Solo Dungeon Streamer-I Am Overpowered

560: Anonymous Explorer

What a crazy day it's been.

561: Anonymous Explorer

Man, it's just unfair.

562: Anonymous Explorer

So it's true that EX-rank explorers are just unfair by nature.

563: Anonymous Explorer

No one could've predicted it would be this bad.

564: Anonymous Explorer

Really? (I don't fully understand what happened.)

565: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞564

EX-rank explorers Kamishiro Rion and Kisaragi Tsukasa (UNKNOWN) just casually streamed themselves clearing past the 75th floor, which was the highest reached floor in Shibuya Dungeon, and made it all the way to the 86th floor.

They ended the stream because, apparently, they were "just kind of tired."

566: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞565

That's just pure unfairness wrapped in a package.

567: Anonymous Explorer

Meanwhile, other explorers are risking their lives out there…

568: Anonymous Explorer

Honestly, I was underestimating the EX-ranks.

569: Anonymous Explorer

I'd lose all my confidence watching that.

570: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞569

Just compare yourself to other humans, not monsters. Don't compete with them.

571: Anonymous Explorer

Well, even the magic stones from the upper floors are contributing to infrastructure, so don't feel too bad.

572: Anonymous Explorer

But deep-floor magic stones are way more efficient, so who even needs those upper-floor scraps?

573: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞572

Then you go and explore the deep floors yourself.

574: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞572

Go on, you try it.

575: Anonymous Explorer

Another dungeon newbie who's never been inside, huh?

576: Anonymous Explorer

Dungeon newbies are around all year long.

577: Anonymous Explorer

That's just the downside of dungeon streaming being so popular now.

578: Anonymous Explorer

But, apparently, more young people are aspiring to be explorers because of dungeon streams.

579: Anonymous Explorer

It's probably a plus for the country overall.

580: Anonymous Explorer

We always get guys like 572 popping up on these boards, though.

581: Anonymous Explorer

They've been here since the start.

582: Anonymous Explorer

Whether it's dungeon-related or not, trash will always show up.

Today's profits:

I went to the mid-levels of Shibuya Dungeon, so I made some decent money, but I got injured and had to spend on treatment.

584: Anonymous Explorer

Explorers in general are full of dungeon newbies.

585: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞583

Nice. You still made a solid profit.

586: Anonymous Explorer

Even with some injuries, making +8,000 in a day makes me think pushing into the mid-levels is worth it.

587: Anonymous Explorer

Honestly, if you can make 15,000 without getting hurt in the upper levels, that's pretty good too.

588: Anonymous Explorer

So if you make +8,000 daily, that's +240,000 a month? After factoring in the tax on magic stones, how much do you actually take home?

589: Anonymous Explorer

Probably around 150k after everything.

590: Anonymous Explorer

You still have equipment costs to consider, though.

591: Anonymous Explorer

Considering all that, I guess I need to work a bit harder.

592: Anonymous Explorer

Here's my earnings report:

Solo:

＋70,000

－20,000

593: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞592

That's a lot!

594: Anonymous Explorer

If you're making +50,000 a day, that's 1.5 million a month. You're basically rich.

595: Anonymous Explorer

How did you do it?

596: Anonymous Explorer

I followed the advice Asagao-chan gave during Kisaragi-kun's stream and went to the lower levels.

597: Anonymous Explorer

Whoa.

598: Anonymous Explorer

(Wait, you can just go to the lower levels like that?)

599: Anonymous Explorer

Nice.

600: Anonymous Explorer

(That's honestly really impressive.)

601: Anonymous Explorer

So the stuff they were saying in the stream was actually helpful?

602: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞592

Are you rank C?

603: Anonymous Explorer

Maybe I should push myself more.

604: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞602

Yeah, I just got promoted to C, but I rewatched Kisaragi-kun's stream to memorize the monster behaviors and traits to watch out for. It helped a lot, though I still nearly died.

605: Anonymous Explorer

Rank C? That's elite.

606: Anonymous Explorer

Straight-up impressive.

607: Anonymous Explorer

We need a mid-level exploration guide stream.

