Oh man, not only did Gamer update, but Hero Union BBS updated yesterday too, and it's one of the best chapters yet. Anyone reading both should check it out!

I was thinking the entire time that there's no better sign you should go in a dungeon if an NPC explicitly warns you not to do it, and what do you know.

Is there an indication of how much time has passed since he got his powers? 75 grand is a pretty tidy sum if it's only been a couple weeks/months. And that's not even counting what he's blown on magic books and stuff.

Do they have an IRS equivalent in Korea because he's going to get audited super hard with a deposit record like that.

It's been like 3 months iirc. He mentioned it recently but I can't find where.

One of the earlier chapters, they gloss over this and how basically they do "creative accounting" so that even super large sums can be glossed over; creating a company is one way of dealing with it, having the Abyss deal with it is another iirc.

My guess is that it's an abyss account. They also talked early in the series about money laundering.

It's not like he's using those health potions. He's making the classic gamer mistake of item hording.

It's not a mistake, you just never know when you'll really need those consumables. This boss may be hard, but the next one could be so much harder!

Doesn't she turn life energy into magical power? If health potions count, then she gets to use them as both heals and nukes.

Hey, this boss is made up entirely of black ichor, has armor made of souls and has screaming heads belting out the chorus tied to its belt. Everything is on fire or exploding and all of my allies are injured, dead or have betrayed me. I'm also at 1/4 health and my mp is almost gone.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. If it works that way Loli-Nuna could totally become his best customer, if she doesn't drown in potions by mooching off of him.

A 50% cut isn't even too bad for the virtual guarantee that you'll get through an unknown thought-stealing dungeon that's probably a trap unscathed. I mean, it'll suck if he gets to the end and is able to beat the last boss without too much difficulty with no trap sprung, but if there were a high-level trap he'd probably be screwed without her. Hopefully she's not too lazy to throw in some advice on his battle tactics along the way.

What if he accidentally spawns the last boss as an insane god of MMORPG's?

What I think would be better is if he died, but spent so much time in there that the universe respawned him as the new gamer god with godlike powers. These new powers are the same as the old powers he had before which displays how broken his power set was.

Cue existential crisis as he is now the new god of this place and has to confront the fact that he is not the same person, but retains the memories and relationship of the dead person. No one notices.

So I guess the slime mucus is just like, a super high-grade skin lotion? I guess Jee-Han is lucky that she picked that boss drop and not something more valuable.

Loli-Nuna has the right idea though, create a level 100+ dungeon, cruise through it at high speed with her help, and farm up billions everyday. You wouldn't even have to worry about that thought stealing mojo that the DLC dungeons have, since he'd be the one making it himself.

Jee-Han really needs to get at parity in level with his bud so they can share EXP.

Since any party members that gain levels while under the influence of his powers get stat points on level up he can basically turn other abyss dwellers into demi-gods.

The exp per level might ramp up like crazy eventually. So, grinding may have limits. However, what about skill proficiency? Other people probably can't gain new skills once they get a high enough rank of an old one, but they might be able to gain skill levels which wouldn't otherwise exist.

I assumed it was a cosmetic item like a teamfortress hat.

I think where this is going is that jee-han will be creating the dungeons for other people to run and get items/levels and he takes a cut. Unless workshop owner meant that its just him doing it himself for others.

E: especially since he just mentioned people who are unemployed and witch lady said abyss is the same way
