Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 655 - 577: Guild Residence

Inside Adoma's house, Kane and the others looked at the chubby middle-aged man in front of them.

Although he was somewhat chubby, his clothes were neat, and he exuded a superior air. He also appeared very friendly, possessing a good level of approachability in terms of appearance.

This chubby middle-aged man stepped forward and shook hands with Kane.

"Hello, Captain Kane. I'm the President of the Big Crocodile Commerce Association. My name is Koro Crocodile. If you don't mind, you can also call me Crocodile."

"Hello, President Koro Crocodile."

At this moment, Adoma said, "He heard that I was looking for a piece of land for the Warband's base, so he came over, saying he wanted to talk to you in person."

The so-called Warband is a guild of the golden level.

Guilds have a limit on the number of members, so it can't be openly called a guild on official occasions, but it doesn't matter internally.

Internally, you can even call your force a country without any issues.

So if Kane and the others reach the golden level, and an official force is established, the name recorded in the council would be the Lantern Warband, not a guild.

Upon hearing this, Kane nodded and then looked at Koro Crocodile, saying, "Please, go ahead and speak."

Koro Crocodile nodded and sat on the sofa opposite, saying, "It's like this, President Kane, if you need a piece of land to build a guild base, I can provide and give it to you for free."

"So what's the catch?" Kane asked indifferently.

Hearing Kane's words, Koro Crocodile hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "No, it's not about the cost at all. I just hope my son can join your warband."

Upon hearing Koro Crocodile's words, not only Kane, but everyone present was very puzzled.

Because they already knew about the Big Crocodile Commerce Association when they were in Lion City.

Although it cannot be called a massive inter-world commerce association, it ranks as one of the top in this region of Border City, controlling the majority of real estate in the area.

And under its name, there are many well-known construction companies.

Moreover, it has a very good reputation, whether it's the acquisition of land or the buildings constructed, all have an excellent reputation.

It's a large commerce association with both financial and reputational clout.

It's not that Kane looks down on his guild, but now their guild hasn't even formally been established as a warband.

Not to mention its reputation, the name hasn't even been submitted to the Mist Council yet; it's not officially established.

The only possibility is their reputation as a small team.

But then a problem arises, there are countless guild founders more famous than their team.

Why must he entrust his child to their warband when there are so many options?

It's almost implausible.

So Kane asked in confusion, "Why? Why choose our warband when we are only just established and not yet formally constituted?"

"Is it prophecy?" Koro Crocodile said directly, with no intention of hiding or finding an excuse.

"Prophecy?" everyone puzzled.

Koro Crocodile nodded, "Yes, once, I spent a great deal to find a passing golden-level Explorer to make a prophecy for me. The question was how my child could become a top-tier Explorer.

That was five years ago when my son was just born, and it was detected he had impressive potential.

The conclusion of the prophecy was a generous act, a wise act."

"And now you fit that description most perfectly, wanting to establish a power, all founding members are geniuses, real geniuses. My mother told me about you visiting about two years ago, just after becoming Explorers, and now you are able to establish a warband."

"In my life, I have never heard of a case like this; it fits so well. Even if it's wrong, investing in you talents wouldn't be a problem. Even without asking anything in return, giving it to you outright wouldn't feel like a loss."

Koro Crocodile straightforwardly laid out his concerns and thoughts. Although it may not necessarily be true, it actually makes a lot of sense upon careful consideration.

"Truth." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Lilulu's voice quietly whispered into Kane's ear.

Kane stood up and walked over; Koro Crocodile also immediately stood up, and the two shook hands firmly.

"Pleasure working with you!"

"Pleasure working with you!" Koro Crocodile beamed with joy.

At this moment, Kreya curiously asked, "Your son is only about five years old, right?"

Koro Crocodile nodded with a smile, "Yes."

Alright, he's really worried about his child.

"Then everyone, follow me. Lion City isn't that large; the land isn't far away."

It seems he is also a decisive person.

With that, Koro Crocodile led the group out of the house and toward the outskirts.

After all, the land required by Kane is large, and there certainly isn't such a large plot in the town center.

However, he didn't lead everyone to the city's edge but to a more centrally located place, which was just right.

Looking at the vast empty land in front of them.

"So, Captain Kane, this plot is not bad, right? Are you satisfied?"

Looking around, Kane nodded in satisfaction, the location and area were already quite good and far exceeded his expectations: "No problem, very satisfied."

Seeing Kane's satisfaction, Koro Crocodile directly took out a land deed and a contract from his space equipment and handed them to Kane.

The contract from their company was already signed and stamped, requiring only Kane's signature to take effect.

