The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 31
12. Sniper (Physical) (2)
Following the substantial donation of one million won, another generous contribution from a big donor arrived.
This time, it was a mission.
[Mission]
[1,000 Won Per Meter]
A per-meter mission, not a per-kill one.
The concept was somewhat unfamiliar, but the principle remained the same as per-kill missions.
You receive what you earn.
“Thank you for the mission, Big Donor. I’ll make sure to complete it well.”
Haha, that’s good, right?
-I’ll empty my wallet for you ^^
-Sniping from the moon, let’s go~!
“Hanna? What’s the record?”
Almond asked about the longest-distance sniping record again.
He’d heard it before, but it seemed he’d missed it.
“The record is… to put it simply, about three subway stations away.”
He hadn’t misheard after all.
I wondered if subway stations in New York were packed closely together like that.
But when she converted it to kilometers, it was clearly not the case.
“To be precise, it’s 3.5 kilometers.”
Having practiced archery, Almond had a fairly keen sense of long-distance measurements and could immediately grasp the scale.
‘That far…?’
Just how absurd a distance 3.5 kilometers truly was.
-??
and lol
-3.5 kilos? (Can’t even tell the difference lol)
-Info) It’s like killing someone at Jamsil Station from Samsung Station
-You’re asking him to do that right now?
“Of course, I’m not saying you need to make a shot at that exact distance immediately. It’s just a reference point for maximum range.”
Almond wasn’t listening.
1,000 won per meter.
1 kilometer is 1,000 meters.
1 kilometer equals 1 million won.
3.5 kilometers is…
‘…3.5 million won?’
In terms of potential alone, a mission worth a staggering 3.5 million won had just arrived.

* * *
With a moment to spare, I glanced at the screen, and my eyes twitched.
“…Big Donor? You’re coming by often today?”
BigSon.
He was Trivia’s famous big donor. His reputation lived up to his name….
But there wasn’t a single piece of information about who he was or what he did.
Yet that wasn’t strange at all.
‘Actually, that’s even better.’
Ironically, having no information in this world was proof of a clean background.
Most scammers tried to flaunt their wealth.
But Big Donor?
Without any self-exposure, he simply and quietly supported only what interested him—the true light and salt of Trivia!
That was why he earned the reputation of being Trivia’s highest authority.
and Big Son is crazy/insane
-He’s back again??
-Kyaa
-Are you settling in now?
-90k viewers so he showed up lolol
-Boss!
Unlike other big donors, Big Donor received quite positive reactions from viewers.
Not backdoor ads or shady deals.
Real support.
-1000 won per meter lolol
-A gas station?
-lololol that’s creative
And this Big Donor had set a mission instead of just donating.
‘I don’t think this happens often.’
From what I knew about Aimee, Big Donor rarely set missions.
As a big donor, donations appeared fairly often, but missions were rare.
I didn’t know why.
But this time he set a mission, and it was incredibly helpful for the broadcast.
1000 won per meter of sniper distance.
-Wow I’ve never seen Big Donor set a mission before
-I’ve never even heard Big Donor mention amounts in units of 1000 won lololol
-1000 won? Isn’t that cheap? lol
I mentally ran through some quick calculations.
‘1000 won per meter means….’
The word “1000 won” could be misleading, but it would be a mistake to think it was a small amount.
Just succeeding at a 500-meter shot would net 500,000 won.
Even regular trainees shoot 150 meters with K2 rifles.
In a game that isn’t reality, when a player wielding a sniper rifle with exceptional marksmanship takes a shot?
500 meters isn’t particularly difficult.
If things go according to Juhyeok’s prediction, Almond will attempt a shot beyond 1 kilometer.
He might even challenge 3 kilometers. With the game’s assistance, it’s worth attempting.
‘Then 300?!’
300 million won.
He just spent 1 million won earlier, and now this?
I knew BigSon was generous, but not to this extent.
Theoretically, he’s burning through someone’s monthly salary in a single day.
‘His reputation isn’t undeserved.’
When he appeared before, it was just a one-time thing. He disappeared for quite a while after that spectacular donation.
Will this time be different?
‘I wonder if he’ll stick around a bit longer?’
