The Genius Archer’s Stream Season 5 Episode 108
34. Ril’s Special Inspection (1)
Juhyeok always works hard, but today he stares at the monitor so intently it feels like his eyes might bore through it.
‘Because this is the first guest appearance….’
A guest appearance.
It might seem like nothing special.
But in reality, it’s a massive shift for the broadcast.
‘A privilege that only a select few streamers with solid foundations among major corporations possess.’
Think about the fundamental nature of internet live streaming.
It’s a place where the streamer’s individual energy and charisma determine success.
Viewers come to listen to that streamer’s voice, watch that streamer’s gameplay, and have fun with them.
In other words, even during collaborative streams, viewers maintain their focus on that streamer’s perspective.
Everything revolves around the streamer.
‘But guest appearances are different.’
With guest appearances, everything is reversed.
The focus shifts to the guest—introductions about the invited person, who they are, what they do, and so on.
The streamer steps back.
This is a form of business expansion.
Running a broadcast solely on your own energy has limits, so you borrow from others.
It’s like a neighborhood restaurant growing into a franchise.
‘It’s an incredibly risky transition.’
A neighborhood restaurant and a franchise are completely different concepts.
If you carelessly attempt guest appearance content, you end up failing at both and going under.
That’s why Juhyeok stares so intensely.
‘Hmm….’
So what are the results so far?
‘Excellent.’
Currently at its best.
Sanghyeon’s proposed format is appropriately compensating for the guest appearance’s weaknesses.
The focus isn’t on King Gul but still on Almond.
How will Almond grow intellectually? This narrative is the center of this lecture’s guest appearance.
Meanwhile, King Gul drives the flow.
Since it’s educational content, naturally the teacher will speak more, right?
Then Almond can simply ride along comfortably.
Look at the broadcast right now.
‘Sori is doing all the shouting, and it’s King Gul.’
King Gul is the one consuming a lot of energy.
He’s releasing everything like a fish in water.
‘Almond brought it to this point.’
Others might not know, but Juhyeok does.
This was all according to Almond’s plan.
Perfect design executed perfectly.
‘To have this level of instinct.’
Juhyeok inwardly marveled.
It was Juhyeok who had always wanted to do more guest content, yet it was also Juhyeok who failed to push it through properly.
He simply couldn’t grasp how to unfold it.
Sanghyeon caught the thread that he couldn’t grasp.
By becoming the Foolish Youth, he seized that fleeting moment no one else saw.
‘It’s instinctive. As expected.’
There were times like this even when he was at Aseng.
Always seeming to lag slightly behind, yet suddenly bringing something no one else thought of, making everything flow smoothly.
‘Is it because he grew up freely…?’
Juhyeok believed this was a characteristic of people who grew freely by their own will since childhood.
Completely different from his own life, which was manufactured like a planned product from the start.
“”
A bitter feeling washed over him.
Why didn’t I think of this?
“Well… good is good.”
At least Almond’s stream is going well right now, so that’s fine.
It seemed this question wouldn’t let go of Juhyeok for a while.

* * *
“Aaaaaaaah!”
After King Gul’s shout that made the studio ring.
“Huff… huff…”
King Gul calms his chest and explains again.
“Safes are high-risk, high-return, you know. You can’t just pick them carelessly. What about leveling while cracking the safe? The basics of survival matches are just leveling. Leveling.”
“Ah… leveling…”
Almond draws a star shape in his memo.
The funny thing is there’s no text after the star shape.
Just stars.
-What are you doing with the memo kkk
-Show us the memo once, Almond~
-kkkkthe memo is just doodles?kkk
Regardless, King Gul explains enthusiastically.
“Look, yes. It’s true that the safe location is good. See? But other teams would think the same way, right? Then instead, right next to the safe, at a good quality hunting ground, hunt quickly and then harass from the safe? That’s a strategy too. Much more realistic, actually.”
King Gul draws many scenarios on the screen.
“Oh…”
Almond’s eyes sparkled.
Since it was a match he had once messed up, he seemed to concentrate well.
‘Choi Sa-rang is completely different.’
Sa-rang’s feedback was never this detailed.
