The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 104
34. Feudal Society (3)
Doughnutz established the Agricultural Cooperative, an alliance of farmers, and built tremendous influence by manipulating market prices at will.
Especially with his background as an Ivy League economics graduate, people revered and followed him like a god, and Doughnutz repaid their faith.
At first, it was good.
While individual members of the Agricultural Cooperative couldn’t match Danmuzip, as a collective they held the greatest power in Cheese Village.
Until I met Almond.
“Uuuuuh. Back away!”
“The Agricultural Cooperative is no longer yours! Doughnutz!”
Doughnutz was completely caught by Almond’s ‘Potato Illusion Magic’.
My standing plummeted to the ground.
“How did an economics degree lose to a physical education major!?”
“Get out before Ivy League sues you!”
Everyone told me to step down, but I couldn’t.
“There’s still… there’s still a chance! Everyone!”
I still had one more opportunity.
I could make one final move.
“Tonight, I sent some of our physically capable members from the Agricultural Cooperative. If we can perfectly assess the crops there… we can at least prevent the Danmuzip Alliance from purchasing their own private refrigeration warehouse. Then… then the age of the Agricultural Cooperative will return! Everyone!!”
A refrigeration warehouse.
This was an incredibly important item in farming.
With it, you could sell crops at high prices when you wanted and stockpile them when prices were low.
However, the price was astronomical, and maintaining it consumed valuable land.
At Cheese Village’s current economic scale, there was no way for an individual to afford one.
Moreover, even if you had a warehouse, it was useless if you couldn’t profit from agricultural price fluctuations, so it wasn’t easy to acquire one rashly.
That’s why I established the Agricultural Cooperative.
Because only I had the ability to respond to these agricultural commodity price changes.
‘If another one emerges, that would be troublesome.’
But now the movements of Danmuzip seemed unusual.
Fertile soil had been completely laid, farming had begun, and they were already gaining tremendous profit margins.
It seemed they might even be able to purchase a refrigeration warehouse with their own capital.
That’s why today was the decisive battle.
“Well, everyone. You all have crops stocked in the warehouse, right?”
“…Yes, we do. But will this actually work?”
Ppulranem questioned me with a face full of complaint.
“If this doesn’t work again, you’d better be prepared! Huh!?”
Haha, I’m dizzy.
-The CEO is really struggling…
Haha, the ramen is so spicy!
Even though it was a game, his tone felt genuinely pressuring.
Doughnutz nodded with difficulty and spoke.
“Just trust me one more time. Haven’t I been doing well all this while? Everyone? This time, Hong-cha will come back with precise information on the crops! And the moment we shift everything to short positions! They’re finished, I’m telling you!”
At those words, the howl of a wolf pierced through the air.
“Awooooooooo!!!”

* * *
Hong-cha concealed herself in the darkness.
She gave a signal toward the back.
“They’re coming.”
Monsters were pouring in.
Thump thump thump…!
In fact, the ground was shaking so violently that a signal wasn’t even necessary.
“Grrrrrrr!”
The sheer number of them was evident from the distinctive growling breaths of wolves echoing from the outskirts of the village.
“T-They’re here.”
Greentea pointed at something from behind.
Monsters were charging from that direction.
“Good…”
Hong-cha grinned wickedly.
“This is no joke in terms of scale.”
“Hehehehe! Right, sis! We’re about to cause some real chaos here~!”
“A festival, then.”
“Festival, festival~”
Hehehehe.
The two faced each other and laughed with excitement.
Hahahahaha
-They’re so pumped up
Why are the monster ranks different???
-This is gonna be fun
-Goodbye Danmuji~
I thought the monsters would be around Ttududoji level at most, but I never expected them to come in this scale.
“We might not even need to lift a finger for this.”
“Heaven is on our side.”
Baeksuk and Greentea nodded as they watched the monsters approach.
The closer they got, the more apparent their massive numbers became.
Was heaven truly helping us?
This looked like something even Almond couldn’t stop. It wasn’t a matter of equipment.
The difference in absolute numbers was far too great.
Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump!!!
They drew closer and closer.
Closer, ever closer.
The speed is incredible.
I even feel sorry thinking about how they’re tearing through Danmuzip at that pace.
Hong-cha slowly rises from her seat.
The monsters charged forward.
Without stopping, straight ahead.
“They’re coming. We slip in between the monsters and go through. As much as possible─”
Right up to here.
──CRASH!!!
Hong-cha’s body suddenly gets struck by the black monster horde and flies off somewhere in a blur.
All that remains is her scream.
“KYAAAAAAAAAAA!??”
Lemon gets swept up and dragged along too.
“W-What!?”
“Ugh!”
Greentea and Baeksuk, who were slightly further back, tumble across the ground before lifting their heads again.
Whoosh, whoosh.
They turn their heads to check Hong-cha’s location.
“This is… insane…”
The monsters just passed right by Danmuzip.
I have no idea where they’re headed.
Hong-cha was trembling about fifty meters away where she landed.
“Ugh… what even is this…”
-??
-?
-What is this lolololol
-What’s going on?
The viewers are all bewildered too.
Lemon asks from beside her.
“Um, unnie… Danmuzip wasn’t the target, right? It’s completely fine…”
She was right.
Danmuzip passed through without a single scratch.
“No way. Doughnutz clearly said he was targeting the largest field, didn’t he?”
Greentea comes over and explains.
Baeksuk nods as well.
“That’s right. It’s always been like that?”
Not just once or twice—how many times has Cirque’s Night happened so far?
There were no exceptions among them.
The hypothesis that he targets the largest field was compelling.
