Genius Archer Streaming Season 2 Episode 76
28. Proof (1)
-OMG Hawk Eye just lost his job lol
└he already did years ago… …
└rofl
“Hawkeye just lost his job. He lost it a long time ago… … This is hilarious.”
Joohyuk is translating the comment in a dry tone.
Because Sang-Hyeon jumped out of bed and asked what on earth was going on.
Sang-Hyeon knows almost all of English, but he is certain that he heard it through Joo-Hyeok.
-whaaat??
-What kind of program is that? Any guess?
└nothing… …
└I haven’t seen anything that can be performed like that
“What kind of program is it? Can you think of anything? None… … I’ve never seen anything like that… … .”
Joohyuk adjusts his glasses and adds his overall comment.
“It seems like the reaction is that it’s almost certain that there will be a nuclear attack. There’s nothing we can do about it, since we put up the title like this… … .”
“ah…….”
Sang-Hyeon’s expression became blank.
You think they’re all nuclear?
“There are compliments too.”
“compliment?”
Is there anyone who thinks it’s not nuclear?
Joohyuk scrolls down and tries to translate as best he can.
-Since when Chinese guy looks so cute?
└I think he is Korean… … .
“Since when have Chinese guys been this cute? He’s Korean… … something like that.”
“… … .”
As of now, the response is not very helpful.
‘It’s nice to be noticed, but… … .’
It’s a great honor for a player to be mistaken for a hacker.
Assuming it turns out he’s not a nuclear bomber.
Sang-Hyeon let out a sigh of relief.
‘Will that work?’
I remembered that unfair account suspension during Battle Large.
And, back in the old days when nuclear weapons were rampant, there were many streamers who claimed that they had been treated unfairly.
Sang-Hyeon, who didn’t think much of it at the time, now thinks that maybe they really were wronged.
“What’s with your expression? If we do this well, our channel can make another big leap forward. There hasn’t been much growth since the Lil Nant battle.”
Joo-hyuk seems to think this is his chance. He looks happy.
“But I think it’ll be a bit tiring if my account gets suspended again like it did during Battle Large.”
Joo-hyuk waved his hand at Sang-hyeon’s worries.
“Hey. It was an accident during Battle Large. I guess they won’t stop you just because you reported it once. But… … .”
Joohyuk kept looking at the comments.
“That’s because I didn’t read the harsh language. Nuclear warlocks have been an issue for quite some time now, so there are a lot of people who curse at them. Of course, in the case of the comments on this video, that’s you.”
“I see.”
Well, Sang-Hyeon didn’t really care about the swearing. It didn’t really bother him that people on the other side of the world he didn’t know were swearing in English instead of Korean.
I just hope it doesn’t get stopped.
“But I heard that games these days are immune to hacking programs. This one doesn’t seem to be the case.”
In response to Sang-Hyeon’s question, Joo-Hyeok looked up a passage on Namu Wiki and recited it.
“Since it is a PvP game where up to 1,200 people can compete in the national team competition, almost all performance has been optimized. Because of this, various minor bugs or illegal programs cannot be caught. In fact, considering the scale, it is easy to block critical bugs… … .”
Yes.
Even in Reel, which can boast of being a high-performance game, up to 10 people can fight.
In Civil M, if it were to be a team battle, theoretically, as many as 1,200 people could fight on one battlefield.
They had to devote all their manpower to optimizing and bug-fixing this vast amount of data.
Asking them to catch illegal programs too is, in a way, greedy.
“Well… … I still catch them whenever I find them. There hasn’t been a hack so big that it crashes the game. It’s just hard to make something like that in a capsule-based game.”
Joohyuk also read other miscellaneous stories.
There are rumors that the balance of civilization is adjusted in that country’s favor because a certain country’s company sponsors it a lot…
“Hey. In countries where Civil Empire is popular, it seems like local companies are secretly pressuring the national competition by advertising a few months before.”
I see. It feels strange.
‘But this has nothing to do with me right now.’
In any case, for Sang-Hyeon, who is currently only playing the ‘Basic War’, things like balance between civilizations or national competitions are stories from a far away land.
“Okay. Thank you. Let’s go to sleep. Now.”
