The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 38
13. The Model Club (2)
Balloon Gum is a game streamer, yet he plays games terribly.
By “terribly,” I don’t mean he’s merely below professional level.
He plays so poorly that viewers find themselves grinding their teeth in frustration.
In other words, he’s worse than an average person who plays games once in a blue moon.
Yet when it comes to streaming, he’s among the absolute best.
Why is that?
Because he’s an entertaining person? Because his incompetence at gaming is itself entertaining?
Both are true, but that’s not the core reason.
There’s one nickname that follows Balloon Gum around.
“The One Chosen by the God of Broadcasting.”
Just as Manager Kim keeps muttering now.
He was chosen by the god of broadcasting.
Wait, this isn’t some constellation novel—how was he chosen?
Is he a reader of some web novel?
If anyone were to ask that, Manager Kim would want to say this:
“Look at this.”
Lift your head and witness this Ghost Busters King right now.
And not just this—show them the countless game videos from before.
For Balloon Gum, the necessary always happens at the necessary moment.
Whether it’s devastating misfortune or devastating luck.
[Should we join a club?]
[But which one?]
[The model club.]
Look at Balloon Gum picking the model club without a moment’s hesitation.
He’s already beyond ordinary.
Most gamers wouldn’t move so recklessly.
They’d gather more evidence first before acting.
Whether there’s freedom to join clubs, which club to choose, what evidence exists.
That’s the kind of deliberate movement they’d make before deciding.
Balloon Gum’s decision right now is on a different level entirely.
It’s like being told to find some Kim in one Seoul neighborhood, then deciding to go up to hundreds or thousands of Kims and shove a microphone in their faces.
Usually people want to narrow it down more.
But Balloon Gum just chose.
Normally, that would be a stupid choice.
It should be.
‘Damn it!’
He nailed the right answer on the first try.
‘What? Is this guy actually blessed by the gods?’
Balloon Gum had completely erased all of his deductive process.
Witnessing this, Manager Kim remarked from beside him.
“Wow. But they really made the game well, didn’t they? Huh? It didn’t seem like there was much freedom of action. Yet he just infiltrates the club like that? And the school is running in real-time too.”
His surprise was understandable.
It was a reckless infiltration with no hints whatsoever.
Yet the story seemed quite solid.
‘Well, it’s a prepared story after all!’
In truth, it was simply a pre-designed area from the start.
Not every area was structured this tightly.
However, Manager Kim no longer bothered telling Manager Kim the truth.
“W-well, they certainly did make Act 2 onwards quite well. Haha….”
Acknowledging it would only bring stress.

* * *
‘That’s possible?’
That was Almond’s thought when he first heard the suggestion to infiltrate the club.
Based on the game’s quality he’d seen so far, it didn’t seem like this degree of freedom would be available.
However, Almond trusted Balloon Gum in this regard.
‘He’s been gaming for how long now. It should work.’
Even if he didn’t know Balloon Gum’s gaming skill, he had absolute faith in his gaming experience.
If he judged that the freedom was this extensive, it was probably correct.
“Just wait a moment.”
Balloon Gum fiddled with the menu for a bit before discovering something.
“Oh. Look at this. There’s in-game time too, everyone. Day and night have appeared.”
Ghost Busters had time flowing within the game starting from Act 2.
As time passed, day and night alternated, and players could choose the time to move around.
They could freely explore the areas near the Sungdeok University campus as desired during their chosen time.
Compared to Act 1, there was considerable freedom of action.
Originally, this fact was designed to be discovered through conversations with NPCs.
“Wow. This game is pretty good?”
Balloon Gum figured it out just by examining the menu a few times from where he stood.
“I think we can just go out?”

* * *
I exited the hospital building as Balloon Gum insisted.
Then a perfectly rendered campus map greeted us.
Boom.
[Sungdeok University Campus]
Seeing a message like this meant we could now roam freely wherever we wanted.
Gum carry ㄷㄷ
-Wow, things are progressing smoothly
-Does it just work like this??
-For real, campus exploration mode?
Surprisingly good quality, wow.
-What’s with all this freedom
“Alright. Good. Let’s find the modeling club. It’s still lunch time, right?”
“What about Suyeon?”
“Hey. Mond. Have you ever done a one-day game like this?”
