The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 181
63. Solomon-Style Broadcast (3)
Gulp. Gulp.
Sanghyeon drained the ion drink in one go before answering.
“No. I lost.”
Scrim had been defeated.
Juhyeok merely shrugged without much expression.
“Well, it’s Scrim after all.”
“Sigh….”
Thud.
Without even hearing Juhyeok’s words, Sanghyeon went to the sofa and flopped down on it.
Rome was no easy opponent.
Still, I had shown more developed gameplay than in the England match. Yet in the end, I lost anyway.
“Hey. Why are you like this over losing one match?”
“It’s just….”
“What?”
“Nothing. Never mind.”
Sanghyeon didn’t particularly enjoy elaborating after a defeat, so I swallowed my words.
If I had simply lost by hitting a wall due to a skill gap, I wouldn’t have felt this drained.
But it felt like I could win, only to fall short by the narrowest margin.
Juhyeok interjected again.
“Hey. Your soul’s gone—what are you doing staring blankly?”
It seems the disappointment really got to him, Juhyeok added.
“Ah… No.”
Sanghyeon was about to just shake his head.
Then I offered this instead.
“There’s some good news too.”
“What?”
“I’m getting a bit closer with my teammates.”
“Oh. That’s good news then.”
I was gradually becoming acquainted with more colleagues.
This was definitely good news.
Especially among the archers—there was hardly anyone who didn’t know Sanghyeon by now.
“But you don’t really care about that stuff anyway.”
“Well….”
In truth, Juhyeok was right—this wasn’t really good news for Sanghyeon.
So it was really good news squeezed out by force.
Juhyeok changed the subject entirely.
“By the way, when are you going for Solo Rank S+?”
“Ah. That’s tomorrow. Scrim doesn’t happen every day, so I’ll work on it bit by bit when Scrim isn’t on.”
“Is that a private broadcast too?”
“No, that’s not it.”
“Oh. The viewers would love that, wouldn’t they?”
“Right?”
Juhyeok smacked his lips slightly.
He pulled out his phone.
“While we’re on the subject, let’s nail down our offline schedule.”
“Offline schedule?”
“I’ve already confirmed everything with Ril’s God and Juhwa.”
Sanghyeon had declared at the start of the new year that he’d be appearing on other broadcasts and doing collaborations more frequently.
This was the process of keeping that promise.
Juhyeok added while looking at his phone’s scheduler.
“Right. And we also got an invitation inquiry from G-Star.”
“G-Star?”
G-Star. It was a kind of gaming expo.
Since Sanghyeon wasn’t particularly familiar with gaming culture, he had no idea what G-Star was.
The same went for Juhyeok.
“Well… I only found out about it this time too. It’s a gaming expo, but you can participate more actively in it? That’s what they said. I sent you a reference video, so watch it.”
“Yeah, okay…”
Sanghyeon’s eyes widened as he watched the reference video Juhyeok had sent.
“Ah. So this is G-Star!”
The reference video had this title.
[My gift depends on Balloon Gum’s skills? I’d rather die…]
Balloon Gum was wagering viewers’ gifts and competing against someone.
Real fans surrounded the area, cheering him on.
Unfortunately, the result was a complete loss.
It was Run Guys, a game Balloon Gum usually did well at, but he seemed quite nervous playing it at G-Star.
Sanghyeon had actually seen an edited version of this video before.
‘So that was G-Star.’
Only fairly well-known streamers got invited.
Now Sanghyeon was going to appear there too.
“Yeah. You can bet on games with fans’ gifts here, and you can also try out new games. Plus, famous developers show up here and even do balance patches and face-offs.”
Developers actually come out and do that kind of thing?
Pfft.
Sanghyeon suddenly burst out laughing, imagining what users and developers would say to each other.
“Ah. Iseok Kim, who’s famous for developing Zombie School, Jetpumped, and Mana Sword, is coming too. Since he’s introducing the Ril RPG he’s currently developing, the attention level is really high.”
A person with a track record of developing major games. Sanghyeon had heard the name before.
“Oh, and Cookie is coming too. Looks like he’s doing MC for the Civil Empire side.”
