**Genius Archer's Streaming Season 1 Episode 13**
**6. Perfect Shot (1)**
Dotorimuk had bad memories regarding Perfect Shot.
The memory of getting beaten down for claiming that Perfect Shot actually existed.
-Ah, this bastard's talking shit again.
-Is the game company stupid? Would they make something like that?
-The conditions are so demanding.
-If something like that exists, show it to us yourself.
Dotorimuk felt unjustly treated.
'Yeah... I want to show them too.'
He could only intuit that the feature existed, but didn't actually have the ability to demonstrate it.
In the end, Perfect Shot became like a hypothesis created by Dotorimuk, and as he quit the bow challenge, it was gradually forgotten.
Currently, regular players didn't even know of Perfect Shot's existence.
That's why Almond's chat looked like this right now.
-Dotorimuk's going on about Perfect Shot again.
-Is Perfect Shot some kind of feature?
-Isn't it just an exclamation?
-Isn't it like "Boss, nice shot"?
There were some who tried to figure out what Dotorimuk's donation meant, but most seemed not to know.
-Does that actually exist?
-I thought it was just a rumor.
-Is that Dotorimuk for real right now?
-Where would something like that exist ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's just a fairy tale made up by bow hipster bastards.
-Bow-ster ㅋㅋㅋ
Some even thought Dotorimuk was playing a prank.
'Hah. So frustrating.'
Dotori poured out his frustration inwardly, but he had no way to do anything about it himself.
'If only Almond would say it clearly.'
The best method here would be for Sanghyeon to directly say that he indeed shot a Perfect Shot.
Do Jaemuk was waiting for that.
He wanted it to be revealed that he had been telling the truth all along. Now, finally, a human who could shoot Perfect Shots to their heart's content had appeared.
But……
"……Is there such a thing as a Perfect Shot?"
The shocking words that came from Sanghyeon's mouth.
Do Jaemuk stood in front of the monitor with his mouth agape for a moment.
'What?'
It was beyond shocking, bordering on mystical.
'No, everything he shot from start to finish was a Perfect Shot, but he doesn't know what it is? Is it a joke?'
Unfortunately, judging from Almond's expression and the words that followed, it definitely didn't seem like a joke.
"Is that an important feature?"
The person who personally proved the existence of Perfect Shot didn't know what Perfect Shot was.
Then was the boss a coincidence?
No, that couldn't be.
Perfect Shot was a valid judgment when killing other minor mobs besides bosses.
The feeling of death was completely different from a headshot.
If a headshot was a method of dying where damage was calculated after being hit, a Perfect Shot was just instant death.
They died the moment it touched.
This made no difference to regular players, but to top experts who fought over units of seconds, it was a very significant difference.
There was a difference that had a profound impact on the combat environment between dying instantly the moment the arrowhead embedded itself, and bleeding in agony as the arrow fully penetrated before dying.
For example, if you died from a headshot, you could shoot a bow before dying.
Or you might cling to life desperately before dying.
'Almond never suffered from that.'
As far as Do Jaemuk knew, Sanghyeon had never experienced such a thing. He had watched today's stream from the beginning, and they were all Perfect Shots.
[Dotorimuk donated 10,000 won.]
[No, you don't know about Perfect Shot?]
Sanghyeon nodded.
Because he really didn't know.
"Yes. What is it?"
No, how could he shoot Perfect Shots one after another without even knowing that?
Do Jaemuk was dumbfounded.
'Hah…….'
But at the same time, his heart raced.
'Just how much of a genius is he?'
He hits Perfect Shots every time without even knowing of their existence?
This felt like a different caliber even among geniuses.
'This is the real deal.'
Dotorimuk couldn't hide his excitement.
A collab stream with a capable rookie was a very positive element for a broadcast.
'I think I should promote it at this timing.'
He thought it would be good to slowly bring up the topic to the viewers.
The controversy about Perfect Shot was heating up, so the justification of putting it to rest would be just right.
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Dotori, give up…….
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ So you were still claiming Perfect Shot exists ㅋㅋㅋ
-Dotorimuk is so cute
-It's been so long since you quit the bow challenge and you're still hung up on it ㅋㅋㅋ
-He's a real nerd. He's serious.
Do Jaemuk, who had been waiting for the chat to heat up, made a donation at this point.
