Deep Sea Fish Hunting Specialty Broadcast – 34

EP.34 Interlude

[ This broadcast has ended. ]

A screen displaying a concise message along with some static noise.

“Huuuh…haaah…”

S-Class Hunter Shin Yuna stretched vigorously.

As expected, today’s broadcast by Parang was substantial. Tomorrow’s would surely be just as rich.

Since the broadcast had just ended, it would take some time for the community to start buzzing and heating up with discussions.

Yuna headed to her workshop.

Her current location was Pohang. Having completed her moving process last night, Shin Yuna now lived in the same village as Parang.

‘Hunter? Oh, the same profession as that Han Siwoo from Geumma? Oh my, such a young lady going through so much. Here, take a bite of this before you go. Oh, you eat so prettily. Here, try this too…’

She had already greeted the local elders. Each one of them was a kind soul.

‘Oh, you eat so well. How can you be so skinny? You need to eat more to grow big and strong. This is homemade Sikhye…’

It was the first time in her life she had eaten so much.

Well, anyway.

“Hmm~ Hmhm~”

She hummed a tune as she headed to her workshop. It was time for lunch, but she felt like she couldn’t eat anything more.

And now, she had to deal with something more important than ever.

– Drrrrr. –

As Yuna stood in front of her workshop, the door automatically opened.

As always, amidst the neatly set up works scattered around, in the most conspicuous spot.

There lay a scroll, carefully cherished.

Like a treasure, it was an unidentified scroll, even encased in a glass frame obtained from who knows where.

Yuna caressed the glass case as if it were a luscious fruit.

A lot had happened.

From the initial submarine broadcast to her connection with Parang. So much had happened in such a short time since that meeting.

The submarine made in two weeks? Scrapped.

The unmanned submarine made with renewed determination? Indefinitely halted.

The broadcasting equipment made with the help of 13 crafting hunters? Used twice and then discarded.

But!!!

‘Today is different!!’

Yuna clenched her fist.

She had given up on the broadcasting equipment and allowed Silo’s surveillance, not really surveillance, in exchange for obtaining this item.

Now, with this scroll, there were still a few obstacles left to her fiery passion for the deep sea… but still!

She could eliminate the biggest problem.

She carefully opened the glass case and held the scroll in her hand.

Then, a notification window appeared before her.

[ Do you want to use the skill scroll? ]

[ ! Warning ! A conflict with existing skills is expected. Acquiring this skill may result in the loss of existing skills. ]

[ Y / N ]

“I will use it.”

Then, the entire skill scroll turned into light and permeated Yuna’s body.

The information of the skill was being engraved into her blood.

Yuna closed her eyes and savored the sensation for a moment.

It felt as if cool water was sweeping over her entire body.

– Swoosh. –

The sun-drenched sandy beach, the incoming waves.

For a moment, she felt as if she had really been to the seaside.

Such a vivid ‘engraving’ sensation could only come from an S-Class skill.

Eventually, the illusion she was wandering in ended.

Yuna opened her eyes.

A blue light briefly flickered in her eyes before disappearing.

Yuna looked at the window that appeared before her and smiled.

[ You have acquired the skill, ‘Waterproof Sanity’. ]

[ Viewing skill information. ]

[ Waterproof Sanity (S) ]

[ You cannot possess or acquire any other mental barrier-type skills. ]

[ Strongly resists mental damage inflicted by targets in the water. Strongly resists mental damage received while the caster is in the water. If both the target and the caster are in the water, mental attacks are completely nullified. ]

Along with the feeling of being filled, she also felt something slipping away from her body.

[ The skill, Inner Peace (A), has been nullified due to conflict. ]

[ The skill, Mental Firewall (A), has been nullified due to conflict. ]

[ The skill, Equanimity (B), has been nullified due to conflict. ]

[ The skill, Brain Filter (C), has been nullified due to conflict. ]

These were the skills that once protected her firmly.

But to the current Yuna, they were just skills that couldn’t even block the charm of Galecus.

At the same time, she was astonished.

It was because of the description of the skill she had just acquired.

‘Strongly resists mental damage inflicted by targets in the water.’

‘Strongly resists mental damage received while the caster is in the water.’

None of the mental barrier-type skills she had seen so far had the phrase ‘strongly resists’ in their descriptions.

Moreover, immunity.

It was a word she had never seen in the status window before.

Yuna sneakily opened the skill information window and skimmed through the ‘acquisition conditions’ section.

[ Acquisition Conditions for the ‘Waterproof Sanity’ Skill ]

[ 1. Acquired through a scroll ]

[ 2. … ]

“Oh….”

