The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 084
28. If You’re Going to Do This, Don’t (3)
When Huchoo died.
The streamer community was already buzzing with speculation.
[Almond Circle) But what are they? They don’t seem to be NPCs?]
Though they hadn’t figured out the names Huchoo and Salt, viewers sensed these beings were fundamentally different from the ordinary Cheese Village residents.
For anyone who’d watched the Circle regularly, this suspicion was entirely justified.
-How would a player have iron weapons right from the start?
└Exactly, they couldn’t exist at this timing. But they don’t act like NPCs either.
-I thought the same thing at first—were they NPCs? But their reactions are way too realistic lol. The Circle’s AI is garbage
So what, another faction? lol The production crew’s preparation, what’s that about?
└For real lol
The possibility of a rival faction’s existence began to surface.
There was more evidence.
-Almond didn’t become a Red Player. Isn’t that weird too?
└Red Player didn’t activate???
└Yeah, didn’t activate
Red Player.
A kind of mark applied when you kill a fellow village resident.
Once you become a Red Player, you can’t purchase land in the village, and NPCs can attack you.
Of course, the detailed rules vary by server design, but one thing’s certain—becoming a Red Player makes you an outcast from the village.
After enough time passes, or if you pay your debt according to server rules, you return to normal.
Yet I had killed two people and hadn’t become a Red Player at all.
I’d never once become a Red Player.
This meant the dead weren’t village residents but something else entirely.
Evidence kept mounting.
[The next one died too and still no Red?]
After Huchoo, Salt also died, yet I still hadn’t become a Red Player.
-Anyway, you’re killing them way too brutally lol
└You’re literally annihilating their dignity lol
└lol you left them in nothing but their underwear
-But why didn’t Red activate? That’s strange?
Salt’s death also left only questions behind.
Posts filled with these suspicions began appearing in the Streamer Garden.
[Cheese Village) Evidence that other villages exist ㄷㄷ]
[Cheese Village Suspicion Summary]
[Evidence that there’s another village]
Perhaps because of the slightly conspiratorial tone of these posts?
People who felt uncomfortable began to emerge.
-You’re writing fiction now lol
-Why are you acting like this, you fakes?
-Is this showing up on Almond’s stream?
└Yeah
-Is this Almond’s stream?
└It shows up on the main broadcast too lol
-Here we go again! Nut Fans getting worked up
Viewers who didn’t normally watch Almond’s stream couldn’t relate to these suspicions at all.
That’s because the streamers they were watching had peacefully settled in the village, farming or mining, or were just at the stage of debating whether to venture outside the village to gather herbs.
[Jello’s farming is a disaster lol Mining instead]
[Dotorimuk is organizing an exploration team outside the village right now]
[Danmuji’s farming skills are insane]
Since many people participated in Cheese’s village project, there were multiple perspectives.
Even watching the same content, if the viewpoint differs, the conversation doesn’t align at all.
Because of this, viewers would switch to broadcasts with the flow they preferred.
In other words, viewer traffic was flowing between the streamers.
Right now, that flow seemed to be tilting toward Almond’s side.
[Almond’s stream updates lol]
-Who are they? Is there another village? Do I need to watch it myself?
└Just watch it, it’s entertaining lol
-Almond’s got a different vibe lol
└This guy just plays differently lol
-Watch Almond’s stream
Viewers were starting to flock toward Almond’s side?
It was inevitable that fans of other streamers would get upset at this phenomenon.
[Nut Clan, stop making a fuss~]
-Seriously, the fuss is too much lol What dog is the protagonist?? lol Jello, Cutie Pie, Ppulranem all showed up
-Nut Fans need to get past Balloon Gum first lol
└Right lol They’re not even in the same weight class, but the Nut Clan’s hype has been legendary since way back
In content where everyone participated together, attention was drawn to some while others were treated as marginal.
Fans couldn’t help but be sensitive about such things.
Especially the niche hardcore fans, whose self-esteem was directly tied to the attention their streamer received, desperately tried to tear down Almond.
└Upset because they’re not getting attention? Why act like that;;; If the main broadcast focus is high, you just call them the protagonist, what else? lol
└The hype is annoying, so we’re saying it. Other villages and whatnot, the Almond they’ve been hyping about always finds everything first~ and all that~ lol Is the whole world Almond?
In this way, fandom conflicts began to heat up.
This was already something cynical communities like Rilpro had predicted long ago.
Big) What? A streamer all-participate content?
Posts were already up on ‘Big’ speaking as if they were preparing for the war that would break out.
==== ====
You ready for civil war?
We’re all set lol Made 250 accounts on the community lol
==== ====
-Civil war lol lol lol lol lol
-Shadow Clone Technique memorized…
-Gotta prep supplies before war, I made 50
-250? What are you, some China broker? lol lol lol lol
-250 lol lol lol
Just as they predicted, the Streamer Garden was indeed heading toward war.
But then—
[Gyeonkka Annihilation) Actually went to a different village]
An event occurred that shook this narrative thread significantly.
-?
-Why is this happening
-For real?
-Is that a different village?
Almond had returned to Paprika Village.
The existence of a village other than Cheese Village—which had only existed in speculation—was now revealed.
Anyone could see that where Almond had gone was clearly not Cheese Village.
-The coordinates are completely different too?
-What?
-What is that place oof
-Scary
The viewers felt fear beyond mere curiosity.
The newly discovered village had not only houses but also grand, impressive structures like a central administrative building.
Their civilization seemed several steps ahead.
-What is that place?
-Wait, isn’t the starting balance way off???
-Why is this place so nice?
The viewers couldn’t help but misunderstand. They thought Paprika Village had a much greater advantage.
They simply didn’t know that the population of this village was less than thirty.
In any case, the fact that another village existed was undeniable.
[Gyeonkka really annihilated lol lol lol lol]
[Where did all the Gyeonkka go? lol lol lol There’s another village?? lol lol lol Explain lol lol lol lol]
[Kya, showing off to the haters again! the NUUT]
Almond’s excited fans began to dominate community opinion.
Other fans protested in the comments.
-So what if there’s another village lol lol lol lol lol lol Does finding another village make you the protagonist?
└Isn’t Columbus the protagonist?
└Finding it right at the start isn’t like Columbus, you just find it naturally as you play
└Columbus lol lol lol
└For real lol lol lol Please stop the fuss
└Just a bunch of kids who think the whole world revolves around Almond… Frogs in a well…
The resistance from other fans was fiercer than expected.
They wanted to prevent Almond from becoming the protagonist of this content at all costs.
It was a kind of rebellion.
A rebellion that could have become a revolution if it succeeded.
Unfortunately, Almond didn’t allow such things.
Without even realizing it, he suppressed the rebellion.
[The whole world is Almond!? (Why is this?)]
==== ====
The whole world really was Almond lololol
(photo)
==== ====
In the photo, Almond was looking around, surrounded by countless images of himself.
It was a situation where Almond had discovered a wanted poster with his face drawn on it.
-What???
-lololololololol
-lmao why is Almond drawn on that village wall??
In the new village, what drew attention was still Almond.
-What is it?
-It’s a wanted poster??
└Really??lololol
└For real, no seriously lololol he got wanted that fast?
-Of course he should be wanted, he’s the worst streamer on earth lololol ah lololol
-Gyeonkka’s completely doomed lololol
-So Almond is the protagonist in that village too?lololol
With this, the Nut Clan’s momentum was set to grow even more formidable for a while.
There was just one problem.
-It’s great that the whole world is Almond, but… should he even be there? He looks like he’s about to die?lololol
While the fans’ spirits might soar, wasn’t Almond, the actual streamer, now trapped in the middle of a village that despised him?
This was an enormous crisis.

