The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 6
2. Young Man’s Comic (3)
When you first start Civil Empire, you meet a fairy.
The player names that fairy.
[Tangkong]
This fairy guides wandering mercenaries—players like you—to battlefields where they’re needed.
As the first step, she leads them to a mercenary tavern where they can receive contracts.
Contracts are divided into ranks E through A, plus a special S rank.
Players starting out as “wandering mercenaries” naturally cannot undertake anything above C rank.
Almond had climbed all the way to S+ rank alongside Bontovi to participate in the international tournament, so he’d long since shed the wandering mercenary title.
He was an “elite mercenary.”
Essentially the highest rank one could achieve on the battlefield.
“This is my first time entering on PC. Let me give it a try.”
-Wow lol
-The title hype is real
-Almond playing on PC is so weird lol
-Let’s go~
Despite having already earned the highest title of elite mercenary, Almond had logged in to receive a new one.
“Aamond!?”
Tangkong greets him as he logs in.
‘It definitely lacks that sense of presence.’
Watching Tangkong flutter about on the monitor, he scratched his head.
“Aamond! I heard the news! On the battlefield where the greatest elite warriors gathered! You became the greatest among them!! People sing songs about you! Children are shouting your name and swinging wooden swords!”
-???: Almond! Almond!
-They’re shouting his name? That’s totally viewer behavior lol
-Wow, so it’s all connected? Insane
-Since the international tournament content is in the game system, this is huge lol
The world of Civil Empire recognized Almond.
Almond, who had won the international tournament and been selected as MVP.
“They call you by this name! Namely….”
Tangkong bows deeply toward Almond’s avatar and shouts.
“Hero of National Salvation!”
Boom.
A massive emblem appears on screen, radiating brilliant light.
[Hero of National Salvation]
[A title granted to the International Tournament Finals MVP. Your nickname border glows with radiant light so all commanders can recognize you. If you are a commander, you can cast an opal-colored signal.]
-Dope
-Sick
-Sick
-Sick
-Whoosh
.
.
.
The chat window filled instantly with exclamations of awe.
After all, how many players among the countless users of this game could possibly earn such a title?
Moreover, everyone in the game could recognize this title at a glance.
Ding!
[Rubisword donated 100,000 won!]
[Wow, a state-level mercenary! Aamond!]
I can’t laugh that hard lol
State-level power hunter, damn
Hahaha, for real though
God’s Sword’s recognition is amazing.
Hahaha, why is this real?
“Rubisword, thank you so much. It really is quite something.”
I quite liked the title.
And right then, a question came in that was exactly what I needed.
Ding.
[Shy Yeopo donated 50,000 won!]
Will you be playing with this title a month from now? lol
“Oh, what a sucker/fool lol”
-Supo-jwa, will you do the mission?
Did you come to shake me down for money? lol
Let’s do the mission per kill.
“Ah, Supo. Thanks for the donation. You don’t need to wait a month.”
At my words, Shy Yeopo and many others expressed confusion.
-??
-Right now?
Why aren’t you taking care of your health??ㅠㅠㅠ
-?
-Huh?
-But you said you needed rest
Ding.
The donations echoed the chat’s sentiment.
[Rubisword donated 30,000 won.]
[Please don’t overdo it!]
Ruby, no! ㅠㅠ
-The right way to say it is Rubisword. Remember.
Advice from a state-level power sponsor lol
[Gaji-bokkeun donated 3,000 won.]
[Hey, don’t you have a younger sibling? If you do, just make them do it lol. Sometimes you can just log in with genetic info.]
That crazy bastard lol
How far is this bastard little brother gonna get stripped down? lol
That guy’s crazy lol
I shouldn’t be laughing but this is so damn funny ㅋㅋㅋ
As countless concerns swirled through the chat,
none of them realized something crucial.
The one they should have been worried about wasn’t Almond at all.
Click.
[Commander Switch]
Almond was going to rotate Q as a commander!
-???
-Gasp hahahaha
That’s crazy lol
lol
-???: Why can’t I do this?
No, seriously?
-I can see the deaths of countless mercenaries… brother…
The chat erupted into chaos.
Regardless, Tangkong spoke up.
“This is your first time as a commander, yes? You can use a different name from your mercenary name! Would you like to do that?”
It seemed commanders could set their own separate names.
Almond decided to create a new one.
The name Aamond would obviously make people distrust him.
“I’ll go with something that sounds intelligent.”
Well, who would listen if it were just almonds, haha
The commander is Aamond lol it’s hell
Hoodu GG
The name he chose was quite straightforward.
[Clever Young Man]
-?
ㅋㅋㅋ is Korean onomatopoeia for laughter (like “haha” or “lol”). The “-ㅁㅊ” part is slang/abbreviated Korean that’s difficult to translate literally, but the overall expression conveys amusement.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 114]
A natural English equivalent would be:
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 116]

Lol, just straight up lying
Do you remember when we used to play puzzle games before? lol
And so, the commander gameplay of Clever Young Man, Sang-hyun Yu, began.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 121]
* * *
Boom!
The village hall erupts in flames and explodes in an instant.
And two words appear on the monitor.
[Defeat]
The clever young man, Sanghyeon, stared blankly at his reflection in the monitor.
In one corner, the chat window scrolls rapidly upward.
Hahahahahaha
Haha, seriously/damn it
Hahahahaha
hahahaha
That’s the worst lol
“I learned so much from Cookie… but this is strange… why do only weird guys show up.”
Thirteen minutes. Game over.
Honestly, I didn’t have high expectations, but nobody predicted it would end this quickly.
-Bontovi? Here comes Bonto!
You’re not as good as Born to Be ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
And lol, is this a national team competition PM?
