The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 4 Episode 127
41. Balloon Daily News (1)
“Gasp… F-Fire!?”
Suddenly, flames erupted from all directions.
For Mosol, standing at the very center of that inferno—the eye of the storm—it must have been utterly terrifying.
“What is this!? There are monsters that breathe fire?”
-Chills
-What do we do
-Doesn’t look like he can escape??
I’m crying / Sob sob sob
I became a slash-and-burn farmer lol
Mosol never suspected for a moment that the villagers themselves had set this fire, nor that this was a meticulously designed inferno maze.
He ran back and forth, desperately searching for an exit.
Meanwhile, his fields were gradually consumed by the raging flames.
“Krraaahhh…!”
The monsters too were engulfed in fire and perished.
The silver lining was that the monsters were being automatically eliminated.
The downside was that Mosol’s name seemed destined to appear on that list of the eliminated.
“H-Hey… If the house burns down, all the items disappear, right!?”
-ed
Even if the house is collapsing, do you think items will be left behind? lol
-Locked boxes remain
-Put them in the box
“A box? A box?”
Having heard that locked boxes were fireproof, Mosol sprang into action.
He frantically shoved his items into the locked box.
After securing his valuables in the locked box, Mosol realized something.
“I think I have to run through the fire at least once to get out of here anyway, right?”
Whoosh!
He charged straight into the flames.
“Let’s goooooo!”
hahahaha
I’m crying / I’m so sad
I can’t translate “-으ㅠ” as it’s not a standard Korean word or grammatical form. It appears to be either a typo, an incomplete character combination, or informal/non-standard text. Could you provide more context or clarify what you’re trying to translate?
-Just watching it feels hot
Whoosh!
The flames caught onto his body.
But the damage wasn’t severe yet.
‘Where’s the exit? Where is it…’
The fire grew fiercer, and the paths to escape dwindled further.
“Damn it… where, where am I going…?”
No matter how high-ranked a Challenger-class Player was, no matter how sharp the reflexes of a vigorous young man.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!”
Hahahaha
That’s hilarious lol
Did you manage to pull out at least one segment for the solo broadcast? lol
-This is it
The end was exactly the same as the Agricultural Cooperative incident.
[Mosol has turned to ash.]
Charging mindlessly in any direction, only to end up as ash.
Text appeared in Mosol’s now grayscale vision.
[Respawn in 29 seconds]
‘Sigh… damn it.’
hahahahahahaha
Hahahahahahaha
What’s up with the end lol
That’s hilarious lolololol
-Yeah… that’s fine… as long as it was funny…
‘At least I protected the item, so I’ll just do better next time.’
Mosol was satisfied with having protected the item.
But if he had been just a little more observant, he might have noticed.
Or if he had been more experienced, he might have known.
That the black mark left beneath his corpse was not merely soot.
Crackle…!
And so Mosol’s corpse burned away.
The soil turned black.
Thunk…!
Someone’s shovel was thrust into that soil.
They shouted half-heartedly like this…
“Fire! Fire! Fire!”
“Fire~!!”
Thwack! Thwack!
They focused entirely on shoveling.
Hahahahahaha
It seems like Buliaya did exactly as Shimbat did haha
That’s a jackpot with -ㅋㅋ
-What is all this
The strategy is insane lol
How were they digging when the fire was still burning fiercely?
The strategy was simple.
Gobong had already filled his inventory with water blocks.
In this game, any substance could be converted into blocks and stored, and water was no exception.
“Fire!”
Splash!
As he sprayed water where the corpse had been, steam rising up, Danbong and Almond would quickly rush in and dig it up.
Their speed and organization were astounding.
Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud!
Look at that digging speed lol
Physical is insane.
-Wow
-Almond super play!!!
Digging mad movie lolololol
Danbong, a former pro gamer, and Almond, a national tournament champion.
Their superior in-game physical abilities were now being put to use digging up the ground.
It was no wonder they could rush to wherever the flames died down and excavate in an instant.
“Again! Where else?”
Danbong checked the time and asked urgently.
There couldn’t be any fertile soil left on Mosol’s land.
I couldn’t make the same mistake I made with Hong-cha.
“Just a moment! H-here it is!”
Gobong found every monster and human corpse without exception and poured water on them, and above that, Almond and Danbong’s shovels came crashing down.
“Huff! Huff!”
“F-faster!”
“Hrah!”
-Almond working harder than in the national tournament?
Almond is working really hard lol
“Is it your calling or something? lol”
Why are you being so serious lol
The sight of Almond digging with fire in his eyes was almost terrifying.
And for good reason—he was truly concentrating at an unprecedented level.
‘No time. There’s no time.’
Thirty seconds since Mosol died and was eliminated.
I had to sweep up all the fertile soil generated on Mosol’s land within this time.
The fortunate thing was that Mosol’s field wasn’t as large as Hong-cha’s.
However, the flames and steam severely limited visibility, and even a small mistake could drain Almond’s stamina.
[Exhaustion – 83%]
[Dehydration – 70%]
[Respiratory Distress – 12%]
High humidity, combined with heat from the fire.