Right in front of Almond, who was actually trying out a one-day game, Balloon Gum waved his hand with complete confidence.
“She’ll show up when the time comes.”
Ding.
[Balloon Theater donated 5,000 won.]
[Balloon Gum really dislikes Suyeon… just dislikes her.]
hahahaha
-Treating her like an NPC
-Fair enough~
Haha, but honestly it seems like it’ll just show up anyway.
Getting kicked by a female college soccer player after eating -40 would suck, not gonna lie lol
“Ugh, be quiet! I’m telling you she’ll show up!”
Balloon Gum bristled at the donation hitting a nerve and ignored it.
So we wandered around the campus searching for the modeling club’s location.
“Excuse me.”
Every time I tried to speak to someone─
“─Nah, I’m not buying.”
“Sorry. I don’t believe you either~”
Was it because of our outfits?
The college students wouldn’t engage with us.
Hahahahaha, that’s so unrealistic lol
One guy walks around wearing a traditional hat and sword, and the other one is a Buddhist monk lol that’s weird lol
Hahahahaha, this is so funny haha
-Even face ID is broken with that fashion;
“Ugh… Should we just go to the crossroads Metabucks instead?”
“It’s a metaverse.”
It was MetaBucks.
The two of them were heading toward the main gate, wondering if they should check that other suspicious location first.
That’s when they realized why they’d been ignored.
“Join the travel club! Before the cherry blossoms fall! You’ll make meaningful connections!”
“Come join the beer club! Free beer at the festival!”
“If you join the camping club, we’ll teach you everything! We’ll even give you a basic pop-up tent as a starter pack!”
It turned out this was the beginning of the semester.
All the clubs on campus were promoting themselves at the entrance to the newly admitted freshmen.
So when people in strange outfits approached asking questions, they naturally assumed it was club recruitment.
Like some kind of exorcism club promotion.
-Lol they have everything here
-There’s probably a modeling club too!
-Hahaha what kind of nonsense is this hahaha
-Keenking time flies~
Almond pressed his forehead in disappointment.
‘Damn it.’
If all the club promotions were happening here, there would naturally be a modeling club too.
If I’d come here sooner, I would have found it.
Almond was getting into position to run, when—
“We’re the exorcism club! You saw the news about those students who fell into a coma recently, right? That was us!”
“Um…?”
“Oh, no! I don’t mean we put them in a coma… I mean, it’s kind of similar, but… uh…”
“Ugh, no thanks!”
“Wait, that’s not what I meant! Those people were supposed to die, but they ended up in a coma instead! Ha! Really!”
It was Suyeon from the exorcism club.
She was also doing recruitment here.
Just as Balloon Gum had said, she’d shown up on her own.
He’s bragging about putting her in a coma lol
Hahahahaha
Who does promotion like that lol
Haha, that’s hilarious!
“Huh!?”
Suyeon spotted Almond and Balloon Gum.
She suddenly started running toward them frantically.
“Almondbbang~!”
-?
-What is she saying
What’s with that tone lol
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
-AI bug lol
-What kind of bread is that?
She rushed toward Almond with more enthusiasm than ever before, clasping both his hands in greeting.
“Where have you been? Please help us promote our club! You’re a real exorcist, aren’t you!?”
Balloon Gum stops her from the side.
“Hey… Suyeon. The problem is that we actually have a real exorcist in the club.”
“What? Then we’re supposed to have a fake exorcist instead?”
Hahahahahaha
Why do you talk like that with balloon gum lol
Hahaha bubble gum hahaha
But seriously, what would we even do if an exorcist actually existed lol
Who actually goes to an exorcism club to do real exorcisms lol
“We can’t promote the exorcism club right now.”
“What? Why not!”
When Almond refuses, Suyeon’s face falls with disappointment.
“Well, we’re still tracking down the mastermind behind that incident. We’re trying to infiltrate the modeling club.”
“You traitor!”
“No…”
I was never part of your club in the first place.
“Ugh! I don’t want to hear traitors talk! If we don’t get new members this time, our club is finished! And everyone already ran away after seeing that ghost last time!”
Why would she say that so loudly?
Almond scratches his head without saying anything.
“A… a ghost? You saw a ghost?”
