The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 134
43. The Bongbong Negotiation (2)
Regardless of whether the world’s balance crumbled, Cheese Village was thriving as content.
Today marked the third day in Cheese Village.
The edited version of Cheese Village hadn’t been uploaded to AllTube yet.
[Current Viewers: 289,000]
The main channel’s live viewership was approaching 300,000.
Some major corporate Streamers have personal channel live viewership exceeding 1 million, so this might seem like a small number.
However, main broadcasts showing all perspectives typically have far lower viewership than popular Streamers’ personal streams.
Viewers in the streaming market strongly prefer watching from their favorite Streamer’s perspective rather than from the main camera’s viewpoint.
Considering that, the main broadcast approaching 300,000 is quite a respectable figure.
“I heard the total viewership reaches nearly 3 to 4 million.”
Park O-hun excitedly mentions that combining all the Streamers’ viewership produces an enormous number.
But Department Manager Jang shakes his head.
“There’s a lot of overlap in that. Many people watch multiple streams.”
This type of content has a considerable rate of simultaneous viewing.
“For example, TV for Almond’s perspective, phone for the main broadcast, tablet for Jello’s perspective. That’s how people watch. You have to divide by 3 at minimum.”
“That’s true. But it’s only day three. Our edited version hasn’t even been uploaded yet, right?”
“Ugh…”
Department Manager Jang sits up from his reclined position and stretches.
His eyes still look exhausted, and dark stubble covers his jaw.
“Right. What are the teaser views? O-hun.”
“The teaser has 1.04 million views. And it’s only been a day since the teaser dropped.”
“Hmm.”
Department Manager Jang nods with satisfaction.
‘It’s lower compared to something like Fake National Team, but we can’t expect that level.’
Since the previous project was Fake National Team, these numbers are quite respectable.
Park O-hun eagerly adds more.
“When our edited version drops, it’s going to be insane, right?”
What?
Department Manager Jang eyes Park O-hun suspiciously.
Why has Park O-hun been saying we’re doing well, aren’t we doing great, this whole time?
He must be asking for something.
“So what, you want a performance bonus?”
He probably had some fun with the performance bonus during the Fake National Team days.
“Huh? No?”
But Park O-hun tilts his head in surprise.
It seems he was trying to say something else.
“Oh, was I wrong?”
A look of embarrassment crosses Department Manager Jang’s face.
‘Damn it. I brought this up first because my feet were itching for no reason.’
If that wasn’t it, why would I even mention this? I’m exhausted.
“It’s Paprika. Paprika.”
That was it.
The moment the edited footage goes out, the public will inevitably learn of the Paprika Streamers’ existence.
“The backlash will be enormous. We need to decide whether to turn on the Paprika Streamers’ broadcasts at that time or not.”
“Ah….”
That was right.
The Production Team had decided to set the broadcast start date for the Paprika Streamers.
We were planning to release them once they properly clashed with Cheese Village and became aware of each other’s existence.
“Hmm… Wouldn’t it be difficult to turn them on right after the edited footage releases?”
“Is that so? I’m starting to want to turn them on soon.”
“Uh….”
Sigh.
Department Manager Jang wrapped his head in his hands.
Technically it was up to Department Manager Jang’s discretion, but morally speaking, he couldn’t tell them to keep the broadcast off until the end.
It would be the same as preventing the Streamers from doing their jobs.
“When Jello attacks one more time. Tell them to reveal it then….”
“…Huh?”
“It’ll be in the edited footage too. Tell them to reveal it then. Make it cool.”
“Ohhh. Understood.”
Park O-hun taps away at the keyboard, composing a message.
Tap tap tap tap tap…!
Then he quickly asks urgently.
“Ah. I need to give more detailed orders. Could you add our performance bonus to this month’s salary?”
“Uh… Yeah. Send it like that and uh… what?”
What just happened?
“Wow. You’re sending it to our accounts like that? Wow! Did everyone hear!? The CEO is amazing!”
As expected.
It was because of the performance bonus.
“Waaaaaaaa!!!”
Boom.
A sudden roar like thunder erupts.
“The CEO is the best!”
“We’re getting a performance bonus again!?”
Clap clap clap.
Everyone must have been listening to this conversation—Employees stand up from all around, giving a standing ovation.
“Damn it! No! Sit down! I said sit down!”
Department Manager Jang, caught off guard despite knowing better, wraps his head in his hands.

* * *
Employees who tormented the CEO existed even here in Cheese Village.
[Danmuji has logged in.]
[Goguma has logged in.]
Almond had already sensed it from the moment these two logged in simultaneously—creatures who had no business being here at this hour.
