The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 108
35. Song-ja Bae (4)
“Don’t let anyone through here.”
“Yes, sir!”
At Almond’s command, Danbong quickly kicked Gobong aside and began surveying the surroundings.
The sun was slowly rising, but everything around us remained dim.
The atmosphere felt desolate and eerie.
With nothing but charred ruins scattered about in all directions, it was hardly inviting.
Though I’d ordered no one through, not a single resident was foolish enough to venture into what had been a death trap mere moments ago.
The silence was profound. When silence deepens, the mind tends to wander.
I engaged with my viewers.
“So what do we do about Hongsong and Resong?”
I was troubled by the question of what to do with Hongsong and Resong.
-Hongsong and Resong lol
-Why worry about those brats, they’re slaves anyway
-Right?
-Why even think about it.
Some viewers mocked me for overthinking the situation of mere slaves, but I was far more than a simple slave.
“In the end, I’m the one who has to manage everything.”
Whenever Almond initiated something, I was the one left to clean up the mess.
Ding.
[Sage donated 1,000 won.]
[Wouldn’t you just work them as tenant farmers?]
Tenant farmers… that’s the problem.
“If we work Hong-cha Lemon as tenant farmers and split the profits, how much revenue do you think we’d actually make? Not much. We wouldn’t even cover labor costs.”
-lololol
-That’s exactly what merchants always say lol
-Labor costs lol
-Are there even labor costs in that world?
-Forget labor costs, just give Gobong some human rights lol
It seemed absurd to discuss labor costs in a world without minimum wage.
But I was serious.
“We can’t maintain Hong-cha’s current land size. We have to reduce it. But then the efficiency drops too much.”
If we kept the Hong-cha fields at their current size, we’d face monster attacks again.
We had no choice but to shrink it.
But since Hong-cha wasn’t fertile soil, reducing it meant the revenue would be cut in half, then halved again.
“Our strategy ultimately means everyone else dies out…”
The agricultural restructuring Danmuji had proposed was ultimately a plan that only benefited Danmuzip.
We couldn’t absorb the other workers while maintaining a win-win structure.
This way, we could accumulate wealth, but we could never build the kind of influence the agricultural cooperative had.
“What are you trying to do?”
I couldn’t fathom Almond’s intentions.
-lol
-Won’t even cover labor costs
-What a dilemma
-What do we do?
“Hmm. Is he going to run those two through the Knight order and extort protection money like a security company?”
hahaha
-Extort? Really!
Haha, you’re such a thug, seriously.
-That’s probably it?
-I think Almond said he’d do that
As Danbong’s mind grew increasingly tangled.
‘Hm?’
His keen eye caught sight of someone lurking in the darkness far ahead.
“Hey. Who’s there?”
“…!”
Whoosh.
Danbong hurled his torch swiftly.
Illuminated by the torch were Hongsong-i and Resong-i.
‘What are these bastards doing here?’
Hong-cha and Lemon tensed immediately.
‘We’re screwed.’
‘Damn it, of all times….’
They’d been caught before they could ambush.
hahahahaha, ruined
lol
-Danmuji’s dynamic vision is insane!
-Wow
Danbong spoke.
“Come over here. You two.”
Hong-cha’s mind grew complicated.
If they showed any suspicious behavior, Danbong would start screaming his head off.
‘What do we do, Older Sister?’
‘Just keep moving forward. Act natural.’
‘Keep moving?’
‘Yeah. Our target is Almond. Not some small fry like Danbong.’
‘Ah, got it.’
The two slowly approached without any sign of concern.
Danbong spoke to them.
“Hey. Songsong, run!”
“!”
At the sudden shout, Hong-cha and Lemon came rushing over.
What on earth was this about?
“When the senior is around, you run. Got it?”
“…?”
It was only for such a reason.
lol so funny
-Note) Danbong hasn’t served in the military yet
Hahahaha
Damn, haha
That’s so funny lolol
“Ah, understood.”
As Hong-cha reluctantly nodded, Danbong clicked his tongue disapprovingly.
“Tsk. I don’t care, but you’ll be in real trouble in front of Gobong, you know?”
“?”
Danbong was beginning to establish discipline among his juniors.
