The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 060
20. Ghost Busters (3)
As countless Almonds raised their talismans in unison.
Most people would have thought the game ended right there.
But Manager Kim glimpsed a sliver of hope.
‘If… if they throw them at the exact same time like this!?’
Just because Almond threw the talismans simultaneously didn’t mean the damage would hit the boss all at once.
The talisman in the front row would connect first.
The moment the Patriarch took that hit, he would change his type, and then all the remaining talismans would become nothing but simple crowd control with no damage.
‘Good. There’s still time. Still…!’
If the Patriarch changed types and then unleashed a full-area attack, this doppelgänger duplication catastrophe would be resolved in an instant.
However—
‘Huh?’
—Whoooosh!
Talismans streaked through the air, drawing five-colored light trails.
“”Chiki-cha!””
Countless Almonds threw their talismans in unison.
No, not in unison.
These were the Almonds in the very back.
Only the Almonds in the rearmost row had thrown their talismans.
‘No way.’
Despair flashed across Manager Kim’s face.
And with a slight delay, the Almonds in the next row cried out.
“”Chiki-cha!””
Then the row after that.
“”Chiki-cha!””
Like riding a wave, row after row threw their talismans in sequence.
“”Chiki-cha!””
“”Chiki-cha!””
“”Chiki-cha!””
.
.
.
Manager Kim was left speechless.
‘Is he… controlling all of them?’
The problem was that Almond was controlling every single one of those doppelgängers.
Of course, it wasn’t the kind of control where each one moved as if independently alive.
But considering the sheer numbers, the fact that he could coordinate them like this was simply impossible.
If this were an ordinary person, they wouldn’t have shown any movement at all and would have disappeared completely.
Only now, as the game was nearly finished, did Manager Kim finally realize who he was facing.
‘Damn it.’
My current opponent is Almond.
A physical monster, national tournament champion, someone with identical VNS stats to Jeon-ja-pa.
‘Damn it!!’
The control is absolutely absurd.
It doesn’t seem possible for even both hands to move with such systematic precision.
All of his clones were throwing talismans at their respective positions, perfectly timed.
The five-colored lines they traced.
Not a single error.
All perfectly overlapped into one.
‘If this continues….’
All those talismans will land at the exact same moment?
Is such a thing even possible?
I couldn’t believe it.
Whoooooosh!
The monitor screen blazed white.
“Ugh.”
My eyes were blinded.
Manager Kim and Kim Gwajang turned their heads away.

* * *
The beginning of all this wasn’t actually an advertisement—it was a mission.
[ak47 has registered a mission.]
[Going for that first-clear bonus~]
A viewer who suddenly appeared had placed a large sum of money on a mission.
A new type of mission Almond had never attempted before.
[Ghost Busters First Clear]
[2,000,000 won]
It was a first-clear bonus mission.
Any comprehensive game streamer would attempt such a mission at least once.
But Almond had been unable to challenge it due to circumstances.
Most viewers were well aware of this situation, so they had never placed such a mission before.
Perhaps that’s why many viewers showed negative reactions when this mission was placed that day.
-Is this even possible??
-Huh?? Almond can’t do first clears, right?
-Why take on such a reckless mission;
-He’ll probably give up halfway… please adjust it yourself, Almond
-This is crazy
Thus, the initial reception was not entirely smooth.
Especially after the pure playtime was revealed, even more people grew worried.
-How are they even managing that time?
-Forget it, just cancel it.
-Can we?
But Almond had decided to go through with it.
Once the game actually started, my worries about stamina issues nearly vanished.
Why?
-Jibakryeong glitching???
-Huh??
Bug lol
-lol where does Aghwi even end lol
I bulldozed through the game using various glitches, creative deduction, and problem-solving skills.
Wind God Bubble Gum is crazy
-Almond’s duplicating!!
-lol
-the game literally froze lol
-???: Please refund this
Over approximately eight hours, Almond and Balloon Gum succeeded in pushing the final stage and final boss to the brink of defeat.
The end was nearly in sight.
Actually, it was essentially over.
At that moment, a man sitting before a computer in a dark room stretched and muttered to himself.
“Phew. I finally pulled it off.”
*Ssshhh.*
He wore a smile whose meaning was difficult to discern.
