Chapter 987: Chapter 21 True. Standing Post Masturbation! _3

An hourglass, a book.

The sands of time in the hourglass trickled down a thread.

The book was open, revealing only one page.

On it was written: 177/1000

Jason’s mind raced with guesses at the sight of the hourglass and book, and to confirm his conjecture, he took a brief rest before heading towards the door again.

Without truly stepping outside.

Jason remained on the threshold, yet even so, the firewood in his hands was immediately extinguished.

But this did not hinder him; Jason raised his hand and cast a [Protection Against Evil].

sI oT Yn!

‘i!

The monsters surging around the stone house were instantly engulfed by the [Protection Against Evil].

Amidst the monsters’ shrieks, Jason returned indoors, rekindled the firewood, and looked back at the hourglass and notebook.

The sands in the hourglass continued to flow.

The number on the notebook had changed.

178/1000!

The monster he had just killed was now counted.

“So, if I kill a certain number of monsters within a set time, I can complete the [Protection Against Evil] assessment?”

“Then…”

“What happens if I exceed that number?”

A gleam of light sparked in Jason’s slightly narrowed eyes.

His brain whirred into action.

Undoubtedly, this must be the key place for the ‘Night Watcher’s core skill [Protection Against Evil] to advance.

Here, the ‘Night Watcher’ who had cast [Protection Against Evil] could rest thoroughly before fighting the monsters again, of course, it’s not a leisurely battle.

The nearby hourglass said it all.

The stipulated time!

With this in mind, a ‘Night Watcher’ arriving here must do their utmost.

Although Jason didn’t know the possibility of failing the [Protection Against Evil] advancement assessment.

However, if possible, he never wanted to find out.

“My physique is 6.8 times that of an ordinary person, and my recovery rate surpasses the average person.”

“Moreover, my Talent and the recovery power of [Battle Rune. Prus. Griffin. Shadow Forge Body Forging Technique] give me more opportunities.”

“And…”

“Flash Technique!”

Jason’s gaze swept over his remaining 1078 points of satiety before naturally settling on the [Flash Technique].

The recent success could be greatly credited to the Flash Technique.

He had acted on the assumption, never considering skills outside the ‘Night Watcher’ profession.

But did others think of it?

They must have.

Yet, who would level up [Flash Technique] to Master?

Even for him, with the advantage of satiety and Excitement of Feast and various fortunate coincidences, promoting [Flash Technique] to Master required much effort.

Ordinary people simply wouldn’t spend so much energy.

Most people would likely delve into researching inherently stronger, core techniques.

Like [Protection Against Evil]!

Jason was certain, that the predecessor ‘Night Watcher’ who modified [Protection Against Evil] to be cast remotely must have been determined to improve it after facing this kind of situation, to facilitate future ‘Night Watchers’.

“Thank you.”

Jason said with sincere gratitude.

As a beneficiary, he felt such thanks were necessary.

Even though he didn’t know the person, the scene before him elicited his sincerity.

Standing in the doorway, Jason repeatedly cast [Protection Against Evil].

Exhausted, he returned to the house to rest and replenish his Physical Strength using the Breathing Method of [Battle Rune. Prus. Griffin. Shadow Forge Body Forging Technique], resting enough before standing in the doorway once more to casually release a [Protection Against Evil].

Swiftly, the numbers in the book changed at an accelerating rate–

179/1000!

180/1000!

181/1000!

…

1024/1000!

…

2048/1000!

…

10000/1000!

When the number broke through to ten times the original requirement, Jason leaned gasping for breath against the door frame, two steps away from the cabin, looking at the hourglass.

At that moment, there was still a thread of sand left.

The record book, however, started to glow faintly.

Looking at this scene, Jason let out a slight sigh of relief.

All the hard work was not in vain!

You must understand, after completing the basics, Jason advanced towards his set goals.

Twice the basic goal, thrice, four times…

Yet there were no changes no matter what.

And the sands in the hourglass dwindled ever more.

This made Jason even more anxious; he had no choice but to resort to his limit state again.

Naturally, under such a condition, death was inevitable, especially when some of the monsters that appeared later could touch the doorframe.

This was not beyond Jason’s expectation.

Among many monsters, it was reasonable for some to be particularly strong,

Just as among a group of people, a few particularly strong individuals would emerge.

However, what happened next was somewhat beyond Jason’s expectations.

With the appearance of these stronger monsters, the other ordinary monsters that originally fought only on instinct seemed to suddenly become intelligent. They no longer chaotically blocked the stone house’s doorway, instead choosing to move to the sides, out of Jason’s direct line of sight. This forced Jason to stand in the doorway to effectively spot a few monsters.

After that, these monsters became even more troublesome.

They not only kept their distance from the stone house, hiding outside the range of [Protection Against Evil]’s long-range attacks.

But what concerned Jason even more was that they learned to ambush and plot.

When they completely moved away from the house, forcing Jason to step out to spot them, these monsters circled back and blocked Jason’s way back.

That was the first time.

In subsequent encounters, these ordinary monsters began digging traps.

Even, on several occasions, they used themselves as ‘bait’, then let the stronger monsters attack Jason.

This caught Jason off guard.

Without a doubt, this was done under the command of the powerful monsters.

Under such coordination from the monsters, even with a ‘safe cabin’, Jason died no less than a hundred times.

But what was more important was that in addition to physical strength, the battle of wits and bravery with the monsters also drained Jason of… mental energy.

This forced Jason to spend even more time recovering.

As he watched time dwindling down, thinking about whether to fight more aggressively,

The change finally happened.

Jason stared wide-eyed at the book.

The numbers faded, and words started to appear–

Being called a mimosa by Him… so happy (*^V^*).
