Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills

The guide led them down the bustling stone streets. 

The city was alive with plenty of activity.

There were merchants shouting out their wares, adventurers haggling over weapons, and armored figures moving in groups, discussing strategies. 

The scent of metal, sweat, and roasted meat lingered in the air, blending with the distant sound of hammering steel.

"Alright, listen up." 

The guide began, glancing back at them. 

"First thing you need to know, is that this city runs on Gold Coins!"

"No paper money, no credit cards, nothing from the outside world works here."

Elara furrowed her brows. 

"How do we get Gold Coins?"

The guide smirked. 

"Two ways!"

"One, you can sell items, materials, or services to other players in exchange for it..."

"And Two, you get donations from viewers watching your streams. If you're entertaining enough, some rich sponsor might just throw coins at you." 

He shrugged. 

"Simple as that."

Rei exchanged a glance with Nathaniel. 

That meant those with an audience had a serious advantage. 

If someone was already popular, they could practically fund their journey just by existing. 

Meanwhile, the unknowns? They'd have to scrape by the hard way...

"Anyway..." 

The guide continued.

"Let me show you around. First stop... we can go to the place that sells potions."

He turned a corner, leading them toward a wooden shop with a bright red banner hanging above the entrance. 

The scent of herbs and something oddly sweet wafted from inside. 

A plump woman stood behind the counter, arranging small glass vials filled with shimmering liquids.

"This is where you get your healing potions and other whatnots that you think you might need..." 

The guide said. 

"Basic ones stop bleeding and mend light injuries. The stronger stuff can save your life, but they're expensive. You'll need to be careful about how you use them."

Elara picked up a vial and swirled the red liquid inside. 

"And if we run out?"

"Then don't get hurt... obviously." 

The guide sarcastically said before moving on.

They walked further down the street, stopping in front of a blacksmith's forge. 

Inside, sparks flew as a shirtless man hammered a glowing sword against an anvil.

The heat from the forge made the air thick, almost suffocating.

"This is where you buy weapons and armor. Repairs too, if your gear gets busted..." 

The guide explained. 

"Don't bother asking for a discount, blacksmiths don't care if you're new or broke."

Rei whistled, admiring the craftsmanship on display. 

"Can we commission custom weapons?"

"If you've got the coins, sure. But it'll cost you extra."

After showing them a few more essential locations like the market square, the guild hall, and the training grounds, the guide finally stopped in front of the town's exit.

A massive stone archway marked the boundary between safety and the unknown.

Beyond it, a dirt path stretched into a dense forest, where the sounds of distant roars and rustling leaves hinted at the dangers waiting outside. 

Unlike cities on Earth, there were no guards posted at the entrance...

No one was there to stop them from walking straight into the wilderness.

"This is where you head out if you want to start hunting!" 

The guide said. 

"There are no restrictions. No curfews. You can stay out for as long as you want." 

He crossed his arms. 

"But a word of advice, stay together. Don't go wandering off alone..."

Nathaniel frowned. 

"Monsters on the first floor are that dangerous?"

The guide's expression turned serious. 

"They're monsters. They don't care if you're a newbie or a veteran. They don't care if you have potential or if you're a nobody. If you're weak, you die. Simple as that."

The air around them grew heavier.

"Some people get cocky because it's the first floor..." 

The guide continued. 

"They think they can solo everything because this place is 'easy.' Then they go out there, thinking goblins are nothing more than dumb little creatures with sticks." 

He exhaled sharply. 

"Next thing you know, they're getting dragged into a cave, screaming..."

A tense silence followed his words.

Adam understood the warning for what it was...

The first floor might be controlled, structured… but it was still a place filled with monsters. 

And such places never guaranteed survival.

The guide clapped his hands together. 

"That's all from me. You're free to do whatever you want now." 

He turned to leave but then paused, glancing back at the group. 

"Actually, one last thing... get some rest tonight. I'll personally lead you to your first hunt tomorrow."

Rei blinked in surprise. 

"We're not gonna go now?"

The guide snorted, waving him off. 

"I've got a gambling session lined up tonight. That takes priority, you lot can wait!"

Without another word, he walked away, disappearing into the crowd of adventurers and merchants.

Adam, standing near the town's entrance, watched him go before silently stepping toward the exit.

Rei noticed immediately. 

"Eh? Adam? Where are you going?"

Adam barely spared him a glance. 

"To level up."

Nathaniel's eyes widened. 

"E-eh? Didn't you hear what he said? You shouldn't go alone! It's dangerous out there!"

Adam stopped just long enough to tilt his head slightly. 

"Then come along if you don't want me to die."

Nathaniel and Rei were stunned into silence. 

His tone was calm, matter-of-fact, as if the idea of dying was nothing more than a minor inconvenience...

Elara, on the other hand, brightened up. 

"Ooh! Count me in! The views are gonna be great for this!" 

Her eyes practically sparkled at the thought of livestreaming a real hunt. 

"I'm coming with you!"

Adam ignored her and kept walking, his pace steady as he had already made a decision...

'I should get those items in the goblin caves first... I don't think anyone on the first floor has discovered the purpose of THOSE items yet...'

Adam thought...

If he could monopolize those items first... he reckoned he'd earn enough for good gear that he could use here in the first floor.

Rei hesitated before glancing at Nathaniel. 

They both knew this was reckless... 

But if they didn't go, Adam would end up hunting alone. 

And despite his confidence, this was still the Tower of Yxthar. 

Death wasn't just a possibility... it was an expectation!

Rei clenched his fists. 

'I won't be able to catch up with my brother if I keep being cowardly...'

Steeling himself, he ran after Adam. 

"Wait up!"

Nathaniel groaned in frustration, raking a hand through his hair. 

"You know, this is exactly the kind of mindset that gets people killed!" 

He shouted after them. 

"You guys, come back here! Can't we just wait for the guide tomorrow?!"

But Adam didn't stop. 

He wasn't being arrogant....

He simply didn't need a guide. 

He had already spent fifteen years inside the Tower of Yxthar. 

If anything, he'd probably end up guiding the guide himself.

With a sigh, Nathaniel shook his head.

"This is insane..." 

But despite his complaints, he found himself following after them anyway.
