Chapter 84 of Season 1 of "The Genius Archer's Streaming"

30. Power Suit Play (1)

The next day.

10 AM.

Three videos were uploaded to Almond's AllTube.

[Battle Royale EP.4 The Stupid Five Brothers]

[Battle Royale EP.5 J──son!]

[Battle Royale EP.6 Yes. Almond put on the power suit.]

The news of the uploads quickly spread across game communities.

Not only in Kingchi, where Almond's main base was, and Bara 31, but also in communities for other games, where it was frequently mentioned.

It couldn't be helped.

Currently, Almond was the only person who had matched the electromagnetic wave record and B, making him a figure of interest for anyone who liked games.

This was all thanks to the success of the "Decomposition Analyzer" live stream.

- The electromagnetic wave record and B?

- Oh, he has AllTube too?

- First reveal. Soon!

- Wow, he just uploaded the videos, didn't he? Hahaha

- Less than a month and already this much? Damn, hahaha

With all these people gathered, the number of first-time viewers for the initial reveal was a staggering 12,000.

While 12,000 views on AllTube might seem insignificant,

having 12,000 people watch the first reveal is a completely different feeling.

It's like people lining up from the moment the store opens.

In particular, the third video, "Yes. Almond put on the power suit," was very popular.

It seemed like it might become another viral hit.

"How... how did he upload them?"

Juhyeok rubbed his eyes and asked.

[First reveal in 10 minutes]

He couldn't believe the words floating in front of him.

They had definitely drunk heavily together yesterday. His head was still pounding, and he couldn't do anything.

And now he was making videos and uploading them?

"Even this was all from yesterday's broadcast?"

All three uploaded videos were edited from yesterday's promotion battle broadcast.

So, they were videos he worked on last night.

"Did I really do this properly?"

At this point, he was worried that he might have messed them up after drinking.

'I need to check.'

The first reveals were scheduled 10 minutes apart.

The first video's first reveal had just started.

[Now first reveal!]

* * *

[Battle Royale EP.4 The Stupid Five Brothers]

The first video is about when Almond met the Stupid Five Brothers.

The video starts with Almond encountering them in the armory.

Whoosh.

A blade flies without warning.

The opening scene is a tense sword fight.

Each time a blade flies, the camera zooms in and out, creating a sense of incredible speed.

Then, Almond spots a sniper on the second floor with a bow.

Almond climbs up by sticking his blade into the wall, like a scene from a thriller movie.

Finally, he reaches the top.

Bang!

He breaks the window and throws a blade at the enemy.

The enemy's shocked expression is shown in close-up as the blade hits.

Thud!

The expression is staged like a comical horror movie, a new style for Seo Ji-a's videos but effective.

- 5:08 The golden goblin kid is legendary.

- 5:09 The shocked expression is hilarious, hahaha

- 5:08 It's like a B-grade horror movie, hahaha

- 5:09 The youngest of the Stupid Five Brothers, damn, hahaha

Many of the best comments mention this part.

However, this scene wasn't the climax of the video yet.

- 12:51 The arrow barrage from here is insane, wow

└ Really, how does he do this?

└ No matter how much I practice, I can't do it, he's crazy.

└ Seriously, is this even possible? Hahaha

The best comment, prominently displayed in the video's comment section, points to this part.

As the video reaches this point, Almond's insane arrow barrage is shown.

Pew pew pew!

The video plays at normal speed, then zooms in on Almond's detailed hand movements in slow motion.

Then, boom!

The music plays, and the video returns to normal speed.

Pew pew pew!

The enemies, the Stupid Five Brothers, fall one by one.

"Wow."

Even Juhyeok, who knew what was coming, couldn't help but gape.

The first video ends here.

The second video, "J──son," is essentially a comedy.

J──son, wearing the power suit, looks like a muscular pervert. Every time he speaks,

[Mom! I want to be Almond when I grow up!!!]

This text appears in large size all over the screen.

This is followed by a scene of Almond running away in shock.

- Hahaha

- Why is Almond so scared, hahaha

- J──son!

- Crazy, hahaha, what a weirdo

- Really terrifying, damn, hahaha

- J──son! This line never actually happens, but it fits so well, hahaha

└ Really, hahaha, there's no part where he says J──son, hahaha

└ Wow, I only realized this after seeing the comment, hahaha, there's no such part.

└ Hahaha, hahaha

Pfft.

Even though he had seen the video before, Juhyeok burst out laughing.

The second video was quite entertaining.

However, the best part would surely be the last one.

[Now first reveal!]

As time passed, Juhyeok cautiously played the video that was currently being revealed.

[Battle Royale EP.6 Yes. Almond put on the power suit.]

* * *

Almond is seen walking through a desolate desert.

It's a barren landscape with no one around.

The area is already filled with toxic gas.

Despite this, Almond walks leisurely.

[The blue zone is shrinking!]

Even though the blue zone is shrinking again in the distance,

"I can handle it. I'll do a bit more farming."

He mutters this. To farm in such toxic gas would normally be crazy.

- Ah, hahaha, with the power suit, you can farm all day!

- Still, be careful from the third shrink.

- Really, he's guaranteed to win with this.

Thanks to the power suit.

The gas mask function of the power suit was still working fine. It would break down after prolonged use, but it could last until the third shrink.

Almond is maximizing this advantage by farming until the very end.

[30 seconds until the blue zone starts shrinking!]

Only when the third blue zone shrink announcement comes does he stop farming.

