The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 103
34. Feudal Society (2)
One hour before the monster attack.
“Is a new monster appearing today?”
Department Manager Jang speaks to Park O-hun beside him with a tired expression.
It was time for a new monster to make its appearance.
“Yaaaaaawn… Auwulf, right?”
“It’s Auwulf, not a yawn-Auwulf.”
“…I was just yawning. If you don’t like hearing it, why don’t you send me home?”
Department Manager Jang decided to ignore that remark and moved on to something else.
“You have high expectations for the Auwulves, don’t you?”
Auwulf.
As the name suggests, they’re wolf-type monsters.
Fundamentally different from the cute moles.
“Well… yes, I suppose. I’m hoping that through the Auwulves, the residents will learn about ‘cooperation’ and ‘vigilance.'”
If Ttududoji damages crops, Auwulves hunt humans.
Their combat power is correspondingly high, and they’re quite intelligent.
“These monsters also coordinate their attacks. Like wolves do.”
Acting as organized as wolves made them quite troublesome to eliminate.
“So Almond just handles it all alone with a few quick moves, right?”
Department Manager Jang speaks with concern, but Park O-hun shakes his head vigorously.
“That’s not possible.”
Even Almond alone can’t manage against the Auwulves.
“Each one of them has about twice the combat power of players like Paprika. At night, that is. But there are almost thirty of them, aren’t there?”
“Wow. That’s rough.”
“Yes. Almond can’t stop them alone. When he fought Paprika, viewers were able to give him infinite buffs so he could fight, right? Will they give him buffs like that this time?”
They won’t.
This is common knowledge among all streamers.
Donations generally don’t respond to repetitive actions.
Just because similar situations keep occurring doesn’t mean donations will come in similarly.
In other words, Almond likely won’t receive donation buffs this time.
Department Manager Jang knows this well too.
“That can’t be right. Probably won’t get buffs like that. Then… Cheese Village’s wealthiest farmer will collapse once more?”
Monsters always target the largest farmland, as they always do.
This time it would be Danmuzip.
“Not only that, but the adjacent areas and beyond will suffer damage too. Through this, the residents will realize they must cooperate, and they’ll also understand the importance of iron ore.”
“What if Almond distributes his iron equipment beforehand? And they cooperate?”
The only possible way to defend would be if Almond distributed his equipment in advance.
But that won’t happen.
Right now, that equipment is Almond’s lifeline.
“He wouldn’t be like that until it actually happened to him. It seems he knows that’s his only stronghold right now.”
Department Manager Jang nodded in agreement.
That made sense.
Especially since Zhang Fei was consumable.
Almond would want to hold onto as many as possible.
For the profit.
However, there was someone else who would gain the most profit.
“Jello will benefit the most when he returns.”
That was Jello.
He was the only one who challenged the mine and came back with iron ore.
Most players had given up after repeatedly dying in the mine, but these players had not.
Because they had nowhere else to go.
But now an opportunity was coming for them too.
Once the village residents were attacked by monsters, they would surely want iron ore.
Maximum demand was waiting for them.
“Yes. Jello will likely flip the board once. I think we should focus on Jello next time.”
The production team predicted where the excitement would be and set up their cameras accordingly.
Even in a virtual space, there were limits to camera setup, and there were limits to editing staff too.
They had to be selective and focused.
“Right. For now, Danmuzip. Once Jello arrives, Jello.”
The order was decided.
Until the monsters arrived and chaos broke loose, Danmuzip would be the main focus, then Jello.
“Don’t miss it.”
“Yes.”
The production team adjusted their cameras with eyes wide open.
But they were human too.
Concentration always had its limits.
“Yaaawn….”
And so night fell upon Cheese Village.
Tap!
Someone next to him tapped Park O-hun awake.
“Huh? What, what is it?”
“They’re coming. The monsters!”
Awooooooo!
The moment Auwulf’s howl echoed, all their numerous cameras turned toward Danmuzip.

* * *
Thirty minutes before the attack.
Danmuzip was in a festive atmosphere.
Though the proportions differed, they had earned substantial coin regardless.
Danbong could gradually repay the debt for the fertile soil, and Gobong—though he couldn’t know the exact amount—could slowly reduce what he owed to Danmuji through his fixed salary.
In any case, it was clearly a good beginning.
“Almond! Almond! Almond!”
Gobong cheered my name while dancing.
“Master! Shall I pour you some drink!”
Danbong eagerly poured a cup.
But I declined.
“Not yet.”
“…Pardon?”
I spoke with considerable gravitas.
“It’s too early to pop the champagne.”
hahahahahahaha
The Force is basically everyone lol
Haha, that’s hilarious!
-Why is it so funny when 2-head-tall characters act like this
-I came here to heal through fishing but somehow became an organization boss…
Hahaha so cute hahaha
Almond was someone far removed from carelessness, regardless of anything else.
It was a quality I’d always cultivated in archery—maintaining the same level of focus whether winning or losing.
At my attitude, Danbong quickly grabbed the green tea again.
Whoosh!
“Ah, yes, right! My apologies! It’s not alcohol but, uh, green tea instead.”
“We had something we needed to do, didn’t we?”
“Ah. Yes. You mean ‘that’?”
Danbong gazed out the window, calculating the time as the sunset descended.
“The timing is perfect. Let’s head out.”
Almond and the Bongbong duo left the house.