There was no way Hunter Yu Parang obtained this through a scroll.

This meant she had met the ‘acquisition conditions’ listed here.

A chill ran down Yuna’s spine.

She resolved never to make Parang an enemy.

How on earth did she manage to extract such an insanely powerful skill into a scroll?

She once again felt the immense capability of Silo Corporation.

Did they really draw Parang’s blood or something?

Well, pondering over it wouldn’t provide any answers. Yuna brushed off her lingering thoughts and headed to her bedroom, flopping onto the bed.

By now, the buzz about Parang’s broadcast should be circulating.

[ Found the Alt Account of the Moderator ] [22]

The community was ablaze as usual.

Yuna clicked on the most intriguing title with a satisfied expression.

[ Today’s Yu Parang Slander Movie ]

[ Author: NoctilucentMonster ]

(The video shows Parang coldly and sharply slandering while annihilating monsters. The editing has enhanced the aesthetic quality of the video.)

Who the hell was the first one to request slander from this girl… Damn it, I can’t sleep because of you!!

Oooh…so intense…

?Ddu-dae-dae…

? Ddae-dae… Uu…

? Ddu-dae-uu.. Ddae-dae…

? What are these guys doing?

? (Confused emoji)

?Wow, I really like this stuff, damn.

?But seriously, the action is so good, even without the insults, lol.

? For real, it’s better than most Hunter battles, lol.

? It’s probably because there are no directional limitations underwater.

? Isn’t that the same for flying types?

? How can you compare it to wyverns and those flying creatures?

? Busted, lol.

I really want to keep one at home.

?What is that? It’s so cute!

? Are there still people who don’t watch Yu Parang’s broadcast?

?The original is supposedly 20 meters in size, how can you keep that, lol.

? Oh, damn, really?

? (Is this real?) emoji

? ‘Whale Louse’

? Ugh, no way.

? That’s an Umoo, I’ve seen it, yep, that’s an Umoo.

? No matter how much you deny it, if you strip away the graphics, it’s a whale louse, lol.

[ Damn, what should I do about this ]

[ Author: GamjaJeon ]

(A man in a full-body latex suit taking a photo in front of a mirror. He seems to have torn off the connection part forcibly, and the zipper has been completely ripped off.)

Why the hell can’t I take this off, damn, what should I do?

?What’s with this guy, lol.

?Idiot, lol.

?Damn, a guy wearing latex, what the hell.

?Are you really gay??

?Isn’t this the same guy from that popular post before?

? ? What are you talking about?

? (Link)

? It’s really him, damn, lol.

? Why is this happening, lol.

? This guy is a real idiot, lol.

?Cut it with scissors.

? It won’t cut, damn, maybe it has some option on it.

? Why would a latex suit with options have a ripped zipper?

? Why are you asking me, damn.

? Go to a big branch of the Hunter Association and ask them to remove the option.

? Damn, you want me to go to Seoul wearing this???

? Then live with it forever, lol.

[ Damn, Silo!!!! ]

[ Author: DajinParangMushroom ]

Damn, make it so the third-person view can zoom out!!!

?Upvote

?Upvote

?Upvote

?It’s so annoying that most angles are blocked, lol. Trying to see from a prettier angle is impossible.

?Yu Parang turning invisible is so annoying, seriously.

? It’s a broadcast about monsters, what’s the point of seeing the Hunter?

? This guy doesn’t watch the broadcast.

? This guy really doesn’t watch it, huh.

? Kick out the clueless ones.

? Damn, is this Yu Parang Gallery or Hunter Gallery, lol.

[ Found the mod’s alt account ]

(GIF of someone fondling Galecus’s egg)

There’s no such thing, lol. Just look at this gross GIF.

?Where’s the gross GIF?

?Where’s the mod’s alt account?

?Where’s the gross GIF?

?Damn, it’s funny how everyone’s used to it now, lol.

“Hmm.”

Yuna quietly stared at the GIF of Galecus’s egg.

It didn’t bother her at all. Since no notification window popped up, it seemed that Waterproof Sanity didn’t activate.

Yuna had already adapted to Parang’s broadcasts

#

Meanwhile, Yu Parang.

She lay in the tank in her bedroom, fiddling with her phone.

– Ping-! –

“Hmm?”

A suddenly received text.

Well, texts usually arrive unexpectedly.

She checked SiloTalk and saw it was a message from Bertea.

[Parang, about your broadcast.]

[Can I appear as a guest tomorrow?]