"Then he's yours now."

Koro Crocodile's attitude and straightforwardness made Kane very satisfied.

He took over and said directly, "Tomorrow you can bring your son to the Guild. Before he becomes an adult, the members of the Guild will train him to a certain extent. Once he becomes an Explorer, he can officially join the Guild as a member."

Saying that, Kane raised both hands, and Magic Power surged crazily from his hands.

Koro Crocodile, who was about to say something, immediately shut his mouth and stepped back a few paces, watching Kane's actions.

With the influx of Magic Power, one large mechanical drill after another appeared, then activated, spinning rapidly downward.

After a short time, a large deep pit foundation was excavated from the entire plot of land.

Then, at the center, the outline of a building appeared, extending and constructing upward.

As the construction expanded, Kane walked into the foundation, followed closely by Kreya and the others.

It was Adoma's first time seeing such a scene. Following behind Kane, he looked around in amazement, full of wonder at this sight.

Koro Crocodile also followed. He had never seen such a scene either, so of course, he was curious.

Then, in the center of the foundation, several pillars extended upward, and a large lantern-like double-layer building was constructed on top of the laid foundation.

However, the plot is indeed quite large, with still quite a bit of empty space around.

Kane turned to look at Kreya and the others. "Any requirements?"

However, after looking around the size of the space, Kreya and the others realized that although there was still considerable area, it couldn't accommodate too many ideas.

"How about building a large encircling-style hotel on the side? Our Guild will need this many rooms."

Hearing Kreya's suggestion, Kane thought for a while, realizing it was indeed the case, and finally, everyone left the underground foundation.

Kane began walking along the edge of the foundation, constructing each building one by one, and then solidifying them completely with a large amount of Magic Power.

It didn't take long before a giant lantern building was completely formed, with a semicircular 9-floor encircling structure at the edge.

This tavern's encircling structure would be divided into rooms of sizes suitable for various Races, to be used as temporary accommodations when joining the Guild.

Finally, all the soil that had been dug up and accumulated around was pushed back into the pit and then the entire building was reinforced.

The total time spent was less than half an hour, and a giant Guild headquarters building was fully formed.

The internal spaces were all completely divided, though it lacked any furniture or decorations.

Seeing Kane finish his work, Koro Crocodile, who had been watching the whole process from the side, said with some admiration.

"No wonder it can be ready by tomorrow. If President Kane is willing to join our commerce association, I would definitely offer the highest price, hahaha."

Although Koro Crocodile was joking, he was extremely excited in his heart. He knew he had bet correctly.

Whether it was Kane's displayed strength or what he said earlier, they all showed a sense of confidence.

As a President of a large commerce association, Koro Crocodile believed in his ability to judge people, he trusted what he saw.

Kane was indeed very confident, and when he stated that fable, Kane didn't even argue or show humility but directly acknowledged the prediction, saying it was about him.

"Then I'll take my leave now, President Kane."

Kane nodded.

Around them were many Explorers and residents, all curious about this building constructed in just half an hour.

Many members of the media were also around, having arrived long ago awaiting this moment. They received the message very quickly and waited nearby.

Such abilities were not to be provoked, so they didn't dare take photos recklessly.

Seeing that Kane and the others seemed to have finished talking, a reporter from a subordinate newspaper of the Mist Council mustered the courage to approach.

"Excuse me, are you Captain Kane?"

Kane turned his head and saw a reporter and then looked at the large crowd of curious people around.

He only then remembered that this place was not a Dungeon. Was it really okay to build such a large building so quickly here?

Moreover, he seemed to have not reported anything.

Thinking of this, he quickly turned his head to look at Adoma nearby.

"Don't worry, President, there's no violation." Adoma seemed to know what Kane was going to ask and said directly.

Only then did Kane feel relieved. "That's good."

He then said to the reporter beside him, "Go ahead."

"May I interview you?"

Considering the imminent establishment of the Battle Group, and thinking it required some publicity, he nodded.

The reporter immediately excitedly approached and began asking, "Captain Kane, what is the purpose of constructing such a large building so quickly?"

"My teammates and I have become gold-level Explorers, and we are preparing to create a Battle Group, which is why this Guild headquarters was built."

"Gold?!"

The reporter asked in surprise. He knew Kane's name and appearance, and naturally also knew of Kane's achievements.

"Of course."

This was followed by Kane's self-admiration and promotion of the Guild.

After sending off these reporters, the onlookers had also seen enough, and the crowd quickly dispersed.

"Now let's start with the interior decoration, you give the requirements, and I'll handle it."

Saying that, Kane led everyone into the building.
