The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 47
17. Flipping the Script (3)
“Sigh…”
Click.
After scheduling the video upload, she clasped her hands together without thinking.
I didn’t even realize I was doing it.
[1 Hour Until Premiere!]
The moment the premiere notification went live, viewers flooded in.
-Almond’s statement lol
-Response speed is insane;;;
-Is this Almond’s reaction time?
-Did you upload this like you were waiting? Is this a clarification video?
Some people were already treating this video as a clarification.
I thought I’d hidden it well enough, but they were speculating based on the upload timing and other factors.
However, most people didn’t think that way, and that was exactly what Jia intended.
-Is there related content?
-Isn’t this just uploading a video saying he did well in Hitman??
-Why clarify already lol
-What needs clarifying? Honestly? lol
-New viewers maybe; it’s just Almond’s signature superplay showcase video
-You’ll know once you watch
The chat in the premiere waiting room grew increasingly crowded.
People were pouring in.
[Current Waiting: 41,000]
Forty thousand people waiting.
This wasn’t even a live broadcast—forty thousand people were waiting for a video they could watch anytime. It was an encouraging number.
Even popular content creators rarely pulled numbers like this without some major controversy.
-Almond fans and haters flooding in lol
-How many people is this anyway~
-People really came in droves lol
The waiting count showed no signs of decreasing, only accumulating until it reached this figure.
[Current Waiting: 58,000]
Nearly sixty thousand people waiting.
There was about 1 minute left until the premiere.
[Premiere in 1 minute!]
The moment the number in front of the waiting count changed to 6.
[Video Premiere!]
Finally, the video went live.
-Let’s go!
-Into the Digital World!
-Finally
-Those bastards are getting destroyed lolololol

* * *
The video begins with Almond saying this.
“Ten million won as the prize?”
The moment he misunderstood that the first-place prize was ten million won.
-Ten million won again!? lol
-This is where it all started lolol
-In the beginning, there was ten million won…
-Yukino’s got it ddd
A scene designed to explain the biggest reason he chose the Hitman booth.
Of course, neither in the video nor in reality did Almond ever directly say something like ‘I’ll go here since they pay well for good performance.’
‘The video can be interpreted differently.’
But what about in the video?
If you place the scene where he asks ‘Ten million won?’ first, and then Almond selects the booth?
People will understand the causality that Almond chose the Hitman booth because of the prize money.
-So that’s why he went lololololol
-Yeah, the higher the payout the more potential it has
-Everyone knows that — they need to show why it came up so much.
-It all stems from the ten million won lie lolol
Thanks to this, people came to believe that Almond chose that booth not because of collusion, but simply out of greed for points.
This is the power of editing.
That’s why Juhyeok wanted to use the power of video to clarify this situation.
And the part that most actively utilizes that power is coming up now.
‘I hope it lands well.’
Jia’s heart raced.
The response has been good so far, but this is only the very beginning.
Now it really starts.
Jia’s eyes sharpened as she watched the chat.
“Let’s begin.”
After Almond in the video enters the capsule inside the booth, the screen transitions.
It was Almond’s game screen.
An executive office escape mission, essentially the tutorial for the Hitman Simulator.
Almond, who had been hiding under a large desk, suddenly begins eliminating enemies.
Pew pew!
Bang!
Enemies fall as fast as he shoots them.
-Wow consecutive headshots lol
-His shot timing is insane!
-That’s why the points were so high lol
At this moment, Jia focused on what the enemy NPC had said.
“The enemy is estimated to be elite agent-class. I request support troops corresponding to this level.”
This statement, which live viewers would have simply glossed over, Jia emphasized heavily.
She turned up the audio, focused the screen on the NPC, and even added subtitles.
[A rookie agent Almond who received the highest difficulty after landing consecutive headshots…]
She was emphasizing that Almond had earned the highest difficulty through his own skill.
This would later justify the points he received.
For this purpose, she added another tooltip-like note in the corner of the screen.
[*Challenge point distribution rates change through multiplicative calculation based on difficulty level.]
By informing viewers that points varied drastically depending on difficulty, she had subtly revealed the secret behind the ten thousand points.
