Flashy Adventurer System : Show Off to Get Stronger! - Chapter 513

Chapter 513: An Unexpected Harvest
‘Let’s f*cking go!!’ Shye inwardly celebrated after seeing the notification that popped up in front of him.

Not only was 152,920 points a substantial amount, but it also demonstrated that he could now earn points through television, expanding his earning opportunities.

‘Oops, the show’s not over yet…’

Realizing that the crystal was still recording, Shye knew he couldn’t simply end things that way.

He had to take advantage of this chance to advertise his channel even more!

“As you all just saw, I took down that overgrown worm with a single hit after tormenting its nose and slapping it around. If you keep tuning in to my channel, you’ll not only witness equally entertaining battles but also learn my secrets and the full extent of my abilities as an adventurer.”

“You might even achieve similar feats by doing things the way I did!”

“Join me on my journey to the top of Valenzia! The next broadcast will be in two days at the same time as today’s. I’ll show you something cool, so make sure to tell your friends and family to watch! Well then, I’ll see you guys in the next one!”

*BLEEP!*

“Phew…that was a bit tiring…” Shye muttered as he stretched his limbs, happy as a clam.

He then looked at the corpse of the Venomscale Basilisk with a slight regret.

Nookie could’ve used it as one of its puppets, unfortunately, he had no choice but to sever the head if he wanted to end things quickly.

‘Well, as long as I continue farming points from my broadcasts, then I would one day kill (A) ranked monsters as easy as harvesting wheat. No need to regret this one kill…’

Indeed, he could always harvest (A) ranked monster corpses once he became stronger from the points he earned.

There was no need to fret over this one.

In the future, he would kill a lot more of such creatures.

Deciding to harvest the creature’s corpse instead, Shye knelt down and masterfully butchered away, causing green blood to stain the floor of the basilisk den he was in.

Luckily, although he wasn’t able to kill the serpentine creature with its whole body intact, a pleasant surprise awaited him.

Beneath the creature’s chin was a shiny green and purple scale that immediately captured Shye’s attention.

He tried harvesting it casually, but it wouldn’t separate from the Venomscale Basilisk’s flesh.

‘Appraisal!’

[Name]: Prime Venomscale

[Tier]: Mithril

[Rarity]: Epic

[Description]: An exceptionally rare, incredibly tough scale found in only one out of a thousand Venomscale Basilisks. It is a prime material for crafting Mithril-tier armor sets for warrior-class adventurers.

Hidden Effects:

When used as a crafting material, the armor set will have a 15% chance to activate the hidden skill [Poison Skin] each time it comes into contact with an opponent’s weapon or body part.

“Hoh…what a great crafting material…’ Shye mused as he looked down at the armor set he was wearing.

Although it was a generous gift from Meido, the high-grade earth-enchanted platinum-tier armor set he wore had become outdated as, despite its extreme toughness, its defensive capabilities were no longer sufficient to protect him from the attacks of (A-) and (A) ranked monstrous creatures.

It would simply be too dangerous to keep using it.

Hence, the Prime Venomscale was truly a timely blessing for him—one that he truly needed.

‘Guess I need to pay Meido another visit soon…’

Not before his next broadcast, though, as it was scheduled two days from now.

To grow his channel’s viewership, he needed to be punctual with his broadcasts, otherwise, his audience would surely lose interest.

After butchering the rest of the basilisk’s body, Shye left the adventurer zone and teleported back to his house in Valenzia City using [Recall].

‘Sure is a convenient skill!’ He mused, quickly exiting his house and heading towards another adventurer zone where he left Nookie to see how the little imp was doing.

After traveling for around four hours, he arrived at the area where he recently left the little necrollin.

However, realizing that there was no one in the area, Shye frowned.

‘Hoh? Did that little imp actually have the guts to escape?’

He truly could detonate the black seal with a snap of his fingers.

Therefore, he opted to scout the area first, wary of accidentally detonating it only to find out later that Nookie was nearby all along.

“M-M-Master! Nookie greets master!”

It proved to be the right decision, as moments later, an anxious little imp materialized out of nowhere, apparently returning as soon as it sensed his presence.

Soon after, Shye heard loud rumbles.

It was Nookie’s corpse army.

Currently, there were around thirty-one corpses of various (B-) ranked to (A) ranked monstrous creatures.

‘Hoh, if I recall correctly, I only left him around twenty-five corpses to play with before I left for the inauguration ceremony…’ He pondered as he gazed at Nookie with satisfaction.

It appeared that the little creature was so eager to improve its puppeteering skills that it risked its life hunting monstrous creatures to add to its growing army.

“Hoh, so you can control thirty-one corpses now, Nookie?”

“Yes, master. Nookie apologizes for leaving without consent. Nookie wants more corpses to practice with.” The little imp replied, offering Shye a sincere bow.

Upon hearing the necrollin puppeteer’s words and observing its sincere actions, Shye felt reassured that taming Nookie had been a wise choice, especially now that he understood the old man’s ultimate goal.

A corpse army controlled by a master puppeteer would undoubtedly be a significant asset not only to him but also to Verden Zachrana.

After giving the little necrollin a few more monstrous creature corpses to practice with, which he had hunted along the way, Shye returned to Valenzia City to rest for a bit before making preparations for his second broadcast, which was honestly a risky one.

If the scenario he imagined didn’t unfold, his viewers who had eagerly awaited his second broadcast might be quite disappointed.

However, it was necessary to mix things up and decisively take calculated risks, as not doing so would also result in lesser viewership.

‘It’s a legendary-grade one…it shouldn’t fail me…’
