The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 042
14. Assemble! (3)
The eighties were better.
Back then, I would’ve just smashed it with a bat. Absolutely.
Huh?
The world got better?
They handle modeling however they please and make this kind of deduction possible!?
“Sigh.”
He exhaled heavily, reminiscing about the eighties.
CEO Jeong—he was born in 2001.
An angry thumb rapidly completed a sentence within the phone.
[Modeling Department. Assemble.]

* * *
Zzzing.
The phones of the Modeling Department employees, who were just beginning to drift off to sleep, suddenly rang.
“…Assemble?”
Employees rubbed their drowsy eyes, confirming the unbelievable message.
“What kind of joke is this?”
Assemble in the 2030s? What kind of prank was this?
Besides, how long had it been since the game was completed and launched?
The developers all had similar reactions.
“Ugh. Our CEO’s being very MZ generation about this.”
“This generation really….”
“Did he send it by mistake?”
Either the message came by accident, or the CEO was spouting nonsense again.
Not a single person took it seriously.
That made sense because Ghost Busters’ production company was quite autonomous.
Especially the development department—it was the freest place of all, so this reaction was natural.
However—
‘Huh?’
—Zzzing. Zing.
Their expressions all changed at the following message.
[CEO: It looks like the main villain can be identified from the modeling quality difference in the model club villain arc.]
The main villain exposed due to modeling quality differences?
It wasn’t about getting scolded by the CEO—as developers, there was no greater humiliation than this.
[CEO: The game already launched and it’s being revealed in real-time during major streamers’ broadcasts.]
And that scene was being exposed right now in real-time during a major streamer’s broadcast?
“….”
Whoosh.
Several employees began to break out in cold sweat, still wrapped under their blankets.
‘Insane. Seriously?’
‘If it’s like this….’
They all rose from their seats.
[CEO: This matter appears urgent. Please log in everyone.]
Everyone shared the same thought.
‘An emergency gathering….’
‘We have to, right?’
An all-nighter.
At least online, anyway.

* * *
At this very moment, developers who were about to fall asleep were all sitting in front of their laptops.
Almond and Balloon Gum.
Their Ghost Busters gameplay was becoming a hot topic even at this early morning hour.
[Can you even watch Almond’s stream at dawn? He’s still going??]
Wow, Almond is broadcasting at this hour ㅠㅠ
[Almond Bread! You can fall asleep just hearing his voice?! Hahahaha(oops)]
First of all, it was becoming a hot topic because it was rare for Almond’s broadcast time to shift this late.
Almond’s usual broadcast time was from around 3 PM, after lunch, until 10 PM.
After his condition improved with the dedicated capsule, he maintained about 7-8 hours of broadcast time.
But today, he turned on the stream at night to match Balloon Gum’s schedule.
As time passed by about 5 hours, it was now approaching 1 AM.
One might think streaming at this hour would be inefficient.
But surprisingly, the peak hours in the streaming industry were from 10 PM to 4 AM.
Top-tier streamers had always dominated this time slot since the past.
The same went for Balloon Gum, and thanks to that, Almond, who was doing a joint broadcast, ended up streaming during that time as well.
So there was no way the number of viewers wouldn’t be significantly higher.
[Current viewers: 174,000]
Surpassing the previous peak of 140,000, now exceeding 150,000, and now even surpassing 170,000 viewers.
With so many viewers, all sorts of information was spreading through the community.
3rd place) A post that went up on the developers’ community right now lol
One such post made it to the 3rd place trending issues.
==== ====
This was posted on the developer community Duckfoot lol
Ugh, some streamer was advertising and suddenly broke the game, so I got called to the boss’s office out of nowhere; game development is really tough.
Anyone can see that’s obviously that production company, lol.
==== ====
That’s hilarious lol
-Seems like it’s true???
-LMAOOO did he actually get called out???
It’s hilarious that people say he ruined the game lol what is this, an arcade game lol
-Looking at the timing, it’s gotta be real??

