The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 096
32. Danmuji (3)
‘Did I… hear that correctly?’
A hundred times over.
Danmuji doubted his ears.
In actual transactions, you rarely hear such terms spoken so casually.
Even the notoriously volatile virtual currency wouldn’t fluctuate a hundredfold except right after its initial release.
“So… you’re saying… how many times the regular soil?”
“A hundred times.”
“Not a hundred gold, but a hundred times the value?”
“Yes.”
A nod.
That large head bobbed without seeming to understand what was wrong at all.
‘I didn’t mishear.’
Danmuji finally trusted his audio system.
The words “a hundred times” meant exactly a hundred times the value.
“You do know regular soil is quite good soil, right?”
“Yes. They say it’s the most useful thing in Cheese Village right now.”
That’s when Goguma chimed in.
“Oh my! It’s not just useful—people can’t even find it to buy!”
“Ah. If you can’t find it to buy, then you don’t need to buy it anymore. Since there’s fertile soil.”
Tada.
Almond pointed once more to the dark and beautiful soil laid out on the table.
Haha, that’s it~lol
It’s an annoying thing to say, but the character is so cute that it’s somehow convincing lol
-The pretty boy act isn’t working so now he’s using aegyo.
If you can’t get it because it’s not available or if you don’t want to get it, then just don’t get it lolol
Danmuji froze as he met those gleaming eyes.
‘This guy… he’s a formidable opponent.’
I knew he was good at the game, but I didn’t realize he was so exceptionally skilled at putting people in difficult positions like this.
Ding.
A whisper arrived then.
[Whisper) Goguma: Hey. You’re not actually thinking of buying it, are you?]
Goguma seemed to think Danmuji was deliberating whether to purchase it.
Danmuji and Goguma exchanged glances before Danmuji sent a whisper back.
[Whisper) Danmuji: What? Buy what? Where would I get the money? We’re broke right now.]
[Whisper) Goguma: Really? But look at your expression. Seems like you’re not going to let this slide.]
[Whisper) Danmuji: Well, that’s true.]
Those large, sparkling eyes still stared directly at me.
As if it were obvious that I would buy this.
As if all of this—the exorbitant pricing and everything else—were perfectly justified!
From Almond’s perspective, there was no way to generate proper profit except by selling to Danmuji.
‘There’s no one else who would buy it.’
While Almond thought this way.
‘But I can’t afford to buy right now?’
Danmuji had his own position to consider.
His current situation wasn’t favorable.
The two of them stared at each other in silence.
Finally, Danmuji let out a deep sigh and spoke first.
“Almond? Could you, could you explain this to me?”
Tilt.
His massive head tilts at a 45-degree angle.
“Explain what?”
Danmuji’s character turns from yellow to bright red.
“What do you mean 100 times! Why 100 times?! Even the leveled soil is expensive! How am I supposed to buy 100 times that?!”
Ssshhhhh!
With a steaming effect, Danmuji huffs indignantly.
Hahahahahahaha
-Lol what’s with this effect
-100 times is pretty brutal lol
-Danmuji finally explodes lol
-Rich people have lots of effects too
-Calls out 100 times then acts innocent lol
“Ah. So you’re upset about the 100 times.”
Almond waves his hand dismissively as if to say there’s nothing to worry about.
“I can explain what 100 times means. You there. Bring me a blackboard.”
“…?”
Goguma tilts his head in confusion.
I’m Danmuji’s servant, aren’t I?
“Me… me?”
“Yes, you. Who else would bring it?”
Hahaha what the heck haha
-Suddenly laughing so hard ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-They’re playing along with the roleplay lol
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Hahahahahaha
Danmuji also kicks Goguma from behind and barks out.
“Bring it, you fool! What kind of behavior is this in front of a customer!”
“Oh, goodness. Oh, understood! We, we don’t have a blackboard though…”
Goguma practically flees the living room.
-Hahaha
-What happened to Goguma?
What on earth happened, sweet potato? ㅋㅋㅋ ㅠㅠ
“Tch… I’ll get my revenge someday. Where’s a sword?”
“I can hear everything, Gobong.”
