Bulletin Board 6: Around Chapter 32

Thread: Feel free to discuss John Doe's streams and archives freely

1: Nameless Explorer

This is a thread where you can freely discuss John Doe's channel, streams, and archives that were suddenly made public.

Threads where you can delve deeper into each topic are over here

【URL】【Breaking News】Beyond the dungeon is a complete fantasy world【World Tree Discovered】

【URL】【Sad News】The world beyond the dungeon is too fast for humanity, causing a stir【Dragons exist】

Feel free to chat casually here

3: Nameless Explorer

Good job making the thread

5: Nameless Explorer

Good job making the thread Man, it was all just shocking images one after another n

8: Nameless Explorer

The World Tree, was it? That giant tree, it's properly fantasy, I'd like to go there

10: Nameless Explorer

It felt like you could explore quite freely inside

11: Nameless Explorer

From what I could see from the outside, there seemed to be wide spaces facing outward too, so you could probably make something like a village inside

12: Nameless Explorer

At the point where there are so many insect monsters, it's tough for me

15: Nameless Explorer

Insect-type monsters, huh. There are some in the dungeon too, but people who can't handle them really can't handle them

17: Nameless Explorer

There's no way that gross insect becoming gigantic is acceptable, right!?

18: Nameless Explorer

I'm actually on the side that became okay with it when they got bigger, though

19: Nameless Explorer

>>18 Does that really happen?

21: Nameless Explorer

Animal-type monsters were mostly cute or cool, though

22: Nameless Explorer

>>19 Once they got bigger, I came to see them as monsters rather than insects

25: Nameless Explorer

Among the big-type monsters, weren't there ones with fur but also scales?

28: Nameless Explorer

The huge weasel-like thing we encountered first? Or something like that.

What was that, I wonder

31: Nameless Explorer

The biology community is extremely excited, you know

Like, is it a mammal or a reptile!

34: Nameless Explorer

A platypus, maybe

36: Nameless Explorer

>>34 It suddenly became lame, lol

38: Nameless Explorer

But really, I don't get how monsters are treated ethnologically, do I?

39: Nameless Explorer

With dungeon monsters, except for the parts you secure, they revert to magical energy, so

42: Nameless Explorer

The fact that only usable parts drop is seriously just like a game

45: Nameless Explorer

>>42 If you wanted to, you could bring back unusable parts too

46: Nameless Explorer

Well, in reality, no one does that since it doesn't make money, though

49: Nameless Explorer

But isn't research on monsters being done, actually?

52: Nameless Explorer

Isn't it? I don't know the details, though

55: Nameless Explorer

>>49 >>52 It is.

They research after asking explorers to bring back the entire monster body.

But basically, the size is completely different, but they're apparently almost the same as surface creatures

56: Nameless Explorer

There's no organ for storing magical energy, like?

57: Nameless Explorer

I might be reading too many manga, but it seems like something where people get monster parts transplanted will come up soon

59: Nameless Explorer

Basically, that kind of thing is strictly prohibited by law.

Because we have no idea what might happen

60: Nameless Explorer

In the early days of exploration, laws were properly enacted that even prohibited using potions.

It is, after all, a suspicious medicine of unknown origin.

62: Nameless Explorer

>>57 Rather than that, human experimentation itself is illegal

64: Nameless Explorer

>>56 Apparently, monsters are divided into those that seem to have such organs and those that don't

65: Nameless Explorer

>>64 >>56 To supplement that, monsters that use magic frequently seem to have organs—or rather, organs that govern it.

But monsters that don't really use magic much don't have these.

And from here it's still just a hypothesis, but the organs related to monsters' magical energy might serve the role of a wand for humans.

And the magical energy itself, since humans don't have organs to store it but can use magic, might be something that accumulates in cells or blood,

that's the hypothesis there is.

66: Nameless Explorer

Whoa-

68: Nameless Explorer

Cells and blood, huh. That might indeed be possible, I suppose

69: Nameless Explorer

Indeed, humans don't have organs for storing magical energy, but they can use magic.

Magical energy itself feels like it accumulates in the human body, doesn't it

70: Nameless Explorer

We're getting off topic, but I want to get back, don't you actually want to try making a village or something at the World Tree?

71: Nameless Explorer

Once magical energy leaves the labyrinth, it mostly dissipates, so there's no way to study it

73: Nameless Explorer

>>70 I'd normally like to make one, so what of it?

