Genius Archer Streaming Season 2 Episode 12
4. Real Survival (3)
How do I go to the bathroom?
Do I really have to think about all these things in detail?
Almond was very confused. It was so different from the games he had played before.
“It must be a concept. How can you fight in a game?”
It’s just a terrible concept game. Almond thinks like this.
-Ignoring reality lol
-It seems real when you see the NPC talking like that, lol
-Oh my gosh, are you watching our Almond oppa cry!? Whoa! (thud)
-If it’s true, it’s the worst game everㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Almond didn’t want to accept this setting as real. If it were, wouldn’t the game become too embarrassing for streamers?
Above all, the difficulty of the game itself increases ridiculously.
“… … Hey. Are you listening to me? How do I get to the bathroom? I have to go all the way to the hallway.”
The store clerk points beyond the iron gate.
Boom! Boom… … !
Beyond that iron gate, someone is still knocking on it.
“That… wouldn’t it be better to think about it when the time comes?”
“What? Then don’t be late! Are you saying we should just wrap it in a paper bag and throw it outside? What about our shower? Are you going to keep wearing the same clothes? You smell really bad?”
“It’s not my clothes… … .”
“anyway!”
-Store owner Carrie lol
-???: Oh… … I found a new walnut.
-NPC who rolls walnuts instead of almonds
– And clothes too? AI is no joke.
“Hygiene is directly related to survival. My major is food hygiene.”
Wow. You’re doing a part-time job that’s a good use of your major. Almond exclaimed in admiration.
“People don’t necessarily have to be stabbed to die. They die slowly when sanitary conditions deteriorate. Modern people don’t know this because they always have access to antibiotics and hospitals.”
A store clerk who keeps giving speeches about the importance of hygiene.
Almond listened carefully and asked back:
“Okay. Who’s going to go?”
“?”
Pointing to the iron gate that is still being knocked on.
Boom! Kookung! Kookugung!
“Who’s going out? Over there. There’s a bathroom outside over there.”
The current situation is similar to things like putting a bell on a cat’s neck, carrying a gun, and talking on the table.
Hygiene, waste disposal, all that stuff. But who can step up for it? That’s the problem.
“Am I joining too?”
The boy with the bushy hair finally opens his mouth.
“If you don’t fit in here, you’ll go out?”
-Almond, why are you angry? Hahahahaha
-I got beat up by my older sister and I’m in a state of shock
-Oh, you’re so rough~ I like it~
-That’s true lol
-I’m telling you this because I think you’ll get in trouble if you just sit still and do nothing lol
The boy with the bushy hair looked at the almond for a while and then nodded.
“No. I can’t go out. I have to stay here. Then the three of us are a team.”
team?
Almond tilts his head.
I never thought about it that way… … The boy was right. We were a team after all.
-Almond doesn’t look like he’s on a team? LOL
-???: Team? Who?
-Hell Team Play ON!
-This is a high school, so why is there already a socially destructive system like group projects…
“Yeah. For now, that’s it.”
Tiring.
Then, the alarm rings.
[The boy with the bangs distrusts you.]
[The store clerk is skeptical about you.]
It was a message about what other NPCs thought.
[Currently, ‘Belonging’ is activated.]
In addition, a new state of almonds has emerged.
-A sense of belonging? LOL
-Is this the status for community users? Haha
-Speaking of a sense of belonging, wouldn’t our troublemaker and chaos maker Lilpro be the best? >~< A sense of belonging. It's an ambiguous word. Almond tries to figure out what this condition means. ==== ==== [hungry] Stamina is slightly reduced. [sense of belonging] Stamina, Perseverance, Fighting Spirit, and Positivity increase slightly, and Depression and Negativity increase when a teammate dies. ==== ==== It was a double-edged sword. Almond spoke into the broadcast microphone channel. “I guess I need team members after all.” -Yeah, I guess there's something like loneliness and shame when you're alone. -Wow, the game details -ㅎㄷㄷ -Humans cannot live alone. Almond looks at the two inside the store again. A silent boy with a bushy beard who only speaks when necessary, and a lively store clerk who talks a lot but never takes action. These two are a team from now on. Like it or not. It's not that stressful of a situation for Almond. Why didn't you learn anything in the castle? "This is your team. I'm your boss. Whether you like it or not, we're just going together. Just like that pillar in the company, whether you like it or not, it's still there." This is what I heard the first day I met the team leader. It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. The only thing that matters is this present fact that we have to go together. This was a pretty good lesson. “Does anyone need to go to the bathroom right now?” Almond looks at the other two and asks. The boy with the bushy hair just blinked, and the store clerk raised his hand cautiously, blushing. 'no wonder.' He looks quite anxious. It seems he needs to go to the bathroom. “No, it’s not poop. That’s… … .” "know." Almond had a rough idea of what he was trying to say. 'Fortunately, the store also sells daily necessities.' It doesn't seem like there will be any shortage of basic necessities. As long as there is a toilet, you should be able to live a minimal life. “If it’s not a bowel movement, I can wait until dinner.” "……huh." “Then I’ll think about it for a bit and then go.” The clerk's eyes widen. “… … Go? You’re going?” "uh." Almond said as he picked up a few more breads from the store. 