The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 5 Episode 154
48. Business Like Family (1)
“Sigh.”
Juhyeok exhaled deeply as he scrolled down.
“Mixnuts is going to have to work really hard.”
All of Goguma’s fans seemed to think that signing with Mixnuts was a mistake.
Jia had tried to comfort me, but with reality being this way, my spirits sank again just as quickly.
“Don’t tell me they’re going to move to a different community or something?”
I checked the Streamer Garden with a worried heart.
Fortunately, there was nothing about Goguma.
Instead, there was a post like this.
1st) Almond’s Insane Donation Video from Yesterday
“Ah…”
I sighed.
“Money… money really is the ultimate bait.”
Journalists had a cheat code they used when they wanted to generate meaningless clicks.
Celebrity so-and-so’s 1.5 billion won building with 900 million won profit… and so on.
In reality, when you click in, there’s often little substance, or compared to that celebrity’s actual income, it’s nothing at all.
Even knowing this, people click on the articles once, and somehow end up reading comments that are absolutely seething with anger.
That’s how much money is the ultimate topic for capturing people’s attention.
The Streamer Garden was no exception.
4th) Almond Who Became a True Daegam – Recent Donation Ranking Status.jpg
7th) Yesterday’s Jetpump Big Spenders – Carpet Bombing kkk
1st, 4th, 7th.
In this place that covered issues for all streamers, there were actually three posts about Almond’s donation earnings ranked in the top 10.
-Wow
That’s actually gonna work??ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
He’s a ghost when it comes to making money, for real.
I thought I’d at least nerf a baseball or tease them, but I guess that’s why I can’t make money ㅠㅠ
-Daegam daegam
I’m jealous of that.
-Thousands a day or almost? Wow
-Wow
-Almond Ham was this much???
-Gasp…
I’ve heard about it, but to that extent?
-“Clever Youth” that’s right?
lol lol lol lol lol
“This kind of thing becomes too much of an issue, and it’s not good.”
Money was an easy topic to attract attention, but it was just as easy to breed jealousy.
Streamers naturally check donation rankings among themselves, so there’s no avoiding it.
But for fans to learn about this creates a burden on image volatility.
‘Strange people might gather around this.’
I scrolled through the comments, watching carefully to see if anyone consumed by jealousy was doing something odd.
That’s when I noticed a peculiar comment.
“…Huh?”
-Gobong’s Shake company is doing well
└For real kekekeke
└I was worried but the Leader seems fine at this level
└If you had a conscience, shouldn’t you be worried about Almond who took Gobong away?
└For real kekekeke
└Lol kekeke
-Goguma Shake was the one who broke the contract kekeke
What was this about?
I was dumbfounded.
‘…Suddenly?’
Just ten minutes ago, Goguma’s fan board was saying the Mixnuts contract was a mistake, that she was being fooled, that going to her older sister’s company was the worst—wasn’t that what they were saying?
But now they’re saying the Mixnuts contract was the right call.
‘It’s probably just community humor.’
I figured fan boards and community boards had different atmospheres, so that explained it.
So I checked Goguma’s Cheese fan board again.
In that brief moment, new posts had taken over the top spots.
[Gobong was excited because Almond’s donation ranking is 1st place]
[Almond’s sponsorship that burst yesterday was legendary]
[Almond’s donation explosion shorts are fire]
Posts about Almond’s donation ranking had spread here too.
‘What?’
Surprisingly, the sentiment had completely shifted.
[Almond is god man hundred <<< For real this was insane upvote]
-For real kekekeke
-Starting with me~
-Kekekekeke for real
-Goguma Shake had a reason to be so excited kekekeke
-Honestly at this level even "got my bag" deserves an upvote
└Kekekekekekekekekek
└Why did they steal the bag…
└The Daegam took the bag kekeke
These people had definitely been negative about the contract.
Just dozens of minutes ago, they were.
"…What? It changes just like that?"
[That's why the elders say if you're going to be a servant, serve in the Daegam's household~]
[Goguma actually made a good choice for once lol]
[You just need to receive the Daegam's grace. That's all there is to it]
"Huh?"
Juhyeok felt deflated.
For a brief moment, I had been agonizing alone over how to improve Mixnuts' perception in reality.
"So it would've been fine as long as Almond earned a lot?"
The problem could be resolved this easily.
Mixnuts hadn't changed, but their perception was shifting.
"Well~ that's how it's always been."
Juhyeok recalled something.
People were always like this.
When I first started as a manager, how did my colleagues at the company view me?
They mocked me for being a parachute manager.
But after the national tournament, once I went around doing interviews as a successful planner, what changed?
The way people looked at me became completely different.
"Geez."
Juhyeok let out a relieved sigh and leaned back in his chair.
"It wasn't a big deal."
Since this was the first time Mixnuts was being mentioned directly by other fans, I had apparently been overly tense.
Looking back, it might not have been such a big deal after all.
'Still… I should prove it.'
But through this opportunity, I clearly felt how ordinary people might perceive Mixnuts.
What they said was definitely Mixnuts' weakness.
'I need to make this content succeed.'
I wanted to prove it.
That this was a company where other streamers could comfortably join.

* * *
'Continuing to place 1st from now on?'
Ever since then, Danmuji found it difficult to focus on anything else.
The Coach's words kept echoing in his mind.
'But she's telling me to figure it out myself?'
This was an exhibition match.
There was no need to hold back.
It was even a scrim for the exhibition match.
He knew that clearly.
