The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 29
11. It’s a Hit, It’s a Hit (3)
The employees began tapping their calculators without anyone telling them to.
If Almond eliminated every enemy that appeared here and exited in one go, would the challenge points remain intact?
“…Well, it’s not over budget at least.”
“Of course not. The real challenge starts once we leave the building.”
What they were concerned about was the number of enemies that would be eliminated afterward by the human who succeeded in escaping the building on the first attempt.
Already, as Almond left the executive office, an Operator was formally assigned to him, examining the map and beginning to issue instructions.
After successfully escaping the building, the Operator would assign Almond a new mission.
Someone factored that future into their calculations and tapped the calculator again.
“Well, we still have plenty of room.”
“How much is ‘plenty’?”
“Unless he survives two hours in challenge mode without dying…it’s impossible to exceed.”
Sigh.
Sighs of relief echoed from various corners.
“I think we can just relax and watch. He’s good at games anyway. It’s nice to watch.”
“Right?”
After tapping the calculator, they concluded that the challenge points to be awarded to Almond were plentiful.
Did the higher-ups actually allocate a decent budget?
At the elite agent difficulty level, they were handing out challenge points generously.
“But did we really have that many challenge points? Haha.”
“Well…that’s because…we haven’t had any customers, so nothing’s been spent.”
“….”
It was a reason they couldn’t laugh about.
So few people challenged this game that the accumulated points had piled up.
“Ahem. Almond has exited the building.”
“Ah…I see.”
Almond exited the building so naturally, as if it were obvious.
The employees nodded as if they were no longer surprised by that level of performance.
“But…wait.”
Then one of the employees noticed something odd.
“Why isn’t that person listening to the Operator?”
They noticed that Almond had removed his earpiece.
“…What?”
“The Operator doesn’t even know that person’s name. Right now. They’re starting by asking for a code name.”
“Huh…?”
The Operator seemed to still be repeating words as if they had never communicated with Almond once.
[This is Operator 03. Agent, reveal your code name. Agent currently listening to this voice. Your code name is….]
“Isn’t the Operator supposed to be necessary to get out?”
“…Well, no, structurally it’s not like that. The Operator identifies the building’s internal layout and enemy positions to provide that information.”
“So you’re saying you came out without a map at all? Just raw instinct?”
Escaping the building didn’t mean simply descending the stairwell.
Sometimes the stairs were blocked midway, forcing detours to other routes, and the enemies were hiding in perfectly strategic positions.
To descend without an Operator, shooting down every single enemy—that was an incredibly difficult task.
“What in the world…”
Yet this person seemed to have descended without issue.
“You’re saying you spotted and eliminated every single one individually?”
What kind of crude method was this?
“But if that’s the case… didn’t you kill far more than we anticipated? We were supposed to avoid unnecessary fights…”
“!”
That was right.
By following the Operator’s commands precisely, unnecessary combat could be avoided.
But this person hadn’t followed the Operator’s commands at all—in fact, he couldn’t even hear them.
The Operator hadn’t even managed to ask his name.
“Don’t tell me… you killed everyone down there? Look, look!”

* * *
“Plan D1 success~”
That’s what Almond said as he confidently emerged from the building’s first-floor lobby exit.
-Is it just me, or are all the plans the same except for the names?
-lol so much lol
He’s pretending to use Hodoo again lol
-Plan D1: Shoot Everything to Death
“I didn’t just shoot everything to death—I also collected the guns the enemies were carrying…”
Almond complained as if people didn’t appreciate his strategic thinking.
Is that even part of the plan? Wow.
-This too is the Nut Fans’ strategy.
-Plan DEBDM12958: Kill Everything and Take Everything
No, I just took it because all the coal was worn out lol
“But what happens now?”
No more enemies were appearing.
Outside, citizens were walking around. Ambulances with blaring red sirens were parked here and there.
Firefighters were busily extinguishing the flames engulfing the building.
There was no way to open fire in a place like this.
-Let’s go with Plan C1, bro.
