Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 182
63. Perception change (1)
“article?”
“Uh. There are just some media outlets related to games. Even if they’re not major.”
“ah… … “Like a gaming mecca?”
“Uh. It’s certain that the Alltube tow trucks are rushing in… … .”
Normally, I would have to come up with a plan or strategy to deal with news stories.
It’s a company dinner now. And once he takes a sip of alcohol, Joohyuk doesn’t have any annoying thoughts.
“I was attracted to a lot of aggro. Isn’t that something more to celebrate as a streamer?! uh?! Cheers!!”
“Right?! Cheers!”
Sang-hyeon also receives praise.
Three beer glasses, including Jia’s, clink together coolly.
braided!
* * *
The first dinner was very enjoyable.
The fact that it was so much fun was actually a flaw.
All three of them were so drunk that they almost crawled to the taxi.
“Whew.”
“Hey, get on quickly. Get on.”
Fortunately, all three of us were heading in the same direction, so we were able to take a taxi together.
“Please go to the successor.”
The car lights passed by my eyes a few times, and I listened to the cheap jokes coming from the taxi’s radio panel, and before I knew it, I was in front of the tall stairs.
The calculation was done by Sang-Hyeon, who was in the best condition.
“Ugh. When is this going to go up again?”
Huah. Joohyuk stretched as if he had almost recovered while riding in the taxi.
He seemed to be doing some warm-up exercises as if it was something he was used to.
“I’ll carry it.”
“Will it work?”
“uh. “I’m trying to think of myself as deadlifting.”
“Isn’t that a squat?”
“That’s it, man.”
It seemed completely different. Sang-Hyeon didn’t bother to nitpick.
This is because Joo-hyuk had already lifted Jia up and was climbing the stairs.
‘That kid… … ‘
Sang-Hyeon stared blankly at them, then suddenly realized something.
‘You’re not drunk.’
Jia’s eyes are narrowed.
Sang-Hyeon’s eyesight is 2-3 times better than that of an average adult, and he also has excellent night vision.
It seems that a scene that should not have been seen was visible.
As expected, Jia doesn’t seem to know that she can be seen from Sanghyun’s position. A faint smile is spreading across his lips.
“Ugh… … .”
“Why, what’s wrong?”
Jia’s arms tightened around Joohyuk.
“Are you afraid of falling? Then please don’t get drunk!”
Joohyuk grumbled and clenched his legs. But he still climbed up diligently.
No, actually, isn’t it a good feeling?
‘Be patient.’
Sanghyeon burst out laughing.
* * *
Joohyuk took her to Jia’s room and carefully laid her down on the bed.
“Whoa. I’m dying.”
Joohyuk sits on the bed for a moment and pats his back.
He checked Zia’s condition once and then got up from his seat.
“Ugh… … .”
A hand pulling Joohyuk’s sleeve.
“… … !”
Joohyuk’s footsteps stopped for a moment.
I waited for a while.
Jia’s hand was still holding her sleeve.
He slowly turned his head.
It was because of the blue moonlight coming in through the window. I couldn’t see the eyes inside his glasses.
Gia couldn’t know.
I couldn’t read what Joohyuk was hesitating about.
After a while. Joo-hyuk shook his head and ran out of the house as if running away.
thud.
The sound of the front door closing.
“what.”
Sreuk.

Jia stood up and sighed lightly.
Looking out the window, I saw Sanghyun and Joohyuk walking uphill.
The blue full moon was rising large over the roof of Sang-Hyeon’s house. It looked like they were climbing stairs toward the moon.
As if I could reach there someday. I stumble and climb hard.
Sigh.
A blue smile appeared on Jia’s lips.
Zing. Zing.
However, one vibration of the phone was enough. Taking away her smile.
[pup]
The phone rings.
I didn’t accept it and ignored it.
Then a message came.
[Dog Boy: Are you in the panda today?]
The corners of Zia’s mouth hardened again.
As expected, our eyes met.
I looked at you for no reason while you were going to the bathroom. I should have just not even glanced at you.
“Just don’t go.”
I mutter some pointless resentment.
Jia’s gaze turns back to the window, now bathed in blue light.
Her eyes take in the large moon.
Sometimes I want to leave this earth.
What if I run away there?
Did they get to the moon?
It’s not visible.

next day.
