Multiversal Livestreaming System : I Can Copy My Viewers Skills-Chapter 30: Team Criticism

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

Morning light bathed the town in soft gold as Adam walked through the quiet streets.

His muscles still ached from the previous night's battle, but fatigue no longer weighed him down.

The enhanced blood flow in his body kept his strength steady, and his mind was sharp.

His destination was the town's west gate, where he intended to gather his team.

The air was crisp, and a faint breeze stirred dust along the cobbled streets.

Adam assumed he'd be the first to arrive, but as he turned the corner, he stopped in surprise.

Nathaniel, Elara, and Rei were already waiting by the gate, leaning casually against the wooden fence.

Their packs were secured, weapons sheathed, and expressions calm as if they have only been waiting for him to arrive.

Seeing his team members, Adam suddenly had a thought.

'Aren't these guys geniuses? How come I don't know who these guys are in my past life?'

From what he remembered, he'd never seen these three rise to prominence....

Nathaniel's talent was undeniable, he was a skilled shooter with sharp instincts.

Elara's combat style had always been highly impressive...

And Rei... well, the fact that Isaac Callum, a known rising star, even had a brother had been news to him when they first met.

Yet in his previous timeline, these three had never been remembered as key players.

'All their evaluations are high... they should've climbed to a decent floor in the Tower of Yxthar with good achievements...'

Adam thought.

'And yet... how come I never knew of them before?'

His thoughts drifted back to the ambush yesterday— the one he'd narrowly prevented.

'Could it be... that the same ambush happened in my past life too? If I wasn't there to stop it... did they die back then?'

The grim possibility tightened his chest.

If they had been captured and sent to the 10th floor... then their endings were quite obvious...

Then that means they truly had died there in his past life...

Adam's face darkened as he clenched his fist.

Nathaniel, noticing Adam approaching, instinctively raised a hand to wave.

But when he caught sight of Adam's cold, grim expression, his fingers froze mid-air.

His smile faltered, and he awkwardly lowered his hand back down.

"Morning..."

Nathaniel muttered, forcing an uneasy smile.

Elara, however, didn't seem fazed.

She waved with both hands, smiling brightly.

"Good morning, Captain!"

She called out cheerfully.

Her voice broke the tension like a hammer striking glass, and Nathaniel relaxed slightly, relieved that someone else had filled the silence.

Adam's grim thoughts faded as he focused on Elara's carefree greeting.

He managed a faint smile, nodding in response.

"Morning."

Adam replied, his voice low but steady.

Rei stepped forward next, his expression sharp and inquisitive.

"We thought you overslept..."

He said with a slight grin.

"Don't tell me you were already out hunting without us."

Adam paused.

If he could train these three before he advanced to the second floor... it would be good for humanity to have more skilled fighters.

These three had potential... a lot of it.

Although, it seems that in his past life, they'd likely been killed before they could ever prove themselves...

"Yeah."

Adam admitted with a shrug.

"Had some things to take care of."

Elara butted in, slinging her pack over her shoulder.

"Ah?! What level are you now captain?!"

"Take a guess."

Adam replied, he said expressionlessly.

"Anyway... let's move. We've got a long day ahead."

...

The morning sun had climbed high by the time Adam regrouped with his team.

They spent little time on greetings and immediately set out toward the forest's edge, determined to make progress.

"Alright, let's make today productive..."

Adam said as they entered the hunting grounds.

The air smelled damp, and faint growls echoed from deeper in the woods.

Goblin corpses from Adam's earlier hunt still littered parts of the path.

They pressed on, and soon enough, a pack of lesser orcs came into view, five of them.

Crude axes in hand and thick muscles rippling beneath their ragged armor.

"Same plan as before."

Adam ordered.

"Elara, you're on scouting. Nathaniel, find a vantage point. Rei, stay with me... we'll hold the front."

"Got it."

Elara whispered, her form flickering as she activated [Shadow Step], vanishing into the undergrowth.

Nathaniel climbed a nearby boulder, bow already drawn, while Rei shifted into a combat stance, his fists clenching tightly as faint stone-like patterns crawled across his knuckles— the effect of his [Stone Fist] ability.

The fight began.

Elara struck first, emerging from the shadows behind an orc and slashing her dagger across its hamstring.

The creature staggered with a roar, and before it could recover, Nathaniel's arrow whistled through the air and struck it clean through the eye.

It dropped instantly.

"Nice shot!"

Rei called, rushing forward.

His stone-coated fists slammed into an orc's ribs, cracking bone with a sickening crunch.

Adam moved in beside him, his dagger flashing as he cut another down.

Blood sprayed across the dirt, and the remaining orcs turned to flee...

Only to be cut down by a combination of Nathaniel's precise arrows and Elara's swift strikes.

[+45 Exp, +0.02 Basic Soul Core.]

[+0.5 Gold]

[+45 Exp, +0.02 Basic Soul Core.]

[+0.5 Gold]

[+45 Exp, +0.02 Basic Soul Core.]

[+0.5 Gold]

[Level 9 → Level 10]

[Magic Power have been slightly improved]

The team continued hunting through the day, taking down orc after orc.

'My leveling progress is getting slow...'

Adam thought.

By the time the sun had begun to dip below the horizon, they had collected enough cores to mark a productive outing.

As they rested in a clearing, Adam wiped the sweat from his brow and turned to his team.

"You're all strong..."

He began.

"But there's still room for improvement."

Nathaniel glanced up, raising a brow.

"What do you mean?"

Adam gestured toward Elara.

"Your [Shadow Step] is great, but your dagger doesn't hit hard enough. I recommend saving for the [Venomfang Dagger] in the system shop. It applies poison with every cut, which will boost your kills significantly."

Elara's eyes lit up.

"I've heard of that one. It's pricey though."

"That's why you should keep your livestream on."

Adam added.

"Viewers donate more when they see you winning fights, and they'll pay even more if you entertain them."

Nathaniel asked in doubt.

"So you're suggesting we start putting on a show?"

"More or less."

Adam said.

"Nathaniel, you should save for [Mana Flow Armband]. It'll boost your mana regeneration. Your [Wind Arrow] eats too much energy right now... you'll burn out fast during longer fights."

Nathaniel nodded as he glanced towards the system shop to see its price.

500 gold...

His eyes twitched as he glanced towards the 25 gold sitting on his inventory...

"What about me?"

Rei asked in curiosity.

"Your strength is good, but you're not tough enough to take multiple hits yet. The [Ironhide Pendant] is perfect for you. It boosts your constitution, making you tankier. It'll let you stay in the fight longer without relying on me to patch you up."

"More defense? Sounds boring..."

Rei muttered, though he was clearly considering it.

"Trust me."

Adam said firmly.

"It's better to survive longer and keep fighting than to go all-out and collapse halfway through."

"And remember."

Adam added.

"Your livestreams are key. The more viewers we gather, the faster we'll earn system currency. Donations, gifts... it all adds up. Even if we aren't sponsored yet, building an audience now will pay off later."

"Hm, I guess it is time to start gaining viewers..."

Elara muttered.

"Don't worry about it too much."

Adam said with a faint smile.

"Just show them what you're good at... the rest comes naturally."

As the evening drew closer, they began their trek back to town.

The day's progress had left their clothes stained with dirt and blood, but their spirits were high.

Each member seemed a little more confident in themselves.

Of course, that was thanks to Adam's positive criticisms in their battles.

Adam glanced back at the path behind them.

Lesser orc corpses dotted the trail which served as proof of their steady improvement.

'They'll need this growth...'

Adam thought.

'Because things are only going to get harder from here.'
