The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 235
81. Talent (2)
The most active community for Jetpumped is the Jetpumped Garden within Communigarden.
Users abbreviate this and call it “Dden.”
Needless to say, Dden’s bulletin boards were flooded with posts about the current challenge against Iseok Kim.
[Please, just let him take one hit]
[If we lose again this time, I’m seriously making Jet transform into a monster or something. I’m betting my hands on it]
[Please, Jetters… gather your strength!]
The players were the ones who suffered the most damage from Jetpumped’s new cash items.
So it wasn’t strange that they wanted to beat Iseok Kim the most.
Actually, it seemed like they wanted to do more than just win—they wanted to land a hit on him.
Looking at the top issue post, you could clearly see their desire.
1st) Found the 100% guaranteed way to beat Iseok Kim
If this title meant exactly what it said, it wouldn’t be strange that it took the top spot in issue posts.
However, the content was entirely different, and surprisingly, it was still worthy of taking the top spot.
==== ====
First, you need to be careful from the moment you enter the capsule. When the Challenger is called and walks toward the capsule. That’s where you make your move. Instead of the capsule, slip into the broadcast stone area.
Then suddenly run like crazy and rush up the stairs. The sudden running is important. You can’t get caught.
When you arrive, open the broadcast stone door, then throw your body forward with all that momentum and hit Iseok Kim with a double side kick.
He’ll be sitting down, so your foot will hit his head perfectly. Since Iseok Kim won’t be prepared at all, he’ll take the hit to his head and lose consciousness, right?
Then grab his hair, lift his face up, and throw about thirty punches at it.
Then you win lol
==== ====
Why are you talking about it so naturally like you’re reciting a recipe for spicy stir-fried pork? lol
lol that’s hilarious
Spicy stir-fry recipe that’s crazy good
└How to eat Iseok Kim as easily as cake…
└How to make Iseok Kim as spicy as Yeolgi tteokbokki.
└Is Iseok Kim afraid of players getting stronger?
-Wow, such a simple method…
-Why did we insist on virtual reality… the goal was actually right in front of us.
There were countless comments on this post.
From Iseok Kim’s perspective, they were extremely menacing comments.
-So how many years do you get for jail time?
└Roughly probation?
└Lol even Woo Young-woo couldn’t get probation for this
“ㅋㅋㅋㅋ What the hell are these guys doing seriously worrying about this ㅋㅋ”
└Seems like they want to do it
Honestly, if you’re the type of person who thinks probation is worth doing, then you’re pathetic lol
lol
Once or twice… that should be fine, right? ㅎ
└I think living there for a year as experience wouldn’t be bad~ ^^
They were debating what kind of things one could do after living there for a few years.
As if they were actually going to execute this plan.
Of course, this was merely a mischievous joke that occasionally appeared in the Community.
No one actually went through with it.
Or perhaps, there was no longer any need to.
The possibility was emerging in virtual reality without needing to actually fight in reality.
[Huh? What’s Almond doing?]
Lol almond’s shit tutorial lol
One mental attack and he’s done for lol
A strange Challenger appeared who started a challenge with the tutorial.
[Could he actually win?]
[No way, he’s gonna win though?]
Heo Won-moo, seriously lol
In his first confrontation with Wonmu Heo, I showed no mercy and exercised one-sided violence.
And finally…
[Breaking News) The weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings got cut ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
I defeated Wonmu Heo.
With a perfect game.
Perfect mime???OMG
Hahahaha
That’s hilarious ㅋㅋㅋ
-Wait, losing to someone playing for the first time??
Perfect is ㅋㅋㅋ isn’t that Heo Won-moo’s problem?
lol just a one-trick laser claw lol
If you’re going to use it like that, why use it in the first place lolol
-Excuse me, but it’s “Three Kings”?
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text. It appears to contain informal Korean slang, internet speak, and unclear characters that don’t form standard Korean words or grammar.
hahaha (laughing while covering mouth)
└”Three Kings” has a weird ring to it
“ㅋㅋㅋ The Three Thousand Kings are so pathetic… it really seems like there’s nothing to it…”
└Real talk, I can feel the mindset that whether it’s two or three doesn’t really matter, it’s hilarious
In a place where resentment toward the developers was already thick, a perfect defeat to a complete newbie was the last straw.
