Genius Archer's Streaming
Season 2: Chapter 104: Instruction Manual for Almond (3)Letgo filed a report with trembling rage. However…
Responses usually took more than a day, but one cback almost instantly as if their system had been set to automatically respond.
"… What? Without even checking?!"
Letgo found the response unbelievable. It could only mean one thing when a response cback like this. The player being reported had already proved their innocence in a past case.
"This... this skill?"
That meant the archery skills of the black-haired archer he just faced were genuine.
"Bullshit. These money-hungry bastards…"
The frustrated Letgo changed his profile picture to the national leader of China.

While Letgo was dumbfounded, BornToB felt jubilant.
"Wow!"
Was it because they won? No. He had won before even though he was B rank for life.
The strategy actually worked properly, meaning they could win the next gand the gafter that.
He could finally reach A rank.
BornToB felt overwhelmed with emotion and started babbling, "Wow, this is really happening! Almond, you're the best! I had no idea what to do next!"
He made an innocent remark out of excitement, but Almond and the viewers felt quite shocked.
The viewers realized the true nature of Kimchi Warrior’s eighty percent win rate strategy.
In truth, the strategy Kimchi Warrior prepared was less of a strategy and more of a “How to Use Almond” guide that didn’t require any skill from the commander. It was a brutally simple strategy that simply involved getting Almond (the archer) out as quickly as possible and charging toward the enemy. This was the most efficient strategy while playing as a duo with Almond.
Kimchi Warrior hadn’t taught Almond any strategies because there was nothing to teach. All Almond had to do was rush out, shoot, and kill. What more was there to hint at?
At this point, the viewers split into two factions.
Those who thought this strategy couldn't continue and…
The viewers grew divided and sadvised others to judge later. In truth, Almond didn’t have much of a choice despite their divided opinions. He already decided to join the national competition. Kimchi Warrior would ultimately make the judgment as the coach, so Almond didn’t even consider the debates about whether or not Kimchi Warrior could be trusted.
Almond glanced at the chat and noticed many messages that seemed different from his usual viewers. He immediately realized something with his considerable experience as a streamer.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThese viewers seemed to be from a different community. They argued that the strategy used in the recent gwas very risky and that Kimchi Warrior or BornToB was making a big mistake.
These viewers weren't wrong. The last gdid have many precarious moments. As they said, if the enemy commander had changed the location of the defensive towers, it would have been much more troublesome.
Almond put these concerns aside. What could he, who only played as a commander once during a tutorial, possibly figure out? It was better to consult directly with the person involved.
It would be interesting to hear what Kimchi Warrior thought.

Meanwhile, posts supporting Almond increased in the Embul community.
The criticisms targeted the commander’s lack of strategy more and seven claimed to have solutions. Viewers who watched Almond's stream for the first tstarted liking him for his cheerful personality.
Of course, many were still reserving their judgment.
Supporters and critics of Almond appeared. The rafluctuated, but one thing remained constant. Almond's viewership kept increasing.
"Hmm."
Kimchi Warrior scanned the community with a thoughtful look.
"Not bad."
In fact, he expected much worse backlash when news spread in the community that a B rank was joining the national team. This was relatively smooth sailing in comparison. Seven hoped that Almond would reach S+ and quickly join the team.
A user named Faeling had written that post. This user had been active on Embul for quite a long time.
As the comments showed, gaining recognition from Faeling was a big deal.
Kimchi Warrior felt genuinely grateful that he wrote such a post. Just then…
"Ah, you must have cto get feedback."
"Yes.” Almond greeted him and immediately inquired about his curiosity, "The viewers seemed anxious about the strategy..."
"Do you wantto share the chat window with you?" Almond offered.
"Yes, that would be great."
Ridicule already filled the chat toward Kimchi Warrior.
Kimchi Warrior smoothly continued, "Anything more complex than this wouldn't yield as much efficiency even with practice. But this fast archer rush? Even BornToB is making troops as fast as an A+ rank now."
"Yes, it's pretty fast now. No other strategy would’ve been this quick. And it's also the best for Almond. If the situation is too complex, he’ll struggle to make decisions and won’t be able to fully exert his strength. We’re making that almost nonexistent in the early game."
"This is not underestimating Walnut. Anyone with little gaming experience would struggle in a chaotic battlefield where cavalry is running around and ambush troops are appearing here and there. That's why I prepared this strategy. Trust it and give it a try."
Kimchi Warrior felt the sentiment had improved considerably and turned his attention back to Almond. It was tto give him feedback.
"Now, Almond. I have just one thing as feedback this time."
"Yes," Almond replied.
Kimchi Warrior projected the minimap as a hologram and drew out a route.
"When entering the enemy base, always go through the forest and look for workers first. You encountered soldiers last time, right? That's unnecessary. Normally."
"Ah..."
"As you move through the forest, you'll first encounter workers chopping wood. Start by killing them. That way, they can't produce archers or build towers. They'll all need wood."
This was an unexpectedly good tip for Almond.
"Oh... that's right. Thank you."
"Other than that, you did everything well. Let's see the next gand I’ll give you feedback again."
Almond’s trust in Kimchi Warrior grew after the straightforward feedback session. He was eager to play again and apply those tips in the game.
"Let's move on to the next gright away."
Unlike before, they quickly found a match this time.

After the gstarted, BornToB naturally stuck to the sstrategy.
BornToB allocated the workers like a machine and upgraded to the second era, the Feudal Age, as soon as he collected enough gold. Then, he began building an archery range without a single tower as soon as he collected enough wood.
Everything went exactly the sas the previous round, down to every detail.
For BornToB, this was the result of all his efforts. However, the veteran community viewed it as a sly and stupid spoon-fed strategy.
For example, the comment section turned into a battleground when such a post appeared.
Many felt pessimistic about the strategy and others slowly started to support Almond.
The sentiments gradually balanced out into half-half.
Then─
"It's done...!"
BornToB summoned Almond.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt happened at the stas the last gat four minutes and fifty-three seconds. At that moment, the community posts noticeably slowed down.
Almond had been summoned at precisely the stand viewers marveled at the exact timing.
"Let's rush right away."
Summoning Almond took the samount of tas the previous round, but how long the archer rush took would change. He no longer aimlessly hesitated and wasted time.
Almond immediately charged according to the commander’s ping. BornToB didn’t hesitate either and only placed command pings without any other remarks. Much had improved even though it was only their second round.
“The distance is closer this time.”
The enemy appeared closer than in the last game.
In less than thirty seconds, Almond arrived at the enemy base.
As Almond entered the forest path, other archers who just spawned began to follow him.
"Hey, bro. Let's go together."
"I'm here too! Three's a good number to start with!"
They naturally recognized him as their leader. Together, four archers forged their way through the forest path.
A little ahead, they heard the sound of axes.
Just as Kimchi Warrior said, they would encounter workers chopping wood. Almond hid in the bushes and waited in case enemy archers were nearby.
Unlike the previous round, this enemy commander seemed completely unprepared.
However, they had a lot of workers. This commander intended to advance not only to the second era, but also to the third era very quickly.
With that thought, Almond drew back his bowstring.
His companions who followed asked, "Are we shooting from here?"
"So soon?"
Almond’s arrow answered their questions.
The arrow flew through the bushes and trees, precisely striking a worker's head. It penetrated so accurately and forcefully that it sounded like tofu being pierced.
The worker collapsed with a single shot. The allies who were just beginning to string their bows murmured in surprise.
"!?"
"… Wow."
"Whoa. What's that?"
It wasn't just Almond’s archery skills that surprised them.
A trumpet resounded and a message appeared.
