Genius Archer's Streaming

The atmosphere in the chat room becextremely downcast. Not only had AK47 lost the game, but the manner of his defeat was utterly devastating.

Most of the posts on Embul criticized him.

Not only did he stream snipe and use a highly criticized tactic, but…

To top it all off, AK47 ended the gwith a rage quit. Although it wasn’t intentional, everyone else treated it as such.

As a result, Almond and BornToB had to wait for ten minutes. OrangeKing unleashed a legendary ten minute rant filled with expletives. It was a war where no honor or benefits were gained on both sides.

The chat members grew divided. Seven went as far as capturing and posting AK47's contact profile.

Of course, it didn’t display his phone number. They only posted AK47's default profile after he had already locked all his profiles and gone into hiding.

Even in real life, Embul users felt astounded by AK47's decision to go into hiding.

Expressions of dismay and derision dominated the comments. Subsequently, users analyzed what could have caused AK47's meltdown.

Ssuggested that seeing Almond casually enjoying the gcould have infuriated AK47 even more.

Others believed that the clip of OrangeKing venting during the ten minute wait was what did it. Whatever the case, the situation was utterly humiliating for AK47 from all angles. It was a classic case of public admonishment.

Although OrangeKing and the Embul users didn't intend for it, it ended up that way. After AK47 was publicly humiliated, no one dared to stream snipe anymore.

Even when someone asked if they were stream sniping or not.

The so-called Elite Four simply exchanged unrelated messages despite continual prodding from others.

Almond and BornToB started another gand continued playing.

The Four Kings ended the conversation as if they were done for the day.

They acted as if they had been stream sniping and playing several games themselves. SandSpoon was bewildered by their attitude.

However, SandSpoon himself didn't have the courage to stream snipe.

Eventually, he left a message suggesting he was also done for the day and disappeared.

Chi-Seung, who had been watching this chat room, smirked to himself.

He thought it would be a long battle if these guys really set out to stream snipe in earnest. Was this really the end?

Of course, they could return tomorrow as if nothing ever happened.

“Kimchi Warrior? You suddenly went silent. Is the gtoo boring for you!?” OrangeKing called out from next to him.

Kimchi Warrior had been lost in thought and hadn't said anything in a while.

“Ah… I was just lost in thought for a moment...”

The current gwas against an unknown foreign commander. Obviously, it wasn't a stream snipe and the opponent had no clue about BornToB’s aggressive archer strategy.

The opponent naively opted for a standard build and dreamed of quickly reaching the third era to dominate the map with a strong military force.

However, Almond decimated fifteen of his workers in the transition to the second era.

“Ah! The workers are getting massacred!!”

OrangeKing was naturally excited to announce this. The gwas practically over.

“Another promotion match is just around the corner for Almond and BornToB!”

If they won this game, Almond would reach another promotion match. With a win there, he’d reach A+ rank. After that, he wouldn't need to practice with BornToB anymore. Instead, he’d move on to rank up with the junior member of the actual national team.

That would make things much easier than now, allowing him to gain a wider range of experience and improve his skills.

Meanwhile, Almond killed three more enemy workers.

“Eighteen workers down! It wouldn’t be surprising if the enemy surrenders right now!”

Having just transitioned to the second era, the opponent helplessly lost workers to Almond’s incursion.

Chi-Seung even pitied the opponent who just managed to produce sarchers and sent them naively against Almond. Of course, they were no match.

The massacre of workers depleted the opponent's resources while BornToB continued recruiting more archers on his side.

Almond’s archers began to accumulate at the enemy base.

“Ah! The gis almost over!?”

Almond and his archers invaded the enemy base and took over more resources. Although the archers couldn't directly attack the town hall, the gwas effectively over.

However, the opposing commander didn't quit.

“Ah! Does this commander have incredible perseverance!? Is it because he’s from a Nordic country and doesn’t care much since 70% of it goes to taxes!?” OrangeKing joked that the commander was from a Nordic country.

Usually, BornToB stepped in to swiftly resolve such situations.

The effect was tremendous.

“Yay. Another win! Currently, BornToB and Almond are on an unbeaten run. They’ve reached the A+ promotion match!”

With that, the match concluded. A drum resounded and a message appeared.

Almond finally reached the A+ promotion match. It was around 11 P.M. so he would continue with it another time.

“It’s best to call it a day.”

“Ah, that’s right. Adequate rest is also a part of training!”

OrangeKing and Kimchi Warrior exchanged farewells. Almond also bid goodbye to BornToB.

“You worked hard today as well, BornToB.”

“Thanks, Almond. It seems like we don’t have much tleft together…”

BornToB seemed saddened by the impending separation from Almond.

Although the viewers playfully teased BornToB, Almond had grown fond of him. It felt somewhat bittersweet.

“Yeah, let’s play together again sometime.”

Almond wasn’t just making a formal statement and truly meant it.

“Really?”

“Yeah, I’ll contact you after the national competition.”

“Wow, thanks!”

BornToB vanished with a bubbly laugh reminiscent of bubblegum popping.

“Everyone, it was fun today.”

Almond concluded his stream.

“Bye Treevy!”

He prepared to leave the capsule.

The dedicated capsule opened with a soft noise and Sang-Hyeon sat up.

He let out a deep breath for no particular reason.

“...”

Sang-Hyeon stared blankly into space. Someone had occupied his thoughts all day.

Today, he had encountered the 18th ranked player, Jancos. Jancos seemed to be a level higher than the other veteran knights he met before.

What if he encountered Jessie as an opponent? What rank was Jessie?

Sang-Hyeon’s curiosity about veteran knights began to grow.

The knights' first strength was their gear. The equipment they heavily invested in was difficult for Sang-Hyeon, a mere archer, to penetrate.

What if he switched to the knight class to fight them?

Sang-Hyeon shook his head.

He doubted his combat prowess without a bow could match them.

Just then, his phone vibrated.

Sang-Hyeon picked up his phone tucked away in a corner of the capsule.

It was Kimchi Warrior.

He wasn’t sure what it would be about, but he agreed since he was free at 1 P.M.

Cookie was the commander of the national team. He was the most knowledgeable and skilled person in this gin the country. He was offering to explain the rules of the national competition to Sang-Hyeon.

That was undoubtedly a good thing, but Sang-Hyeon felt puzzled.

If he didn’t reach S+ rank, he wouldn’t even be able to register for the national team roster. If he didn't reach S+ rank, what would happen then? Cookie would be explaining the rules to someone who didn’t make the team.

It seemed like a genuine act of goodwill. Cookie was even considering Almond for next year.

That was Kimchi Warrior’s last message.

Sang-Hyeon put down his phone and thought for a moment. He recalled the movements of the veteran knights he previously faced.

No, Almond wasn’t even part of the national team yet. He quickly dismissed the thought.
