Genius Archer's Streaming Season 1 Episode 46

16. phone misfortune(4)

Originally, it was something I kept secret even from my colleagues who did archery with me..

It wasn't a topic to talk about carelessly..

However, there is no way a person of Han Tae-ho's stature is so soft-spoken..

Sanghyun decided to bet on that..

your own story.

‘Maybe you'll like it.’

This is content that adults will enjoy.

No, this is a story that most people would sympathize with..

That's why it was hidden.

But Sanghyun opened his mouth..

* * *

‘I played archery……?’

Director Oh couldn't hide his surprise as he reflected on Sanghyeon's words in his mind..

Those wide eyes immediately turned to Director Taeho Han..

‘this…….’

50What is the way men who live successful lives around the university play??

Generally prefer static sports.

And I like hobbies that have a bit of scale and that not just anyone can imitate..

Because I don't want to get involved with these idiots..

‘It's awesome?’

Things like billiards and baduk are not considered. Because anyone can do it easily.

So it’s mostly golf. A sport that costs a lot of money and time to get on the field..

But these days, golf has become very popular, and there is a tendency to refer to it as a dog or a cow in vulgar terms..

So sometimes upper class people with unusual tastes look elsewhere..

One of them is ‘archery’..

Tae-ho Han had recently turned his attention from golf to archery..

‘I hit it right?’

In Director Oh’s opinion, Han Tae-ho likes Yoo Sang-hyun right now. No, he may have already gone beyond his liking. He looked like he could make it to his next appointment..

“It’s archery… … I didn't expect that..”

Tae-ho Han answered without much agitation, but to Director Oh, it was all obvious..

There is already a lot of interest shown..

“why did you quit?”

“I had to quit due to injury..”

Hearing Sang-hyeon's words, Tae-ho Han remembered the strange feeling his right hand had when shaking hands..

“ah… … Is that your right hand? I was shaking for a moment when we shook hands earlier..”

“yes.”

“That's too bad. What happened?”

“It was an accident that occurred on the way back from winning the gold medal at the domestic championships..”

“……her?”

That makes you a world champion, right? Tae-ho Han looks back at Director Oh. He nods his head enthusiastically too..

“I know. Mr. Sanghyun. That's too bad. How old was that??”

“19It's time to buy.”

“19fat? only?”

“Oh no. I'm only 17 years old..”

Tae-ho Han and Director Oh look at each other in surprise for a moment..

‘It's not a record?’

Even for an outsider, it is an incredible record..

“I didn't give up right away after that. I held on to it secretly until I was 22..”

“ah…….”

I dragged it on for a whopping three years, unable to give up. At that point, Director Oh and Tae-ho Han's expressions became confused..

“I couldn't get over it. So, with the help of my coach, I got a job at Asung Trading. It's not a place I went into based on my skills..”

“……”

“Being in a place that didn't fit the bowl naturally created noise, and that's when I became interested in virtual reality games. There──”

“Your right hand is fine.!”

Tae-ho Han cut Sang-hyeon off without realizing it and interrupted him. It's because I was too absorbed in it..

Sanghyun nodded..

“yes… … . I was able to shoot well there. I wanted to do this like I was possessed. He needed to make money, so he thought of becoming a streamer..”

“No, but then why did I start playing the game??”

“Before that, I didn't really think about it. I only focused on company work. Her grandmother is still alive, so she has no time to regret archery, which she did 10 years ago. Even if I knew that my right hand would work properly in virtual reality, I probably wouldn't have been that interested at the time..”

“Right…….”

If this was a job interview, it would have been a free pass..

Sanghyun felt that way..

Han Tae-ho's expression looked like he had become Yoo Sang-hyun..

“Life doesn't really go as planned.”

Squeak.

Han Tae-ho said as he poured alcohol into Sang-hyeon’s glass..

“It's a bit common, but that's why it's fun. If things had gone the way they wanted, it might have been even worse. I was just a pathetic guy whose dream was to be unemployed, right? Look, I achieved that. He must have been an asshole. By now.”

