GBAS 20

[Party] Camellia : It could be that it’s just been given that attribute

[Party] Camellia : But for this one, I’ll explain the skill motions and mechanics one more time before we go in

[Party] Camellia : Okay, below the 11th floor

[Party] Camellia : From here on, dark-type monsters appear

Camellia took image fragments from the screenshot and attached them next to the names she had written down.

Skeletons, with the lore of being summoned and controlled through voodoo from those buried in graves, and Shades, mobs that live within shadows. Skeletons were familiar as they were major monsters that appeared in various places, but the name Shade was unfamiliar.

The people who tilted their heads at the name they had never heard before nodded as if they understood after checking the picture Camellia had attached.

[Party] FlatDumpling : Ah, so this is a Shade

[Party] poPlatoonLeaderwer : It looks like that thing from the movies, doesn’t it?

[Party] Jinyoung-kun : Ah, I think I know what you’re talking about

[Party] Jinyoung-kun : Are you talking about V-nom?

[Party] poPlatoonLeaderwer : Oh, yeah yeah yeah, that one!

The monster Shade, with a texture like a clump of black ink, had a head, torso, arms, and legs like a human. Its round head contrasted with its razor-sharp fingertips, which were very impressive.

[Party] FlatDumpling : It kind of looks like something out of a horror movie

While the party members’ gazes were fixed on the screenshot, Camellia briefly added that if swallowed by this monster, the person would immediately become a monster and attack their allies.

[Party] Camellia : And from the 17th floor, skeletons and vipers appear together. If you’re bitten by a viper, it can’t be healed with skills, so try to take them out while maintaining your distance.

[Party] FlatDumpling : Okay

[Party] Camellia : And the most important thing

[Party] Camellia : Until now, we couldn’t use potions brought from outside, so we’ve been somehow toughing it out with the dropped ones

Trailing off, Camellia patted Hyunwoo, who was standing in front of her, on the shoulder.

When Hyunwoo, who had been looking at the screen below, quickly raised his head, Camellia drew a picture of a potion next to the entrance to the 1st basement floor she had drawn on the screen, placed her finger on it, and said.

[Party] Camellia : This time, Noja-nim is coming with us, so I think it’ll be a little better

[Party] Camellia : But just in case, please check if potion crafting is possible as soon as we go in

[Party] Jeonguk-noye-jarang : Okay

[Party] Jinyoung-kun : Ooh

[Party] JuJuGeneralAssembly : Please, please, please be possible

They were all tired of having to carefully pick up every single monster-dropped potion they would normally ignore, and of having to play cautiously to avoid taking unnecessary damage after experiencing it three times.

Please, please. Jinyoung-kun and JuJuGeneralAssembly exchanged glances full of camaraderie and rubbed their hands together in supplication towards the person who would become their precious potion maker.

[Party] Camellia : We won’t know until we try, but

[Party] Camellia : honestly, other than crafting inside, there’s no other answer to make up for the recovery amount, so I think it’s likely to be right

[Party] Camellia : A no-damage clear is even more ridiculousㅠㅠ

[Party] JuJuGeneralAssembly : True true

[Party] poPlatoonLeaderwer : Wow, but not being able to drink potions is so critical

[Party] poPlatoonLeaderwer : If it doesn’t work, what will Jooin do, it’ll be so hard for him;

Since it was said that recovery items made outside couldn’t be used, he had packed his inventory full of raw materials that didn’t have a use option. Seeing that they were given the opportunity to gather herbs inside, the possibility that these couldn’t be used either couldn’t be ignored, but…

‘If they did that, they’d get a dump truck full of curses.’

Users enraged by the insane difficulty setting might line up with funeral wreaths in front of the company.

Camellia began her explanation again.

[Party] Camellia : The cave trolls mainly use a skill that generates a shockwave, and it has a strong knockback, so if you get hit properly, you’ll be frozen for about 3 seconds, so…

Summoning his inventory, Hyunwoo listened to Camellia’s explanation with his ears, while his eyes, catching Baek Jooin at the edge of his vision, began to sort and neatly organize the base potion ingredients that needed to be crafted as soon as they entered.

If it was confirmed that potion crafting was possible inside the dungeon, he would have to make potions for nine people, including his wolf’s share. He had a feeling he would be very busy.