* * *
At that same moment, the Kim Kim Duo.
“I-it’s really a match, isn’t it?”
He’d actually identified the culprit.
“Damn it!”
Bang!
Kim Gwajang shot to his feet with a shriek.
“Ahhhhhhh!”
Kim Gwajang twisted his body in exasperation, as if he’d lose his mind.
Meanwhile, Manager Kim remained motionless.
Bewildered, he simply stared blankly at the monitor.
‘How is this possible?’
Did he really figure it out just from appearance?
[The polygon count is approximately 20% higher.]
Is that actually the case?
Wouldn’t polygon count naturally increase if the shape just looks a bit rounder?
I can’t comprehend this. What do you even call this phenomenon?
Is this the price of touching Balloon Gum, the one chosen by the constellation of broadcasting?
That might very well be it.
It was the consequence of being too greedy in the contract.
And besides, a company is an organizational society.
Sins are paid for together.
Unexpected notifications began ringing from their computers.
Ding. Ding. Ding.
[Jinyong Kim has logged in]
[Taekseong Lee has logged in]
[Jinhyun Oh has logged in]
.
.
.
Several employees were logging into the company network.
It’s 1 AM right now?
I clicked on the notifications.
Exactly the department members involved in the modeling were logged in.
Ding.
[Seongjin Jeong has logged in]
And that included the CEO.
“!?”
Manager Kim jolted in surprise at the CEO’s login indicator and quickly sat back down.
“…C, CEO, why are you logging in? And what is this… did you really summon the modeling department??”
“It seems like it?”
The modeling department assembly I’d mentioned half-jokingly had actually happened.
Manager Kim felt goosebumps rise across his skin.
“Could the CEO have heard what we said?”
“That can’t be. Well… he’s probably watching the broadcast.”
“The broadcast… Ah. The broadcast… the broadcast!??!”
Manager Kim’s face went pale.
“Insane. He, he watched this?”
“There’s no other way it would’ve been assembled like this… Oh.”
Manager Kim realized mid-sentence what it meant that the CEO was currently watching the broadcast, and he clamped his mouth shut.
“W, what do we do?”
The CEO was watching.
He was watching these two streamers they’d spent all that money recruiting bust a non-ghost game.
An Aghwi flying through the sky, a Jibakryeong disappearing into a mouse hole, finding the culprit not by genetic code but by polygon code….
He’d seen this entire spectacle.
“….”
The Kim Kim Duo stared at each other in silence for a while.
Both their eyes were trembling simultaneously.
If the lighting had been right, it would’ve looked like a scene from a romance film—their eyes were trembling so intensely.
The reality was far from such sweetness.
“Hey. Um… I heard on Namu Wiki that Almond’s reactions are reckless. Is that true?”
Terror.
That emotion alone seemed to consume Manager Kim.
And for good reason—he was the one responsible, unlike Manager Kim.
“…Yes?”
“He goes reckless if you give him enough money.”
“B, but the current King’s Turn mission is 2 million won. How much would we have to give for him to go reckless?! He hasn’t done that in ages!”
“In the early days of the broadcast, he’d do it for just 100,000 won?”
“That was the early days.”
“Damn, he’s lost his original spirit!”
“Your salary lost its original spirit too, didn’t it?”
“Salary?”
Manager Kim’s eyes gleamed as he said that.
Manager Kim felt goosebumps rise.
‘Surely not.’
He wondered if he’d really say that, but surely didn’t betray him.
“I’m thinking of it as a loss of salary, so around 300,000…”
“But you said you’re getting married this year!”
“W-well, can’t we use the company card instead? This is for the company too, right?”
“Are you insane!?”
Manager Kim looked like he’d lost his mind.

* * *
Truth be told, I was on the verge of losing mine as well.
‘What’s going on?’
It was none other than Almond.
He’d clearly finished his deduction.
I was certain all that remained was to shoot and kill the culprit.
But Balloon Gum was vehemently opposed.
“I’m telling you, he’s not that kind of person!”
“…So why, then.”
He was spouting nonsensical excuses, blocking the identification of the culprit.
“H-his face looks virtuous!”
“Does that even make sense, brother?”
-??
-What’s with the double standards lol
-Turning the tables lol
-What am I even hearing right now lol
-Mond… you knew it didn’t make sense too??
“Move aside. I’ll just do it painlessly…”
Almond’s hand rose toward his sword.
“N-no! You can’t do that!?”
“No, you can. I learned from Bread. One clean stroke…”
“That’s not the point!”
-lololol
Ugh, I give up on being handsome in this lifetime ㅠㅠ
-Bread’s sword technique is terrifying
-You can do it lol
-Handsome vs ugly lol
He was blocking to protect the only senior who’d ever called him handsome.
But there was no way Balloon Gum could stop the blade of the National Tournament Finals MVP.
Shing!
The sword was drawn in an instant, reflecting the fluorescent light.
Almond’s body surged forward toward my senior in a flash.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaah!”
“W-what!? Where did that sword come from!?”
The model club descended into chaos the moment Almond drew his sword.
“No, this won’t do!”
Balloon Gum quickly struck the wooden block, activating the Department Manager skill.
Was it sheer desperation?
“Mahabannya~~”
His Department Manager barrier materialized perfectly in one flawless beat.
Right at the Senior’s escape route.
“Everyone! Run, run away! Run… Gack!”
Thunk!
“?”
The Senior slammed into an invisible wall.
He pressed his palms against it desperately, his face twisted in despair.
“Why… why is this happening?”
His gaze immediately turned toward Balloon Gum.
Filled with resentment.
“Oops.”
Hahahahahaha
Haha, damn it lol
Why though ㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Your words say one thing~ but your body’s honest, right Kkeom?
lol
Hahahahaha
Shhhhwiiing!
Almond’s blade tore through the air, slashing toward the Senior.
Perfect teamwork.
This kind of play always brought in generous donations.
Ding ding ding!
[Kkeom’s Commandment donated 10,000 won.]
[If Balloon Gum has your back, strap a shield to your back instead—you’ll get more wounds there.]
Hahahahaha lol hahahaha
I haven’t heard that in a while, the gum commercial jingle lol
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
[Kkeom’s Sad Story donated 30,000 won.]
[If you’re falling off a cliff and Balloon Gum grabs your hand, just let go—your survival rate is higher.]
Hahahahaha
You’re going too far, seriously lol
-Now that’s the spirit~
That’s a funny story lol
[Pacthos donated 5,000 won.]
[Almond says he’ll kill you, and Balloon Gum says he’ll save you? 200% guaranteed death.]
-LMAOOOOOOO
-The flags just doubled!
-The back part is way more thrilling, right? Or is that just me?
-HAHAHAHA
-Correct! I’m choosing the back!
