The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 101
33. Physical Education vs. Economics (3)
“Haa… haa….”
Jello and Chocosong emerged from the mine, gasping for breath.
“J-Jello. Are you alright?”
“Y-Yes… I’m… fine. They won’t be able to chase us anymore, right?”
“Ahhh~ They haven’t been chasing us since way back.”
Chocosong flashed her thumb triumphantly.
She had completely shaken off the enemies.
“Phew. So then….”
Jello let out a satisfied chuckle.
“Shall we check our inventory?”
Their inventories were brimming with iron ore.
“I have 93.”
“I have 87.”
-Sick
-Insane
-This is gonna be huge
-Ohhh
“With this much, we could probably craft five or six iron armor sets—the ones that require the most iron, right?”
“Wow, seriously! We’re gonna be rich soon! Jello, what will you do when you become rich?”
“Me… I’d like to buy some land, build a house, farm a bit, and at night I’d sit by a bonfire and joke around with people. That’s how I’d want to live.”
-Ooh
-So romantic…
-Isn’t this a flag lolol
-When I become rich I’m gonna confess to her!
-Lololol nice
With such hopeful dreams in their hearts, they headed toward the village.
Jello suddenly asked a question.
“Oh, but Chocosong. Haven’t we figured out the market price for iron ore yet?”
“That’s right… It seems people don’t need it that much yet.”
It would be difficult to get a proper valuation if they sold the iron ore right now.
“No, you have to sell when demand is high for it to become real money.”
“Uh… really? We could just sell now and sell again later, couldn’t we?”
“If you sell later, it’s hard to raise the price. Do you know why jjajangmyeon is cheaper than pasta? Jjajangmyeon requires way more skill to make, yet it costs half the price of pasta!?”
“Oh… you’re absolutely right.”
-For real, he’s right
-Jello’s got a point!
-True patriotic youth lol
-Yeah, that’s actually true
“What you need is branding. You have to make people recognize the value of these items to some degree.”
“Then… what should I do?”
“Let’s take a break for now.”
“Pardon?”
Jello knew well through the server chat how Almond had driven the price of fertile soil through the roof.
Simply disappearing with all the inventory.
“We’re tired from staying up all night anyway. After getting some proper sleep and coming back, you’ll be so sick of the monsters that you’ll want to buy iron ore.”
“…Ah!”
Chocosong clapped her hands in delight.
“Wow. You’re a genius. Think it’ll work?”
-Chocosong is so cute lol
-She reads the mood so well lol
-Sleep and come back a genius?
-Why does Jello look so smug lol
And so the two of them logged out side by side.
Unaware of the ripples this choice would create.

* * *
[Jello has logged out.]
[Chocosong has logged out.]
At the very moment these messages appeared in one corner of the server chat window.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!”
Thump.
Miho collapsed to the floor.
“P-Potatoes… Potatoes!”
[Potatoes] [▼100%]
Potatoes had crashed dramatically.
Danmuji was just as startled as Miho.
‘Is this even possible?’
Declines were certainly possible.
More supply meant a decline, more demand meant a rise.
This was simply the natural law of the market.
But if there was one difference between the early flow of Cheese Village and actual economics, it was that the “buyers” were AI.
While actual chefs or people raising livestock did purchase crops, the majority of the village’s current demand came from AI.
And these AI were programmed to move only within predictable parameters.
‘How did it get delisted?’
Even with large movements, they should stay within 30%.
But 100%?
There was no way the AI could produce such an extreme movement.
‘Whatever it is, I’m just grateful.’
Phew.
Danmuji wiped his chest clean.
Potatoes had nothing to do with him.
His gaze soon shifted to the crops they had cultivated.
[Tomato] [△ 21%]
[Chili Pepper] [△ 42%]
The prices had risen considerably.
‘Looks like luck is on my side?’
Though they’d suffered a monster attack, the price fortune seemed to be favoring them quite well.
And….
[Corn] [▲ 280%]
One figure that stood out.
Corn’s skyrocketing price.
‘What’s going on here?’
Corn too was experiencing an unprecedented surge.
It was a jackpot.
But why were the fluctuations so extreme?
The answer lay with the chefs, as always.
“Do you have any corn!!”
“I’ll add more corn! Corn!”
More precisely, I should say aspiring chefs.
After all, their true occupation was still unemployed.
To become a chef, they had to complete a Quest first.
This Quest was the entire reason behind the corn price surge.
==== ====
[Occupation Quest]
Raise Corn Porridge proficiency to 100%!
==== ====
The first objective of the Quest to obtain a Chef Coin was to raise Corn Porridge proficiency to 100%.
[Corn Porridge] [Proficiency 12%]
Still hovering around 12%.
Corn Porridge required a substantial amount of corn.
[Pickle: Do you have any corn?]
[Greentea: Where did all the corn go? Why are there suddenly so many aspiring chefs? Let’s be reasonable here?]
[Cutie Pie: I want to be a chef too? haha]
[Green Tea: Ahaha, idols are always welcome here as chefs ^^7]
[Hong-cha: ….]
[Greentea: ?]
Many of the aspiring farmers had switched over to becoming chefs.
This was because they had all discovered abnormal status conditions like [Boredom] and [Disgust].
My desire for new food sources had grown.
[Cutie Pie: But I already secured all the corn? >_>>>> American Ivy League economics
-What’s the point of studying economics for a hundred days and graduating from Ivy League~ when you get outplayed by a high school graduate lololol
-I’ve never seen a crazy bastard at Ivy League who planted corn and believed it was a potato~
