The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 152
53. Jia’s Effort (1)
About three hours before Almond’s broadcast chaos.
Juhyeok sipped on a pear drink for hangover relief while monitoring Almond’s streaming numbers.
Then──
Pfft!
He spat out the pear drink he’d been drinking.
“What, what!?”
It was because of the kiss scene that appeared at such an unexpected moment.
If Juhyeok reacted this way, what about the viewers?
It was nothing short of a massive uproar.
-Explain yourself! Reina! Explain yourself! Reina! Explain yourself! Reina!
-Almond! I’m dying! Almond! I’m dying! Almond! I’m dying! Almond! I’m dying!
-I’m collecting my donation back~!
-Mom! I’d rather die than not be Almond! Mom! I’d rather die than not be Almond! Mom! I’d rather die than not be Almond!
-This can’t be happening…
-I’m going to play Story Mode right now
Above Juhyeok’s glasses, the chat messages scrolled up in a frenzy. The chat window was practically paralyzed by the sheer volume.
“Wow… is it really this bad?”
He was surprised too, but the chat’s reaction was genuinely brutal.
So many messages were crossing the line that Juhyeok’s hands had to move constantly.
As he skillfully banned users, Juhyeok marveled at something.
‘He’s staying focused through all this.’
Almond wasn’t even glancing at the chat, completely immersed in Story Mode.
Perhaps because of that?
[Current Viewers: 12,000]
The viewer count had climbed to 12,000.
‘He’s recovered all the viewers lost from the game switch.’
This was the highest viewership since the start of the relay, rivaling Battle Large’s golden age.
Perhaps Almond was on the verge of entering his broadcast’s second golden era.
All of this in just two days of playing Reel.
‘If he pulls off a 3-star clear now?’
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot.
If Almond managed a 3-star clear right now, his broadcast might just reach its absolute peak.
And Almond’s party was on the verge of clearing it.
-Did they really do that to Yuria?
-Is this some kind of pleasant rebellion or what!?
Go go minions fighting ㅠㅠ
Oh no, Mort! ㅠㅠ Did Mort leave?
In what appeared to be the final gate of the 3-star clear—a confrontation with the Contractor—Almond seized victory.
Through Almond’s and the Minions’ spectacular teamwork, they had strung up Yuria for execution.
-Waaaaaah!
-That was insane
-What physicality!
-Almond’s sword skills are incredible too, reminds me of when he fought Pungsna one-on-one
-Wow…
Oh my god, please marry me, Almond!!!
After that, Bart appeared, and when Almond made his sacrifice, the chat became an absolute sea of tears.
Later, when Reina’s backstories were revealed one by one, and when the discussion turned to Damian.
‘This is a massive success….’
[Current Viewers: 15,000]
In the end, on this day, Almond set a personal record for viewership.
‘At this rate, I’ve really established myself as a comprehensive game streamer, haven’t I?’
What comprehensive game streamers worry about most is losing viewers when they switch games.
That wasn’t a concern for Almond right now.
To attract even more viewers just two days after switching games.
‘This is genuine talent.’
If this wasn’t talent, what else could it be?
“…But what’s he doing now? Switching games again?”
But right now.
Almond had drawn all the viewers in with the relay stream, and was now launching a different game.
Battle Large, to be exact.

* * *
-Are they finally operating with a two-game format?
-??? Battle Large?
-Why Battle Large all of a sudden?
Haha, I think I know what you mean haha.
Almond had already launched Battle Large without anyone noticing.
Before the viewers could even catch on.
I found myself in a familiar helicopter cabin.
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud…!
The roar of the propeller echoing loudly.
“Jump, jump, jump!”
“I said jump, you bastards!”
As always, NPC soldiers were barking orders from behind.
-Wow, today’s broadcast is insane
-So he’s finally becoming a two-game streamer?
-Is this when you finally start streaming properly? Almond?
-Wow this is fire, Keen King and Battle Large!!!
It’s not impossible, right? ㅠ
Like other comprehensive game streamers, many viewers enjoyed watching two different games in a single day.
‘I can’t handle two games for my health.’
Their prediction was, unfortunately, completely wrong.
Almond didn’t launch Battle Large to actually play the game.
