Genius Archer's Streaming

After Kim Woo-Jung tenaciously survived the zombie attack, the mission from a viewer wished for his quick disappearance.

Interpreted literally, Almond had indeed cleared the mission.

"Chikicha," Almond exclaimed as Kim Woo-Jung fell.

He still completed the mission even though he simply peeked through the door and said it.

Certainly, the person who set the mission didn’t expect such a scenario. He probably wanted Kim Ju-Hyeok to awaken splendidly, defeat Kim Woo-Jung, and overcome his past before Almond shouted, "Chikicha." Do things always go as planned?

Almond quietly banned the donor with a long message and shared his thoughts.

"I was lucky."

It was a simple, yet apt reflection. He just had good fortune. Almond had stabbed Kim Woo-Jung’s hand, but that was Hyun-Ah's plan.

Everything that followed was a series of countless random possibilities that came together. For instance, the guy fighting in front of Kim Woo-Jung slipped and became a zombie, exposing him to more danger. Even Baek Joon-Soo found Kim Woo-Jung's bite marks. All of it was coincidental.

These numerous coincidences allowed the three inside the snack bar to survive.

"We barely made it."

Hyun-Ah and Soo-Hyun, as if on cue, collapsed to the floor. They had been more tense than they let on.

"Soboro Bread. Pizza Bread. How about that?"

Amid all this, Hyun-Ah pointed at herself with her thumb and smiled.

"Now call me General Hyun-Ah."

Her plan had worked well to her satisfaction.

"The strategy of using zombies was smart."

Hyun-Ah realized the zombies could recover, so she came up with a plan to unleash the zombies in the music room. If the zombies blocked the exit route, the gang would instinctively want to escape. Her plan had succeeded. Instead of breaking through the snack bar, the gang chose to leave and the snack bar team effectively safeguarded their base.

The viewers also cheered because of her strategy.

Donations even came in for Hyun-Ah. Of course, the money was all for Almond, but nominally it was also for Hyun-Ah.

"Thank you for the donations, SchoolViolence and Sister."

Yes, Almond already completed the mandatory playtime for the advertisement on the first day. The deal for the advertisement had been very favorable, so the mandatory playtime was very short.

Almond suddenly decided to end the stream.

"It's too late now. The counterattack against the bully gang will take place the day after tomorrow!"

Almond didn't prolong his farewell and simply said goodbye.

"Bye!"

The following day, an announcement appeared on the Treevy board.

Under the announcement, many comments naturally expressed their disappointment.

Of course, many accepted the reason and purely supported Almond's endeavors.

***

Despite the official closing time being 6 P.M., many staff members were still present in a certain department of Ahsung Corporation at 9 P.M.

"Damn it. How can we do this now with just two newcomers? This is absurd."

The team leader’s frustrated typing filled the room as the other employees quietly turned their attention to their monitors. The atmosphere was tense. It seemed like they had a backlog of work to do.

"Yu Sang-Hyeon's case is understandable, but why did Kim Ju-Hyeok leave? He chose to leave on his own, didn't he?"

The team leader's irritation seemed to rise again and Deputy Chief Kim tried to calm things down. Amid this, a junior employee suddenly stood up.

"What's up with you?!" the team leader roared.

He began closing the haphazardly opened windows on his computer, preparing to take a short break for a meal.

"Damn, Director Park is such a jerk."

As he closed each window, another infuriating matter came to mind.

"He waits until Friday evening without approving and then tells me? Isn't this just messing with us? Why does he hate our team so much? Huh?"

Again, he habitually cursed Yu Sang-Hyeon and Kim Ju-Hyeok. Complaints naturally flowed as if it were his talent. He couldn't believe it and thought it was too much even after everything.

"What? With the restructuring, they even chose to let go of Yu Sang-Hyeon. No matter how unsatisfactory he might have been, how could they do this without saying a word to me?"

Not just that, their ace Kim Ju-Hyeok also left. He cursed in frustration.

Even the new employees knew why Manager Park picked on the team leader. It was a well-known fact. Obviously, the team leader knew too. He just wanted someone to sympathize with him. Knowing this, the junior was keen to keep him pleased.

"Our company needs to change. Is it okay to be this unproductive just because it's not his responsibility?" he complained.

"That's true," the junior sharply agreed.

It was like a table tennis rally going back and forth as the team leader complained and the junior agreed to soothe the situation. The team leader closed the document case with a thud and stood up. He noticed the youngest team member returning from afar.

"Let's all have some late-night snacks. We can eat in the break room," he announced and signaled their snack time.

The employees responded cheerfully, "Yes!"

The cool city night view unfolded beyond the window and looked like a watercolor painting thanks to the rain tapping on the glass. Deputy Kim chose a spot with the best view and pulled out a chair.

"Let’s sit here."

"That's a good spot. Eating late-night snacks at the office on a Friday. You are all working hard," he acknowledged.

While the employees busily set up the snacks, the team leader turned on the tablet connected to the table.

"Let's watch something while we eat. I'm too tired to talk."

He casually flipped through the channels, randomly stopping at one. His favorite female idol appeared on it.

"Wow, Seo-Rin looks beautiful," he commented.

Deputy Kim sat next to him and said, "Seo-Rin looks even prettier on talk shows like this than on stage."

The new employees agreed. It wasn't flattery and seemed to be sincere.

"Wow, she's pretty."

"Wow…"

The team leader chuckled and looked back at the new employees.

"What? You guys don't know Seo-Rin?"

They nodded in agreement.

The team leader shook his head and spoke in a youthful tone, "You don’t know our Seo-Rin. Seo-Rin, you see, she shines on camera even on talk shows like this…"

While they discussed, the screen suddenly switched to today's guest.

"Oh, he's handsome too."

"An idol, maybe…"

The new employees chatted ignorantly, but the deputies almost choked on their snacks in shock.

Especially Deputy Kim, he nearly spilled his food.

"… Huh?" Even the team leader dropped his chopsticks in surprise.

"What, what's this? I know that guy…"Google seaʀᴄh ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

The main host asked what the team leader wanted to ask.

“Mr. Almond, your real name is Yu Sang-Hyeon, right?”

“Yes, that's correct.”

"Yu Sang-Hyeon?!" the team leader yelled out. His voice echoed in the empty break room.

Regardless, the show went on.

Seo-Rin looked flustered and laughter spread from the audience.