“Oh.”
“By the way, King Gul is the MC for the Ril side, and since famous streamers and rankers usually do MC work, you’ll probably meet a lot of people. Event matches and such could happen there too.”
An event match?
Sanghyeon found himself intrigued.
He suddenly imagined beating Cookie senseless in an event match.
It wasn’t that he held any particular grudge against him, but the thought had simply materialized out of nowhere.
And it wasn’t a bad thought at all.
“That sounds fun. Let’s schedule it.”
“G-Star has fixed dates we can’t change—we just need to decide when between those dates to do it.”
“Roger that.”
While other invitation programs were nice, Sanghyeon found himself particularly looking forward to G-Star.

* * *
The next day.
When Sanghyeon woke up in the morning, he habitually checked the community.
‘Oh. Right.’
He nearly got spoiled on the story mode and quickly closed it.
‘I can’t look at anything until I finish the story mode.’
He thought it would be better to just read Tseugae during his broadcast instead, and got out of bed.
Creak.
He opened the window and let in some fresh air.
Whoooosh.
Winter’s biting wind was howling outside, but there was no helping it. A house with two men living in it absolutely needed ventilation.
“Brrr. It’s cold. Even with clothes on, it’s freezing.”
Juhyeok emerged from his room, buttoned up in a suit and thick padding.
“What’s up? Heading out already?”
“Going to meet with some producers. And… we’re looking for an assistant editor.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah. Nothing’s decided yet. I wanted to talk things over today. Remember that Jesse video I showed you back then?”
“Oh. So it’s going to be her?”
“Yeah. Anyway… it’s going to be a busy day. I’m heading out.”
It had been quite a while since I’d seen Juhyeok leaving this early in the morning.
I could feel that the broadcast expansion was really taking off.
“Uh… yeah.”
Clang!
Sanghyeon gave a lukewarm farewell, watching the front door that had already closed.
He went to the kitchen and pulled out some almonds from the cupboard. With Juhyeok gone, meals naturally reverted to this.
Crunch crunch.
The sight of him stuffing his cheeks with almonds like a hamster seemed somehow a bit melancholic.
‘Juhyeok’s gotten so busy.’
I’d already been gradually noticing that Juhyeok’s workload was increasing.
It seemed to have gotten especially worse lately with the rise in offline schedules.
“Hmm.”
Crunch.
Sanghyeon chewed another handful of almonds, staring blankly out the window where a crisp winter breeze swept in.
The lazy winter sun reluctantly rose, and by the time it slowly passed overhead.
Almond’s broadcast came on.

* * *
“Hey there!”
Almond on screen greeted cheerfully.
-Hey hey
-Yo
-Ding ding~! Yo!
.
.
.
Greetings flooded the chat.
“We left off in the middle of story mode last time, right?”
-Yeah
-Watched the flashback then dipped
-Left after seeing Kill Swift
-Seems like we’re almost done now?
-Oh so we’re continuing part 1 story mode
Through the chat, Almond roughly recollected the situation from last time.
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won.]
[Almond! Almond! Did you get invited to G-Star? hehe]
Then a donation from loyal viewer Rubisword came in. This much was normal.
“Oh. Yeah. How did you know?”
How does he know I decided to go to G-Star today?
-Famous streamers just get invited automatically lol
-So cute lol
-Why do you look like you got caught lololol
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won.]
[If you have 30k+ viewers you’re guaranteed an invite]
Ah. So any somewhat famous streamer gets invited. Almond was learning this for the first time.
“Ah. I see? How did you know that?”
-Lmao
-Haha
-So it was a leading question lol
-Seriously you’re too much lol
-Self-made trap
Following Almond’s lead in soliciting donations, more contributions poured in.
[Rubisword has donated 1,000 won.]
[Kyaa~ Our princess! 10,000 won every time she speaks! Gush gush gush!]
[Gaji-bokkeun has donated 3,000 won.]
[The principal should also follow the 10,000 won per sentence rule lol upvote if you agree]
-Like a dog’s recommendation~
-Gush gush gush lolololol
-What’s with the VJ special forces voice lol
-What even is Rubisword
-If he did that the principal would be broke lol
“Ah. Thank you all for the donations.”
