Hey, Shun here!
I remember that many gamers got popular because of their sick plays. I wonder if I'll get popular by doing this…
Why do I want to get popular as a skilled gamer? Well, it's to deter others.
Having a reputed background can go a long way, after all. Hiding your true abilities is more troublesome.

(Shun's POV)
While I was checking out my farm, I suddenly received a message from Sei-nee, telling me to open voice chat with her. I just finished hunting for the day and I wanted to focus on expanding my fields and cultivating them but it looks like this is something important.
Well, I'll first complete my transaction with this farmer to open up another two fields. With this, I'll have four.
I've spent a total of 70,000G just from these four fields alone.
While continuing with my work, I called Sei-nee.
"What's up Sei-nee?"
『Syun-chan, are one of your friends someone with red hair with devil features while the other is a blonde girl with blue eyes?』
"Yes? Yes, why? Did they do something?"
I couldn't help but grunt a little as I plowed the field. I think I should be doing this every morning.
『What are you doing over there, Syun-chan?』
"Hmm? *grunt* I'm plowing my field in the southern district."
『Oh? You have a field? Then how about your Senses? Wouldn't you fall behind even more?』
"Did Myu not tell you? I'm still waayy ahead of her even though I'm doing all these things."
There was a pause for a moment before I finally heard her response.
『Wow, Syun-chan. I didn't know that you'll surpass even Onee-chan in levels even though you're not in a guild.』
"I feel a little proud that I did…"
『Un, it's good to see you enjoying the game.』
I continued to plow the field while waiting for Sei-nee to continue. I'm gonna need to plant lots of Fine Herbs here for Mutsuko-san. She just found a new recipe.
『Anyway, are those two I mentioned your friends?』
"You mean Maple and RedArchdemon? Yeah, they're my friends."
『Then, you should tell them to go a little low key. Even though guilds still aren't formed, people is recruiting members so… They might get pestered by solicitations. They're becoming famous because the first one is such an unkillable tank while the other pelts mobs with lots of fire balls.』
That's bad. Hmm… Should I think of building a guild?
This'll only solve the problem about guild solicitations temporarily but this solution would last. What I could do is maybe create some kind of wave through the community and be well-known enough like my sisters…
I knew I should have played during the β test.
"Understood. Thanks for informing me Sei-nee."
『No problem. Take care, Syun-chan.』
"Mm. You too."
After ending the call, I contacted the girls and told them to practice here in the southern district. Since Pochi, Tama, and Rikka-san already got their "Fifth Breaker" and "Shock Impact" from Golem-sensei — a boss mob on the western region — they no longer needed to stay there.
There's rarely any people who visits the southern district since people are afraid of venturing in this place.
To gain more popularity or to get more well-known… What should I do?
"Oh, wait! I forgot to check out the video I posted on YuuTube. Isn't it gonna be a great ticket to getting well-known in this game?"
Thus, I checked out my account and holy cow was it surprising to see. The video I posted is now sitting at 7 million views just after a few days.
"So that's what that man meant by 'video'. Eh, I'm really surprised this blew up the way it did. It's even my first video."
Now that I know what to do, only one thing is needed to be done. Do something absurd again!
Alright, first off, I already have my lower leveled Senses up to level 15 and up. I've been hunting increasingly stronger monsters and trying to train all of them.
Heck, I've even tried training while battling with the boss monsters like Golem-sensei and the Blade Lizard. I couldn't kill them at the time, though. Unfortunately, I'm more focused on doing crafting lately.
Well, even if it was like that, I still managed to level up my Senses quite fast. I just knew that this growth would somehow slow down if I don't find a stronger monster who I can grind.
The higher leveled Senses rarely moved in level so I think its time to hunt stronger mobs. The boss mobs.

