Ray reactivated his Machine Lord Transformation and dashed around the area, killing random monsters that got in his way. Evidently, this wasn't enough since the amount of EXP he got from these monsters was barely there at this point in the upper-ish levels.
"Damn it, not working. I even sent out the golden star drones, yet the EXP I get can barely be accounted for, fuck! I only have a few more hours and I'm still at Level 42."
He muttered to himself mid-flight, constantly generating new methods of fighting. New magic wouldn't help at this point considering the most suitable magic; Technological Magic is even having trouble dealing with this mission.
"Okay, I need to calm down and rethink my strategy. Maybe I'll even go back home, yeah, that's what I'll do!"
Ray declared to himself that he would go back home to chill and think of more strategies for a little while before going back to complete this round of Brainless Leveling.
He swiveled mid air and changed his course of flight to his apartment and recalled the golden star drones while he was at it.
"Thud!"
A loud thud echoed through the hallways when Ray landed on the balcony of his little apartment. The moment his feet touched the ground, the drones were disabled and landed on the floor and his Machine Lord Transformation also came off at the same time.
*SIP!*
"Blek, cold coffee!"
Ray unconsciously picked up his coffee cup and took a large sip, only to find that this savoury hot beverage from earlier in the morn was now cold.
"Oh shit. What in the fucking hell am I to do? That bastard is literally going to kill me if I fail to complete this mission!"
Ray paced around the small living room nervously. This might have been the first and last time he would be so nervous because of some mission. His nervousness wen far, considering that he didn't even realize that the TV remote was in his sweaty palms and his index finger was on the ON button.
"Breaking News: Earlier in the morning, we have received cases of various individuals being randomly attacked by heat-seeking missiles. These individuals were one of the lucky few who survived the missile bombings.
It turned out that these individuals were not the only beings to receive missiles. Four F-rank BOSS-level beasts, no less than a hundred E-rank beasts, ten D-rank beasts, and ten E-rank humans were reported dead due to the same case of missile bombings.
The people involved with these bombings have dubbed the one responsible; God Heat Seeker. And on security footage, we seem to have caught the face of this "God Heat Seeker".
It turns out he was just an ordinary NEET before He arrived. But all that seems to have changed with the emergence of different types of powers. He is registered in the government database as Ray Kelly, a twenty-one-year-old who makes a living criticizing webnovels on the internet.
This man, Ray Kelly was also seen a few weeks ago killing a large F-rank mosquito boss near his apartment. The people there also gave him a nickname which is Machine Lord due to the wide range of machinery on his body.
The experts on Paranormal studies and Individual classification in the USA have referred to this man as one of the most powerful men that came about after His arrival. They have also classified him as an A-rank individual.
Warning! If you come across this man do not act rash, as we do not understand his motives yet."
"And in unrelated news, A-rank criminal, Kunta was arrested..."
Hearing his personal information being broadcasted over the news network was something new to him. They even got his job information down. Ray felt refreshed after the sudden and comprehensive breakdown on his profile.
This was another thing to worry about.
"Sigh, all I wanted to do was keep a low profile. Who knew that killing a few beasts and some random guys by accident made me a 'God'?"
"Anyway, I've got bigger problems to deal with. This mission isn't going to complete itself."
With that, Ray went back to doing the thing he originally came back home for.
"Maybe I can- No, that won't work, or maybe I can- no won't work either!"
Ray went through a dozen different ideas and still was not able to come up with anything. In frustration, he called up his status.
"Status!"

After carefully going over his status, he discovered a part he didn't know was ever there.
"Of course, I hadn't noticed the stat points..."
It might not have seemed like much, but to Ray, it was pretty much a blessing in his situation. He immediately assigned twelve of his stat points to intelligence. Ray was suddenly filled with new concepts he could use to finish the mission quickly and easily, his mind was also filled with unrelated concepts inspired by the most basic things.
"Ugh, get yourself together!"
Smashing his teeth together, Ray was able to dominate over the influence of over-intelligence, his stats now listed as follows;

Under the effects of the increased intelligence stat, it turns out that it is far easier for MP and HP to regenerate, and the system's remark on him changed too. So, that was probably one win for him that day.
"I got it!"
Just randomly thinking of the effects of the INT stat, Ray got a sudden enlightenment on how to complete the mission.
