The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 140
45. Gothuber Assemble (2)
“How bold of you to challenge me to a battle of wits.”
I expressed great confidence, but the viewers didn’t trust me one bit.
This wasn’t just Gaji-bokkeun, who was naturally rebellious by nature.
Ding—
[Rubisword donated 30,000 won.]
[How dare you challenge… it’s a default victory anyway…]
-Lmaooooooooooo
-Ignoring the rules…lol
-Is that how it works lol
-Default victory lol
-???: Just go up without challenging!
Even Rubisword, my number one loyal supporter, doubted me.
In truth, anyone would.
Especially those who had watched Almondil’s deduction game.
So much so that even the Knight Order members, not just my viewers, were filled with suspicion.
‘Can we really just do what he says?’
‘Honestly, I’m anxious.’
‘Balloon Gum and Almond teaming up for a water fight…?’
And of all people, the one I was calling to conduct this battle of wits was Balloon Gum.
“Um… Balloon Gum… are you really contacting him?”
Danbong asked to confirm once more.
I knew he had the ability of a storyteller.
‘But honestly, we were only given friendly knights because of a misunderstanding in the first place, right?’
Balloon Gum was someone who overturned the board regardless of his intentions.
For Danbong, a former pro gamer, making such a person an ally was an unthinkable decision.
Balloon Gum was most reliable when he was the enemy!
“Yeah, send the DM.”
“Um… forgive my boldness, but sir…? May I offer one word of counsel?”
“What is it?”
“You’re about to conduct a cooperative battle of wits with Balloon Gum right now… isn’t that right?”
“That’s right.”
A battle of wits and Balloon Gum and Almond all in one sentence!
How could he not sense something was wrong after hearing this?
‘A formidable opponent.’
Danbong didn’t give up.
Now he was one with the Knight Order.
He couldn’t retreat like this.
“Um, do you know what they call a situation like this in Chinese idioms? Haha…”
“Self-strengthening and heaven’s will?”
Pfft!
Hongsong-i couldn’t hold back her laughter and burst out.
That’s not even a proper idiom!
But what Danbong had prepared was no better.
“Dumb and dumber.”
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Are you crazy, single-humped camel lol
-Does Danbong have two lives? Does Danbong have two lives?
-Lol
Almond stared intently at Danbong, his eyes widening.
Oh no, I’m going to die now.
Danbong squeezed his eyes shut.
But an unexpected answer came.
“That… that was an idiom? Is ‘dum’ like the ‘extra’ part of a tomb?”
“…I understand.”
“?”
“I’ll send you a DM.”
He quickly realized the conversation wasn’t getting through.
Haha, seriously lol
The deal didn’t work out lol
Did you think “ja-gang-du-cheon” was a Chinese idiom? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I’m laughing so hard haha, this is hilarious haha

* * *
A moment later.
Balloon Gum stepped out of the house.
“Ah, wait… you’re not actually abandoning me, are you? Right?”
Dotorimuk, who lived with him, worried that Balloon Gum might be joining the Knight Order just like that.
“Brother, this isn’t some special recruitment thing for the Knight Order, right? Right?”
Hahahahaha
Acorn… take it easy, lol
-Let’s just find Owl Black…
-Ugh, why is he being so clingy!
Balloon Gum waved his hand dismissively while peeling off the clinging Dotorimuk.
“No, seriously. Danbong just contacted me. I’m just going out for some tea.”
He was denying it while grinning from ear to ear.
Wasn’t the whole point of Balloon Stars’ Cheese Village operation to make contact with Almond for the platform tournament?
“Ah, brother, but why are you smiling like that~~~! Let me join too! Let me join too!”
Thump.
Balloon Gum shoved Dotorimuk aside and left.
“Get out of the way, you fool! And we still haven’t even found Owl Black.”
Hahahahahahaha
hahahaha
That’s hilarious lolololol
-Sori is really sharp
Crash!
Dotorimuk deliberately fell harder and made a big fuss about it.
“Ouch! I’m dying! I’m dying!”
But it was no use.
Balloon Gum simply stepped on the fallen Dotorimuk with his foot.