608: Anonymous Explorer

Give us tips on what to watch out for in the mid-levels.

609: Anonymous Explorer

Kisaragi-kun's popularity is about to skyrocket again.

610: Anonymous Explorer

I'm going to subscribe to his channel.

611: Anonymous Explorer

I used to be a hater, but I'm a fan now. I need more dungeon info.

612: Anonymous Explorer

Lol, haters getting won over by money.

613: Anonymous Explorer

I mean, you need money to survive.

614: Anonymous Explorer

I hadn't gone to the lower levels since almost dying the last time, but after watching that stream, I thought I could do it, so I pushed through. I avoided the super dangerous monsters and just stuck to ones I could handle. Even though I didn't collect many magic stones, the ones I did get were bought for crazy high prices.

615: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞614

Thanks for the info.

616: Anonymous Explorer

That much of a difference, huh?

617: Anonymous Explorer

Apparently, the energy efficiency of magic stones from the lower levels is totally different.

618: Anonymous Explorer

I think I read something about that in a research paper.

619: Anonymous Explorer

Is the Kisaragi-kun craze about to hit?

620: Anonymous Explorer

Hasn't it already?

621: Anonymous Explorer

It's great that EX-rankers are giving out this kind of information.

622: Anonymous Explorer

Why don't the rank S explorers ever come out like this?

623: Anonymous Explorer

At the end of the day, it's all about hoarding resources.

624: Anonymous Explorer

It's like hardcore gamers who never share their gear setups. Same idea.

625: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞624

That's such a selfish attitude.

626: Anonymous Explorer

Exactly.

627: Anonymous Explorer

On the other hand, why does Kisaragi-kun so freely share all this info?

628: Anonymous Explorer

Because he doesn't care.

629: Anonymous Explorer

He probably doesn't see the value in keeping it secret.

630: Anonymous Explorer

Rank S explorers are so petty.

631: Anonymous Explorer

That's true.

632: Anonymous Explorer

Which is why they never make any real progress.

633: Anonymous Explorer

But it's the same in every country, isn't it?

634: Anonymous Explorer

The more skilled someone is, the less they're interested in helping others. Kisaragi-kun just transcends all of that.

635: Anonymous Explorer

Seriously? I'm unfollowing all the rank S explorers on social media and following Kisaragi-kun instead.

636: Anonymous Explorer

He doesn't post much information on social media, though.

637: Anonymous Explorer

Kisaragi-kun's social media is just a daily life diary.

638: Anonymous Explorer

I'd still want to see that.

639: Anonymous Explorer

Apparently, he's trying to imitate Kamishiro Rion's style.

640: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞639

So he really is like her little brother?

641: Anonymous Explorer

Kisaragi-kun is going to do a "Dungeon Basics" class soon, so make sure to watch.

642: Anonymous Explorer

Wait, are you one of Kisaragi-kun's followers?

643: Anonymous Explorer

Of course (he made me 50k in one day, after all).

644: Anonymous Explorer

Can't argue with that.

645: Anonymous Explorer

If it's making real money, there's nothing to complain about.

646: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞641

Is it free? If I watch that, can I start making 50k a day too?

647: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞646

That's not gonna happen.

648: Anonymous Explorer

If you don't have an explorer license yet, you should go get it now.

649: Anonymous Explorer

We're in the Great Explorer Era.

650: Anonymous Explorer

Kisaragi-kun mentioned a while back that it's one of his EX duties to increase the number of explorers.

651: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞650

Looks like it's working, huh?

652: Anonymous Explorer

So far, it's just people who already had licenses pushing deeper into the dungeon.

653: Anonymous Explorer

That's more than enough progress.

654: Anonymous Explorer

If the people stuck in the upper floors move to the mid-levels, that's a big help for the country.

655: Anonymous Explorer

We'll be exporting more magic stones abroad, so it'll raise everyone's standard of living here too.

656: Anonymous Explorer

If we had 100 Kisaragi-kuns, the country would be swimming in cash, maybe even get tax cuts.

657: Anonymous Explorer

If there were 100 of him, we'd be conquered first.

658: Anonymous Explorer

Not gonna lie, that seems entirely possible.