It was purely Juhyeok’s hope, but today he had a feeling BigSon might stay longer.
“Ah. Manager, you’ve been waiting long, haven’t you?”
“Oh, no, not at all.”
The staff member who had briefly left to retrieve documents returned.
“Here it is.”
It was an advertising proposal for the Hitman Simulator.

* * *
“Hey, hey. The manager and Almond’s manager are talking right now.”
The remaining booth staff whispered among themselves.
“Are they trying to make ‘that contract’ with Almond?”
“Yeah. The CEO said to focus all resources on the best streamer who visits the G-Star booth.”
“It’s only the first day… and they’re already deciding?”
They said they’d carefully select and focus on the best among the visiting streamers.
To make a decision this quickly was strange, but there was sufficient reason for it.
“First. It gets more expensive the longer we wait.”
“That’s true.”
In this free market, securing a pre-contract quickly is always the cheapest option.
“Second. There won’t be any more streamers coming.”
“…?”
The employee was momentarily confused, but soon understood what was meant.
“Ah….”
The challenge points were being depleted.
At this rate, there was a high probability that not enough points would remain for another famous streamer to come and play the game.
“The CEO said it himself. Among the streamers visiting G-Star today, focus all resources on the best one! But now there won’t be any more streamers coming.”
Because that person exhausted everything.
“So, to follow the CEO’s orders, there’s no choice left?”
“Exactly. Why would another streamer come to a booth with no points left to give?”
“Ah….”
They had no choice but to sign a contract with Almond.
Or pray that Almond didn’t drain every last point.
“Who knows? But he said he’s never tried sniping before.”
“Ah… that’s true.”
The only hope was that Almond was a complete novice at sniping.
“….”
A moment of silence.
“By the way, Manager Park. Does Almond’s channel usually get a lot of missions?”
One of the employees asks Department Manager Park, who had apparently foreseen this disaster.
After all, Manager Park was originally a viewer of Almond’s channel.
“Ah… originally, missions don’t come up that often. Especially those ‘incentive-based missions’—we don’t do them with Almond because he cleans us out too badly.”
“Huh?”
The questioner’s expression goes blank.
“But then why did we get hit with two of them at our booth?”
“That’s….”
It’s because Almond mistakenly thought the prize was 10 million won instead of 1 million won. We’re trying to fill in at least some of the gap beforehand to soften the blow when he finds out later.
…Those words rose to the tip of his tongue, but.
Manager Park held his silence.
‘To put it simply, we just have terrible luck.’
The detailed circumstances were actually meaningless.
From their perspective, it was simply a matter of bad fortune.
That Almond had chosen this game as his final one to sweep away all his challenge points.
That he happened to be laboring under a 9-million-won misunderstanding today.
It was nothing to do with this booth—just a natural disaster of coincidence.
So Manager Park deflected it this way.
“Well, I suppose our game is just good for getting missions attached to it.”
He decided to think of it positively.

* * *
Whoooosh.
Almond and Hanna were in transit after switching vehicles.
Unlike before, this time it was a small, inconspicuous compact car.
If I filled the back seat with sniper equipment, it would fit just barely snugly.
“Agent. I’ll transmit the sniper positions to you via map.”
Zing.
As Hanna gestured with her hand while driving, information materialized in Almond’s lens.
The location where the enemy’s key figures were expected to be was marked in red.
The locations where we could conduct a snipe were marked in yellow.
“You can choose whichever location you prefer.”
Since each location was different, naturally the sniper distances varied as well.
[Point – 1] [1.2㎞]
[Point – 2] [0.8㎞]
[Point – 3] [1.3㎞]
[Point – 4] [2.9㎞]
….
And so on.
Ranging from as short as 800 meters….
[Point – 8] [3.5㎞]
There was even a distance of 3.5 kilometers, what was called the record.
Looking at it directly on the map, the distance was no joke.
Could anyone even imagine being sniped from such a distance and dying?
-Snipers really are no laughing matter
-The guy who dies is gonna feel so pathetic
-Is that worth 3.5 million won?
[Point – 8] [3.5㎞]
[Selected]
Almond chose Point 8.