“So he controlled all of that. It really is no joke, just as I heard?”
He typed into a notepad as if meticulously recording Almond’s specifications.
==== ====
Play Time: Low. 8+ hours possible? (Full concentration questionable)
Multitasking: Excellent. Hundreds of clones controlled.
Combat Ability: High~Excellent. Likely exceeds excellent tier with bow.
.
.
.
==== ====
A notepad documenting Almond’s gaming abilities.
After adding further notes to it.
He opened another window and typed this.
*Tap tap tap…*
[Wow! He actually cleared it!]
*Click.*
He pressed a certain button with his mouse.
I stood up from the computer and entered my capsule.
*Whirrrrr.*
Shortly after he entered, a broadcast began on one of the Paprika platform’s channels.
-hey hey
-he’s late today
-what’s up
-orangeshake ordered paprika and lost his momentum?
Pay the lateness fee.
-my neck’s about to snap lol

* * *
Even the simple act of throwing talismans required transcendent concentration to control so many clones simultaneously.
The moment I closed my eyes and opened them again, I had drawn forth the concentration I needed.
And, as always, the result was successful.
*BOOOOOM!!*
All the damage landed within a single frame.
Whether from processing speed or a bug or something, an enormous light burst forth.
It consumed the entire field of vision.
lol
-what
-can’t see
-gasp
-??
-how did this happen?
lol
A moment later.
“*Cough*… *Cough*…!”
Along with Balloon Gum’s coughing sound, the dust cleared.
Vision gradually returned.
“…Oh.”
With my brief exclamation, this message appeared.
*Doodung.*
[Quest “Defeat the Evil Patriarch!” Clear!]
The Evil Patriarch was dead.
Though it felt somewhat anticlimactic, it had been a considerably powerful boss monster.
I didn’t completely let my guard down. There might be something more after Jinmyeongsu, after all.
But then—
*Ding.*
A small message window appeared at the bottom.
[Ghost Busters Clear]
[Enjoy freely afterwards]
Ghost Busters has come to an end.
-Wow lol
-Seriously
-Insane lol
-Kenning success!
-Crazy lol
-Chiki-chaaaaaaa
I’m crying / I’m so sad
-Wow this
-Balloon Gum champion!
.
.
.
The chat scrolled endlessly.
And sure enough, this notification rang out.
Pabam!
[Mission Success!]
Kenning mission success.
[ak47 has donated a whopping 2 million won!]
[Wow! You actually cleared it!]
“Thank you, ak47.”
-lololololol
-Wow! lol
-Real clear
-From now on, screaming ak47 47 times. Execute.
-Real lol
-This works
-This in 9 hours???
After that, an enormous flood of donations poured in.
Pababam!
[Rubisword has donated a whopping 500,000 won!]
[Advertisement… Chiki-cha!]
-lololololol
-Real lol
-Advertiser attention
-lol this is too much
-No lol
-Real how’s the ad lol
Only then did Almond’s eyes snap wide open. I had been so focused on doing the kenning.
‘Now that I think about it, the advertisement….’
Come to think of it, the ad would be finished in just two days.
Well, time didn’t really matter anyway.
‘I skipped all of it, didn’t I?’
The problem was that most of the content had vanished.
At this, I scratched my head and rationalized it like this.
“Well… you know how trailers don’t show all the content either? Think of it like that. Rubisword, thank you.”
-?
-But there are separate trailers?
Hahahahaha trailer haha
Pabapam!
[GoTuBu Production Team donated 300,000 won.]
[Oh, so this is a teaser trailer announcing that you’ll be filming an advertisement?]
“Haha….”
I couldn’t tell if this person was serious or not.
So I held my tongue.
Hahahaha
What the heck, seriously??
“Are you serious? lol”
Ad teaser lol
After that, numerous viewers sent congratulations donations for clearing the game.
Pabam!
[Name donated 100,000 won.]
[Game Busters! Clear Success]
Pabam!
[Nyang Nyang Punch donated 100,000 won.]
[Clear King Chiki-cha~]
.
.
.
While a stream of donations continued.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!”
Suyeon let out a scream.
“We cleared it! We did! The Ghost Busting Club!”
-?