“Oh, no! That’s not what I said! I was just reading the chat. I’ll ban this guy right now!”
-Hahahahahaha
-Hahahaha
-Did he get mortgaged or something?
-Hahaha
A moment later, Goguma brought over a large board and laid paper on it.
Whoosh.
Almond began writing equations on top of it.
“This is poor soil. This is fertile soil. Well, the difference in harvest yield is about this much.”
Danmuji and Goguma nodded as they listened to the explanation.
There were no errors in the numbers.
Scratch.
The pen continued moving in succession.
“Adding this, you can save on land costs, right? I heard the price from NPC Bigfarm…”
The numbers suddenly grew larger.
Because the price for saving land began to be included.
Up to this point, it was understandable.
“You produce more, use less land, and have lower maintenance costs. Plus, the farmer’s movement becomes more efficient, saving time, so you can plant seeds twice, three times instead of once. If you add the job trait on top of that, with Danmuji’s control, you could even do it four times…”
Tap-tap-tap-tap.
Almond continued writing formulas and then placed an emphatic dot somewhere on the ground.
“When you calculate everything—labor costs, land maintenance, harvest yield—this is how much you should receive. And Danmuji would still profit.”
“…”
Danmuji was at a loss for words.
‘What? This person is this smart?’
But a question arose.
“Wait a moment. Even with all this, it’s only about 30 times, right?”
30 times was an enormous number, but compared to 100 times, it was nothing.
Even adding all the factors Almond mentioned only amounted to 30 times the poor soil.
‘Honestly, 30 times would make me want to buy it.’
After hearing Almond’s explanation, 30 times actually seemed reasonable.
But the problem was the quoted price was 100 times.
“Ah. That’s… distribution costs.”
“?”
Compared to the numerous equations and explanations written above, it was an incredibly brief statement.
Distribution costs.
Hahahahahaha
-Haha, what a godly price!
-That doesn’t even include delivery fees~
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋ
-70 times markup just for distribution costs lol
“W-what distribution costs? You just brought it here, didn’t you?”
“I came here at 50% slower speed. That time has value, and countless people were sacrificed making this.”
“…Huh?”
It wasn’t a lie.
There really had been many sacrifices.
“Such things did occur.”
But I couldn’t explain it. If I did, these people would go searching for that village themselves.
-lol that’s real
-Oh, so such things happened~
It’s real though lol
It’s seriously hilarious lol
“Plus, I got attacked by Ttududoji on the way here. A lot of them too.”
“…”
Even this?
Danmuji’s eyes began to twitch.
“That includes hazard pay. But my hazard pay covers all the fertile soil, so it’s incredibly expensive. The fertile soil price doubles. Since the fertile soil is included in the hazard pay.”
What kind of logic is that lol
Haha you’re right though lol
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen Almond talk this much lol
-Just say you wanted 100 times the price for the house
-This guy’s so eloquent when advertising…
It was clearly nonsense, yet somehow it sounded reasonable.
But Danmuji let out a deep sigh and shook his head.
“Almond. That won’t work.”
“?”
“Please… don’t put your hand on that sword at your waist and listen to what I have to say.”
Almond, trying to continue exploiting the advantage that Juhyeok had praised—being the sole owner of an iron sword.
“Ah… it’s just a habit.”
What are you trying to do lol
Haha, you’re lying/making it up.
Are you trying to kill me because it looks like I’m going to reject the deal? lol
I’m dying laughing
Even if the iron sword was intimidating, Danmuji had his own circumstances.
“I honestly can’t even afford to pay 30 times the price.”
“Why?”
“It’s because of the Ttududoji we saw on the way here.”
That’s when it happened.
Goguma suddenly burst into tears.
“Oh nooooo! Those damned moles!! They turned our master’s fields into a complete wasteland! We’re utterly ruined! I saw it with my own two eyes!!”
That’s right.
Danmuji’s recent farming performance was in the negative.
And not just barely negative.
“Of all times, the moles had to invade right when I was expanding my business significantly….”
-That’s eerie timing
Is this for real? Hahaha.
-Sounds like Saryeon’s sob story
-4. Shoot. Let’s go
-Huh?
