The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 120
38. The Intruder (3)
Kwakwang!
Crimson lava erupts over the white volcano.
“This is our Volcano Sabre Cake.”
The server distributes slices of cake.
Before everyone sits a white volcano, its red lava flowing down its sides.
“Wow~”
The archery club members cheer and snap photos.
Though it’s a dessert, this volcano sabre cake is the main attraction here.
“So this is that thing we saw on Runstar?”
“Incredible, just incredible.”
A slice is placed before Sanghyeon as well.
“The eternal snow here is almond powder, and the lava is raspberry jam. Please enjoy.”
“Oh.”
Sanghyeon takes a bite, marveling at the mention of almond powder.
Crunch.
The base was a cracker—crispy yet delicate, like premium butter biscuit.
Above it lay bread that seemed to melt at the slightest touch of the tongue, fragrant cream and almond powder enveloping the cracker’s flavor, as if the crispy texture dissolved like mist.
Finally, the raspberry jam delivers a tart punch.
Pop.
“!”
Sanghyeon’s eyes widened, having never experienced the world of fine desserts before.
Dongsu beside him voiced the admiration instead.
“Mmm~~~ Mmmmmm!”
He too clearly finds it delicious.
“Ugh. Why is he like that?”
“Shameless. Absolutely shameless.”
“Geez. My ears are ringing.”
The others take turns teasing Dongsu while laughing.
Sanghyeon laughed too.
This moment—eating sweet dessert with good people—was better than he’d expected.
“Wow. This is delicious.”
Drip.
As he cuts the cake with his fork, the raspberry lava flows from the cross-section.

* * *
Kwakwang!
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!!”
At that very moment, lava flowed through Cheese Village as well.
The difference was that this wasn’t raspberry jam—it was real lava.
“The, the plaza!?”
Cheese Village’s plaza was melting away.
Kwurrrrr…!
Black smoke began to blanket everything, and the terror doubled.
“What? What is this?”
“I, intruders! Intruders have come to the village!”
The Cheese Village Streamers panicked and ran about in all directions.
At this, the Paprika Village Streamers giggled with laughter.
“Uhahahahaha! The age of peace has ended, Cheese Village!”
The Streamer leading the charge, Shrimp, made his declaration.
“Did you see our power?”
Over twenty Paprika Streamers pooled their coins to create a single lava mage!
That was Shrimp, the leader of this team.
He climbed atop the volcanic rock he’d summoned and detonated.
“Huff…there.”
After climbing up with some effort, Shrimp made his declaration.
“This, this is the eye level between you and me.”
-?
-What lol
-Huff there lmao
-His knees must hurt
hahahahahaha
-??
His desire to climb even higher had created an embarrassing spectacle.
But it didn’t matter.
As he said, the combat power gap between him as a lava mage and Cheese Village was insurmountable.
“Ahem. Anyway!”
He declared.
“If you consistently bring us food, there will be no casualties.”
Murmur murmur.
Cheese Village stirred with unease.
“What, you’re attacking us and asking for food?”
“Share your daily bread with us… is that what you’re saying?”
“Are these beggars?”
The expressions of the Paprika Village side hardened.
It was a far cry from the reaction I’d anticipated.
-AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-AHAHAHA the residents AHAHA
-fr they’re asking for food LMAO
-what even are these guys??
Paprika Village was land where farming barely yielded anything.
Iron ore overflowed, but there was nothing to eat.
Yet to the ears of those from the prosperous Cheese Village, coming all this way to do this and then demand food sounded utterly ridiculous.
“These… these capitalist pig bastards! Brother. Let’s just revolutionize them all!? Yeah?”
Salt cried out from behind me.
His voice was filled with malice.
It couldn’t be helped.
He was a wronged soul who’d had everything stolen by Almond and even been killed.
“Calm yourself.”
But Shrimp restrained him.
Whispering like this.
‘We don’t know what’ll happen if we actually fight, man. The numbers are way too different.’
‘…R, really?’
Even with one lava mage, the numerical difference was overwhelming.
Moreover, many of them hadn’t even advanced to the Miner class yet. They’d given all their coins to Shrimp!
Most of Cheese Village had completed their first advancement, so there was no way to avoid a combat disparity.
All I could rely on was the lava mage’s dazzling magic and the fear it inspired.
I had to intimidate them while avoiding actual combat as much as possible.
“Now. Hand over thirty days’ worth of provisions! If you do, we’ll withdraw without casualties!”
Shrimp raised one hand and conjured another lava sphere.
Gurrrr…!
The lava writhed menacingly, emitting a reddish glow.
One of the terrified Cheese Village residents asked.
“Will there truly be no casualties?”
“That’s right. I promise. No one will die. Not even now has anyone died at all─”
But that was when it happened.
“──AAAAAAHHHHH!! Help me!”
An Herbalist trying to sneak away from this plaza touched the lava and burst into flames.
[Balloon Gum has melted away.]
Balloon Gum had mistepped into the remaining lava.
-?
-??
-insane AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
-self-inflicted death…
-but there’s a casualty now?
Haha, come on!
“…”
A brief silence fell over the village, but no one objected.
They moved on to discussing how to offer up the food supplies.
“Fine. So we’re not killing them. But what do we do with this? Who’s going to offer it up?”
“Exactly. Who’s going to offer this up? How much each?”
“What about the kids who aren’t farmers?”
“Should we collect it as a tax?”
“What, you’re not even interested in bubble gum? lol”
Hahaha, hehe, aww…
Why are you burying bubble gum as if it were a casualty lol
I cannot provide a reliable translation for this text. It appears to be Korean characters that don’t form a coherent word or phrase, possibly containing a typo or corrupted text.
