Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 8
3. Zombie School (2)
“This is it. I think this is a thing…! Wow. Maybe it’s really amazing!?”
When PD Jang’s excited voice echoed through the rooftop.
Another person’s voice intervenes.
“Why are you muttering to yourself on the rooftop again?”
Chick.
The woman talking next to her while lighting a cigarette is PD Park Soo-yeon.
I am in the same company as PD Jang.
“Fuck you anyway. Our directors just live off the company’s money. “Why do you make such a fuss about everything?”
It is characterized by a very rough mouth. There are times when things like this happen while doing this job.
Especially in the case of women, there are people who ignore them for no reason, so they evolve like this on purpose… PD Jang is trying to understand her harsh mouth.
‘uh? for a moment.’
PD Jang looked at her without thinking and for a moment, it felt as if lightning had struck his head.
Something flashed into my mind.
It feels like the final puzzle piece has been fitted into his plan.
‘Come to think of it, this guy is a professional.’
He is one of the few producers of innovative entertainment in Korea. Regardless of whether it makes money or not, there is clearly no deficit like this in creating a new format.
He is famous as a producer from Mensa and has a good career. That’s because everything I did didn’t make money.
So, even though he ended up on this hot pants major channel broadcasting station, his ability is still outstanding.
“You… what entertainment show are you doing now?”
“…You don’t even know that?”
The fierce furrowing of the eyebrows suggests that another round of curses is about to pour out.
“Oh no. I know, but I remember the name well——”
“Mystery club.”
“ah. Yes, that!”
Mystery club.
It is an adventure-style entertainment show where you participate in a mystery club within the school and uncover the school’s secrets.
“You were very dissatisfied with that. The set budget and the celebrities couldn’t concentrate, so they called the manager in the middle…”
“It’s terrible. ” “You bearded bastard.”
PD Park laughs. He’s definitely smiling, but his expression doesn’t look very good.
“Why why….”
“I think the entertainment show I’m doing is really a mystery club. You quit after just season 1. “Just because it doesn’t make sense.”
“…ah.”
“For an entertainment show like that, the viewership ratings were high. For such an entertainment show… it’s okay. There are no ads either. “It’s literally just entertainment that doesn’t make money.”
“That’s right.”
PD Jang was extremely embarrassed. I had been too indifferent to the person I was trying to recruit.
“What I’m doing now is an old-fashioned travel variety show. “They go shopping with celebrities and pretend they do all the hard work.”
“…Keuhum.”
“I’m not interested in this. Why are you asking about the entertainment show I’m suddenly doing? huh?”
PD Park asks, leaning back against the railing.
It’s something PD Jang doesn’t do because he feels like he’s going to fall, but he does it very naturally with both arms draped over his head.
PD Jang swallowed dry saliva and continued speaking.
‘I can’t just walk away.’
Even if you can’t persuade them here, you have to tell them as much as you can so there’s a chance next time.
“What you really wanted to do and what you envisioned was adventure entertainment. Like a mystery club. Right?”
“Hmm…”
PD Park frowns and looks around.
PD Jang beyond the hazy cigarette smoke.
‘I don’t know.’
PD Jang, who had no interest in others his entire life.
Producer Jang, who grows his hair and beard and pretends to be an artist, is good at smelling money.
Producer Jang, who didn’t even know what kind of show I was doing now.
Why is he suddenly interested?
Adventure-style entertainment that doesn’t make any money.
To me, who has never drank alcohol before.
‘Did you smell money?’
PD Park answers first.
“…uh. that’s right.”
after.
He continued to answer while exhaling smoke.
“I want to do adventure entertainment. But the production cost is enormous. The set also needs to be big. “It costs a lot of money to stay with celebrities for a few nights, but it is not easy to accommodate them.”
“yes? That’s hard. The set also needs to be big. Celebrities go here and there and their schedules have to match.”
“…What. how. Why didn’t you do it? Don’t play tricks. Because now I’m only going to do what makes money. “I have a child at home.”
“Look at this.”
A cell phone that Producer Jang gives out without any hesitation.
Although the look on his face as if telling him to take the bait is annoying.
PD Park puts away his cigarette with his other hand and takes a look.
‘What is this…’
What appears on Producer Jang’s screen is a zombie school.
“hmm? this person. “Isn’t that the guy who was a guest on your talk show?”
“uh? uh. “How do you know?”
“Because you’re handsome.”
PD Park said only that and focused on the screen again.
* * *
“Number 15. The correct answer is 45 square centimeters. The problem was finding the area of a graph. It doesn’t seem like it at all, but….”
“…sine 30… tangent….”
“I guess I should apply the root formula… plma….”
It was almost like a forced sleeping pill.
My eyes closed so crazy that I thought that the main quest of this game was to listen to the math teacher’s class to the end.
