The next morning, the first person to arrive at Kieran's place wasn't Lyn Amie, but Eckart.
After a hurried knock on the door, Kieran saw Eckart looking even more … sloppy than before.
That's right, sloppy.
His greasy hair had turned into a bird's nest, his chin was full of stubble, and his suit was wrinkled. The outfit that he tidied up when he was the temporary host didn't just return to its original look, it looked even shinier, just like the excitement in his eyes.
"We did it!"
Eckart said the moment he saw Kieran.
Kieran, of course, knew it was a success.
The 'reverse energy' that kept popping up in his vision was the most direct proof, it was far better than any collection and analysis methods.
"Em."
Kieran nodded calmly.
"You know?
You can even predict this? "
Eckart was stunned.
The director's gaze at Kieran grew more and more astonished.
Instinctively, the director wondered whether someone had informed Kieran beforehand, but he quickly shook his head.
Kieran was staying at the place he arranged for him.
In simple words, he knew Kieran's whereabouts like the back of his hand.
Before he arrived, the manager of the dormitory had told him about Kieran's return last night.
It wasn't that no one had been here before, but among those who had been, no one could have gotten more detailed information than him.
Besides that, Kieran didn't even have a phone, so it was impossible for someone to call him to inform him.
After tossing away all the guesses, the director was left with one more: Kieran's identity.
A shaman!
Before meeting Kieran, Eckart wouldn't have believed such an identity.
However, after meeting Kieran, he started to suspect whether there was another world that common people didn't know about.
Kieran didn't have the intention to explain, his eyes were looking at the paper bag in Eckart's hand.
In fact, if it wasn't for the size of the paper bag, he would have asked the man to leave a long time ago.
Kieran did not want to talk to someone who was tired but excited at the same time.
In Kieran's eyes, that kind of person was most likely a lunatic.
How hard is it to deal with a lunatic?
Kieran didn't know.
He wasn't willing to try.
Fortunately, Eckart's rationality far surpassed Kieran's imagination.
After seeing Kieran's gaze, he immediately handed the brown paper bag to Kieran.
"The information you wanted!"
"The uprising a thousand years ago — that's all we have for now. Your request is too hasty. However, I have already instructed my friends, and they will soon bring more information."
"Are you interested in that incident?"
Eckart asked curiously.
"Yes."
"Under the real sun, there must be a fake moon …"
"The moonlight is beautiful, isn't it?"
Kieran's words were like the language of a street diviner, making people feel baffled.
"What do you mean?"
"What sun and moon?"
Eckart was completely confused.
Kieran didn't answer. He pulled out the chair beside the dining table and opened the brown paper bag, wanting to read it carefully.
Although he didn't have much time to interact with Kieran, Eckart knew Kieran was a person who hated to be disturbed, whether it was when he was reading or thinking.
Therefore, he spoke first.
"We need to follow up our victory!"
"Originally, we planned to produce two episodes a week, and we've already completed our mission yesterday, but according to the audience's wishes, we should try our best to produce one or two more episodes this week."
"I'll try my best to pick the parts that fit the elements of the show, and then try my best to adjust the production team."
Eckart clenched his fist and stated his plan.
It wasn't just to brush Kieran off, it was because after the 'accident' of the floor supervisor last night, Eckart had decided to have some real 'employees'.
They must have the ability, but more importantly, they must be brave and loyal.
What if they didn't have the former?
It didn't matter, the latter was more important.
"This is your job scope. Let me know when you're ready."
Kieran said without even looking up.
Everything should be left to the experts in the industry, not an outsider telling them what to do.
Kieran knew that as long as Eckart didn't want to go back to the most difficult times, he would give his best to the 'shaman' show.
Kieran needed the show more than Kieran did.
"Okay."
Eckart heaved a long breath.
He was worried that Kieran would come up with some harsh conditions.
In fact, Eckart, who held many positions in the TV station and eventually became one of the few most powerful people in the station, had seen a lot of people who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
These people might be famous for a while, but in the end, they all died miserably.
If it was before, Eckart wouldn't be worried, but now, his situation was very special. He needed Kieran, a necessity.
He believed Kieran had seen through it.
He was prepared to pay a heavy price, but Kieran's reaction was out of his expectation.
However, things were developing in a good direction.
Eckart wouldn't reject.
He was already thinking about how to make it up to Kieran.
Eckart wouldn't believe in pure friendship.
Maybe he did in the beginning.
But now, he believed that friendship with benefits was more reliable.
If one side kept taking and the other side kept giving, it wouldn't last long.
"Leave the rest to me."
Eckart left the room after saying that.
The door was carefully closed without making any noise.
Kieran didn't even look up, he was immersed in the documents.
Precious was relative.
What was precious in Eckart's eyes was worthless in Kieran's eyes.
Even if Eckart gave him what he thought was precious, in Kieran's eyes, it wasn't as precious as the documents before his eyes.
Eckart misunderstood what Kieran wanted from the very beginning.
Of course, Kieran wouldn't remind Eckart. He didn't mind using this kind of mistake to mislead his collaborator, so that he could gain more help.
He was too 'weak' in this current dungeon world.
He was so weak that once his flaws were grasped, he would be finished.
Even the simplest collaboration had to be cautious.
After all, a collaboration between equal forces was a collaboration. A collaboration between one strong and one weak was called annexation!
If it really turned into the latter, unless Kieran was willing to rely on Eckart and become a tool for Eckart to seize benefits, it would be a life-and-death struggle.
Kieran didn't want to see that happen.
He didn't want to become someone else's tool either.
Therefore, he had to seize the initiative as soon as possible and abandon his reliance on Eckart.
It required time and opportunity.
Time was the present.
But to have the opportunity, one needed to keep creating.
Like what he was reading at the moment.
"Huh?"
Kieran raised a brow while he was reading.