New Senses are now available for [Alchemy], [Synthesis], and [Recovery Magic] but I'll leave them for later. I don't want to once again grind these skills up to speed since it's really hard to do so.
In addition to the five days of training and assisting the girls, and juggling between training my [NWO] and [OSO] account, I've been training for an additional one day. The leveling speed really dropped once you're at a high level.
Anyway, let's go hunt a more absurd monster. Since the farmer mentioned about going to Second Town to accept a building request, I guess I'll go fight the Blade Lizard there.
With that decided, I got to moving and left my field after planting all the seeds.
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
With my recording on, I went to the eastern district, deep inside the forested area. After traveling from a while, I couldn't help but wonder if they'll introduce mounts in this game anytime soon.
While going deeper inside this forested area that I've been to many times, I came across a location where vines started to grow, with more different and diverse species of mobs showing up.
There's Poison Dart Snakes, an extremely venomous snake that inflicts its victims with poisonous Damage over Time(DoT) with its attacks. I bet they're call 'poison dart' because they spit out their fangs coated with poison, making it look like they're spitting our blow darts.
Aside from them, there's also the Feral Monkees and Treant Bucks. The former is just a monkey as big as a chimpanzee, extremely speedy in this jungle terrain, and the latter is a male deer with vines growing on its horns.
What's annoying about this monster is that it's extremely beefy and could attack by growing the vines and branches on its horns to attack in long range. Really amazing and annoying at the same time.
I also encountered a very weird ape with swollen arms and an aggressive look on its face. It looks like it's only seeing blood.
Then most troublesome thing about them is that, the moment they spot you, they'll rush at you like they really want your nuts. The saliva constantly dripping from their mouths is really disgusting…
That aside, is that the monster I've been looking for? I thought as I looked at the lizard monster a few meters away from me.
The distance was about forty metres. It was an about 2 metres long lizard curled up and sleeping, its scales were about as sharp as a sword was. The gaps between there were wide, but the scales seemed to be hard. Looks difficult.
However, I could aim for the gaps between them at this distance.
"Should I pull it and battle it here? Oh crap! Mash Apes are also here!"
Even though I said that in panic, I'm actually pretty calm deep inside. I already expected a hard fought battle when I came here, after all.
I applied a triple enchant on myself — Defense, Attack, and Speed — and aimed my arrow towards the sky. I then released the [Arts] "Long Range Shooting".
The arrow that was released from the bow as I made such a form drew an arc and was stuck to the back of the Blade Lizard. The advantage of this way of shooting was that the time between shooting and the moment it hit was extended.
With this, I could prepare myself before I engage with enemy.
"Oh, it faced this way? It's coming now, huh…"
When the Blade Lizard faced this way, I shot an arrow for the second time. It pierced through the gap between the scales on its shoulder.
Just as I declared, the big lizard stood up on its limbs and came at me with full force. I continued to shoot arrows like a machine gun.
"—"Rapid Fire Bow - Twin Needles"!"
When the [Art's] cooldown ended, I triggered another [Art].
After taking two arrows in my hand, I released both of them at the same time. This really is some fantasy-like movements. One of the arrows hit a scale, the other pierced through its nape.
The moment the lizard entered the range of my regular attacks, I focused on the Blade Lizard with the help of [Hawk Eyes] and placed a curse on the large lizard with my [Enchant Arts]
""Curse" — Defense, Speed!"
Looking at it slow down quite visibly, I once again triggered another one of my [Arts], "Rapid Fire Bow - Shotgun Barrage". Most of the arrows I fired hit the hard scales while only three shots slipped on its scale and hit its body and head.
"Fuu, as expected, that scraped off a lot of its HP."
The long distance attacks with arrows shaved off 31% of the lizard's HP.
"Eh, this would actually be easier than I expected if he remains standing like a sitting duck from a long distance…"
However, that was only a pipe dream. Because, currently, even though with a curse placed on it, it still managed to approach me in a relatively fast speed.
Not like I intended to run, though. If I wanted to, this lizard wouldn't be able to catch up.
"It's time to put up a show for the viewers, huh?" I mumbled to myself. I'll edit it out later after this battle.

Author's Remarks:
※ I skipped some days since it will just be repeated farming, crafting, and killing. After this, let's visit the girls.
So, it came to my knowledge that my current title, compared to my past titles, is kinda unoriginal. Thus, to address this situation, I thought up of a new title.
The title in my mind is: An Admin's Diaries: Becoming An Admin Of The Dimensional Chūnibyō Chat Group Isn't Easy!