His bag is filled with numerous medical supplies.

"Now, it's time to sweep them up."

Smirk.

A confident smile forms on his lips.

- Go!

- Let's go!

- Kill them all!

- Woo!

- Yo-ho!

- Oh, yeah!

"Let's go!"

Clang!

He kicks off, and his body, light as a feather, shoots forward.

Whoosh!

The wind sound, usually heard when riding a motorcycle, hits his ears.

- Wow, hahaha

- Try first-person view, it's amazing

- Hahaha

- I want to wear the power suit too, sniff

- It feels like a different game now

- When running like a ninja, it feels like a first-person ninja game, hahaha

- Running like a ninja, hahaha

Clang! Clang!

He runs, drinks an energy drink, and repeats this.

When he gets used to the speed,

Through the rough sand dust that obscures his vision,

"Blue zone!"

The shape of the blue zone is visible.

A transparent blue dome encircles an area.

Inside, there are still...

[47/100]

47 survivors.

Swoosh.

Almond preloads all his arrows into his right hand.

Zap!

Static electricity crackles as he enters the blue zone.

Boom!

As soon as he enters, gunshots ring out from all directions.

Clearly, this is an area with survivors.

'Are they fighting?'

Almond runs towards the gunfire.

"There."

He mutters and pulls back his bow.

- Huh? It's too far.

- You need an 8x scope to shoot that far, right?

- You're going to shoot that?

- Wow

- Is it possible with a recurve bow?!

A recurve bow, depending on the strength, can fly much farther than a compound bow.

Squeak!

Almond uses the superhuman strength of the power suit to pull the bowstring as far as he can.

His abdomen and waist tense up, and the blue light from the suit glows.

Pew!

A loud sound comes from the bow.

Whoosh!

An unusual whistling sound follows.

The arrow flies in a faint parabola—

- Wow!

- Damn!

- Wow!

- Oh!

- Did you see that?!

Thud!

It hits the faintly visible head.

The opponent doesn't seem to have a helmet yet.

[Almond → ChickenBreast]

[Eliminated!]

[46/100]

The kill log is updated.

* * *

"Huh!?"

Another player, who was shooting, notices Almond's presence.

"Power suit...!?"

It was clearly visible from a distance that Almond was wearing a power suit.

He immediately tries to run. Normally, he would have fled.

But the weapon is a bow.

'Maybe... I can handle this?'

If he kills Almond, he can get the power suit. If the weapon was a hero-grade or higher, he would have fled, but the bow is manageable.

If he can take him down, he wins.

He aims his gun at Almond.

At this distance, the gun is overwhelmingly advantageous.

Click.

As the sight slowly aims at Almond's blue figure,

Whoosh!

He disappears.

"?"

But the trigger is already pulled.

Bang!

'Oh no.'

Sss!

A snake-like sound is heard.

'Where is he?'

From a completely different angle. As he turns his head,

He sees the arrow tip already flying right in front of him.

Thud!

The bulletproof helmet is pierced.

"Ugh!"

His neck snaps back from the impact.

'What kind of bow is this?'

He tries to get up like a spring and move his gun. Or rather, he tries to.

'One more?'

As soon as he barely lifts his head, he sees another arrow tip.

Unless they shot together, it's impossible for it to fly like this.

Thud!

The bulletproof helmet is pierced again.

His neck snaps back again.

"Ugh..."

It's a hero-grade helmet.

It holds up to this point.

Thud!

But there's one more arrow.

"Damn!"

With this last word, he leaves his name in the kill log.

[Almond → FarmerNeedsRice]

[Eliminated!]

[45/100]

It was a triple shot.

Three arrows flew in succession, all hitting the head accurately.

He didn't even have time to regain his senses after the first hit.

And from a distance where the opponent was barely visible.

- Are you crazy, Almond!! Are you crazy, Almond!! Are you crazy, Almond!! Are you crazy, Almond!!

- Holy moly!

- How did all three hit?!

- You cheated! Almond! This is a bug! You cheated! Almond! This is a bug! You cheated! Almond! This is a bug! You cheated! Almond! This is a bug!

- That's insane

- That's insane. Take responsibility!

[What... What do I do now?]

[UnderwearFactory donated 5,000 won.]

[I need to make more panties!]

[IKnewThisWouldHappen donated 20,000 won!]

[I saw it in the bathroom, what a deal]

"Thank you for the donations. The power suit is better than I thought."

Such a rapid succession of shots is usually difficult. Without the power suit, which requires maximum strength even at the fingertips, it would be impossible.

'This is really good in many ways.'

Compared to firearms, which are less dependent on physical attributes, the power suit seems to excel when using a bow.

[The blue zone is shrinking!]

Another announcement comes.

Almond checks the new position of the blue zone.

'Square?'

It's moving towards the square. As always, the blue zone moves to a distant location. But with the power suit, the distance is no handicap.

Rather, Almond instinctively feels that the "square" could be the final stage of this match.

'I won.'

This match is a win.

[WillYouTry donated 20,000 won!]

[Mission) 20 kills from now]

At this moment, a mission appears.

[20 kills from now]

[200,000 won]

With 45 players left, 20 kills from now.

It's a request to eliminate half of them.

An impossible request, no doubt.

- Just do it now, hahaha

- Wow, another 200,000 won donation!

- Hahaha, you're throwing money away!

- You're going to do it anyway, what's the point of the mission? Hahaha

- ??? : Wow! Thank you for 200,000 won!

- Scared to take the per-kill