‘Oh… here they come.’
He had been laying down fertile soil, but quickly tried to move away.
“Boss~!”
Crash!
Danbong and Gobong came rushing over the moment they logged in.
“Boss! Why are you outside!?”
“Ah… I was just laying down some fertile soil.”
“I’ll handle that, sir! Why would you do such menial work!?”
-?
-??
-That’s not Gobong, that’s you lol
-Gobong lol
That’s right. It was Danbong who said that.
Smack!
Danbong kicked Gobong’s rear end and shouted indignantly.
“You fool! Move faster! I’m finally raising your rates! How can you be so lazy!?”
“Ouch! Yes! Right away! You’re raising my rates! Of course I should do everything!!”
It had always been like this, but their dialogue today was oddly more theatrical than usual.
They were clearly doing this to bring up salary negotiations.
“Well… fine.”
Almond raised both arms in surrender.
“I’ll leave the fertile soil here, so spread it all out. Gobong.”
“Yes!”
Gobong grinned and began picking up the fertile soil to spread it.
“Danbong, come talk with me for a moment.”
“Ehehe… understood, sir!”
-lololololol
-lolol
Poor little ones ㅠㅠ lol
-Give him a raise, you stubborn guy
As Gobong watched from behind with envious eyes, Almond tossed out casually.
“Gobong, once you finish spreading all the soil, come inside.”
“Huh… huh!? Yes!!”
A full smile bloomed across Gobong’s face.
‘Finally, a raise.’

* * *
And so Danbong and Almond settled onto the sofa.
Almond took the larger single-seat sofa first, nodding his massive head.
“Here, sit.”
Despite being in his own home, Danbong tensed as if entering an executive’s office.
“Y-yes!”
He stammered nervously as he took a seat on the sofa across from Almond.
“You’ve worked hard all this time, Danbong.”
“Oh, it’s nothing much, sir.”
“So our current split is seven to three?”
“That’s correct, sir.”
“Hmm. Show me the ledger.”
“Right away!”
Danbong had kept meticulous records, selling crops even during Almond’s absence.
The ledger included the profits from the Songsongi’s harvests as well.
‘Once the Songsongi arrived and the fertile soil expanded, the profits skyrocketed.’
The first spike came when I sold corn, and the most recent surge occurred when I sold crops harvested from the Songsongi’s soil.
These two points marked the greatest revenue increases.
‘Hmm.’
Almond nodded and began his calculations.
Since I was confident in numerical computation, I could quickly determine that the profits from agricultural products thus far were comparable to the price of the fertile soil I’d initially lent to Danbong.
Raising Danbong’s settlement ratio was the right call.
However…
“But how are you settling accounts with the Songsongi?”
“Ah… well…”
Danbong’s eyes darted around.
“…?”
“Ah… hehehehe.”
He scratched his head as he spoke.
“Since they didn’t say anything about it, we’ve just been keeping it for now.”
hahahahahaha
This bastard’s adding fuel to the fire lol
A corrupted Danbong… lol
Black sesame pickled radish, so cool.
Nah lol did you go shopping lol
While everyone else clicked their tongues at Danmuji’s darker nature.
Only Almond perceived the light within that darkness.
‘This bastard…’
His eyes gleamed as he gazed at Danmuji.
“You’re quite the talented middle manager.”
-?
-???
-…?
-Aseng’s kind of talent
Hahahahahahaha
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
Well, the guys below are tightening things up on their own lol
-ly
Danbong, who ended up getting recognized ㄷㄷ
“Ah… um, I’ll settle up right away… huh?”
Danbong, who expected Almond to say something, was startled and asked back.
‘What?’
Danbong, who had never worked at a company, couldn’t even imagine it.
What he’d done to Songsong and the others so far was actually exactly what all CEOs wanted!
Tap.
Almond placed his hand on Danbong’s shoulder.
“You… have talent.”
“…!”
“You’re the war department manager now, right?”
“Y-yes, sir.”
There are only 4 employees, so try to remember them lol
It’s like you’re asking as if the company has 200 employees lol
Hahaha the executive’s acting is goat hahaha
Hahahahaha
“How are you preparing for the war?”
“Ah, yes. Once the Knight Order recruitment is finished, I plan to assign the sharpest new recruits to the war planning department. And I’m thinking of having some of them change classes to miners so we can secure as much obsidian as possible from the mining dungeons. If that happens….”
And so on and so forth.
Danbong rattled off countless plans.
Almost none of it was actually entering Almond’s ears.
‘So he worked hard, roughly speaking.’
Almond nodded his massive head in approval.