76: Nameless Explorer

That survival life in nature that John Doe was talking about, I seriously yearn for it

77: Nameless Explorer

To think the time would come when the Monster Hunter world becomes real

79: Nameless Explorer

Really, in terms of lifestyle, it seems close to Monster Hunter. Though there is magic

82: Nameless Explorer

Rather than the World Tree and all, I'm more interested in that insane technique of magical energy control?

Isn't there anyone who finds this interesting?

83: Nameless Explorer

Normally I'm interested?

But even if I'm interested, there's nothing I can do unless I try it myself

85: Nameless Explorer

Actually, even though so many threads have been made, it's already being researched

87: Nameless Explorer

But this is a hopeful story, or rather, doesn't it finally feel like it's becoming properly fantasy-like?

90: Nameless Explorer

>>87 The dungeon was fantasy from the start, regularly

93: Nameless Explorer

No, that's true, but I'm just a swordsman with the 【Swordsman】 skill, so when it comes to fighting monsters, I just end up using my sword to cut them

It's not like what I do is very fantasy-like, I guess

96: Nameless Explorer

In other words, even non-magic classes can now do things with magic and magical energy, right?

97: Nameless Explorer

That's it!

98: Nameless Explorer

In that sense, it's true, the reason why frontline classes like swordsmen had magical energy was a mystery

101: Nameless Explorer

I knew they apparently always had magical energy, but I didn't know how to use it

102: Nameless Explorer

I tried to see if I could move it with magical energy alone, and I was able to make it move, but that way of using it was mind-blowing.

And this is really strong. Progress seems like it'll advance all at once

103: Nameless Explorer

Magic classes have no benefit from magical energy control right now

106: Nameless Explorer

>>102 Seriously? You could do it? Aren't there any tricks or anything?

108: Nameless Explorer

>>103 Even for magic classes, there's the benefit of being able to move as much as frontline classes.

Though they can't use magic when their magical energy runs out

111: Nameless Explorer

Tricks, huh. As John Doe said too, I think it's about imagery. I cross my legs in meditation, put my palms face up and stack them, and when I imagine a warm, gooey lump on top, I became able to do it.

But I only became able to move it after listening to John Doe's talk this time

114: Nameless Explorer

I feel like I can move it a little with the image of water! I imagine that 70% of the body is water thing, and I imagine that about 70% of magical energy is seeping out of my body or concentrating at my hands and feet.

But because of that, when I'm not imagining it or my imagination is weak, the magical energy gathers in my lower body

116: Nameless Explorer

>>114 That made me laugh a little ww

119: Nameless Explorer

John Doe said too that what you can do depends on the image.

Like whether you use it as energy, as a spring, or as a gear.

122: Nameless Explorer

It really depends on each person's imagination, I guess

123: Nameless Explorer

I'm trying to imagine it, but I can't really get it to move

126: Nameless Explorer

>>123 If you know an enchanter, it might be easier to understand if you get them to enchant you.

129: Nameless Explorer

Really? I'm an enchanter, but I don't understand it myself

132: Nameless Explorer

That's from the perspective of the one being enchanted. When you get enchanted, you feel like you're wrapped in something warm or whatever.

From that sensation, you can feel the magical energy. Enchanter-san, have you tried enchanting yourself?

134: Nameless Explorer

Is there even such a thing as a dedicated enchanter?

135: Nameless Explorer

I imagined magical energy flowing through my blood, and I could do it. So this is magical energy, it's truly amazing

138: Nameless Explorer

Actually, I want to ask someone who can do magical energy control, what does it feel like?

How much stronger do you think you'll get than before?

140: Nameless Explorer

I don't know, but I'm definitely putting out more power than before. I can move faster and feel lighter

142: Nameless Explorer

I was a mid-layer explorer, but I can manage fairly well even in the lower layers, or rather, it might be breezy

143: Nameless Explorer

That's strong

144: Nameless Explorer

Rather, this will probably become an essential skill from now on

146: Nameless Explorer

I think it probably will. I mean, even those at the front lines who are called non-human or whatever, when you actually see them fight, you think "ah, they're still human after all." They don't have that "he's stopped being human" feeling like John Doe

147: Nameless Explorer

Actually, the dungeon still has quite a ways to go

149: Nameless Explorer

Even though physical abilities increase as your level rises, a time will come when that alone won't be enough, is that it?

151: Nameless Explorer

Rather, it's like you'll be able to challenge it at even lower levels, I guess?

153: Nameless Explorer

More importantly! I! I'm interested in that cute purple-haired older woman!

154: Nameless Explorer

When no one else was trying to touch her, you just so boldly...

157: Nameless Explorer

Well, actually, that person was cute.

But what wasn't shown in the video, that huge dragon that made John Doe run is seriously scary

158: Nameless Explorer

John Doe running is what?

