Noah looked at the screen in surprise. 'I wonder what people will have to pay for this. How much does this raise the level cap? What will I get for completing a D rank portal?'
Snapping out of his thoughts, Noah looked back at where the King Beast died. One of the swordsmen that were in the party was holding a shield she found where the
beast died.
"How should we divvy this up? I know we are following contribution rules, but you aren't exactly someone who needs a shield. So, I would like to suggest myself getting the shield and not getting any of the money from selling the monster parts," The tank leader looked at Noah and Sam to see what they thought of that.
Something that plagues most parties that are low tiered and unaffiliated is the rare chance a weapon appears. Now it's not really a problem in C rank and above as they are more organized. Truthfully the government and medium to large sized guilds mostly consider people who fight in C rank and above portals as actual hunters and the other as regular civilians with weak powers.
Since the whole group didn't exactly know each other, having a weapon appear could possibly cause tension that may result in bloodshed. Now the group has been pretty harmonious so far, so the appearance of the shield didn't change much as the tank got the shield.
'Oh, actually I should be the one to get the shield since I can just replicate it. It's because I'm the person you may have or haven't heard of that sells weapons and things that can affect your stats. YEAH NO, that shield is definitely not worth revealing something like that.'
Since the portal was finished, they headed out with their loot, and as promised the tank wasn't added to the splitting of the loot.
"Alright see you guys." Noah says before immediately heading home.
At a bar somewhere in a city in proximity to the one that Noah lives in. Two guys were sitting together, five feet apart, talking to each other.
"I really think we should concentrate our members into a group, and we challenge C ranked portals. With the possibility for C ranked weapons to drop, we can massively boost our power with every new weapon that drops."
"Are you even thinking about the massive increase in strength for C ranked monsters. Maybe if Liam's ability was stronger than what it is now then we may have a chance, but as it is now, our chance of losing valuable people is too high to try the dungeon."
"Well, we can try to see if a certain piece of information is true," Another person with brown hair and black eyes said while sitting down.
"You're late again Liam," one of the guys rolled his eyes before moving past it as this was a daily occurrence, "anyway, what information?"
"Well apparently between G and F ranked hunters and porters, there has been a little thing going around that sometimes a golden portal will appear inside a zone and if they go through it, they will enter a shop. Inside they can buy beast gear and what makes this shop so exciting is the fact that people can buy things that increase the rank of a person and the stat cap of a person."
"That can't possibly be true, this is just another rumor like the one where forcing past the barrier of a zone can cause the world energy to give you a second awakening."
"Well, if you look here," Liam tossed a tablet with a picture of the cities surrounding the one they are in. Soon he began putting red circles in certain cities, with some circles being bigger than others.
Very quickly a pattern started to emerge, the biggest type of circle was on one city with the surrounding cities circles getting smaller and smaller.
"These are where those rumors came from with the closer you get to this city the more that is heard. I believe it is worth a shot as we can improve our weaker members."
"Well let's send our members out to check the information by sending them into as much of the portals there as possible."
The ball started rolling to one of the scariest events the people in Coslo city will see since the B class outbreak.
