Chapter 86: I Decline (2)


    Thud-thud-thud-thud!


    Thud-thud-thud-thud!


    As Ryu Min continued to run without stopping to focus solely on hunting the mobs, he suddenly halted.


    Hmm?


    He paused in response to a message that had popped up.


    Cannot locate target Centaur anymore.


    It was a weing messageHe hunted them all.


    Finally, theyre all gone, Ryu Min muttered.


    He checked the kill count and the remaining time.


    [Current kill count: 1,920/100]


    [Time remaining until the end of the round: 00:20:43]


    About 1,920 kills in roughly 5 hours and 40 minutes.


    It was incredibly fastpared to what he had expected.


    At that moment, a panting voice came from behind.


    Haah, haak, ck Scythe. Is it finally rest time?


    Yes, were done with hunting.


    Ah, hunting is over?


    Because I tried the tracking skill and found no Centaur left in the field.


    Oh


    Only now did the group check the time limit.


    Only 20 minutes left? They eximed, feeling a sense of urgency creeping in.


    It had been a mere three hours since theirst check, but time had swiftly slipped away, leaving them in a race against the clock.


    Amid the relentless pursuit and constant action, there had been no chance to pause and take stock.


    Huh? E-everyone, check your levels, An Sang-cheol urged, his toneced with surprise.


    The party members hurriedly opened their status windows, their faces reflecting a mix of confusion and astonishment.


    O-our levels


    Theyve shot up significantly


    The truth was that they had been too caught up in the pursuit to spare a moment for level checks. For Ryu Min, it had been a relentless grind after the agreed rest period.


    Certainly, the asional message had hinted at level increases, but they hadnt had the luxury to tally them up one by one.


    Later on, as the chase intensified, they had even been too preupied to pay heed to those messages, so the shock among the team was quite understandable.


    I-it was 20 initially, but now its 34.


    Im in the same boat.


    From 20 to 34.


    Mine went from 21 to 35.


    I was 23, and now Im 36


    As Heo Tae-seoks response came in, Ryu Min muttered to himself, recognizing that everyone had gained 13 to 14 levels.


    Well, its no wonder, considering the first digit changed from 2 to 3.


    In fact, Ryu Mins own level had made a significant leap, shifting from 40 to an unexpected 54.


    This impressive feat was thanks to the 3x experience round buff and the title he earned that multiplied experience by 1.5x.


    With over 1,900 kills under his belt, he had acquired a trove of items, including neen Magic Stones, nine pieces of Normal Equipment, misceneous items, and


    The ingredients needed for a God-gradebination.


    Ryu Min scrutinized the item information once more.


    [Glimmering Tail]


    Category: Inventory


    Description: As the name suggests, its a tail that glimmers. Faint magical energy can be felt.


    This is more important than anything else.


    Ultimately, the keyy in the materials required for a God-gradebination.


    Perhaps because he had secured the key item, Ryu Min couldnt help but let a satisfied grin creep onto his face.


    All the hard work had certainly paid off.


    Now, I just need to find two more items


    At that moment, his teammates let out a collective gasp.


    Everyone, check this out! W-weve amassed a huge amount of gold.


    I-I have the same.


    Its 115,000 gold


    Most likely, their situations mirrored his own.


    Since they were in a party, the gold had been evenly distributed among them.


    Of course, there might be some differences based on our Luck stat.


    In contrast to his teammates, Ryu Min had a staggering 150,000 gold in his possession, thanks to a Luck stat exceeding 350, which increased his chances of acquiring extra gold.


    W-what should we do with all of this?


    Having this amount of money doesnt feel right right? Haha


    His party members were unsure how to spend their newfound wealth, so Ryu Min offered some guidance.


    If you dont have a specific use for the money, buy utility skills from the store. Invest in Perception, Enhanced Night Vision, and Basic Resistances. Save the rest of the gold, and if you spot something you need in the daily items section, make the purchase.


    Ah


    I will follow your advice Mr. ck Scythe.


    Understood.


    The party members nodded, readily epting Ryu Mins counsel. Given his high insight and extensive experience, it made perfect sense to heed his words.


    While his teammates indulged in unexpected shopping, Ryu Min opened the quest progress window.


    [Area C-ESKS007]


    Participants: 1,010


    Achievers: 455/505


    Observing the number of achievers, it was evident that 50 remained.


    That means there are only 10 Minotaurs left.


    He promptly activated the Track Minotaur skill to pinpoint their location.


    [Location of target Minotaur has been determined.]


    [Currently 198 meters away.]


    Seeing that the Minotaurs were rtively close, Ryu Min took the lead.


    Follow me. We need to defeat the final boss.


    Oh, alright!


    After a few brisk strides, they finallyid eyes on the Minotaur.


    However, they werent alone; three other teams were already waiting nearby.


    Oh, its ck Scythe?


    Hes finally moving!


    ck Scythe! Please party with us!


    Lets hunt together!


    Without hesitation, Ryu Min shook his head.


    No. I dont intend to share contributions with you.


    Huh? Then


    Ryu Min nonchntly remarked, Ill take down the boss on my own.
