The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 56
20. Original Gameplay (2)
Hosting.
It’s a feature that sends viewers with nowhere to go to a specific channel when a streamer ends their broadcast.
This is a system officially supported by Trivia.
Typically, it was used by streamers who hadn’t yet gained recognition or newcomers to send their viewers elsewhere.
However, because it often became controversial—used for networking, favoritism, or even extortion—it’s rarely used nowadays except in special circumstances.
[Almond has hosted 18,452 viewers!]
Still, Almond sent his hosting somewhere.
“Huh? Hosting?”
The person who received the hosting was someone who didn’t particularly need it.
If anything, that’s precisely why Almond felt comfortable sending the hosting.
Above all, Almond wanted his viewers to watch this broadcast.
-Gum!
Oh, it’s Gum Hyung-bang! ㅋㅋㅋ
hahahaha
“What’s going on, everyone’s dying as soon as they arrive lol”
We accept refugees!
It was Balloon Gum’s broadcast.
“What? Oh man. Almond, thank you for the hosting. But instead of hosting, if you could help me with that duo….”
Ding.
Almond was already no longer on Trivia.
“…He’s gone.”
hahahahahaha
I’ll never help you lol
Look at how Walnut Shake tried to show off his skills by sending it to Bubble Gum lol
It seems like they sent me to check the original route, but what’s the point if you help me? lol
-Now show us the original Zombie School!
That’s right.
Almond had sent the hosting to Balloon Gum hoping his viewers would see the normal route of Zombie School.
Since he was in charge of advertising, he felt responsible for showing mostly strange routes.
“No, wait. What’s the original Zombie School supposed to be? Ugh, ahhhhh!”
In that moment, Balloon Gum, whose attention was on the chat, had his neck scratched by an approaching zombie.
[Scratched]
[Treatment is needed!]
Ding!
[Refugee has donated 10,000 won!]
[This one!]

* * *
“Sigh… I finally made it back.”
Balloon Gum had endured three scratch wounds before finally returning to the infirmary.
Hahahaha
Half the refugees left because of the spicy food, that’s hilarious lol
-After eating only sweet things like the Nut Fans, how does the spicy Balloon Gum taste?
Nuts alone make your mouth burn lol
In an instant, 5,000 people deleted ㅋㅋㅋ
When the broadcast first started, Balloon Gum’s stream had surged to 70,000 viewers in a moment.
But after watching the frustrating gameplay, 5,000 viewers left, and now it’s down to 65,000 in an instant.
“Ah. Please leave, everyone. I’m too spicy. You won’t be able to handle it. You’ll break all your teeth.”
Hahaha, for real
-Forbes’ #1 recommended broadcast by dentists
Lol, dental clinic back-alley advertising
There’s a saying that watching Balloon Gum’s stream causes dental damage from clenching your teeth in frustration. In fact, conspiracy theories even emerged claiming that the dental association had received bribes.
His gaming skill defies common sense to that extent.
The fact that he defies common sense is similar to Almond, but in a completely different direction.
His stream differs from Almond’s in many ways, not just in skill.
The primary difference in this Zombie School game right now is first and foremost the number of zombies.
-Why are there so many zombies here??
-Is the difficulty different?
This is seriously like a zombie game.
The reason is that Balloon Gum cleared the infirmary. In Almond’s case, Baek Jun-su’s Gang had cleared the infirmary.
They obtained golf clubs and systematically eliminated the zombies.
But Balloon Gum cleared the infirmary himself, making him the only one in this school to properly acquire a weapon.
“…Ah. I have more zombies than him, you say? No wonder… it was so difficult. Did you see? Everyone? It’s not that I can’t do it, right?”
He finished wrapping a bandage around his third wound while spouting shameless words.
Thump-thump
-Crunch… crunch…
-You suck! You suck!
The viewers gave up trying to tell him the truth.
Balloon Gum with infinite positivity.
This is the subtle charm of this broadcast.
“Wahaha! Now that I’ve cleared the infirmary, this is great! I can keep wrapping bandages, right?”
-…said Balloon Gum, who had become a mummy.
Haha, let’s go find a new friend…
Hahaha, it doesn’t look good at all.
Getting injured in the first place isn’t a good thing. Yet this kind of positive thinking—being glad because there are plenty of bandages.
This is precisely why, despite his poor skill, he still manages to clear any game he picks up.