'I have to go out in the best possible condition.' First of all, I plan to completely eliminate hunger. Almond rips off another piece of soboro bread and buries it in his mouth. “Is there anything here that could be used as a weapon?” The target of the question was, of course, the clerk. Because she would know this retail space best. * * * Squeak. The place the clerk guided me to was a warehouse. “If it’s here… … will it be okay?” It was a storage room like the kind you might find in a convenience store or small shop, where they store extra bread and snacks. “It’s okay here.” The boy with the bushy hair mutters behind him. He also followed me to see the warehouse. It seems that what he said about us being a team from now on wasn't an empty promise. “There are also things like tools. Something like this… … ?” The clerk shows the items stacked on one side of the shelf. First, you can see what are commonly called work gloves, a screwdriver for simple repairs, a pair of pliers, and a slightly larger industrial cutter knife that appears to be used for opening boxes. 'There's a knife.' Almond is the first one to get his hands on the weapon, which is a bit too weak. Knock knock. When I pulled it out, the teeth were all gone and rusted, just like before. Since it was intended for use as a cutting tool for box tape, it would have been more inconvenient to have the blade still alive. “Are there any additional days?” “The blade? Um… … Oh, where did I put it? My mother knows… … .” The clerk scratches his head and tilts his head. “Um… … I’ll look for it. It should be somewhere in the warehouse… … .” The clerk searched here and there for a while, but the blade was not there. Almonds go out of the warehouse and look for them. The clerk remains and continues to search, but still finds nothing. “Miss. Where are you? You don’t show up when I need you most!” At that moment, the boy with the bushy hair muttered. “I think it might work if I make it… … .” “Make it? A blade?” “No. Weapon.” He pounded the shelves in the warehouse with a screwdriver. “This and… … .” And then he points to one of the remaining cutter knives. "this……." The last one is box tape. “Something like a window like this.” "oh!" The clerk seemed to like the plan. He clapped his hands in approval. “Hey! Are you smart? Huh?” “Not really… … I think those two are bad.” “???” The moment I thought, “I think I heard something I shouldn’t have heard,” the old man had already started dismantling the iron shelf. I take down the few items on the shelf and start turning the screwdriver on the joint. Squeak. Squeak. “This shelf board could be converted into a shield… … .” The boy mutters to himself as he removes a long iron pole from the end of the shelf. “But even if I make a window, the blade will still be dull… … Is that okay?” “That’s better. If you can stab from a distance, it’s easier to apply force. Just like a spear is not a weapon because the blade is sharp.” "ah……!" The point is convenience in combat. The fact that students can properly transfer power to those small industrial cutter knives when dealing with zombies is close to a miracle that could only happen in theory. That's a skill only skilled assassins can perform. On the other hand, what if you were to thrust with as much force as possible from as far away as possible? Even if the blade is dull, it can still exert great force. That is the greatness of the spear. “Actually… … it would be best if I carved this iron pillar and made a blade.” If you support a cutter knife with duct tape, the durability of this weapon is actually determined by the adhesive strength of the duct tape, not the hardness of the steel and the cutter knife. If the box tape falls off, this weapon will lose its utility. However, if you carve iron and make a blade out of it, the durability of the weapon is determined by the hardness of the iron. It will be much more reliable than the adhesive strength of box tape. “Of course that’s nonsense… … .” The problem is a desk theory. It's not bamboo, and carving iron is a ridiculous plan. thud! After unscrewing a few more screws and pulling out the posts, the shelf collapsed. He collected all eight of the posts and placed them against one side of the wall. “There are only two knives… … Why do you bring so many?” “You never know.” “Oh, yeah.” The clerk jumped as if he had never thought of it. But then── There's an unusual sound coming from outside. ──Kudangtang! “… … ?” If I'm not mishearing, that sound is the sound of an iron door opening. “S, no way… … .” Are the zombies finally forcing open the iron door? With this thought, Hyun-ah ran outside. There are still almonds outside. She has to call him in. But… … the situation was completely the opposite of what she had thought. “What, what are you doing?! You now!” It was Almond who was opening the iron door. Clank! When she arrived, the door was already open. And she sees a zombie for the first time. “Kuaaaaaaah!” It looks clearly human, but its eyes are bloodshot and it makes a beast-like, rattling noise, and swings its half-sunken claws and fists. “Kyaaaaah! Kyaak!” “Kwaaah!” It wasn't one or two people. There appeared to be at least a dozen zombies dressed in school uniforms. The zombies walked slowly. The feeling of barely being able to move your body, with stiff, stiff muscles. So, I thought I might be able to survive if I closed the iron door again even now. But, my feet wouldn't move. Human instinct does not allow us to take even one more step towards that monster. Not even a sound came out. However, she screams when she sees what happens the very next moment. “Ugh… … !” What was reflected in the eyes of the clerk who was looking at me with a wide open mouth. Knock knock. Almond is seen charging at a zombie with a cutter knife. “Oh, no! Why are you doing that!?” A scream-like question eventually leaks out. It was such an absurd rash move. However, Almond had a reason to make a decision quickly. [Warning! Urine levels are at their maximum.] [If left untreated, health problems will begin to appear.] 'I should have had moderate drinks... ...!' The cause of the problem was that I drank too much of the conditioning drink because it was delicious. Not only that. Didn't you eat a lot of pizza bread and soboro bread too? [Warning! The stool count is over 80%.] [If not resolved, it will lead to maximum fainting.] -Nutcracker's eyes are more desperate than everㅋㅋㅋㅋ -Why can't you just say you need to take a dump? LOL -I had a rash because of poop lol -Ugh lol -Literally sh**ting judgment He was desperate. whopping. That's why I make up my mind after seeing the zombies. 'Breakthrough within 2 minutes.' fantasy,
