《The Strongest Skill: Getting rich while becoming stronger》11. Chapter 11
Advertisement
Unaware of the situation outside, Kenshin has fully immersed in his thoughts. The equipment dropped by the boss was too good, as such, he has decided to send it to his sister. Now his thoughts are fully on this system he has gained.
This system was not as simple as he had thought.
For what reason, I got this? Who gave it to me? Is it the god? -these type questions floated in his mind.
This system makes everything for him a game. It changes his very perceptive itself. For a certain point of view, it was like having the power to change the reality. Suddenly, Kenshin jolted awake with his eyes wide open, scaring the other eight men sitting near him.
‘Power to change the reality! Wouldn’t it come under a Divine class ability? As far as I know, the only person that has a divine class ability in this world is Yamazaki Aoi. Compared to her ability, I wonder how good is my system!’ as he was wondering about this, suddenly, a crazy thought entered his brain.
What if I become as powerful and influential as Yamazaki Aoi? Although she has her divine ability, he also has his system. But, Kenshin buried that thought inside his heart then and there. Although his system was godly, he still hasn’t explored it fully. In comparison, Yamazaki Aoi’s powers are regarded as natural disasters. With a sigh, he let go of his crazy thought and instead, concentrated on recuperating.
Due to the appearance of the boss, the second floor was devoid of all monsters, allowing Kenshin and the other eight men to take rest as long as possible. With his current rate of healing, it would take around six minutes for his HP bar to fill up. On the contrary, his MP bar has already filled to the brim in five minutes.

That 140 point of HP has reminded Kenshin of how close he was to death. He unconsciously took a cold breath of air.
Too close! Way too close!!
He ought to find out something that could increase his defense. Kenshin returned to the main menu of his interface and selected the shop option. Instantly, four options appeared again.
[Potions] [Weapons] [Armors] [Skills]
Every RPG gamer knew what these four options are for, Kenshin doesn’t waste time and selected on potions first.
A range of names with their properties appears on the interface screen.
Low Health Potion(Heals 20% of health)-10G
Medium Health Potion(heals 50% of health)-20G
Greater Health Potion(Heals total health)-50G
Low Magic Potion(20% magic regain per consumption)-4G
Medium Magic Potion(60% magic regain per consumption)-10G
High Magic Potion(100% magic regain per consumption)-20G
Low Strength Potion(Increases STR by 20%)-1G
Medium Strength Potion(Increases STR by 60%)-3G
…
Like this, the list of potions with various properties continued. The existence of the health and magic potions gave Kenshin a deep sense of relief. It will come in handy during emergency times. Then he returned to the previous menu and directly selected skills options, skipping past the armors and swords option. He was prepared to browse those two options in his home.
Two options appeared again.
[Active] [Passive]
“As expected!” Kenshin muttered in astonishment after seeing the two options. He chose the passive option first.
This time three options appeared on the blue screen.
[Offense] [Defense] [Others]
Kenshin has chosen the offensive first.
Armor Pearce Lv 0(Max 5)(increases ATK by 2% per level)-150G
Defenceless Lv 0(Max 5)(Reduces opponents’ DEF by 2% per level)-120G
Restrict Movement Lv 0(Max 6)(Reduces opponent’s AGI by 2% per level)-200G
…
Kenshin noticed that all these passive offensive skills can only be maxed up to level 5 or 6. A frown marred his face. All these skills that he could afford are only low-level ones. Kenshin closed the window and selected defensive ones this time.

Earthen Shield Lv 0(Max 10)(increases DEF by 2% per level)-250G
…
…
As Kenshin skimmed through the skills, suddenly his eyes landed on a skill that was near to the end.
Mirror Reflection Lv 0(Max 50)(Blocks and then reflects 5% of total damage received to the opponent per level)-1050G
‘This skill is very interesting. Not only it blocks the damage but also reflects it back to the opponent. I have decided, I will buy this skill’ Kenshin decided to buy that skill. He selected on the skill and instantly a prompt appeared.
[You have selected to learn passive skill ‘Mirror Reflection’, 1050G will be deducted from your balance. Do you wish to continue!?]
[Yes/No]
Kenshin selected yes with some hesitation, after all, its 1050G.
Suddenly a weird tickling sensation spread throughout his body. It was very uncomfortable, making Kenshin scratch his body like a monkey. The uncomfortable sensation stopped after few seconds as another prompt appeared in front of him.

After deduction of 1050G, his account now has only 700G. With the loots he had accumulated today, he would gain around 10,000 G after selling it. Suddenly, Kenshin felt as if making money was no longer a hard task. With the equipment he had received from the boss after killing it, his goals are also reached.
He decided to return home.
Kenshin stood up and headed towards the door of the second floor. The eight old men also followed him to the gate, they have also decided to call it a day. The appearance of the boss has given them a huge shock, making them unable to think straight.
XXX
On the outside of the dungeon gate, a group of men, wearing a type of body suit and armor stood in a straight line. They all have their heads covered in helmets and their faces in yellow visors. There was a shiny sword on their waist. Leading them was a man with a handsome face and sword like eyebrows. He was the only one in this group who wasn’t wearing a helmet. He was holding a large steel shield on his right hand.
They are looking ready to enter the dungeon and slaughter everything in their sight. This person was precisely Mr. Hasimoto that the manager of DCB of Mito branch was talking about.
He has come here with his team to suppress the boss.