-3.5 million won lol
-Blinded by money lolol
-He’s really doing that??
-Wait, has Almond ever sniped before?
-What’s with this confidence
The viewers wondered if he perhaps had experience, seeing how he unhesitatingly chose the farthest location.
Boom!
[Rubisword has donated 100,000 won!]
[Almond. Have you tried sniping before?]
“Ah. Thank you for the 100,000 won, Rubisword. I’ve never tried sniping, but I’ve been on the receiving end of it.”
-Lololol
-I’ve been hit plenty of times before lol
-For real, total sniper lol
-Wow 100,000 won oof
-The donations are insane
‘Today’s donation luck is really something.’
Rubisword usually donated in increments of 10,000 won fairly often.
Was it just my imagination? Since earlier, they’d been sending at least 100,000 won each time.
“Agent? Are you certain about the location you’ve chosen…?”
Hanna asked, peering through the rearview mirror.
“Yeah.”
“It’s excessively dangerous.”
“It’s fine.”
She’d grown accustomed to Agent Almond’s style by now.
“Sigh.”
She didn’t bother trying to convince me further.
“Moving to Point 8.”

* * *
Point 8.
It was a high-rise building.
The building was being used as a luxury hotel.
Almond and Hanna made their way to the very top floor with sniper rifle components hidden inside travel luggage.
To avoid suspicion, they’d even booked a room.
“I’ll unpack the essentials in the room and then move to the rooftop.”
The rooftop was originally locked, but Hanna had a master key.
“Normally I’d request cooperation discreetly, but since this is an emergency operation change and there are budget constraints, I simply stole it.”
Startup assassination company ㅠㅠ
-No lol
Why are you telling me this when I didn’t even ask?
Clang.
Stepping onto the rooftop of the ultra-high-rise building, the first thing I felt was the wind.
Whoooosh.
The wind was far stronger up here than down below.
‘This is going to create variables.’
No matter how powerful the rifle, over a distance of 3.5 kilometers, the wind could easily throw the shot way off.
“I’ll set up here.”
Hanna installed the gun rest on one side of the railing in an instant. The setup was quick. I placed the rifle on it and secured it, then peered through the scope once.
‘…!’
-oof
-Huh?
-Can’t even see it clearly??
-Lol
A scope that magnifies up to 3.5 kilometers. The magnification isn’t just extreme—it’s lethal.
‘What am I even looking at…’
Because of that, I couldn’t even gauge where or what I was supposed to be seeing.
Is that thing moving down there actually a person?
“Let me adjust it for you.”
Hanna confirmed the enemy’s position with her binoculars.
Then she approached from behind Almond, held his hand together, and turned the rifle for him.
“Around here…”
Hanna whispered close to my ear.
“Can you see it now, Agent?”
-??
-Is that even the right posture? lol
-Wait, aren’t they too close!?
-Did this one get face ID too? lolol
-This is a real bug
I could see the viewers going wild in the chat.
‘Focus.’
I tore my eyes away from the chat window and looked at the point Hanna was showing me.
The focus was much better than before.
And…
‘There it is.’
A red dot was marked above the target’s head.
“I’ll lock it in.”
Click.
The support and rifle became nearly one unit, immovable by any ordinary force.
Yet even so, if I breathed too roughly, the crosshair would sway dozens of meters from the point of impact.
There was a real possibility I’d hit the wrong person entirely.
“Let me explain the sniper mission.”
Hanna began her explanation while maintaining the same position.
-Why is she explaining like that? lolol
-If we did this, would it be like this too? Should I buy this or sue? !?
What does it mean to live as a popular person? ㅠ
-It does go straight into the ears though lol since she’s right next to him.
-So Hanna fell for the demon too… the social demon…
“Sniping has a critical weakness: if the first shot fails, the success rate of the next shot drops dramatically. According to our elite agents’ statistics, it’s only about 9%.”
Hanna paused to catch her breath before continuing.
“Additionally, if the enemy notices the sniper’s presence, the sniper’s death probability becomes extremely high. Approximately…”
You don’t really need to know that.
Hanna didn’t reveal the specific probability.
“Agent. Our company recommends immediate retreat if the first shot fails. Do you agree?”
