Chapter 1472 Jin’s Run - Part 1
"Sire, do you think it"s wise to do that?" Raymond pleaded with Archduke d.y.k.e that he should be going off for his next appointment. "You have to meet the emperor for his kid"s sixteenth birthday. It would not be wise for you to skip that."
"Then tell the Emperor lackeys that the situation of my son"s predicament is equally important." Archduke d.y.k.e said as he suddenly freed the entire day for Jin"s "Virtual s.p.a.ce".
It was then Kurt and Lark asked Jin whether it is even possible for him to beat the game at the highest difficulty level.
"Wow, you are asking the creator to have a run of his virtual s.p.a.ce?" Jin was surprised that they even proposed that.
"Well, you did say that this training virtual s.p.a.ce would generate based on our skills and if you cannot beat it even at the highest level of difficulty then how can we trust that this is not a scam?" Kurt remarked.
"Now that I have all the time in the world, I too would like to see that in action." Archduke d.y.k.e said with a smile on his face. "You can even call upon your Mechanoids to work this out."
"No need. I will deal with this on my own." Jin said as he requested for the weapons cabinet to emerge from the ground. Immediately, his hands moved towards the pistols" section and started to choose two FN Five Sevens and one Smith & Wesson Model 66 revolver that was strapped behind his back.
No grenades, no flashbangs, no breaching devices. Just three guns with no additional ammunition clips. He was not even wearing a vest with the exception of a holster strap that allowed him to hold his revolver at the back as well as the holster to hold his two FN Five Sevens. The only difference was that he changed his prisoner uniform to a standard working attire. A white s.h.i.+rt, black pants with a tie to look more professional.
"Is he crazy?" the bodyguards commented that this was suicide since they never saw how Jin fought but Raymond was ecstatic. He knew that this was the time to sabotage him and Jin also knew that there was a high probability that they would be betting against him.
Yet it did not falter the Dungeon Supplier as he stretched a little. He still felt some fatigue from not being able to eat for a week since he was just a Grade 2 but it was nothing that he could not handle especially when he had been in situations where there was everything except food.
Still, he shamelessly asked if the guards had any rations that he could chew on since his stomach had been growling forever. Lark took out a high calorie snack bar and gave it to him and it reminded them that Jin had been imprisoned for a week without much food. The nurses did inspect him and gave him a few quick recovery booster shots but he was supposed to be resting right now since Jin had barely recovered.
This realisation made d.y.k.e a little embarra.s.sed that he had forgotten the predicament Jin had gone through to save his kid and now he was forcing him to show a demonstration at the highest level of difficulty. That was when d.y.k.e eyed Raymond and his personal attendant slowly nodded his head as to refrain himself from being overboard.
All of them had unanimously agreed not to bet against Jin and allowed him to complete this demonstration at the highest level of difficulty by himself.
"Ready." Jin closed the weapon cabinets and pressed a big red b.u.t.ton at the side to skip the remaining countdown while chewing on the snack bar. But unlike what he had advised the bodyguards, Jin stood at the very same place where the bodyguards stood before.
It was like a minor insult and provocation that Jin wished to show those bodyguards "You suck." And with Jin pressing the red b.u.t.ton, the countdown hastened to the last five seconds when his guns were still within holsters but his hands were there ready to pick them up whenever needed.
"Mission Start."
As expected, a sniper rifle shot was heard but this time there were no "warning shots" that were being fired. The spectator view could see that Jin was being aimed right at the chest with a firing line being drawn where the shot had come from.
But instead of a dead Jin, they were surprised that he was able to dodge it. Yet, even before he finished dodging, they heard another shot and this time it was louder. The ones who were familiar with that sound knew that it was not simply any other sniper rifle. That kind of sound was only made when you fired a large round calibre. As expected of a round that has the highest difficulty level has two snipers aimed at you.
And with that Jin was still able to barely dodge it but this time round, he took one FN five seven out and shot towards the large calibre sniper rifle. It did not score a hit against the shooter but the shot was able to damage the rifle"s barrel, causing it to dent. This rendered the sniper incapable of using that particular rifle without a risk of damaging oneself with a possible gun incident.
"What… did he do?" Kurt said as he could not believe his eyes. He never saw such acrobatic movements from a shooter before and now understood the reason why he did not even wear a bullet vest as it may hinder his movements. Still, it was like seeing a dancer in action even though he knew that even dancers could not evade bullets the way Jin did.
"His spatial perception is acutely accurate." Lark a.n.a.lysed as the third sniper shot fired off and Jin was still able to avoid it as he bent down a little to pick up a rock and threw it towards the window with deadshot accuracy. The spectators could see how the enemy sniper wished to take a shot again but the rock caused her to hesitate and withdraw back for a moment, allowing Jin to jump and climb onto the ledge of the second storey.
He did not go the normal way and everyone was eager to see if he could really make it.
