The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 080
27. Non-Selected Personnel (2)
First day in Cheese Village.
[Healing Game) Surviving in Cheese Village]
This was Almond’s stream title for today.
His current actions seemed hardly to match the theme.
“They drop everything when they die.”
Almond crouched hidden in the brush.
He was plotting to kill someone to obtain a fishing rod.
-You said it was a healing game
I’m already getting tired of it, but it’s a healing game lol
-Isn’t this a killing game?
The Cheese Village is shaky from the start lol
Why are you killing me lol
Since he’d typically resolved problems this way in his usual games, Almond found the viewers’ reactions strange.
Why kill? What kind of question was that?
“Because they drop loot when they die.”
-That’s insane
-Miraculous logic
-Lmao
“Coke car haha”
-“Cyber Psycho”
Haha, that’s true though
Almond adjusted the window and examined something.
“Hold on a moment…”
[Village Rules]
He suddenly began reading the village’s basic regulations.
==== ====
[Murder]
If you commit murder within the village without requesting a duel, you will be marked as a ‘Red Player’.
Once marked as a Red Player, you cannot enter the village for a time and must pay bail or clear your name through trial to be released.
If found guilty through trial, you receive punishment and can return to the village afterward.
==== ====
Having read the murder clause, Almond nodded.
He reached his conclusion.
“There’s nothing saying I can’t kill them, right?”
-?
-??
He dragged out that statement for so long, didn’t he? lol
This bastard just doesn’t read it lol
Did you maybe press Ctrl+F and search for “don’t commit murder” or something? lol
What the hell are you talking about?
The viewers thought Almond had skipped over the fine print again while reading, or perhaps hadn’t read it at all.
But surprisingly, that wasn’t the case.
He had read everything and come to this conclusion.
“There’s only information about what happens if you kill someone, but there’s nothing saying you can’t kill.”
-?
lol
Hahahahahahaha
-Is, is this Aseng-style document reading!?
-Actually though, he’s right??
Hahaha omg hahaha
That’s right lol, you just need bail money
They didn’t write anything ethical.
The village code contains no prohibitions—only consequences for actions.
In other words, what you can and cannot do is entirely left to the player’s judgment.
“And even among the professions….”
Almond pulled out another document and pointed to two specific entries in the job list.
[Plunderer]
[Thief]
“These exist as actual professions!”
-Whoa
What the hell is this??
-What
-Why is this guy suddenly good at presenting evidence
-This game wasn’t supposed to be relaxing…
Hahaha what the heck
-For real
*Ding!*
[Meow Meow Punch donated 10,000 won.]
[Suddenly digging through the code because you want to kill someone is totally psycho energy!]
Hahahahahahaha
Wow, that’s hilarious lol
Haha, you’re talking too much.
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
“Thank you, Meow Meow. That’s not it. I’m still thinking it over. Their equipment looks pretty good….”
I don’t know much about Survival Craft, but I do know that equipment grades in this game are clearly defined and their effects are quite significant.
Those two right now have equipment that looks really good at this point in time.
That’s when it happened.
[10,000 Won Donation Reward]
[Random Buff!]
Almond received a random buff.
[All Speed Increased 30%]
“!”
My hesitation came to an abrupt halt.

* * *
Meanwhile, the Production Team was monitoring the situation in Cheese Village.
“Everyone’s doing something at least. As expected, many are choosing mining at first.”
Park O-hun, working with Department Manager Jang, murmured contentedly as he watched the village come to life.
Department Manager Jang responded to this.
“Yeah. That’s how it goes at first. It’s good for building houses. Quite popular.”
“Herbalists are going too. I can see some people trying fishing.”
The residents who had moved to Cheese Village were each deciding what they wanted to do and dedicating themselves to it.
Though it was currently a barren wasteland with almost no buildings, they would mine materials and gradually construct houses using stone and wood.
After that, the village’s systems would slowly take shape.
“Huh? Wait a moment. Camera 15. Did they meet?”
Camera 15 showed Almond encountering two anonymous Players.
Department Manager Jang quickly issued orders.
“16, 17, 28, 29, 37—all focus on Almond.”
A significant number of cameras began being redirected there.
It was curious. By this point, more cameras should have been needed at Cheese Village’s main base.
One might wonder if Department Manager Jang had a personal connection with Almond and was paying extra attention, but that wasn’t it at all.
“Meeting Paprika already? This guy really is destined for greatness.”
It was the moment the Streamer Paprika and Almond encountered each other.
This event would later become an important turning point in editing.
“Wow… Those people are impressive too. How did they find this place so quickly?”
“Didn’t a lot of skilled gamers transfer to Paprika?”
These were precisely the Streamers who had transferred from Tribby to Paprika.
This plan had faced strong opposition initially.
「What? You’re putting Paprika people into content we invested money in for Cheese? Are you insane?」
It was indeed an insane plan.
But acting rationally in planning isn’t always the right answer.
The Fake National Team was also an irrational piece of content when it was first created.
Department Manager Jang pushed through using his Fake National Team experience and his impressive major channel credentials, ultimately convincing the Cheese officials.
「Really… ugh… if this goes wrong, it’s on you.」
Department Manager Jang smiled, recalling those words.
“This is already looking good.”
Following Department Manager Jang’s plan, the server designers secretly invited the Tribby Streamers who had transferred to Paprika.
