The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 098
32. Danbong (5)
Wherever people gather, they naturally divide into groups.
The same held true even when Streamers came together.
Some dreamed of a one-shot reversal and dug into the earth, descending underground, while others built massive houses that seemed to touch the sky and lived in luxury. Some commanded everyone’s attention, but—
[Miho: Almond just logged in right now?? He’s online!]
[Balloon Gum: What? Really??]
[Pickle: Huh!?]
[Pickle: Huh!?]
“──Sigh.”
Meanwhile, some received no one’s attention at all.
These types typically struggled to join server chat easily.
[Mosol]
Streamer Mosol was one such example.
“People don’t even look for me.”
“People aren’t even looking for me.”
Ki-chan, think about that kind of stuff on your own, don’t bring down the mood with your tension lol
-Go out and meet some people, Gichan
-Why can’t you just go out and say Chiki-cha is yours!
-Mosol, let’s just farm
He did nothing but farm diligently.
“Ah, everyone. Why do you keep telling me to go out and talk? If I go out and talk again, the chat will just spam about Gichan this and that….”
“Ah, everyone. Why do you keep asking me to go out and talk about it? If I go out and talk about it again, people will say ‘Kichang this’ and ‘what about that,’ and the chat will just be flooded with spam…”
-It really is hell
It’s hell, but it is what it is.
It’s not a git window, it’s a ki window lolololol
Haha, farming is just the way for us.
It wasn’t that Mosol had never attempted to interact with others.
But each time, the awkward atmosphere and his viewers’ sharp remarks made him give up on socializing for the time being.
“Let’s just farm. If I become someone people need, they’ll come on their own. The law of attraction.”
Clang.
He muttered to himself while leveling his field.
He leveled the field while muttering to himself.
-Did he read another self-help book?
Have you been reading self-help books again?
“If I farm just a bit more, I’ll surpass Danmuji. Once I become the village’s richest farmer, won’t people seek me out?”
That was it.
Mosol’s goal was to become the village’s wealthiest farmer.
But for those who understood how the current server operated, this was a rather strange goal.
However, for those who knew how the current server actually operated, this was a rather strange goal.
Ding.
[Doritos donated 1,000 won.]
“No. It’s pickled radish, then black tea, then cream puff after that… How did you suddenly become rich?ㅋㅋㅋ”
lol so true lol
-Pink incoming, scroll down~
Haha, what a dreamer.
-You’re literally a beggar
“No. That’s true now, but I’m aiming for something different.”
Still, Mosol had his reasons for confidence.
After all, he was a former Ril Challenger. Wouldn’t he have a sharp mind for understanding how games work?
“It’s a class change.”
What I was targeting was a class change.
No one in Cheese Village had acquired a proper profession yet.
Farming was simply more efficient right now than grinding through profession quests.
But I saw it differently.
Farming alone had efficiency limits. Land had to keep expanding, but eventually land prices skyrocketed.
Once the land became too vast, travel distances increased and everything took longer.
So I focused on profession quests instead, unlike everyone else.
You could get profession quests by talking to the straw-hat-wearing NPC in the village.
Each completed quest gave Farmer Coins, and collecting ten of them let you change to the Farmer class.
“I’ve already collected almost all the Farmer Coins, haven’t I?”
Indeed, no one had gathered as many coins as I had.
“Once I change to Farmer, my harvest speed increases and I can water over ten tiles at once.”
The first-tier Farmer class change could be summed up as ‘speed’.
Plant more, water more, harvest more.
That’s the Farmer class strategy.
-Ohhh…
-Gichan has a plan?
Even if you do that, if the soil is poor, doesn’t it just mean more work for nothing? lol
-Even if Gichan gets rich, Miho’s still chasing Almond, I’m betting my wrist on it
-Yeah plant it… plant endlessly…
The viewers didn’t seem particularly convinced by my plan.
But I continued explaining regardless.
What opportunity had just come my way.
“I heard that Danmuji got hit hard by monsters at night and basically collapsed, right? In content like this, if you get too far ahead early on, you get targeted.”