Almond and the developers. These two collided like fire and gunpowder, and things began to explode.
2nd) Almond. Is he a god?
4th) ???: You’re really bad at games~
8th) Is Iseok Kim afraid of Almond getting stronger?
Posts mentioning Almond flooded the issue threads.
People went beyond merely hoping he would beat Iseok Kim and began writing posts as if he had already won.
[Almond’s Victory!]
[Breaking News) With the appearance of Almond, the Prodigy of the Gorge, all members of the Pangyo faction have withdrawn]
[Breaking News) Starting tomorrow, the management of Jetpumped will be taken over by Mix Nuts…]

* * *
“Is Director Heo actually in his right mind….”
Jihota muttered as he equipped the ‘Boxing Jet’.
“I knew he couldn’t play games well. But losing perfectly to a complete newbie on his first try? That’s something else.”
Unlike the fervor in the community, the developers themselves didn’t seem to regard Wonmu Heo’s defeat as such a big deal.
After all, he was generally poor at games in his everyday work.
So they mostly viewed this perfect game incident as nothing more than a ‘happening’.
Jihota felt the same way.
“Is this guy just throwing the match because he’s annoyed and wants to leave early?
He even suspected that Wonmu Heo was deliberately losing just to clock out faster.
It was due to his personality—he hated working long hours.
“The fact that he chose a judo jet he’s not even good at….”
Shick.
The boxing jet’s gloves fit snugly onto both his hands.
“Sigh. I guess I have to handle the leftovers.”
Unlike Wonmu Heo, he frequently utilized this boxing jet in actual combat.
With a few ‘heavyweight’ pumps, he could create iron gloves that wouldn’t fall easily and could throw devastating punches—one of Jihota’s favorite settings.
‘But they said not to pump at all.’
However, this time his opponent also brought a basic jet with no pumping whatsoever, so he had no choice but to equip a basic jet as well.
A boxing jet following Wonmu Heo’s judo jet.
[Transmission]
And the transmission began.
Whoosh.
As the dark vision brightened again, the surroundings came into view.
[Rooftop]
The rooftop floor with green urethane finishing came into view.
“Alright, the map is the rooftop! We got the rooftop!”
A map where the rooftops of small row houses in one corner of the city become the stage.
Only the rooftops of four buildings can be used, and if you fall when jumping to the opposite building’s rooftop, you get bungee’d.
“The subway earlier barely had any places to bungee. But this map is literally designed to bungee people, right?”
-When did the caster come lol
-Probably called him because Iseok Kim is about to compete soon lololol
-Finally got proper commentary lol
Was it to prepare for an upcoming match? Where did Iseok Kim go? The casters who hadn’t shown themselves until just now appeared.
“The rooftop! A map where bungee works really well. You can use 4 building rooftops. In the process of traversing these rooftops, you can fall. Or you can deliberately knock someone off.”
“And weapons like baseball bats and golf clubs that make people fall on purpose just drop everywhere, right?”
One of Jetpumped’s distinctive features: weapons are scattered throughout the map.
“Ah, yes. In the match against Wonmu Heo, the two of us only fought in one spot, so we didn’t see many weapons. This time might be different?”
“Yes. It probably will be. Weapons are quite useful on easier maps.”
These weapons have terrible durability and must be discarded after a few uses, but they can sometimes prove useful.
Especially golf clubs and baseball bats among these weapons can send opponents flying far away, so you must be careful even in advantageous situations.
“Right now, Almond and Jihota haven’t discovered each other yet?”
-Jihota lol
-Why not Jihota the regional lord lmao
-The nickname alone is already so weird lol
The rooftop map is quite spacious unlike the subway, and spawn locations are also random.
“The map was designed with 12-player combat in mind, so it’s quite large. Right now they’re on different building rooftops!”
Interestingly, Almond and Jihota were transported to different rooftops.
“Wow. The character graphics are completely game-like while the map is real footage, so it feels like augmented reality, doesn’t it?”
“Yes. Jetpumped’s concept of Jetters—data entities—invading the real world to carry out missions comes to life even better through the new map!”
-What’s with the promotional speech…
-If Iseok Kim pokes you with a stick from the side, wave a carrot at him
-The MCs gotta eat too, guys lol
Jihota and Almond ran around the rooftop wildly, and soon discovered each other.
“Ah, they’ve spotted each other now?”
