Chương 60: SPEED RUN

In the morning, he went for training as usual. But today, he tried controlling multiple objects smoothly. He realized that his normal telekinetic attacks had become faster and smoother. And he could easily control 3 objects at once for attacking. And with 'Weight Distortion' activated, he could smoothly control up to 4 objects for attacking. He also trained with 'Pierce' cast on his weapons. The difference was immediate. It felt way smoother and easier to control the objects. Jimin exhaled slowly.

"Good… This feels way better than usual." But he didn't stop. Time passed without him noticing.

By the time his training had finished, his 'Overtime', 'Weight Distortion', 'Pierce' and 'Accelerated Thinking' skills had reached level-2.

'Telekinetic Spin', 'Telekinetic Barrier', 'Meditation', 'Growth' and 'Dash' had reached level-7.

'Inventory' had reached level-6. He also gained [+1 PSY, +1 AGI and +1 END] from 'Meditation' and 'Growth'. He gave his status a check. —-------------------------------------------------- 【STATUS WINDOW】 Name: Sam Jimin Age: 16 Rank: E Level: 4 HP: 400/400 STA: 203/240 MP: 285/285 PE: 450/450 STATS: STR: 12 AGI: 14(+1) END: 15(+1) INT: 21(+2) WIS: 18(+3) VIT: 12 CHA: 4 PSY: 31(+4)(+1) LUK: 12(+2) FREE STATPOINTS: None UNIQUE SKILL: Skillmaster SKILLS → Telekinesis (Lv. 8) Telekinetic Spin (Lv. 7) Telekinetic Barrier (Lv. 7) Meditation (Lv. 7) Growth (Lv. 7) Dash (Lv. 7) Appraisal (Lv. 10) —-------------- —--------------- —-------------------------------------------------- Jimin quietly stared at it for a moment. The effects from raiding the Rift are now showing up. He took a deep breath.

"Today's training has been a blast," he muttered. I should raid the Rift more often from now on. —---- He ended his training for today and left for his orphanage. After reaching the orphanage, he went through his routine. After his preparation was complete, he left the orphanage to raid the F-Rank Rift.

After almost an hour-long ride by a local bus, Jimin finally reached the F-Rank Rift in Mapo district. He entered the facility by showing his Student ID and going through security checks. After entering, he saw quite a few teenagers like him, roaming around while wearing gear. This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. Jimin glanced at them briefly. Hmm… Quite a number of students are here at this hour. More than I expected.

In fact, this F-Rank Rift was only used to train students. Non-students were restricted from operating here. Jimin took a deep breath.

"Whatever…" he murmured. —----- As he advanced towards the Rift, he noticed that there weren't any notices hanging around for the Rift being booked by any school today. He took a deep breath. Good thing I checked their website before coming. In fact, this Rift was used by every school in Seoul to train their students. Like his school did yesterday. And for the rest of the time, all students could freely come here to train. I can leave soon, if I can clear it fast. His eyes sharpened.

"It's a speed run," he muttered with a determined expression. —--- Jimin decided to check first. And as he stood outside the rift, he noticed that there was a timer showing on a screen. —----------------------------------------- Time left until Monster Respawn - 3m: 43s —----------------------------------------- Jimin scoffed.

"Seriously?" Someone just had to kill the boss already. He glanced at the time.

"It's 10: 32 in the morning damnit…" his brows furrowed. When did they even come to raid? He contemplated for a few brief moments. There's still 5 minutes left until the monsters respawn.

"It will take at least two and a half hours for the boss to respawn!" he muttered. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. I'll just sell the loot from yesterday first. And gear up after that. —--- Jimin went to the exchange counter. But before that he looked around and found a spot where no one was looking. He took out a bag from his inventory, which he had already prepared beforehand. Jimin placed the bag on the counter and handed it over to the staff member. The prices were standard.

