1. This world is filled with
too many games to count,Copy !req
2. though the vast majority simply
come and go in obscurity.Copy !req
3. The greatest of all gamesCopy !req
4. is the fully immersive VR game boasting
over 30 million players worldwide—Copy !req
5. Shangri-La Frontier, which rightly
earns the title of "god-tier game"!Copy !req
6. One lover of trash games, Rakuro Hizutome,Copy !req
7. is trying out the god-tier
game, Shangri-La Frontier!Copy !req
8. What adventures await him there?Copy !req
9. Okay, let's get climbing!Copy !req
10. RARE ITEMS, WORTH MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF
- Wait for me, Crystal Scorpions!Copy !req
11. RARE ITEMS, WORTH MORE THAN LIFE ITSELFCopy !req
12. First, I'll use Moon Jumper to
boost my vertical jumping power.Copy !req
13. MOON JUMPERCopy !req
14. Then... Six-Boat Leap!Copy !req
15. Over-level-100 monsters,
the Crystal Scorpions...Copy !req
16. I gotta find out what they are!Copy !req
17. It'd be pretty rude not to
say hi while I'm in the area!Copy !req
18. What, you expect me to find out about an
unexplored area filled with unknown monstersCopy !req
19. and just forget about it?Copy !req
20. What's the point of playing games
if you can't go buck wild?Copy !req
21. Hey, would you look at that?Copy !req
22. It's way more fantastical
than the area down below...Copy !req
23. CRYSTAL NEST CLIFFCopy !req
24. Really hard to make progress...Copy !req
25. The footing's just terrible.Copy !req
26. Okay, let's find those Crystal
Scorpions I've heard so much a—Copy !req
27. So they're the type to camouflage
into the field, huh?Copy !req
28. You're the one I'm here
to see, Crystal Scorpion!Copy !req
29. CRYSTAL SCORPIONCopy !req
30. Too damn close!Copy !req
31. This thing's like a runaway train!Copy !req
32. Guess it utilizes the
field's awful footingCopy !req
33. to drive the players into a dead end, huh?Copy !req
34. Well, what's the matter?Copy !req
35. Is a straight-up charge
the only trick you know?Copy !req
36. My first time around,
I'm just here to say hi.Copy !req
37. I don't expect to beat the
thing in my current state.Copy !req
38. Scout out the area, take back
any rare materials I find—Copy !req
39. That's my mission today!Copy !req
40. If I can do that, I'll take it as a win...Copy !req
41. Huh?Copy !req
42. CRYSTAL SCORPIONSCopy !req
43. They're a bunch of tough
nuts not even I could crack.Copy !req
44. Crystal Scorpions attack as a swarm,Copy !req
45. so if one sees you, you're dead.Copy !req
46. Yeah...Copy !req
47. Okay, I'm dead.Copy !req
48. I wonder when Sunraku-san
might finally return...Copy !req
49. Oh, what if he's unable
to return to Rabituza?Copy !req
50. Perhaps I should have waited for
him in Eighthold after all?Copy !req
51. Perhaps I should have
waited for him in Eighthold after all?Copy !req
52. RABITUZA
- Freaking damn it!Copy !req
53. Freaking damn it!Copy !req
54. That's too many of those
stupid scorpion jerks!Copy !req
55. Hey, Emul!Copy !req
56. Can I get a gate back to Eighthold?Copy !req
57. Sunraku-san...Copy !req
58. You have been fighting the
Crystal Scorpions, haven't you?Copy !req
59. Ah, crud.Copy !req
60. We told you the
Crystal Scorpions were dangerous!Copy !req
61. Man, this sucks.Copy !req
62. What did you just say?Copy !req
63. Here you are! The carrot I promised you!Copy !req
64. Hooray!Copy !req
65. Truly delicious!Copy !req
66. You're so predictable, it's kind of scary.Copy !req
67. Okay, I'm gonna give it another go.Copy !req
68. Really, must you go?Copy !req
69. I can't hang it up until
I get something out of it.Copy !req
70. And this won't be my first visit.Copy !req
71. I won't die empty-handed.Copy !req
72. Okay... let's move slow and keep hidden.Copy !req
73. I noticed a pretty
interesting spot last time.Copy !req
74. Hey, there it is.Copy !req
75. I got a glimpse at it
just before they got me.Copy !req
76. A shiny li'l number that's
just begging for my pickax.Copy !req
77. I bet it gives up items
unique to this area!Copy !req
78. Damn it! I'm not giving up!Copy !req
