The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 264
93. A New Leap (3)
When Mosol asks how to get a girlfriend, Almond’s expression becomes slightly troubled.
“Ah… Mosol. Are you really Mosol?”
-An ambiguous question lol
-Is it asking if he’s a true lifelong single or Most Solia lol
-There’s a nickname that becomes a roast no matter how casually you ask it!?
-Yeah it’s true lol
-He’s a genuine Mosol. In every sense.
It really does seem like he’s a true Mosol.
Almond stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment.
“A girlfriend, well… First of all, thank you for the 100,000 won.”
-Thanks first lol
-I don’t know about your girlfriend, but thanks for the 100,000 won~
-Poor Mosol lol
Almond tried to answer something, but the next question comes in.
Ding.
[Curious has donated 100,000 won!]
[Do you still keep in touch with your friends from your archery player days?]
‘That’s the person from earlier.’
Curious was the person who first suggested doing a Q&A.
It seems they applied for the Q&A because they wanted to ask this question.
“Another 100,000 won in a row. Thank you so much.”
A viewer who spent 200,000 won just to ask a question. Almond decides to answer this question carefully first.
“I didn’t contact my friends for a while, but recently we’ve been back in touch.”
-They contact you because you’re successful?
-Did they find out about you again because of the stream?
-Mosquito~? lol
-Eeeeeeek.
There’s some room for misunderstanding in what Almond said.
It’s probably because he shortened it too much. It wasn’t like his friends contacted him because he succeeded or anything.
“It’s not like they contacted me because I became successful. We were originally close, but I deliberately cut off contact with them.”
-I see
-Wait, why?
-Ugh Mosol, what’s with you lol speak clearly—
-Walnut, clean this all up here!
The public opinion shifts again in an instant.
Almond is used to it by now.
“I blocked everything so I wouldn’t think about archery at all. I didn’t watch the Olympics, and I didn’t watch the news anyway. So I didn’t even know that Hyeonju won the gold medal.”
-Wow… Were you struggling that much.
I’m crying / Sob sob sob
They deliberately blocked everything ㅠㅠ
[Jangsachi donated 1,000 won!]
[Why didn’t you do something like Coach?]
-That… the question lacks sincerity.
-Why didn’t you do something like ten thousand won?
-A donation that lives up to the username ^^
-Put some heart into it!
Some chat members criticized the relatively small donation amount.
But it was all just meant to be taken as a joke anyway.
Almond didn’t particularly manage them and simply answered the question.
“Like I said before, I didn’t want to do anything related to that. I’m not really cut out for the Coach style anyway.”
-Wow, you actually answered that?
-What did you make Almond say with just a thousand won?
-Shy Yeopo threw in a million won and got away with just one headshot.
-Tsk~ is this business or what?
[Jangsachi donated 5,000 won!]
Thank you for your answer ㅠㅠ I’m a college student so I don’t have much money… It seems like you would have made a lot if you had done coaching, Almond. I was curious why you didn’t.
“There were times when I struggled to make ends meet… but I just couldn’t bring myself to do that work. I wanted to keep my distance from it.”
In a way, it could have been a foolish choice.
But for Almond back then, it was an ordeal too difficult to overcome.
‘I’m remembering those days a lot.’
As I exchanged questions and answers, memories of that time naturally came flooding back.
After this, trivial questions continued to pour in with substantial donations, and most of them were about Almond’s past.
It was nice that donations were coming in generously.
‘But I can’t just keep talking about this.’
Almond decided to cut it off here.
“My past is pretty much already organized on OldTube, so I don’t have much more to share. Don’t you have any questions about the Nanteu match?”
Then, a familiar donation came through again.
[Mosol donated 200,000 won!]
[H-hey, hyung. How do you get a girlfriend? Please teach me.]
Hahahahahahaha
Ask before the Nantes match lol
-Gichan… grow up.
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text as it appears to contain corrupted characters, typos, or non-standard Korean text that doesn’t form coherent words.
“Monosodium glutamate lol”
-What is this, Dormammu?
The chat window, which had been flooded with tears, was now filled with laughter.
“Ah… I forgot about that earlier. My apologies.”
Almond laughed awkwardly and scratched his head.
I had completely forgotten about Mosol’s question.
“Well, Mosol. Thank you for the 200,000 won. It varies from person to person, but… you’ll meet someone naturally.”
But inevitably, an unsatisfying answer comes out.
Honestly, it’s not a question with a definitive answer.
-???: It just happens, doesn’t it?