160: Nameless Explorer

But John Doe himself said that monsters stronger than him normally exist, didn't he?

163: Nameless Explorer

He did. That kind of talk. Which means beyond the dungeon is a world of asura full of strong ones, I guess

164: Nameless Explorer

In that underwater battle we saw on the way to the World Tree too, unbelievably strong monsters were fighting each other normally

165: Nameless Explorer

Rather than that, that world beyond, he was talking about children of man or children of wind, but does that mean humans exist in the world beyond the dungeon?

166: Nameless Explorer

I wouldn't want to get close to a place where such scary monsters are fighting each other

167: Nameless Explorer

>>165 He said the children of man have been gone for a long time, so have humans gone extinct?

But he also talked about a vessel for the children of wind, so demi-human-like races seem to still be alive, don't they?

168: Nameless Explorer

Either way, if there are intelligent beings, things will get quite troublesome

171: Nameless Explorer

>>168 Why?

173: Nameless Explorer

Because we're treating the dungeon and the world beyond that John Doe revealed like a frontier.

174: Nameless Explorer

But it's a question of how we should respond if there are indigenous people there.

177: Nameless Explorer

And this time, we can't do things like how the British persecuted Native Americans or how Pizarro did whatever he wanted in South America.

180: Nameless Explorer

>>177 Why? Being able to get out of the dungeon means you've become as strong as John Doe, right? Then wouldn't it be easy?

183: Nameless Explorer

Think about the era. Things like human rights awareness are different between then and now.

Even if it were possible, you can't do that now

184: Nameless Explorer

Still, if we could recover resources from the world beyond the dungeon that are said to be depleted on Earth in the next 100 years, that would be exciting

187: Nameless Explorer

As for electricity, weren't they trying to manage with magic stones recently?

190: Nameless Explorer

They are, but in the end, the population is too large, so the magic stones that explorers can bring back aren't enough...

193: Nameless Explorer

In the end, it would be good if the talks go well.

For now, since that person didn't seem to suddenly become hostile when we observed them

196: Nameless Explorer

I wonder why the children of man perished.

Well, they might not be extinct, though

198: Nameless Explorer

He said they've been gone for a long time, so I think it's right that they've gone extinct

201: Nameless Explorer

If they're fantasy-like demi-humans, like beastmen, elves, or dwarves?

They probably don't have as large a population as humans, so couldn't they find a way to coexist?

202: Nameless Explorer

It would be nice if it went that smoothly, though

203: Nameless Explorer

Ah, John Doe probably knows more, but I wish he'd just spill all the information

205: Nameless Explorer

In his last stream too, he ended it in a meaningful way without clearly stating "people exist"

208: Nameless Explorer

Well, with that way of saying it, it's undeniable that humans exist or existed

209: Nameless Explorer

Anyway, we'll keep paying attention to John Doe's streams from now on

211: Nameless Explorer

Changing the subject, but how did John Doe get to the deep layers, I wonder

212: Nameless Explorer

Huh?

213: Nameless Explorer

>>211 What do you mean?

214: Nameless Explorer

Didn't he just normally defeat monsters?

217: Nameless Explorer

No, no matter how you think about it, it would take a tremendous amount of time, right?

John Doe was talking about making a base in the dungeon or something, so I thought maybe there are safe zones or something

218: Nameless Explorer

Wait, that's a big possibility

221: Nameless Explorer

>>218 You're rushing too much and binding words too much. But I get what you're trying to say

222: Nameless Explorer

In other words, there might be safe zones inside the dungeon, is that it?

And John Doe knows about them, so he talked about building a base, is that it?

224: Nameless Explorer

>>222 Yeah, yeah. If that's the case, I want the advance party to work hard, and I think we latecomers need to think about or prepare something too

227: Nameless Explorer

That might be the most likely possibility right now.

Leaving aside practicing magical energy control for the future

229: Nameless Explorer

Indeed, rather than talking about the world beyond the dungeon now, talking about that might be more meaningful

232: It's me here 【The following will be moved to the dungeon base consultation thread~】

235: Nameless Explorer

I thought "can you just change it on your own?" but then saw it was you, huh

237: Nameless Explorer

Really, you're the one who brought it up yourself ww

238: It's me here Since the topic came up, I thought that might be good too

Well then, let's think about what's needed to build a base inside the labyrinth!

