The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 089
30. Perfect Farm (2)
ROOOOOAAAAAARRRRR!
A dragon’s breath erupted across the monitor screen.
Multiple camera angles captured this devastating blast from every direction.
“Huh!?”
“What?”
Department Manager Jang and Park O-hun.
Both wore identical expressions, as if they’d made a pact.
Actually, it wasn’t just the two of them—the entire production team shared the same stunned look.
“What, what just happened?”
“If this continues…”
“Oh no.”
Department Manager Jang drove home the point as the employees voiced their concerns.
“We’re, we’re screwed.”
Thud.
The glucose candy he’d been holding dropped from his mouth.
“What happens to Paprika’s economic growth now?”
Paprika Village had essentially been wiped out.
They were supposed to become a force that countered Cheese Village through their high combat power and plundering economy.
This was the kind of suspense the production team had prepared.
“At least… we’ve fallen behind by three days, haven’t we?”
“Three days? That’s still manageable…”
“Real-world time.”
“!?”
The server’s operational period was roughly two weeks.
Nothing was set in stone, but the consensus was that pushing it any further would be impossible.
Three days behind?
“It’s not like they’re just dead—they dropped all their equipment…”
“Well, they can just pick it back up. That’s not the issue.”
Some weapons and armor might have been damaged, but that was better than losing them entirely.
Even so, three real-world days seemed like an exaggeration, didn’t it?
“Because Almond is taking everything right now.”
“!?”
Department Manager Jang, whose eye for games wasn’t particularly sharp, hadn’t noticed.
That Almond had survived.
“…What, what!? How, how did that person survive?”
“He had a freeze effect on him, so he survived. He’s immune to fire.”
“No, wait—when did the villagers come back to life!?”
“Well… it takes about fifteen seconds for them to revive, and then a bit more time to run over. Before, they were dying in turns so Almond never got a free shot, but now they all died at once…”
“Huh?”
That’s when another Employee spoke up from behind.
“That’s fertile soil. I heard the Production Team mention it. That’s incredibly important! If you look at what’s happening with Cheese Village right now!”
Almond brazenly claimed even that precious fertile soil.
“Isn’t this a serious problem?”
“Uh….”
Department Manager Jang stroked his beard.
“I don’t know anymore.”
“?”
“Isn’t this the kind of game where anything can happen?”
Hehehehe?
Department Manager Jang simply laughed it off.
Survival Craft was always a game where all sorts of things occurred.
What mattered was how the Players would respond to it.
“They’ll adapt. Whether they stay up all night gaming to recover, or whatever. Let’s just watch how it plays out.”
Over at Paprika Village, a crisis meeting was already underway.
[We… can’t go on like this. That unvetted bastard… might come back again.]
[Shouldn’t we protest to the Production Team? What the hell kind of Brave Knight job did they create from day one?]
[How do you even get that Brave Knight job? Shouldn’t we be able to get it too?]
[Sister. Look at our current state. What Brave Knight? Are you out of your mind?]
But they were badly misunderstanding the situation.
“A… Brave Knight?”
The Production Team scratched their heads in bewilderment.
If they kept misinterpreting it like this, they’d just waste effort. What should I do about this?
But didn’t a hero always emerge during such dark times?
Paprika was no exception.
Someone climbed onto the table and began leading the discussion.
Thud!
[Alright! First! We need to recover our equipment right now. We….]
It was Shrimp, a Streamer who had worked on creating Survival Craft servers.
Shrimp shouted.
[Let’s just not log off the server today! We’ll grind through the night! That’s what we need to do to catch that bastard! He took all our gear and we have nothing left!]
Bang!
He jumped on the table and declared it.
To catch up, there was no choice but to burn through people.
[On this barren land! The only way to create a miracle is to work hard!]
The villagers nodded their heads.
[That’s right.]
[But it feels like I’ve seen this somewhere before… like in a modern history textbook….]
A sense of déjà vu, though it was hard to place.
He was right.
The only thing on this land was people.
[As of today, we rebuild our village! A new! Village! We’re creating it!]