Hahahaha
-Danbong can hold back… but Gobong can’t!!
Good luck bad luck strategy lol
That’s seriously gross lol
“…”
Hong-cha felt a momentary urge to strike him once.
But since he had to obey orders, he lowered his head.
“Ah, yes. Understood.”
“Yes, sir!”
Lemon answered with spirited enthusiasm.
Only then was Danbong satisfied.
“Good voice. You do well when you try. Why do I have to tell you~ like this?”
“Ah, no, sir!”
Hahahahaha single-bonded shekㅋㅋㅋ
-ㅋㅋㅋ The Knights’ shitty discipline
Haha, that’s funny!
Lemon suits you so well lol
Danbong scanned both of them and began his interrogation.
“Where did you go and what did you do? Without a word. Don’t you know the reporting system?”
“Ah… it was such an urgent matter that there wasn’t even time to report!”
Hong-cha shouted while standing at attention.
-Did Hong-cha serve in the military?
Why do they match so well lol
-General’s voice lol
Hong-cha’s voice was low for a woman, giving off a military officer vibe.
“Bong-daejan is disappointed. Hong-cha.”
That’s why Danmuji suddenly became a captain.
-lololololololol
-Bong-daejan lolol
-Bong-daejan lol seriously, Bong-captain is right lolol
Pfft….
Hong-cha nearly burst into laughter for a moment, but quickly shook her head and shouted.
“I’m so sorry!”
“Since you show signs of remorse, let me hear your excuse. Where did you go and just come back?”
Hong-cha had a prepared scenario.
“I, I went to retrieve some crops I had!”
“Crops?”
“They’re at the agricultural cooperative warehouse!”
“Ah.”
“If I’d waited any longer, those thugs would have blocked the way, so I hurried back! It’s for the revival of the Knight Order!”
“That’s right!”
Lemon chimes in.
“So what did you bring back?”
….
Hong-cha’s words trail off.
She hadn’t brought anything back, and truthfully, she never even went to the warehouse.
“That is….”
“?”
“Some thugs reported ahead, so we were forbidden from entering.”
A brief silence fell.
“Ahem. Well. Yes. Since you acted out of loyalty, I’ll let it slide this time.”
Fortunately, Danbong didn’t suspect much.
“Yes! Thank you!”
Hong-cha saluted and spoke.
“But… where is Almond?”
“Almond is near your house. He seems to be checking if there’s anything salvageable since it’s become ruins.”
“Then may I go to my house?”
Danmuji hesitated for a moment.
‘He said no one should go there.’
Now that I think about it, didn’t Almond say not to let anyone in?
But does that include Hong-cha?
It’s her own house.
Besides, she’s on our side now.
I don’t think that’s the case.
“Fine. Go ahead.”
Since I need to stay here and guard, I send Hong-cha and Lemon inside.

* * *
Meanwhile, Almond.
I was clearing away the blackened ruins of Hong-cha’s house.
The ground that had been buried deeper and deeper gradually comes into view.
[Fertile Soil]
-Whoa whoa whoa
-Wait, isn’t this that thing???
-No way
‘This can’t be real.’
Hong-cha’s house burned down, and with monster corpses piling up on top of it, fertile soil was created once again.
It’s not as much as what I saw in Paprika Village, but this is still a considerable amount.
I never expected such good fortune to come again.
Boom!
[Danbong has donated 100,000 won!]
[Perfect Farm really exists!!!]
hahahahahaha
-For real lol it was here
-Wow lol
-The mother lode appeared lol
-Damn
-Eureka~!
-Things work out for those meant to succeed lol
-Did the Production Team intend this?
-Whoa whoa whoa
The Perfect Farm that Dotorimuk had been desperately searching for has appeared inside Cheese Village.
I approach closer and check the information.
==== ====
[Fertile Soil]
Rarity: Legendary
Grade: B
Description: Dark and fertile soil made from blood and sweat. All harvest yields increase by 200%.
==== ====
‘Huh?’
Here I notice a difference from the soil I had been carrying.
‘Grade B?’
The grade is different.
The harvest yield is only 200%.
Of course, even this alone is an overwhelming spec compared to other soil that doesn’t even reach 100%.
My soil was definitely S-rank, and the harvest yield was 300%.
