Raun's answer directly left Cathy frozen for a moment.
A Jobless Freelancer!
The brat Raun had so strongly recommended was actually just a Jobless Freelancer!?
"Wait a moment..."
As though unable to accept it, Cathy rubbed her brow before looking sternly at Raun.
"Raun, you know I don't like people making this kind of joke!"
Faced with the vice president's grave gaze, the middle-aged dwarf also put away his cheerful smile.
He returned her gaze with equal seriousness.
Then he said in a deep voice, "Before you arrived, Vice President, the other two and I personally witnessed this Freelancer's entire run through the first fifty floors of the Secret Realm!"
"His clear speed was even faster than Princess Sheng Luni's!"
"Princess Sheng Luni's clear time was nineteen minutes and twenty-one seconds. The people stationed at the Secret Realm camp have just finished calculating this kid's completion time!"
"Respected Vice President, try guessing just what score this monstrously talented Freelancer achieved."
Faced with Raun's composed reply, Cathy's displeasure instantly dissipated, though the deep confusion between her brows remained impossible to dispel.
She had already lived for several centuries.
Throughout those long centuries, aside from being obsessed with magic in her early years, Cathy had also been obsessed with traveling across nations and lands, witnessing all manner of strange people and extraordinary events.
She dared say that, when it came to knowledge and experience, aside from certain old monsters who had lived even longer than she had, few could surpass her.
Yet even so...
She had still never heard of a Jobless Freelancer breaking Princess Sheng Luni's record for the fastest clear of the lowest floors!
Were Jobless Freelancers rare?
No!
They were not rare at all!