[Dotorimuk donated 10,000 won.]
[No. I'm telling you Perfect Shot really exists? I'll prove it to you. Almond. Collab tomorrow?]
When the collab suggestion came, the chat went into an uproar once again.
-Woah!
-Oh, is the rumor real?
-Looks like they're really doing a collab.
-Collabing with a tier 1 streamer within 3 days of streaming ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Insane talent.
-For real, insane talent.
-The obsession with Perfect Shot is no joke ㅁㅊ
-ㅋㅋㅋ The day of Dotorimuk's execution.
-It'll finally be revealed. That such a thing doesn't exist……ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
* * *
Seeing the chat scroll going up explosively, Sanghyeon immediately got the gist.
'Ah. This is promotion.'
Dotorimuk indeed had expertise in streaming. Building up like this and naturally connecting it to promotion.
'Creating something like Perfect Shot for this kind of promotional build-up. I'll learn a thing or two.'
Sanghyeon even thought that Perfect Shot was a concept that Do Jaemuk had intentionally mentioned to create controversy for this build-up, even though it didn't exist.
If Dotorimuk heard this, he might have genuinely lost his mind. He wanted to resolve his long-held grievances through Sanghyeon, but even Sanghyeon was considering it a simple business tactic.
"Collab?"
Sanghyeon tilted his head, feigning ignorance.
-Refuse it. If you get tainted by the Dotoridan, you're really screwed.
-Don't talk nonsense ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Ah, who's Dotorimuk! I'm Almond's! Fuck off!
-There's gonna be so many squirrel bastards coming in fuck
In the chat, there were also worries about Dotorimuk's fanbase, the Dotoridan, flowing in.
But from Sanghyeon's perspective, even they seemed to secretly be looking forward to the collab with Dotorimuk.
Moreover……
[Ruby Sword donated 10,000 won.]
[If you prove Perfect Shot in the collab, I'll give you 100,000 won more.]
Ruby Sword, who had set the boss one-shot one-kill mission, even declared that he would double the mission money if it was proven.
-Wow…… a big spender.
-Not just a nobody.
-Real respect…….
Sanghyeon had no reason to refuse here.
"Thank you, Ruby Sword. It's an honor for me. Collab sounds good."
The answer everyone had been waiting for flowed from his mouth.
-Kiya.
-We're screwed.
-Just you wait, Dotorimuk!
-Looks like Dotorimuk's viewers will all be stolen ㅋㅋㅋ
-Now eat Almonds instead of acorns, you squirrel bastards…….
As expected, the reaction was explosive.
Those who disliked Dotorimuk were pleased, expecting him to be miserably defeated by Almond's mechanics, and those who liked Dotorimuk were just happy about the collab itself.
[Dotorimuk donated 10,000 won.]
[Kya. You accepted so coolly. Thank you. Then I'll contact you again!]
Dotorimuk donated 10,000 won more as a final gesture and left.
-Ah. Come to think of it, they donated 120,000 won. No reaction?
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 'That reaction'ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-The 100,000 won reaction is ending the stream. Don't talk nonsense guys ㅡㅡ
-The reaction is ending the streamㅋㅋㅋ
"Ah. That's right. I didn't react. Though Dotorimuk probably won't see this……."
Sanghyeon thought it would be good to end the stream around now anyway. He had caught the boss, and expectations for tomorrow's collab had reached their peak.
Piwing!
He shot an arrow up into the sky.
"Chet!"
He raised both arms and ended the stream.
Puk!
[Death]
Once again, the capsule forcefully ejected, and Almond's avatar disappeared on its own.
* * *
Kiing.
Sanghyeon, who came out of the capsule covered in sweat, immediately started taking a cold shower.
Shwaaaa.
"Haa. But isn't it a bit dangerous if it ejects like this every time I die?"
Even so, it was a machine that directly manipulated brainwaves, so ejecting suddenly like this was a bit unsettling.
When he came out after showering, what greeted him was the vibration of his phone.
Bzzzt.
Wrapping a towel around his head and going closer, he saw it was Juhyeok.
[Juhyeok: I saw the stream. Seems like they want to meet tomorrow. Where should we gather?]
Sanghyeon laboriously tapped the screen with wet hands.
[Gather...? What are you talking about. Aren't we meeting online?]