When Sang-hyeon woke up with a throbbing hangover, the first sensation that hit him was the smell of savory pollack soup.
Crack, thump, thump.
The familiar sound of a blade hitting a cutting board.
When I went out to the living room, Joohyuk was busy cooking.
I knew you were diligent, but didn’t you drink quite a bit yesterday? It was a little surprising.
‘I was going to call Jia, but.’
Sang-hyun sat quietly at the table so as not to disturb Joo-hyuk. He now habitually checked his SNS account to check the comments and community reactions.
Meanwhile. Almonds and electromagnetic waves are found in the search term rankings of portal sites.
4th) Electromagnetic waves
.
.
.
8th) Almond
If you click on anything, an article appears at the very top.
This is a popular article with over ten thousand comments.
“6 million followers electromagnetic wave follows only 10 people. One of them is new streamer Almond?”
The media is a gaming mecca.
It is a major media outlet in the gaming industry. So it will probably be featured on portals like Jaber.
-Wow lol
-Chivalry is also divided in the Almond Game Mecca
-Why does this guy become more famous when he’s not on vacation?
└That… … It’s because it’s an insider’s shack.
└ㄹㅇㅋ
└Because I’m popular, I do better when I’m out… … .
-What on earth does this have to do with electromagnetic waves? I left a comment about it before.
└What is the relationship? I just follow you because you’re really good.
└ You didn’t even follow the player who won the JRL World Championship twice?
└I wonder if almonds are better
└This guy is deliberately insulting almonds haha.
People are grumbling again.
In fact, Sang-Hyeon also understands such arguments.
Even in my opinion, I’m not that great of a person to be followed by an electromagnetic wave (although I have nothing to say if you ask if that’s a big deal).
‘I never thought there were only 9 people on my following list.’
If the number of accounts that EMF was following was 100-200 like other people, I wouldn’t have thought this way. It wouldn’t have become such an issue.
“What? When did you wake up and sit there?”
It seems that Joo-hyuk, who was making dried pollack soup, has finally discovered Sang-hyeon.
I closed the lid of the pot and approached Sanghyun.
“What are you looking at like that?”
“Ah. The electromagnetic wave followed me. It was in the news.”
“So that’s what happened in the end.”
It was just as Joohyuk expected.
Since one in ten people eat almonds, there’s no way they’d miss out on an article like this.
‘That’s strange.’
I thought it was strange when you first said you followed me.
It was even weirder now.
9 people are colleagues who shared the former glory together. And the other one is almond?
Isn’t it out of balance?
‘It’s completely special treatment.’
Joo-hyuk tends to be wary of good news without a reason. What is gained through luck is destined to be lost through greater misfortune.
Animals like humans are designed that way, and the society they create is also designed that way.
“You. Do you happen to know electromagnetic waves?”
“… … no. “Because it’s not.”
Sang-Hyeon avoids eye contact again.
“hey. It’s because I’m worried. “It’s a little strange, isn’t it?”
“… … .”
Sang-Hyeon had no answer.
‘It seems like there’s something I can’t talk about.’
This kid is really bad at lying.
“You can’t talk, right?”
Sang-Hyeon nods quietly.
“… … okay. I get it.”
Joo-hyuk had a vague guess, but he said he couldn’t say anything, so he decided to just ignore it. If you ask more, he’ll be in pain.
“It’s not a bad thing, right?”
“I don’t think I followed you in a bad way.”
“Okay. Then that’s fine.”
Ddddddd.
The lid of the pot was shaking and shaking. The water is about to boil and overflow.
“oh.”
Joohyuk ran quickly and turned off the fire.
“When is Gia coming?”
“Ah… … I’ll be here soon… … Yeah?”
Joo-hyuk’s hand, which was picking up the ladle, stopped.
“How did you know?”
“It’s obvious.”
“… … why?”
“what?”
“Why did you think it was obvious?”
“… … .”
Instead of explaining, Sanghyun says, look at your actions now… … He gave me a gentle look.
“Keu, keuhm.”
Joo Hyuk automatically turned his head.
“Wouldn’t it be nice if we all eat together?”
“Good. Good. I’m dying of joy.”
Sang-hyeon was sarcastically making sarcastic remarks, but Joo-hyuk, unlike usual, couldn’t even utter a single proper rebuttal.