I’m quite sleepy, probably because I woke up from sleep.
He puts these thoughts out of his head and goes to sleep to prepare for tomorrow.
* * *
next day.
Joo-hyuk, Sang-hyun, and Ji-ah headed to a large warehouse mart.
This is because there were a lot of things to prepare in advance for the fan meeting.

Driving was, of course, Joohyuk’s job.
Jia sat in the passenger seat and Sanghyun sat in the back seat.
“Oh. But, almonds.”
Zia, in the passenger seat, spoke while looking at the rearview mirror.
“I checked the video I uploaded on my way here. Who left a weird comment?”
“comment?”
What kind of comment is that?
Tiring.
She sent me a link in a message.
[Gia: (link)]
[Gia: This is it]
When I went in, I saw that it was one of Almond’s YouTube videos.
Upload time was about two hours ago.
[Ah, this cool and heavy feeling… … .]
It was a video with this unknown title.
There was a scene where Almond took up a bow and slaughtered the cavalry.
“Are those shorts?”
It was a short video less than a minute long.
“Yeah. That’s the process I’m using these days. I start by releasing them all as 1-minute shorts, and if they get a good response, I edit them to make 20-30 minute ones.”
“ah…….”
I was wondering why the Civil Empire video was already uploaded, but it seems it was possible because it was only 1 minute long.
“Anyway. That’s not important. Look at the comments.”
I could tell what comment to look at without even having to ask.
It was the best comment.
-Earmond, we are the administrators of Civil M. Your play is unbelievably awesome. Maybe that’s why so many people are questioning… … .
It was such an awkwardly worded comment.
Numerous replies have already started to appear below.
└ㅁㅊㅋㅋ Is this real?
└It’s real, upload it
└Almonds okay lol it’s so funny lol
└Why did you report me again? ㅋㅋㅋ
└Ah, you don’t know that! Oh no! Just let me play!

“Should I contact them?”
Sang-Hyeon turns his gaze towards Joo-Hyeok, who is driving.
“Um. Right. But… … Let’s think about it after today is over.”
After a while, they arrived at the parking lot of a large warehouse-style mart.
* * *
The way from the parking lot to the mart.
Someone comes and asks.
“Hello. Are you Almond?”
At first, Sang-hyun thought that his fan recognized his face, but then Joo-hyuk suddenly walked out and said this.
“Oh. That’s right. I’m sorry you’ve been waiting for a long time. There was a bit of traffic… … I’m Manager Kim Joo-hyuk.”
“No. I just got here. I’m planner Jeong Ho-yoon.”
Planner?
Jia and Sang-hyun just stare at each other blankly.
He introduces himself as a planner and hands out his business card to Ji-ah and Sang-hyun.
“My name is Jeong Ho-yoon, a party planner and space designer. I was introduced to you by PD Jang.”
PD Jang?
Sang-Hyeon wonders for a moment who it is, then realizes and is shocked.
Weren’t you the main PD at Evening Wide?
“Ah. I asked you. I was wondering if there was anyone who would know someone like this, and PD Jang told me to contact him anytime if I needed help.”
“ah…….”
Only then does Sang-Hyeon take a quick look at the other person’s impression.
Jeong Ho-yoon had a sad and somewhat delicate impression. He was the type of person who was easy to work with.
“Shall we go?”
Jeong Ho-yoon took the lead together with Joo-hyuk.
After entering the mart, Jia and Sanghyun didn’t have much to do.
The two of them each put the things they needed for the party into the cart one by one.
“You can draw stripes on this balloon to make it into the almond shape you mentioned. These days, some balloons come in the shape of rugby balls.”
“Oh! It looks good. You happen to have brown in it?”
“Yes. If four people draw with thick magic markers, it will probably be done quickly. A party like this needs to have a homemade flavor to make it look warm.”
“Ahaha. Right.”
Ji-ah and Sang-hyun are in a situation where they just have to choose what to eat from behind.
It’s like children following their parents to the grocery store.
“Let’s choose what to eat. Almonds.”
“Yeah. That’s me.”
“Wow… … Scotch Candy Almond… … .”
“why?”
“no…….”
Jia picked it up, giggling as if she couldn’t stop herself.