True to a survival game, these elements were thoroughly reflected in the player’s condition.
Digging was becoming increasingly exhausting, and my stamina was gradually depleting.
‘Is this really such grueling work?’
Since I hadn’t anticipated even this, I forced my drooping eyes open wider and continued shoveling with renewed determination.
I had reached a state of complete absorption, seeing only the water Gobong was sprinkling, swinging my shovel in a trance-like rhythm. I couldn’t even pay attention to where I was or how deep I’d dug.
Whenever fertile soil appeared before me, I simply scooped it up with my shovel.
I wasn’t the only one who had entered this state of absorption.
Gobong, who continued to locate fertile soil by piercing through the hazy screen, was the same.
He had far more at stake.
‘If… I just mine this…!’
It was his escape from his bound life as Gobong.
A life as a landowner Gobong awaited him ahead.
‘Huh, another Gobong?’
The flow seemed strange somehow, but regardless, I thought I had to gather as much as possible, so I located more fertile soil and pulled a water block from my inventory, tossing it down.
Ssssshhhhh!
Steam rose into the air.

* * *
Meanwhile, Hong-cha and Lemon.
Following my orders, the two of them were keeping watch around the area for any approaching figures.
“Hmm… nobody’s really coming… huh?”
Despite such a massive fire breaking out, not a single villager had appeared.
Probably because there were monsters here, they were avoiding the area to prevent any damage.
Remarkably, there was one person approaching this place.
[Balloon Gum]
It was Balloon Gum.
Clack.
Hong-cha drew his sword threateningly and spoke.
“You can’t go in here.”
“…Huh? Why not?”
Balloon Gum rose onto his tiptoes, trying to look around.
“Careful. Your head might roll off.”
“Ah, no, that’s pretty brutal! Why can’t I? I trade with this place all the time!”
That was true.
Balloon Gum was the Herbalist who dealt with Mosol.
Actually, he was more of a Journalist than an Herbalist.
He had come here as a Journalist this time.
Mosol was just an excuse.
“You’re with the Knight Order. Are you controlling the press? Is the Knight Order doing this now? Huh!?”
“…?”
What? Haha!
What kind of journalist would be in such a tiny town? lol
Hahahahaha, Balloon Daily News is crazy.
“…That’s me! I’ve done everything with your Knight Leader! Eaten meals! Competed in tournaments! Even streamed together! Everything! Got it?!”
Hahahahahahaha
-For real
hahahahaha
The team leader’s connections are amazing.
Hongsong-i’s expression grew uncertain.
Most streamers knew that Almond and Balloon Gum had a special relationship.
“What are you doing?”
“Well, with such a massive fire breaking out, wouldn’t I feel a sense of duty as a journalist to capture it in photos?”
“Where’s your camera? In a place where we barely have brick houses.”
“There’s a screenshot function. Screenshot.”
Click.
Balloon Gum makes a square with his hands and takes a screenshot.
Hongsong-i turns her face away and waves her hand dismissively.
“Ah, don’t take pictures. Are you really a journalist?”
“Of course.”
“When were you doing that while searching for Owl Black?”
“That’s when I discovered my talent. My gift was running around and talking. So now I’m trying to start a news outlet.”
Hahahahahaha
Hahahahaha
You’re so confident lol
Just send it to me ㅠㅠ ㅋㅋ
That’s right.
Those years spent searching for Owl Black in vain.
Balloon Gum had discovered his new talent.
Traveling around spreading all sorts of news.
And now he was trying to become the first journalist.
‘There shouldn’t be any real problem.’
Hongsong-i didn’t know what Almond and Bongbong were up to, and with Balloon Gum saying this much, she had no choice.
“Go ahead. If you publish false articles, you’re dead.”
“…Ah, come on! I know! I know! You don’t need to scare me!”
Military dictatorship, so scary.
Hahaha, like it’s so obvious lol
-Hongsong-i’s intense
And so Balloon Gum approached the burning fields of Mosol.
‘Wow. This is really chaos.’
The sight was far more devastating than expected.
“Wow. How did a fire get this big?”
The Labyrinth of Fire.
Could Balloon Gum, who mindlessly walked across lava and died by his own feet, possibly navigate through this?
Someone might have harbored such doubts, but his viewers were not among them.
Thump, thump.
Balloon Gum, entering without a single thought, glided through the maze with such ease it seemed like sorcery.
-Ohhh…
-What?
-Is someone there?
That’s when he could see it.
“Fire~!”
Gobong, shouting “Fire!” in a half-hearted manner while tossing water blocks, followed by two other Knights from the Order.
Their figures, sweating profusely as they continued extinguishing flames and pressing forward, resembled firefighters rushing into danger.
“…Oh!”
Thinking he’d captured something worth framing, he made a rectangle with his fingers to show the shot.
Click.

* * *
The next morning.
[The Village’s “Great Fire”—Only the Knight Order Rushed Into Those Flames.]
The newspaper was printed with this headline.
In the photograph, three men in silver armor charged into the inferno, spraying water.