Cookie malfunction lol
“Moving to the next game.”
I didn’t hesitate and immediately entered the next match.
The result was fifteen minutes.
[Defeat]
Fifteen minutes. Another loss.
Two minutes longer.
Ding.
[Rubisword donated 50,000 won.]
[The clever young man… defeated.]
hahahahahaha
Oh my god, haha!
-The mercenaries’ expressions are hilarious
and it comes out real lol
-God did not grant him two talents…
Sanghyeon didn’t even respond and turned to Q again.
Click! Click!
This time, the movements were definitely better than before.
The mouse moved quickly, spreading out the workers and gathering the soldiers.
“Okay. Okay!”
I was getting excited and even tapping out a rhythm.
A moment later.
Crash!
[Defeat]
I set a remarkable record, losing in just 11 minutes.
-???: Okay okay!
hahahaha
-It’s exploding again
-I went to the bathroom and came back… The country’s ruined! Okay okay!
-F…Fast.
“Sigh.”
I stare blankly at the monitor for a moment.
Even as I do, donations and chat messages continue pouring in.
Ding.
[Invincible Logic donated 10,000 won.]
[You say you beat me? That was just my afterimage, you know?]
Haha, seriously though lol
-11 minutes is basically an afterimage
Hahahaha
That’s unbeatable, for real.
-What a clever young man…
Ding.
[Mom Carer donated 3,000 won.]
[Son! If you don’t study! You’ll end up like Almond when you grow up!?]
hahahahaha lol
Haha, pfft lol
-I think I could do better honestly
-Cookie needs reevaluation for playing games with this guy
And on the other hand, it’s crazy that I got MVP with this level of game understanding lol
-What? You want to become Almond when you grow up? Drop and give me twenty.
[Suspicion donated 10,000 won.]
[Isn’t this a shoutout to Cookie? You’re saying Cookie should’ve gotten MVP, right? Right? This is Cookie’s paid promotion, right?]
Sanghyeon had no mental capacity to refute this conspiracy theory.
Because I had my own different conspiracy theory.
“Ah… This is strange… It feels like only weird people are coming. Is this a snipe attack?”
Hahahahaha
When I actually got sniped, I was killing people without even knowing what was happening lol
Sniping lol
-How are 200 people all sniping you bro;
-Truly a clever young man…
Someone makes a suggestion to me, still wearing an expression of suspicion.
Ding.
[Tangkong donated 10,000 won.]
Game History Evaluation Let’s Go
When a Commander finishes a game, they receive evaluations from the mercenaries they hired.
Some mercenaries left reviews, while others didn’t.
It was like a restaurant review system.
“Commander ratings? There shouldn’t be many of those yet…”
Almond had only run exactly three games, so there wouldn’t be many reviews.
Of course, that would be the normal case…
‘?’
Iryeolsuga.
[+279]
Looking at the number of accumulated reviews, it seemed far beyond the normal case.
No, haha
Almost half of the 600 people lol I couldn’t hold it in haha
Haha, isn’t there a fire here?
It’s a hot spot lol
-Wow
-Is this a bug?
I’m scared to open it lol
Thank goodness there are no stars lol
At this, Sanghyeon slowly checks the clock.
“Well. That was fun~”
He decided not to open Pandora’s box on purpose!
Ding.
[Couch Expert donated 10,000 won.]
[That decision you made today is GOAT.]
“Couch Expert, thank you.”
Hahahahahahaha
-His evasion skills are insane as expected
“Fart expert lol”
Haha lol
-The world’s #1 Survival Challenge player looks like a coward?
Ah, I really want to see that lol
Given the boss’s nature, it seems like they’ll show it once the collections reach a certain amount lol
-Can we unlock the ratings for 1 million won in donations?
“That’s all for today’s stream~”
And so Almond’s Commander broadcast, suspected of being a Cookie advertisement, came to an end.

Don’t go ㅠㅠㅠ
It seems like it took less than 40 minutes to play three games lol
After that, no one ever saw the intelligent young man again, or so the story goes.
[UNTRANSLATED LINE 243]
* * *
For the next month, I couldn’t play the capsule game.
I managed to get through the first day using the Civil Empire Commander mode.
But truthfully, I had nothing prepared after that.
In a way, this period was a crisis for me as Streamer Almond.
“Sigh.”
Jia exhaled a troubled sigh.
The live broadcast was problematic, but the Alltube channel was in crisis too.
If he didn’t play games, there would be fewer and fewer things to upload.
Even if Almond could draw good responses through talk segments and simple games, a whole month felt daunting.
‘Do I need a new concept?’
Until now, Almond’s Alltube channel concept had been quite solid.
It could be summed up in just one line: “Skilled gamer Almond’s super plays.”
Jia was particularly skilled at editing Almond’s gameplay, but other areas were ambiguous.
After all, she got into this work by uploading Almond mad movies in the first place, so there was no need to say more.
“Hmm.”
Jia searched through Almond’s past Alltube videos for ones that were popular despite not being gameplay footage, or ones that got good reactions without any gaming.
There were some like that, but not many.
‘But those can’t be the main dish.’
Those were just occasional snacks.
Macarons taste good when eaten occasionally, but if you tried to make them your staple diet, anyone would make a face.
‘Still, at least… I have this.’
But this wasn’t an urgent concern.
She had some time.
There was already one video prepared to upload to Almond’s channel.
And it was a video whose success was guaranteed.
Ding.
[Fake National Team Last Ep. Miracle]
[First premiere in 1 hour!]
That’s right.
Fake National Team had been uploaded.
-Whoa, seriously?
-Is this real?
-Wow, they did it like this?