Danmuji, the greatest wealthy farmer, had fallen.
And I was about to change into a Farmer.
“Now Mosol’s era begins! Ahahaha!”
I lifted my shovel and watering can, laughing.
What’s up with the sudden laugh lol
-and he’s really acting like a total loser
Hahaha lol that’s hilarious
What is this lol this is lol
Then the chat messages start rolling in.
Ding.
[Dotorimuk: Oh… Oh, Owl Black is… why are they in our village!??]
[Balloon Gum: What! I just bought Danmuji’s fertile soil!???]
[Takoyaki: Is this a Danmuji and Almond alliance…]
Fertile soil.
The variable that could overturn all these plans had been laid right in front of Danmuji’s house.
“…What?”
Danmuji was clearly doomed.
Mosol was the first to learn of this news. He was always spying on his competitors’ fields after all.
But how did he get fertile soil?

* * *
A few minutes earlier.
“You said there’s over 100 squares of soil. If we use this plot, it should work perfectly.”
Ding.
The ownership of one section of Danmuji’s land changes.
[Joint Ownership: Danmuji, Almond]
In exchange, Almond hands over the soil to Danbong.
Rumble.
The soil chunks reveal themselves fully for the first time.
“!”
Whoooosh…!
That lustrous brilliance, as if gazing upon a deep sapphire, gleaming with only its fingertips.
“Danbong is happy….”
Danmuji feels he made the right choice becoming Danbong.
Hahahahaha
I’m crying over the single peak.
-Danbong… might not be so bad?
-this is life
“Go… Gobong. Let’s lay it down quickly. First, let’s plant the ones that grow the fastest.”
“Yes! Then I’ll go with peppers and tomatoes!”
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The two quickly grabbed their shovels and began spreading the soil everywhere.
Though it was night when they started, by the time they finished laying all the soil, planted the seeds, and watered them, morning had arrived.
“Phew.”
“We’re done.”
In Survival Craft, crops grow in about half a day.
“So we’re getting nearly five times the harvest yield here now, right?”
“That’s correct!”
“But….”
Danmuji glanced around hastily.
“Where did Almond go?”
“…Huh?”
He had vanished.
“He, he still planted everything before leaving though?”
“It’s all already been planted?”
In the section Almond had been responsible for, all the crops were already properly planted.
That guy’s movements were incredibly fast.
Hahaha the boss left work first lol
Nah lol where are you going for real?
-I think he said where he was going earlier
The Bonbons were too focused on their work to hear it lol

* * *
After the night when monsters swept through, morning broke and the NPCs came back outside.
Cheese Village began bustling with activity.
Almond had come out to properly explore Cheese Village and was strolling through the streets.
‘I can just head back when it’s time to harvest.’
It takes some time for crops to emerge from the soil.
There’s no point standing in front of the farm in the meantime.
“I’ll get a sense of the market prices.”
Market research is scary/intimidating.
-Is this Aseng-style business?
-Damn
-Market prices? Almondil.
Almond’s viewers right now were essentially in ‘praise mode’.
They were highly impressed that he had turned Danmuji into Danbong and ultimately devised a sort of tenant farming system with fertile soil.
Almond spoke with the NPCs and got a feel for the prices of the items they were selling.
‘Seeds are more expensive than I thought.’
Since I had just been farming until now, the seed prices felt steep.
‘So this is what it means to waste money on seeds if the soil is poor.’
Harvesting crops doesn’t guarantee you’ll get seeds back.
Ultimately, you have to buy seeds above a certain cost.
If you use rough soil, that cost often exceeds the profit from harvesting crops.
You just work yourself to death and end up taking a loss instead.
“Ah. The crop market prices have changed too.”
He arrived at what looked like a crop trading post.
[Emmental]
A single operator was stationed there.
“Hello! Almond!”
“Hello.”
“Are you here to sell crops?”
“No. I’m just looking around. Do the prices change every time?”
I glance toward the potatoes as I ask.