* * *
A moment later.
The three of us stood before the NPC Bigfarm.
“…You want to sell the land back to me? I can only offer the original price, I’m afraid.”
Bigfarm tilted his head as if looking at peculiar people.
It was like trying to resell an apartment to the developer at the original construction price instead of market value—understandable confusion.
But these three had their reasons.
Danmuji stepped forward to explain.
“Ah, yes. We simply don’t want word spreading around the neighborhood about the sale.”
They needed to sell the land without drawing attention from other players.
“Heh… The land value is bound to skyrocket. Yet you return it to society? Three Buddhas have descended to this world. Avalokiteshvara.”
-?
-Three Buddhas lol
-What kind of Buddha is named Gobong lol
‘Wait, the land is mine—why three Buddhas?’
Danmuji had that thought for a moment, but quickly wanted to proceed with the transaction.
Other players couldn’t see this.
“Let’s go ahead and sell it?”
“Very well.”
Danmuji sold back all the land under his name, excluding the fertile soil that was under joint ownership with Almond.
“Hehe. To return so much to the village. My heart has grown warm—please accept this….”
Ting~
A clear sound, and a gleaming coin appeared.
I thought he’d given us a gold coin or something, but checking it revealed otherwise.
[Village Patron Coin]
“…A Village Patron Coin?”
I tilted my head in confusion.
The others felt the same.
“What is this?”
“It looks like a profession coin or something.”
Bigfarm chuckled at their words and spoke.
“Warm-hearted young people must lead this village, so I give this to you. Sometimes great power brings great burden… What say you? Will you bear this great burden for the village?”
A great burden?
Danmuji looked deeply flustered.
It seemed troublesome work was about to come.
Right when things were critical too.
“No, we’re just afraid of monsters—”
——Smack!
Almond suddenly slapped Danmuji across the mouth.
“You fool, Danbong!!”
“?!”
“What gives you the right to refuse?”
“B-but it’s my land….”
“Heheheh!”
-?
-Lolololol
-Danbong’s land lololol
-What’s happening suddenly lololol
-Sudden acceleration lololol
Almond bowed his head toward Bigfarm and extended his hand.
‘I don’t know what it is, but it looks good.’
In my view, this was definitely something worth accepting.
Sure, it came with a heavy burden, but he said great power came with it too.
“I was taught that accepting what the world gives with gratitude is the way of the Buddha. I shall accept it gratefully.”
“There’s no such teaching, though….”
“Avalokiteshvara~”
Not caring about such things, Almond simply pressed his palms together in supplication.
-Hahahahahaha
-Almond lololol
-lololol Danmuji is still young
-Making up Buddhist teachings lol
-There’s no such teaching lololol
Bigfarm, pushed along, pressed his palms together and bowed in return.
“Ahem, ahem. Avalokiteshvara….”
Though something felt off, Bigfarm eventually handed over the coin.
Ding.
[You have obtained the hidden item ‘Village Patron’s Coin’!]
“…Hidden?”
“Huh?”
“Oh…!”
At the word “hidden,” all three of them made eye contact and gasped in amazement.
They all had the same thought.
‘Jackpot.’
Whatever it was, it seemed like it would be useful.
“Should we head back?”
“Yeah.”
The joy was short-lived as we quickly rushed back into Danmuzip.
Monsters would be swarming soon.
“Just in case, should we block the entrance with wood?”
“Good idea, Gobong. That’s smart! They might make it this far.”
“Here we go!”
I couldn’t rule out the possibility of monsters attacking Danmuzip again.
Games always had bugs and judgment errors, after all.
They had prepared thoroughly.
Tonight would be the day that completely decided the difference between Bigfarm and Danmuzip.

* * *
In the gathering darkness.
Tap-tap-tap-tap.
I confirmed three shadows entering Danmuzip.
“They’re here.”
They were assassins from Bigfarm hiding in the bushes.
[Hong-cha]
[Lemon]
[Greentea]
[Baeksuk]
Hong-cha, the leader among them, briefed those behind her.
“When the monster comes, that’s when we move out. Okay?”
“Roger that~”
“Yes!”
They had come to check what was planted in their field.
Since the system prohibited directly digging through someone else’s field, they were aiming for the moment when the monster attacked and the ground would be completely torn up.
“We’re just confirming the crops, right?”
“Well… yeah, that’s right.”
Hong-cha added with a sly smile.
“But if the opportunity comes up, we can teach them a lesson too.”
Ehehe.
They all laughed wickedly.
Hahaha these guys are hilarious haha
-Let’s teach them a lesson!
-Danmuzip’s comeuppance incoming~
Haha, I’m looking forward to it.
Moments later.
A wolf’s howl echoed out.
“Awooooooooo~!”
The moment of reckoning had arrived.
