The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 122
39. The War of Public Opinion (2)
Orange?
Almond’s ears doubted what they’d just heard.
Even if he’d personally ventured into that village, there’s no way he could have entertained such an insane notion—that it was a place where Paprika Streamers had been gathered.
“So you’re finally starting to catch on?”
Department Manager Jang, the very architect of that insane idea, chuckles while watching the monitor.
“Right. Since I have some professional experience, I figured it out faster than expected.”
Park O-hun adds with a question.
“How should we handle this?”
“Well, even if they know it’s Paprika Village, does it really change anything? Right now, the conflict with the Agricultural Cooperative is more pressing anyway.”
“That’s true.”
The collision between Paprika and Cheese.
This is the main scenario of this production.
Of course, that’s the production team’s perspective, and how it actually unfolds depends entirely on the Streamers’ choices.
“It all depends on what the Cheese Streamers decide to do.”
The Paprika side maintains close cooperation with the production team without even turning on their broadcasts, but Cheese is completely different.
This place offers almost complete freedom—like a social experiment.
What choices they make is something the production team and no one else can control.
But then Almond says something the production team never imagined.
For reasons they couldn’t possibly predict.
[Let’s raid them.]
He’s saying they should raid them.
“…Excuse me?”
This wasn’t Bongbong’s response.
Park O-hun had accidentally answered instead.
“R-raid them? All of a sudden?”
“Huh?”
He couldn’t make sense of the context.
Jello was the one who set up the bombs, and the Agricultural Cooperative is the one causing the current conflict.
So why would they raid Paprika Village?
“Could it be that Cheese Village demanded crops and his sense of justice was triggered?”
Sense of justice?
Department Manager Jang stares blankly at Park O-hun.
“That can’t be it….”
There’s no way someone who turns people into fertilizer would act out of a sense of justice.
At least, the two-headed Almond created in Cheese Village didn’t seem like the type.
Then what was it?
Why would he raid them?

* * *
The Bongbongs blinked their eyes.
“…What?”
“They’re, they’re attacking!?”
Gobong literally jumped to his feet.
“You all heard what we just said, right? They’re shooting lava!?”
Danbong chimed in as well.
“I saw it with my own two eyes, clear as day! The lava was bubbling and sizzling! And suddenly it melted Balloon Gum right away!!”
Hahahahahaha
It suddenly melts though lol
Damn, bubble gum lol
Crazy presence lolol
“W-we don’t know what kind of resistance Balloon Gum put up, but just like how they used to kill independence fighters during the Japanese occupation!! They killed him that brutally, that’s what I’m saying!”
“Exactly! We don’t know what kind of resistance he made at all~~~! But I saw with my own eyes how they made an example of him and killed him!!”
Hahahahahaha
Go-bong seems to know something lol
Hahahaha
-Info) He mistepped and fell into the lava
I accidentally stepped wrong and suddenly became an independence fighter lol
Is this broadcasting talent? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
These were the same Bongbongs who had just spoken in the plaza as if they would have defeated everyone if we’d come.
Yet they were stubbornly opposed to attacking the village.
It seemed they actually believed deep down that they were no match.
Danbong especially held this conviction firmly.
“I’ve done some Cirque work, so I know that lava renders even iron armor meaningless. We know Almond turned those thugs into fertilizer before… but these aren’t the same thugs from back then. While we were just farming, those thugs must have pulled some trick.”
He was reading the game situation with perfect accuracy.
As expected from a former pro with an exceptional eye for the game.
“Is that so? We’re at a disadvantage then.”
Almond nodded his head, surprisingly accepting it easily.
“Yes… we’re quite disadvantaged. Right now the Agricultural Cooperative is acting like they want to wage war. I think it makes sense for us to leave this to them and focus on farming.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, that’s my suggestion. The food supplies they’re demanding are really nothing compared to Cheese Village’s production capacity. Especially our Knight order has absurd crop yields based on fertile soil. There shouldn’t be any problem at all.”
-Wow
That position is crazy.
-True former pro
That’s crazy lol
Almond nods his head.
Was he convinced by Danbong’s perfect proposal?
“But, if not iron armor…?”
“What?”
“Not iron armor—something better than that. Won’t it dissolve in lava?”
“…?”
Hahahahahaha lol hahahaha
“Did you hear about that from before? lol”
-Here we go again
-The devil’s advocate…
Insane.
This guy still intends to push forward.
What’s the reason, exactly?
Sometimes when I make these kinds of judgments, I can grasp the reasoning to some degree.
This time, I have no idea.
‘Because I didn’t know Orange would be here.’
The fact that Bongbong and the others didn’t understand the reason was their situation, but for Almond, there was a clear motive.
‘That’s the guy Juhyeok mentioned.’
A streamer who Almond alone believed harbored malice toward him.
Even on the eve of the platform tournament, Almond wanted to show that guy something.
“Ha… Well, after iron armor, obsidian is somewhat better, and adamantite would be worth trying.”
Danbong tells me about the ore levels of Cirque that he knows.
“Even so, there’s no ore that’s completely invulnerable to lava. Generally speaking, anyway. What matters is what hidden elements the server maker added on top of this.”
Officially, it means adamantite is the strongest.
“Where and how do you mine that?”
“It’s difficult to mine unless you’re a miner.”
“Hmm.”
Almond thinks for a moment.
How can I prepare for this war?
But he reaches a very simple conclusion.
I have Bongbong and the others, and Songsong and the others.
Why should I be the one thinking?
“Danbong. Proceed.”
“…Huh?”