Thump thump thump.
“Die already, you fool. When you die, I bet fertile soil will come out.”
“Aaahhh!”
Hahahaha
Hahaha bubble gum hahaha
Looks like you’ve got a lot piled up lol
When I think about how hard I struggled to find Owl Black, it’s hilarious.
-Balloon Gum got promoted and changed…
Ever since obtaining the hidden job, my life had truly changed.
To think I’d even receive contact from a major corporation like this.
[Danmuji: The Director wishes to see you for a moment.]
Hehehehe.
Balloon Gum headed toward the Knight Order with soaring expectations.
“The Knight Order is calling for me~~”
Balloon Gum walked along, humming to himself.
Rustle.
The bushes behind him trembled.

* * *
Dim lighting.
A conference room with an atmosphere like an interrogation chamber.
“You got the kid in place?”
Doughnutz asked the Middle-aged Detective.
“Yeah, he’s trustworthy.”
The Middle-aged Detective nodded, doing his best to maintain the atmosphere.
“Did you explain the objective? We need to catch evidence that Balloon Gum and the Knight Order are in collusion. That’s how we secure a certain victory.”
“Of course.”
Jungtam nodded with confidence and lit a cigarette.
Now the Agricultural Cooperative had produced a farmer capable of manufacturing cigarettes.
“Whoa, fire! I’m telling you, I have real trauma just seeing fire!?”
Ppulranem shouted at Jungtam.
“Ah… well… this is something our Greentea produced, so let’s give it some advertisement.”
“Go outside to smoke!”
Haha, PTSD from not doing it in a while
If you actually get hit with a chikichaka, you seriously lose your mind lol
Actually, you appeared in my dreams too, damn it.
-Almond, that scene…lololol
The memory of being suddenly kicked while caught in the flames.
Ppulranem still hadn’t forgotten it.
The fact that it appeared as a nightmare in reality said everything.
“Ppulranem. How are the farmer coins coming along?”
“Ah, can’t you see? We’re dumping everything into Greentea and we’re already on the verge of the 4th advancement.”
The Agricultural Cooperative was concentrating all the farmer coins on one person, cultivating the 4th class Druid.
That target was Greentea.
Because among the remaining Agricultural Cooperative members, he was judged to have the strongest combat ability.
Coincidentally, his girlfriend was in the Knight Order.
“Distribute the coins to one more person besides Greentea.”
“…What? If we do that, we’ll fall behind?”
“So what. The Knight Order can’t use this strategy because they lack manpower, right? Just Greentea alone feels too risky.”
Doughnutz continued to worry about Greentea.
Even in a game, when your girlfriend is the enemy.
There’s no telling what she might do, even for the sake of viewer opinion.
“Hmm… then who?”
“So who’s actually decent at this?”
“Well… that’s…”
Ppulranem looked troubled.
There were plenty of people, certainly.
But talented ones? That was another matter.
“This communist-style management is why we can’t attract talent, I’m telling you.”
“You’re one of those talented people yourself.”
“…”
Hahahaha, for real
-Donuts lol
-He’s got a point
-The downfall of communism: Ppulranem
It was true.
The Agricultural Cooperative’s production model could support even the weakest members.
Naturally, those with weaker standing flocked to join.
Building up numbers was easy enough, but finding truly exceptional talent proved difficult.
“What about Baeksuk?”
“Baeksuk’s too close with Greentea. The distribution would be uneven.”
“Then… how about Pepper or Pepperoni? He’s a former Grandmaster Jungler.”
Pepperoni.
Pepper for short.
During the Nanteu era, he was the Jungler and leader of the Foolish Deer team.
“Isn’t he just the type who charges in recklessly?”
His playstyle was famous enough that even Doughnutz knew about it.
“The Druid has plant tree forms, but can also transform into various animals. It should work out fine.”
“…Okay.”
Doughnutz nodded in approval.
“In this profession, we must always stay ahead. Understood? Then, let’s wrap up today’s meeting here…”
That’s when it happened.
Boom.
“Ah, I…”
Someone rushed into the conference room.
