GENIUS ARCHER'S STREAMING

Chapter 57: Surprise Announcement (2)

Only the top 0.5% of players in Battle Large?reached diamond rank. It was one of the highest achievable ranks for casual players.

Master and grandmaster ranks existed above diamond, but those weren’t achievable unless someone poured their entire life into the game. Most amateurs, even the skilled ones, would only reach diamond at best.

Sang-Hyeon announcing that he would reach diamond wasn't too farfetched.

However...

"I think it’ll take around two weeks to reach."

— ???

— Sorry?!

— What are you talking about?

— No...

— Bruhhh…Can you back up your words?!

— This guy is nuts...

— Are you drunk or something?!

One of the best gamers of the century, JeonJaPa, took a month to reach diamond in Battle Large.

Of course, he hadn't spent all his time streaming or playing the game. He reached diamond by casually and naturally playing, but still set the industry record. It was like Usain Bolt setting a world record while having the luxury to look back during the race. JeonJaPa's skills were miles ahead of everyone else.

"Yes, I’ll try to reach it in two weeks. It seemed possible when I calculated it."

A new streamer, who only played two rounds of Battle Large,?announced that he would reach diamond two times faster than JeonJaPa and set a new world record.

'I'm aware.'

Almond wasn't stupid. He knew how preposterous that sounded. However, he was even more aware of his skills and capabilities.

'I was ahead of JeonJaPa in the training tutorial. To be fair, I don't know how hard he was trying."?

As always, Sang-Hyeon trusted in his abilities. The records backed him up as well.

World record? Sang-Hyeon had been battling to achieve world records since high school. To break the record was only natural for him.

To put it simply, he had always been encouraged to break records. It made sense and was achievable when he calculated it. That was Sang-Hyeon's philosophy and all he needed.

— It took JeonJaPa a month...

— Logically, it's possible.

— Theoretically, it'd be possible if he got top ten in every game. But he'd have to play around 7-8 hours every day.

— Why are you guys so serious? Just watch him.

— He's saying it as a joke. Don't take him seriously.

Some understandably passed off Sang-Hyeon’s declaration as a joke. It sounded like a no-name basketball player announcing that he would break Michael Jordan's records. Anyone would laugh at them.

That was just how the world worked and Sang-Hyeon expected that. Their reactions didn’t affect him.

'At least I have the opportunity to challenge it."

Sang-Hyeon appreciated the chance to even break the record because he no longer had that opportunity in archery.

Clench.

It felt like his right arm shook when he tightly clenched his teeth.

Was this anger? No.

Thump.
