Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 32
12. Choice (2)
“first… … “Come in.”
The house where grandmother and Sang-hyeon lived is a little less than 30 pyeong in size.
So, it is quite big to live alone. There was no problem when Joo-hyuk came in.
There was no need to change the position of the capsule, and the damp atmosphere even brightened.
Joohyuk was particularly excited.
“Hey. Should I order chicken today?”
Joohyuk seemed to be having fun just leaving home. It was the first time he had lived away from his parents since his time studying abroad, so it made sense.
Moreover, it is my first time living with a friend.
Embarrassingly for being over 30, he was excited like a student at a retreat.
“Let’s get some beer too.”
“… … .”
Sang-hyun couldn’t deny that he felt quite good because Joo-hyuk came in.
Living alone is fun at first, but it gets really lonely later on. It’s nice to have company so you don’t feel lonely.
Nevertheless, Sanghyeon couldn’t just ignore it.
“Why don’t you tell me why you came out?”
Although I said it was okay to live together, I need to know what this bastard is thinking.
I know it’s not a big deal to live away from your parents when you’re over 30, but I still wanted to know why you came out.
“after… … . “I’ll tell you what happened later over a drink.”
“I don’t drink if I have a broadcast the next day.”
“okay? Then drink it the day before you rest later. “Anyway, what about the game?”
“Why?”
“We are at a crossroads between Emilia and Rosenita.”
“hmm…….”
Sanghyun didn’t really think about it either.
“I guess it doesn’t really matter what I choose, right? Hmm.”
He checked the community response while he was at it. When he searched for the name Almond, a huge number of posts poured in.
[Nut Shack, are you human?]
[In my standards, almonds are evil… … .]
[Oh, right. It ends there.]
[I cut it off there and go to stab Emilia with a bamboo spear if she betrays me]
.
.
.
The titles of the posts were quite gruesome.
Eat.
But Sang-Hyeon just laughed it off. His mentality wasn’t funny enough to be shaken by such a joke-like ridicule.
“The response is enthusiastic.”
“There’s something I’ve been thinking about for my next game.”
“hmm? Next game?”
Joohyuk suddenly changed the subject.
“Oh. Look here.”
He connected his laptop to a hologram projector and displayed data screens.
“oh… … .”
It was a device used in place of extra-large monitors these days. Because it is convenient and intuitive to view various information at once.
As Joohyuk moved his finger around the touchpad, the holograms spun around and displayed multiple pieces of data simultaneously.
It was about Sanghyun’s broadcast viewer classification and characteristics.
The organizing format was the same as that used by Asung Company, so it was easy for Sanghyun to understand.
“Umm… … So?”
“The bottom line is this.”
Ding.
All the distracting windows disappeared, and a single screen floated.
[Battle Large]
A teaser video for the game was playing on that screen.
A survival-style game with 100 participants.
It was a topic that made my heart race just by hearing it.
“Are you okay? “Would you like to try it in advance?”
Sang-hyeon thoughtlessly suggested playing in the capsule, but Joo-hyuk stopped him.
“no!”
“… … ?”
Sang-Hyeon looks back with an expression that says, ‘Like this?’
“Don’t you know what your viewers want?”
“You’re good at games.”
“It’s not just about being good at it. A genius, a genius!”
“… … “What’s the difference between that and being good at it?”
Joo Hyuk raised his rimless glasses with a frustrated expression.
“If you’re just good at something, you can get better with practice. But what about the geniuses we know? They’re good from the start just because of their talent.”

“Oh, I’m practicing? Also practice your bow skills─”
“No! At least you have to pretend like it’s your first time playing the game. But you can’t act or lie. Just do it for real.”
“???”
Sanghyun had a dumbfounded expression.
‘Kingdom Age, even so… … .’
Kingdom Age is a package game. It’s a natural game to play for the first time.
But it’s not Battle Raj at all. It is an online PVP game.
It’s a game where people compete against each other and show off their skills, but the problem is that it’s been almost two years since it came out.
So-called veterans have emerged, the gap in skill level between people has become very large, and the barrier to entry for beginners is high.
Asking someone to play a game like this for the first time and do well is asking too much.
Other people who are playing the game are not beginners and are putting in their own efforts, so would Sang-Hyeon, who is new to the game, be able to do better than them?
This was Sanghyun’s idea, but of course it was different from a third party’s perspective.
“You broke the record when you first played Kingdom Age. Do you think you can’t do it when you first play Battle Large?”
“… … Uh. I’m only good at archery, but isn’t that a shooting game? Basically.”
Sang-Hyeon nodded.
Battle Raj is a gun shooting game.
It was unknown what merit Sang-Hyeon, who knew how to shoot arrows, had.
“No. Look at this.”
Joo Hyuk uploaded several analysis videos.
This is a video of Sang-Hyeon riding a horse and shooting enemies.
“Does this seem related to archery? Well, of course there is a little bit. But if I ask your archery friends to do this, will they be able to do it?”
“… … .”
The words ‘You can do it, right?’ almost came out, but when Sanghyun thought about it again, he didn’t think that would be the case.
Archery is a very emotional sport.
It is not often assumed that archers would be good at soccer.
The play shown in the video is the same. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with archery.
“Hmm… … I’m running a simulation training program of my own, and it seems to be the result.”
“Simulation training program?”
This is the first time Joo Hyuk has heard this story.
“There’s a basic one installed. I do it periodically because I heard it’s well optimized.”
Sang-Hyeon said that he clears the simulation on the highest difficulty level once a day.
Joohyuk searched for the name of the program that Sanghyun had mentioned.