Almond was about to move on and read the Tseugae posts.
-Donations lol
-Just lumping them all together?
-Ah, even if you add them all up they can’t match one word from Rubisword lololol
-Not much of a price, is it?
-Mond~ You shouldn’t be picky with your food~?
“Let me check out Tseugae for once today….”
[Rubisword has donated 10,000 won.]
[See you at G-Star!]
“Ah. Rubisword. Thank you for the donation. You’re coming? What are you riding here?”
-lol asking again
-So relentless, Nut Fans!
-lolol
-Even he’s laughing lol
“Just kidding~”
Feeling too guilty about taking more money from Rubisword, Almond wrapped it up that way and proceeded to read through the Tseugae posts.
-Last bit of conscience lol
-I want to go to G-Star too…
I want to go to G-Star too ㅠ
“Alright. Let me read the popular Tseugae posts. Why is there a kiss scene between Swift and…?”
[Story Mode Swift and Deep Kiss Scene Existence Reason]
Almond was momentarily flustered.
“…Really? This is bait, right?”
It was a post made to tease Almond, who was easily caught by bait.
-Seems like it lol
-But wouldn’t they have made it for female players? hehe
-Try it once. Does it work?
“No. Even if they made it for female players, I’m a man, and Swift is a villain on top of that….”
Without realizing it, Almond was rattling off reasons why this didn’t make sense.
[Gae-i Master donated 10,000 won.]
Ah haha, it was KISS SWIFT~~ hahaha
Damn, haha
lol
-For real
-nickname lol
-ㅋㅋㅋ timing
“Yes. Thank you for the donation, Gae-i Master.”
What’s up with that pronunciation lol
King, I’m being honest lol
-pieces lol
“Lol, he said it’s not ‘gay’ but ‘gae'”
“Let me read this one.”
Almond reads through the reasons why he should kiss Swift.
A moment later.
“Yes. This is all nonsense.”
The author received a 30-day ban.
-ban lol
-They’ve become Swift’s party member for 30 days
-???: I’m Ben.
After that, Almond read a few more posts.
He didn’t forget to pick random posts as well, not just popular ones.
There was one post that had just been uploaded.
[Found out how to escape Mosol thanks to Almond]
“Oh. There’s a post saying they escaped being a perpetual single thanks to me.”
-How on earth?
-Execute the traitor
-Did they meet at Almond’s fan signing event??
-Ah maybe they met at the event
Given that Almond’s stream had relatively more female viewers,
it wasn’t strange for viewers to become close and start dating. Most viewers thought of such stories, but.
==== ====
If you split a single in half, it becomes a couple.
It divides into part one and part two, so there are two.
(Video)
==== ====
The attached video was a scene from some game where a monster was split in half.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ (lol)
I’m dying laughing
hahahahaha
-Then you’d die…
-Part 1 Part 2 lololol
-I see your determination to die rather than live as Mosol
-Torn in half? That’s marriage in this room ^^
“…Ahem.”
It was a comment mocking Almond’s broadcast format.
Almond decided to start the game now.
“Alright. I’ve warmed up a bit. Now let’s go finish the Story Mode.”
-Runs away when things get awkward
-Why won’t you answer lol
-Oh, are we seeing the ending today?
“Ah. I’ll activate the mission I’ve been keeping on hold.”
-Haha lol
-As expected, he didn’t forget lol
-His mission memory is dragon-tier
-He set that with no time limit
-And he remembers this in the meantime.
[Clear Nodeath with 3 Stars]
[200,000 Won]
It was Trivia’s mission keep function.
If the person who set the mission doesn’t impose a time limit, it can be kept indefinitely.
Some streamers don’t even use this feature.
But Almond had really wanted to clear that mission from back then.
Ding.
[Supo-jwa donated 1,000 won.]
[So this could be kept…?]
-Jjap-po-jwa crying lololol
-Hey, not just anyone can use the name Supo-jwa, right?
-Chiki-cha about 3 hours ago lol
-lololol caught by new information
Soon, the Story Mode began.