But suddenly an exception appears today?
Of all days, on the day of the operation?
Crack.
Hong-cha’s teeth ground together.
“Damn it! Curse this!”
Thud!
In her fury, she kicked Danmuzip’s field.
“Huh…?”
A handful of soil scattered into the air.
“…?”
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
This land clearly belonged to Danmuji, so interference restrictions should have been in place.
A mere kick shouldn’t have caused any effect.
At the very least, Hong-cha’s name should have turned red.
But neither happened.
“What is this? Why is it so easy to dig?”
Thud, thud, thud.
Hong-cha picked up a pickaxe and dug further into the ground.
“There’s nothing planted here at all?”
No soil held any crops whatsoever.
Gulp.
Everyone quietly swallowed their dry saliva.
“Could it be…”
That’s when it happened.
BOOM!
A tremendous explosion seized their attention.
“…!?”
Fire broke out somewhere in the village.
“F-Fire?”
“What?”
Part of a house collapsed, and the lantern candles and oil inside spilled out, igniting everything.
That house was incredibly unlucky.
Which house could possibly be cursed like this?
Greentea reacted the fastest.
“Kyyyyyeeeek?!”
He made a strange noise as his eyes rolled back.
-?
-What
-Huh?
-Isn’t that our house?
“W-Wait, that’s Hong-cha’s house?”
“What nonsense are you spouting! Do you want to jinx us!?”
Hong-cha couldn’t accept it.
Of all places, my house?
And Danmuzip gets spared?
“No, no, I’m serious! Run, run! Everyone run like crazy!!”
But reality was cruel.
It was real.
“!”
It didn’t take long for everyone to accept that it was real.
The location on the map was far too clear.
The fact that Danmuzip’s field had been torn up moments ago simply vanished from their minds.
Such was the extent of their panic.
“No… no, no, no!!”
They could only focus on running desperately.
An enormous horde of monsters was destroying everything of Hong-cha’s, and the flame demon spread its might to the neighboring house, then the one next to that.
Whoooosh…!
“Are you insane?”
Ding.
[jpg donated 30,000 won.]
[I heard there was a fire somewhere, so I went to check… but it was my own house burning…]
With this donation, the flame demon completely collapses Hong-cha’s house.
Crash!

* * *
A group of men admired the soaring flames through the window.
It was Almond, Danbong, and Gobong.
“A complete success, Danbong!”
“Haha, it’s burning beautifully~”
Lol Danbong 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
-Danmuji pulled it off~
Haha, that’s it!
Danmuji’s plan had succeeded perfectly.
Almond nodded in agreement as well.
“Well done, Danbong.”
“Thank you so much!”
Thanks to Danbong, I obtained village sponsor coins and avoided monster casualties.
I made a substantial profit.
“I have something to give you two.”
It was the same back in Aseng.
Even if you had to play rough sometimes, you had to properly acknowledge a good play.
I stood up from my seat and pulled out something, dropping it with a thud.
This was a complete symbol of trust, and the beginning of another new venture.
[Iron Armor]
[Iron Sword]
[Iron Helmet]
.
.
.
It was a complete set of iron equipment.
“…W-What is this?”
Danbong’s eyes glistened.
Tears mixed with gratitude and resentment.
‘This crazy bastard… You had something like this?’
Why didn’t you show me this until now? You should’ve sold it for money.
What the heck, haha
-There was that much???
hahahaha
Even a steel millionaire prayed, wow.
-What exactly is his identity???
Countless monsters that had tormented me flashed through my mind.
However, Almond’s next words quickly cleared my head.
“Both of you, put them on.”
“Huh?”
You want me to put it on right now?
“Our former team leader was once obsessed with stocks. He said something like this.”
“…What?”
What kind of insane thing was he trying to say now, borrowing someone else’s words?
Danbong’s hands trembled slightly.
“Sell when fear strikes.”
“…?”
-?
-??
-???
-Isn’t it the opposite?
hahahahaha
-When fear strikes, you can only sell, right?
Hahahahaha lol
Actually, it was “buy when fear strikes,” but Danbong didn’t bother correcting him. It wouldn’t stick anyway.
“Hong-cha must be exhausted by fear right now.”
“Y-Yes, that’s right.”
“So we’re going to sell.”
“Sell what? This iron set?”
“No, no.”
*Point.*
Almond pointed at himself.
“Us.”
“Us, sir?”
“We protect them from monsters, then collect protection money.”
Either get exposed or join in lol
Is it silver or lead? lol
-Insane; Nut Fans cartel
Breaking Nuts is crazy
Danbong’s eyes wavered.
“Th-That’s just gangsterism, isn’t it?”
How far is this guy planning to go?
He said he was fishing?
“According to Namu Wiki, it was the duty of landlords to protect tenant farmers.”
-Namu Wiki lol
Did you come watch that too to do well as a landlord? ㅠㅠㅠ ㅋㅋㅋ
Why are you trying so hard? lol
Danbong nodded.
“Y-Yes, that’s true. But Hong-cha isn’t a tenant farmer… so why Hong-cha specifically?”
Besides, he doesn’t even collect protection money from tenant farmers?
That’s when Gobong interjected.
He had an uncanny ability to sniff out the scent of a potential successor.
“Ah, so you’re saying you’re going to catch Hong-cha?!”
Exactly.
Almond’s words meant that Hong-cha would become a tenant farmer now.
-It was an advance payment lol
-Hahahahahaha
-Gobong’s successor acquired~lol
-So Hong-cha becomes the successor lol
-That’s right lol
-So that’s what it meant to become a tenant farmer lol
