Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 2
1. I still want to shoot (2)
Skills broadcasting.
Actually, I didn’t know about Sanghyeon because I hadn’t seen it much, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a market like that.
No, rather, there were more shows with better skills.
The streamer he enjoyed watching, ‘Bubble Gum’, was strangely bad at playing games.
‘Bubble Gum was a show that people who don’t play games watched.’
Only then did Sang-Hyeon realize that the algorithm had recommended such broadcasts to him because he was a person who did not play games.
The main viewers of skill broadcasts were generally players who liked games. This is to learn from the broadcast and become better yourself.
‘I can’t believe I’m studying this much for a game.’
Sanghyun felt that he had inadvertently been ignoring the game. It was like the sports industry here too.
Develop your skills and prove them by competing with others.
There is almost no element of luck.
A battle of skill versus skill.
Jingeom competition.
compete!
“… … good night.”
gulp.
Sanghyun muttered as he swallowed a sip of water.
It was the kind of life he had liked since he was young. Competing fairly with his skills, continuously developing himself, and moving up one level at a time.
On the other hand, society was completely different from these rules. Luck played almost a third of the role, and connections were three to four times more important than ability. Even Sang-Hyeon was a parachute.
If you add in academic ties and local ties, it was almost questionable whether work ability could really be measured.
It seemed better to be good looking than to be good at work.
In short, society has too complex mechanisms and too many variables.
Sang-Hyeon liked things simple.
“… … Let’s do it.”
He thought that perhaps the world of this game would suit him well.
* * *
Two days after I quit my job.
A coworker I met at the company cafe shouted at Sang-Hyeon.
“Are you crazy!?”
He was Kim Joo-hyuk, the only co-worker at the company with whom Sang-hyeon was very open.
Joo-hyuk was a person who lived a life completely opposite to Sang-hyeon.
An elite among the elite who grew up in a wealthy family, went to a good university, graduated from a prestigious graduate school in the United States, and got a job at a large corporation.
“… … “Do you think I’m crazy?”
If he was so opposed to it, then it was something that Sang-Hyeon should think about at least once.
“Well, then you don’t think this is crazy?”
“No, why? I’m really good.”
“… … You said you’ve never played a game before.”
“huh.”
“under?”
Joohyuk shouted, trying to make the most ridiculous expression he could make on his face.
“Hey, you idiot! But you’re using the money you saved up for a deposit to buy a capsule?!”
He was yelling so loudly that all the surrounding employees turned around to look at him.
“That… …there’s also a retirement allowance? So keep your voice down.”
“No, how much severance pay does a guy who just got fired from his job get!?”
“It’s different being cut due to restructuring, man.”
“ha.”
Joo-hyuk held his head.
Although Sang-Hyeon was a friend who spoke a bit harshly, he was a smart and decent guy compared to other guys who graduated from good universities.
‘Sometimes it’s this damn problem that’s the problem.’
But sometimes there are moments when that smartness turns into stupidity.
For example, at the moment when he says he will eat only cup noodles at the in-house restaurant on weekdays and cup noodles on weekends, he will put all the rent money he has saved into a capsule.
“hey. Rather go to Gangwon Land. “That would be better.”
“… … “I’m not good at card games?”
“It’s just a metaphor. Metaphoroooo!”
Oh, you frustrating bastard.
Joo-hyuk thought. As expected, geniuses always have something wrong with them.
“How long has it been since you took a break from archery?”
“hmm…….”
“You don’t even remember?!”
“Umm… … .”
“Why is that guy suddenly shooting arrows again? And in a game? By stealing the deposit? Hey. Just live a normal life.”
“Umm… … .”
Sang-Hyeon’s expression does not change at all.
‘This kid isn’t listening?!’
As usual, I don’t listen to things that don’t interest me. In particular, he has a knack for nagging, literally.
“ha. “How much?”

“Four thousand!”
‘This is too quick to answer.’
Joohyuk was about to say something but barely managed to hold it back. It was obvious that no one would listen anyway.
“The capsule alone costs 4,000, the electricity cost to run it is no joke, and what kind of strange equipment… … . Don’t you need it?”
“Um… … I don’t know yet. But wouldn’t just one capsule solve everything? It costs 4,000.”
“Even if you buy a car worth 150 million, it costs money to add options. “This person.”
“Ugh. I see.”
Sanghyun thought.
‘As expected, the elites are different.’
There is a lot to be gained from talking to Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Just wait until I get off work. Okay? Don’t buy anything in the meantime. I’ll contact someone I know and find out where you can get it cheaper.”
“Oh… …! Thank you!”
“Stay here. “Today is Kaltoe.”
After saying that, Kim Joo-hyuk quickly headed to the elevator.
It was just yesterday that we were riding in that elevator together with coffee. Sanghyeon felt a little heartbroken as he looked at his back.
‘Forget it.’
This bitterness may be an inevitable process for a new beginning.
* * *
Five o’clock in the afternoon.
Sang-Hyeon was at a cafe, using his laptop to roughly check the market prices and looking at stock charts to figure out how to use his retirement fund.
“How is it that I’m more scared than you?”
“oh. “Are you here?”
