The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 205
69. The Eve of the Storm (3)
Almond had turned on the stream under the guise of communication, but really because of the advertisements.
Just as he was about to transition into a commercial break, this question left him momentarily speechless.
[Whale Whale has donated 100,000 won!]
[Almond, I heard rumors that you used to do archery. Is that true?]
‘I kind of expected this….’
It would be a lie to say I didn’t anticipate this question. In fact, I’d been waiting for it.
So naturally, I had a prepared answer ready.
“Ah, that. I’ve seen it too.”
-?? Archery?
-Not doing archery would be the weird part given that physique lol
-What’s he talking about?
-What is this, someone explain it to me too!
“Since there are people who don’t know, let me talk about it while showing that post.”
Almond immediately logged into Kingchiman and clicked on one of the trending posts.
It was a comparison of an archery athlete’s shooting stance with mine.
-Wow the creator descended
-Home field advantage lol
-The man himself showing up lol
-Wow I’m jealous of the industry recognition
“Wow… you really analyzed this thoroughly. Now that I see it side by side, it does look similar?”
I acknowledged that my stance was indeed quite similar to archery form.
“And that last point you made—’Despite Almond using a classical bow in Kingdom, he employs many modern archery stances… This can be seen as a bad habit remaining from long practice…’—that’s a sharp observation too.”
Since the post wasn’t written by a current professional, there were some slightly incorrect arguments. But the overall thesis was irrefutable.
The fact that I shoot a medieval recurve bow yet adopted a stance quite similar to modern archery was undeniably true. That’s why I changed my stance later anyway.
“Modern refined archery and classical recurve bows really do have major differences. So recently I’ve changed my stance quite a bit.”
My words seemed to acknowledge that I had indeed done archery.
-Wait what, is Almond actually a professional?
-Wow, no wonder he has fundamentals
-Shuba lol so he learned archery
“I did learn archery.”
I admitted to my past experience quite straightforwardly.
Then the questioner asked a follow-up question.
[Whale Whale has donated 100,000 won!]
[Wow! Thanks for answering! Then is Hyeonju Cha’s follow also…?]
“Ah, Hyeonju and I were friends from high school.”
-For real?
-Who is Hyeonju Cha?
-Interview fees are crazy expensive lol
-Who’s that?
-An archer. Olympic gold medalist.
[Fact Murderer donated 1,000 won.]
[Info incoming! Hyeonju Cha is an Olympic women’s individual archery gold medalist! It became a hot topic because she reclaimed the title after three years! She’s known for her good character and appearance—she was even ranked #1 as a potential daughter-in-law at one point!]
-Thank you, Fact Murderer!
-Fact Murderer lol
-That username is scary!
-lololol the concept is hilarious
-Thanks! Fact Murderer!
Almond chuckled and nodded.
“I didn’t know either. I just found out recently. She’s been doing really well.”
-Huh? You’re just finding out now? Aren’t you close? lol
-Not even friends~! lol
Ah, almonds ㅠㅠ
-Al(one)mond lol
-How did you learn archery anyway??
The questions seemed endless.
I decided to wrap up the personal details here.
“I’ll stop talking about my personal matters here.”
-Awwwww~~
-Tell us about your first love!!!
-Ah~~ Teacher~~
-Boooooo
Jeers and similar comments flooded the chat, but I chose to ignore them.
I could always promise to share more another time.
[Self-Appearance donated 3,000 won.]
Oh! Almond, it’s me! ㅠㅠ I’m the one who posted that analysis! ㅠㅠ I feel so honored! ㅠㅠ
“Ah, Self-Appearance. Thank you. You’ve really lived up to your username twice over.”
-lololol facts
-Wow, I’m jealous lol
-Jealous of being a true fan!
We achieved the necessary and sufficient conditions for the nick value lol
“Anyway, about my personal matters—I have an interview scheduled, so I’ll talk about it there.”
I smoothly transitioned the conversation to the upcoming event.
-An interview?
-What interview?
-Is this finally when you’re meeting with the National Demian Association?
