Chapter 247: 2nd day of selections (1/2)

2nd day of selections saw selections for blacksmithing , beat the clock and Cliff fighting events.

Jhonny and Fatty Kalash were going for blacksmithing , Rudra and Neatwit were going for beat the clock , while Karna went for cliff fighting.

Everyone was shocked when Jhonny decided to go for blacksmithing event , especially Rudra who had been raining praises on him and SMG for being selected in prison escape.

He knew that Jhonny's subclass was blacksmith , however he did not know if he had any real talent. But he did not pay the matter much mind though , as he believed that it was just a third event that Jhonny was casually trying. Little did he know that Jhonny was the most serious about this event.

Rudra and Neatwit were going for beat the clock challenge , and both were pumped for the event , Rudra and Neatwit made a pact to buy lunch if the other cleared more floors than the former , however they both vowed to come number one and two and take the spots for Japan.

This event was also a mock event , the floors and the monster levels will not be the same in the actual VR Olympics , and would be more difficult.

However that did not stop Rudra and Neatwit from absolutely mauling their way through the first 20 floors.

Both of them had absolutely no chill , although for a five minute clock timer , after clearing it in 3 minutes they could wait for a next minute , drink some potions and restore stamina before going up , the two just kept climbing floors like it was piece of cake.

Neatwit was a absolute machine in farming mobs as it was his full-time job and only passion in the game. For the first 20 floors he was even faster than Rudra by a full minute in time taken to clear.

Only when the monsters crossed level 40 did he start slowing down , and Rudra caught up. Rudra started to show his massive stat advantage after floor twenty , as when Neatwit slowed down and had to take his time to deal with the monsters , he with his stats was still a slaughter machine.

At floor 25 he overtook Neatwit , and by floor 30 he had a one minute lead over the guy.

The monsters got level 55 at floor 31 , and now even Rudra had to be careful , the clocktimer now showed 4 minutes time for each level , and it was more difficult than before.

For the first time , after clearing the floor in 2 minutes 50 seconds. Did Rudra stop to drink a stamina potion. He was still at 90% hp , however he still drank a basic HP potion. Before going up.

Rudra became more sensible in his fighting floor 32 onwards , as he started to clear the floors only 30 minutes before clear time. He could clear it faster if he wanted to , however he understood that this competition was about lasting the longest and not about going the fastest. Hence he went into energy saver mode.

At floor number 40 , Neatwit had once again caught up with Rudra. However contrary to Rudra , who was conserving strength , he was still going at full pace. Farming mobs was a sort of addiction for him , and he was a machine deriving pleasure from slaughtering them , he was physically burning out , but mentally in a ecstasy.

Monsters became Level 65 at floor 41 and the time limit was shortened to 3.5 minutes.

Rudra really started to feel the pressure now , as he started to climb the floor with barely 10 seconds to spare.

Neatwit was barely hanging on , clearing floor 42 and 43 with less than 3 seconds to spare.

At floor 44 , Neatwit missed the timer and was teleported outside , his current rank was one. However it changed to two within 3 seconds as Rudra cleared floor 44.

Neatwit who was panting , saw the leaderboards and saw that nobody else crossed level 40 , and that some were still struggling at level 32 while most between 32 and 44 had missed the clock.

He looked proud , firstly for himself , and next for Rudra who was still climbing at floor 49.