-Breaking News) Almond’s girlfriend appears naturally
-“Almond, girlfriends just materialize out of thin air.”
-Don’t spend money on that, put it toward dating expenses instead lololol
But Mosol didn’t give up.
[Mosol donated 50,000 won.]
[Do women dislike men who play games? What kind of men do women like?]
It’s the kind of question young people would ask.
-lololol is this guy in heat lol
-If he’s 20, that’s understandable lol
-And asking something like that here… women wouldn’t like that, Gichan…
-How does this nutcase know? He said all women have liked him since birth!?
“…It doesn’t seem related to gaming at all. It probably varies from person to person. Anyway, thanks for the donation.”
-Breaking News) Almond, “It doesn’t matter to me.”
-Why does every word feel like a personal attack lol
-Mosol, you think you’ll meet someone doing this here?
Countless jokes pouring down on Mosol.
Almond, unfamiliar with this kind of chat, wondered if he should say something more.
‘Maybe I should give a better answer before ending this.’
He’d received 150,000 won, so he wanted to give something resembling an actual answer before sending him off.
“People who are reliable and responsible tend to be popular, don’t they? Setting aside appearance since that’s personal preference…”
-Personal preference? lololol
-You just casually left out the most important thing lol
-Name? Almond. Preference? Appearance.
-Breaking News) Almond, my hobby is faces
-Call Walnut right now! Almond’s getting caught lol!
-Popular people’s hobby is appearance… taking notes…
The chat erupts at the “appearance preference” comment.
“Ah, taste. I mean taste. Appearance isn’t really that important. If you look around, you’ll see that’s true.”
Almond laughed awkwardly and scratched his head.
-That’s true lol
-Honestly, a man’s appearance isn’t that important.
-It’s the beauty and beast couple cliché lol
Just as the chat seemed to be agreeing with Almond’s opinion.
A donation comes in that ruins everything.
[Cute donated a whopping 500,000 won!]
[Flustered almond so cute ㅠ]
“A whopping 500,000 won…! Thank you so much.”
That’s crazy lolololol
-Mosol… did you see? Don’t ask him for relationship advice
-Oh, so that’s his hobby. Taking notes….
Ah~ it’s not really important, but among today’s donations, one of the top three priced donations was ‘cute’ lol
At that, Mosol sent an additional donation.
[Mosol donated 1,000 won.]
[You deceived me.]
What did you expect lol
It’s hilarious that it dropped to a thousand won lol
The broadcast chemistry between those two is so good lol
“Mosol. Thank you. I never deceived you… it really isn’t that important….”
Pababababam!
[Yuin donated a whopping 1,000,000 won!]
[I’m a newbie who came after seeing the story! You look so much more handsome in live! Kyaaaaaaah!]
A moment of flowing silence.
I can’t translate this as it’s not coherent Korean text – it appears to be random characters and laughter symbols (ㅋㅋㅋ).
-Immediate counter-proof
-Refuted!
-Mosol run away quick! This isn’t the place for you!
Despite his embarrassment, Almond still offered his thanks.
“…A whopping 1,000,000 won… thank you so much. I should do something… hmm….”
With 1,000,000 won just dropped, I couldn’t just say thank you.
He pondered for a moment, then thrust out a hand heart and shouted.
“Chiki-cha!”
Crazy lolololol
What’s up with you all of a sudden lol
-So, that means you beat Mosol, right?
Lol the solo extreme damage is insane ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
You’re too much ㅠㅠ
I’m dying laughing
After this, Mosol didn’t donate anymore.
It seemed he’d left the stream.
After that, other Nantjeon team members came in.
[Hong-cha donated 300,000 won!]
[Among the Nantjeon ADCs, who was the hardest to face?]
You already know the answer, lol
-Is this for real?
Even green tea and black tea have come up ㅋㅋㅋ
-Hahaha
This really feels like an after-party, haha
“Ah… of course it’s Hong-cha. Thank you so much for the 300,000 won donation!”
-Info) Only the last part was sincere.
-Hong-cha is still a Challenger, so it’s only natural
Ding.
[Greentea donated 350,000 won!]
[Among the ADCs in the Nant match, who seemed the best? Excluding Almond]
“It’s Greentea!”
Crazy Nut Shack lol
It’s true that the “gyeon” in nuts comes from the character for dog and grows!
Wow, his reaction speed and physicality are insane lol, in just 0.01 seconds
[Hong-cha donated 600,000 won!]
[I… I didn’t mishear that, right?]
“I think skill follows your rank.”
