The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 45
17. Flipping the Script (1)
“…What?”
Having lost a staggering 1,400 points, Dehaep no longer possessed the strength to continue bidding.
“Hey, hey. Surely we… combined, how many points do we have now?”
“…Sigh.”
“Over 2,000, right? Huh? Should we call for more? Huh?”
Beyond this, having suffered so much else, even pooling all their points together, they couldn’t exceed 2,000.
Even surpassing 2,000 wouldn’t give them a way to defeat their opponent.
Despite repeatedly outmaneuvering the opponent, they’d only broken even on our end, yet we’d been repeatedly outmaneuvered instead.
Moreover, this blow was absolutely devastating.
It was simply a knockout loss.
[Remaining Points: 0]
One of the Dehaep members, seeing their remaining points, couldn’t hold back and let out a scream.
“Uuuuuaaaaaahhhhh!”
The screams of the Dehaep members reached all the way to where Sanghyeon was.
hahahahahahaha
Everyone heard the sound lol
“Lol those crazy guys are insane, seriously wild ㅋㅋㅋ”
-Just give up on Reina~~
-Reina would probably prefer Damian going to Almond anyway~~
That’s some real education right there lol
I’m happy with the association lol
-Dehaep’s back bent like a bow…
.
.
.
With the troublemakers gone, the auction couldn’t have been smoother.
Until Reina’s bow appeared, I could peacefully purchase whatever I desired.
And when Reina’s bow did appear, there was simply no formidable competitor to be found.
With merely 2,000 points, no one could follow suit anymore.
Danmuji, who possessed 2,600 points, had headed toward a different mobile game figure auction, and the third-place bidder with 2,100 couldn’t spend their entire fortune on Damian.
So naturally, it fell to Almond.
“Congratulations! Bidder 14!! Limited Edition! Reina’s Bow! Damian, sold!”
Waaahhh!
Along with the cheers of the crowd.
Ding.
Reina’s bow appeared on Sanghyeon’s phone screen.
It didn’t merely appear on the screen—it even floated upward as a hologram.
“Oh….”
Quality that even comes with a hologram walkthrough.
Of course, the physical product I’ll receive soon will be far more impressive than this. After all, it’s merchandise released as a limited edition.
-Wow
Following Rape Island, now Rape Island again ㅠㅠ
Now even a bow…?
Laina bow thief lol
-Did you really need to take everything to feel satisfied!?
The moment Sanghyeon actually brought Reina’s bow, the chat exploded with messages mixing jealousy and envy.
Sanghyeon playfully added fuel to the fire one more time.
“Ah. Is this bow good? I genuinely don’t know.”
That’s why insiders are on a different level when it comes to deception lol
-???: 184cm with a flower-boy face and a golden spoon, but is my life okay with this? I really don’t know
-What do you mean you don’t know #*@&*@*(*
What the f***ing hell ——
While most people took it as a joke, there were still some Dehaep in his chat room who spewed harsh words.
Sanghyeon felt good rather than bad about it. It was the composure of a victor.
When a streamer is in a good mood, it affects the viewers too.
The viewers also found it entertaining when the Dehaep had their meltdowns.
Haha, the data union’s eyes are rolling back!
That’s crazy lol lol lol lol lol
-They’re definitely Dehaep
Just as Sanghyeon was contentedly watching the Dehaep’s seething messages bubble up in the chat.
I noticed a description that said [+See More].
“There’s a description. Let me read it. I really don’t know if this is good or what….”
Hahahahaha lol
-Nut Fans caught another great concept
The data guys are in big trouble now, they’re gonna be dealing with this all day ㅋㅋㅋ
“I’ll just read it and if it’s not good, I’ll sell it~”
Sanghyeon delivered the final blow to the already dying corpse and began reading the description.
[A weapon granted permission from the Sanctuary of the Incarnate Reina, created by projecting Damian as similarly as possible into the current dimension. It is characterized by being made of iron that emits a subtle blue light, and this subtlety is most striking when bathed in moonlight. While it cannot compare to the original, it appears that this is the extent of the Dimensional Technicians’ abilities at present.]