They had been given a settlement in a completely remote location, far removed from the current Cheese Village.
They don’t even turn on the broadcast until the promised time.
They’re purely participating in the game itself.
Later, they could upload this footage to OldTube and generate revenue, but for now, live streaming income is cut off.
This clause was included both to make a deal with Cheese and to match the color of this project.
“Is, is this good? I’m really uneasy about this. The fact that people from other platforms are here….”
Park O-hun, on the other hand, was anxious.
He didn’t fully understand Department Manager Jang’s project.
However, Department Manager Jang seemed quite resolute.
“It only makes sense if all the Tribby people are together. Man.”
“…Why, why exactly?”
Why, he asks?
I hadn’t given the employees a separate explanation about this.
I’d only said that the composition would be fun.
‘Since we don’t know how it’ll turn out yet.’
This is just a virtual space—essentially a reality show.
We don’t know how it’ll unfold. That’s the real fun.
Even if a PD has a big picture in mind, you can’t predetermine the flow.
At least, everyone shouldn’t know that flow and then artificially steer things according to it.
“Just. It feels good, right~”
So Department Manager Jang just brushes it off like this.
“Really. You’re always like that.”
Park O-hun shakes his head in exasperation while looking at the monitor.
“Huh?!”
He startles.
“Almond is trying to kill those people right now? If they die, it’ll show up on the entire server window who died!”
The existence of the Paprika streamers is a hidden twist element for now.
If they find out in Cheese Village now, it’ll cause chaos.
“It’s fine.”
Department Manager Jang waves his hand dismissively.
“He can’t kill them right now. O-hun.”
“Why not?”
“Almond is barehanded, and they’ve had decent equipment from the start. Instead of starting in a barren village, they’ve got good weapons and everything.”
That’s right.
Even though the Paprika side has fewer numbers and starts in a barren place, there’s one thing.
Combat-related equipment was given to them with superiority.
That region also had plenty of iron ore, making it easy to craft more equipment later.
“Almond will probably notice the equipment and figure it out, so there’s no way he’d back off…”
Unlike the Kim Kim Duo from some game company’s marketing department in the past, Department Manager Jang hadn’t just known Almond for a day or two.
It didn’t seem like Almond would back off like this.
Just as he predicted, Almond began approaching the two of them.
*Rustle.*
“Hmm….”
Department Manager Jang was growing increasingly anxious.
‘It shouldn’t be possible.’
I thought it wouldn’t work.
But watching him push through the brush and advance, the image of Almond from the international tournament that I’d edited myself overlapped with this moment.
That version of him who made the impossible possible.
Of course, he’s an SD character now.
Still, I was on edge.
“G-go! Camera! Camera!”
“Cameras 16, 17 zoom in!”

* * *
“Hehehehe.”
Huchoo, a streamer who had transferred from Tribby to Paprika.
She laughed while gazing at the distant traces of Cheese Village.
“They have no idea, do they? That we’re involved in the content happening in Cheese?”
“I wonder if they’ll be happy~”
A man beside her casually answered while picking his nose.
He was ‘Salt’.
It was short for Solo Viewer, but now that Tribby had disappeared, the name’s meaning had become vague.
“Sigh. I already miss it. Tribby.”
He longed for his old Tribby streamer friends who were probably playing together over there.
“Then you should’ve gone to Cheese.”
“Paprika is the real powerhouse… Cheese is unstable, you know. That’s why I came to help Cheese.”
“The Paprika side actually said it was fine and told us to go….”
“Ahem. Well anyway. I’m the one who convinced them. Adding pepper to already cooked rice, as they say.”
Paprika streamers coming to create content with Cheese’s money?
For Paprika, it was getting something for nothing.
Approval came instantly, and in the end, all the streamers who had transferred from Tribby to Paprika could participate here.
However, their numbers didn’t even reach twenty.
In other words, the village was considerably small.
The economic scale was proportionally small as well.
“Hehehehe. Honestly, if we want to catch up to them, there’s really only looting, right?”
“Seems like that’s what they called us for. They said the equipment would be better too.”
Despite their smaller numbers, there were advantages.
Unlike the Cheese Village people who entered with no briefing, they had some advance information and could receive better equipment beforehand.
“Well, even with equal gear, we’d beat the Cheese kids.”
“What are you trying to win? Hehe. This is a healing game.”
“No, I don’t mean we strip them bare and beat them. We could win through economic activity too.”
“Does plundering count as economic activity?”
The two locked eyes before suddenly bursting into laughter.
“Pfahahaha!”
“Hehehehe!”
Just thinking about it was thrilling.
The sight of Cheese Village descending into chaos, completely unaware of what was coming.
Imagining the shocked faces of the countless Streamers I knew made my pulse quicken.
Like Students preparing a surprise, the two of us were giddy with excitement.
“After we raid them, what should we do? Should we disguise ourselves as villagers?”
“Can you do that?”
“I bet you can.”
“That’s brilliant!”
The two of us laughed together again.
“Hehehehehehe!”
“Pfahahaha!”
The fun of playing a raider in a game like this was extraordinary.
Everyone seeking relaxation, then suddenly a thief crashes in.
Isn’t that the main villain guaranteed to draw attention?
But these villains hadn’t noticed one thing.
The real villain was already right behind them.
Whoosh!
A black shadow leaped from the bushes.
“!”
