The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 34
13. Unexpected Teamwork (2)
“Since the conversation doesn’t seem to be progressing, I’m going to be frank with you. I wouldn’t handle it this way if I were in your position.”
What? Being frank?
This arrogant bastard….
The Manager’s lips pressed into a thin, rigid line.
Of course my blood is boiling.
This damned Manager understood my situation perfectly.
How could this guy I just met understand it better than my incompetent subordinate employees?
During the meeting, even when I explained the current situation exactly as it was multiple times, most of those thugs couldn’t understand and kept asking me to repeat myself….
The world is truly unfair.
Is the gap in ability really this vast?
“Sigh.”
A sigh escaped my lips involuntarily.
I cooled my temper and glanced sideways at the screen.
At least that bastard failed the sniper mission, so there’s that.
‘Let me push forward anyway.’
I managed to hold on with the thought that if I lose any more than this, I won’t sign the contract.
The possibility isn’t completely zero.
But I needed to change my strategy.
“You’re right, Juhyeok. Our company’s situation is like this….”
I needed to appeal to his sympathy and approach him with a humble, pleading attitude.
People like him, who were so sharp, often had a weakness for this sort of thing.
“But! Still, we can’t go any lower than this!”
“Then just don’t do it.”
“Yes, yes… I’m grateful that you’re being so considerate… Yes!?”
What is he saying right now?
Don’t do it?
He’s coming on strong?
“Yes. You said you wouldn’t do it if it went any higher than this. We also can’t do it under these conditions.”
“Huh…?”
The Manager couldn’t hide his bewilderment.
I clearly knew this was a good condition for Almond. But this guy?
“It’s not really a game that fits my style, the advertising approach doesn’t elevate my status as a streamer… it’s just an ad where I’d have to do it for the money. Since the money doesn’t work out, I can’t do it.”
“…Ah, no. These conditions are the standard for streamers, aren’t they!?”
Juhyeok shook his head.
“Streamer standard isn’t Almond standard. For the reasons I’ve been mentioning, I feel the cost for image consumption hasn’t been properly accounted for.”
“….”
No, but that’s already been factored in?
Still, I had nothing to say.
This guy said he couldn’t feel it that way.
What was I supposed to say?
And he said he wouldn’t do advertisements.
Was I supposed to scream at someone who keeps rejecting my confessions of love, demanding why they wouldn’t date me?
He just said he didn’t like it!?
‘How could this be.’
With my conditions, there’s no way he could dislike me?
I have a car, I have a house, I have everything!
But he just said he didn’t like it.
There was nothing to do but back down.
‘How could this be.’
The Manager repeated the same words once more, his expression darkening.
Get a grip. This is different from rejecting a love confession.
This is high-level psychological warfare.
To extract more.
Yes, come at him harder.
Just kick him out of the booth.
‘But can you handle that risk?’
That guy was right.
With just the points already lost being astronomical, he didn’t even know which streamer would come next or what kind of person it would be.
The CEO had told him to settle things at G-Star no matter what.
And in reality, it was rare to find a place where you could make a contract as mutually beneficial as G-Star.
‘Still, let me close my eyes tight and try.’
I didn’t want to lose for some reason.
Yes, you could even call it stubbornness.
I didn’t want to lose to that cunning guy who didn’t match his bulky frame.
“Still─”
──Twang!
At that moment, the Manager’s eyes unconsciously turned back to the screen.
‘Again?’
Wasn’t the sniper shot a failure? He’s shooting again?
Hitman Simulator.
In this game, as long as you’re alive, there are always more chances.
Yes, as long as you’re alive.
‘The sniper mission failed and he’s still alive?’
The fact that he was alive at all was strange.
I thought he’d die soon.
He had survived, and was even now carrying out another sniper mission.
On the screen, the animation of bullets already flying was displayed.

* * *
The bullet flies through the air.
Far slower than its actual velocity.
Slow enough for the Player to fully appreciate.
-Will it work this time?
-Let’s goooo!
Please ㅠㅠ
A 4.1 million won bullet lolol
Whoooosh….
Ejected from the muzzle flash, the bullet traces a gentle parabolic arc through the air.
It pierces through the sky above the densely packed urban buildings.
Descending steadily.
Plunging downward.
The target is a car currently waiting at a traffic light.
The vehicle carrying the injured VIP being transported to the hospital.
The VIP is confirmed to be lying in the third row of the car.
-Ooooh
-It’s working
-Incredible
The bullet flies true.
Straight toward the red dot marking where the VIP should be.
Crack!
The bullet strikes the red dot with perfect accuracy.
The window of the third row.
lol
-Whoa
-Wow!
-Damn
Crackle…!
The window shatters into hundreds of fragments.
“?”
Clang!
The bullet deforms.
Then bounces away.
-???:It’s bulletproof glass!
-For real, it’s bulletproof
-Wait, weren’t we supposed to hit the tires anyway?
-Damn it, seriously bulletproof
It was bulletproof glass.
Hanna, who had been peering through the binoculars, stands up and clicks her tongue in frustration.
“Agent! Weren’t you supposed to shoot the tires!?”
Aimee had suggested shooting the tires, saying the glass was likely bulletproof.
Hadn’t I heard that instruction?
But─
It wasn’t over yet.
──Boom!
Almond’s successive bullets followed.
The second bullet struck the window.
The exact same spot.
Right where the bullet hole was.
Crack…!
The glass shards, stickily clinging together, began to tremble gradually.
-Wow
-Insane
-No way lol
-The guy inside looks shocked lol
From the second bullet striking to the third bullet embedding itself took only an instant.
After all, they were flying at bullet speed.
Boom!
Bang!
The moment two bullets struck the same spot in rapid succession with additional force.
“!”
The next bullet made a different sound.
Whoosh!
-Crazy lol
-You know? Bullets pierce glass
-Like this?
In an instant, one of the security personnel inside collapsed.
“Ugh!”
Whoosh!
Another bullet fired in succession, and another member fell.
The inside of the car was chaos.
Or rather, it was about to become chaos.
There wasn’t even time to create chaos.
Almond had fired over a dozen bullets all at once.
After the first bullet, the remaining fourteen bullets took only about five to six seconds to embed themselves.
It was far too short a time for a human to do anything in such a sudden situation.
“Step on the gas!”
“Just go forward!”
“Gaaaah!”
Pew!
Pew-whoosh!
After a couple more fell.
There was nothing left standing between the patient lying on the ground and Almond’s gun barrel.
Bang!
The bullet pierced straight through the VIP’s forehead, right where the red dot was marked.
Blam-blam-blam!
More bullets tore into the VIP’s face afterward, obliterating it beyond recognition.
“….”
Hanna, who had been watching this spectacle through her binoculars, trembled as she stood up and stared at Almond.
“Incredible!”
-Incredible lol
-It really is incredible lol
-???: I knew you could do it! You’re our village hero!
-As expected from Agent lol
-Wow
Hanna cried out with what seemed like genuine excitement for the first time.
“M-Mission… successful, Agent! That was a 4.1-kilometer shot! A new record!”
It was right as Hanna began clapping like a seal that my attention was stolen.
Ba-ba-ba-bam!
A loud trumpet fanfare blared out.
[BigSon has donated 4.1 million won!]
[Thrown~]
A donation amount I’d never heard of before had arrived.