I decided to just focus on cooking.
After some time, the doorbell rang.
“It’s me!”
* * *
The dish Joo-hyuk prepared was pork belly simmered in sweet red pepper paste and buckwheat noodle soup.
“Wow. What a feast!”
Jia put her hands together and jumped up. I guess I didn’t know that it was prepared to this extent.
Sanghyeon chuckled and picked up his chopsticks.
Perhaps because they put so much effort into it, the pork belly was so delicious that it almost melted like dongpo meat.
The sweet and spicy sauce soaks deep into the fat, making you want to eat rice.
The buk-eot-guk was lightly seasoned and focused on a refreshing taste, which was a good combination of the two.
“I could be a cooking YouTuber. Hey.”
“Are you doing mukbang?”
“oh. okay. Do you really want to do it?”
As we were almost done eating, we were chatting away.
Tiring.
[Takoyaki: Today, we’re broadcasting the Power Ranking again. We don’t all need to watch it together. Please watch it whenever you have time. Practice starts at 6.]
A message has arrived from Takoyaki.
‘Ah. They’re doing it again today. The Power Ranking broadcast.’
Since practice matches are the main content of this ‘Nant Match’, they are broadcast periodically.
The power rankings are adjusted little by little by briefly reviewing the two days of practice matches.
Of course, only two days have passed, so little has changed.
All we’ll do is gather around and chat about what kind of player this is and what kind of player that is.
‘You’re doing it at lunchtime?’
That may be why today, instead of the peak time of 6-7 PM, it will be held briefly during lunch time.
I thought it would probably be okay to watch it after going to the gym.
* * *
“ha. ha.”
This is my first jog in about 3 days.
I’m out of breath.
Moreover, my body was a little creaky because of yesterday’s drinking.
“I’m almost 30 years old, so my body is… … .”
Phew.
Sang-Hyeon took a deep breath and collapsed on the bench, grumbling as he drank some water.
My throat, which had become sore from the cold air, is moistened again.
White steam rises.
White steam rose not only from his mouth but also from his heated body.
My body is hot, but the weather is just as cold.
Maybe that’s why my sides feel cold for no reason.
As I sat on the bench and looked out at the riverside, I saw quite a few couples walking around with their arms around each other.
No, actually, almost all of them were couples.
“Phew.”
He threw the empty water bottle into the trash can and got up again.
His long bangs rippled in his vision as he started to run again.
Her long, black hair sways.
Sang-Hyeon closed his eyes for a moment to wipe away the sweat that had flowed down his body.
* * *
By the time I got home and finished taking a shower, it was almost 1pm.
‘Did I suddenly run for too long?’
I thought I was in bad shape because of the hangover, but I ended up running better than I thought and ran longer. Time has flown by.
He quickly sat down at the computer and turned on Trivi.
[King’s Power Ranking]
The title reminded me of the Kingdom Villain I met on the subway. Sang-hyeon worked hard to erase that terrible memory from his head and then went on air.
It seemed like the broadcast was already over.
[Would it be organized like this?]
Kinggyul is trying to organize something.
[what… … Yes. Actually, it’s only been two days, so there isn’t that much of a change.]
The analyst listens and points to the power ranking chart.
‘That’s it?’
As the analyst said, there was no significant change in the power rankings.
No, nothing has changed at all.
Until we go further down.
[Is there only one team that is experiencing significant changes right now?]
[It’s not that big. It’s a three-step increase.]
[But considering it’s just the beginning, isn’t it too big?]
[If you don’t like it, you can just come down next time. Well.]
There was one team that rose three levels.
12th) Balloon Stars
This is the Balloon Stars that Almond belongs to.
12th place.
Yesterday it was 15th.
‘oh… … !’
And in the remarks column next to it, there were comments from three commentators.
It’s like this.
[Comment 1: Almonds. Maybe it’s pretty strong?]
[Comment 2: Almonds. Like I said.]
[Comment 3: Clearly a brilliant play. But still needs to be verified.]
This was the part where you could see who was responsible for the three steps up.
Those with keen intuition already felt it.
[I think this about almonds. [He is someone who will bring about a seismic change in this industry.]
The changes that almonds are bringing about.
[ah. So, almonds are earthquakes?]
[No. How does that happen?]
[What is not a tsunami?]