-Almond haha, the walnut is overworked ㅠㅠㅠ
-Why are you really sleepy haha
-Aren’t you immersed too much??LOL
-I’m going crazy haha I can see my school days~
Should Almond at least talk to the viewers? Although I was worried.
It somehow felt like it was against the law to speak into the microphone in this situation.
Even if I feel embarrassed, I keep my mouth shut and endure it, thinking that I should just listen to the whole class.
But then.
Ding!
[Eyes slowly close.]
[If you remain sleepy, you may end up in a state of ‘tiredness.’ I hope you get some sleep, even if only briefly.]
This message comes to mind.
‘hmm? Was it because of this?’
It wasn’t the almonds that made me sleepy, but the character that the almonds were added to that made me sleepy.
-omg. What is it?
-Walnuts weren’t something strange!
-Are you really sleepy???
‘You can’t tell the difference, right?’
It was really amazing.
I can feel the state of this character clearly. Thanks to this, I can’t tell if it’s my state or the character’s state.
‘What happens when you get tired?’
They said that if you don’t sleep, you will become tired.
But how on earth are you supposed to sleep at school? And in front of that teacher?
That is suicidal.
Almond ignores it for now and goes back to focusing on the scary math teacher’s class.
“Because here and here are perpendicular. We just have to use trigonometry again….”
As expected, I’m sleepy. If I only used half of my charisma in class to scare kids, I wouldn’t be sleepy… That’s when I think about it.
Tiring!
The notification sounds again.
[You are currently in a ‘very hungry’ state.]
[If you don’t eat anything, you will gradually lose strength.]
“…What is this?”
Almond muttered into the broadcast microphone channel.
He checks his watch.
“It’s just past lunch time. “Why am I hungry?”
Growling.
It’s a sound coming from a stomach.
Although it wasn’t Almond’s stomach, it felt like he was actually hungry.
– Haha, is it a pig?
– It’s like that in the middle of the day
– But it’s strange haha. Anyway, it’s not like I’m hungry, but I’m very hungry.
“I guess I skipped lunch.”
Almond thought about that and quietly went to class.
-Skipping lunch and sleeping during class haha, this is so stupid -Is
this the school life of an insider?
-You don’t even have a girlfriend, do you? Then I’ll hope the real zombies win.
While watching viewers’ chat.
Almond also realizes something interesting.
‘Why does this feel like real time?’
Normally, in a story game like this, time should pass at least a little faster.
But here, every minute and every second seemed to count.
If someone hears this, they’ll say it’s because of their mood. It’s just that math class is so boring.
So he checks his watch.
‘…?’
I unconsciously looked at the watch on my wrist. Since I’m a student, I don’t really have a watch. But there are traces of the watch band. It seems like he usually wears it.
Anyway, not now.
Almond looks at the clock on the blackboard.
‘It’s hard to tell from that.’
There is a watch, though. Seconds cannot be expressed.
It was then.
Ding~ dong~ dang~ dong~!
The bell rings.
“Whoa.”
Almond unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Similar breathing sounds echo here and there.
-Student synchronization rate is 100% hahahaha
-hahaha why are you really a student haha
-Whoa hahaha
-???: I’m holding my breath until class is over!
Fortunately, the math teacher wasn’t the type to continue the lesson even after punching the paper.
“So the correct answer is… route 3. “That’s it.”
bang.
A math teacher who once threatened to pierce the blackboard with chalk and then coolly walked out.
“Hwaaaam…!”
As soon as he leaves, a student stretches loudly.
“ah. Jeon Tae-jung’s baby. “It’s so fucking catchy.”
I think the math teacher’s name is Jeon Tae-joong.
Even the name has something powerful.
That was surprising, but Almond was surprised at another point.
‘Wow…’
It’s because of the students’ realistic reactions.
“hey. Why is that route 3? “They just read the answer sheet again.”
“Ah… that…”
A student studying.
“ah. Should we go to the snack bar?”
“I’m a sausage bread.”
“Let’s go together. “Sipryun.”
Student going to the cafeteria.
“Eujin. “Let’s go to the bathroom.”
“huh.”
Girls who go to the bathroom together.
Too much realism.
Yes, it would be appropriate to say that it is excessive.
‘It’s completely different from the lil incarnations.’
The reel incarnations are, after all, fantasy characters. Therefore, even though it was embodied like a real person, there was still a sense of distance.
Not to mention the NPCs in Kingdom Age. Not only are they medieval people, but they have less realism than the reel incarnations.
But these are Koreans. He is also a student at a Korean school.
Additionally, the implementation rate is overwhelmingly higher than that of previous games. To the point where I’m worried about how far technology has advanced.
A loud commotion is heard from behind Almond.
“hey. Kim Woo-jung. “Don’t you remember how you whined when you got beaten so fucking hard in battle?”
Someone is arguing with Kim Woo-jung, the student who first stretched out.