-Info) Hong-cha is a Challenger, Greentea is a Master tier.
-Almond changing his mind in almost a single frame! We got the clip!
-Is, is this Almond’s way of handling things?
-Almond speaks well
But did those guys fight again? Why are they like that lol
“Green Tea, why is this guy being so petty and losing rank like this? lol”
[Serious Buff donated 10,000 won!]
[Everyone… in this place where Mosol just vented his sorrow about not having a girlfriend, do you really have to have a couple’s quarrel? Haven’t you ever thought about Mosol’s pain even once? What if in 10 years mana really does flow through my heart, trembling so anxiously, this young…]
Cut.
The donation cut off mid-message.
The viewer even got hit with a 30-minute silence penalty.
“Long messages aren’t allowed.”
-Instant cut!
Man, this is pure physicality lol
Isn’t this walnut’s physical ability? lol It’s brain-ical.
-Long messages aren’t allowed, 10,000 won isn’t enough.

* * *
‘The response is quite good.’
Juhyeok smiled as he watched the broadcast.
There was the awkwardness of an after-party style talk show that Almond hadn’t done many times before. On top of that, there must have been the burden from the overwhelming amount of attention.
Almond was doing well.
He exchanged questions naturally, and the over 100,000 viewers who had initially flooded in were maintaining almost entirely until now.
‘I did well to slip the word to Hong-cha, Greentea, and Mosol.’
Juhyeok also had a hand in the success of the after-party broadcast.
He had pretended to be a viewer and slipped into another broadcast to mention beforehand that Almond was starting a stream.
Since Almond’s current viewership was so high, naturally they would have wanted to participate spontaneously.
With their support, Almond’s broadcast thrived, and he earned more money as a result.
Ding!
[Balloon Gum donated 200,000 won!]
[Wow! Almond! Let me teach you the reel!]
Hahahahaha that comment
-Gum! Gum! Gum!
-Wow Gum bro!
-Wow! He really seems like he’ll teach well!
-Right! Almond doesn’t know reels!
As time passed, Balloon Gum, who had now started his own broadcast, stopped by Almond’s stream.
He mentioned the ‘that statement’ clip that had once wallpapered his room, drawing laughter.
After that, they connected their Discord and shared various stories. Miho and other members also joined in, and even Danmuji stopped by in the middle.
By the time this broadcast ended, the viewer count was 150,000.
It wrapped up with an impressive number.
“Man. You did well.”
Juhyeok leaned back in his chair and murmured.
“The ending was really great….”
A sense of satisfaction washed over me.
The Nant Tournament championship, and even the after-party—the Balloon Stars members gathered again and wrapped it up with such impressive viewership numbers.
It didn’t seem like it could get any more satisfying than this.

* * *
The next day.
I woke up in a good mood from the morning.
The power of being number one on AllTube’s trending list was tremendous.
‘Subscriber count, view count… everything’s skyrocketing.’
Even if it’s just a temporary spike, once you hit the top, not only do subscribers increase.
Countless people get to know who Almond is.
‘And to think I hit number one with a video revealing my past…’
This was encouraging.
I had hit number one with a video of extremely personal content—revealing my own past.
In other words, a video explaining who Almond is had taken the top spot.
Which meant people could remember me far more easily now.
-Oh, that archery kid?
-The guy who hurt his arm and became a streamer?
-Oh, I know him. He did archery and became a streamer… and he won a gold medal too.
This way, having a backstory attached is far easier for people to remember than just knowing the name and face of Almond.
Like how mothers remember their children’s friends by where they’re from and what they do.
And there was more.
[Jia: Juhyeok! This is insane! All the highlight videos from the Nanteu Tournament are hitting over 500k views!]
The view counts on my other videos were also skyrocketing.
‘This really means I’ve gained real fans.’
The newly arrived viewers were watching all of my gaming videos.
This was a sign that this current buzz might not be a one-time thing.
‘Especially the Nanteu Tournament videos are going crazy.’
The Nanteu Tournament highlight scenes that had been uploaded after the embargo lifted.
Whether it was because Jia had been preparing throughout the entire tournament period, the videos were currently recording higher view counts than my other content.
Some of the blink-strike play scenes were even approaching a million views.
And this was without even 24 hours passing.
And the good news didn’t end there.
‘Hm?’
While brewing a cup of coffee and habitually opening my email, one message caught my eye.
[Hello. This is the PD in charge of ‘Evening Wide’ from channel SCB.]
A contact from a major broadcasting channel.
