"What's that supposed to mean?" Kane raised an eyebrow.

"It means that if we partake in ordinary measures in the dungeon, and accomplish ordinary results, there won't be any problem in going the ordinary route," Rui explained. "But have you forgotten our objective?"

"Clearing the dungeon, right?"

"Right, we want to explore the dungeon and plunder it before everyone else," Rui nodded. "The other objective is to earn enough money to fund all expenses, some of which are going to be a bit extravagant. However, while we have made sure to equip ourselves to outdo our competition in the dungeon, that doesn't necessarily mean the same is true for all matters outside the dungeon."

Kane's eyes narrowed a bit, as he realized what he was walking about. "You mean Shionel Merchant Guild, and the market for the resources of the Shionel Dungeon?"

"Right," Rui nodded. "Let's say we do succeed in achieving our first goal, we make greater progress than our competition and end up plundering all of the esoteric material resources from the dungeon for ourselves, and selling it ourselves, what do you think would happen?"

"Just because we plunder it, doesn't mean that's the end of the story if we choose to sell it in the local Shionel market that has recently spiked in size for the demand of the esoteric supplies of the Shionel Dungeon, then it can be traced back to us. After all, if we do choose to sell it, then at some point, we need to hand it over to a third party in a transaction, be that a customer from the consumer market, a retailer, or a large-scale supplier.
