The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 127
44. Cookie (1)
[Extremely Intelligent: Sigh… seriously…]
[Oeseong High: T_T]
[Day Build Judge: …wtf]
The atmosphere in the group chat had plummeted to rock bottom.
AK’s defeat was one thing, but the manner of that defeat was utterly pathetic.
Most of the posts appearing on Embul right now were curses directed at them.
Most of the posts appearing on Naver Cafe right now were curses directed at him.
Isn’t that sniping the enemy commander? lol They fell for it lol
It wasn’t enough that they used Nalbil while claiming they’d target Nalbil…
If you’re going to criticize Nalbil, it’s not enough that you’re using Nalbil yourself…
[‘Dayville + Sniper + Random Pick’ – the dream 3-combo ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Should AK47 Embul users be banned?]
They finished it all off with a random pick.
It wasn’t intentional, but the result was that they got random picked.
Because of that, Almond and Bontovi had to wait ten minutes, and King Gul was so furious he left the legendary ten-minute curse clip.
It was a war where they gained neither justification nor profit. The group chat members were divided.
Some of the more casual members even captured and posted AK’s contact profile screenshots.
Some of them with lighter tendencies even went so far as to capture and upload AK’s contact profile.
Of course, the phone number wasn’t visible, and only AK’s profile reset to default was shown.
They posted the screenshot to reveal that AK had locked all profiles and gone into hiding mode.
At the sight of AK going dark even in real life, Embul users were left speechless.
AK’s disappearance until now left Ambu users fuming.
Haha, I’m speechless.
-Did it really have to come to this?
How could things have gotten this bad?
Responses calling it pathetic dominated the conversation.
Then there were people analyzing exactly where AK’s mental state had broken.
-I’d bet my fingers that they lost it watching Almond count money
I went crazy watching a video of someone counting almond money, and my hands are shaking.
└That video makes anyone lose it~~
“Looking at that will drive you crazy~~”
There was an opinion that they got angry watching the clip where Almond appeared to be enjoying himself.
Some people were angry after seeing a clip that appeared to show Almond enjoying it.
Dude lost his mind over King Gizzard’s 10-minute diss track lol
lol so funny
└”Changed cables, you snake bastard”
“Snake bastard who changed cables”
I can’t translate this as it appears to be corrupted text or keyboard mashing rather than coherent Korean language content.
I can’t translate this as it’s not coherent Korean text – it appears to be random characters and keyboard mashing with laughter symbols (ㅋㅋㅋ).
Some viewers claimed their mental state collapsed after watching the clip where King Gul, furious, spewed curses for the entire ten-minute waiting period.
Regardless, it was undeniable that AK found themselves in a humiliating situation both externally and internally.
Punishment for the vanguard.
Though neither King Gul nor the Empire users intended it, that’s precisely how it unfolded.
Once AK, who had led the charge, suffered such a defeat, no one stepped forward to snipe them anymore.
[Sand Spoon: Hey guys. Aren’t you going to snipe?]
Someone asked them whether they would engage in sniping.
[Sharr: Getting cursed out because of one pathetic loser]
[Waeseonggo: Did he even leave the group chat? Looks like his life’s just a random draw]
[Nalbil Judge: AK… Even without my judgment, the world seems to be judging them. I’m worried we might get caught in the crossfire…]
The four named ones simply exchanged different topics among themselves.
Though someone continued trying to incite them….
[Morae Spoon: ㅋㅋㅋ Guys! But aren’t you gonna call them out? Almond’s starting the game again ㅋㅋㅋ]
Even as Almond and Bontovi started the next game, then another.
[Sharr: I’m tired today, so let’s call it here.]
“Yeah, next is G.”
[Nalbil Judge: Yes. Good work.]
The four named ones ended it as if they were done for the day.
[Sand Spoon: ??? What did you guys do to be so tired lol]
Sand Spoon was dumbfounded by how they spoke as if they’d already sniped and played several matches.
[Sand Spoon: ????]
However, Sand Spoon himself lacked the courage to actually snipe directly.
Sand spoon: OK got it
In the end, he too left a message suggesting they call it a day and disappeared.
Chiseung, who had been watching this chat room, wore a faint smile of contempt.
‘They scattered after just one snipe.’
When they had deliberately gathered a sniping squad, Chiseung had thought it would turn into quite a prolonged battle.
Was this really the end?
‘No, that’s not it. They haven’t left the chat room yet.’
Of course, they could always return tomorrow as if nothing had happened.
“Kimchi? You’ve suddenly gone quiet. Has the game become too loose!?”
King Gul beside him called out to him.
It was because he had been lost in thought without saying anything.
“Ah… I was just thinking about something else for a moment….”
hahaha
-Eas—y
-Another easy win this round~
-Could win even while sleeping
The current match was against an unnamed foreign commander.
This was certainly no fluke, and I had no idea that Bontovi would employ such a mindless archer strategy.
He naively followed the standard build path. He must have dreamed of advancing rapidly to the third age while leveraging solid military forces to dominate the map.
But when transitioning into the second age, Almond sent fifteen workers to raid him.
“Ahhh! Workers! A complete worker massacre!!”
It was only natural that King Gul was excited and shouting like this. This game was essentially over.
“The promotion match is right around the corner! Aamond! Bontovi!”
If I won just this match, I would immediately advance to the promotion match, and if I won there, I’d reach A+.
After that, there would be no need to practice together with Bontovi anymore.
From then on, I would climb the ranks with the youngest member of the actual National Team.
I would be able to fight much more easily than now. Above all, I would be able to improve my abilities through far more diverse experiences.
In the meantime, three more of the opponent’s workers died.
“The eighteenth worker has been captured! This wouldn’t be strange even if a surrender came right now!?”