-Isn’t it the Model Club?
“The exorcism club lol”
I’m dying laughing
Exorcism club 1 person, model club 2 people lol
She picked up the camera and began filming the corpse of the fallen evil Patriarch.
Click. Click.
“Oppa, if we make promotional materials with these, won’t a lot of people come?”
‘No. Even fewer will show up.’
Suyeon seemed completely oblivious to why so few people were joining the exorcism club.
Hahahahaha
-Does that even make sense lol
-How is this even possible lol
-She’s literally exorcising us~
Hahahaha lol
-Consider applying to the Vatican, Suyeon
While Suyeon was busy taking photos here and there, even snapping selfies.
“Huh?”
One person looked around, blinking in confusion.
“What is this. What is this. Did we beat it? Is it over? Why are you donating like this? Is it really over? Is this a trick?”
It was Balloon Gum.
Hahahahahahaha
lol so funny
-Slower than an NPC lol
haha that’s hilarious
Hahaha / LOL
He still couldn’t accept that the game had truly ended.
“Wait, so you’re saying all those talismans you threw actually hit?”
It was an accuracy that defied his common sense.
“Wow, really? Huh? What?”
Then Suyeon came over and dragged Balloon Gum along.
Tug.
“Ugh. Mister! Stop muttering and come here!”
“Huh?”
“Almond oppa~! Come over here and take a picture of us. Okay?”
“….”
For a moment, wind energy seemed to gather around Balloon Gum’s staff again, but he held back.
Hahahahaha
-What’s with the discrimination lol
-If you’re discriminating based on damage dealt, that’s true
-It’s not discrimination, it’s differentiation
“Yeah, okay.”
Almond stood before the collapsed Jinmyeongsu, and Balloon Gum was dragged over to Suyeon and positioned.
“Mister, can you hold this up as a tripod?”
Suyeon was asking him to use himself as a tripod instead.
“Yeah. Sure. Where….”
“Ah, wait. What am I doing?”
Can’t you believe it? Haha
I can’t trust you till the end lol
-Balloon Gum can totally do that, man!
Suyeon smacked her own head once, then stepped forward and planted her cross spear into the ground.
Thunk.
She propped her phone diagonally against the handle.
“Perfect. Alright, strike a pose~”
They each grabbed their weapons and struck their own poses.
Suyeon quickly ran over to join them, turning around and flashing a peace sign.
“Exorcism Club~ Fighting~!”
“Fighting~”
Click!
The photo was taken.
Suyeon retrieved her phone and checked the photo.
Hahahahaha
-Oh
As expected, almonds lol
That young master Amondo is scary/creepy.
That bubble gum is so chewy lol
Haha lol
The photo was immediately pinned to SNS with these hashtags.
#RealExorcism #SungdeokUniversity #ExorcismClub #GhostBusters
“Huh? There’s a typo. It should be Ghost…”
The last word had a typo.
But she just laughed it off.
Instead, she turned back and bowed.
“Thank you both for your hard work.”
The three of them left that place and stood in a large corridor.
There were three paths ahead.
One led toward the school, and the other two led to different areas.
“I’m heading to school.”
At Suyeon’s words, Almond and Balloon Gum exchanged glances for a moment.
Both had somehow changed back into their original office worker outfits.
“Thank you for helping us. But… you won’t be exorcising anymore, right?”
That was right. There was no longer any reason to exorcise together.
The two characters shook their heads.
“Alright. Got it. Got it. I won’t bother you anymore. Everyone, go on.”
The characters moved on their own, each walking their separate ways.
“Then. Goodbye~!”
Suyeon tilted her head regretfully before turning around and heading her own way.
“Take care!”
“Let’s never see each other again~!”
ㅠㅠ (This is a Korean emoticon representing crying/tears)
It’s over ㅠㅠ
-What was that last Balloon Gum moment lol
-Sigh…
-That was fun~
Doodung~
The music began.
With refreshing electric guitar accompaniment, the screen split into three sections.
Everyone walked their own paths on their own screens.
The ending credits rolled.
[ART DIRECTION TEAM]
[SIWOO JEONG]

[GHOST BUSTERS]
[The End]
After the final title appeared.
The photographs Suyeon had taken were displayed.
