Chapter 91 of Genius Archer's Streaming Season 1

32. The Qualities of a Star (1)

Almond, who hit a six-shot curve with great composure.

- No, this guy doesn't let his guard down!?

- Relax a bit! Almond!

- Take it easy! Almond!

- lol, he doesn't know how to do things half-heartedly.

- If I shot an arrow like that, I'd be cheering and celebrating my play, then probably mess up lol.

Letting his guard down.

Isn't that the farthest emotion from someone like Yoo Sanghyun?

Every time he shoots an arrow, he experiences heaven and hell.

His ability to maintain a calm mind in crucial moments is almost world-class.

Not getting overly excited or upset is a habit deeply ingrained in his life.

That's why, even after an incredible super play, Almond immediately thought about the next enemy.

'There's a loud noise, so they'll definitely come.'

The location of the Blue Zone, the loud noise just now, and the location of the airdrop.

There are countless reasons for people to gather here. At the very least, they'd want to see what's happening.

The moment they stick their necks out is when Almond starts his hunt.

Rustle. Rustle.

Amid the sound of the wind rustling through the bushes...

Thud. Thud.

The sound of footsteps can be heard.

With his particularly sensitive senses, Almond could feel it.

'One person.'

One person is approaching.

He slightly pushes aside the bushes and looks around with wide eyes.

'There he is.'

Someone is on the right, raising a gun from behind a tree.

It seemed they were aiming at Almond. Did they spot him despite the ghillie suit? How? Did they see the fight just now?

There was no time to think.

Whish.

Almond lightly rolled his body and shot an arrow.

It felt like he was playing catch with a child, a light and gentle shot.

Whoosh!

But the feeling of it flying was anything but.

Thud!

The sound of the arrow hitting and the gunshot were simultaneous.

Shrapnel flew to the spot where Almond was just a moment ago.

After that, the opponent fell.

Thud.

- Wow!

- Can't even see the speed of his shots ㄷㄷ

- He's gotten even faster.

- No, was there even someone there?

- ㄷㄷ

- How did he see that?

- How did that guy see Almond? No wonder his Diamond rating is different ㅅㅂ

- A feast of monsters.

Almond put his finger to his lips to shush the viewers who couldn't hear him.

"There's another one."

Another set of footsteps.

This time from the left.

Boom!

This time, the enemy shot at Almond first. His position had been revealed again by the previous battle.

Almond flew and shot his bow. In the past, there might have been a slight stiffness, but now, flying and shooting were almost one motion.

Was that why?

Even while moving violently, the arrow still hit.

Thud!

It shattered the enemy's helmet.

"Ugh?!"

While the enemy's body trembled from the shock,

Two more arrows flew in quick succession.

Thud! Thud!

Both hit the enemy's head.

Three arrows shot while diving to the side.

He managed to shoot three times in that short airborne time.

- No, what is this? Is this an action game?

- lolololol

- Now it really seems faster than a gun.

- Mr. Teacher, the game is broken!

- No, Manager! Do a battle royale, not a reel!

- lolololol, what is this...?

- Is this a martial arts novel? lololol

- Isn't this like the old Guns Online or something?!

More enemies kept appearing from the left and behind,

Bang! Bang!

But they were all slaughtered by Almond, who rolled around freely and shot arrows.

[Almond → Doritos]

[Eliminated!]

[1/100]

In the end, the last enemy died in a ridiculous manner.

The game ended in a relatively short time.

The word Almond liked the most appeared.

[1st Place]

He completed the mission with plenty of gold.

['1,000 won per kill' mission completed!]

['10,000 won per kill' mission completed!]

[27 kills achieved!]

Trivi's system automatically interpreted and calculated the mission content.

[2,970,000 won awarded]

He had 30 people left when he started, and 27 of them died by Almond's hand.

As a result, almost 3 million won was awarded.

- Hooooo ㅠㅠ

In the chat, 'Shy Lü Bu' who had placed the bet was crying.

- Shy Lü Bu ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- Don't cry

- Hey, Shy Lü Bu, don't cry.

- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It was fun, right!?

- Bad guys ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

* * *

They say that if the first button is well fastened, the rest will follow easily.

Almond was in top condition and continued his winning streak.

A winning streak means placing in the top 10.

Two of them were 1st place, and one was 10th place, where he was unfortunately killed by a sniper.

That was the last game he played.

"A. Snipers are hard to deal with."

He muttered with a hint of disappointment as he came out of the last game.

Although he was disappointed, the news waiting for him was good.

[Diamond Rank Promotion Match has started!]

His points were already full, allowing him to challenge the promotion match.

"Oh. Even with a 10th place, I got a promotion match. This is actually better, right?"

- lolololol, it's actually better

- ㄹㅇ lol, a great deal

- But the 10th place game was a shame lol

- Snipers are just too good

- ㄹㅇ got sniped. Who was it?

- There are so many good players ㄹㅇ

- Is this the top tier of Platinum...?

- A well-geared sniper is hard to deal with

Although he was killed by a well-geared sniper, Almond didn't mind.

This game is one where even world-ranked players can end up last if they have bad luck.

'Just need to be 1st when it matters.'