79. OVERHEAT / CLIMAX BOOST / NITRO GAINCopy !req
80. I'm gonna get me some
loot, no matter what!Copy !req
81. That one went by fast.Copy !req
82. It's no use.Copy !req
83. They're so big, and so fast...Copy !req
84. And they overwhelm you with numbers in an
area that's already hard to maneuver in.Copy !req
85. How am I supposed to survive that?Copy !req
86. It's just as we told you, yes!Copy !req
87. Yeah... but I also told
you something, Emul.Copy !req
88. I won't die empty-handed.Copy !req
89. Let's have a look.Copy !req
90. Let's have a look!Copy !req
91. "Aroncaleth Hard Lapis"Copy !req
92. "Produced via repeated compression andCopy !req
93. refinement through ingestion
by geophagic monsters,Copy !req
94. this crystal possesses an
extremely dense magic content.Copy !req
95. Its beautiful blue color
recalls the land itself."Copy !req
96. I dunno what I'd use it for,Copy !req
97. but it's gotta be worth more
than what I spent to get it.Copy !req
98. I'm gonna check the game guide site later!Copy !req
99. Are you satisfied now?Copy !req
100. Maybe.Copy !req
101. I hate to give up here, but I should
probably take a break for the day.Copy !req
102. Yes, you should have a nice sleep!Copy !req
103. The Crystal Scorpions...Copy !req
104. The slightest vibration on the
crystals gets them swarming you.Copy !req
105. Though the AI's not particularly clever...Copy !req
106. Go to sleep, go to sleep,Copy !req
107. - beneath your bunny's ears...
- They just charge at me mindlessly, so...Copy !req
108. beneath your bunny's ears...Copy !req
109. When they collided, they tore
off each other's carapace...Copy !req
110. Hang on a freaking minute here!Copy !req
111. Could I get the torn-off
carapace bits as an item?Copy !req
112. Man, I wanna find out!Copy !req
113. Now that I got the idea, I wanna find out!Copy !req
114. Emul, open the gate!Copy !req
115. I'm going back!Copy !req
116. What? You still haven't given up?Copy !req
117. They're just going to kill you again!Copy !req
118. I WANT MATERIALS - As long as there's
unknowns out there, a pioneer must neverCopy !req
119. fear death!Copy !req
120. I WANT MATERIALS
- You're clearly fueled by greed.Copy !req
121. But... even if I could pick it up,
how would I go about doing it?Copy !req
122. It was pretty much luck that
let me recover that mineral...Copy !req
123. Honestly.Copy !req
124. The mana used to open gates
isn't free, you know!Copy !req
125. That's it!Copy !req
126. You just gave me a great idea, Emul!Copy !req
127. That'll work just fine!Copy !req
128. Wh-What are you going to do?Copy !req
129. Just you wait!Copy !req
130. I'm gonna take that Crystal ScorpionCopy !req
131. minefield swarming with
level-100-plus monsters...Copy !req
132. and turn it into a walk in the park!Copy !req
133. Please put me down now!Copy !req
134. What's wrong, buddy? I'm right here!Copy !req
135. So scary!Copy !req
136. Oh, gosh, I'm surrounded!Copy !req
137. What do I do? I'm in so much trouble!Copy !req
138. Just kidding.Copy !req
139. SIX-BOAT LEAP
- Six-Boat Leap!Copy !req
140. Six-Boat Leap!Copy !req
141. Okay, great!Copy !req
142. Carapace breakage confirmed!Copy !req
143. You wanna run me through
the scorpion blender, huh?Copy !req
144. Part of me would like to find
out what that feels like,Copy !req
145. but it might be kinda traumatic,
so I'll pass this time.Copy !req
146. ENTER TRAVEL
- Enter Travel!Copy !req
147. ENTER TRAVELCopy !req
148. Three cheers for civilization! Inventoria!Copy !req
149. Three cheers
for civilization! Inventoria!Copy !req
150. INVENTORIA
- Technology always gets the last laugh!Copy !req
151. Technology always gets the last laugh!Copy !req
152. I got the idea from
watching Emul use that item.Copy !req
153. I can move myself instantly to the
Inventoria, like I'd transmit an item or a weapon.Copy !req
154. That means I can create myself
a safe space wherever I need it!Copy !req
155. This Inventoria thing is seriously
OP if you use it right!Copy !req
156. Now... guess it's time to head back.Copy !req
157. EXIT TRAVEL

