The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 093
31. The Great Merchant (3)
Even after the game ended, Sanghyeon continued calculating the value of his possessions.
I couldn’t fathom how many fishing rods he intended to purchase.
But the Streamers immersed in the Cheese Village content weren’t limited to just him.
At this point, well past 1 AM.
The majority of Streamers were still broadcasting.
The catalyst for this frenzy was, predictably, Owl Black.
Miho and Takoyaki, who normally only streamed in the evenings, were now maintaining broadcasts until dawn solely to discover that legendary land.
“Huff… huff… Owl Black… where are you!?”
The fertile soil stats that Almond had displayed were absolutely dazzling.
It was obvious that obtaining it alone would make all farming perfect.
It was only natural that the eyes of those devoted to farming began to gleam with obsession.
-I’m going to die at this rate
-Where would you even find it
-The reality of the Age of Great Pirates lol
“Kyaaah! I died again!?”
Of course, the area outside the village was quite treacherous, so they did find themselves in danger.
“I will definitely find it!”
“I’m the one who’ll find it!?”
The Streamers paid no mind and challenged again.
“For the perfect farm!”
Dotorimuk, who had been a fertility enthusiast from the start, needed no explanation.
-Fertility faction~~
-Hehehehe
-Owl Black for sure
-Flat Earth Society let’s go~
-Lololol this is so fun
-Perfect Farm gg
“Let’s goooo~!”
Balloon Gum followed Dotorimuk’s lead.
-Soil expedition lol
-A rather unreliable companion…
-Balloon Gum lol
The two ventured outside the village, equipped with what they considered maximum armaments.
Though they were merely shabby equipment crafted from wood and stone.
Still, they had squandered their entire fortunes on farming to obtain even this much.
After all, who knew what dangers lurked beyond the village.
Whoosh.
[Giant Spider]
When Almond searched for spiders, they rarely appeared, but one suddenly burst out and attacked Dotorimuk.
Thwack!
“Whoa!? A giant spider!”
Dotorimuk swung his sword with all his might.
Slash! Slash!
-Why is the name like that lol
-Is it because it’s huge?
-lolol I’m dying
-Spider kill lol
-Still too weak though?
-Giant spider oof
But then, several more giant spiders descended from the trees.
Thwack!
Crash!
I blocked their attacks with my shield, but one of them began spewing silk.
[Web Wrap]
“Ugh!”
Dotorimuk’s entire body was covered in spider silk, making movement difficult.
“K-Kkeom hyung! Over here! Hyung?”
Dotorimuk, tangled in the web, looked for Balloon Gum.
But he was already lying there as a corpse.
“No, when!?”
-lol what
-That’s way too fast lol
-At this point, he basically fainted just seeing the spider lolololol
-Lol he’s dead lol
Screech!
The spider’s attacks connected with Dotorimuk several more times, and he too collapsed to the ground.
“Gasp…!”
Thud.
[Death]
I lost all my items.
“This… this can’t be real.”
Dotorimuk despairs.
-lololololololol
-How could this work lol
-You need to get gear first lol
-Go find some iron
-At this point, I’d say he’s basically helpless.
Whether Balloon Gum knew it or not, Dotorimuk wasn’t a streamer who was particularly bad at games.
After all, I’m a streamer who once specialized in games like Kingdom Age.
That game was something incomprehensible to players who couldn’t play well.
In other words, Dotorimuk’s fundamental skill level was quite solid, yet even he was struggling to survive outside Cheese Village right now.
[Balloon Gum: How the hell did Almond manage to wander around out there until he found Owl Black!]
Balloon Gum, who died in an instant, raised his question in the server chat.
-How did you die so fast though;
-Chatting after death is the golden rule lol
-Fr how did you even get out and come back???
Almond had spent a considerable amount of time wandering outside the village.
And he did it without any equipment whatsoever.
[Shu Cream: Maybe Almond had good gear?lol]
[Balloon Gum: He dropped all of Mond’s items, so he had no gear.]
[Shu Cream: Huh?]
[Baeksuk: Seriously lol]
[Danmuji: As expected of Almond…]
[Pickle: He found fertile soil with no gear??]
He found fertile soil with no gear and survived back to the village?
Based on the experience of those who had ventured out, it was unimaginable.
But Dotorimuk had something to say here.
[Dotorimuk: He wasn’t gearless though? He was holding an iron sword earlier.]
I remembered clearly because Almond had brandished the sword right in front of me.
It was definitely an iron sword.
[Shu Cream: Iron? So you went out with no gear and crafted an iron sword???]
[Danmuji: An iron sword already?? Where the hell did you go???]
[Pickle: Insane… Did you come back from hell…]
The rumors about Almond spread further and further.

* * *
The Production Team huddled in a corner of the village, watching the server chat and chuckling to themselves.
“These people have no idea we’ve maxed out the monster spawn rates for nighttime, do they?”
“We never told them.”
That was true.
A hidden setting on the Cheese Village server.
When night fell, the number of monsters that emerged increased exponentially. They even became stronger.
“They might notice the numbers increasing, but I doubt they’ll realize they’re getting stronger too.”
Particularly, when the in-game time reached midnight, swarms of monsters—what could only be described as monster waves—could appear.
“Right now it’s still early evening, so it’s manageable.”
“Yeah. As night deepens, it’ll get progressively harder to venture out.”
The Production Team’s words proved accurate.
Finding Owl Black at night was nearly impossible.
[Miho: They said this was a healing game ㅠ I got tricked ㅠㅠ I died again ㅠㅠ]
The Streamers found it nearly impossible to step outside the village.
