," maven said. experience tales at empire

"that's good. i have a lot of plans in the works and that will have to wait," i said.

we all got on the freight elevator and went back up into the dragon sect warehouse. i was greeted by the sight of all the many crates of gold held in the warehouse.

i turned to maven and said, "what would you say if i took all the gold?"

"i'd say good for you. i'm done with the dragon sect. they left me to die so i have no loyalty to them anymore," maven said.

"that's exactly what i wanted to hear," i said.

i told midas to swallow all the crates and he did. it took him a few minutes but he was surprisingly quick about it. to the security cameras it probably just looked like the crates were disappearing.

a security guard ran out into the center of the warehouse and said, "what happened to all the crates?"

"i don't know. they just kind of disappeared," i said.

we left the dragon sect warehouse. we didn't really have a headquarters anymore, so i wasn't sure where to go other than back to the bella luna cucina. but i didn't want to burden marco any further than we already had.

ultimately, i decided to burden a new group of people, the channel four news. the location of their studio was publicly available online, so i looked them up and we went over there.

normally i wouldn't explain the monster sects to keep them hidden and safe from humans, but because a lot of the portals were directly within monster territories, humans would encounter the monster sects anyways.

i would much rather have the humans know that these monsters are friendly and won't attack them as long as they explain their purpose there. that said, we would need to send a similar message to the monster sects warning them of the humans sent to help lock the portals.

i told maven to send a message to florick to spread this news amongst all the monster sects that had control over portals, as well as the ones that didn't, just in case.

i explained that i would arm potential dungeoneers with all the tools they would need to tackle these portal dungeons except basic weapons. they would need to bring their own weapons.

i made sure to cover how to modify the difficulty settings of the dungeons for dungeoneers in case they wanted to start easy and work their way up or just stay easy.

at the end of the explanation, sarah looked exhausted, but she kept a cheery smile on her face and a cheery attitude. she told me she would write up a report of everything i told her and send it to the producers as fast as possible so they could start working it into the news broadcast.

now, it was my job to make dungeoneer tools that people would need. these consisted of the dungeon key, the portal compass, and the dungeon glasses.

normally, i wouldn't have considered stealing all the gold in the dragon sect warehouse, but maven had informed me beforehand that there were dozens of similar warehouses that held the dragons' hoard.

dragons were the largest owners of gold and diamonds in the world. so while stealing one warehouse of gold would massively increase my coffers—by $5,500,000,000 to be exact—it would barely make a dent in the overall wealth of the dragon sect.

the dragon sect had finances in the trillions of dollars. $5,500,000,000 stolen would royally piss them off, but it wouldn't cause them any lasting harm.

another consideration for stealing the gold was the way that the replicator of equivalent exchange functioned. i needed to exchange equivalently valued items in order to replicate the dungeoneer tools and i could only imagine those tools would be expensive to replicate.

that was why i needed an additional 5.5 billion dollars on top of what i already had available to me. so i began replicating the tools while sarah worked on her report on a laptop, 10 feet from me.