-National Demian lol
“No, not the National Demian Association. It’s an interview with Polis, the reel production company. We scheduled it for right after winning.”
The viewers didn’t understand at first. More accurately, their brains couldn’t keep up with their ears.
It’s a phenomenon that occurs when someone says something utterly absurd as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
-Unknown
-What?
The viewers who belatedly understood showed their respective reactions.
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won!]
[You can win! That’s amazing!]
[Shy Yeopo donated 10,000 won!]
[You can do it!]
“Thank you, Rubisword and Shy Yeopo.”
As always, there were fans cheering for Almond.
-Championship interview lol
-All-time kimchi broth
-Kimchi-colored audacity lol
-Insane audacity!
-Insane audacity!
There were also viewers who took a jab at him, saying he was drinking kimchi broth prematurely.
There were also viewers sending playful donations.
[Danmuji donated 1,000 won.]
[I will remember this moment… Almond.]
Of course, Almond was now a 10,000 won streamer himself.
He wasn’t falling for such jokes.
“Oh. But that’s fake, right? There’s no way you’d send just 1,000 won.”
However, he wasn’t completely certain, so he asked with a confused expression.
-Startled lol
Ugh, I’m going crazy ㅠㅠ
-Almond: 1,000 won is fake.
-Obviously not real
-For a moment I thought it was real lol
-It is real. Real! Drop!
-And recognizing it as 1,000 won is hilarious lol
Seeing the viewers’ reactions, it seemed Danmuji wasn’t actually the one, so Almond felt relieved internally.
‘People will obviously think Danmuji is going to win.’
While he spoke as if winning was obvious, he still had a grasp on reality.
The Godanbaek team was clearly the strongest in terms of current power.
‘Out of 13 wins and 5 losses in scrims, 2 of those losses were to Godanbaek…’
We had played a total of 2 scrims against the Godanbaek team.
The results were all defeats.
The Bottom was a former Challenger player regaining his past form, and the Mid was a pro who had only recently retired.
The balance was completely off.
Balloon Gum’s realistic goal should be aiming for second place.
‘Still, I need to aim for first place….’
Aiming for first place was purely my own ambition.
“Anyway, you understand? I’ll tell you about it during the championship interview.”
I wrapped up this topic as well and moved on to the main point.
“I received a 500,000 won donation last time, but I didn’t react to it. So this time!”
Snap.
I held up my phone.
“I’m thinking of trying a reaction in Reckless Warrior! Wouldn’t that be fun?!”
Now I was about to start an advertisement.

* * *
The chat began scrolling rapidly as the advertisement suddenly started.
-Getting paid to react and then getting paid again!?
-Money duplicates when you’re a streamer! Money duplicates when you’re a streamer! Money duplicates when you’re a streamer!
-This crazy guy gets a salary and then brags about the salary he got from somewhere else as thanks!
Haha, are you really doing this?
-Why wouldn’t he?
-Are you doing a collab with Miho?
“I don’t think I can do a collab. This game is completely solo.”
‘Reckless Warrior Raising,’ shortened to ‘Reckless Raising,’ was following the exact formula of a typical pay-to-win mobile game.
The characteristic of these games is that there’s not much benefit to playing together.
It only makes sense when you face each other in combat.
I synced my phone with the computer and opened the mobile game screen.
“I’ll just start alone.”
A character selection screen appeared.
“Look at this. This is the Almond character.”
Characters were divided into paid and free. Of course, the Almond character was paid.
“You just need to buy this as soon as you enter.”
“No way, this crazy bastard ㅋㅋㅋ”
Forced sales lol
Teach me properly, damn it lol
“So I appear with these short legs. The head is really big. It looks good for reactions. Seems like I’d hit even if I just shoot randomly.”
-A streamer who sees his own big head and gets excited about a big target….
The moment the ad started, my energy went through the roof lol
-I’ve never seen Almond talk this much… I’m excited… Always advertising…!
Since the Almond character was paid, it started at 3-star from the beginning.
[Almond ★★★]
It was a character that took the archer position, and among the 3-stars, it had decent stats.