[Wow! A new village movement!]
[We must change! Grow stronger! Our true enemy is that unvetted personnel! The Paladin! Remember this day! Everyone! Don’t forget our rage! Don’t forgive them! Noooooo!!!]
[Waaaaaaaaaaa!!!]
It was almost like a politician’s campaign rally.
The people’s eyes burned with fury.
[Shrimp! Shrimp! Shrimp! Shrimp!]
[I’m seriously not closing the game today!! It’s overtime!!!]
[Those Cheese bastards! That Paladin thug! They’re all done for!]
[We must remember the blood spilled on this land!!]
[Even if I’m born with a silver spoon! I’ll give my child an obsidian spoon!!]
Almond’s assault was only making them more united.

* * *
Meanwhile, in Cheese Village without Almond.
It was a continuous stretch of peace bathed in surprisingly warm sunlight.
But there were incidents both large and small.
First was the soil crisis.
Farmers had been farming without any knowledge of soil, wasting their seeds and ruining everything.
The incident started with a village NPC.
“This isn’t farming! It doesn’t just work like that!”
Jello was currently grabbing this village’s land management NPC by the collar and shaking him—Bigfarm.
He managed the village’s land, sold it, and decided who owned what.
In real-world terms, he was a real estate dealer who owned all the land. In other words, Bigfarm was essentially the owner of this village in NPC form.
There was nothing good about upsetting him.
Yet Jello was grabbing his collar and shaking him.
Was it possible because he was the current highest-ranking Streamer by viewer count?
No. That couldn’t be it.
NPCs didn’t consider viewer numbers.
Jello was simply so angry he’d lost all sense of judgment.
Thump. Thump.
He kept grabbing the NPC’s collar and shaking him as he shouted.
“Say something, you bastard!”
Hahahahaha stop it~
That bastard got scammed by an NPC lol
What is this lol, give it all back!
He believed he’d been scammed by this NPC.
“You said farming works here!”
Bigfarm maintained his Buddha-like expression as he set Jello aside, then answered slowly.
“Why not? There’s no legal reason you can’t farm this land.”
“W-what?! What law exists in this backwater? I’m asking if the land is even farmable! You were talking about law?!”
“Of course. We judge by what’s possible and what isn’t. Whether crops will grow well or poorly—that’s heaven’s will.”
Bigfarm nodded slowly, his expression serene.
He looked like he was praying to the heavens.
“Avalokiteshvara.”
-?Sudden Avalokiteshvara lolololol
-Was he a monk?
-lololololololol
-Jello’s poor harvest is heaven’s will lololol
-Lmao
-That’s actually fair lol
Jello, his fury intensifying at this behavior, seethed with anger.
“Ugh, talking to this guy might actually turn me into a bodhisattva.”
-lololololololololol
-lololololololol
-Character test legend lol
“If you become a bodhisattva, wouldn’t that be enough?”
“….”
The answer was so wise that Jello momentarily lost his words, but he pressed on.
“L-look here! Right now, th-this! Look at the soil! This isn’t even soil. It’s sand! Just sand!”
Whoosh.
Soil cubes scattered between Jello’s fingers.
Bigfarm picked them up and examined them, tilting his head.
“Soil with a 12% crop harvest probability. There’s nothing wrong with my statement.”
“12%… me?”
-lololololololololololol
-Listen to how Bigfarm says it lol
-Lmao 12% is too much lololol
-If you plant 10 seeds, 1 grows and sometimes 2 grow!? This is literally lucky lucky~!?
-lololol The lid does open
“Yes. Your land is legally suitable for farming, Jello, and the soil has a ‘considerable’ harvest probability for crops.”
Jello’s avatar face turned crimson.
It reflected his actual rage.
“Th-this! Argh! Damn it!”
Whack!
Unable to hold back any longer, Jello began beating him with a stick.
“12 percent?! You’re playing word games?!”
Whack!
“Get the CEO out here! You’re just a Manager! I want the CEO!”