161. CRYSTAL PINCERCopy !req
162. CRYSTAL TALONCopy !req
163. Hell yeah!Copy !req
164. Just like I thought,
the Crystal Scorpions cleared out!Copy !req
165. Time to loot all the spoils!Copy !req
166. Materials from monsters that
tough have gotta be pretty rare!Copy !req
167. Bet you Bilac could make
something awesome out of them!Copy !req
168. I'm so awesome! I'm a genius!Copy !req
169. I'm gonna make materials
out of every one of you!Copy !req
170. Come at me in the tens or the hundreds!Copy !req
171. Just you wait, Bilac!
I'm gonna have a huge collection for you!Copy !req
172. Players have a hard limit
on inventory capacity.Copy !req
173. - Players have a hard limit on inventory
capacity. - Heave-ho! Heave-ho!Copy !req
174. - Heave-ho! Heave-ho! - If you carry too
much, it gets too heavy, and slows you down.Copy !req
175. But...Copy !req
176. The Inventoria lets you
store unlimited objects with no penalty at all!Copy !req
177. - The Inventoria lets you store unlimited
objects with no penalty at all! - Yay!Copy !req
178. Yay! Unlimited!Copy !req
179. Yay! Yay! Unlimited!Copy !req
180. INVENTORIA KEY
- So if you use it just right...Copy !req
181. I can get unlimited materials from
the over-level-100 Crystal Scorpions!Copy !req
182. You rock, Inventoria!Copy !req
183. I just hide out in the Inventoria until
the Crystal Scorpions' aggro dies down...Copy !req
184. Then I return to the real world when the
heat's off, and would you look at that?Copy !req
185. The Crystal Scorpions are gone,
back to hiding in the scenery,Copy !req
186. CRYSTAL LEG - and the ground
is littered with items generated fromCopy !req
187. their infighting!Copy !req
188. CRYSTAL SCORPION'S CARAPACE
- and the ground is littered with itemsCopy !req
189. generated from their infighting!Copy !req
190. CRYSTAL PINCER - and the
ground is littered with items generatedCopy !req
191. from their infighting!Copy !req
192. CRYSTAL TALON - and the
ground is littered with items generatedCopy !req
193. from their infighting!Copy !req
194. Figuring out these little tricks
is what I love about gaming!Copy !req
195. I'm gonna get so many valuable materials!Copy !req
196. Although...Copy !req
197. SUNRAKU
- Looks like I'm pretty low on MP.Copy !req
198. SUNRAKU - I'm down to my
last use of the Inventoria.Copy !req
199. But I still got tons of sweet item drops!Copy !req
200. I'll do one last run, then head back.Copy !req
201. Still, there's something so satisfying
just looking through rare items...Copy !req
202. Eh? What's this?Copy !req
203. Wait a minute!Copy !req
204. I still don't have a stinger?Copy !req
205. You can't fight a scorpion and
not get a stinger, can you?Copy !req
206. It's kind of the most defining feature!Copy !req
207. Maybe the stinger's too sturdy to
tear off just from basic infighting?Copy !req
208. Seems pretty plausible, which means...Copy !req
209. The Crystal Scorpion's stinger
could be the rare drop!Copy !req
210. Okay, I get it.Copy !req
211. I definitely wanna get me one of those.Copy !req
212. But...Copy !req
213. In order to get that rare drop,Copy !req
214. I'm gonna have to face a horde
of level-100-plus monsters,Copy !req
215. in a place with awful footing,
and pinpoint target the stinger.Copy !req
216. And the part I'm after is so super-tough
that normal attacks won't break it off.Copy !req
217. C'mon, guys.Copy !req
218. This is some trash
game-tier stuff, y'know?Copy !req
219. But that's what's gonna make it fun!Copy !req
220. Let's get it done!Copy !req
221. I'm gonna tear off your precious
stinger, no matter what it takes!Copy !req
222. On my honor as a trash gamer!Copy !req
223. OVERHEAT / CLIMAX BOOST / NITRO GAINCopy !req
224. Even with my buff stack, it's a no-go?Copy !req
225. Figures it'd be that tough!Copy !req
226. Didn't even leave a crack!Copy !req
227. I had a feeling I might
need some help on this.Copy !req
228. I'll have to get their attacks
to focus on a single stinger!Copy !req
229. I can't fully control my enemies' attacks.Copy !req
230. Getting the best possible pull out
of the random number generator...Copy !req
231. That's what being a gamer is about!Copy !req
232. Dodge the stingers' attacks.Copy !req
233. Land.Copy !req
234. Stay to the very last second to
lure the other scorpions' attack...Copy !req
235. Yes, that could do it!Copy !req
236. I only get one chance at this.Copy !req
237. Enter Travel!Copy !req
238. Then right back to reality!Copy !req
239. Perfect placement!Copy !req
240. You rock, Goddess of RNG!Copy !req
241. OVERHEAT / CLIMAX BOOST / NITRO GAIN

