Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 86
30. It’s Okay Again (3)
The time given until the showdown with Rome was not that short.
This is because of other teams’ schedules.
Thanks to this, the national competition team was given almost a week.
Heechul suggested that the team members take a short break.
“Everyone, let’s clear our heads for a moment. “Let’s prepare again.”
After saying that, he headed to the most secluded place among the cafes he runs.
Even though it was a break, Heechul wasn’t having any special time.
Just looking at the sea beyond the window and listening to the sound of white waves rolling in.
And I inhale and exhale the clean air with all my might, as if I have become one with the sea.
As if purifying all the impurities inside the body.
As the waves came in, he exhaled and emptied his lungs.
When the water was sucked back in, he inhaled, filling his lungs again.
“Phew…”
When his mind becomes clearer, he makes a cup of coffee and looks up articles related to Civil M.
This was the best vacation for Heechul.
[Signs of a reversal in the Civil Empire chart with national competition at the forefront]
[Exploring Civil Empire Joseon’s winning strategy]
[Civil M Joseon’s second win “likely to advance to the finals”]
.

.
Originally, if you looked at Civil M articles, you had to go to a foreign site.
But now domestic game portals have started to cover Civil M quite a bit.
“It’s something I will live to see for a long time.”
Heechul made a self-deprecating joke and smiled.
Professionals or enthusiasts of unpopular games always have dreams like this.
The game you play will one day become known to a lot of people and become crowded…
If you become more honest with your desires, you will gain a little bit of fame, get more recognition from people, etc.
Of course, by Heechul’s age, he has already become detached from such desires.
Otherwise, I would not have been able to consistently participate in competitions and develop while leading the team during this period.
“Sales increased by 12%….”
Heechul goes to the first article and checks the graph.
It was an article that said sales in Korea had begun to rise.
12% is not a big number, but the fact that sales of a game like this that has been out for a while is increasing is great in itself.
“This is only two wins.”
Joseon’s victories were still only two.
There are still 4 games left to be played in the group stage.
If you think about it, we haven’t won even half of the situation.
Nevertheless, Civil Empire’s influence on the Internet has grown so much.
Is even the Korean branch of Civil M fully aware of this?
They were holding an event for new or returning users that they had never held before.
Just as it is said that there is a time for everything in life, it seems that there is a time for everything in games.
After the Korean team’s disastrous performance in the Lille Cup. As if as a reaction, Joseon began to play an active role in national competitions…
‘Almonds came in.’
Above all, the recruitment of streamer Almond.
From here, everything started to change.
Not only did he attract people’s attention as a popular mid-level streamer, but he also performed better than any other player in the game.
The level of attention was enormous as a streamer who was already popular was active.
Look at the current situation in Embul, where there were not many people.
[Aren’t you going to expand the administrator server?]
[No, haha, is traffic going to explode today too??]
[Today isn’t even the Joseon Gyeonggi game, but it’s still happening]
[It feels like the inflow has really increased. txt]
The number of Regen posts is increasing and the bulletin board is becoming more lively.
Even though this is an online environment where aggressive attitudes are the norm, posts like this were posted and even became issue posts.
1st) This isn’t a huge hit, but the reason why I’m so grateful to have gotten this much popularity
– I cried so hard when I read it ㅠㅠ
– It’s strange. Is the internet… this warm?
-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-I hope it becomes more popular in the future.
-Meho Daejeon It was a Lil Pro that came in for a pornographic battle, and I shed tears. Big Chu.
└Crying up and down. Gaechoo.
└ㄹㅇ…
└There is emotion in Civil M even if there are no people…
└Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
. ..!
As if showing the atmosphere of the MBUL community, the issue posts were all positive.
2nd place) Almond Shooting gif after the last arrow toss
3rd place) Almond 〈〈 I didn’t know it would turn out like this when I first came here haha
4th place) What happens if you win the game with Rome…
Almond’s popularity goes beyond the rise in popularity of Civil M. It was a high-altitude march.
The number of subscribers to his AllTube channel, which had been lagging compared to the number of views, began to surge toward 1 million.
[Almond]
[938,000 subscribers]
The proportion of overseas viewers has increased significantly.
Perhaps, if the game continues or if we win against Roma, we will hit 1 million right away. It will continue to soar, so it may soon hit 1 million.
‘I can’t believe one person has this much influence.’
Heechul smiles bitterly.
It’s my second win now, and I’m already feeling mixed emotions.
‘I wonder if the other guys… can do well too.
I hope that by taking advantage of this momentum, his colleagues who worked hard with him and who burned with passion can receive their own reward.
Although they didn’t prepare the competition hoping for a reward in the first place, Heechul couldn’t help but feel concerned.
Not all players were as financially well-off as Heechul.
Most people don’t even get a chance to focus their passion on what they like and are swept away by the winds of time.
Many of them were his colleagues.
‘As for this rider…’
Heechul no longer wanted his colleagues to part ways with Civil Empire like that.
I would feel better if I got sick of this game, got sick of it, lost interest, and quit.
That’s what it said.
“I’m past the age of playing games.”
“It’s no longer fun.”
Everyone said plausible stories as they left one by one.
Thanks to the time he spent with them, Heechul could tell just by looking at their expressions.
That it’s all a lie.