'She's talking about 1st place like it's obvious….'
The Coach's words kept jabbing at something inside Danmuji.
1st place had never been a given in his entire life.
Yet it seemed so obvious to her.
It was possible that Danmuji was being overly sensitive about the number one.
But he wasn't the only one who felt it.
"But seriously, how can she just tell us to get 1st place like it's nothing…?"
Hong-cha was also looking at Danmuji and asking.
'Why are you looking at me!?'
Hong-cha seemed to think that Danmuji had to do something for them to place 1st.
'I have no idea either.'
But Danmuji couldn't figure it out.
What exactly did she teach him that she's entrusting him with this?
He'd listened carefully to all the feedback.
"…Jia!"
He couldn't figure it out.
Was he forgetting something?
"Danmuji!!"
"Ah, yes!?!"
Snap.
As he snapped back to attention at the sound of his name, he realized they were already inside the airship.
"Aren't you watching the route? You need to check the map!"
It was Almond.
Almond was shouting.
He was normally someone who rarely raised his voice.
"Ah, ah…! Yes!"
Danmuji had truly been lost in his own world.
-What's happening
-Why is he like this
-Lag spike?
-Huh?
-Danmuji, snap out of it~
The chat is flooding in like bamboo shoots after rain.
'Insane.'
Danmuji rushed toward the map.
Still, the mental control from his professional days remained, so even while breathing heavily, he could read the map accurately.
But—
'Too late.'
The conclusion wasn't good.
Their airship had deviated from the optimal route.
This happened occasionally.
"What's wrong? Your eyes got bigger."
Almond stares at me and asks.
-Oof
-How did he notice?
-What is this, dynamic vision oof
-You gotta be Almond-tier to notice Danmuji's eyes widening;
-?????How did he notice?
-Physiognomy deduction really is Almondil oof
-Danmuji's Mother probably didn't even notice
"Ah… well… the good spots are already behind us. It's fine. We can find them in the next one…."
"We're doing a split anyway."
That again.
Danmuji nods vaguely and stares intently at the map.
'Damn it, if we miss the optimal location… isn't first place already out of reach?'
Starting off on the wrong foot makes things far from easy.
While thinking this.
Almond speaks again.
"Forgot? We can't go optimal anyway."
"…!"
That's right.
It was.
After resting, I'd forgotten how the last match went.
The Split team explores terrain that other teams find difficult to traverse, hedging their risk.
But since it's a split, the returns are naturally huge.
"Pick one. Hurry."
-He's not even choosing, just rushing us kekeke
-Please wait a moment
-Nut Shake kekekeke
The viewers think Almond is nagging him.
'It became clear.'
It wasn't Danmuji.
He still hadn't grasped what Choi Sa-rang was ordering him to do.
'She said I did the Split well.'
There was a reason Almond kept bringing this up.
The only thing Choi Sa-rang had praised was the Split.
Why was I trying to complicate such a simple matter?
'She's telling me to play like I did last match! You idiot!?'
1st Place was always something special.
That was the basic formula ingrained in Danmuji's mind.
But for some reason, Almond didn't seem to think that way.
He was simply reading the path laid before him and continuing to explain it.
Danmuji's hand moved.
Tap—
"Here."
He pointed to a location on the map.
"Two-person team to this spot."
"Okay. Let's get Lemon ready. Perfect timing if we drop now."
"Roger that~!"
Almond and Lemon rushed toward the airship door and jumped out.
"We're going here."
Tap.
Danmuji decided on the three-person team's drop point.
"Goguma. Are you listening?"
"Y-yeah… I'm listening. I'm trash, but I've got ears…"
"Then answer me, damn it!"
Wham!
Danmuji kicked Goguma from behind, and Goguma's descent began.
"Aaaaaaaah~!"
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahaha
Wow, the pickled radish got its energy back ㅠㅠ
-Gobong really is the best medicine~
Danmuji jumped out with Hong-cha as well.
Whoooosh…!
Falling through the air.
Hong-cha gave Danmuji a thumbs up.
"Oppa. 1st Place. Let's go."
Hong-cha seemed to have noticed Danmuji's anxiety.
Danmuji grinned and nodded.
"…Okay!"
Thud!
Danmuji, Hong-cha, and Goguma descended to their designated location.
"Phew. I'm trash, but I landed properly. Got a problem with that?"
"Just shut up."
-Kekekekekekekek Gobong kekek
-Is Goguma obsessed with trash now
-Kekekekekekekekek so entertaining
-But the thing is, he really IS trash…
-Will Gobong steal the Iron Ball again this time? Then he's really trash
Danmuji naturally took the lead and found a sacred relic box, opening it.
Creak.
Several sacred relics spilled out.
Hong-cha picked up a gun from the weapon box—this time, precisely—and spoke.
"So what's our route this time, Leader?"
"We're going for the low-tier vault first."
"…Oh. What's the occasion?"
Danmuji looked at Goguma and said.
"Do one more trash move."
"…Huh?"
"Let's grab the Iron Ball first."
…
-Kekekekekekekekekekekekekek
-Whatkekekekek
-Again????
-Wow kekekek
-They said to watch out for snake eyes…
"Oh. Right. That works great during splits. Since you're already trash, might as well go full trash. Bro."
Hong-cha pushes his back while giggling.
"I'm trash. But like…"
"Cool."
Danmuji nods, grabs a spear, and tosses a shield to Goguma.
"…No, let me finish what I'm saying…"
"Let's go. He said he'd go trash."
"Roger~"
