Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 136
45. Departure (1)
“Oh…”
Sang-hyeon nodded after hearing the story.
“The cheering tool is fine. “There were many cases where people asked me to make it during Nant battles in the past.”
I agree with what Joo Hyuk brought up during breakfast.
The idea was to create and sell a cheering tool on This World.
“yes. Because we haven’t participated in competitions often. I wasn’t paying attention, though. “This final round is a little different.”
“…It might fall as soon as it goes.”
Sanghyun playfully challenged the question.
“Oh…”
Joo-hyuk looked embarrassed, as if he hadn’t thought of that.
Now that I think about it, they say it was a miracle that Joseon advanced to the finals.
Why did you think you would go all the way to the finals?
Joo Hyuk himself thought it was something he didn’t know.
I tend to be strict when it comes to probability calculations, but am I being too greedy with the idea of starting a company?
Or has my support for the national team really grown too much?
Strangely, Joo Hyuk didn’t think they would fall in the round of 32 or anything.
‘Is this an error in confirming hope or something?’
Joo Hyuk shook his head again and thought he needed to evaluate the risk.
The calculator began to run complicatedly in his head.
“Don’t think too much.”
Sanghyun swallows a handful of almond cereal and says.
“Even if we fall in the round of 32, will the company go bankrupt just because we created a This World cheering tool?”
“uh…?”
It was like that.
If you owe some money, you lose. It won’t fail. You had debt anyway, right?
The problem is that Joo-hyuk had no intention of stopping at just being a support tool for This World.
“Well… I’m also thinking about offline goods.”
“Then let’s make it if we pass the round of 32.”
“oh?”
Joo-hyuk is tempted by Sang-hyeon’s seemingly thoughtless remarks.
Why do you know this guy so well?
“And even if we get eliminated in the round of 16 right away… honestly, it will sell a lot. “It would be amazing just to make it to the finals in the first place.”
“…Are you okay? “You mean to adjust the production period according to risk?”
“hmm. “Well, that’s right.”
“Hey! Good? If we do this, we will minimize the damage. really.”
I wondered why it would be so difficult to say that he should just do it without notice, but Sanghyun just ignored it.
‘I’ve seen a lot of similar things…’
Even though Sanghyun disappeared midway through, it wasn’t that I couldn’t hear news about his colleagues who were preparing for the Olympics.
Due to emotional pain, I only blocked news related to archery. I often heard stories from athletes in other sports who were close friends with him.
After advancing to the Olympics, they always had to plan something by dividing it into the round of 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals.
Every time you pass that stage, your life will change.
Any plans made before then become meaningless.
So, everything is planned on a tournament-by-tournament basis.
Sanghyun simply applied that mechanism to goods.
“good. Then it would be okay to definitely try the goods side. “The problem is with the other members… I’ll discuss that with Cookie.”
With this, Almond goods are confirmed.
“oh. “Then I’ll have to say it on the air first.”
* * *
Before departing for Japan for the finals.
Almond turned on the broadcast every day, whether for advertising or simply for communication.
– Wow
– is it broadcasting today too?? Haha
– Wow
– Do you do this every day until the finals?
Although there were not as many people as when he was confirmed to advance to the finals, his broadcast was still on the rise.
[Current viewership of 83,000]
Advertising and communication broadcasts alone exceed 80,000 viewers.
‘I think I can say it at this point.’
When the number of viewers reached a certain level, he quietly slipped out these words.
“Ah… I’m not sure. “I think almond goods will come out.”
-oh?
– Wow
– Awesome
– Wow
– Finally
– ㄷㄱㄷㄱㄷㄱ
– The beginning of a legend
– Wow,
the viewer reaction was pretty good.
In fact, for a streamer as popular as Almond, it wouldn’t be surprising if a few goods had been released long ago.
It’s rather surprising that it’s only come out now.
“First of all, I think it will mainly come out as support tools that are needed right away. “We are currently discussing whether to use it within This World.”
-Oooh -Yeah
, we didn’t have an official cheering tool ㅠㅠㅠ
-Wow, are we going to have almond applause balloons now hahaha
-It would be nice to have almond drums hahahaha
We didn’t even say anything about walnut drums or something, but the viewers started to let their imaginations run wild.
