The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 163
52. The Birth of the Great Lord (3)
Nolchima’s premiere had concluded.
The total view count from just the premiere alone was 220,000.
“Wow…!”
Department Manager Jang and his employees gathered in small groups, watching and marveling.
“The firepower is completely different from Episode 1!?”
The initial view count after Episode 1’s premiere was around 50,000.
This was already quite high for the Cheese Official channel.
Episode 2 was substantial even without the “Cheese Official” label.
“Starting with over 100,000 and reaching 220,000!”
220,000 views from the start.
This was a figure only top-tier content creators could achieve.
#Trending Video 15th Place
It had already entered the 15th position in real-time trending.
No one knows OlTube’s algorithm.
Industry speculation suggests they weight how many people explosively flood in at that moment more heavily than total view count.
At least the Trending Video ranking clearly operated on such a mechanism, true to its name.
The fact that something just uploaded ranked this high proved it.
“Wait, is this the overall category ranking!?”
“Ohhh…!”
The tag currently attached was the overall category ranking.
In the gaming category alone, it was in the top 5.
“Episode 1 must have been decent?”
“That’s not it.”
Tap, tap.
Park O-hun pointed to the thumbnail as if the employees didn’t understand.
“The thumbnail itself has a completely different brightness to it.”
The thumbnail featured Almond’s joyful face plastered across it, very large.
Of course, it was his real face, not his Seok character.
This was also the production team’s intention.
After all, compared to Episode 1 with Doughnutz’s face, Episode 2’s protagonist was Almond anyway.
Why not feature Almond’s face once?
While it’s difficult to attribute all these views solely to that, the effect was definitely there.
-I came to see the face in the thumbnail but there’s just a 2-headed pixel fragment…
└2222
└333me too lol
-Wak! Big Almond! Bite and kill it!
└???
└Calm down
hahahahahahaha
As the view count climbed, comments began pouring in like a flood.
Before long, the best comments had already formed.
-This place will become fertile soon too…
hahahahahaha
lol that’s real
The great man’s kindness is amazing.
The view count is getting crazy~ lol
└What does this even mean???
The best comment was a meme that hadn’t even appeared in the video yet.
First-time viewers were confused by it.
Best comments tend to be upvoted by people who share the same understanding, so they’re mostly written by those who know all the inside jokes.
-The Agricultural Cooperative came running at potato-selling speed.
hahahahahahaha
hahahaha
-It came flying like an arrow shot by the Benefactor.
“Subtitle: The Birth of Dae-gam lol I haven’t even watched it yet but I’m already excited as hell”
-It came running at the speed Mosol became fertile.
The top best comments were mostly like this.
The reactions from first-time viewers were still lingering in the lower ranks.
-Wait, he suddenly becomes the Farmer King here?
Hahahahahahaha
What the heck is this lol
Acorn jelly keeps saying the same thing… what on earth is she talking about? lol
└Seems like he came out to do that
└Once he gets hooked on conspiracy theories like that, he’s always like this
I’m so curious about the next episode, for real.
What the hell is even happening here lolololol
Many people were curious about the next episode.
The preview that appeared briefly at the end must have been quite impactful.
They normally didn’t include previews, but it was Park O-hun’s suggestion to add this one.
“Oh….”
The employees looked at Park O-hun and expressed their admiration.
“Hm, hmm.”
Park O-hun shrugged his shoulders.
“Getting excited over a few comments.”
Department Manager Jang scoffed and scrolled down further.
It’s hilarious how non-selected personnel are getting eliminated, paprika lol
“Non-existent unscreened personnel lol”
It’s an almond special edition lol so funny haha
-Is that really Almond from Kingdom who shot an arrow at someone’s head for 100,000 won…? My heart swells with pride…
-I’m older and don’t know much. Is this the former national archery player Sang-hyun Yu who was active in that international competition? I’m becoming a fan and looking into him. But his personality seems to have changed? His head’s gotten a lot bigger too.
└Sir, don’t watch from now on…… You’ll only be left with scars.
└Hahahahahahahaha
└His personality changed lolololol
└It’s probably a roleplay concept…… (?)
└His head’s gotten a lot bigger lol it’s definitely a concept lol
.

With the view count skyrocketing explosively, all manner of comments were flooding in.
Department Manager Jang, scrolling through the comments, swept his hair back and reluctantly spoke.
“Well, regardless, the performance looks good.”
Uncontrollable smiles were spreading across the employees’ faces.
“Not enough for a performance bonus, but should we have a company dinner?”
“Are you going to that all-you-can-eat place again!?”
“The food there is delicious!?”
“Yesss!”