The description was written while maintaining its own concept.
“Perfect explanation to get totally absorbed in lol”
I really like this kind of stuff with you ㅠ
-So it’s like a projection sent to our dimension? Projection? Something like that.
Up to this point, it was just a description of the bow.
But the additional description was intriguing.
[Although it is close to a projected shadow, the purity of its projection rate is so high that it exerts its influence even in other dimensions. This influence will prove helpful when stepping beyond narrow battlefields into vast lands and seas, into an open world.]
What does this mean?
Sanghyeon pauses to think.
Stepping beyond narrow battlefields into an open world…?
Let me read through the rest of the description.
[Contractor from beyond the dimension, your battles shall no longer be forgotten in the memory beyond the Sanctuary. The epic you have built shall be passed down as legend, and across generations, it shall ultimately become eternal myth.]
‘No longer forgotten in the memory beyond the Sanctuary….’
Sanghyeon recalled Ril’s story mode settings from before.
Of course, in Ran’s story mode, it didn’t deal with life within the battlefield.
But in story modes that took place within the battlefield, this ‘memory’ was always treated as a crucial element.
‘Leaving the battlefield… does this mean memories won’t disappear from now on?’
The current Ril consists of three battlefields.
Survival mode, siege mode, escort mode.
These three modes are all single-player versus games, and each game doesn’t affect the others.
According to the lore, it’s because all memories are erased by the Sanctuary and the game restarts. (Of course, realistically, it’s just because it’s a versus game.)
But what does it mean that memories won’t be forgotten anymore?
What happens if previous games start affecting the current game in a versus game?
Looking at the small code attached at the end, I could tell right away.
[레전드 테일 인증 코드: *******]
The answer was ‘it’s not a versus game’.
They weren’t talking about the current versus game ‘Life is Legend’.
They were talking about Legend Tale, which has an MMORPG format.
In other words, this bow would have a certain value in Legend Tale.
-This sounds like Legend Tale talk
-Wow, isn’t this like that? Closed beta user privilege
-Wait, are you saying it’s a golden spoon start?
That was freaking awesome???
-So that’s why it’s a limited edition.
This physical Damian figure wouldn’t just exist in reality—it would also play that role within the game.
“….”
Sanghyeon fell silent for a moment, processing all these settings.
“Is this a good thing? I’m not really sure….”
I teased the Dehaep once more.
Hahaha
-It’s really good
hahahahahahaha
-Even carrying the corpse and getting beaten…
Dae-hyup must be so happy watching even the explanation for this that he’s probably dancing right now~~ ㅎㅎ

* * *
To have such a magnificent item stolen from her.
How furious must she be?
These Dehaep fans who had gone wild wanting it even without any special functions.
“…W-wait, there was something like this too?”
“Insane.”
Now that they’d discovered this Damian figure came with such a feature, their patience had already burned away to white ash.
So, who wrote this post was painfully obvious from the circumstances.
[Serious) Analysis – Problem with the points Almond received at the last challenge booth??]
They had gathered in the lounge of the G-Star venue, pulling out laptops and phones to get to work.
The gist of the post was that the points earned from just one booth were excessively high.
“Ah… it would be nice if we could figure out exactly how many points though.”
The problem was the flimsy foundation of their evidence.
All they had to go on was the host’s comment about ‘performing exceptionally well at one booth and extracting excessive points.’
And after reviewing the replay from Almond’s livestream channel.
“He definitely did extract a ton of points from this booth, didn’t he?”
“Yeah. He cranked it up to the highest difficulty and completely cleaned it out. Even things he didn’t need to clear.”
It certainly seemed like the points earned from this booth would be substantial.
Tap tap tap tap.
So they began writing additional inflammatory posts.
They uploaded multiple pieces of evidence, layering plausible rumors on top of them.