Tiring.
[Copyright Villain donated 5,000 won.]
[Let’s catch the kids who sell almond hats illegally, right? [Brother.]
-LOL How do I hold that
? -Let’s hold it
. -Isn’t it just an almond-shaped hat…?
“ah. Thank you for your support. “It’s just because it’s not shaped like an almond… Because I’m not a real almond… Wouldn’t that be difficult?”
[Ruby Sword donated 10,000 won.]
[Wow! It wasn’t almond? Who are you!]
-LOL
-Kkkkkk Princess Ruby’s drip made my belly button pop! LOL
-Who are you! 2222
– Hahahahahahaha
“Ah. Thank you, Ruby Sword. Almonds are correct. “It’s not nuts… no… this is also strange.”
-That’s right about nuts too. Hahaha
– It has become so much like almond itself haha
– There is no way to explain it hahaha
Streamer Almond does not have the design trademark for that nut almond.
Nut is also an expression used for almond, so Almond felt dizzy for a moment.
There were no viewers who would miss this opportunity.
Tiring.
[Descartes donated 1,000 won.]
[Can you prove that you are not an almond?]
-LOL -Oh
… no!
-ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ
Tiring.
[Pseudo-scientist donated 5,000 won.]
[As expected, their true identity has been revealed! Nuttillion!]
– Nuttillion hahaha
– There’s so much going on haha
– Is it a Raptillian haha
– Kkkkkk
– This is the Nuttillion that is popular in the Nutspunk world these days?!
Nuttillion. What is that again? Almond was absurd.
Before he knows it, all kinds of memes are being created.
[Jjin donated 3,000 won.]
[Information) Their original identity is nut people, but a race of people who pretend to be humans and imitate human shapes are called nutillions. They rule human society in the dark.]
-??
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Worldview description
– How far can Nutspunk go…
– Recommend a novel with the content!
-hmm. That’s right.
Almond dropped the topic at this point. I started talking for no reason and the conversation took a strange turn.
“Hmm. Anyway! I can’t catch that almond hat. “You can’t catch it.”
-Of course it’s Nuttillion. Because I can’t catch it.
-Why can’t I catch almonds?? Are you on your side?
-Crazy hahaha
-Chat Doratnu hahaha
-Already dyed
-The almond hat might be a clue to Nuttillion.
I guess I’ll have to make some merchandise related to Nuttillion.
Almond thought so and ended the small talk about goods.
It was enough to just let them know that goods were coming out.
“ruler. “I’ll go to the next game.”
-I guess it’s the next commercial
-I’ll go to the next commercial~
-Fact) Even home shopping doesn’t advertise this much
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-It’s fun~
That’s how he went on to broadcast more and was able to digest most of the advertisements he received from G-Star before the finals. .
‘All that’s left is the zombie school.’
The only thing left was Zombie School, which had a slightly louder volume.
I think this will probably take place after the competition is over.
And as time passed, the departure date came.
* * *
The official first departure date was two weeks before the start date of the finals.
Not all players leave the country at this time.
Only those who can afford it or who need to prepare in advance will leave the country in advance at this time.
In Korea, about 40 to 50 think tank team players leave the country at this time.
To borrow Pang’er’s words, only the ‘unemployed fleet’ is leaving the country.
People who have jobs generally only go back and forth on weekends when there are games.
Since the entire finals process takes place fairly quickly, even if you make it to the finals, it only takes two weekends.
As Almond is also a full-time broadcaster, he joined this ‘unemployed fleet’ that prepares in advance.
So, since dawn this morning, he has been packing his bags and struggling down the stairs of Daldongnae.
Joo-hyuk helped me, but I almost fell while carrying the suitcase by myself.
thud.
When the carrier finally touched normal ground. Joo Hyuk said hello.
“Have a nice trip.”
“okay. “You handle it well too.”
Joo Hyuk had many things to do while remaining in Korea.
“All cheering goods will be released one week before the game starts. don’t worry.”
First of all, he was entrusted by Cookie with overall management of the merchandise profits of the national competition team.
You’ll probably be busier than ever.
“Oki~ I’m going.”
Sanghyun left Joohyuk, who was waving his hand, and went to stand at the spot where the charter bus was supposed to arrive.