After all, she wasn’t the type to explain things to someone who didn’t want to learn in the first place.
Her role was simply to make Almond want to understand.
“Why is this realistic? Why do you think?”
“…Why do you think?”
“On the way there, prey, prey! Creeps! Creeps! You have to catch creeps to level up! That’s how you play the game! What is a survival match!?”
“…What, what?”
“Leeeeeeeeveeeeeel!”
Thud thud thud thud!
The script papers slam repeatedly against the desk.
-Kekekekekekekeke
-My ears are gonna burst kkk
What are you doing, taking notes? lol
Hahaha, this is so funny!
-What was that note for earlier kkk
-My head keeps getting bigger?
-It’s lodged in my ears (literally)
The energy and volume were incredibly enthusiastic.
“Ah… Level.”
Almond had trained to shoot arrows even when bombs exploded beside him, so he wasn’t particularly startled.
He simply took more notes.
That scene became a comedic moment for the viewers instead.
-Dude, you’re so annoyingly calm kkkkk
-Does Almond not have hearing?
Lol why are you staying so calm lol
-Kkkkkk King Gul’s voice is being wasted
The passionate lecture from King Gul, the legendary instructor, continued.
In the middle of his explanation, King Gul casually asked.
“Didn’t Coach give you feedback like this?”
He was puzzled why he was the one explaining this.
-Kkkkkk He did kkk
-He must have?
-He even went into the room of truth?
-There’s no way he didn’t;
“I heard that when you checked the chat, you went into the room of truth… one-on-one.”
“Yes.”
“Who is Coach?”
“This person.”
Tap.
In a photo from the international competition that Almond had brought to show off, I pointed to one person.
A woman in a wheelchair.
“What!?”
King Gul’s eyes widened in shock.
“This person… is she good at Ril too?”
“Yes. She’s better at Ril. Probably.”
“!?”
-wait what
-better at ril?
-gasp
-shocked
-better at ril?kekekeke
-what kk
-huh?
“Of course, she doesn’t have professional experience.”
“…”
For some reason, King Gul couldn’t take his eyes off the woman in the wheelchair for a long while.
“Can you teach us again, Teacher~”
Almond made the request, deliberately trying to shift his gaze away.
-?
-what’s with the aegyo kkkk
-aegyo is so annoying
-teach us~
“Ah, yes. Then let’s go.”
King Gul came to his senses and returned to his task.
“Almond. Here, the map appeared. Try planning out a route.”
“Ah, yes.”
Swish, swish, swish.
“Like this~ swing by the vault and grab the turtle and…”
“For crying out loud!”
-the vault again kkkkkkkk
-no kkkkkk the vault kkk
-he loves the vault so much kkkk
-he lost to popcorn so now he thinks the vault is so good
King Gul flipped his eyes back and activated Kang-sin’s technique.
Kwakwang!
He jumped up and shouted.
“What do you mean ‘swing by the vault like you’re cutting through meat’!? The vault isn’t what! Huh? Is it some neighborhood doghouse!?”
“…Is that… not okay?”
“Foolish Youth! You bastard!”
-Kekekekekekekekekekekekeke
-Kekekekekeke
-Foolish Youth, you bastard kekeke
-For real kekeke
-Seriously hilarious kekekeke
-Haha
-Getting smart is really hard…
“Again!”
“Ah, then from here….”
“Good.”
“Like this… controlling around the safe while also applying pressure….”
“No! No! Just erase the safe from your head for now! How many times do I have to say it!!”
“…But the safe is strong.”
“You’re not swinging at all! Your head! Not at all!”
.

Flinch.
Sarang had been excitedly typing in the chat when she suddenly startled and pulled her hands away.
[Who is the Coach?]
[This person.]
Click.
It was because of her own image that suddenly appeared.
[Is this person good at Ril too?]
[She’s even better at Ril. Probably.]
For some reason, from that moment on, Sarang stopped typing in the chat.
Even though it was a stream accessed from a computer with an ID that no one could recognize as her.
For some inexplicable reason, she didn’t touch the keyboard anymore.
And so her interest in the stream faded.
