"ah I almost forgot "
Because Han wasn't paying attention during the opening of Mysterious Trader shop in this afternoon, he buying much more stuff than two days ago.
Looking at his current balance, it reached minus 5 millions.
There also the fact that he forgot to change the Dimensions Travels setting, he actually wanted to have a rest after Raiding the goblin camp.
"Well, I guess that I can't have a rest"
"Hmm...there also jackal mission"
'The flying relic are exhausted, so how I like to do it?'
The flying relic are only Han method of transportation, without flying abilities, searching for jackal little bit hard.
He began to looking at the 15 or so relic that he recently opened.
- [Resource Generator – tin]
- [Resource Generator – iron]
- [Skill: Quick Draw]
- [Skill: Heal(minor)]
- [Skill: Multishot]
- [Unknown fragment]
- [Blazing Heart] – the relic that can cast rank 1 spell
- [Carving KKnife]
- [Resurrection]
- [Mysterious Fruit trees]
- [Sounds of the wind]
- [Luminescence orb]
- [Five coloured flower]
- [Harmony Ring]
- [Thunderblades]
Amongst the 15 relic, there are only one weapon namely [Thunderblades] just like the names goes, it was weapon that made entirely from lightning.
[Resurrection] are life saving relic, that was good thing. [Luminescence orb] is just glowing ball of light, it can make people calm but also had 'purification' effect.
Looking at the list, there seems not single one that meet Han current needs.
Racking his brain, Han suddenly got an idea. In the movies of a guy getting bitten by a spider, there is interesting villain. This villain have four really strong mechanical machine that resembled a tentacle of octopus.
He wondered if the telekinetic thread can handle his bodyweight.
The telekinetic thread are can be considered as extension limbs, they are probably working better than human limb, it just that' Han need to find how to properly use it.
Han started to execute the idea.
And surprisingly, it worked on the first try. Han just leave the telekinetic thread as it was, he did not even need to combine them.
But as he tried to get higher from the ground, some thread started to get damaged.
Facing the problem, Han began to combine some of the thread, after the combination of the telekinetic thread reaching it limit, he will added more threads.
Han just repeated the process until he get approximately 180 metres above the ground. Even though he know that the range limit of telekinetic thread are 200 metres, Han just wanted to be safe.
After familiarised himself, Han thinking of how fast he can go.
So he 'order' the telekinetic 'limb' to run.
The running speed of telekinetic 'limb' aren't bad, they can run so fast if Han wanted to. but of course, the mana usage will also increase.
Looking at how fast the 'limb' can move, Han thinking about 'what if those force being used to flap a wings? Will I be able to fly too?'
So he began another round of experience.
And yes, it actually worked!
Han can use telekinetic 'wing' to fly, manoeuvring with a wing also no different from how he usually fly, so he more comfortable with this method instead of using telekinetic 'limb'.
Flapping his invisible wings, Han began to fly at lower altitudes, he needed to search for jackal afterall.
Usually it hard to find jackal during the day, these creature normally hunting at dawn and dusk. But, the Jackals probably already turned into zombies and didn't have these habit anymore.
Searching for the jackals blindly seems like a good option, Han needs to think about something.
Looking again at the quest description, Han finally found a clue.
'it said that the Jackals are 'proficient scavengers' what does it mean?' if someone use his brain properly, they can easily figured it out.
The key point are 'scavengers' and 'proficient', so what is scavenger? Scavengers are animals that consume dead organisms that have died from causes other than predation or have been killed by other predators.
So, how do you think jackals became 'proficient' on scavenging? How would they know the corpse that miles away?
Of course, that was because of their noses. The jackals are probably have strong smelling abilities. [1]
'if I guessed correctly, after turned into zombies, the jackals smelling abilities will be enchanted multiple times'
Trying to proven his guess, Han began a plan of 'fishing Jackals'. The bait was' of course, the dead body of Chief Goblins.
Alongside the journey, Han will make a stop five minutes each time for 'fishing'. He also didn't forget to wear the black robe to hide his aura.
After dozen or so 'fishing', the fish finally taken the bait.
There are two fox-dog looking animals running towards the goblin corpse at full speed.
Han also began to make move, he blocked their path in the middle.
Han diving down from the skies, and just like an eagle, he attacked his prey with his claw. But instead of claw, it is a longsword.
The two jackals stopped moving after getting their heads severed.
Han didn't want any monster getting closer to the goblin chief carcass, he wanted to sell it afterall, it can't be damaged.
And since the jackals are egoistic animals, they will not call their friends after finding the food, they probably only will howl when they are salivated enough.
The jackals corpse also can attract the other too, so he didn't need to dispose them. After becoming a zombies, eating their own kin are normal thing to do.
And just like that, after the first round of Jackals appear, more and more Jackals coming.
Han used the same tactics to take down those jackals, if there is to many of them, he use his bow to help him reducing the number.

"Finally...it done"
'System Alert: Reminder! Your time using the Dimension Travel are only 30 minutes left'
'
"Just in time"
With the reminder of the system, Han stored the goblin carcass and leave the area. He also didn't forget to clear his trail, with the flick of finger, a fireball appear flying toward mountain of zombie jackals corpse.
Han spent the rest of his time flying, only after the system says that he only had 5 minutes left did he stopped.
Waking up from his 'sleep', Han didn't directly move away from the bed. Han still tired, mentally tired.
He wanted to have proper sleep this time, so he went to sleeping again, for just couple of hours.
Only after having those two hours extra sleep did Han finally feel not tired anymore.
Taking a deep breath in the morning, Han went do things as always he do, starting a fire, making a breakfast and then continuing his journey.
Flying using the telekinetic wings are much better than using his normal flying method. Han can last longer if he used the telekinetic one. It is because when using the wings, Han are gliding in the air most of time, so it is really saved a lot of mana consumption.
With flying using wings can last for 3 hours, added with white feather, Han can fly for four hours a day. It must be taken notice that the Relic used inside Dimension Travel didn't share the same cooldown.
So, everytime he got inside Dimension travel the item will fully charged, when he get out from dimension travel, the item in the real world also will fully charged.
It feels like when Han got inside Dimension Travel, a day was passed, and when he get out, a day also passed. But in the real world, only a day has passed. [2]
After Han used up his flying time, Han spent the rest of the day practicing his swordsmanship other than occasionally hunt small animals and low level monster.
At night, he will just continue the journey while also killing undead along the road.
The same thing repeated few more days, Han didn't received any new mission nor he planning to open another mysterious shop.
The stockpiled material that came from opening the mysterious trader for the second time already a lot, and Han currently in debt.
He wasn't worried about not being able to pay-up though, the new year are still long. This month is Agust afterall.

[1] Jackals have a sharper sense of smell than a wolves.
[2] it much correct actually to call it as a half day or 12 hours, so when said a day passed it was 12 hours or after.
Those two days inside Dimension Travel are 24 hours. It is make a sense? I feel like explaining it are become more confusing.