Cheese Village found itself in an awkward position.
They wanted to offer up food supplies, but had no way to do so.
Unlike Paprika Village, Cheese Village wasn’t unified under a single system, so they couldn’t decide who would contribute how much.
There was no one with decision-making authority.
As the murmuring dragged on, Shrimp grew impatient.
“Fine. Then we’ll just take what we want! We’re taking the biggest warehouse!”
Thwack!
Shrimp pointed at a massive refrigerated warehouse visible at a glance.
“!”
At these words, the eyes of the Agricultural Cooperative members went wide.
‘Insane?’
‘W-what do we do?’
‘We’re finished.’
The largest warehouse in this village was naturally the one used collectively by the entire Agricultural Cooperative.
“Judging by your expressions, that must be the right one. Let’s go! Come on, everyone!”
“W-wait, wait, wait, hold on!”
That was when it happened.
Doughnutz came rushing out.
“Please wait just a moment!”
“…?”
They froze.
The Paprika Village people, who looked ready to charge forward at any moment, stopped.
‘That’s Doughnutz?’
‘Is that Doughnutz?’
‘Whoa.’
Shocked by the appearance of a major economics streamer with millions of subscribers on AllTube.
This wasn’t the type of content they’d normally participate in, yet here she was in Cheese Village.
So the Cheese folks had some money to spend, huh?
“Ahem. Who are you?”
Shrimp asked, though she clearly already knew.
“No, I’m the… the head of this association here. We don’t have a decision-making system in place yet, so… we can’t supply food. If you keep taking from specific people like this, next time you come around, we won’t be able to gather food again.”
“…What?”
“Think about it. There are already people who’ve had things taken from them—how can we reach consensus to gather food again? Those who weren’t robbed will pretend they don’t know anything. Even the old Qing Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty! When they took things from our country, they gave us time—they gave us time! Shouldn’t a nation gather things first before giving anything away!?”
In other words, she was asking for time.
“Ahem. How much time do you need?”
“One week in Serc time.”
“…No. I’ll give you five days.”
“Ah, understood. Five days.”
“I’ll return in five days. By then, we will be even stronger. Don’t entertain any foolish thoughts.”
And one by one, they wrote return scrolls and vanished.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Whoooosh…
“Wow… what, what is this?”
“Are they sorcerers or something?”
Everyone disappeared like that.
But one person remained.
It was Orange.
He glanced around the village for a moment, then pulled a flyer from his inventory.
[WANTED]
Whoosh!
He threw it down and left these words.
“If you see this man, inform us. He is a very dangerous individual.”
Whoosh.
Finally, he too vanished.
“…?”
People approached and examined the flyer.
“What is this?”
“Who is this?”
“Hmm… this…”
Due to the nature of Survival Craft with its simple two-headed graphics, it was hard to recognize at first glance, and since it was a composite sketch, it was even harder to notice.
But those who were with the subject of this sketch would be different.
Those who had just arrived at the plaza in a rush.
Clank, clank…!
Knights covered entirely in armor came rushing over.
“What the hell are those guys!? What kind of safe zone is this!? They caused chaos and then disappeared! Where did they all go?”
Gobong shouted indignantly.
“Ugh! If they’d charged at me, I would’ve just finished them off! Hehehehe!”
Resong chimed in as well.
“They left before our Knight Order could mobilize… Tsk.”
Hongsong-i is now a full-fledged member of the Knight Order.
Pretending to count late ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Gobong lol
Oh right, these guys were here too lol
-Hong Song lol lol lol lol
The Knight Order had just finished eating and rushed out upon hearing the commotion during their brief rest.
Seeing the lava scattered about and the wanted posters, Danbong speaks up.
“Gobong. Those bastards are the ones.”
“Huh?”
Snap.
Danbong shows me the wanted poster.
[WANTED]
Only the members of the Knight Order like Bong-ja Bae could recognize who this montage was.
Hadn’t I heard it from Almond?
“People from another village.”
“Gasp!”
Those bastards who had become fertile soil.
They came all the way to our village seeking revenge.
In reality, they probably don’t even know if their target for revenge is here.
But from their perspective, there was no other way to interpret it.
“Did they come here looking for Almond?”
“What else would it be? They even made wanted posters like this….”
“W-would anyone actually recognize this as Almond?”
“No. Honestly, no one could say for certain.”
Even as Danbong said this, her expression became mysterious.
‘But….’
The voice I heard earlier felt far too familiar.
‘Whose voice was that again.’
It sounded like a voice I’d heard back during my pro gamer days.

* * *
Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the plaza.
Where the Agricultural Cooperative had gathered.
The residents rushed toward Doughnutz.
“Wait, Chairman. What are you thinking? You’re really going to hand it over?”
“Who gets to make that decision? Huh?”
“Hand it over, my foot.”
Doughnutz turned around and spoke to the Agricultural Cooperative.
“Buy up every last piece of iron ore that Jello brought.”
“!”
That was it.
I was planning to devise a different strategy over the next five days.
“This is war.”
-Scary
-Wow
-Nice
-Hahahaha
-Jello’s a legend lol
-The intruder’s helping Jello
The Viewers thought Doughnutz was going to war with the intruders, but that wasn’t necessarily the case.
‘War doesn’t have to be with those bastards.’
Doughnutz, with his years of experience, understood well.
‘The real battle will be over voting rights.’
From now on, whether they liked it or not, a struggle between factions would erupt over the village’s voting rights.
Who would pay more taxes. Who would defend against foreign invasion.
Power would decide that.
[Almond has logged in.]
Just then, Almond, having finished his lunch appointment, returned to Cheese Village.