Because it was turning into a full-fledged educational broadcast.
It was all content she already knew anyway.
“Well… it was fun.”
It was only fun when hitting Almond on the head and scolding him.
Now there was no thrill to it.
Click.
As she exited the broadcast window, the Cheese platform’s UI greeted her.
[Lecture Special) Still, the Mind Works. With King Gul.]
[Current Viewers: 243,000]
Coming out to check, I could see Almond’s broadcast status clearly.
#Real-time Donation Ranking 13th
#Real-time ‘Ril’ Category Viewer Ranking 2nd
Impressive.
I never expected it to reach this level in the early days of streaming.
“Only Jello is ahead.”
Excluding the era when viewers exploded like popcorn during the Cheese Village days, this was Almond’s all-time peak performance.
The gap between him and Jello wasn’t that significant anymore.
“What about the other teammates?”
Scritch.
I had to scroll down several more times to find them.
There was definitely a big difference, except for Hong-cha.
People said even this surge came after the Knight Order content.
The thought that struck me immediately.
“This could make him difficult to handle.”
In the professional world, gaming skill comes first, but in the streaming world, viewer count is the priority in much the same way.
The reason Danmuji and other streamers get swept up in Almond’s strange orders probably has something to do with this halo effect.
Then a memory suddenly flashed through my mind.
“What? Was I like that too?”
Had Sarang’s teammates perhaps been unable to speak up properly because of my influence?
“Those bastards wouldn’t have done that.”
Sarang shook her head as if unwilling to admit it.
She wheeled herself toward the terrace and opened the full-length windows wide on both sides.
Going outside, she lit a cigarette.
Click.
With the lighter ignited, she stared blankly down at the green lawn below.
‘Summer’s coming soon. Already.’
Summer.
It was when the hottest league was unfolding in the pro scene.

* * *
Just as King Gul’s passionate lecture was coming to an end.
Clap.
Almond suddenly shifts the topic.
“Well, now that we’ve learned the theory so well, I thought we could try something different.”
“…Did you actually learn it?”
King Gul looks puzzled.
As if perfectly timed, Almond speaks up.
“Yes. To confirm that, we’ll be going on a field trip.”
“…Where to?”
“To the Shadow of the Abyss.”
-Haha kekekekekekekeke
-Kekekekekekekek for real
-Wow kekeke actual combat?kekeke
-You’re going together???kekekeke
-No way kekeke
“…Me too?”
“Yes. A field trip needs a teacher.”
King Gul was extremely flustered.
“Ah, no… I… I’ve already washed my hands clean and retired….”
-Kekekekekekekekeke
-What a thug kekeke
-Seems pretty uncomfortable
-Now it’s the foolish youth’s turn~
-Kekekekekekekekekekekek
-Once they go in, Almond’s gonna mess with him kekekeke
-Role reversal, perfect against King Gul
Clap!
King Gul claps excitedly as if he’s figured something out.
“Wait, there’s no capsule room here!?”
“Ah…?”
“Right!? You’re going to a capsule room? Ahahaha! Maybe next time….”
Almond smiles again, as if he’d caught him perfectly.
“There is one.”
“What?”
“Four of them.”
“Wow, you really made a lot of m─”
King Gul tries to escape by mentioning earnings.
But there was another prepared card.
“And they’re completely free!”
“!?”
Almond suddenly speaks directly to the camera.
“Divers has sponsored us! They’ve set us up with their entry-level line.”
That was it.
This was an advertisement setup all along.
-Clever Youth lol
-Damn
Lol, I keep getting cards
-Breaking news) Clever Youth revived through ad revenue transfusion!
“This time we have the new Divers Offshore~ product. It’s much cheaper, lighter, and more accessible than the professional line DCS…”
King Gul was thoroughly exploited and dragged into the capsule in despair.
“Now… with the Divers Offshore. Drop!”
“…”
“Drop!”
“I’m… dropping!”
King Gul entered the capsule reluctantly, tears streaming down his face.
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahaha lol hahaha
Why are you so lacking in confidence in actual practice, teacher? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Suddenly the roles reversed lol