“I’m doing a reaction.”
Tap.
Almond spoke while assuming a falling position.
Lol, there’s a streamer who turns on games just to react to them!?
-You see that, Baera’s minions? Your game is just for suicide^^
Hahaha, the first place runner commits suicide?
-Ahhh, this is Almond alright
“I can’t make first place. It’s tough so I’ll keep it short.”
-???
-Huh?
-Where’s the bow?
-Is he doing something else?
A reaction without a bow or arrows.
This was rare in my streams. No, it had never happened before.
However, if I’d received about 3 million won, I had to put on this kind of performance. That’s what I thought.
“This time, I’m the arrow!”
With those words, I threw the parachute bag away.
“W-what are you doing!”
“Hey! Are you insane!”
The NPC Soldiers cried out as if voicing the viewers’ collective thoughts.
Thud!
Regardless, Almond plunged downward without hesitation.
“Thanks for the donations, everyone──”
With a scream, he became an arrow and fell.
Whoooosh──
The harsh resistance of the wind. Even so, Almond’s eyes widened as he locked onto his target.
The target: the crown of the head of the person who jumped first.
Hahahahahahaha, that’s hilarious.
This guy’s for real, lolololol
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
-Bullet Mondeum lololol
-This man… what about as a cannonball?
Hahahahaha, so you’ve literally become a ‘bow’ now? Hahahaha
Swoooosh!!
The air split apart as Almond’s body plummeted, striking precisely against one Player’s head.
“Ugh, wha—what the—”
That unfortunate Player ended up tied with Almond for 100th and 99th place.
[100th Place]
[Tough luck!]
A ranking rarely seen appeared, and his stream ended.
[Stream Ended]
As always, it came with the broadcast’s conclusion.
-You know what? People die when they get hit by Almond.
Nah lol, what crime did the guy who was right commit lol
-This is ‘survival’. Only the strong survive.
-You know what? Almond dies when he gets hit by money.

* * *
Hisssss──
The capsule opened after a long time.
After a while, Sanghyeon crawled out, drenched in sweat.
Juhyeok, who was about to hand him a towel, stopped himself.
“Damn… this isn’t something a towel can fix.”
He spoke in a teasing tone, but worry crept in nonetheless.
Ironically, Juhyeok’s livelihood now depended on Almond, so he couldn’t help but care.
‘He really should get proper treatment at a hospital, shouldn’t he?’
Whoooosh….
Listening to Sanghyeon’s shower, Juhyeok fell into contemplation.
‘Tomorrow’s the appointment, but can they really fix something he hasn’t been able to use for ten years?’
Anyone could guess that Sanghyeon’s excessive sweating was related to his right hand.
After all, Doctor Hana Song had said before that ‘doing his work for him is causing his physical stamina to deteriorate.’
The problem was that some nerve or area in the brain that controlled his right hand was blank.
Could starting medical treatment suddenly actually solve this?
‘Even a single-player story game is at this level….’
Juhyeok tossed a large towel into the capsule while thinking.
At this rate, his content limitations as a streamer were far too severe.
‘What would happen if he entered a streamer tournament?’
For now, everything would only become clear after visiting the hospital.
“I’m going to bed first.”
Juhyeok shouted that toward the bathroom, then entered his room.
He immediately collapsed onto his bed and habitually checked his phone.
Community reactions filled the screen.
[BigPro]
BigPro was where issue threads were collected within RelPro.
‘Something came up….’
He hadn’t expected much when he looked.
But there was an unexpected result.
“This is…?”
Something Juhyeok never would have thought of was receiving enormous attention.
[The Worst Streamer on Earth Almond & Passionate Arcane Archer Reina Kiss Scene]
[Big 1,910] [Reel 970]
The recommendation count ‘Big’ was approaching a whopping 2,000.
Normally, posts exceeding 100 recommendations could enter the BigPro board.
Considering that, this was tremendous firepower.
-Damn, that bastard really does everything
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This guy is seriously pissed offㅋㅋㅋ
Lol a passionate bowmaster getting owned
-The Contractors booked a group cemetery reservation~
Wow, this is really moving ㅜㅜ
-Just go to the convenience store!!! You deceiver!!!