* * *
Cheese headquarters was beginning to recognize that the response to Episode 2 of Nolchima was skyrocketing.
“The view count trends for this Nolchima video are extremely favorable.”
This agenda came up immediately in the morning meeting.
“Episode 2, with the subtitle ‘The Birth of the Great Sage,’ features the story created by Almond……”
As the content of Episode 2 was presented, the expressions of the gathered people became starkly divided.
Two managers who had argued for bringing Almond in even at a higher rate.
Juhyeok and Ao-seong Go.
“Ha!”
“Hehe.”
The two of them held their noses high like Pinocchio, with no end in sight.
Dongryeol Park and Ojinhyeok, who had presented opposing opinions, deliberately averted their gazes elsewhere.
“…Currently at 500,000 views, with over 5,000 comments, and the response is very positive.”
Until the presentation on Episode 2 of Nolchima was complete, this stark contrast in expressions continued unchanged.
Cheese’s CEO, who heard the presentation.
Dahee Chae.
“Hmm.”
She nodded and had no choice but to acknowledge it.
“Almond did a proper job?”
Her gaze automatically turned toward Department Manager Ju, Juhyeok.
“Department Manager Ju strongly argued for bringing him in? Well done.”
“!”
Yes!
Juhyeok clenched her fist beneath the table, thrilled with excitement.
It was rare for the CEO to offer such direct, open praise.
“What we prepared wasn’t bad either, but thanks to Almond’s bold twist, we ended up with much more entertaining content.”
The rivalry dynamic between Paprika and Cheese had diverged significantly from their initial expectations.
But that was the true essence of sandbox games—the world shaped by the participants themselves.
In a sense, Almond was the player who understood and enjoyed sandbox gaming most authentically.
“We’re about halfway through now, so the Cheese Village team will have their hands full until the content wraps up. What about preparations for the next platform tournament?”
The meeting moved on to other agenda items.
“Yes, we’re coordinating smoothly with the Paprika side. The event is set to be Ril Survival Battle, and the server host will be…”

* * *
A long yawn escaped her.
Jia had just woken up after making videos and sleeping.
She scratched her head while staring at the computer still running.
“Ah… I should have turned it off before sleeping.”
Her computer was starting to show its age, so leaving it powered on every time felt burdensome.
On one side of the monitor, a graph tracking view count trends was still running.
From when it first went up, it had drawn a beautiful, steady upward curve…
“Huh?”
It had definitely been a slow, steady climb before.
Boom.
Then at some point, it skyrocketed to an absurd level.
The subscriber growth trend had always been climbing steadily too.
Boom.
It had exploded.
Jia blinked, wondering if she was still half-asleep.
[1.28 Million Subscribers]
Almond’s channel had barely crossed 1.2 million after the international tournament.
During the Ghostbusters content, it had maintained the 1 million range.
Was it 1.21 million when Cheese Village started?
“…”
Suddenly, 70,000 new subscribers had appeared.
“Seventy thousand?!”
It wasn’t easy for subscriber counts to jump this dramatically after hitting a million.
There had to be some external factor at play.
Jia quickly reached that conclusion, and sure enough, she found that Episode 2 of Ghostbusters had been uploaded.
And right there on the thumbnail was Almond’s face, prominently displayed.
Episode 2—where Almond was the star of the massive collaborative content featuring all the streamers.
The subtitle is “The Birth of the Great Lord.”
“Wow.”
It was an incredible rise to prominence.
This was entirely different from the national tournament.
In the national tournament, Almond was the only famous person, and it was originally an unpopular event.
It skyrocketed through the narrative of the fake national team, Joseon’s squad.
But Cheese Village is different.
It was a blockbuster from the start.
A blockbuster content created with proper initial investment by Cheese, a major platform controlled by the massive funding source Jayber.
And now I had become the protagonist there.
Becoming famous through a Korean work and being discovered by Hollywood is completely different from landing the lead role in a Hollywood blockbuster.
In Almond’s case right now, it was the latter.
Even if Nolchima didn’t get as many views as the fake national team, there’s no honor like this in the streaming world.
Since I was enjoying such prestige in a place where all mainstream streaming users watch, the subscriber increase was inevitable.
“But, I knew this would happen.”
Jia chuckled and opened her video folder.
Jia herself was experiencing most vividly the influence Almond had brought to Cheese Village.
There was so much to edit that even her personal channel didn’t have enough content.
She had already intuited that they would need to produce a special Almond edition for Nolchima.
Still, seeing it like this with her own eyes was impressive anew.
[Nolchima EP.2 The Birth of the Great Lord]
[930,000 Views]
#Trending Video Rank 5
“The video itself is performing incredibly well. So it was Department Manager Jang after all… who created this.”
Generally with this type of content, personal channel views are higher than the official account.
Nolchima was like that until episode 1.
From episode 2 onwards, it seemed like it might not be that way.
The current view trajectory was unusual.
And all these unusual views were flowing into Almond’s channel.
-I gotta check out Almond’s version lol
-Farmer King lol what even is this lol gonna get spoiled and come back
-It’s already all up on Almond’s personal channel lolol
-As a Nut Clan member, I recognize all these faces~
-Watched Almond’s personal channel lol this guy is literally a different game I’m dying lolol the streamers I watch just do farming and fishing so I had no idea lolol
Hehe.
Jia read the comments with delight, then turned her eyes back to the source footage in the folder.
“…When will I finish all this.”
I hoped Almond wouldn’t cause any major incidents today.
“Probably since everything’s settled now, it’ll be peaceful times, right?”
In Jia’s mind, the Agricultural Cooperative was already in a groggy state, and Jello was scheduled for execution.
I thought all I needed to do was wait for Lee Bang-won’s era to pass and have Sejong ascend to the throne.
Of course, I had to see whether things would actually unfold that way.
And─
Ding.
[Almond has started streaming.]
Almond turned on his broadcast.