Thwack!
hahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahaha
Hahahahahahaha
Kyah
-This is it
Cider lol
I can’t provide a reliable translation for this text as it contains incomplete/corrupted Korean characters and internet slang that doesn’t form coherent meaning.
-Get the CEO out!!
Bigfarm’s head bobbed back and forth as he took the hits.
“Please don’t test my patience.”
Bigfarm slowly drew something from his waist.
Perhaps because he was wealthy as a landowner—it was a sword gleaming with an otherworldly light.
Uuuuuuung…!
“!”
In a village where people at best crafted stone swords, this was utterly beyond their comprehension.
Jello hastily retreated backward.
“Oh, oh dear. I had no idea you were this kind of person.”
Hahahahaha
Switching tactics lol
Hahaha, that’s hilarious!
“If I swing this, there’s about a 10% chance you’ll die instantly. What do you think? A 10% probability.”
“…N-No, that’s high! Incredibly high!”
“Wouldn’t 12% be even higher?”
“O-Of course! 2% higher! That’s practically Lucky Bigfarm~”
“So your problem is resolved then?”
“Y-Yes…”
Lucky Big Farm lol so funny haha
Haha, the big pharma problem does get resolved though.
What’s up with that sword? lol
Where are you going to the landlord lol
Jello’s fists trembled violently.
Countless mocking viewers, an NPC looking down with shameless composure.
Land where he’d sown all the seeds he’d bought without knowing better, now ruined crops.
“…Sigh.”
Jello nearly broke down right then and there.
But!
“Everyone. This godforsaken land. I swear I’ll make it succeed and get my revenge.”
Who was he anyway?
He is a Tier 1 Streamer with the largest current viewership.
He saw this as the moment his story began.
A tale of “returning home in glory.”
“I’m going to do ‘Started from Bottom.’ You know what that is, right?”
-?
-How lol
-What are you trying to do
-??
“I’m going to quit farming and become a miner.”
He had decided to become a miner.
-Really starting from the bottom lololol
-Going all the way down to rock bottom lol
-So he really meant going to the bottom;
Mining was the profession with the lowest initial investment—you took only a pickaxe and mined minerals while digging through underground caverns.
Though the investment seemed small, the real problem was the risk.
The mines were no different from monster dungeons; if you encountered monsters while mining, you could die.
When you died, you dropped everything you’d mined so far, and your items disappeared as well.
It was quite a dangerous profession.
“When you have nothing… what else is there to do?”
-What kind of drudgery is this lol
-Hey! Stop messing around and come haul some bricks!
-If you got no skills, you gotta pick up a shovel~
Jello, who had lost everything after being deceived by Bigfarm.
He ultimately chose mining.
A harsh path lay ahead.
An extreme profession that required wandering through dark mines all day long.
Yet in the midst of it all, he could see a light.
“Now that I think about it… our village doesn’t have ore. Ore. Everyone’s so focused on making food that if I just bring back a few iron ore, it’ll be worth some money.”
-Oh
Business sense is insane.
-So he had a plan?
-Businessman Jello! Businessman Jello! Businessman Jello!
-Seems decent?
Everyone’s not really interested in combat right now, but it’ll eventually be necessary later.
The viewers resonated with Jello’s vision.
Even though Survival Craft was a healing game, it was impossible to completely avoid fighting monsters.
“When night comes, monsters will appear. What are you going to do then?”
Especially when night fell, monsters would emerge.
Some combat was essential for survival.
Since human greed knows no bounds, Jello’s theory was that residents who had filled their bellies with crops would eventually desire stronger combat power.
“I’ll mine all the iron ore myself! I’m going to try monopolizing it!”
-Woah woah
-Let’s goooo~
-Jello! Jello! Jello!
-Iron ore Jello~ loves it!
It was an accurate assessment.
However, there was one thing he had failed to notice….
“Wow. Finally reached the village. That was really far.”
-You’re just slow lol
-If you let go of your greed, it becomes closer…
-No wonder it’s far when you’re hauling all that stuff lololol
Massive quantities of iron ore were crossing over from distant foreign lands.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Almond descended a small hill and arrived at the village entrance.