“Do you want to rummage? “Who the fuck did it?”
“ah. “Are you really telling me to stop cursing?”
A pretty female student sits next to Kim Woo-jung.
She raised the corners of her eyes with makeup and wore a tight skirt.
“Ah… Oki.”
Kim Woo-jung scratches his head and realizes that the student is stuck.
‘It’s like a real school.’
Around the time Almond was admiring the children.
“hey. Kim Joo-hyuk.”
A female student with raised eyebrows calls out to Kim Joo-hyuk.
“Kim Joo-hyuk. Can’t you hear me? Give me your chair. “Why are you sitting?”
‘and. There’s a kid named Kim Joo-hyuk… That’s me, right?’
Almond belatedly realized that he was being called and turned around.
Hung!
Isn’t there a fierce attack coming?
‘What is this?’
Without realizing it, Almond moved his head back far enough to avoid it.
“…?”
The person who threw the spanking was a female student with dark eyes. She nods her head, “What are you going to do?”
‘what. ‘Is this a joke?’
Did you really mean to hit me? It’s hard to tell if it’s a pretend hit between friends.
If you were trying to hit, wouldn’t you have swung more properly?
It seems like it’s a joke, but the atmosphere isn’t like that at all, so I’m asking for confirmation.
What are you planning to do? To hit me?
Teeing!
[Can’t answer due to status ‘fear’]
I can’t speak.
‘?’
I really can’t stop talking.
I even get the illusion that my heart rate is rising. As if feeling real fear.
“Kim Joo-hyuk, this stupid bastard… avoiding our Sohee’s gracious slap? “If you’re like me, stick out the other side too.”
Cough.
The tall guy who appeared with laughter coming from all over the place was Baek Jun-su.
That’s what it said on the name tag.
Since he is the tallest, he seems to be the highest ranking person here.
“Fuck you. “Just say it right.”
Baek Junsu cocks his fist backwards as if he is about to hit a punching machine.
Almond was embarrassed.
“Solar plexus stew ike!!” He couldn’t tell
whether that slow-moving fist was really trying to hit him or
not.
‘Are you serious or what?’
Should I greet him at least as a joke?
Still, Almond dodges it by leaning forward while sitting on the chair.
Empty…!
Baek Junsu’s fist gets stuck in the chair frame, and his face is distorted in pain.
“Ah-oh! Damn…! Who wants to avoid you!?”
How do you get that right? I tried to refute it, but as expected, I was speechless due to fear.
“But this bastard. “Are you so cocky?”
Kim Woo-jung, who had been watching from behind, steps forward.
He jumps right in and delivers a double side kick.
Huh!
‘It’s no joke.’
Almond now realized that it was no joke. Who throws a double side kick as a joke?
‘I think it’s possible to avoid it even in a state of fear.’
Ssuk!
Almond lightly threw away another attack.
“?!”
Since it was like a double side kick in the air, of course Kim Woo-jung ended up lying on the floor.
“Ah ah…!”
Kim Woo-jung and his friends’ eyes become fierce at the same time.
“This bastard is avoiding it again?!”
“What are we going to do? Kim Joo-hyuk. “You really want to go after it?”
Bloody atmosphere.
-Is this a game that plays like this? LOL
-If you avoid that, won’t the game progress?
-Hey, I only got one hit lol
-ㅁㅊ lol
– I clenched my teeth and avoided them all lol
Almond’s eyes also changed. Because of different thoughts.
‘…this body. It’s really slow.’
I felt it earlier, but this body exploded slowly. Is this also one of the status ailments?
==== ====
[Tired]
All actions become sluggish. If fatigue persists, your stamina may decrease.
[Very hungry]
Stamina decreases significantly. Can’t move much.
[Fear]
I can’t speak out in front of the object of fear. Freezes and slows down movement.
==== ====
Even though I was very hungry and scared, I ended up feeling tired because I couldn’t sleep.
So it became slower.
Meanwhile.
“hey. “If you avoid me again this time, I think you’ll really be left behind.”
Kim Woo-jung stands up with a murderous look in his eyes and stomps his legs.
‘What should I do?’
Do we really have to be beaten by those guys?
Almond feels proud for some reason.
* * *
“Oh, it’s hot…!”
widely.
After throwing away the fully lit cigarette. PD Park takes out one more machine.
I was watching the precious cigarettes burn out without even noticing them. This game.
“Are you trying to create an adventure entertainment show with this game?”
She finally understands what PD Jang wanted to say.
“okay. Regardless of platform. Without worrying about what the higher-ups at the broadcasting station would think. “It also saves a lot on production costs.”
There is definitely nothing wrong with that.
‘You bastard…’
PD Park feels himself shaking.
It’s unpleasant. Being swayed by that guy.
“…what do you think about it?”
PD Jang asks carefully.
“Isn’t it okay?”
