Genius Archer's Stream Part 2 - Episode 282
12. Sniper Bug (Physical)(3)
Success at once?
“suggestion… … If that's the case, there's no need to do that..”
It was hard for Almond to think that this sniping would succeed in one go..
But Hannah shakes her head and says one more time.
“Our company ‘strongly’ recommends this. Your personal life is our property..”
“…….”
-When Agent A of your company died, you just coolly handed him over to Almond.??
-Is this our recommendation? Hannah.?
-This is a very personal recommendation haha.
“Please answer me. I need your confirmation..”
I felt like the game would only proceed if I answered that I knew this..
“okay.”
Hannah seemed to slightly raise the corners of her mouth..
“Operator 03. Sidekick Hanna. Agent Almond. We will proceed with the operation. The goal is to snipe from point 8 to the point of impact and then escape and survive if the first shot fails..”
Hannah listened for a moment to what the operator was saying..
“yes. It's alive.”
It's crazy.
Then, a voice is immediately heard through Almond’s in-ears..
[This is Operator 03. Agent Almond. kill the target…….]
“In-ear communication is blocked to concentrate on the current time..”
Communication was suddenly cut off..
-??
-What?
-Hahaha as expected
-I want to save Hanna.
-Wow
-You idiots, stop your delusions.~
* * *
In reality, ultra-long-distance sniping required a level that went far beyond simply being good at shooting a gun..
Controlling your breathing and pulling the trigger with perfect shoulder pressure are obvious requirements..
It took patience to wait for hours and the will to not move even if bugs crawled around inside my body for a long time..
Where is this??
Just finding a position to shoot a gun is difficult..
Even though the bullet appears to fly in a straight line, it draws a subtle parabola..
This doesn't really matter at close range..
Just by adjusting the gun's sights, you can shoot thinking it's straight enough..
What if you shoot it from a distance of more than 1 kilometer??
I had to think of it as firing small shells, not bullets..
The sniper must calculate this angle himself or have a soldier nearby to calculate it..
Another problem arises here.
There are so many variables that go into this calculation..
Altitude and distance are natural, the strength and direction of the wind, the resulting speed of the bullet, and even the rotation of the Earth and, to a lesser extent, temperature and humidity..
All of these factors are not very meaningful in short-range shooting, but they are huge variables in sniping..
The longer the bullets have to travel, the more impact they have..
Of course, the game doesn't ask the player to take all of this into account..
Because if that were the case, no one would really succeed..
“I will do the basic calculations for you..”
First of all, Hanna will help you with the basic shooting points..
So there are far fewer things for players to consider..
“However, since the wind changes in real time, you must reflect it yourself. If the enemy's location changes, you must reflect it directly..”
Variables that snipers consider are wind and enemy movement..
There is little chance of the enemy moving here, so the wind is the only variable..
It is a very simple sniper compared to actual sniping where you only need to add aiming ability..
‘Even so, it is difficult.’
There are only so-called ‘low-quality’ variables..
It was a mission that could only be succeeded if you had the skills of a top-level character in an FPS game..
3.5㎞ That's what sniping is like..
“target. I sat in the conference room.”
Hannah said while looking through binoculars..
“Start aiming now.”
Almond looks through the scope again..
A long table can be seen between the windows with sparse blinds..
There are many figures of people sitting around there..
‘what is.’
The distortion of the lens was so severe that it was hard to tell..
Meanwhile, one red dot is barely visible..
‘……Is that it?.’
It was information provided by location from a satellite..
The shooting point suggested by Hannah is displayed there..
It's green.
Almond swallowed dry saliva..
gulp.
The aim point can be returned after missing for a long time just by the movement of the uvula and the resulting movement of the fine facial muscles..
‘Breath.’
Almond controls his breathing by following the breathing techniques he learned in archery..
inhalation and exhalation.
Movement of the aiming point accordingly.
Identify this pattern.
There is no human being who can remain motionless..
There is always movement.
All you have to do is pattern this and shoot at the timing closest to the aiming point during that pattern..
-I'm nervous ㄷㄷ
-Wow Mr.…….
-Does it work??
At some point, even chatting started to slow down..
Inhale.
he stops breathing.
And, without a moment's hesitation, the index finger of the trigger was pulled..
Clap.
* * *
gone.
Joo-hyuk asked back after flipping through the documents..
“therefore… … It's not a game play ad, but actually a game representative model ad.?”
The type of advertisement was quite different from what he expected..
“yes. You can see it that way. However, the advertising video itself will be a gameplay video. So, it’s not like we rent a filming studio and make a big commercial..”
This is a method often used these days in advertising using models..
A streamer naturally plays a game and plays the game as an advertisement..
Although it looks a little cheap, it is more effective than vaguely grandiose advertisements..
‘Anyway, it's an advertising model..’
Whatever it is, almond faces will be featured in the advertising videos they release..
In that case, Almond's image will be consumed along with their image..
‘It makes more money this way.’
Images are consumed, but the pay is also high..
So these offers usually only go to celebrities. Because the image value of celebrities is much higher..
It is quite rare for streamers to come to us like this..
Usually, streamers are naturally given advertisements asking them to play the game..
Because intimacy is their strength.
But now they are suggesting Almond as an advertising model..
It was such an incredible treatment that Joo Hyuk couldn't understand the reason..
‘If you look at the contract, it is correct..’