Han Tae-ho looks up for a moment as if he is remembering his childhood..

“Fortunately, the world didn't leave me like that. Because for a man to have a family, he has to take responsibility. Thanks to that, I actually like things better now. Hanryang, an unemployed man, can't eat Touji's sushi..”

ha ha ha. He smiled and savored the sushi in one bite..

“I'm sure you'll do well too..”

“yes. thank you.”

Sanghyun politely raised his glass and drank, answering..

“Basically, the more things you carry on your shoulders, the stronger you become. You don't become stronger when you carry something, you become stronger at that moment. Amazingly.”

“that's right. that's right. Mr. Sanghyun. I'm sure it will work out. I heard you started a new game this time? ah! right. however──”

Director Oh stopped talking as if he suddenly remembered something..

‘Now was the time to say it…….’

The topic Sanghyun wanted stopped for a moment. When I asked how the new game was going, I was going to talk about Battle Large..

But what Director Oh said was even more precious than that..

“I know what this is?”

“……?”

What appeared on the pad he took out was a graph. A sharply upward-sloping graph that may make you think, “I wish my stocks were like that.”.

“Kingdom Sales.”

“!”

“Check out the reviews here.”

Director Oh scrolled down and showed the purchase review comments..

-I bought Almond after watching it broadcast.~

-I watched Almond’s broadcast. This game is really well made.

-Emilia's knight ending. It was touching. However, I came to buy it myself to choose Rosenita..

-Even people who play this game for the first time can play like Almond, right? Or please give me a refund~~

-Wow, it’s cheaper than you think? I heard it was super high quality. But please add some types of bows..

-A game where you can feel the romance of medieval mercenaries. Only if you can do it like almonds.

-Almond, I am looking at and purchasing a medieval war god. It's so well made. Of course, I really feel bad for making it so difficult that most people can't even feel the war..

……It was mostly about almonds..

Is it just those things that have been edited?…….

“With this, we now have a fairly strong say in this production company..”

Taeho Han, who saw the graph together, was also surprised..

“No, was there something like this, Chief Oh? That's awesome. From a distributor's perspective, it is very important whether a promotion works or not.…….”

“Of course, the graph may be a little exaggerated. Before that, sales were so low. However, if you look at the time it was uploaded or the reviews, the factors are clear..”

Han Tae-ho's eyes turned to Sang-hyeon..

No matter what anyone says, the factor was almonds..

Punk's partner streamer, Almond.

“you. It's amazing?”

“thank you.”

“No, it's true. At this rate, I guess what I said earlier wasn't nonsense. That it will be successful.”

haha…….

Sanghyun smiled awkwardly..

‘No, was it that effective??’

Even he didn't know that kind of data..

It was amazing. How can sales increase so much?.

Director Oh had more luck..

“He definitely has star quality.?”

“I know. The charm of the person itself is clearly different..”

The two of them now looked at the graph and talked, leaving Sanghyun out..

“Originally, I was planning to report it to you tomorrow. I brought it out today to let Sanghyun know as well..”

“Well done.”

“ah… … But Sanghyun, I don’t play this game anymore..”

“uh? is it? but… … You can't keep playing package games.”

Han Tae-ho's gaze returned to Sang-hyeon..

“What did you play next??”

It was the moment I had been waiting for.

Sanghyun answered calmly and clearly..

“This is Battle Raj.”

“oh. My son says that often too. Mainly done by people in their 20s and 30s?”

“yes.”

“How is it going??”

“that is…….”

The guns are open, now all you have to do is shoot.

“There was a problem.”

* * *

next day.

As soon as he got to work, assistant manager Kim Ki-yeol was called..

‘Shit. what?’

Since he had already been involved in a stabbing incident recently, I had a bad feeling at all when he was called..

“Boss. Did you call me??”

Moreover, the place I was called to was none other than the manager's office..

The manager was there too..

“sit down.”

I could already feel it in the manager’s voice..

‘ah. That's it.’