He was a scout who gathered intelligence on village gossip and rumors.
“Huh? What is it?”
“Ah… Almond…”
“Almond?”
“There’s a rumor that he obtained a legendary class.”
“!?”
In an instant, everyone in the conference room went rigid.
“W-wait, what are you talking about!”
Doughnutz turned on the person who had brought him the news instead.
“It shows up in the server chat! When you discover hidden stuff like that!”
“Well… I’m not entirely sure, but they haven’t completed the class change yet—they only found the conditions. It seems almost certain, and there are quite a few witnesses.”
-Whoa
-Gasp
-Lmao
-Oh
-Sob sob
-Even the class lol
-Is this for real???
-How on earth?
Bang!
Doughnutz slammed his desk.
“Almondil…”
He had no choice but to acknowledge his rival.
“Pretty impressive, huh?”
Doughnutz gave a meaningful look, his gaze fixed on something unseen, striking a dramatic pose.
“But that’s where it ends.”
-Lololololololololol
-Lmao you’re totally posing for the camera, old man
-Classic villain #1 from a sentai show
-Bruh lol what is this, some 2000s drama lol
-Hahahahaha
He had been looking at the camera the whole time.
“Ahem, was it… obvious?”
“Still, it should edit pretty well, right?”
“Right?”
“Yeah, definitely. Looks damn cool.”
The middle-aged men nodded their large heads at each other, apparently satisfied with their own work.

* * *
Knock, knock.
“Excuse me~?”
Balloon Gum arrives at Danmuzip’s storefront and raps on the door.
“Ah, that’s not it?”
He glances at the chat window and corrects his greeting again.
Thud, thud.
“Come on in~!”
Haha, that’s it!
Haha, that’s funny
-ly
Pop.
A commotion erupts from inside, and an avatar with red hair bursts out.
“Huff, huff… P-please come in!”
It seems Hongsong-i, the youngest in that place, has rushed out.
“Ah, yes.”
Balloon Gum enters awkwardly, and Hongsong-i follows him in respectfully.
Click.
The sound of a camera shutter echoes from somewhere in the back.
Of course, it didn’t reach their ears.
After Danmuzip’s front gate closes.
Rustle.
Those hiding in the bushes slowly reveal themselves and move.
Two people.
“Keke, got it?”
“Yeah, of course. You?”
“Me too.”
The two share their photos with each other, snickering.
[Soju]
[Maekju]
The Soju-Maekju duo.
“This should make the collusion look pretty obvious, right?”
“Nope.”
Maekju shakes his head at Soju’s words.
“We’re going to get closer. We need to capture him accepting a bribe through the window.”
“A bribe… but what if he doesn’t accept it?”
“So what?”
“?”
“What matters is making it look like he’s accepting one.”
The media is really messed up.
-Why go this far? lol
-Cheese Village is insane
-Haha omg
-Let’s go through Almond’s gate~
They circled widely, capturing various scenes around Danmuzip.
“Film the fields too. These bastards have massive plots.”
“Wow, their greed is really showing, huh?”
They filmed the Knight Order’s fertile farmland sprawling across the landscape.
After that, they got closer and were able to film even beyond the windows.
“Uh… but it looks like they went to the second floor.”
“Second floor??”
Everyone disappeared to the second floor.
“Go up, go up.”
“Uh, where to!?”
“There!”
It was another resident’s house.
“Damn it…!”
There was no choice.
Backing off now would be too disappointing.
They eventually climbed onto another resident’s roof.
Crouching down, they zoomed in on the window and aimed.
And—
“N-now! That’s it!”
An incredible scene was captured beyond their expectations.
Almond handing a box to Balloon Gum.
Click!
It was captured in the photograph.
And on one side of that window, an enormous expanse of fertile farmland was visible.
“Wow, isn’t this totally Pulitzer Prize material?”
“Wow…”
Fertile land tycoon, Almond.
Colluding with the media.
This photograph naturally evoked such a headline.
“Let’s upload this to the Farmer’s Daily right away.”
If they posted this, it would cause a massive uproar.
The Soju and Maekju duo thought so.
