Genius Archer's Streaming

Season 3: Chapter 50: Strict Verification (3)

After streamers attempted to reach Almond's challenge score, posts like these began to pop up in the community.

[Breaking News: Skill streamer Mr. K verifies Almond's challenge score as a fraud!?]

Clicking on these posts led to the same conclusion.

[... Went to verify, couldn't even start as Elite Agent, just had a Q&A session with the staff and left ^^

(Video)]

The attached video captured a staff member giving robotic responses devoid of a soul.

— LOL, how can you verify it without any skills LOL

— What's up with that staff's tone?

└ If they get any more annoyed, might as well send people off via Amazon Prime

└ How irritating, ppl must have asked many times LOL

— Fact: Verification was BS, just went to ride the algorithm.

Unless one could read their minds, the streamers’ true intentions were unknowable. Certainly, some went to genuinely verify while others just wanted to ride the wave of controversy.

Regardless, the outcome was the same. Many tried the Hitman game and they all failed.

— They’re all sighing as they leave LOL

— These guys went with so much gusto to verify Almond's controversy??

└ A few were right

— Is it true that 99% didn't even reach Elite Agent level??

└ It’s seriously tough

No one among the challengers had yet made a significant mark. Although they hoped to gain some attention through the controversy, Almond ended up receiving all the attention.

— How the hell did Almond do it???

— Nutty guy... really was something...

— At this point, I’m really looking forward to the national competition.

— Almond's consecutive wins LOL

└ Sleeping but still winning...

└ LOL right

└ Breaking News: Almond on a 14 win streak while asleep!

As these challengers failed, Almond's reputation soared even higher.

Eventually, a post gained enough traction to trend.

15. Current Status of Almond

[Currently just drinking coffee at the hotel LOL

Winning streaks over coffee!

Simply... the GOAT!

The Greatest Of All Time!]

Someone uploaded a photo of Almond drinking coffee at the breakfast buffet. When it was taken was unknown.

— Worship the G.O.A.T...

— Just the GOAT...

— His looks alone are GOAT

The goat acronym was commonly used in sports and arts, but became prevalent in esports too. This title was typically reserved for the best players like Messi or Ronaldo in soccer. RΑ

Almond earning this title was humourous and part of the fun. It demonstrated just how superior his skills were.

— Is that a sponsored coffee ad? It really looks like a photoshoot

— That's just a random snap? Wow

— Just drinking coffee and still on a winning streak...

— Isn't he a nut, not a GOAT?

└ LOL

└ Nutty LOL

└ Worship the N.U.T.

They elevated Almond from the greatest to almost a deity.

13. Yu Sang-Hyeon<<< If this guy is a god, then upvote

[Starting with me~]

— For real, LOL

— Woof woof! I agree!

— Sang-Hyeon? No no, it’s God-Hyeon

└ Praise the lord

└ The God gamer

└ Lord Almond

One could wonder why they revered him as a god. Once public opinion flipped, it always tended to be much more extreme and somewhat akin to a counterpunch being much stronger.

Amid this, some news came in.

[Breaking News: A streamer is currently playing as an elite agent!]

Finally, someone among the numerous challengers reached the elite agent level.

— Finally escaped the entry cut LOL

— Just a few hours ago LOL

— Oh, Radish Kimchi? He’s not bad

***

"Capture alive? Eliminate? Eliminate. Roger."

The enemy had been ordered to eliminate him.

“Screech... Eliminate all witnesses immediately...”

He also received an order to eliminate the enemy.

'Now, I'm starting to adapt to the visibility.'

His vision, previously hampered by smoke, was beginning to clear. He could see enough to shoot the enemy.

'They’re beyond the door of the executive office.'

Radish Kimchi hid behind a pillar in the executive office and the enemy was beyond the office door.

The moment they peeked their heads in, that would be his opportunity.

"They're entering."

The enemies commenced their group entry.

"Phew!"

Radish Kimchi held his breath and swiftly sprang out from behind the pillar.

'There they are!'

Radish Kimchi instantly located their position and pulled the trigger.

Bang! Bang!

The gun’s muzzle lit up with a fierce recoil.

'Hit!'

The bullet struck the heart of the first enemy to enter. Radish Kimchi possessed tremendous reaction speed and aim.

— Wow

— Amazing

— Crazy, as expected

He immediately turned the gun and continued firing at the other agents.

Bang! Bang!

Bullets pierced through their heads and hearts, but then—

"!?"

Bang!

A gunshot rang out from an unlikely direction.

'Was he still alive?'

The enemy he had initially shot in the heart had survived and fired back at him. Had he resurrected? That couldn't be.

'He wasn't dead...!'

Elite agents did not die instantly unless it was a headshot. Conversely, they were also very good at shooting players in the head.

Boom!

Radish’s head burst open from a single shot.

— ???

— Eh?

— ?

Thud...!

His vision tumbled to the ground and gradually blacked out. In the darkening view, only these words brightly appeared.

[Mission Failed]

"He's been killed! Completely eliminated!"

He failed the mission and died.

The vanished chat window also reappeared.

— LOL

— LOL

— Damn LOL 1 second LOL

— Is that really elite agent? (Not the difficulty)

— So funny LOL

— Radish juice splashed everywhere LOL

Ridicule filled the chat.

Radish Kimchi felt it was unfair. Elite agents had appeared from the start. The problem was that the difficulty had already been set. Repeatedly watching Almond’s videos turned out to be a mistake.

"Ah... Ah, no. This was a mistake. A mistake. Ah... I didn't expect elite enemies right from the start... Seriously, don’t clip this. Really, don’t clip this..."

Of course, he knew how futile it was to ask these viewers.

— LOL here come the clips~

— Hey, what’s up?

— Here comes the clip~

Sure enough, within minutes, such clips appeared on Radish Kimchi’s Treevy page.

[??? Seriously, don’t clip this!?]

— LOL Almond winning streak while drinking coffee!

— Almond didn’t even finish his coffee before Radish got clipped LOL

— How did you die so fast Radish...?

— ??? Radish...! (Death)
