‘High-speed shooting’ itself wasn’t such a great ability.

It was just like a modern high-speed camera.

Capturing and filming countless moments that cannot be seen by the human eye.

However, the name of the skill given to me was not ‘high-speed shooting’.

[‘Time Magnification Shooting’ has been opened.]

──────────

[Time Magnification Shooting]

Forcibly restricts the movement of the subject in order to capture the subject more efficiently.

* Applies to: All subjects at a level below the photographer.

* Limited range: x0.8~x1.2

──────────

I re-read this short explanation several times.

‘What is this?’

I don’t know if you can call this a filming technique.

I don’t want to shoot at high speed, so you move slowly, something like that.

This was an ability that only wizards or debuffers who deal with curses would have.

‘0.8x speed?’

Expressed as a percentage, it is -20%.

‘Debuffer-type players must achieve at least level 80 to give a 20% debuff?’

It must take a lot of mental energy to use this skill, right?

Skill has a lot to do with an individual’s mental strength.

This is not a figure that can be embodied in numbers, but after using it a few times, you get a rough idea.

‘I’ll get a feel for it once I use it.’

It is an ability comparable to a level 80 professional debuffer.

There is no way that this fraudulent ability was given for free.

Obviously there will be a price to pay.

“Kim Jung-hyun, your movements will slow down for a moment. Don’t be surprised, attack me.”

[Use the skill ‘Time Magnification Shooting’.]

[Magnification: x0.8]

I tried using the skill, but it didn’t put too much strain on my mental strength.

‘uh?’

How can it be that there is no mental exhaustion?

Continuous use was also possible.

I think I could use it at least three times.

‘Is it because of the status of the emperor?’

I guess it is.

* * *

Cha Jin-hyeok’s unconscious is suffering from great inner conflict every day.

The head shouts number three, but the heart wants number one.

Unconsciously, my standards are high, but I consciously lower them forcibly.

His mental world is always fighting fiercely.

1. The obsession with not being too strong.

2. Excessively high standards stemming from the past.

These two conditions caused a strange collaboration and made self-objectification repeatedly fail.

In fact, being able to use an ability equivalent to time magnification shooting three times in a row cannot be explained by the ‘King’s Gye’ alone.

There must have been something more than that.

However, Cha Jin-hyeok’s reasoning decided not to think deeply.

It was because of the unconscious defense mechanism that if you actually objectify yourself, you will eventually rise to the top again.

Apart from the fierce war in the mental world, I was amazed at the ability of the skill itself.

‘It’s the level of a real level 80 debuffer.’

Kim Jung-hyun’s body movements were noticeably slower.

It was easy enough to dodge without paying much attention.

‘It’s good.’

Cha Jin-hyeok’s teammates were greatly surprised.

In particular, Seo Ji-soo, whose life is speed, opened her eyes wide.

“brother. What did you do?”

“I put on something like a curse.”

“Is the streamer cursed?”

“It’s like playing at 0.8x speed. It’s my first skill, so I don’t really know even if I ask for it.”

“Wow, that’s great. In that state now, I can just beat him.”

After acquiring this skill, I had a strange greed.

‘Should I push myself to become an all-rounder in the beginning? It must be possible in the beginning.’

Shooting unmatched as a streamer is possible in the beginning.

My experience is sufficient.

I am receiving much bigger support than expected, so I think I will be able to retire in the not-too-distant future.

Then, wouldn’t it be possible to enjoy it until just before retirement?

… … The thought passed through my mind.

‘Boy, no. What if I don’t retire?’

What if I can’t retire in the beginner section?

After that, there is no answer.

‘They said that the initial concept determines the life of a streamer. let’s not fuss don’t forget I’m just a regular streamer.’

I had to read myself today too.

But then.

Someone with a bad smell appeared.

It was a pretty familiar smell.

The smell of steel centipede secretions.

“I will kill you.”

His eyes were full of flesh, and he held a whip with spikes in his right hand.

It was black panties.