Heechul quietly closed his eyes and nodded.
‘It’s a unique opportunity.’
I wasn’t just talking about Joseon’s chances of advancing to the finals.
An opportunity for all of his colleagues who poured their passion into this game together with him to unite their passions and lives.
A chance to portray the kind of team Heechul wants.
Even if everything doesn’t change this year, if we move forward year after year.
It will definitely come true.
A message is delivered to him.
Tiring.
[Civil M Korea PR Team Leader]
[Hello. Cookie. There is something we would like to plan with the national competition team…]
Civil Empire Korea.
It wasn’t unusual for Cookie to receive a message directly from there.
Since he is such an important figure in Korea’s Civil M market, it is no exaggeration to say that he is acquainted with all of them.
‘Hmm…’
Nevertheless, Heechul looks at it for a long time as if it were a message from a very strange person.
That’s probably because of the content of the message.
[…How about filming and uploading it in the form of a team documentary? We know that Cookie is reluctant to expose media that may interfere with the competition, but we would like to take advantage of this opportunity. For more details, please call….]
Team Documentary.
Heechul knows what it is too. In fact, the genre is called documentary, so it is closer to entertainment.
‘Something like this. now. During the competition…?’
Cookie’s expression quickly hardened.
It was content that he would never have allowed. Athletes will not be able to fully concentrate on the competition.
But soon he becomes deeply troubled.
“under.”
My gaze turned to the distant sea outside the window.
In order to deeply reflect on himself, he starts taking deep breaths again.
Shoot….
Breathe in when the waves come in and breathe out when the water goes out.
* * *
“ruler. slowly. “Take a breath.”
Seuuuuuu….
Under the cynical white ceiling and white lights, there is a strange sound.
“Exhale slowly. ruler. “I’m doing well.”
Swoowoo….
Why does it sound like Darth Vader when I breathe?
That’s probably because he was wearing a mask similar to the respirator he was wearing.
“Guardian? “Your breathing seems to have stabilized, so I’ll take you off the respirator now.”
“Oh yeah.”
Joo Hyuk’s voice is heard.
I struggle to turn my eyes and see the end of his large, neat dark green padding.
“Paha!”
When the doctor removed the oxygen mask, Jia let out a breath as if she was letting out what she had been holding in.
“Haa… haa….”
My breath, which had been breathing heavily for a moment, soon began to calm down.
Maybe the deep breathing technique I learned with my doctor was a good idea.
Maybe it was because Joo-hyuk was holding his hand tightly.
“…What happened.”
Jia’s voice came out with difficulty.
“I heard you passed out at the bank. I do not remember?”
“Bank… ugh.”
Jia held her throbbing head for a moment.
I remember again.
“ruler. Patient. You passed out due to hyperventilation. “First of all…”
The doctor told her not to overexert herself and to take it easy, and gave her time to talk with her guardian for a while.
Chop rock.
After the hospital’s white curtains were drawn. Joo-hyuk approaches and asks.
“what’s the matter? how.”
“What is going on? I’m just overworked. Running down the stairs on an empty stomach due to being overworked. “Go to the bank…”
Jia glanced at the IV in her arm.
“You’ll be fine after you do this.”
“Let’s take a break from editing for the time being. I got in touch with the assistant editor. Let’s leave it to that person full-time for now…”
“No!”
Jia suddenly screamed.
“It’s a surprise. What?”
“Ah… no, I have to keep working.”
“It got to this point. What do you keep doing?”
Should be.
Because I have to pay off my debt first.
Jia lowers her head.
It was difficult to look into Joo-hyuk’s eyes.
‘hmm?’
At that time, the white light of the hospital flashed through Joo-hyuk’s glasses as he looked down.
He noticed something.
“what’s the matter.”
“It’s just too much.”
Jia turns her head and mutters.
“If you’re overdoing it, you should rest, but you don’t want to rest.”
“Because it’s not serious.”
It was natural that I didn’t want to talk to Joo Hyuk.
It’s a shameful memory.
I never wanted to talk about it. How stupid I am.
“I suddenly fainted in the middle of the bank. “Isn’t it serious?”
“…I’m completely fine now.”
“Just say it.”
“Say something.”
Unlike the blunt answer, it was a sound that resonated deep within her.
「──!」
I couldn’t tell what this meant.
“Jia. Don’t try to fool me. “It doesn’t work.”
“What are you lying about?”
“Just tell me. “I’ll figure it out.”
“Let go…”
Jia tried to shake off his hand.
Joo-hyuk gripped it tighter and pulled.
“No matter what happens, if I don’t know about it, it will be more painful.”
“….”
“I can solve it. No, we can solve it if we two work together. “Anything.”
Jia’s eyes trembled.
“You’re going to hate me.”
The voice that uttered these words also trembled.
However, Joo Hyuk answered without any hesitation.
“are you okay. “You will fall in love again in no time.”
Dang──!
A sound resounding inside her.
The sound I didn’t know what it was was the sound of a large golden bell ringing.
A field of five-colored flowers with white silk fabric flying around. A large golden bell placed on top of it.
Jia’s face shone on that golden world.
The mouth twitched.
“It’s about someone I met before…”
Jia decides to bring up an old story.
“I once created a corporation as a co-representative with that person.”