[Black Tea: Wow, Miho is super weak without her seduction tactics, huh?ㅎㅎ]
[Miho: That’s not it! The monsters are just too strong!]
hahahaha for real
-Lookism is cruel…
Even monsters lol won’t cut it anymore~
-Miho’s just weak
They simply believed they couldn’t venture out because they weren’t as strong as Almond.
[Danmuji: Who exactly is Almond…]
[Pickle: This guy was the Nationals MVP?]
[Greentea: How did he even…]
Almond hadn’t even logged in, yet mentions of him kept increasing.
In their imagination, Almond was a legendary adventurer who had casually cut through all these monsters with his bare hands, found Owl Black, and returned triumphantly.
[Balloon Gum: Bringing Balloon Gum to win the Nationals wasn’t for nothing~]
[Takoyaki: Personally, I rank that even higher than the Nationals. Just my opinion.]
Even Almond’s past achievements began to be re-evaluated.
Hahahahaha, Taco’s honest remarks
Are you comparing it to playing with pros?
It’s tough to win a championship while carrying a sandbag lol
-Lol, was that what the bubble gum said?ㅋㅋㅋ
Even trivial things were being dug up again.
[Greentea: No wonder the skill and magic got swapped~]
[Shu Cream: No wonder he asked for one more zero at G-Star~?]
Hahahahaha Gstar hahahaha
Give me one more of that cheap thing.
lol
Hahahahaha
As the streamers continued the chain of jokes, each adding their own quip, Dotorimuk couldn’t resist joining in.
[Dotorimuk: Bringing Dotorimuk along to find Perfect Shot wasn’t for nothing~]
[Hong-cha: But what exactly is Perfect Shot?]
[Dotorimuk: …Never mind]
However, Kingdom was an unpopular game.
Hahahaha
-What is that, you nerd!
One word from a real girl and he’s trembling lol
Oh crap lolololol
Don’t you really not know about black tea? lol
Dotorimuk, who had tried to join the chat once and gotten burned badly, quietly prepared for his next adventure.
He silently resumed his preparations.
“Owl Black exists….”
-We already know all that?
Haha, that’s real talk for sure lol
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
I already know all about it lol
“ㅠㅠ Dotorimuk said it first! Give me credit!”

* * *
The next day.
Sanghyeon rubbed his eyes as he woke up.
“Mmm.”
Checking the time on his phone, it was 9 AM.
He kicked his legs up and sprang out of bed with a bounce.
“Ha!”
Though not lazy by nature, compared to how slowly he usually got up, this was remarkably energetic.
‘I need to check how things are going.’
This was because of Cheese Village.
Cheese Village continued to develop even in his absence.
He was worried that fertile soil might have actually been discovered while he was away, and that the price of his items might have dropped.
‘Hmm….’
He skimmed through edited videos from major streamers. Just by glancing at the titles and comments, he could tell what happened yesterday.
For streamers without uploaded edits, he could find information in the community.
“?”
But he discovered something surprising.
Except for the fact that Jello and Chocosong had spent the night in the mine, the Cheese Village residents had essentially made no progress yesterday.
That damn fertile soil lol
[So none of them actually found it? For real?]
[So many monsters spawning?? How am I supposed to find it???]
“At this point lol, isn’t Almond just making stuff up?”
They had wasted an enormous amount of time searching for fertile soil.
“The pickled radish farm got insanely huge lol”
[Farmer King Pickled Radish ㄷㄷ]
[Wow, true professional class~]
If there was anything noteworthy, it was that Danmuji’s farming seemed to be going quite well.
[How come everyone’s all-in on farming??]
[Pretty much all the bigger streamers are farming]
[Food from farming makes the most money anyway?]
One more thing to note: Cheese Village was almost entirely focused on farming right now.
On the server’s first day, securing basic survival elements was what mattered.
And farming was the most suitable for basic survival.
[Farming is advantageous for survival since you don’t have to go outside]
The reason was simple.
While Survival Craft had several hazards, the biggest one was monsters.
Farming allowed you to avoid that danger while satisfying hunger.
And depending on how well it went, you could create surplus production and become prosperous.
This was the production team’s intention—the economy would only start moving once surplus agricultural products emerged.
In other words, they were all obsessed with farming.
And when Sanghyeon showed them fertile soil, they completely lost their minds.
“Wow. Dotorimuk… He’s still searching for it?”
Dotorimuk’s livestream was still on.
[All-nighter broadcast) For the sake of the Perfect Farm]
What even was a Perfect Farm? He certainly had a talent for coming up with strange concepts.
‘So that’s why people didn’t trust him….’
I was starting to understand why people didn’t believe in Perfect Shot so much.
‘So he couldn’t find it after all?’
Sanghyeon felt relieved.
In truth, there was a little fertile soil left in that strange village.
At first, I didn’t realize how valuable it was, so I hadn’t taken it all.
Of course, only 12 tiles remained, but for the ruthless and indiscriminate Sang-hyun Yu.
I was worried that even that amount might affect the market value of my soil.
“Perfect.”
Sanghyeon realized that such a thing hadn’t happened and excitedly got out of bed.
‘My manager said something like that before.’
I recalled what I heard from Aseng.
The most basic maxim in sales.
‘Always find the buyer first.’
When selling something, you always find the person who wants to buy it first.
In simple terms, it’s a demand survey.
No matter how good an item is, it’s worthless if no one buys it.
Fertile soil is no exception.
Even if it’s excellent, what if I can’t sell all of it?
Whether it’s due to lack of money or abandoning farming, if there’s no ability or willingness to purchase?
Fertile soil becomes a meaningless item.
‘It has to sell well.’
That’s why Sanghyeon was planning to adjust his login timing today.
To sell fertile soil at the highest price, I needed someone capable of paying the highest price.
‘When Danmuji logs in.’
Danmuji, currently known as the Farming King.
He would covet fertile soil the most and have the best purchasing power for it.