-It’s just a Hollywood cliché kiss but whatever, people are too invested. Anyway I unfollowed Reina lol
-I liked it after seeing Reina’s face but as soon as the gif played I unfollowed.
This story is really, seriously sad.
└No spoilers
└Do you think you could even spoil it? What spoilers lol
.
.
.
There were an enormous number of comments.
Thousands upon thousands of comments were pouring in.
Juhyeok’s eyes grew heavier as he read through each one.
He had pushed himself just as hard as Sanghyeon had today.
‘I guess I drank during the day after all….’
On top of everything else, the daytime drinking had left his body in terrible condition.
‘I’m so tired.’
After checking just this much, Juhyeok finally fell asleep.
When he came to his senses, it was already the next day.
“…ugh.”
He dragged his sluggish body up and stretched, then pulled back the curtain….
“?”
The sunlight was unusually bright today.
“…the sun’s position seems off.”
He rummaged through his blankets to find his phone.
[11:09 AM]
11 in the morning.
The hospital appointment had been at 10 AM.
“…damn it! Hey Sang-hyun Yu!!!”
Bang.
He quickly threw open his door and called out to Sanghyeon, but
there was no answer.
“Hey! Wake up… huh?”
Sanghyeon wasn’t in his room either.
“…did he go alone?”
Juhyeok muttered to himself as he looked down at his phone.
[Sanghyeon: I’m just heading out. Keep resting.]
Sure enough, there was a message waiting.
‘I thought they said a guardian had to be there… or not?’
My memory felt hazy.
Then.
Ding.
[Seojia: Check the group chat.]
A message came from Jia.
‘What am I supposed to check?’
Looking at the group chat, there was a message Jia had sent.
It was telling me to check today’s AllTube video. Wait, why not just say to check AllTube directly?
Bewildered, I entered the channel and found the first Reel video posted on Almond’s channel.
[Reel Almond-0 | Isn’t Reina a broken character?]
[Reel Almond-1 | Here’s how to block Blade Rain with Reina!]
‘Oh… finally uploaded it.’
She said it would take some time because she needed to study Reels. It didn’t take as long as expected.
Did she send that message just to brag about this?
‘This girl has a cute side too.’
Juhyeok chuckled and checked the view count.
The view count was anything but cute.
“What!? Is this real?”
I checked multiple times, but it was real.
[View Count: 297,000]
Nearly 300,000 views were displayed.
On a video uploaded just 5 hours ago.
‘What on earth?’
The answer was in the comments.
-Is this ‘that Blade Rain’?
-That video was Almond lol
-Reckless Warrior lmaooo
-Obsessed with ads lololol
-Wow lol this is legendary
-But it’s a shame it’s a low-level normal section lol If it was in ranked, it would be truly legendary.
-So it was this lol Almond it is
Looking at the comment reactions, many seemed to already know about this Blade Rain blocking video.
Hadn’t the Blade Rain video been an issue on ReelPro before? Back then, the Reckless Warrior had even trended in real-time searches. People were remembering that.
However, most ReelPro users didn’t know that Almond was the Reckless Warrior…
-Wait lol The guy who kissed Reina did this?
-Ah lol That makes sense
-Worth kissing for
-Ah I can’t accept this!!!!
-Almond… I’ll remember you.
Through this Reina kiss incident, Almond had become widely known, and only now did people realize that Almond was the protagonist of the Blade Rain video.
The video uploaded right at that perfect moment, and it exploded.
“Damn… the timing really is impeccable.”
I could only say that the timing was eerily perfect.
The firepower created by overlapping incidents was far greater than I’d anticipated.
Even as I watched, the view count surpassed 300,000.
“But with this much firepower….”
Seeing this kind of impact reminded me of something.
The trending video chart.
What rank would it be?
Just as I was about to check the rankings in anticipation.
Bzzzzzzzz…!
My phone vibrated and the screen switched over.
[Department Manager Punk Oh]
‘Department Manager Oh?’
Juhyeok tilted his head in confusion as he answered the call.
“Yes, sir.”
He usually didn’t call suddenly like this.
Department Manager Oh’s voice sounded urgent.
“Right now?”