In fact, this scene was originally supposed to be explained through an interview that Juhyeok had provided. That was the original plan.
But Jia decided to use only the information rather than the interview footage itself.
‘People are already saying it was rigged. Having an interview on top of that wouldn’t make sense.’
Think about it from a viewer’s perspective.
It’s been hours since this became an issue… and now you’re putting together an official interview and inserting it throughout the video?
Not everyone is as quick and diligent as Juhyeok.
People would assume the interview was pre-recorded.
Such a perfect presentation would actually become an overly contrived explanation instead.
For example, comments like “See, they even pre-recorded an interview, so it definitely was rigged!” wouldn’t be out of place.
That’s why Jia adopted this approach.
Of course, this method also isn’t 100% guaranteed.
‘…Will they be convinced?’
Jia felt nervous about how viewers would actually react.
Soon, chat messages began rolling in.
-There was a difficulty level???
-The haters really are pathetic lol they got destroyed
-Elite agent class definitely sounds like highest difficulty
Wow, it was like this??ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
The first attempt is insanely difficult.
Jia’s eyes sparkled with light.
‘It worked…!’
It was landing well. People were accepting the causal relationship.
Of course, among all this, those who had already made up their minds to criticize Almond would certainly have something to say.
Just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean you get a score like that??? lol
Why are you watering it down like this?
So you get full points if it’s the highest difficulty? ㅎㅎ This should work, right?
It was fine.
Because Almond on screen didn’t stop at just receiving the highest difficulty.
Twang!
Bang!
Almond advanced relentlessly, firing his gun without hesitation.
On the side of his screen, challenge points per kill were being calculated.

Here, Jia added another caption to the footage.
[Reckless rookie agent Almond, going out of his way to kill even enemies he didn’t need to, causing trouble for the Librarian]
The second reason Almond had so many points.
He killed everyone, even those he didn’t need to.
-Reckless rookie agent lol
-This is so Almond lmao
Just passing by and they killed them all lol
-There’s a job where you earn more money by getting lost!? Hahahaha~!
More and more people began to agree with this assessment.
Though there were still those who criticized.
-Now that I see he’s accumulated 300 points, this is hopeless lol. How’d he even get 10,000? Huh?
-Saying this isn’t favoritism after seeing this is jumping to conclusions way too fast. Are you getting paid?
-300 points lol. Where are the remaining 10,000?
Still, it was fine.
Because Almond wasn’t done yet.
“Agent! If you shoot that car…!”
──Boom!
In a mission where he was supposed to secretly follow an enemy, Almond shot the enemy’s car.
A massive firefight erupted on the road.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
Bang!
Almond mounted a machine gun on the back of the car and sprayed bullets at the enemies.
Brrrrrrrrrrr!!
Cars were destroyed, crashing into each other, and flames engulfed everything in sight.
It was absolute chaos.
Even through it all, Almond continued to intercept the enemy forces.
Brrrrrrrrr!!!
In terms of points, this was the first climax.
Points began skyrocketing instantly.

[Current Challenge Points: 1,670pt]
A massive jump from 300 points to 1,670 points.
“No, aren’t these the kind of creatures we don’t even need to kill? lol”
Hahahahahaha
-Wow, already over 1600 points?!?
-Points to Mars, let’s gooooo
-Mom! They’re saying this is really going to Mars!?
At this point, the provocative chat messages began to dwindle.
Of course, they only began to dwindle—they didn’t completely disappear.
They were still there.
By ratio, about 15%.
-What??? Even with this much slaughter, only 1600 points???
Why the hell do people even like those damn dogs? lol Their favorite streamer is on the verge of hitting rock bottom lol
Geez, even after sweeping up all of this, it’s only 3,000 points^^ Where are the remaining 7,000 points?ㅎㅎ
‘It’s fine.’
As expected, it was fine again.
Because Almond didn’t stop here either.
[Agent! It seems infiltration won’t be possible, so we’ll need to switch to a sniper mission.]
The solution for the remaining points.
The sniper mission had arrived.
Almond could choose the sniper location directly.
[Agent? The location you chose… are you certain?]
Almond selected a sniper point 3.5 kilometers away.