Just need to be 1st when it matters.

Like during a promotion match.

The promotion match consists of five games.

If you get 1st place, it ends in at least two games.

'Slowly, again...'

After a brief chat with the viewers, he was about to queue up again when

[Juhyuk: Haven't you eaten yet?]

A message from Juhyuk arrived.

'...Food?'

Sanghyun finally checked the time at the bottom.

7 PM. It was already evening.

Now that he noticed, he was hungry.

He realized he hadn't had a proper meal.

'Even if the winning streak is broken, the flow is already disrupted. Should I eat first?'

If he was on a winning streak, it would be different, but in this case, taking a break was actually good.

"I'll start the promotion match after eating."

- Huh?

- What!?

- ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Leaving?

- Let's eat!

- Absolutely do an eating broadcast! Absolutely do an eating broadcast! Absolutely do an eating broadcast! Absolutely do an eating broadcast!

- Oh, eating broadcast?

Eating broadcast?

Almond hadn't expected the suggestion for an eating broadcast.

He thought for a moment.

[Sorubread donated '5,000 won']

[Show an eating broadcast ㅠㅠ]

[Jammih donated '3,000 won']

[Bro, that's my weekly allowance. Let's eat together ㅠㅠ]

Even pleading donations started coming in.

He wanted to agree, but he wasn't prepared.

He didn't have a camera or microphone for broadcasting.

The only place he could broadcast from was the capsule.

"Ah... I don't think I can do an eating broadcast..."

Bam!

[KimchiStew donated an incredible '100,000 won']

[Absolutely do an eating broadcast!]

"......It sounds good!"

- lolololol

- KimchiStew's 'Sincere Punch'

- Sincerity works anywhere. Oh─men.

- lolololol, that's not what you were going to say.

"Well, but I don't have the equipment, and I'll check with the manager. It might not be possible!"

Almond calmed the viewers for a moment and stepped out of the capsule.

* * *

Squeak──

The capsule lid opened with a hiss.

Almond, damp with sweat, got up from inside.

'Today, I didn't sweat much.'

It was a clear sign that his condition was good. Sometimes, he would be drenched in sweat after just one game, but today, it felt like a light jog.

"Eating broadcast?"

Juhyuk, who was looking at the computer monitor, turned around and asked.

"Yeah. Is it possible?"

"Possible. If you want to. It's very good."

Juhyuk seemed genuinely happy.

Increasing ways to interact with viewers is generally good for streamers.

It was good news for Juhyuk, who always thinks commercially.

And there was something he wanted to slip in here.

"But... I don't have a camera. What should I do?"

Despite Sanghyun's dampening comment, Juhyuk shook his head with a smug smile.

"I know, man. I have a plan. Outdoor broadcast."

"Outdoor...?"

"Since you don't have a camera, the quality would be poor anyway. Might as well do an outdoor broadcast with your phone."

He had seen it before.

Streamers walking around outside with long selfie sticks.

'I never thought I'd be doing that.'

Sanghyun hesitated a bit.

"Food?"

"Eat outside."

"Hey, isn't that a bit of a nuisance?"

The thought of doing that and eating food made him even more uncomfortable.

"Nuisance? That person will be overjoyed."

"......That person?"

"O Gangwoo Kimchi Stew's successor."

"Oh...!"

Sanghyun clapped his hands, thinking it was perfect.

If it was there, it would be fine.

"Then, I'll get a mask for a bit."

He grabbed a mask to cover his face, to avoid making the same mistake as last time.

Meanwhile, Juhyuk quickly made a call.

Probably to an advertiser.

"......Yes, yes. We should go when the opportunity comes. Haha. It's great that you're doing it enthusiastically..."

Seeing him talk like that, it seemed the issue was quickly resolved. As soon as he put on the mask, Juhyuk opened the front door.

"Let's go! First advertisement!"

* * *

"Welcome! Ten thousand years of tradition! The taste of hell! O Gangwoo Kimchi Stew!!!"

A loud voice greeted the three of them.

That's right, three of them. Seo Ji-a had joined.

When Juhyuk messaged her asking if she wanted to eat, she immediately said she would.

She also said she would just eat and not broadcast, pulling her hood over her head.

"Let's order the same as last time... and no alcohol. Got it?"

Juhyuk looked at Ji-a.

"Got it. I know that much."

Ji-a averted her gaze, a bit awkward from the last alcohol incident.

"Good. Then, three servings of the Nine Hells Stew."

Just as the staff was about to take the menu,

"Hey! You really came!"

The owner, Oh Dong-san, appeared. Just as Juhyuk expected, he was very happy.

"The CEO told me! You're doing an advertisement right here at our branch!"

Hahaha.

Oh Dong-san's face, lined with wrinkles, lit up with genuine joy.

Seeing that, Sanghyun felt reassured.

'It doesn't seem like a nuisance...'

He pulled out a selfie stick with a slightly uneasy expression.

He could feel the gazes of the people around him.

"Ugh, I can't get used to this."

"Hey, it's part of your daily life now. Just do it."

At Juhyuk's urging, Sanghyun nodded and turned on the broadcast on his phone.

[Mobile streaming has started!]

It was his first outdoor broadcast.