“Jihota quietly picks up a baseball bat that was lying nearby? He’s planning to hit it with the bat the moment Almond jumps over!”
Ooooooooh…!
Boos erupt as Jihota picks up the baseball bat.
“Aaaah! The crowd is booing right now! Picking up a baseball bat against a beginner is taboo!”
“Yes. Only toxic players do that!”
-lololol
You probably don’t even know what an almond baseball bat is ㅠㅠ
-Wait, is this the Taisan from Pangyo!?
-Yeah, Hanbada is better than Taisan~

* * *
‘This is about twenty meters, I’d say….’
At the edge of the rooftop, I examine the opposite building’s roof while stroking my chin.
Looking down at the vertiginous drop of twelve stories, I consider the situation.
‘If I fall, I’m dead.’
Unlike the gap between train and platform, falling here would be unmistakably fatal.
And on the far edge of the opposite rooftop.
Jihota stands there with a baseball bat in hand.
‘What. He’s planning to knock me off with that, isn’t he.’
To anyone watching, his intent is crystal clear—the moment I jump to cross, he’ll swing that bat straight at me.
Having played games with some awareness up until now, I can read that much.
‘Just jumping across means death.’
Jetter’s physical abilities are exceptional enough that crossing this distance would normally be trivial.
But if the opponent swings a baseball bat at me, everything changes.
‘Hmm.’
How can I deceive my way across? Or should I not cross at all?
While I’m deliberating for a moment.
I discover something on the ground.
[Baseball]
A baseball.
It didn’t look like something they’d place here as decoration.
“Is this a weapon too?”
I can’t translate this as it appears to be placeholder text or incomplete Korean characters (ㅇ represents an empty or unspecified consonant/vowel in Korean). Please provide the actual text you’d like translated.
-If you throw it right, sparks fly lolol
That’s also a weapon lol, it’s disposable
As expected.
This was also a weapon like the golf club or baseball bat.
Click.
I pick up the baseball and take position at the edge of the rooftop again.
The Casters immediately become animated.
[Ah! A baseball against a baseball bat!?]
[Excellent judgment! Forcing your way across would be suicide!?]
[But can he actually hit it accurately….]
The skeptical Casters fall silent the moment they see my pitching form.
[…?!]
Whoosh.
My left knee rises sharply, and a natural pitching stance begins to take shape.
Isn’t there a saying about this?
Professionals feel it the instant they set their stance.
That pressure emanating from a posture only professionals possess was radiating out completely.
Tap.
His raised left foot touched the ground, and his right arm stretched forward.
The baseball left his hand, shooting out like a bullet.
「Back in my day, you know what I did when I wanted to straighten out disrespectful punks?」
The senior’s earlier advice (?) flashed through my mind.
Whoooosh──
The sound of wind splitting filled the air as the baseball flew.
[Your stance is incredible! Wait, could it be!? Is that a baseball ultimate move!?]
[On the first try? That’s impossible!]
When each weapon’s stance is executed perfectly, an ultimate skill activates.
It’s not as impressive as Jetter’s ultimate, but it’s still quite powerful when it triggers.
‘Just watch.’
Jihota glared with intensity, gripping the bat tightly in his hands.
The moment his foot stamped the ground and the bat swung.
「If you’re right-handed, aim for the left jaw. Throw it there. They can’t possibly hit it due to their body structure, right?」
Whoosh──
The baseball was already driving straight into his left jaw.
“!?”
Crash!
「That’s a beaning. Even if they dodge, their pride gets shattered. Instant manners injection.」
[Aaah! Direct hit!!]
Right after his jaw twisted violently.
But it didn’t end there.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the baseball caught fire?
[What is this!?]
[Wh…!?]
All the casters’ jaws dropped.
It was an ultimate skill.
[This is an ultimate move!?]
[On just one attempt!!! A baseball ultimate skill has been activated!?]
Boom~!
With the fire attribute attack layered on top, an even greater impact was delivered.
Jihota’s body burned fiercely as he flew backward.
Almond shielded his eyes from the sun with his hand, watching Jihota soar away.
‘Oh… I guess I can just cross over now.’
After everything was already done.
Only then did Almond recall the final words the senior had added at the end.
「~I was about to say! If you actually do this, you’ll be in serious trouble. Hey, why do you have that look like you’re actually going to try it?」