“Since I have injuries right now. I’ll get some rest.”
He lay down on the infirmary bed with the practiced ease of routine and pressed the [Sleep] button.
A moment later.
Seven hours had passed in game time.
It was dawn, dimly brightening just before sunrise.
“Ah. Now I’m really going to do this properly.”
As he slept, I changed out the blood-stained bandages for fresh ones while muttering my resolve.
Of course, no one believed me.
As soon as I opened my eyes, lies lol
-Season 8239: “I’m really going to do this properly”
-???: “Okay, now I’m really going to do this right”
Relentless responses flooded the chat, but Balloon Gum paid no attention.
There was even a theory that his retinas had a filter so he could only see words he liked.
He probably wasn’t reading the chat properly at all.
[Gyeonseut donated 5,000 won.]
[Balloon Gum. Balloon Gum. But why don’t you have any colleagues??]
One of the viewers who had come from Almond’s stream sensed something odd and even donated to ask the question.
Balloon Gum had no colleagues at all.
“Ah. That?”
Balloon Gum showed no sign of being flustered.
Hahaha ‘that thing’ hahaha
lol
-Ah… I forgot about that…
“They all died.”
I had colleagues, but they all died.
It was routine for me.
I’d already replayed this game multiple times. Deaths no longer dealt any psychological blow to me.
Hahahahaha
Lolol / Oh my god lol
-…lol, so this is that kind of game.
-A guy with the mental fortitude of someone who’s regressed ten million times…
Yoo Jung-hyuk from a world where something went wrong.
Balloon Gum brushed past it casually.
“Thanks for the support, everyone. I kept trying the restaurant route, but it’s way too hard, you know? Let me try targeting the convenience store again.”
I had been prioritizing entry to the restaurant for a while, but there were too many zombies on the path leading there.
“If it’s not Choco Pie, I think anything will work. I’ve been eating only Choco Pie and I’ve even developed depression.”
[Melancholy]
I pointed to melancholy in my status window as I spoke.
-Is that really why???
Isn’t it just because you got totally wrecked by zombies and you’re alone? lol
-Could it be that the guy whose body you’re in is depressed about his own skills!?
“Are you seriously picking and choosing from the menu at a time like this? lol”
Hahaha, the sadness of being full/satisfied
He casually dismissed the viewers’ questions and moved toward the infirmary door to assess the situation.
Through the small window gap, there were no zombies visible at first glance.
“Alright. I’m heading out.”
Click.
He opened the infirmary door and stepped outside.

* * *
“Graaahhh…!”
Not long after he left, three zombies approached.
“Phew.”
Balloon Gum took a deep breath, backed away slowly, and lured them in one at a time.
Pretending to flee—
“Yeah. Come on. Come… come aahhh!”
—Whack!
He swung the golf club at its head.
The zombie would either fall or, if he swung properly, die instantly.
But since the one swinging was human, an instant kill was unrealistic. The zombie sprawled across the floor and flailed about, so Balloon Gum’s best option was to swing down with all his strength like he was using a pickaxe.
Thud!
This way, he disposed of all three.
-Wow… that took forever
-Should we come back tomorrow?
Hahaha is that a boss monster or something lol
Since he was being so cautious, the disposal was slow, and the viewers started nagging.
Stop acting like you’re some fancy nut expert and just be quiet, lol.
-This is how it normally is???
-This isn’t that kind of room
But Balloon Gum’s fans were already used to this pace.
In fact, it was slightly faster than the average speed.
Almond was the one who was abnormal.
“Listen up, Nut Fans. That’s F1 racing, and this is off-road. Off-road. Got it?”
That’s perfect ㅋㅋㅋ
Lol, specializing in off-road driving
hahaha for real
He quieted the viewers down for a moment.
Then headed back toward the convenience store.
The convenience store is on the basement level. I need to go down.
While carefully descending the stairs, about five zombies appeared.
“Whoa. Whoa.”
Crack!
Balloon Gum, occupying the upper position, effortlessly sent one thug’s head flying.
-Oh, instant death lol
-Lol
-CEO nice shot!
“Controlling the upper ground gives you the advantage. I’ve got that down pat~”
Crack! Thud!
Eliminating zombies while descending was far easier. Having played through multiple runs, Balloon Gum had mastered this technique.