241: Nameless Explorer

As a prerequisite, safe zones, right? I think having to defend against monsters 24/7 or whatever makes it impossible as a base

243: Nameless Explorer

If it were once a day or something fixed, that's one thing, but irregular attacks would be tough

246: Nameless Explorer

Even so, if people gathered, they could probably take turns on watch and defeat monsters when they come, though

248: Nameless Explorer

If we need to defend the base, we'd have to make walls out of wood or concrete, right?

251: Nameless Explorer

First of all, defense-related equipment is necessary.

But defense-related in the dungeon—since we're explorers, isn't it meaningless to think about it?

254: Nameless Explorer

The only thing I can think of is taking turns every few hours to constantly keep guard without fail

255: Nameless Explorer

Then let's think about what's needed in a base, what we want from it, what's needed for it to function as a base?

258: Nameless Explorer

First of all, a kitchen, or rather a storage room for food supplies, maybe?

259: Nameless Explorer

First, what we want from a dungeon base is the ability to resupply without returning to the surface, right?

262: Nameless Explorer

In that case, potions and food, and what other consumables are there?

264: Nameless Explorer

I also want to repair or replenish things like clothes and equipment, and maintain weapons too

265: Nameless Explorer

Let me summarize a bit

What do we want from a dungeon base?

・A place where you can resupply without going to the surface

・A place where you can sleep peacefully without going to the surface (that's necessary, right)

What we want to resupply or need in the dungeon

・Food

・Water

・Consumables like potions

・Clothes

・Equipment maintenance

・Weapon maintenance

Something like that?

266: Nameless Explorer

......When it gets to this point, isn't this not a base but rather a village or a town?

269: Nameless Explorer

It's fine as a supply base for everything we want to resupply, though

270: Nameless Explorer

What we're doing is already like a small village or town

272: Nameless Explorer

When it gets to this point, we'll need order too, though not a police station or anything

275: Nameless Explorer

How about setting up multiple cameras to monitor by streaming?

276: Nameless Explorer

There's no way to watch cameras from inside the labyrinth, is there?

279: Nameless Explorer

In the end, when people gather, it will probably become a settlement or village.

I can't see a future where it works well as a pure supply base

280: Nameless Explorer

A supply base-like thing would probably be impossible unless it's a single group like the military.

That's not something explorers can do, right?

281: Nameless Explorer

In that case, would it be like using money inside the dungeon to buy and sell items?

Food, water, equipment, etc.

282: Nameless Explorer

In the end, business using money as a medium is the healthiest

284: Nameless Explorer

But if prices get jacked up, that would be unbearable, wouldn't it?

Just because it's a dungeon base, there'd definitely be guys who jack up prices

287: Nameless Explorer

That's business, so there'll be competition among sellers too, and prices will go down, right?

290: Nameless Explorer

Besides, if it comes to that, the recently cleaned-up guild or association would probably do something to make agreements

292: Nameless Explorer

A village inside the dungeon, huh. And exploration centered around that...

That has a dream-like quality to it, nice

295: Nameless Explorer

Indeed, for some reason it's exciting, or has a dream-like quality

296: Nameless Explorer

This is that frontier spirit thing

298: Nameless Explorer

I'm starting to understand a little what John Doe was talking about

300: Nameless Explorer

Well, this is all after exploration progresses and we learn more about the lower layers!
Japan is behind America!

302: Nameless Explorer

America is just too fast.

Just a few days after John Doe appeared, they conquered the deep layers—actually, they could have conquered them before but were probably stagnating because it would be over if they did

305: Nameless Explorer

>>305 That certainly seems likely

307: Nameless Explorer

>>302 If that's the case, countries like Russia and China that were trying hard to catch up would look stupid, wouldn't they?

309: Nameless Explorer

America pays the most money, after all. And it's easy to gather people from other countries

312: Nameless Explorer

Yoshida-san, who is probably the strongest Japanese person, is also active in America

315: Nameless Explorer

He's Yoshida now

317: Nameless Explorer

Kind of lol

320: Nameless Explorer

Advance exploration, and build a base.

We have to think about both, and whatnot

323: Nameless Explorer

Even for exploring the deep layers, it takes days just to conquer the inner areas

325: Nameless Explorer

Apparently they're camping overnight in the dungeon.

They split into a team that advances exploration and a team that guards the camp, and they're conquering it with a large group of people

328: Nameless Explorer

It seems that even a single clan has difficulty conquering even the deep layers

331: Nameless Explorer

It feels like multiple clans cooperate, gather capable people, and finally manage it, I guess

333: Nameless Explorer

Speaking of deep layer conquest, Amemiya Kanata and Hachijoji Akane, who are involved with John Doe, seem to be getting stronger and stronger lately

336: Nameless Explorer

I wonder if they got tips from John Doe

338: Nameless Explorer

John Doe doesn't seem like the type to do that, so aren't they just working hard to pay back the 1 billion?