“We arm ourselves with at least obsidian and increase the number of knights, then enter that village.”
“…Us, us?”
How exactly?
“Proceed.”
“But, but how do we even—”
“Proceed.”
Are you a bot? lol
Hahahahahaha
Lee Kyung-young AI bot lol
I can’t translate this – it appears to be random Korean characters/consonants without meaningful words or context.
-Lmaooo, he’s already plugged in the external Hodu
-You… become my Hodu!
“Ah… understood. I’ll draft up a plan.”
Danbong took it upon himself to become the strategist for this operation.
“Good. Then Danbong, you’ll handle the ‘War Department’ for now. Gobong and I will take care of the security business.”
-War Department lmao
-That department name sounds brutal
-War Department Manager Danbong lmaooo
Still, working at a large corporation wasn’t a waste of time.
Almond efficiently deployed personnel.
That’s when Gobong interjected.
“Oh, perfect timing! We’ve got a massive pile of interview DMs! Shouldn’t we supplement our workforce!?”
“Ah, right. Gobong, you’ll take on the role of Human Resources Manager.”
“Gasp… M, Manager…! Understood!”
Danbong protested at this.
“Wait, hold on, Almond? I’m a Manager too, but he’s also a Manager?”
“Hmm… Danbong is a Department Manager. War Department Manager. He’s just a regular Manager.”
“Ah…!”
-?lmaooooo
-Seems like he just made that up lol
-Department Manager lmaooo
-The word ‘Department’ hits different
-Corporate naming sense on point lol
-Thought he said Bong Manager lmao
“Thank you!”
Whether it was Department Manager or Bong Manager.
Danbong seemed satisfied with that.
“I’ll report to you as Human Resources Manager. Here are the DMs.”
Whoosh.
Gobong unfurled the scroll he’d written himself.
-Wow
-Analog vibes lol
-What is this, the Joseon era lmaooo
-So DM stands for Duru-Mari
-Scroll mail lmao
“Let me take a look. If you’re preparing for war, it’s best to recruit only skilled individuals.”
“Mm.”
Almond quickly scanned the scroll.
Certainly, many people had applied. Some were unfamiliar faces.
But those who weren’t necessary for preparing for war were clearly visible.
Gobong was quick to point it out.
“This person is cut… right?”
[Balloon Gum]
It was Balloon Gum.
No, haha
Why bubble gum lol
Gum-shaped ㅠㅠㅠ
Wow, Gobong has a good eye ㅋㅋ
-Sandbag cut!
Almond’s eyes grew contemplative.
“Well, this place is a bit… ahem, I have a connection with this CEO… .”
Almond seemed reluctant to explain and simply gestured vaguely while clearing his throat.
Hahaha, method acting
Implementing executive speech patterns is crazy.
-Did Almond do an executive impression at the company dinner or not?
Hahahaha, that’s hilarious!
Gobong nodded as if he understood.
“Ah, yes, yes! Of course we’ll have him come for the interview. However… .”
Zzzt.
Balloon Gum’s name was marked with a yellow check beside it. It didn’t seem to be a good sign.
-?
-??
Haha, branded/stigmatized
Why are you shaking it off?ㅋㅋㅋ
That’s creepy lol
Gobong had properly understood the meaning—an acquaintance, but lacking in skill.
“What about the next one?”
“The next one is… .”
And so the Knight Order’s first round of document screening began, and the sun over Cheese Village started to set.

* * *
Meanwhile, Jello, who had sold all the iron ore to the Agricultural Cooperative.
“Ahahaha! We’re becoming rich, aren’t we!?”
He was brimming with dreams.
“That’s right! Normally it would be double, but I’m sorry….”
Chocosong kept mentioning the troll from earlier, still feeling apologetic.
“No way! What good is double if we don’t have this pipeline? Without it, it’s all just worthless paper. Now that we have a buyer, we just need to keep mining!”
-Real talk
-Breaking through with a buyer is huge
Now let’s really become rich ㅠㅠ
-The Agricultural Cooperative has more financial power than expected
It was just difficult to negotiate once, but the Agricultural Cooperative turned out to be a surprisingly decent buyer.
With their large numbers came strong capital and stability, and they needed that much iron ore accordingly.
“We made the right choice coming here instead of the Knights. Honestly, looking at their iron armor sets, they wouldn’t even need iron ore.”
“Right. I’m glad we came here after seeing that. I didn’t expect they’d need this much.”
Zelkosong hadn’t completely decided on the Agricultural Cooperative from the start either.
She thought she could sell to the Knights if necessary.
But after raiding Almond’s warehouse, her thinking changed completely.
They didn’t need iron ore at all.
“So we just need to go straight to the mine, right?”
“Ah, of course!”
“Jel~~lo, I love it!”
Chocosong bounces excitedly.
“J-jel~~lo, I love it~!”
-Jello is his catchphrase but why does it sound so awkward lolol
-Get married right now!
Cho-song is so cute ㅠㅠㅠ
-Zelkosong forever
-Lololol
-Jelloshek lol
They headed straight for the mine.
But there they encounter familiar faces again.
“…!”
“Huh?”
A group of humans coming down from the mine with pickaxes in hand.
Zelkosong comes face to face with them directly.
“You, you are!”
Paprika Village also recognizes Zelkosong and freezes.
Then a brilliant thought flashes through Jello’s mind.
‘Wait, we only make money if these people invade, right?’
It was the moment I realized who their true customers were and who their real partners truly were.
“Wait, please! Before you draw your swords, would you hear me out?”