[Boss sniper mission challenge points are 0.5 points per meter, other elite agents are 0.2 points]
This was the explanation Jia had attached.
This was accurate information since Juhyeok had directly asked the booth employee about these figures.
I cannot provide a translation for this text as it does not appear to be valid Korean or any recognizable language. The characters seem to be either corrupted, nonsensical, or a made-up combination.
The problem wasn’t the numbers, but that Almond had failed this mission.
-Huh? Failed?
After failing, pants run lol
-What? Failed??
Nuts and dogs, like dogs, perish~lololol
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
At this moment, the ratio of chat messages criticizing Almond rose to nearly 40%.
They hadn’t watched the live stream and only saw this video, so they didn’t know how this failure connected to what came next.
Perhaps because of that, there were also many chat messages from fans who had watched the live stream teasing them.
-Oh no, what do I do? Haha, I’m so worried. Almond is really doomed. Haha
-Ddddd As a Nut Fans member, my hands and feet are trembling! Trembling! Shaking! A sniper shot missed?! My life is ruined^^7
“Agent, we need to escape!”
The process of fleeing after a failed sniper shot.
Numerous elite agents were gunned down by Almond’s gunfire once again.
Rat-a-tat!
Pow!
They’re all points.
“Requesting another sniper mission!”
Eventually, I accept another sniper mission.
[4.1㎞]
I select a target point at a distance of 4 kilometers away.
-4.1km??
-Damn, this is harder than before lol
-This is obviously going to fail, right? Couldn’t do 3.5
-Doomed like the Nut Fans lolol
A few viewers seem excited seeing the 4.1㎞ distance.
Pow!!
The moment gunfire erupts, those comments disappear.
Pow! Pow! Pow!
Not once or twice, but dozens of gunshots ring out in succession.
-Ddd from that distance?
-Did he pierce the bulletproof glass by shooting the same spot repeatedly??
-Wtf lolol
-Insane
-This guy is just good at the game
A 4.1㎞ sniper shot.
Seeing me pierce even bulletproof glass through repeated strikes on the same spot, the viewers are left speechless.
And those killed by my sniper shot.
Five security guards inside, one boss.
The total points I earned from that.
[Current Points: 8,100pt]
Boom!
With an appropriate sound effect, the arrival of 8,000 points is announced.
-Insane lol the points exploded
-Wtf inflation
-Oh so this was a bug…
-A bug lol
-This guy is just good at the game this guy is just good at the game
-8100! 8100! 8100!
-The points aren’t bugged. Nut Fans Aimee is the bug lol
.
.
.
Of course, those who came in with the intention of blaming Almond would discover one strange detail.
-But shouldn’t it be ten thousand?
-Happy with 8100 lol it’s a disaster~
-So the remaining points were just given as a service? Right~?
Out of the 11,000 points Almond possessed, only 8,100 points had their source revealed.
It was certainly something that could have seemed suspicious.
They mistakenly believed all ten thousand points came from the Hitman booth, leading them to make this error.
‘Idiots.’
For their sake, Jia had focused on the numbers reflected in the corner of Almond’s goggles in the final scene.
[Challenge Points Held: 2,900pt]
Moments later, when the Hitman Simulator’s points were settled.
[Challenge Points Held: 11,000pt]
And so the 11,000 points were completed.
-Whoa
-Kyaa~!
-So satisfying!
-Wow
-P-points exploding out!
Almond had originally held a whopping 2,900 points.
After that, the voices of criticism completely vanished from the chat.
-Wait, so he would’ve been first even without the Hitman lol
-Insane, the original points were 2900 too
-This guy was literally first from the beginning
It was revealed that even without the Hitman, the first place reward would have belonged to Almond from the start.
The Dehaep members who had slandered Almond came away empty-handed.
-The haters got countered on every single point lol so dizzy
-Haters season 18287 got destroyed so badly!
-It’s you again!? Nut Fans!? You got destroyed again!?
.
.
.
“Phew!”
Thump.
Jia collapsed onto her desk as the tension drained away.
“Thank goodness.”
All her worries had been washed away cleanly.
Now it was time to drive in the final nail.
She uploaded the second video Juhyeok had given her to the community.