Sang-Hyeon looked at Joo-Hyeok with his head tilted up, like a bat.
“… … Don’t you usually turn your head to the side?”
“ah. is it.”
Sanghyun turned his head to the side again. So it became a bat with its head turned to the side.
“Anyway, he’s such an amazing guy. “Let’s go first.”
“where? I found it?”
“Just follow me.”
Joo Hyuk took the lead, wearing a suit jacket with a confident attitude.
Sang-hyeon was excited to see what kind of connections Joo-hyuk would use to buy capsules at a low price.
‘I think they’ll give me a discount of about 500.’
* * *
“Eh?”
“What is it?”
“This is a capsule room.”
“Okay. Just don’t say anything and follow me.”
“No… … I’m just looking to buy capsules. I’m not looking to use them.”
As I follow Joo-hyuk’s hand, I soon hear a voice greeting me warmly.
“Hey, Joohyuk is here? “Is that friend next to you?”
“Ah. Hyung. It’s been a while.”
“… … Ah, hello.”
Sang-Hyeon roughly figured out the situation and quickly greeted him. It turned out that Joo-Hyeok was an older brother he knew.
“Did you say Mr. Sang-Hyeon?”
A man who looked like he was running a room of truth rather than a capsule room approached me and held out his hand.
Sanghyun nodded, holding the man’s thick hand.
“Yes. This is Yoo Sang-hyun.”
“nice to meet you. “My name is Lee Kang-seok, and I’m the president here.”
“Ah… … yes.”
“Follow me. Is this your first time in a capsule?”
“yes.”
“But you shouldn’t be considering buying it already.”
‘Are you trying to persuade me?’
Sang-Hyeon turns around and glares at Joo-Hyeok. He just waves with a smile.
First, Sang-Hyeon followed the president out of consideration for Joo-Hyeok’s reputation.
“ruler. “Go in here.”
“… … ?”
“Mr. Sang-Hyeon, this is where you register your personal information.”
“ah.”
“I heard this is my first time registering.”
“yes.”
“This place will close soon, so just put on your panties and wait while the computer tells you to.”
thud.
Sang-hyeon suddenly found himself trapped in what looked like a huge space emergency escape ship.
* * *
While Sanghyun entered, the two talked.
“Brother. You said you had some used ones left?”
“uh. The parts used in the capsule room are so expensive that they can be sold for 1,500. “If you really feel like you don’t have any money, there are things you can sell for around 1,000.”
“Wow. Thank you.”
“It’s nothing. It’s just the regular price. Tsk… … . I’d like to stop you if possible.”
“Your brother too?”
“Yeah. There are people like that sometimes. People who are obsessed with something and want to buy used capsules. Aren’t games making a lot of money these days? They think that if they do well in a game that’s doing well or if the broadcast is successful, they’ll make a fortune.”
“Hey. Is there anyone else who thinks that simply… besides him?”
“Do you think everyone in the world is smart like you? It’s full of idiots. ah… … “Of course, that doesn’t mean your friend is like that.”
“He’s so stupid.”
The president laughed heartily and stood up again. Sang-Hyeon’s body scan must have been completed soon.
He continued talking as he walked toward the scanning room.
“Oh, and there’s one more thing people get wrong.”
“what……?”
“You think that what you do well in reality will work well in games. But that’s not the case. In the past or now, there are no physical limitations in games. It’s just a mental battle. Playing soccer well in reality is different from playing soccer well in games.”
“Full dive too?”
“Yeah. In reality, you can cover up or overwhelm others with your physical strength, but you can’t do that in a game. There’s no such thing as physical discrimination.”
“ah…….”
“Maybe that friend, if I were to test him today and give him a light game called Real Olympics, he might give up right away. Please comfort me well. “The story wasn’t quite right.”
“……all right.”
Joohyuk was worried.
‘Is the game very different from reality?’
It’s not like he hasn’t played virtual reality games. However, for someone with a normal body, there was no way he would feel that the game was very different from reality.
Because there were many more cases where people were not able to do something in games that they were good at in real life than the opposite.
But maybe the pros feel it a lot. Because you can’t utilize that excellent physical ability in games.
‘It was better. ‘I also save money on rent.’
He roughly thought of something to comfort Sanghyeon. He thinks it’s better not to buy the capsules.
-Scan complete.
After a while. After Sanghyun came out of the scan room, he entered the capsule at the front.
“ruler. “I’m just going to test it out.”
The president started explaining to Sanghyun.
“Since you mainly do archery, the test will be easy for you. It’s a game called Real Olympics. I’ve set it to archery.”
“Oh, thank you.”
“Because we’re going to close the door now. Take a look at your score here. and… … .”
‘Still, think twice about buying the capsule.’
The president couldn’t bear to say these words. It will happen anyway.
thud.
The capsule door was closed, and the president and Joo-hyuk turned on the monitor in viewing mode.
-Wow… … .
The excitement unique to the Olympics appeared on the screen.
And there stood Sanghyeon, who for some reason looked amazing in the white uniform.
Kiririk.
He pulled the bowstring without any hesitation, as if he had been pulling it every day for years.