“Uh… …What’s your total score?”
After completing the simulation training, you will be given a total score.
“It was around 12,000 points?”
“crazy.”
Woof.
New information appeared on the holographic screen.
“That program isn’t for professionals, but… … You’re number one there, aren’t you?”
“what?”
Sanghyun looked at the data more closely with an expression of disbelief.
There is no way the hologram pixels would change when viewed up close. The data remained the same.
At the very top, the same body authentication serial code of Almond was written.
‘I… … 1st?’
Kingdom Age doesn’t have a ranking system, because there’s no standard for determining what constitutes good play.
Even though I broke a new record, it’s true that I didn’t really feel it.
From Sanghyun’s perspective, it was like that from the beginning, so breaking a new record didn’t feel like a big deal.
However, it felt completely different to be ranked first place so accurately.
“Whoa… … .”
He paused, stepped back, and said nothing for a while.
“So what I said is correct?”
“what?”
“You’re just incredibly talented in this field, regardless of archery! You can start playing Battle Large right away by just watching the guide video. must… … .”
Joohyuk was so excited that his opinion was right that he started rambling wildly.
However, as always, Joo-hyuk’s words did not reach Sang-hyeon’s ears.
‘1st… … .’
The thrill of winning first place touched his heart more than he had expected.
* * *
Sanghyun decided to turn on the broadcast a little early today. This is to test which time of day has the best influx.
“Going in.”
“OK.”
Having someone to say hello to when entering the capsule felt a lot better than I expected.
It’s quite annoying that the person you’re talking to isn’t your pretty girlfriend, but Kim Joo-hyuk, who talks like a calculator, but still, where’s the point?
Chiiik─
With the sound of the lid closing, the surroundings become dark and a new world opens up.
[Start daily training protocol]
As soon as you enter, the automatically set simulation starts.
Sanghyun cleared the full course as easily as jogging.
[13,112]
A record of over 13,000 points was set.
‘… … It’s a new record then?’
Since this training protocol is not intended for competition, no score charts are displayed within the system.
But now Sanghyun knows.
That the 12,000 points he had set was the top score.
But even that was broken today.
Very lightly.
It was a moment when I was in a daze, feeling dazed.
[Joo Hyuk: Watch the Battle Large guide video before turning on the broadcast.]
Tiring.
Joohyuk posted a video link.
Sanghyun moved his hand and clicked on the video.
Hwiiiiing─
100 players falling with the sound of strong wind.
As soon as they open their parachutes and fall, they immediately start running around.
After each person picks up a weapon, they shoot at each other whenever they encounter an opponent. Or, there are cases where they implicitly do not attack if they pass by from a distance.
‘It looks fun… … .’
Thump─
Sanghyeon’s heart was pounding.
It’s a completely different feeling from when I watched Kingdom. A game where you compete in survival with 100 people.
Just hearing about it made me interested, but when I actually saw it, I really wanted to do it.
‘Not today.’
Sang-Hyeon decided to endure it for now.
As Joo-hyuk said, if you go into it knowing too much, the fun that viewers will feel will be halved.
It’s better to stop at just knowing the rules.
‘If it’s a genius concept anyway, then it should be like that.’
Additionally, Sanghyeon wanted to test it out.
I really wonder how far his talent goes.
[Good job. The broadcast is starting now.]
He sent a message to Joo Hyuk and started streaming.
* * *
As the broadcast began, Almond found himself standing in the wide field where the battlefield had been.
Is the immersion level of virtual reality games as expected?
I couldn’t believe that I had imagined playing Battle Large just a moment ago.
Now, Sanghyun was Almond, a mercenary who intervened in the war between Jeanneret and Tallorant in the Kingdom Age world.
“How long are you going to make me wait?”
Rosenita asks back with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
It’s a call for answers to the questions she asked.
[1. I am honored that you recognize my worth.]
[2. Even though he is a mercenary, he has already pledged loyalty.]
If Sang-Hyeon was really in this situation, it would have been a choice he should have thought about for at least a week.
That doesn’t seem to be the case for Rosenta.
“Answer quickly. Are you planning on staying here all day?”
It’s a urging that seems quite arrogant.
But even that was cheered on by viewers, who found it attractive.
-Girl crush
-Girl Zion T ㄷㄷ
-Please, give that cheeky nut a scolding, sis!
-sister, I like you!
Emilia is popular, and Rosenita is also popular.
‘Rozenita, next time… … .’
If you go to Rosenta, the game will be much longer.
Now it’s time to change the game.
Therefore, I would like to end this episode with Emilia’s route. That is also a matter of maintaining loyalty.
Almond opened his mouth.
“Even though I am a mercenary, I have already sworn allegiance.”
Rosenita looks very disappointed, but then smiles instead.
“What should I do with this? I’m more tempted. Isn’t it better than any other article?”
When it was concluded, the soldiers dragged Rosenita away.
Even while being taken prisoner, those deep, ocean-like eyes continued to look at Almond.
-ㅠㅠ Go well, Rosenita!
-damn…….
-Almond, this is so stupid… … .
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Rosenita’s fans seemed disappointed, but fortunately no one was overly immersed and really criticized Almond’s choice.
“… … Ah, almonds.”
A trembling voice was heard from behind.
It’s a thin, familiar voice.
‘Emilia?’
Emilia came to what was the middle of the battlefield.
Of course, the knights were appalled.
Everyone was clamoring to send her somewhere else immediately. Because this place may still be dangerous. But Emilia didn’t care and ran straight towards the almond.
He ran over and hugged Almond.
I hugged her as tightly as my slender arms would allow.