“Fake national team! go for it!”
Joo Hyuk continued to shout cheering slogans as he climbed the stairs again.
“go! Nuts!”
“Monster! “Kaaaa!”
“King~ You guys can’t beat me! ~Bonus!”
There are also many.
* * *
The charter bus arrived exactly at the scheduled time.
“Hello~”
There were quite a few familiar faces inside the bus. Even though it’s early in the morning, everyone’s eyes are blurry.
I’m probably half excited and half nervous.
Sanghyeon finds an empty seat and goes inside, greeting each person one by one.
“Almond ham~”
“Uh. Spam~”
“Hi!”
“okay.”
As he sits down, a fake national cameraman and a writer approach him.
“Almond! “Are you having a hard time since early morning?”
He’s probably trying to get an interview.
“Ah… it’s a little early.”
“Have you ever been to Japan?”
Japan… I’ve been there a couple of times.
“Oh… I went to work once.”
I stopped by for work. But I have never been there to play. When I asked, it occurred to me again…
“Ah. Have you ever gone out to play?”
“When I think about it. “I’ve never gone far away to have fun.”
I have never gone abroad to play.
It wasn’t just overseas.
I never went far away just to have fun.
Could it have been there when your parents were alive?
“ah… “I see.”
The production team talked about this and that more and then moved on to the other side.
This is the side with chiseung and dumplings.
Chiseung was asking them if clouds really come in when you open the airplane window.
I was laughing, thinking that that scene would definitely be featured on a fake national news show.
Suddenly a memory passes by.
‘Uh…’
I always remembered it, but it was a memory I ignored to erase it.
Shoot….
I once went to the beach to play.
The refreshing sound of waves, the warm sandy beach, and long, flowing black hair blowing in the wind.
She looks back.
“What are you doing? “Let’s at least get our feet wet.”
The girl shook her head when there was no answer.
“Be patient. Come all the way here and make a fuss. “I’ll be back again sometime.”
He chirps in a voice like a bird welcoming the morning.
“The next Olympics are in Greece. “I heard the beach there is really beautiful…”
What did that mean?
“I wish you well. “I probably won’t be able to go to the next Olympics.”
What kind of answer was he hoping for?
* * *
‘Was it a dream?’
Close your eyes for a moment and then open them.
Before we knew it, we had arrived in front of the airport.
I couldn’t even remember what the dream was.
It just seemed like the sea was coming out.
“Well, we’re all here! “I’ll get off!”
Sikbang leads from the front like a school teacher.
Everyone gets down and takes out their luggage, talking loudly.
“Whoa. brother. “It’s finally here!”
Chi-seung gets excited and grabs Sang-hyeon’s arm and shakes him.
“…Still in Korea?”
“no! The airport! airplane!”
“Ah…”
Chiseung is so excited that he even came to the airport.
“There’s nothing special about the airport.”
Sang-hyeon smiled and calmed down Chi-seung.
“oh. brother. I guess he came here often. “Please guide me.”
‘I forget everything every time I come here.’
Even when I came here often, the airport was something I always got lost in.
Sang-hyeon is desperately deciding to just follow the front row.
“I go first.”
“uh? brother. Why are you in a hurry? Please guide me!”
I walked quickly so as not to miss the front row.
Clearly, up to this point, he was neither very excited nor nervous.
To him, the airport is just a confusing and complicated place.
It is not a space with great inspiration.
When a valuable buyer from abroad came, he went out to meet him, or when a relevant executive left, he went out to see him off…
To him, the airport was a kind of annoying entertainment venue.
It was just that kind of place.
It was definitely like that…
The airport he entered today was a completely different space than before.
“!”
Since we arrived early in the morning, it was still dark outside.
Suddenly the whole world turns bright white.
The large crowd of people reflected in Sanghyun’s wide-eyed eyes.
“Waaaaaaah!!!!”
There was a huge cheer.
Paaang!
phut!
Reporters’ camera flashes, countless fans, and even airport police lined up…
Sanghyun could not help but stare blankly at this scene for a long time with his eyes wide open.
‘This is just…’
This was very similar to the scene he always pictured in his head.
‘It’s like a real national team.’