340: Nameless Explorer

That's true They had that 1 billion debt, huh

343: Nameless Explorer

But if we're going to advance deep layer exploration, it's desirable to have even one more capable explorer, so I hope the Dansta members grow strong enough to participate too

345: Nameless Explorer

Well then, let's work hard at exploring too, us

The awful part about being an explorer is that if you don't get stronger even a little, you might not be able to eat

346: Nameless Explorer

Good luck- (sounds like a non-explorer)

349: Nameless Explorer

Why don't you become an explorer too

352: Nameless Explorer

My parents would stop me, so it's impossible until I become a college student

355: Nameless Explorer

I, I see. Good luck

356: Nameless Explorer

Actually, when the front line advances, the prices of items in the rear areas go down by that much.

Even now, I can make a living in the later upper layers, but gradually, that area where you can make a living will probably advance to the middle layers, lower layers

357: Nameless Explorer

Don't tell me such a depressing prediction

359: Nameless Explorer

But I refuse

361: Nameless Explorer

If the number of explorers doesn't increase, dungeon exploration won't advance.

But if exploration advances, it becomes harder for latecomers to enter.

It's a troublesome problem, isn't it?

363: Nameless Explorer

The guild will probably think of something about that.

They might even provide subsidies, for instance

The following continues with idle chat straying from John Doe's story


Breaking News】The world beyond the dungeon is too fast for humanity, causing a stir【Dragons exist】

283: Nameless Explorer

The fact that not just dragons but even wyverns haven't been confirmed in Japan yet

285: Nameless Explorer

What's the difference between those categories?

288: Nameless Explorer

Dragons seem stronger

289: Nameless Explorer

Are they the strongest boss confirmed so far?

291: Nameless Explorer

>>288 I get it

292: Nameless Explorer

They say behemoth or whatever, but it's just a dinosaur, with no dragon-like feel at all

293: Nameless Explorer

>>289 The strongest is probably the Orc King

295: Nameless Explorer

Orc King <<<<<< Dragon I wonder how much difference exists there

297: Nameless Explorer

>>295 For starters, considering John Doe's strength, even if 100 Orc Kings gathered, they probably couldn't beat a dragon

300: Nameless Explorer

And the one that made John Doe run was a dragon. Its unbelievable strength is certain

302: Nameless Explorer

Are we seriously going to fight something like that in the future?

304: Nameless Explorer

John Doe won't show us the dungeon, but if you go to the lower layers of the dungeon, won't one or two dragons appear?

Surely a monster that would make John Doe run wouldn't appear in the dungeon, right?

305: Nameless Explorer

Even those wood puppet-like things that John Doe was mowing down, the current advance party seems like they couldn't even handle them

306: Nameless Explorer

The road ahead is ridiculously long

307: Nameless Explorer

Honestly, I'm not confident I can become as strong as John Doe.

I am trying hard, though

309: Nameless Explorer

That's an outlier. If you're aiming for something, America's top class is still more realistic

311: Nameless Explorer

But now that I can do magical energy control, I feel like I've gotten stronger

314: Nameless Explorer

Actually, I've gotten considerably stronger with magical energy control.

I was lower layer equivalent before, but now I can defeat a Dullahan solo

317: Nameless Explorer

But the John Doe who instantly kills that Dullahan has an opponent he runs from

318: Nameless Explorer

It's impossible after all

319: Nameless Explorer

Palm drill, maybe?

322: Nameless Explorer

Let me pour some oil on that for you

323: Nameless Explorer

No, but solo Dullahan is amazing, though?

326: Nameless Explorer

The advance party members who can now do magical energy control are probably that relaxed now, I guess

327: Nameless Explorer

John Doe, could you tell us a little about the strength of monsters per dungeon layer?

Even every ten layers is fine

328: Nameless Explorer

I'll ask him next time, I guess.

There's a huge difference between knowing and not knowing what strength to aim for

331: Nameless Explorer

John Doe has so many streamers now, I don't think he'll notice our comments that easily

332: Nameless Explorer

In the end, it means the advance party has no choice but to work hard, huh?

335: Nameless Explorer

Good luck, advance party! And I want to catch up!

338: Nameless Explorer

I'll leisurely earn money in the lower layers

340: Nameless Explorer

The fact that you went from leisurely in the upper layers to leisurely in the middle or lower layers is already amazing

341: Nameless Explorer

But dragons are (ry

342: Nameless Explorer

I'll go crazy from the infinite loop
