Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills

The War Goblin Flute.

Most adventurers saw it as junk, tossing it aside the moment they looted it from goblin corpses.

The sound it made was awful, grating, and barely resembled music.

But Adam knew better...

In his past life in the Tower of Yxthar, he knew that flute was a lot more useful than it looked.

As the group moved deeper into the forest, Nathaniel started questioning his life choices.

'Why did I follow them...?'

Shadows stretched across the damp ground making the path ahead feel more ominous than it had any right to be.

Nathaniel sighed, rubbing his forehead.

"I can't believe we're doing this. We should've waited for the guide…"

"Too late to back out now."

Adam walked ahead without looking back, his tone indifferent.

Rei, still adjusting his grip on his weapon, hesitated before speaking.

"Yeah, but still… I mean, we don't even know what kind of monsters are lurking here."

Adam didn't respond.

He simply kept walking.

Elara, on the other hand, had no such concerns.

She was already tapping through her interface, activating her livestream once again.

A transparent screen flickered to life in front of her, displaying her channel's status.

A few seconds passed.

Silence... No viewers.

Elara pouted.

"Tch, why does no one want to watch a beauty like me..."

But then, a soft chime echoed in her ears.

A notification popped up.

[A viewer from Green Swamp Universe has entered your livestream.]

 [Frog Eater is observing you.]

Elara's eyes lit up.

"Oho, I've got a viewer!"

She straightened up, quickly putting on her best enthusiastic voice.

"Hello, Mr. Frog Eater! You're just in time, our party is about to go hunting! Get ready for an action-packed adventure!"

She gave a confident smile, adjusting the angle of her recording through the system function.

She didn't know much about this viewer's universe, but judging by the name...

They were probably some kind of weak swamp-dwelling universe...

But in her mind that didn't matter.

A frog? A lizard? A moss-covered insect?

Who cares as long as they watched and made her famous!

Rei glanced at her.

"You're acting like this is some kind of show..."

"It is a show!"

Elara said proudly.

"And if you want people to donate, you need to make it entertaining."

Nathaniel groaned.

"I'm surrounded by lunatics…"

[Frog Eater : Are you newbies going on a hunt? Where's your guide?]

Elara replied with a smile.

"Oh we left him, we're quite adventorous so we're going there without him!"

[Frog Eater has donated 5 coins]

[Frog Eater : A newbie team without a guide going on hunting? Haha, this will definitely be good.]

Elara was a bit confused, however she quickly realized that the viewer was most likely mocking her.

Adam remained silent, his gaze locked on the path ahead. 

Just then, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His sharp gaze swept across the dense forest as he scanned the uneven terrain.

Without a word, he turned to face the others.

"Spread out..."

He ordered, his voice steady, calm yet carrying a certain pressure that made none of them think to argue.

"Look for a cave. It won't be obvious. If it were, someone else would've found it by now."

His three teammates paused as the sudden voice from Adam caught them off guard.

Adam continued, his tone leaving no room for debate.

"Elara, you're our scout. Use [Night Vision] and check for any irregularities in the terrain... gaps in the rocks, unnatural shadows, anything that might be a disguised entrance."

Elara blinked before moving, for some reason Adam's tone of command reminded her a lot of her father who was always so commanding and decisive...

"Got it..."

She activated her ability, her pupils dilating slightly as the darkness around her became clearer.

"Rei."

Adam's eyes shifted to him.

"Use [Stone Fist] to tap the ground in different spots. If you find a section that sounds hollow, let me know immediately."

Rei, despite usually being reckless, simply nodded.

"Understood."

He clenched his fist, the skin hardening into rough stone, and began methodically testing different parts of the forest floor.

Adam turned to him last.

"Nathaniel, Take higher ground and use [Keen Sight] to check for anything that looks off. Look for areas where the trees are thinner or clustered too tightly... anything that might be covering an entrance."

Nathaniel took a sharp breath, then exhaled.

His instincts screamed that he should argue, that they should at least discuss this first.

But the way Adam spoke felt like he'd done this a thousand times before...

It made Nathaniel made him feel like he was being commanded by a military officer like the one he had during his camp training...

"…Alright."

He took position, climbing up a sturdy branch before activating [Keen Sight].

His vision sharpened instantly, allowing him to pick out details from a much greater distance.

Adam watched them work, arms crossed, calculating.

He wasn't just throwing out orders randomly...

He was directing them with precision, playing to their strengths, assigning them roles like a commander leading a trained unit.

It felt natural to him.

After all, he had done this before.

Many times.

Fifteen years inside the Tower of Yxthar as team captain and a commander had burned this knowledge into his bones.

A sudden notification popped up in Elara's livestream.

[Frog Eater is confused]

[Frog Eater: Who is this guy? I thought you guys said you abandoned your guide?]

Elara, still keeping an eye on the chat, huffed.

"Hmph, I'm not lying to you! It was his idea to ditch the guide in the first place."

She turned the angle of the livestream through the system function slightly as showed Adam, who stood at the center of their group, scanning their surroundings like a seasoned commander. 

His posture was calm, controlled, as if he had everything under control.

Nathaniel suddenly called out from above.

"I think I found something."

Adam's head turned toward him.

Without hesitation, he moved.

"Where?"

Nathaniel pointed toward a cluster of thick trees.

"There... between those roots."

"There's a strange gap in the rock. I wouldn't have noticed it without Keen Sight, but the space behind it looks too dark to be natural."

Adam was already moving.

"Good work. Everyone, move in."

The team rushed toward Nathaniel's position.

Adam crouched near the exposed opening, brushing away loose leaves and dirt with his hand.

As Nathaniel had said, it was well-hidden... almost too well.

The entrance blended perfectly with the terrain, looking like nothing more than another tangle of roots and moss-covered stone.

A normal team would've walked right past it.

"Rei, break this part here, but don't overdo it. We need natural light, not a cave-in."

Adam called, pointing to the top left section of the rock.

Rei cracked his knuckles, his right fist hardening into rough stone.

"Got it."

He took a step back before driving his [Stone Fist] into the rock with controlled force.

A loud crack echoed as a portion of the cave's ceiling crumbled away, allowing sunlight to pour into the entrance.

Dust and debris scattered, revealing a deeper tunnel leading further underground.

Adam nodded in satisfaction.

"Good... No need for torches."

Elara grinned as she adjusted her livestream's angle.

"How's the livestream, dear viewer? We're quite good as a team aren't we?"

[Frog Eater: …Are you sure you guys are newbies? I have a feeling I'm being tricked...]

Adam ignored them, already shifting his focus to the next step.

"Elara, scout ahead. Use [Shadow Step] if needed. Don't go too deep, just check if there are signs of movement inside."

Elara smirked, her eyes glinting with excitement.

"On it."

With a faint shimmer, her body flickered and melted into the shadows, slipping into the cave without a sound.

Nathaniel, meanwhile, exchanged a glance with Rei.

He still wasn't sure whether they were doing the right thing, but one thing was becoming increasingly clear...

Adam really was serious about leveling up...