I pull out one soil sample I’d kept in my inventory.
==== ====
[Fertile Soil]
Rarity: Legendary
Grade: S+
Description: Dark and fertile soil kneaded with blood, sweat, and dragon’s breath. All harvest yields increase by 300%.
*Moisture: Retains moisture twice as long.
*Water Management: Harvested crops are guaranteed to be A-grade or higher, with a 15% chance of producing S-grade crops.
*Warmth: Dragon’s breath energy lingers, allowing farming even in sub-zero temperatures.
==== ====
They’re genuinely different.
The attached properties were different.
The difference was embarrassingly stark.
-Huh?
-Wait, it’s different??
-So fertile soil has different grades too
Grade refers to craftsmanship, while rarity is literally the rarity of the item itself.
This B-grade fertile soil is rare, but its craftsmanship isn’t particularly good.
‘So there are different types of fertile soil like this.’
It seems the grade varies depending on how the fertile soil is created.
-How could anything be better than something made from dragon’s breath and human essence lol
-But this is still insanely good??
-Either way, both are good
-The 300% yield and moisture retention are the key lol
Regardless of the grade difference, the specs are overwhelmingly superior compared to the soil I chose.
I lifted my pickaxe.
I had to take all of this before someone else arrived here.
“Let’s hurry and take it.”
I swing the pickaxe with force.
Clang. Clang.
I’m putting several soil blocks into my inventory when—
‘Huh?’
Thud—
The pickaxe is pushed back by an invisible force in one spot.
-Whoa
-Must be interference blocking
-lmao
Interference Blocked.
It was a function that remained active because this field belonged to Hong-cha.
The land destroyed and overturned by monsters could be taken freely, but the untouched areas still maintained the interference block.
-What the
-??
-No way
-Gasp
‘This can’t be happening.’
Almond hadn’t considered the interference block.
While only a few areas maintained the interference block, even a few pieces of fertile soil stuck here would expose the fertile soil recipe.
‘What do I do?’
He was deeply flustered.
It was an unexpected crisis.
-He’s done lol
-What
Almond’s first crisis is shocking.
-Damn it, does he just have to give it to Hong-cha???
-Let’s go fishing instead~
It was Almond who had monopolized every advantage through the fertile soil until now.
But what if the secret of the fertile soil is revealed to a player who was formerly in the agricultural cooperative?
Things would become very difficult.
It couldn’t be compared to giving away an iron equipment set.
Just then, a voice came from behind.
“Master Almond~ Hongsong and Resong have arrived!”
“!”
It was Hong-cha’s voice.
Almond froze.
‘What. I said not to let them in.’
Ahem.
With a clearing of his throat, he turned his body toward them.
“What brings you here?”
“Well, I came to clean up my old house ruins….”
Hong-cha catches sight of what’s in Almond’s hand and startles.
“Isn’t that fertile soil?”
“Whoa!”
Lemon also jumps in surprise.
Whoosh.
Only then does Almond look down at his hand.
Fertile soil is held there.
The soil he had just taken out to compare.
Damn it.
‘What do I do?’
I’ve been caught.
Almond desperately racked my brain for something in that moment.
A single possibility to turn this situation around… no, to make it even better!
‘That’s it.’
It was worth trying.
Almond thought so and flashed a grin.
Then I lifted the fertile soil in my hand.
Like a champagne glass.
“Ah, this. It’s a gift.”
-?
-Huh?
-??
-I’m gatsby
-What?
Are you scared of fireworks?
And I pointed to Hong-cha’s field.
“I spread it all over here.”
“What?!”
It was true.
Fertile soil was spread across it.
“Congratulations on joining, Hongsong-i.”
-Kyaa
-Pretending he laid it down lol
-Since he’s 2 heads tall, the face ID isn’t working~
Haha, that’s hilarious!
Hahaha, that’s so funny!
-So natural lol
Hong-cha’s eyes trembled wildly.
Though she stood on a dark field, in her eyes, colorful fireworks were bursting overhead.
Poof.
‘Oh no… I’m from the agricultural cooperative…?’
As if reading her heart, one of the viewers sent a donation.
Ding.
[Hong-ga donated 20,000 won.]
[My savior who came to ruin my life]
