The blue light abated, and Kai found himself once again in the White Room.

Welcome Contestant Kai Stormborn

You seem rather happy about something

]

...

Chaos greeted him as if their last confrontation had never taken place.

Kai narrowed his eyes but didn't deny it. He was happy. The smile on his face was solid proof of that statement.

Just before going for the battle, Kai had visited the Thunder Faction's Item shop.

Arlen had been right about not having a weapon better than the sabers, but the Item shop had other things too. Kai had bought 5 HP capsules at 50 MC each, 5 MP capsules at 100 MC each, and 2 SP capsules at 200 MC each.

The three different capsules were of different colors.

The HP capsules were red, MP capsules were blue, and SP capsules were bright yellow, almost gold. Yet, all restored 50 points of their respective Stat.

The exorbitant price of SP capsules had shocked him, but even after spending so much, he still had many Mission Credits left. If it weren't for Petyr's plan, Kai would have spent more on different potions of his liking.

Then there was the Battle itself.

Completing the Kill Count of the 2nd Floor in one go wasn't just for show. All his Proficiencies, except the Snake Language, had again undergone a major boost, nearing to their Advance version.

"I am," Kai nodded. "I have some questions to ask first."

Petyr Baelish had suggested to Kai that there were two major conclusions about the problem he was facing.

First, it wasn't the Main Missions' Time Limits that affected Kai, but the actual number of Main Missions he would need to complete.

Second, to complete the Main Mission's Objective but still not being able to come out before the Time Limit.

This thing even Kai had not thought about. His eyes had shone brilliantly, then. But that brilliance erupted when Petyr proposed the viable solution. The solution was:

... Buy your way out!

"As per the privilege given to the 3rd ranked Contestant on the Worth Stat Ranking, I can opt for a single Main Mission to ascend the three floors of 1st Set," Kai said, smiling slyly. "I can take it as compressing the Main Missions into one. My question is, can the remaining Main Missions of this Set still be compressed, despite ascending the 1st Floor?"

The Initiation Mission was a one-time thing.

So, theoretically, a Contestant needed to complete 4 more Main Missions to ascend a Set, including a Floor-Ascending Mission.

Petyr's question had struck the root of the privilege given to Kai.

Chaos' greeting notification flickered as if even the System hadn't thought about this before. But it might as well have been something else. Who could say?

The notification changed.

...

[

Yes.

However, the Contestant is hereby WARNED.

Compressing the Main Missions into one would make the Contestant lose his privilege to choose between two Main Missions.