“The feature of this game is that these characters have incredibly advanced artificial intelligence. All we have to do is supply them with resources and give simple commands.”
The game progressed not just with me alone, but by gathering multiple colleagues.
What’s remarkable is that the artificial intelligence is exceptionally sophisticated.
Just like real living people, discord can arise between these allies, and their combat effectiveness diminishes if the environment isn’t properly maintained.
“Supply support is incredibly important here. Since I’m receiving gems right now, let me quickly construct some buildings in the surrounding area.”
For example, if there isn’t enough food for the soldiers, they can’t perform at their best.
“It’s not just the soldiers that matter, you see? That’s why we need to purchase a Chef character like this too. True to his name, these heroes have reckless personalities, so if we don’t provide this kind of welfare, their temperament deteriorates.”
Clink.
Almond immediately purchased the Chef and positioned him in an appropriate location.
He had already constructed a kitchen for the Chef. Once that was done, the Chef began cooking as he pulled out ingredients.
Almond’s avatar in the game ate the food and broke into a wide smile.
“When satisfaction increases like this, combat ability improves significantly.”
After that, Almond advanced his avatar through the stages one by one.
Stage 1.
At first, it was simply killing a single goblin, but the numbers kept increasing after that.
As he progressed through Stages 2, 3, and 4, increasingly stronger monsters began appearing.
Short-legged Almond struggled as he engaged in fierce battles with the monsters.
Was it around Stage 8?
Thunk!
A Dark Elf’s arrow pierced Almond’s head, and he died.
“Ah. This isn’t a mistake, right? It’s a reaction.”
Almond brazenly claimed this was merely a reaction.
-???
-Insane lol
-For real, he got caught lol
-He’s just glossing over it like that?! lol
“So. Almond needs another soldier ally. For that, we need gems….”
For a first-timer, Almond proceeded through the advertisement with considerable skill.
Still, he showed the effort to clear up to Stage 25. For reference, Balloon Gum kept dying at Stage 15 and gave up.
After finishing the Reckless Warrior advertisement broadcast.
“Ah. And the advertisement I filmed aired.”
It was another advertisement.
“It’s an Almond Snack advertisement. This tastes good.”
-Another ad!?
-National Institute of Korean Language: “The character for nuts uses the character meaning ‘dog'”
-Oh but I wanna see it lol
In the end, Almond even played the Almond advertisement.
It was a video that had been completed and sent two days ago.
The video began with a sunset office rooftop as the background.
-Wow the ad looks great
-For real, that’s a professional ad
-Damn
-Looks like a fatigue recovery drink commercial
The reaction was good from the start.
Munch. Munch.
The best reaction came from Juhyeok’s expression as he chewed and swallowed after Almond, his face twisted in anger.
-Hahahahaha
-Is this the guy who got me kicked out? I’ll remember that…
-The manager’s working hard lol
-That’s actually genuine though?
-Hahahaha
Manager, you’re so unreliable ㅠㅠ
Almond chuckled and played along.
“Juhyeok is quite the actor.”

* * *
While Almond’s broadcast was in full swing.
Danmuji was also streaming.
It wasn’t a gameplay broadcast either, but rather a communication stream discussing tomorrow’s tournament.
Then.
Ding!
[Jjamppongmon donated 10,000 won!]
[Video donation) Almond’s recent comment lol]
A video donation came in for him.
When he played it, it was a clip of Almond talking about an interview.
「It’s an interview with Poliece, the reel production company. We decided to do the interview after winning. I’ll reveal personal matters then.」
A bold statement filled with confidence about conducting a championship interview.
“Ah, so it’s Almond.”
Danmuji showed no signs of being rattled, responding like a true professional.
“So you’re saying you’ll never reveal personal matters? I’ll make sure to protect your privacy thoroughly.”
-Hahahahahaha
-Wow, what a pro
-Compared to Reel Champs Trashy Talking, this is nothing~
-Danmuji! Danmuji! Danmuji!
Danmuji brushed off Almond’s provocation lightly, and the next day arrived.
The first day of the league.