He got 730, 000 won for the horns and lump of slime jellies. It's good enough. He thanked the staff member and moved toward the changing room. He quickly changed into his battle gear. Then, he went to the arsenal to borrow items. But he found out that unlike yesterday, he had to rent the items this time. The rent was 40, 000 won for each piece of equipment. Jimin let out a small sigh. It's not much. I'll just rent the chakram. Then, he returned to the Rift entrance.

It showed that there were 1 hr and 48 mins left till the boss respawned. The regular monsters have already respawned… Other parties must be targeting the boss too. I have to finish it as fast as I can. Jimin entered the Rift without wasting any time. —--- This time, Jimin entered through a different gate. But he didn't waste any time there and immediately moved forward. He steamrolled through the path, making quick work of every monster he encountered on his way. And it seemed way easier than before.

But the distance seemed to be longer than the path from his training yesterday. So, it took him longer to pass through. Eventually, he reached the Boss's lair. It took him just a little under 2 hours. The Boss should've respawned by now. Jimin checked the entrance of the burrow. And it was not blocked by any barrier. There's no barrier yet. He let out a sigh of relief.

"I've made it just in time. No other party has entered yet," he muttered as he grinned. He entered the burrow immediately. —---- Jimin was finally at the boss's chamber. But this time, he was familiar with everything. He turned on 'Overtime', as soon as he stepped in. The Boss screeched and the battle began. Jimin wasted no time.

"Fireshot!" he whispered. A 'Fireshot' immediately shot forward from his palm. It hit a mob near the boss's feet; piercing through its face, killing it on the spot. Then, he started to quickly dispose of the other mobs with his usual block and attack strategy. But the boss tried to ambush him and charged at him, as he was fighting the mobs. He dashed aside instinctively, dodging the charge. Jimin immediately activated 'Weight distortion'. I can't let it jump this time.

He didn't hesitate and immediately drove the twin daggers into the boss's hind legs like yesterday. The boss groaned in pain. Jimin took the chance and immediately cleared the rest of the mobs with his chakram. Meanwhile, he received a notification.

Target has high Resistance. [Paralysis] has been nullified.

But he didn't hesitate. He immediately used 'Fireshot' on the boss's face to buy a second. The Boss screeched from the burn and staggered backward. While Jimin cast 'Pierce' on the chakram and immediately attacked the Boss's neck with it. The Boss was killed in the same manner as yesterday, just way faster and easier. He shouted, "Hell Yeah." Then, he received a notification.

'Pierce' has reached level-3 Then, he received another notification. —--------------------------------------------------- 【The F-Rank Boss 'Horned Rabbit King' has been killed】 Reward: +70 LP Total LP: 587 He collected the loot without delay, the same items as before. Jimin scoffed, shaking his head.

"Of course I didn't level up this time," he muttered. He let out a big sigh. Anyways, the ring really came in a clutch. The cool down reduction really helped. I got 'Fireshot' back just in time. He started picking up the loot. I got a good amount of Exp and loot. It's time to leave now. Jimin put the loot in his inventory and exited the Boss's lair. After a while, he got out of the Rift as well. Then, he went straight to the exchange counter again. But he only sold the loot from the regular monsters.

Because, he didn't want to attract attention by selling the loot from the Boss. And unlike the normal loot, the Boss's loot had good value in the market. He got a total of 820, 000 won from the exchange. Not bad. I got more than 1. 5 million from here today. And there's the boss's loot as well. Then, he took off his gear and returned the rented gear. After that he left the facility and headed for the Appraiser Center. —--- Today, Jimin had reached the Appraiser Center earlier than usual. So, he got to work more.

He earned a total of 8. 9 million won today. He was over the moon. 8. 9 million won… A wide grin spread across his face. Damn. This is the most amount of money I have earned in a day from here. If I can maintain this flow, I will soon be able to save enough for a home deposit… And if my reputation grows enough, I can even open my own office. He let out a big sigh. But I need to buy and upgrade my gear for now. I should sell the boss's loot first. I'll look for a chakram after that.

He left the Appraiser Center and headed to the 'Golden Scale Hall of Commerce' again.