After briefly explaining up to the monsters that appeared on the 27th floor, Camellia was discussing the terrain inside the cave with JuJuGeneralAssembly. Finding the way they expressed the width interesting, he was listening to their story when he heard a familiar voice from behind him.

[General] Aqua : Hiyo hiyo >ㅇ<

The last person to arrive was Aqua, the sub-character of WaterIsSelfServe, a YouTuber who runs a gaming YouTube channel and the mage of this party.

[General] JuJuGeneralAssembly : Hey, you said you’d be right back

[General] JuJuGeneralAssembly : What time is it now

[General] Aqua : sry sry

JuJuGeneralAssembly playfully punched Aqua in the side and sent a party invitation.
Aqua, who took the empty 8th party member spot, seemed sorry for being late and made a gesture of apology to the people who were already gathered with an awkward face.

[Party] Aqua : I was a little late setting up my gear, sorry~ >.ㅇ

[Party] poPlatoonLeaderwer : Are you filming today?

[Party] FlatDumpling : Oh, are you recording?

[Party] Aqua : Of course!

[Party] Aqua : There’s no way I’d be the fool to miss this red ocean?!

Right now, if you searched for information on the new continent and dungeons of <The Frontier> on YouTube, all you would find were fake card news edited with nothing but common speculations from the internet, without a single line of proper information.

It was a situation that arose because no one was releasing dungeon information, but there were plenty of people looking for it. The thumbnails were also made so intensely that even those passing by without much thought would be mesmerized and click.

If he uploaded a proper guide video at a time like this, not only would the views be guaranteed, but he could also gain a good reputation as someone who shared valuable information for the public good.

Excited, Aqua rejoiced, imagining the number of subscribers increasing in real-time.

‘I’ll get at least 10,000 more subscribers!’

The gaming YouTubers had also all agreed to put a self-embargo on releasing dungeon-related materials until the first clear group emerged, so this opportunity was very important.

He planned to edit today’s footage into a 1st draft that was already about 80% complete with the data obtained so far, adding tips for clearing each floor at the end, whether they cleared it or not.

Why?

‘Because the people who need to watch it can’t get down there right away anyway!’

Clearing it today would be the most beautiful picture, but realistically, he would be satisfied even if they just made it to the late 30s, or with a little more ambition, the 40s. The latter part could be filmed and uploaded later by referring to someone else’s guide video after it was released.

If by any chance, a very slim chance, they did clear it, he could upload the full video as soon as possible and hire an external editor to upload an edited version later.

Since they had already reached the 27th floor, there was no way he would fail, no matter what. As he was picturing how today’s footage would turn out and how he should edit the cuts, the platoon leader suddenly asked.

[Party] poPlatoonLeaderwer : But who’s going to watch that?

Who’s going to watch it. Annoyed by the disagreeable question, Aqua retorted in a sharp tone.

[Party] Aqua : Who do you think, the people who need it will watch it

[Party] Aqua : Or my fans will watch itㅡㅡ!

The platoon leader said with a calm face.

[Party] poPlatoonLeaderwer : No, I mean the tip video

[Party] Aqua : What about the tip video!

The platoon leader’s index finger pointed alternately at the two party members standing opposite him.

[Party] poPlatoonLeaderwer : With those two in it, won’t people not watch it because it lacks credibility?

Jooin and Jeonguk-noye-jarang. The two people pointed out by the platoon leader simultaneously looked at Aqua. He didn’t quite understand what he meant, so just as he was about to ask directly, the platoon leader continued.

[Party] poPoPlatoonLeaderwer : I mean, honestly, a tip is something you can watch and follow

[Party] poPlatoonLeaderwer : Something you can’t even get a feel for how it was done is just showing off, isn’t it

[Party] poPlatoonLeaderwer : Just a thought lol

At the platoon leader’s words, Aqua, who had been standing proudly, tilted his head.

…….

After pondering with a serious face for a long time, Aqua’s expression brightened again, and he let out a sly laugh.

[Party] Aqua : Hyung-nim, you only know one thing and not the other lol.lol

[Party] Aqua : All I need is for the views to be good??

[Party] Aqua : I have my ways~ >.<