Shouldn’t we eliminate all of them since they’re witnesses too?ㅎㅎ
Is this New York? Wow.
-Inner city vibes
Ignoring the insane suggestion to slaughter all the New York citizens, Almond glanced around.
Fortunately, people paid him no attention.
He brushed the dust off his suit lightly and naturally blended in with the pedestrians on the street.
“Let’s walk for now.”
Someone else might threaten him again. He was trying to hide among the pedestrians.
After walking for quite some time.
“…But why is there nothing?”
-Who knows?
-Put in the earpiece. 23rd time mentioning it
-What do you mean put in the earpiece?
-Why ask if you’re not gonna read chat lol
The game wasn’t progressing.
That’s when it happened.
Ding.
[DonationJudoOlympicGoldMedal donated 10,000 won.]
You took out the “nim in-ear” though. ㅠㅠ Chat with me a bit ㅠㅠ
The chat had been discussing this the whole time. Almond hadn’t noticed because he’d been busy sightseeing on the New York streets.
“Ah. The earpiece. Thank you, Judo Olympic Gold Medal donor.”
Only then did Almond remember the earpiece and put it back in his ear.
-Donation judo is judo for sure!
-Donation judo Olympic gold medal lol
Possessed physique that only reads paid chats ㄷㄷ
-Nut Shake donation judo lol
From an archery athlete to a judo athlete!? Crazy!
Crackle.
After a brief moment of static, the earpiece transmitted the message with clear audio quality.
[…Agent, state your codename. This is Operator 03. Agent listening to this transmission, state your codename. This is Operator 03. Currently….]
The poor Operator 03 seemed to have been repeating the same words the entire time Almond exited the building.
“Codename Almond.”
-What’s your status lol
-Why not Aamond
-Make it Aaa
After a brief silence.
The Operator began to respond.
[Codename Almond… I’m transmitting the surrounding terrain and situation now.]
Zing.
Information began to display in the lens Almond had been wearing without realizing it.
“!”
He could see the location where he was currently walking in 3D perspective, and the predicted positions and routes of the enemies were marked as well.
[The priority right now is to escape that building and survive… Ah. You’ve already escaped?]
The Operator seemed momentarily confused, as the situation was different from what he had anticipated.
“Yes. I eliminated all witnesses on my way out. Does that complete the mission?”
[All witnesses are… Ah, I see.]
-Operator, why does it seem like there’s a bug? lol
-What? lol Wasn’t he a computer? lol
-Flustered;
-Wait, he didn’t kill everyone?
[Everyone? Did I kill everyone?]
“Yes.”
[There was no need for that…]
“You told me to kill everyone… The mission is complete, right?”
[Ahem. Understood. Mission accomplished!]
No, something feels forced about this.
-lolol whatever! Mission accomplished!
-lmao
-What is this lol
-Nice, hitman company lol
-Hey Nut Fans! Just cover it up and return!
Ding.
[Soryongpo donated 30,000 won.]
[By the way, Almond! Almond! Wouldn’t it have been easier if you had turned on the in-ear from the start?]
“Uh…”
Tell me about it.
Almond nodded, looking at the 3D map spread before me.
Thinking about how much I had gotten lost while coming down from the building earlier.
It seemed turning it on from the start was the right call.
‘But…’
If the viewers found out I had done this without turning it on and suffered for it, they’d gleefully backseat game in the chat. So I just pretend not to know.
“It probably wasn’t on before. Thanks for the donation, Soryongpo.”
-How would you know if it was on or not lol
-Ah lol just pretend you don’t know lol
-Ugh lol
-Oh…
-Gritting through it lol
Then, with a screeching noise, the Operator spoke again.
[Agent Almond. Please respond.]
“Yes.”
[Upon verification, you were not the agent originally deployed for this operation.]
Huh? What are you talking about?
[The agent originally deployed for this operation has the codename A.]
Since I had no idea what the Operator was talking about, I just listened for now.
[You are Agent A’s sidekick, and the operation’s primary agent is deceased. Is that correct?]
“Ah, yes. That appears to be the case.”