659: Anonymous Explorer

Too strong, lol.

660: Anonymous Explorer

Now I'm curious about what the other EX-rankers are like.

661: Anonymous Explorer

EX Reiman and the strongest granny?

662: Anonymous Explorer

The name "EX Reiman" alone makes me laugh, stop it.

663: Anonymous Explorer

How much did they earn from that stream, I wonder?

664: Anonymous Explorer

They obliterated every monster they met.

665: Anonymous Explorer

The size of those magic stones was ridiculous too.

666: Anonymous Explorer

The tiny pebble-sized magic stones we get just seem pathetic now.

667: Anonymous Explorer

Seeing fist-sized magic stones had me laughing.

668: Anonymous Explorer

In an hour, I made 70,000 by selectively fighting weaker enemies in the lower floors. Considering how different the deep floors seem compared to the lower floors, I bet they made millions from that stream alone.

669: Anonymous Explorer

Whoa.

670: Anonymous Explorer

That's insane.

671: Anonymous Explorer

Apparently, Kisaragi-kun is always buying expensive stuff.

672: Anonymous Explorer

Living the luxurious life.

673: Anonymous Explorer

Kamishiro Rion also gives off the impression of someone who's into high-end brands.

674: Anonymous Explorer

Kisaragi-kun apparently spends a lot of money just to keep the economy going since he has so much of it.

675: Anonymous Explorer

Man, he's still in high school…

676: Anonymous Explorer

Meanwhile, older men are just hoarding wealth and trying to make more of it.

677: Anonymous Explorer

He's boosting personal consumption rates on his own, lol.

678: Anonymous Explorer

The man single-handedly raising Japan's economic stats.

679: Anonymous Explorer

The only reason Japan's economy is doing well is because of dungeons. We used to rely on imports for food and fuel, but now we're getting everything from dungeons, and despite being such a small country, we have tons of dungeons and four EX-rankers!

680: Anonymous Explorer

Well, Kamishiro Rion's a slacker, though.

681: Anonymous Explorer

She needs to work harder.

682: Anonymous Explorer

Meanwhile, Russia and China don't have many dungeons and are losing to even Australia, making things really complicated for them.

683: Anonymous Explorer

The UN is falling apart too.

684: Anonymous Explorer

I want to go swimming at the 86th floor of Shibuya Dungeon.

685: Anonymous Explorer

China couldn't go to war because they were too scared of Jinguji Kaede. Poor them, really.

686: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞684

But the ocean there attacks you.

687: Anonymous Explorer

Stop trying to play around in the deep floors.

688: Anonymous Explorer

Just go to a normal beach.

689: Anonymous Explorer

I just got my explorer's license! They said I have potential, but I'm pretty sure that's just flattery!

Welcome to heaven.

Which is it?

693: Anonymous Explorer

It's both heaven and hell.

It's definitely a place close to the afterlife.

Always prioritize your life over money. You'll die easily if you don't.

698: Anonymous Explorer

Even if you have money, you won't be able to spend it if you're dead. Make sure your gear is in top shape and listen to advice from veteran explorers.

＞＞698

Thanks for the advice! I'll watch Kisaragi-kun's dungeon basics class first before diving in. My goal is to make 10 million a year!

700: Anonymous Explorer

There are barely any explorers making 10 million a year, you know? Those earnings reports are just daily profit and loss—equipment costs are a separate thing entirely.

701: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞699

It's good to be motivated, but keep in mind that explorers are considered self-employed, so you'll have to do your own taxes.

702: Anonymous Explorer

Transportation to the dungeon can be written off as a business expense, and as long as your gear isn't super custom-made, you can deduct that too. If you get injured, you can probably deduct about half of your potion costs.

That about covers it?

703: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞702

You forgot the explorer tax deductions.

704: Anonymous Explorer

Ask the Association about that.

Doing taxes is a pain when you're an explorer with a side job.

709: Anonymous Explorer

＞＞708

Don't evade your taxes, okay?

710: Anonymous Explorer

There are actually a lot of explorers who accidentally evade taxes. It's usually not intentional, they just don't understand how to do their taxes properly.