* * *
I stared blankly at my own wanted poster.
‘How on earth did they make something like this?’
Since I wasn’t very familiar with Survival Craft, the fact that players had actually created and posted something like this notice board was fascinating to me.
It looked like it must have taken considerable time and effort.
And naturally, a thought crossed my mind.
‘They want to catch me this badly?’
They were so desperate to capture me that they’d gone to the trouble of making and posting these things individually.
‘This is a bit creepy….’
This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.
Back during the international tournament, the Spain team had done something similar.
But back then, at least I couldn’t see so clearly with my own eyes that they wanted to catch me.
I’d only heard about it through rumors and accepted it as hearsay.
There was a significant difference in how it felt to be surrounded by posters openly declaring their intention to capture me.
“Um… I’ll carefully try to slip away. I think I’ve wandered into a strange place.”
I said that to the viewers and quietly began to move my feet.
Tap.
Clearly, someone had appeared in the distance in what had been an empty plaza, blocking my path ahead.
“Hey. You there. I can’t see your ID? This is a town—why are you hiding it?”
Hahaha, seriously?
-Oh no
I got caught ㅠㅠ
-We’re done for
Neither I nor they recognized each other.
But they knew each other.
After all, it was Orange who was blocking the path.
“What? Something’s suspicious.”
Orange gradually approached me.
Other residents were also appearing in the plaza one by one.
‘How many of them are there exactly?’
My eyes darted around quickly.
There appeared to be at least ten of them.
‘I could maybe handle about five.’
Anything more than that was impossible.
That was when it happened.
Ding!
[Won-gi-ok donated 10,000 won]
[Friends! Give me strength!]
“!”
Along with that donation, a buff was applied to me.
[Underwater Breathing]
[1 Hour]
“….”
An incredible buff that lets me dive infinitely in water!
-ahahahahahahaha
-what lol
-escape through water?
-this is insane lol
‘Completely useless, isn’t it?’
Almond grips his sword, figuring he’ll have to push through this alone regardless.
Crunch.
I steady my breathing and survey my surroundings.
‘Where should I start.’
Almond sketches out a rough route.
But the donations weren’t over yet.
‘Huh?’
The Won-gi-ok literally begins accumulating.
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won!]
Everyone put your arms up! ㅇ/ㅇ/
-if Rubisword says raise them, we raise them

[Weapon Attribute Granted: Lightning]
‘Huh?’
Crackle, crackle…!
Lightning surged forth from my blade.
“!?”
“What, what is this.”
“Huh?”
“There’s already a combat class like that?”
“Damn, that’s not fair!?”
“Y-yeah, truly unselected personnel…”
The Paprika residents gasped in shock and muttered their words.

-Seongjo-class reader buff lol
-This is what a “Streamer” is
-Wow
-Literally Won-gi-ok lol

-???: I am legion…
-Nut Clan call lolololol