“Word has it this booth won’t be operating tomorrow or the day after. Supposedly because it got completely cleaned out here.”
From how many points he’d racked up to the booth being forced to shut down.
“And! The most important part! There’s a high chance Almond got paid for advertising here. What could that be?”
“Oh…! A bribe!?”
“Exactly!”
They even inflated Almond’s advertising deal as if it were some kind of corrupt arrangement.
Add some wording like ‘Does this even make sense?’ or ‘Almond disappointing’ and you’ve got yourself a decent inflammatory post.
In summary, a narrative was complete: Almond had agreed to do major advertising here, and in return received an absurd amount of points as compensation, securing an overwhelming first place and drawing public attention…
Tap tap tap tap… click!
The Dehaep fans uploaded all their posts.
“Will they bite the bait?”
Now they had nothing to do but wait for the community users to swallow the bait they’d cast.
“They will. There are people sharpening their knives for this.”
They didn’t expect users to be fooled into taking the bait.
Rather, they were counting on those willing to be deceived in order to criticize Almond.
Once they started leaving a few comments as instigators, even the general public without much interest in the matter would be tempted.
In the direction they desired.

* * *
Just as Jia finished uploading all her videos, she was checking the community reactions.
[Serious Analysis) There’s something wrong with the points Almond received at the last challenge booth??]
She spotted a post like this.
“What is this?”
At first, she didn’t pay much attention. Before Almond became famous, she would have reacted strongly to each of these posts.
But once his profile grew to a certain size, this kind of thing became routine.
Besides, she never thought such absurd false claims would be convincing.
However, the world didn’t always unfold as predicted.
A moment later.
“…What?”
Jia irritably tousled her hair—a habit that emerged when she was annoyed.
“It’s gaining more traction than I expected.”
Wasn’t that earlier post receiving recommendations and rising as a trending issue?
-Is this a false accusation?
└Once it’s posted as a trending issue, we’ll find out lol
-Yeah, the points that came out were seriously unreasonable
-How much did he earn from just one booth??
-Did he get over 10,000 points?? That would be insane
Give back the first-place prize money too, damn it.
-Is he trying to sabotage the auction with this?
Looking at the comments, she could see quite a few angry people.
Challenge points were naturally a sensitive topic for challengers other than Dehaep.
Moreover, with so many people liking Almond, there were equally many jealous factions, so whenever such good bait appeared, they swarmed like madness.
-There really is a faction pushing Almond
What the hell is this Illuminati stuff? Hahahaha
└This guy is actually sick
When there were already people harboring such insane thoughts in the first place,
they would upvote any post that seemed more convincing than Illuminati theories.
Most of all, what triggered their outrage was the wording of “hidden advertising” and “collusion.”
-Did he even receive ads here? If so, isn’t that hidden advertising and collusion?
└We don’t know that yet, but the poster seems so certain
└He probably got a lot of ads at G-Star, so we can’t tell from that
Even so, isn’t this a bit too much of a coincidence? lol Why would they get ads from a booth that gave out over 10,000 won? And that game company is completely unknown?
└For real, something smells off
└That place still has some reasonably famous games, you bastard
-Plus, they gave so much that the booth couldn’t operate for the remaining days.
Jia was dumbfounded.
“People actually believe this nonsense.”
He earned almost all his points from one booth, and in exchange, he received advertising from there.
And then that booth ended up shutting down.
Every single one of these conspiracy theories made no sense.
But there was actually evidence backing them up, so Jia decided to verify it herself.
“Can you take a call? Oh, it’s nothing major, but….”
She hurriedly called Juhyeok to ask him the full story from beginning to end.
But….
“Yeah. Apparently they made almost everything there. Ah… it’s really true.”
Something felt off.
“So that booth isn’t operating tomorrow or the day after either… this is real too.”
Why was everything checking out.
“They even… received sponsorship….”
Surprisingly, the posts from the Dehaep users were actually based on facts.
