Chapter 15 of "The Genius Archer's Streaming Season 1"

6. Perfect Shot (3)

Kingdom Age allowed duo play.

However, there wasn't much of a significant advantage to duo play.

In fact, many people complained that the difficulty increased, making it inconvenient.

Thus, duo play was purely for fun.

It was designed to fulfill the romantic notion of working together to take down enemies as mercenaries.

It was said that when the DLC came out, a 5-person team play mercenary group would also be available, which was quite an anticipated feature.

"Alright, I've entered to match Almond's progress. So, I'm here to help."

- They call it a bus passenger, but not even that.

- Haha, not a bus passenger, but a self-harm extortion insurance fraudster.

- Haha, a self-harm extortion gang.

- Extortion jelly.

Dotorimuk, a skilled comprehensive game streamer, couldn't even be treated as a passenger in front of Almond.

Most of the viewers had come after watching the joint broadcast 'teaser video' released by Dotorimuk.

That video was essentially a mad movie featuring Almond.

- I came to watch the video, and it was really impressive.

- I can't believe it's a real person.

- That's not optimized. Damn.

- The only one who seems like they can really succeed in the bow challenge.

Dotorimuk had quit the bow challenge after three episodes, so everyone couldn't help but treat him as a passenger.

"Hey, I'm not going to use a bow and will tank from the front. Damn it."

After mumbling for a moment, Dotorimuk began to explain briefly to Almond.

"Mr. Almond, I'll tell you the conditions for a Perfect Shot."

"Okay."

Dotorimuk pointed to the center of his forehead.

"This damn game has a scoring system for the same vital points, like an archery target. If the vital point judgment is circular, there are smaller circles within it."

- Here we go again.

- The legendary start.

- Haha, how many times have we heard this?

- Oh.

The chat window erupted with backlash, but he ignored it and continued his explanation.

"So, the first condition is to hit the exact center."

"Understood."

"From here, it gets hellish. But there's one more thing. This judgment only appears on the first try."

"Oh, I see."

Dotorimuk explained it like a terrifying horror movie, but Almond remained calm.

- Oh, yes.

- Oh, really?

- Oh... yes.

- Haha.

- ??? : Is that difficult?

The chat messages mocked Dotorimuk's embarrassed face.

'He always achieves Perfect Shots. These conditions shouldn't surprise him.'

This was the reaction Dotorimuk had expected and wanted.

'If he does well, a really good character will come out.'

He believed there was a character synergy in Almond's attitude, tone, and abilities.

Someone who could achieve great success if given the spotlight.

'Is that why he already has such a manager?'

He thought of Kim Joo-hyuk, a manager with an incredible track record.

Thud.

At that moment, someone hit the back of his head.

"Newbie, stop daydreaming."

It was the platoon leader, Roman.

Ah, the game had started.

- Haha.

- Roman on.

- Haha.

- Wow! Streaming!

Roman's fierce eyes made Dotorimuk's heart chill.

"Don't just stand there staring."

"Ah, I understand."

Thump.

He hit Dotorimuk on the shoulder again and stood in front of the other soldiers.

"I'll explain today's mission."

After successfully eliminating the bandits, Almond had moved on to another mission.

"Lady Emilia has given us another task because our previous operation was successful."

The plot development was that Emilia, who had been protected, had given them another mission.

"There's a rumor that a goblin den has been discovered in this area, causing the farmers to suffer."

Now, it was a battle against monsters, not humans.

"We will find it and eliminate all of them. It's a good deed. Work hard and show results. Like Almond over there. Got it?"

"Yes!"

A cut scene showed the carriage moving, and Dotorimuk marveled.

"Wow, Roman, isn't that kid going too far?"

He was impressed.

- Almond is praising, but Dotorimuk is getting a shoulder pat. Haha.

- The difference in attitude is huge. Haha.

- Haha.

- So funny. Haha.

The carriage arrived at the goblin den. It was evening.

Some mercenaries held torches to light the way, and Roman led from the front.

"Move in quietly."

Swoosh.

Following Roman's orders, the elite soldiers crouched down.

Naturally, Dotorimuk and Almond were included.

"Let's go~!"

Dotorimuk moved forward while delivering a broadcast line, but.

Thud!

He was hit by Roman again.

"Quietly."

"Sorry."

"Don't even answer. Before I split you in half."

"..."

- Haha.

- Ahaha.

- I'm going crazy. He's a broadcasting genius, after all. Haha.

- Roman seems like a broadcasting genius too. Haha.

Roman, now a broadcasting genius, pointed at Almond and whispered.

"Almond, take the lead and show this new guy what a surprise attack is."

Almond nodded and moved to the front.

He crawled to the entrance of the goblin den without making a sound.

'Movement is much easier.'

Almond could clearly feel the improved game environment due to optimization.

The slight discomfort he felt when moving before had disappeared.

He felt he couldn't go back to the pre-optimized version.

'They're goblins.'

A few goblins on guard were spotted.

Creak...

He crouched as low as possible and drew his bow.

Although it was a new stance, the arrow settled perfectly in the middle of his lips, and the hold was flawless.

As his steady right hand released the bowstring,

Whoosh!

A goblin fell with the sound of the arrow splitting the air.

- Wow!

- Incredible...

- Amazing.

- His shooting is on a different level.

There was a significant difference between watching a video and live streaming.

Moreover, Dotorimuk was watching the scene right next to him.

"..."

He let out a gasp.

Fortunately, Roman didn't notice this time.

'He's not kidding.'

Dotorimuk, with his keen eyes, could tell.

'He's even more advanced.'

Sanghyun's shooting was much lighter than before.

He was curious how this was possible, but it was definitely lighter.

'Even the sound of the bowstring is adjusted for the surprise attack.'

Almond, who used to always draw the bow fully, was now optimized for a hunting bow.

Whoosh...

Whizz...

He shot with just the right amount of force, without making a loud noise.

Whoosh!

With each whistling sound, a goblin fell, and eventually, all the guards were eliminated.

"Excellent, Almond."

"Wow..."

"That's Almond senior..."

Not only Roman, but the other mercenaries also looked at Almond with admiration.

Dotorimuk couldn't help but clap.

"Guys, did you see that? He's insane. That's a Perfect Shot. It's different from just a one-shot kill."

The first stage, which should have been cleared by the entire mercenary group working together, was cleared by Almond alone.

- Is this how it's supposed to go?

- No, it's a bloodbath. Haha.

- His sniping is also amazing.

- But I'm not sure if it's a Perfect Shot. Haha.

- It's just a headshot.

"Start a fire and send smoke inside."

Now, the mercenaries began to create smoke at the entrance of the cave, blocking it with branches.

The acrid smoke filled the cave, suffocating everyone inside.

If there were only ordinary goblins inside, they would panic, bump into each other, and be wiped out.

However, if there was a boss leading them, it would be different.

"Kiaaaah!"

A blood-red light emerged from the smoke.

A goblin as large as an orc, wearing a mask and wielding twin blue swords, appeared.

"Kiaaaah!"

"A mutant...?!"

Even Roman was surprised by the massive goblin.

The goblin pointed