I looked into it for a while to see if I misunderstood it, but as expected, there was nothing strange..
“Fay is…….”
“ah. Here it is.”
Sussssuk.
A number written separately on a note.
“……hmm.”
Joo-hyuk tilts his head for a moment..
‘Slightly lower than industry standards.’
Considering the size of the company and the scale of Almond, a broadcaster, it was a reasonable amount..
Like I said, this is something celebrities do..
‘Honestly, it's too good for us.…….’
It was an industry standard, and it was a pretty good offer from their perspective..
however─
“It's far below the industry standard..”
widely.
Joo-hyuk puts down the contract as if he is in a bad mood..
“yes… … yes?”
He made a prickly expression at the very firm tone, but then his expression hardened as well..
“Huh, no, manager. I didn't know it would come out like this... … It's tailored to the streamer's conditions..”
He looks a little offended..
Is it directing? Or is it real?
Either way, it's not that strange..
Actually, the conditions they put forward are good conditions for a streamer..
Because they treated me as if I had released something absurd..
Of course, there is a reason why Joo Hyuk takes this stance..
‘I think I can take more.’
He smelled it..
‘I don't know why, but I really want this contract..’
Didn’t they say that even in a love fight, the person you like more ultimately loses??
The same goes for contracts..
The one who wants more, the more I have..
So this deal was overwhelmingly advantageous to Joo Hyuk..
but… … why?
Joo-hyuk's eyes observe everywhere..
‘because. why…….’
Now if we could just figure out why these people want this, we could push it further..
‘Should I just ask??’
It may be okay to ask outright.
「Why are you offering us an advertising model? This isn't usually done for streamers..」
Like this.
It’s straightforward and how convenient it is.?
But nuance matters..
‘Are you asking why they treat us so well?.’
It's such a nice treat. You can shave it.
……There is room for interpretation..
‘then…….’
If you change your words just a little, you can get the answer you want without all the nuance..
Joo-hyuk decides to talk back a little..
“Hitman Simulator… … It doesn't seem like an appropriate game to consume almond images at the same time. Did you take that into consideration when writing the payment??”
Almond and image do not match.
So the pay needs to be raised more..
It sounds like you are making this claim, but.
If I try to answer this, I have no choice but to say.
“This is the image?”
“yes. The main part of almonds is ‘bow’. This is just shooting guns in the open. He's not even an agent of the National Intelligence Service, but a hitman. Isn’t this a contract murder job??”
“…….”
They need to say why almonds fit this ad.
Then, I had no choice but to answer the question of why they chose almonds as their model..
* * *
‘ha. That's right…….’
Manager Lee.
Actually, he also has a problem..
「Our company is ambiguous. Honestly, there is a certain scale. Awareness is low. If this happens, investors will be reluctant for no reason..」
It's because of what the CEO of Hitman's production company said..
「In times like these, there should be a plan for a famous advertising model.…….」
Yes, celebrity advertising model.
Let's do that..
But, there has to be a celebrity..
no money.
「How about this? This time, at G-Star, we signed a contract with a streamer who seems to produce the best videos. He is the most well-known and skilled person..」
It was like that..
The CEO came forward to sign a contract among the streamers who visited G-Star..
‘ha. CEO. Choice is gone.’
But now, a guy named Almond has come and lost all my challenge points..
If this happens, streamers won’t come. Shouldn’t you come if you have something to gain??
「We don't have money, but we have brains, right? I'm making a point in a slightly seductive way... … hotly…….」
Let's say we give difficulty and challenge points per kill. The maximum looks really high. But if you try it, it doesn't work out well..
This is the CEO's idea..
‘This is a nice shot from the CEO. yes.’
Yes.
The CEO really blew it away..
Now, if we want to follow what the CEO said, we have no choice but to sign a contract with Almond..
The CEO used this G-Star as an excuse to threaten to find a good advertising model..
‘What should you do with me?.’
“Manager?”
When the manager doesn't answer for a while, Joo-hyuk asks one more time..
“Huh. ah… … hmm…….”
The manager wondered what to say..
“that…….”
I can't tell it like it is.
‘That kid is not normal.’
The guy in front is too vicious to let you know that this side is cornered..
Honestly, if I were the manager of another streamer under these conditions, I would have bowed down and taken it..
But as if he sensed something, he tried to rip it all off..
Like that guy playing the game right now!
‘The real problem is that there is nothing we can do if we are all torn apart..’
After gathering his words for a moment, the manager decides to decorate his sentence with only defense against Joo-hyuk's attack..
“So we're not asking you to play a hitman. We also considered such image consumption and replaced it with gameplay videos.…….”
I thought I was explaining it well..
──Taaang!
“!?”
The manager's eyes rolled back without realizing it when he heard a gunshot coming from the screen..
‘Was it really a success? No, fail?’
3.5I knew about kilometer sniping because of the sound I kept hearing on the screen..
After pausing for a while, he now attempted the sniping..
If this fails, honestly there may be more chances..
There is a possibility that another streamer will come..
But, it was successful.?
‘Then it's over.’
He saw the challenge points written on the staff pad..
Then it was right to just close the business today..
It was only for a split second that he thought of this series of thoughts..
The time taken by Almond's bullet to fly.
That was all..
however─
‘Oops…….’
Grinning.
the manager was laughing.
‘I noticed it……?’
Two places where I unconsciously looked at the sound of a gunshot.
The manager was watching without missing a thing..