“Good. I’ll raise it.”
“!”
“6 to 4.”
Danbong jumped up and bowed his head.
“Oh, thank you so much… huh?”
Wait?
Wasn’t it supposed to become 5 to 5 once I paid this back?
Danmuji’s memory was a bit hazy.
“I… well, at first I owned all the land myself… and we were supposed to split it fifty-fifty….”
“?”
Almond tilted his head as if asking what I was talking about.
“The 6-to-4 split right now includes not just the land that was originally at Danmuzip, but all the production output from the fertile soil?”
“Ah…?”
“If that’s what you want, then just a 5-to-5 split on what comes from your own land….”
“Ah… no, that’s not it!!!”
I see.
Danbong was startled.
I’d been wondering what all this talk about middle management meant.
‘So I’m getting paid out for all the fertile soil profits from Songsong and the others… and Mosol too?!’
This was essentially no different from being an executive at a major corporation.
This would be several times more profitable than the previous 5-to-5 split.
“I… I will dedicate my life to you! My lord!”
Thump!
Danbong cries out while making a deep bow.
Hahahahahahaha
Hahaha
Loyalty comes naturally lol
-Haha~
“Right. Gobong should be arriving soon.”
Danbong thought this was a signal for him to withdraw.
“Yes. I’ll take my leave.”
“No. Where are you going?”
It was Almond who was leaving.
He stands up from his seat.
“?”
Danbong was confused.
What kind of situation is this?
Gobong still needs to negotiate his salary.
Where are you going?
“I just saw your talent and restructured this company.”
What are you talking about.
Restructured the company.
More than that, was it even a company?
It’s a Knight Order.
“Huh? That… that changes so easily…? No, I mean, th-thank you?”
Danbong’s mind short-circuits from the sudden meta shift.
A former pro gamer’s social life ㅠㅠㅠ ㅋㅋㅋ
SMEs/small companies lol the company’s meta changes every single day lmaooo
-Hahahaha… Danbong…
I wonder if Almond was like this when she first came to the company too ㅠ ㅋㅋㅋ
-But seriously, what is he even saying?
“You’re handling the salary negotiations from now on.”
“…Excuse me?”
Almond had just transferred his authority to Danbong.
“You decide how much to pay Gobong. Of course…”
“Of course…?”
Danbong followed up with a skeptical expression.
But he already had a hunch about it.
Forty percent of the total revenue.
The reason this incredible deal had come through.
“It comes out of your salary.”
“…!”
-Hahahahahahahahahaha
-Hahahaha
-This is literally feudal society lol
-What kind of structure is this haha
-Truly a godly small business lol
“You fool! Did you really think I was just handing over all that revenue?!”
Almond was trying to pass the difficult task of cutting someone’s salary in front of them to Danbong.
“Ah, oh my! No, of course… I did suspect there would be a price to pay…”
Danbong didn’t want to do salary negotiations either.
‘Is he trying to make me the villain again!? There are already posts on the community calling me a scumbag!?’
But then Almond said this.
“There’s a good side to it too, Danbong. Depending on how well you negotiate the deal, your earnings could grow astronomically.”
“!”
That’s when Danbong’s eyes wavered.
Creak.
The Danmuzip door opened.
“I’ve brought the fertile soil~ Almond-sama~~~!”
Gobong’s energetic voice echoed through the shop.
“Good work.”
Almond passed by Gobong and left the Danmuzip.
“…Huh?”
Gobong’s expression became bewildered.
He quickly turned to look at Danbong and asked.
“Wait, what, what is it? Didn’t you negotiate the salary!?”
Danbong had been hanging his head for a moment.
As if accepting something, he slowly lifted his large head.
And I spoke to my viewers.
“Something has awakened within me.”
“…What?”
Haha, f*** it lol
Hahaha
lol that’s far away
-Danbong is pregnant?
It’s done lol
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol lol lol lol)
Hahahahaha
“There will be no salary negotiations.”
“What… what do you mean….”
“There will only be Bongbong negotiations.”
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text. It appears to contain Korean characters followed by what looks like keyboard characters or corrupted text (ㄷㄷㄷ), making it unclear or incomplete.
Bonbon negotiations lololol
Bonbon is having an internal conflict ㅠㅠ
Civil War is crazy.
-Almond: Now you two kill each other
After finishing my explanation to the viewers, I slammed the table as a signal for Gobong to come over.
Thud.
“You’re negotiating with me. Let’s start at 1%.”
“?”
Hahahahahaha
-1% lol
The life of the top 1%… wow.
Hahahahaha, are you crazy?
Hahahahaha