What Kim Ki-yeol did previously has come to the surface..

‘I deleted all the community posts. Did it leak??’

Still, it was fortunate that the manager caught me. Anyway, the manager will probably try to cover this up..

After a while, users will completely forget about it..

It's just a matter of hearing one thing and it's over..

Although that in itself was a very bad thing... … Still, it is different from being directly disciplined..

“This morning. I know where I've been?”

“?”

Kim Ki-yeol was dumbfounded for a moment by that question..

‘Where have you been?……?’

The only person who can call a manager is above him..

‘I didn't receive a report... … I came here with orders.?’

Kim Ki-yeol clearly thought that the manager found out after receiving a report from someone below him. Because that's the normal route.

But the manager points upward with his finger..

This means that it is not a report from below, but a notification from above..

“executive office.”

“!”

“The managing director. I heard something strange.”

The manager just lowered his head with a miserable expression, and Kim Ki-yeol's body was shaking..

He didn't have enough time right now to fill his head just thinking about where to focus his eyes..

Cold sweat poured down my face..

“almond. You know who it is?”

That was straight to the point..

no one answered.

“almond. You know who it is, right? If I make you ask one more time, you'll all think you're screwed..”

thud.

The sound of my heart pounding sounded like an auditory hallucination. It was really rare for the manager to use such harsh language..

Kuuk.

The hard shoes of the manager sitting next to him stepped on Kim Ki-yeol's feet. The scream that came out in pain became an answer.

“……yes. Who, I know who it is..”

“hmm. I know?”

The manager lifted his heavy chin and glared at Kim Ki-yeol. It was a look in his eyes that wouldn't be strange even if he buried a person right away..

“Then I won't say any more. I'm the one who's going anyway.”

“!?”

Kim Ki-yeol’s eyes widened..

“Why are you surprised? Why do I have to get angry at someone who will go away anyway? If you get angry, you only do it to the bastard you need to fix..”

“Ha, but… … This is something like that──”

bang!

I couldn't continue my conversation because the manager slammed the desk..

“I know where you got the call from the managing director.?”

“……”

“Don't you know? I don't know, so I'm saying this isn't a big deal right now.?”

The manager unfolded his flexible pad and showed it to me..

[Punk Partner Streamer]

These words were written at the top, and the profiles of partner streamers were listed below..

“I didn't even look for basic things that can be found with just a few clicks of a finger, so I just tried to cover up my mistakes.?”

“……!”

Among the list of partner streamers, I saw a familiar name..

[Almond / Sanghyun Yoo]

Unbelievable…….

Kim Ki-yeol covered his mouth..

‘It was a Hakko who could only see a thousand things.……?’

I couldn't even imagine it. Punk's partner with that many viewers?.

“Even if you make a good game for 100 days, you know what happens if Punk doesn’t include an event, right? But mess with your punk partner? And without any basis?!”

“…….”

“This guy increased the sales of the Kingdom Age game by 5 times. So, it’s worth calling the managing director right away, right? yes?”

“……”

“ruler. What will you do now??”

Kim Ki-yeol couldn't say anything..

widely.

The manager folded the flexible pad again..

“Covering up small things and handling them. This happens often in corporate organizations. But... I always say this. You can commit a crime. But if you want to be a criminal, you have to be really good. You have to be several times smarter than the average person.”

“…….”

“When I saw you, you two weren't those kind of guys? Just live honestly~ Don't bother me~ Uh?”

“Department, manager. jeon──”

“No, I don't listen anymore. Write a letter of apology and prepare for the disciplinary committee. I'll leave the almonds to another team..”

The manager's gaze turned to his monitor again..

“What are you doing? I'm not going out. call security?”

“……I'm going out.”

After the two idiots left, the manager said, ‘Tsk tsk…’ … .' He clicked his tongue and connected the phone..

“uh. Team 2. Almond suspension lifted? uh. okay. Good job. I'm going in to do an Almond commercial with Punk. Get ready. okay. Expect? We need to get rid of all the aggro..”