* * *

A member of the Avengers Corps, awakening name Black Butterfly.

Kaylin had to go through hell.

‘I have to live.’

At first, that was the only thought.

She moved on the body of a steel centipede.

Fortunately, it was the fact that the steel centipede was very insensitive to ‘tactile’.

She moved by rubbing against or rubbing against the steel centipede.

Steel Centipede’s body was covered with sticky secretions, and she covered herself with the secretions.

Kaylin experienced hell and barely escaped.

It took more than 10 hours to move just over 100 meters.

And she realized

‘I fell into a trap.’

Kim Cheol-soo must have set a trap.

After noticing Kaylin’s own tailing.

She struggled to get out of there.

‘Kill it.’

After being in an extreme situation for over 10 hours, she lost her temper as soon as she saw Cha Jin-hyeok.

Murderous intent dominated the mind.

[Use the skill, ‘Close neck’.]

He wrapped Cha Jin-hyuk’s body with a whip and tried to drag him away.

It was perfect timing, she thought.

‘done.’

It was a timing that made it difficult for the tankers and assassins on the other side to react.

Apparently it was.

‘uh?’

But it was strange.

It felt like the speed at which the whip extended was slower than usual.

‘what?’

I was seized by a strange feeling of slowing down my thoughts.

I feel like I’m alone in this world.

Oddly, it feels like only the time surrounding me is passing slowly.

Relatively the feeling that everything other than me is moving quickly.

It seemed that he was under a powerful curse.

It was the effect of ‘time magnification shooting’.

‘Huh?’

The moment he said uh uh uh, Cha Jin-hyeok bounced off the whip.

It was an intermediary.

Soon, Cha Jin-hyeok reached out.

My hand was so fast that I couldn’t dodge it.

‘crazy!’

In the slowed-down consciousness, Cha Jin-hyeok’s hands were like those of a first-class martial artist.

It was more like a whip than his own.

His hand, which came along a smooth path, grabbed Kaylin’s neck.

A voice was heard.

“Wow, the skill effect is good.”

Cha Jin-hyeok was very satisfied with the new skill, ‘time multiplier shooting’.

I felt very good after getting time magnification shooting following King’s Gye.

said pleasantly.

“I thought it was odd that he didn’t attack.”

Cha Jin-hyeok took out a dagger.

Cha Jin-hyeok doesn’t commit murder first, but he doesn’t spare the person who is trying to kill him.

And he didn’t attach any meaning to death.

That’s why I wasn’t very curious about the other person’s identity, and I wasn’t angry.

It was a very simple proposition.

If you tried to kill me, you can kill me too.

The moment he was about to stab Kaylin with a dagger, an urgent cry was heard.

“Wait!!!”

It was a voice very familiar to Cha Jin-hyeok.

* * *

The person who ran when he shouted was the star maker, Joseph.

Why is Joseph here again?

Joseph hurriedly ran over and grabbed my wrist.

“Let’s talk about this for a moment.”

“Let’s kill some and talk.”

The order is really wrong.

It’s not about talking about it, it’s right to kill and start talking.

“As the manager of the Avengers Corps, I apologize on behalf of you. I assure you, the black butterfly had no purpose to harm you.”

“A black butterfly?”

“I belong to the Avengers Corps.”

The future Avengers Legion kids are the ones who know it all.

Seeing what I didn’t know, he was probably an early member, and I don’t think he would have survived into the future.

“Please, let’s talk about it for a moment. I will explain everything.”

Hmm.

I let go of the hand that was holding my neck.

It’s the first time I’ve saved the assassin who was after my neck.

‘Still, if he’s a member of the Avengers, I’ll have to listen to him first.’

Egan Paul is an earth-born streamer.

You will grow into one of the most influential streamers on the planet, both in name and reality.

Joseph also becomes a great talent as a star maker.

There was nothing good about being stuck with these people.

My goal is to be moderately successful, and to do that, I need to have no enemies rather than having many allies.