By allowing Almond to penetrate right at the moment of advancing to the second age, the enemy commander was helpless against the assault.
Chiseung even felt pity for him.
He barely managed to produce some archers and naively sent them against Almond, but of course they were no match.
Due to the worker massacre, the opponent’s resource income was depleted, and Bontovi continued to supply archers.
Almond’s archers began to accumulate more and more in the enemy’s main base.
“Ah! The game is almost over now!?”
Almond and the archers under his command had completely established a foothold in enemy territory and seized the resource lines.
Though the archers couldn’t directly strike the town hall, the match was essentially already decided.
But the enemy commander didn’t surrender.
“Ah! The enemy commander! He really has incredible tenacity!? Since he’s a Northern European player, maybe he doesn’t care much since he loses 70% to taxes even when he wins!?”
King Gul joked that it was because the commander had Northern European nationality.
Hahahahaha
King welfare state lol
No way, you’re not going to take game money too, are you? lol
In situations like this, when Bontovi stepped up, it was quickly resolved.
[Bontovi: NOOB]
The effect was tremendous.
[The enemy commander has surrendered!]
The enemy commander finally declared surrender.
Born to be a mana bum lol
I’m losing my mind lolol
I’m about to lose it too, but that guy ㅋㅋㅋ
“Wow. Another victory! Currently, Bontovi and Aamond! Reaching the A+ promotion match with an undefeated streak!!”
-Legendary for real
-Insane…
But honestly, there’s something appealing about Kimchi Warrior too lol
Boom!
Along with the sound of a drum, this message appeared.
[You can now attempt the A+ promotion match!]
I had reached the A+ promotion match, and it was around 11 PM.
I decided to continue the promotion match next time.
“I think we should call it a day here.”
“Ah, yes. Proper rest is part of training too!”
King Gul and Kim Chi Warrior exchanged farewells, and I also said goodbye to Bontovi.
〔You worked hard today, Bontovi.〕
〔Yes, Almond. But we don’t have much time left now….〕
Bontovi seemed reluctant about parting ways with me soon.
-Feels like sending away the goose that lays golden eggs lol
-Bontovi’s going back to B now lol
-He’s gonna become Go-to-B
My viewers teased Bontovi, but I had grown genuinely attached to him.
It felt regrettable somehow.
‘There’s something oddly bittersweet about this.’
After all, I had essentially climbed through every rank of the Civil Empire alongside Bontovi.
The reality of parting with him hadn’t quite sunk in.
〔Yes. Let’s play together often next time too.〕
I spoke with sincerity, not mere formality.
〔Really?〕
〔Yes. I’ll contact you after the national team tournament ends.〕
〔Wahaha! Thank you so much!〕
Bontovi vanished with a bubbly, cheerful laugh.
“Everyone, today was fun.”
I delivered my closing remarks for the stream.
“See you next time!”
Then I exited the capsule.

* * *
Srrrrr.
My personal capsule opened with a soft hiss.
I pushed myself up.
“Phew.”
I exhaled deeply for no particular reason.
“….”
Then I stared blankly into the void.
There was one existence that had occupied my mind all day long.
‘That Veteran Knight… they said he was a Named One.’
Jancos, the player ranked 18th that I’d met today.
He seemed to be on an entirely different level compared to the other Veteran Knights I’d encountered before.
What if I faced Jesse as an opponent?
What would her ranking be?
I began to develop curiosity about the existence of “Knights.”
‘If I equip myself… would I win?’
The first advantage of Knights is their equipment.
Those pieces of equipment, requiring astronomical investments, would be difficult for me to penetrate as a mere Archer.
But what if I became a Knight myself and fought?
I shook my head.
‘What’s the point if I can’t wield a bow.’
It was questionable whether I could perform at their level with my combat power as an Archer unable to draw a bow.
Zzzzng.
Then my phone vibrated.
I picked up the phone I’d wedged into the corner of the capsule.
[Kim Chi Warrior: Do you happen to have time a bit earlier tomorrow?]
It was Kim Chi Warrior.
[Kim Chi Warrior: Around 1 PM would be great.]
[Almond: Oh, yes. I have time.]
I didn’t know what it was about, but 1 PM was free, so I agreed.
[Kim Chi Warrior: Got it. I’ll let Cookie know. The National Team competition has many differences from regular matches, so he said he’d give you a separate explanation.]
‘A separate explanation?’
Cookie is the person serving as the overall commander of the National Team competition.
The person who knows and plays this game the best in our country.
For such a person to explain the National Team competition rules to me.
It was certainly a good thing, but I felt puzzled.
[Almond: But shouldn’t I reach S+ rank first?]
If I don’t reach S+ rank, I can’t even register on the National Team roster.
What if I ultimately fail to reach S+ rank?
It’s like explaining the rules to someone who might not even make the National Team.
[Kim Chi Warrior: I think Cookie hyung just wants to see you directly, Almond. Well, not directly, but in-game lol]
[Kim Chi Warrior: Cookie hyung also said that even if it doesn’t work out this year, he’ll explain since you’ll be participating next year anyway.]
[Kim Chi Warrior: It won’t take long. We’re just going over the rules.]
I see.
It seems he’s offering an explanation out of pure goodwill.
Still, he’s already eyeing my participation next year.
[Kim Chi Warrior: Oh, and ask Cookie hyung anything you’re curious about. He’ll probably answer almost everything lol]
[Almond: Ah, okay. I’ll ask.]
[Kim Chi Warrior: Then I’ll see you tomorrow!]
That was Kim Chi Warrior’s final message.
Sanghyeon lowered his phone for a moment and reflected.
On the movements of the Veteran Knights I had faced before.
‘Should I ask him to teach me swordsmanship?’
No.
I’m not even on the national team yet.
He quickly dismissed the thought.