242. OVERHEAT / CLIMAX BOOST / NITRO GAINCopy !req
243. GLOWING PIERCE
- Glowing Pierce!Copy !req
244. Just break already!Copy !req
245. Yeah! How you like that?Copy !req
246. That's what I can do when
I put my mind to it!Copy !req
247. Got me a rare drop!Copy !req
248. The second I claim it,Copy !req
249. even if I'm insta-killed,
I'll still get to keep the...Copy !req
250. Hey. Hang on.Copy !req
251. Huh?Copy !req
252. I'm not as close as I thought I was.Copy !req
253. Huh? You're kidding me, right?Copy !req
254. I almost had it.Copy !req
255. If my trajectory had been
just a little different,Copy !req
256. I could've had it.Copy !req
257. Hey, you listening? Goddess of RNG?Copy !req
258. Why you gotta be so cruel?Copy !req
259. A-Are you all right, Sunraku-san?Copy !req
260. You haven't moved this whole time,
and you seem to be trembling...Copy !req
261. Yeah...Copy !req
262. I can break off the scorpion's stinger,
and it's possible to retrieve it.Copy !req
263. I know that now, so...
I guess that's enough.Copy !req
264. It's enough. Yeah, it is.Copy !req
265. Like hell it is!Copy !req
266. It doesn't mean jack if
I don't get the thing!Copy !req
267. Screw you,
Goddess of RNG! You totally suck!Copy !req
268. Missing it when
you almost had it is the biggestCopy !req
269. psychological blow you can take!Copy !req
270. And despite getting stuck
in the scorpion blender,Copy !req
271. why didn't it tear up
the Staring Bird Mask?Copy !req
272. Was it a miracle? Why is that
where I pull the miracle RNG?Copy !req
273. It actually kinda makes me more pissed!Copy !req
274. Sunraku-san has grown rather unstable.Copy !req
275. That pissed me off way too much.Copy !req
276. I don't wanna look at any
more scorpions for a while.Copy !req
277. There's only one way to
bounce back from this.Copy !req
278. Wh-What is is?Copy !req
279. I'm gonna brag to Bilac
about the materials I gotCopy !req
280. and bathe in her praise!Copy !req
281. I just know she'll appreciate how
valuable these materials are!Copy !req
282. Time is money! Let's go, Emul!Copy !req
283. R-Righty-o...Copy !req
284. Nothing beats the moment when you brag
to someone about your accomplishments!Copy !req
285. That's rather perverse thinking!Copy !req
286. Sorry, but I take that as a compliment!Copy !req

295. What now? Still wasting your time on that?Copy !req
296. There could be a glitch that gives aCopy !req
297. fraction-of-a-percent chance of breaking
through Lycagon's curse to put on armor.Copy !req
298. Well, dreaming is free.Copy !req
299. Everything past that will cost you.Copy !req
300. So stingy!Copy !req
301. Speaking of, quite a few people
have fought Lycagon, right?Copy !req
302. It's just that no one's beaten it.Copy !req
303. Yeah, that's true.Copy !req
304. Momo-cha—Copy !req
305. Someone I know is pretty
passionate about it.Copy !req
306. But they haven't beaten it?Copy !req
307. Just don't mention that her.Copy !req
308. I have, of course.Copy !req
309. You...Copy !req
310. So, just for my edification,
how did this person fight it?Copy !req
311. Well, from what I've heard,Copy !req
312. they came at it with a V formation,Copy !req
313. but it got behind them and blew
them away like bowling pins.Copy !req
314. Then they tried the Dynamite
Bone-in Muscle Burst.Copy !req
315. Momo-chan said that one
went pretty well, I think.Copy !req
316. The what?Copy !req
317. Oh, would you look at the time?Copy !req
318. Sorry, I've got an early
morning. Better log out.Copy !req
319. Hey! Wait a minute!Copy !req
320. You can't just not explain that one!Copy !req
321. Dynamite Bone-in Muscle Burst?Copy !req
322. Dynamite Bone-in Muscle Burst?Copy !req
323. Dynamite Bone-in Muscle Burst?Copy !req
324. S-Sunraku-san, what are you doing?Copy !req
325. Bone-in meat and a muscle burst!Copy !req
326. Bone-in meat and a muscle burst?Copy !req
327. So I just need the dynamite.Copy !req
328. An explosion.Copy !req
329. That's where you come in, Emul.Copy !req
330. Wh-What are you going to get me to do?Copy !req
331. Explosion? Are you going to explode me?Copy !req
332. You're going to become the dynamite!Copy !req
333. No!Copy !req