-There was this much difference?
I just threw out all the nuts and shakes so I have no idea lol
-Ohhh
Balloon Gum effortlessly cleared out five or six zombies.
“There we go~ piece of cake, right?”
He finally succeeded in reaching the basement level.
But then he realized something and scratched his head.
“…Ah. Should’ve taken the west staircase.”
True to his nature as someone with no sense of direction, he’d unnecessarily come down the far eastern staircase instead.
-That’s gum for you ^^
Haha, I chewed it up and swallowed it.
Why didn’t anyone give me advice on how to play?ㅋㅋ
But then.
Screeeeak.
The convenience store door opens in the distance.
“!”
Balloon Gum startled and quickly hid himself in the nearest classroom.
“Ah. Those look like Baek Jun-su’s gang.”
From his experience with multiple playthroughs, he could tell which group they were just from their silhouettes.
Even from a distance, they looked like delinquents as they quietly emerged and scanned their surroundings before heading toward the bathroom.
The weapons they held were merely a broken mop handle and a steel pipe they’d dismantled from the convenience store shelves.
“Ah, those bastards. They’ve hit the convenience store this run.”
Fully confident of their identities, Balloon Gum hid himself deeper inside the classroom.
-Wow Balloon Gum, you’re like some seasoned regression player!
-Balloon Gum: Regressor (physical)
-Regression with basically nothing (real)
With so much experience from replaying, he even knew which scenarios made the game easiest.
“The class rep’s gang eating the convenience store is the easiest route. Should I skip this?”
Haha, you’re quitting the game right away?
You threw it away way too easily lol. Are you seriously a regression player lol.
No, come on, try it lol
Unlike Almond, he threw his life away far too easily.
“Ah, right. If I get rid of all this, it’s no fun. We’re not killing that Hyeon-a noona, yeah? She’s probably inside the music room. Let’s recruit a colleague.”
After all the children had gone into the bathroom, the hallway was empty.
Balloon Gum slipped out quietly and moved toward the classroom further ahead.
To get as close as possible to the music room.
Click.
Right after opening the classroom door and hiding my body again.
The delinquent gang emerged from the bathroom.
“Phew. Every time I come to the bathroom, I’m literally shaking with fear.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it…”
They proceeded cautiously back toward the convenience store.
“Still, the good thing is that when the delinquents eat at the convenience store, they lose their brain. Look now. They’re not even thinking about closing the fire door, right?”
The delinquents’ brain.
He was a character named Choi Gi-su, but he wasn’t someone who always joined the delinquent gang.
In certain situations, he wasn’t in that group, and when that happened, the delinquent gang couldn’t act strategically.
“They’re just savage primitives right now. That’s fine. Gum. Let’s try it.”
After all personnel disappeared into the convenience store.
I slipped out of the classroom again and approached the music room.
“Hoo…”
Even my breathing trembled with tension.
If I got caught by Baek Jun-su’s side here, it was certain death. At least with my skills, it was.
Reaching the music room, I peeked my head in to look inside the classroom.
“Just as I thought.”
The convenience store clerk, Hyeon-a, was captured with her limbs tightly bound to a pillar.
“The store clerk can distinguish things like food poisoning. Quite useful. Recruiting a colleague now.”
-Is that so?
lol you’re so good at this
Lol nuts shake, I had written a memo to Hyuna saying “there’s nothing she’s particularly good at” lol
Balloon Gum carefully opened the classroom door and approached inside.

* * *
“…So you had an ability like that, Hyeon-a.”
I muttered while lying in bed.
I had been checking my phone to see if my fans were enjoying Balloon Gum’s broadcast.
Before I knew it, I’d been watching for quite a while.
Balloon Gum’s streams really are entertaining.
And since it’s the same game, I picked up quite a bit of useful information.
Though most of it was already useless to me.
“Yawn….”
Sleep was starting to creep in.
I decided to check the community reactions one last time before drifting off.
I showed two reactions on today’s broadcast, so I was expecting some positive mentions.
“…Huh?”
My eyes, which had been half-closed from drowsiness, snapped wide open.
“Why is something like this….”
The Zombie School Garden had been quite favorable toward me, but when did things change?
An unwelcome post was sitting at number one.
[What the ^Nut Clan^ Wants Right Now]
It was a post mocking my fans.
Sleep vanished in an instant.