But I think it would set a bad precedent if we just let it go.

I decided to compromise moderately.

“Then I only cut the limb tendons.”

“I will do whatever Mr. Kim Chul-soo wants, as long as you save the black butterfly. As long as it is within my ability.”

“Really?”

People of this era are really pure.

You hear everything you want

I don’t know what he would do if I asked him to give up his life.

“Okay, let’s listen to the story. But the next time something like this happens again, I will definitely kill him. I don’t like the back of my head getting cold.”

“All right.”

We moved once.

Joseph came into my hotel room and told me various things.

In short, it was something that was attached because he was interested in me, so to speak, like a spy.

What kind of spy do you put as an assassin?

If you’re going to be followed, you should have a detective job or a thief job that has no offensive ability, not an assassin job.

Since it is a beginner section with no clear job boundaries, the job has not been subdivided that far yet, so it seems that there are not many concepts yet.

“I recognized your star and genius right away. Egan Paul also appreciated your potential.”

“I have no intention of becoming a star. If the same thing happens in the future… … .”

“I know. that it will kill you.”

Somehow Joseph couldn’t give up in his eyes, but for now he let out a deep sigh.

“I will never bother you for a while.”

“for a while?”

“You will definitely shine anywhere. That light cannot be hidden.”

Clearly, that makes sense.

This world is a world where Himsunchin does not exist.

But when you retire, that’s it.

“There will come a day when you will definitely need me. Because you exist to become a star.”

He kept talking nonsense, so I just listened with one ear and let it go with the other.

Anyway, after I retire, he’ll probably stop paying attention to me.

“Did you ask for a million dollars for consolation money and the life of the black butterfly?”

“Yes?”

What I asked for was 1 million diamonds, not 1 million dollars.

I didn’t really want to mess with Egan Paul, and I didn’t really want to make a lot of money with people’s lives.

I was just going to get 1 million diamonds and beat it, at least formally.

Because it wasn’t much of a threat anyway.

Isn’t it a bit like extorting a million dollars from a pissed off kid just because he poked it with his finger?

“They said it was 1 million diamonds.”

“Yes, of course. I will pay you a million dollars.”

“… … .”

“Since you saved the black butterfly, I have to pay for it.”

I felt a determined will in Joseph.

A strong will to pay me $1 million no matter what.

“I hope you don’t bother me with this.”

“of course. I have also prepared a memorandum here beforehand.”

Joseph was certainly a thoroughgoing man.

It was a memorandum stating that he did not want any demands or reciprocation from me under the pretext of this one million dollars.

If you’ve done this enough, I think you can accept it.

I didn’t know, but Joseph paid about 100 million won to each of my party members as damage compensation or something.

Thanks to that, the kids smiled.

Seo Ji-soo, who seemed a little upset when he first came here, was also happy.

Cha Jin-sol was also wearing a great capitalist smile.

“Oh, can I love my brother?”

“go away.”

“hehehe, I love you.”

Since he was a younger brother who had been lost once, a sympathetic heart arose, but he could not express it.

If I pretended to be a good brother or a friendly brother for no reason, Cha Jin-sol would hate and run away.

I just treated him as usual and he liked it even more.

We returned to Korea without any problems.

Immediately, I headed to the workshop of old man Choi Kap-soo.

Old Man Choi Gap-soo looked a little annoyed.

“Why don’t you turn on the broadcast? It’s because the streamer is so insincere.”

“I want to make a request.”

“request?”

“Yes. You’re an alchemist. Do you also make potions?”

“See you first.”

I took out the ‘Ogong Toxin’ from my bosom.

It was a potion-type item obtained while hunting a steel centipede.

“Can I make a poison optimized for hunting toads with this?”

Of course you can.

And if you have it, you can clear the ‘Golden Toad Dungeon’, which is called the best gift in the low-level section below level 60.

And if I clear it a few times, I can become the owner of a building in Yeonhui-dong.

Maybe I’ll be able to retire much sooner than planned.