[Juhyeok: Did you hear anything when we met last time? ㅡㅡ]
It was as if Juhyeok's expression was right before his eyes. That expression of letting out a deep sigh.
[Juhyeok: They don't just play games in the capsule, they also conduct interview content.]
[Juhyeok: Anyway, meeting in person would look much better, I told you back then.]
Ah, that's right.
Sanghyeon also vaguely remembered. Saying he wanted to do an interview too…….
Not an interview done with avatars in the virtual world, but an interview showing their actual faces.
Sanghyeon unnecessarily looked at the foggy bathroom mirror once more and gained a strange confidence.
[Ah, ok. Let's meet at Hugye Station or something.]
Sanghyeon replied like that and checked the reactions on the community site 'Kingchiman'.
[That Dotori bastard…… with his Perfect Shotㅋㅋㅋ]
[Dotorimuk suddenly appears on today's Almond stream]
[Almond ends stream with a reaction again…….]
Overall, they were posts with titles laughing about Almond's stream.
Among them, there was one post that received an especially high number of recommendations.
[Today's Almond stream boss one-shot cut analysis video]
This was a title that even Sanghyeon was curious about, so instead of just lurking, he went in directly.
There was an attached video.
It showed Sanghyeon using high-speed rapid fire.
At some point, the video slows down significantly.
It was the moment the boss appeared in the distance.
Without even knowing it was the boss, Sanghyeon instinctively drew the bowstring, and the arrow flew without hesitation as expected.
Puk!
The boss also, without exception, was hit precisely in the center of the forehead.
And the boss falls.
"So does this make it a Perfect Shot?"
But the problem was the excessively fast rapid fire speed.
Before the boss could even fall, another arrow embedded itself.
Actually, it was aimed at another horse bandit behind it, but the boss staggered and got hit one more time.
-Hey. Can't really tell with that.
-But it does stagger a lot after getting hit once?
-It's really ambiguous.
-It's too big, so it's actually more ambiguous.
-Anyway, he hits really well.
└For realㅋㅋ
└He headshots things he can't even see.
└It's even in the center. Gives me chills.
└For real, he only hits vitals right in the center.
The comment reactions were similar to Sanghyeon's thoughts.
Whether it fell from one hit, or staggered and fell after taking one more hit.
[It's already a fuss. It'll all be revealed tomorrow. We're doing a collab with Dotori tomorrow.]
[Reasons to look forward to tomorrow's stream.txt]
[Almond face prediction.jpg]
[Almond is definitely an ugly pig bastard]
Posts with such titles started to come up additionally.
The post regeneration gradually decreased, so Sanghyeon looked around this much and started preparing dinner.
Bzzt.
At that moment, his phone vibrated again.
[Juhyeok: Hey. Did you see AllTube? It's crazy.]
It was Juhyeok again.
[What are you talking about.]
[Juhyeok: Your video is up on AllTube. It was uploaded an hour ago and has almost 40,000 views.]
[We don't do AllTube…….]
[Juhyeok: It's Dotorimuk's channel. He made an intro+teaser video saying you're doing a collab.(Link)]
Sanghyeon immediately clicked the link and went in.
「I'm doing a collab with Jumong tomorrow.」
It was a video with this title.
[Views 46,000]
Just as Juhyeok said, the views were already in the 40,000 range. The video was uploaded an hour ago.
Sanghyeon, who played the video, couldn't close his mouth.
"Wow…… what is this."
It was supposed to be a collab introduction video, but it was practically a mad movie for Sanghyeon.
With exciting background music and multi-angle editing added, it felt more tense and exhilarating than simply shooting arrows.
Puk!
The scene of bosses falling in one shot was enough to give Sanghyeon shivers even when watching it again.
And at the end of the video, the scene of the horse bandit boss falling to an arrow appeared, and this message popped up:
[Whether this is a Perfect Shot or not. In tomorrow's collab.]
The video cut off there.
1,200 comments. And views continuously rising by the thousands.
-Wow…… I'm definitely watching tomorrow's collab.
-Insane. This is a rookie?
-Crazy…….
-All-time great guest, right?
-I was worried because he was a nobody ㅋㅋㅋ Turns out he was a discovery.
The viewers all eagerly anticipated the next day's collab.
The next day.
When Dotorimuk's stream turned on.
"Alright. Starting the stream."
It recorded an all-time high number of viewers.