Listening to Danmuji’s story, it went like this.
His farming had been going so well that he expanded his fields significantly all at once.
He reinvested all his money.
In the process, he even built a house like this, leaving no money remaining.
In fact, he owed a debt to Bigfarm.
It was a debt that a single harvest would pay off with money to spare.
“But I couldn’t achieve that one harvest. Almond.”
Just saying you’re a beggar lol
-He talks too much
-Is this Danmuji’s story mode?
Haha, it just means it’s ruined/failed.
-Danmuji 3-star clear! Right?
-Brother. Let’s just kill him?
The viewers, accustomed to Almond’s rapid progression, demanded that he eliminate Danmuji.
‘I don’t have money either.’
But Almond couldn’t do it easily.
He was only rich if he converted fertile soil into money; simply holding it didn’t make him rich.
Just then, Danmuji suddenly collapsed and wailed.
“There were so many Ttududoji! What you saw earlier—Goguma and I killed them countless times, yet we still couldn’t kill them all! Please… would you consider giving me ten times the amount? I promise I’ll succeed and repay you!”
Danmuji’s proposal.
Give him ten times the amount, and he’d repay it later.
‘Anyway, there’s no one else to sell it to but me right now.’
Danmuji understood this too.
Even a wealthy person could survive three years after going bankrupt, and he was still the richest person here.
In other words, there was no one to buy it at fair value in the first place.
The item had become so valuable that it was worthless.
Priceless means invaluably precious, but sometimes it also means it won’t sell at all.
‘For now, I’ll buy at ten times the price, and I’ll have more than enough to pay it back later. The soil quality difference is massive.’
Money is always a snowball.
If someone who got ahead first monopolized assets, a hundredfold increase from the soil price I chose now might be nothing.
Danmuji had the cunning to pull it off.
He’d reached this level in just one server day.
“I’m confident about this! Almond!”
“Mm.”
Almond deliberates.
At this moment, Juhyeok’s words come to mind.
‘Juhyeok said having an iron sword only I possess is an enormous advantage….’
Now that I think about it, that didn’t seem to be just a casual remark.
Almond’s gaze turns toward Streamer Goguma.
Danmuji’s colleague who participated in the Nant War together last time.
But now a hierarchy has formed between them.
Why?
Something about this fact keeps tugging at my consciousness.
‘Ah.’
Almond arrives at some realization.
“By the way.”
Finally, I open my mouth.
And I point at Goguma.
“How did Gobong end up becoming Gobong?”
“Ah….”
Danmuji chuckles and scratches his head.
“I lent him some land. He couldn’t pay back the debt….”
As Danmuji spoke, chills ran down his spine.
A sudden sense of foreboding.
‘Oh no. Surely not.’
But of course.
*Snap.*
Almond rises from his seat and looks down at him, asking.
“Then… should I call you Danbong?”
-?
-??
I’m dying laughing hahahahaha
-From now on you’re Danbong…
Haha, seriously lol
I’m scared of dogs lol
-Is a 2-star really this scary
“Y-yes? Danbong….”
“I’ll lend you the land for free.”
A surprisingly bold proposal.
But—
“In exchange, we’ll split the farming profits.”
“!”
That was it.
Almond was trying to create a tenant farmer.
All for fishing rods.
“A tenant farmer is a bit….”
Danbong wasn’t entirely comfortable with it.
Danmuji shook his head.
“That would be better for you.”
Yet he couldn’t refuse.
Both Almond and Danmuji already understood what kind of proposal this was.
This was what Juhyeok had been trying to say.
The difference in power.
“Even if I sell you the land cheaply, what happens when Ttududoji comes again? Will you go bankrupt unable to pay your debts?”
“….”
Danmuji had nothing to say.
He had no combat equipment.
“Rather than that, I’ll stop Ttududoji. You focus on farming. In return, we’ll split the profits.”
“…!”
Almond had power.
He had iron equipment.
Hadn’t he just eliminated all the remaining Ttududoji by himself without dying?
Under his protection, farming on his fertile land and splitting the profits?
‘Danbong… could it work?’
Danbong’s life might actually turn out fine.