[I see.]
-Wait, at least verify it
Why are you being so half-assed about this?
-But this seems like a story?
-Startup hitman company lol
[Then, Agent Almond.]
“?”
[You’ve now taken over Agent A’s duties.]
This appears to be the minimal storyline within the challenge mode.
-???: Ah… Your supervisor had to leave suddenly today. You take over as supervisor.
-This really is a startup lol
-???: Alright! Eeeee! What a feeling! Promoted to Nut Fans Manager!
[Prior to this, Agent A was an elite operative. His loss is a critical emergency for our company. We’re prioritizing the operation to track down the assassination of Agent A above all else.]
Ding.
Along with the notification, a hologram of some weapon materialized.
[An anti-tank cannon, presumed to be the weapon used in the assassination of Agent A.]
Whirrrrr.
The Operator spoke while simultaneously unfolding a map.
[The positions capable of striking the building with a medium anti-tank cannon are as follows.]
Red dots appeared at multiple points across the bluish map.
[Considering the impact angles of debris such as glass fragments, the viable locations narrow down to these two.]
The numerous red dots narrowed down to two.
[Through hacking street CCTV, we’ve detected suspicious vehicle movement from one of these locations.]
A black van driving through the streets came into view.
lol
-This is a major corporation
-Oh
-Damn
-A small-to-medium company all-in on tech
Viewers were astonished by the considerable technological prowess of a company they had dismissed as small-scale.
[Track that black van. I’ll have the vehicle standing by for now. Resupply weapons from the vehicle and await mission orders.]
Click.
After that, the Operator’s voice ended.
Only the mission window floated idly.
“A vehicle? Where am I supposed to go?”
Where on earth was I supposed to get in a car? I looked around my surroundings.
Screeeeeech!
A black van came to a stop.
A different voice came through the earpiece.
[Let’s head out. Agent.]
Whirrrrr.
The door slid open automatically.
As I stepped into the van, an armory mounted in the corner unfurled with a smooth sliding motion.
-Whoa
-This is an agent!?
-Now that’s it
Kingsman is crazy/insane.
Countless firearms with unknown names gleamed in black, tempting me to choose them.
I was waving my hand uncertainly when I thought, ‘Should I go for something big?’ and reached for an absurdly massive gun.
“Agent. This mission is an assassination. Please select a weapon suitable for covert operations.”
A voice from the passenger seat stops me. It’s the female voice I heard through the earpiece earlier.
“Covert?”
“Yes.”
As I turned my head, reddish-brown hair cascaded down.
“My apologies for the late introduction. I’m Hanna, your support agent.”
-Now this is a spy thriller
-The character design is gorgeous
-Paradise
-Oh wow…
Hanna, who had slightly lowered her sunglasses as a greeting to reveal her blue eyes, continued speaking.
“Surveillance and tracking, followed by target elimination. That’s the process for this mission. There cannot be any witnesses among the enemy. There must be no evidence that our company has retaliated.”
Ah, I see.
I nodded and tried to pick something smaller.
Boom boom boom!
[Shy Yeopo has registered a mission!]
[10,000 won per kill!]
-Whoa
-Those who forget history have no cash for Supo-jwa
-Again?
Hahaha wow
Oops haha
“Wow. Thank you for registering the mission, Supo. It’s been a while since we’ve had a per-kill mission.”
I realize something while speaking.
‘If it’s an assassination, does that mean I only kill one person?’
Since the enemies shouldn’t even know about our assassination, it must be just one target.
“Hmm… This one looks good. This one. And this one….”
Click. Click.
I begin selecting the most formidable-looking weapons.
“…Agent?”
Even as Hanna tried to stop me, it was futile.
“This mission is an assassination mission, so….”
“I’ll just make sure there are no witnesses.”
“?”
“Let’s go.”
-Unknown: Assassination? My mission is a rampage though?
-Ah lol if you kill everyone, who’s going to testify lol
-Lmao lol
-Lol this is insane lol
-Hanna, if you don’t want to be a witness either, keep quiet, yeah~?