“Yes. Major fluctuations occur daily, and minor ones every hour. Based on Cheese Village time, that is.”
“Ah….”
I nod my head.
“Today is… huh?”
One crop catches my eye.
[Potato] [△12%]
“Potatoes went up!”
I point at the potatoes and shout without thinking.
hahahahaha
That’s so cute lol
-Is this stocks?
Just as I’m laughing and delighted.
“Ahem~ young friend. You shouldn’t say things like that here.”
“?”
I turn around to see a stern-faced chibi avatar standing there.
It was a bizarre avatar with a large red Rudolph nose and donut-shaped ears on its head.
[Doughnutz]
The name was Doughnutz.
A streamer specializing in stocks and high-spending RPG games.
It’s a truly unusual combination, but surprisingly the viewership overlaps.
As a result, he became a major creator with over 5 million subscribers on AllTube and live viewer counts that rank among the highest in the non-gaming category.
Donuts lol
-This old guy was here too??
Here comes something big.
-Did Doughnut come?
-How is the streamer’s name Doughnut
What’s Dooly’s mood?
“Uh… why? Is it a rule?”
My innocent question, having never dealt with stocks in my life.
I thought there must be some game mechanic reason why I shouldn’t mention what went up.
Doughnutz exclaims at my naïveté.
“Even if potatoes went up, other crops went down. If you laugh and boast about it like that here, you’re bound to face misfortune. The entire universe will drag you down, I tell you!”
‘So he was saying I was jealous?’
Only then did I understand what he meant, and I glanced around.
People who had said nothing just moments ago were suddenly whispering among themselves.
“Potato’s prices went up?”
“Almond doesn’t even farm, does he?”
“So the M&A with Danmuji was real?”
“Ugh. My stomach really hurts!”
“Filthy capitalist pigs….”
Everyone exchanged whispers with dark expressions, yet I heard them all too clearly.
It seemed like they had no particular thoughts until Doughnutz spoke, then they all began talking at once.
Hahahahaha
He’s deliberately whispering and gossiping lol
Hahaha, a roleplay scenario haha
Haha lol
M&A lol that’s funny
-We should play along with Doughnutz~
Perhaps it was because of Doughnutz’s age and the fact that he was a major creator with a whopping 5 million subscribers on AllTube?
In any case, I understood.
‘He’s not wrong.’
One way or another, what Doughnutz said was correct.
This wasn’t something that should be said publicly.
“I’ll be careful.”
“Good. Ahem, ahem. Smart… no, you’re a righteous young man. Your sincerity has moved me, so I’ll impart a lesson.”
“Oh.”
I can’t bring myself to even say he’s smart lol
-Doughnutz’s teaching??
This is crazy, it’s such a coincidence.
Doughnutz, a major streamer well-versed in economics.
Any wisdom from him would surely be helpful.

* * *
Meanwhile, Jello and Chocosong.
Cang…!
The mine where they were located still echoed with the melancholic sound of pickaxes.
“…Huh?”
They discovered something strange.
It wasn’t ore or anything like that.
“What are those people?”
People.
But at first glance, they didn’t seem like friendly people.
Their usernames weren’t visible.
“J-Jello. Let’s hide for now?”
Whoosh!
The two of them hid behind a large ore boulder and observed them.
“Damn non-selected personnel… if only we had ten more plots of fertile soil….”
“Either way, mining is our only path to survival.”
“Yes…”
Clang! Clang!
They were swinging their pickaxes in despair and anger.
‘Fertile soil?’
Jello grasped it intuitively.
‘This is….’
The path through which Almond had brought the fertile soil—it must have come from them.
“J-Jello?!”
Chocosong tried to stop her, but Jello made a decision and stepped forward.
‘If I just walk past, how will this make for good content?’
Truth be told, it was half for the stream.
With both arms raised, she called out to them.
“Um… you all?”
But she never expected this kind of reaction.
“?”
“!?”
Whoosh!
The Paprika Residents startled and all drew their weapons.