* * *
[…A 4.1-kilometer sniper shot success! That’s a record!]
Hearing this through the screen, the Manager felt as though the sky itself was collapsing.
“A record, you say?”
The Manager, knowing the full situation, scratched at his head with an awkward grin.
“A 4.1-kilometer sniper shot—how much does that even come to? And that’s before adding the kills from the escape….”
Tap tap tap tap.
Juhyeok tapped away at the calculator instead.
‘This bastard… does he even know how to calculate points?’
He was better than the support thugs I trained to bring here.
“Man, at this rate it would’ve been better if that 3.5-kilometer shot had succeeded earlier.”
“….”
The Manager couldn’t say a word and could only listen to Juhyeok scratching away at the calculator.
Not a single word was wrong.
I’d gotten excited about the failed 3.5-kilometer mission and tried to push for better conditions, but now it looked like I wouldn’t even recover my initial investment, let alone make a profit.
I was being uprooted entirely.
Whoosh.
Juhyeok smiled brightly and held out a slip of paper again.
“I know you must be troubled. I’ve set a price for you. Let’s go with this amount. I’ve considered both sides carefully. It’s not some hastily inflated figure.”
The Manager stared blankly at the slip of paper he offered.
‘Both sides my ass… this pure con artist bird….’
But he’d already lost all his strength and didn’t even have the mental fortitude to argue back.
Without realizing it, his hand was already signing away.
Yeah. That’s right.
Those numbers do seem correct.
The thought of just wanting to rest comfortably kept siding with Juhyeok.
When I came to my senses, the contract was already complete.
Juhyeok left the booth with a beaming smile, while the Manager couldn’t even properly see him off, just collapsed against his chair.
“Sigh.”
I should’ve called the CEO.
Just called the whole thing off.
That thought came too late, but it was indeed too late.
Far too late.

* * *
“Wow…! A whopping 4.1 million won! Thank you so much for the donation, Big Donor!”
It was essentially a record for a single donation.
Of course, that’s only within Almond’s channel. Regardless, it’s an enormous sum.
-Crazy
-That’s like my entire monthly salary….
-Insane
-Son! Grow up and become Almond! Son! Grow up and become Almond! Son! Grow up and become Almond!
-Lol
-King God General Emperor Admiral Big Donor~
-Son! If you can’t study well, you’ll have to become Almond when you grow up! Son! If you can’t study well, you’ll have to become Almond when you grow up! Son! If you can’t study well, you’ll have to become Almond when you grow up!
Once the massive donation hit, smaller donations began pouring in one after another.
[Rubisword donated 100,000 won.]
[You know what? When a person gets sniped, they die]
[Soryongpo donated 100,000 won.]
[Oh my, congratulations~]
[Pungsna donated 30,000 won.]
Almost as good at sniping as me lol
Haha, Princess Ruby, if you get sniped you die haha
-Oh my, Princess Belly. I’m dying~
“What the heck is a poongsna lol”
Is it fake or real? lol
-If you die when you get sniped, how many times has Pungsna killed Balloon Gum
That’s a real sniper shot lol
“Thank you all so much for the donations.”
Lol nut snacks for 100,000 won, just splitting it equally among everyone~
-From now on, your names are “all” and “you”. Got it?
-Got 4.1 million won and just like that~~
“I’ve received this much, so I can’t just let it pass by.”
Almond seemed intent on showing something special.
-Don’t tell me he’s doing ‘that’?
-Wow, it’s been so long
Nut allergy reaction market price is currently 4.1 million won! Crazy!
Back in the day, they used to show it for just 100,000 won lol
-But how’s he gonna do it without a bow
The viewers assumed he was about to do a donation reaction.
It wasn’t an incorrect assumption.
“Hanna?”
“Yes?”
“Let’s head to the weapon storage.”
However, it was a somewhat different version of the reaction I had been doing before.