* * *
14:00.
Sang-Hyeon was alone in the house of Hugye-Dong.
The grocery shopping at the mart was finished before 12 o’clock, but Joo-hyuk and Ji-ah are still in a meeting at the cafe because they have more things to prepare with the planner, and Sang-hyun came home first for the broadcast.
He sat down on the computer desk chair where Joohyuk usually sat. He threw his head back and started spinning around.
“It’s been a while… … I feel alone… … .”
The house that is left alone seems to have an empty feeling.
“The two of you have a lot to prepare… … Ah.”
Sang-Hyeon stopped spinning around as if he remembered something.
Are you trying to turn on the broadcast first?
“Hmm.”
He goes into the kitchen, opens the cupboard, and takes out some almonds.
Of course, I wasn’t planning on broadcasting, I was planning on eating almonds.
After scooping out a handful of almonds as desired.
He pours a glass of milk next to him and takes it back to the computer.
“It reminds me of the old days.”
In the past, when Joo-hyuk wasn’t around, I would often eat like this and watch bubble gum broadcasts alone.
“Let’s figure this out.”
Instead of watching the broadcast or doing something, he tries to solve the problem he found out today.
-Earmond, we are the administrators of Civil M. Your play is unbelievably cool. Maybe that’s why so many people are wondering… … .
This exact comment.
“But why did you leave a comment on my YouTube channel?”
Normally I would send it as a private message, but strangely, these guys came all the way to YouTube and left comments. Should I say they are doing a good job or not…?
Sang-Hyeon checked his email just in case.
“Ah. You sent it.”
The administrator has already sent an email.
However, since Koreans generally rarely check their emails, I think they tried to contact me in advance somehow.
“There was an in-game message too.”
I clicked [Consult] in the in-game message without even clicking on the comment link, and received a call right away.
[Hello. My name is Yoo Hye-won, the person in charge. Are you the user ‘Earmond’ who has been reported as a hacker?]
It seems to be real time.
[Yes, that’s right. But I didn’t use a nuclear weapon. I don’t even know how to use one.]
Sang-Hyeon first asserted his innocence.
[Yes, User. However, when we monitored your movements at headquarters, we found that they were ‘difficult to understand’.]
What is this? Sang-Hyeon was confused.
I didn’t know they would take nuclear weapons this seriously.
“I’m good at it… … .”
At the same time, Almond does not forget to admire his own outstanding skills.
No matter how great your skills are, they are useless if you get stopped from playing the game.
He once again asserted his innocence.
[If you check, you’ll see that I’ve never used such a program. I’m just too good at games.]
Up until this point, I honestly wasn’t that worried. I thought there was no way I would get stopped.
This is not an easy thought. It is a natural thought.
Well, that’s because I didn’t use nukes!
[Oh, yes^^ We are not suspicious of you, but we ask for your understanding as we have received a total of 23 reports of illegal program users, so we have to go through the verification process.]
23 cases?
What the heck… … .
‘Is it because of that video?’
Are people in their right mind reporting a complete stranger just because of that one video? I was a little taken aback.
[Oh, yes. How do I check?]
[First, our observer will share the screen with you one-on-one during your connection time and watch you. You must agree to this.]
‘You’re going to watch?’
To put it nicely, it’s analogical, and to put it badly, it’s an ignorant method.
It wasn’t a method that a company that makes cutting-edge games would use.
Only then did Sang-Hyeon remember the story Joo-Hyeok had told him today.
「… … We focused on optimizing all the performance. Because of that, we were unable to catch all sorts of bugs and illegal programs… … 」
I guess these people really don’t have the technology to remotely detect nukes.
Sang-Hyeon had no choice but to agree.
[Thank you for your consent. From now on, the observer will watch three games. The screen will be shared with Amond’s capsule. Please note that the exact decision will be made later.]
I feel quite wronged.
However, he is now a streamer too.
click.
[Screenshot saved.]
Even though I find myself thinking it’s unfair, I find myself capturing the entire conversation.
[Sang-Hyeon: Ji-Ah. Look at this.]
And I’m sending it to the editor.
I think it will probably attract quite a bit of attention.
[Jia: It’s thrilling~]
fantasy,