“Wow. Those guys must be completely insane.”
“Look at their clothes. They’re not in their right minds.”
All the passing students whisper and avoid them.
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
The club is ruined lol
-Why don’t we change the concept to a cosplay club right now?
An exorcism club that goes broke if they actually perform exorcisms lol
Seeing Suyeon’s dejected expression, Almond’s heart wavered slightly.
“Is helping Suyeon with her work part of the Quest?”
I cautiously make this guess.
Balloon Gum refuses.
“No. That can’t be it.”
Haha, he’s only cold to Suyeon haha
Why are you being so firm about it lol
Hahaha what is this lol no basis haha
-Balloon Gum dislikes Suyeon.
-Basis: Just doesn’t like her
“Let’s find the modeling club first. She said she’d just come along, right?”
“…Is that so?”
The two of us resumed our search for the modeling club.
It didn’t take long.
With tall, slender figures gathered together holding signs and walking around, we spotted them immediately.
“Come join the modeling club~!”
“Walking, posture correction, everything’s free~ Even if you don’t model, it’ll improve your quality of life~”
Especially since the group consisted of exceptionally attractive people, the students’ attention naturally gravitated toward them.
The problem was that while their eyes were drawn, no one actually approached to sign up.
It seemed intimidating to join in.
This club’s strategy also seemed slightly off, much like the exorcism club.
However, two men in clothes that seemed entirely out of place stepped forward.
Boom.
Two shadows cast down.
One stretched upward, one rounded.
“…?”
The person sitting at the table adjusted his refined glasses and asked.
“What brings you here….”
Haha, I never would have thought you came here to get an autograph lol
Hahaha, that expression haha
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
-Wait are they really going in???
“We’d like to join the club.”
The glasses gleamed briefly as suspicion flickered across his eyes.
Eventually, he picked up a pen.
“Ah, ah… Is that so? Haha. Your, your fashion sense is… hyperreal.”
What the heck is hyperreal?
Mentioning it anyway in the end lol
-It means genuinely authentic
Thud.
A notebook and pen were placed in front of us.
“Please write down your student ID and name, phone number. You’ll also need to show your student ID.”
Oh.
In that moment, Balloon Gum’s and my eyes met.
‘We don’t have any of that, do we?’
‘What?’
This wasn’t going to work.
“…Why? If you didn’t bring your student ID, you can verify it through the app.”
“No. Um, could we perhaps step aside and talk for a moment?”
“Of course.”
Balloon Gum dragged me away.
“Hey, hey. Do we have our phone number?”
“Yes. We do. But… the student ID number… the student card too…”
When I open the menu, the phone number is listed there.
The mobile phone is also safely in my pocket.
But there’s no student ID number, and no student card.
“Damn… is this not it?”
“What do we do?”
“Think about it.”
“…Sigh.”
“Think, no, try to deduce something. Almondoil!”
Balloon Gum grabs Almond and shakes him.
Hahaha
That’s hilarious, Amondo
Then you’re coming out? lol

* * *
“Uh, uh-haha! It’s blocked like this! Uh-aha-ha!”
This person laughing like Manager Kim is actually Manager Kim.
They’re both blocked by a barrier neither of them remembers, and they’re so delighted that laughter just bursts out naturally.
“Oh. Really? It’s blocked like this!? You said it was going smoothly. As expected!”
Manager Kim chimes in and tosses a potato chip into his mouth.
Crunch.
“What happens now?”
“Originally, you’re supposed to investigate step by step and naturally receive orders to enter. That NPC creates all the student ID numbers and identification like that.”
“Really? So you skipped the steps? Now you have to go back and do all of that again?”
“That’s correct.”
“Uh-ha-ha! Then it’ll take much longer. Serves them right… huh?”
Manager Kim’s expression hardens.
“But who are those people kidnapping?”
Crash!
Balloon Gum and Almond grab someone, knock them down, and drag them toward the bathroom.
“Is that also one of the steps?”
“…”
Manager Kim’s eyes trembled wildly.
‘Insane.’
-Kyaa
-So this is also ‘deduction’?
Just do it like this lol
Hahahahahahaha
“Are you asking if it’s GTA? lol”
Why even take the college entrance exam! Just knock them out and steal it, then you become a college student~ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
