Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 101

Episode 101: A Name to Look Forward To

Sunday, November 27.

A new notice from Mr. Lena’s Land has been posted, and our V-Live Crew, led by me, quickly left application comments relatively early.

In fact, the trick to gaining many ups in such application notice posts is undoubtedly the prominence of the applicant, but posting comments early is also important.

Sometimes you see people mindlessly upvoting the majority of participants, and fans of the broadcaster feel grateful for the content provided by the main base, often upvoting everything.

So, by commenting early, even those with lower prominence can unexpectedly achieve high rankings.

Furthermore, if the content of the application comment is substantial or clever, that’s even better.

Just like me.

“Lena, Lena Land~♬ I’m a long-time fan of Mr. Lena’s Land!

I’ve always been very interested in Minecraft, and I’m truly grateful that you’ve opened a server.

I’ll enjoy it thoroughly, Lena, Lena Land~♪ [up 1451]

It was an encouraging result that Mr. Lena, not being a major streamer yet and with Lena World not being widely recognized, received over 1400 ups in just one day.

It must be thanks to the synergy created by the prominence + quick application + clever content that I mentioned earlier.

Our crew members also recorded high rankings following my lead.

Lucy, who has known me for a longer period, came in second, as she has a friendly rapport with my fans, while Miho and Mayo ranked 3rd and 4th with a narrow margin.

In some sense, this was a natural outcome.

Prika, being of a higher caliber than us, was too busy calming the internal strife from the Na-roshi incident and still had no interest in this area because they were too blind to outside streams.

Pocotin was busy preparing for the ‘Poco Server,’ and it was only natural that there would be no support since the relationship between their leader Orikung and Mr. Lena was poor.

Lastly, there was Decrescendo, and according to rumors, they were also preparing a small-scale Mark server.

Since there’s a perception that virtual is equal to Minecraft due to its origin (Japan), it seems they were considering trying it out, but the announcement of the Poco Server came first, creating a dilemma.

Getting a reputation as a follower would damage their image, and it would be insufficient to monopolize attention in the already small virtual pie while also competing with the Poco Server.

“That’s why Park Nana is being smart. She’s persuaded all crew members to follow Mr. Lena’s Land.”

Before my regression, Decrescendo had not even bothered to post application comments led by Park Nana.

Park Nana personally dealt with Mr. Lena and entered all of Decrescendo into the server without any applications.

At that time, Mr. Lena, whose self-esteem was significantly diminished, had no choice but to accept that deal.

Decrescendo was the most successful virtual crew on Pangea TV, excluding Prika.

“Will they skip posting application comments again this time? I think it might not be easy.”

Having groomed them diligently helped restore a degree of self-esteem for Mr. Lena, and since the crew of V-Live had already secured their entry into the server, there was no reason for Mr. Lena to continue bowing down.

Already a personification of ambition, Mr. Lena wouldn’t want to miss an opportunity to take control.

It would also be a minor pleasure to see if Decrescendo members would comment on the application post.

“Okay. Entering Lena World has been successfully decided. Now I need to focus on other things.”

There was the avatar work assigned to the Bebetang artist to prepare for Minecraft.

It may seem trivial, but such details are always important.

They can enhance the fun and immersion for the viewers.

I had previously suggested this to the crew members, but all three said they were currently too strapped for cash.

I guess upgrading equipment comes first, huh?

That statement was indeed correct.

A virtual streamer’s life depends on their equipment.

Human streamers can just run the content-game from the Pangea TV program ‘Freakshot,’ but for virtual, there are many programs that must be linked to display avatars, facial features, and special effects.

Thus, naturally, high-performance equipment is necessary.

Otherwise, due to the computer’s performance not keeping up, the broadcast would often lag or even shut down.

“Should I lend a bit? Of course, I don’t have that much spare cash either, but maybe 1 million won per person…”

I was slightly worried about lending too much and missing out on a major investment period coming in January, but fortunately, all three of them gratefully declined.

“I really appreciate your thought, but it’s not like I’m struggling to make ends meet, and I want to handle this with my own means.”

“Hey, hey! Leader, though I may be older, I have some pride. Still, thanks for worrying about me.”

“… I absolutely hate debt. No exceptions.”

Mayo’s voice sounded a bit uncomfortable as she clenched her teeth, but that was the end of that matter.

Each of us decided to take care of our own equipment.

In fact, I wasn’t too worried about it.

Once we enter Lena World, everyone’s income will surely skyrocket.

Then there will be some spare cash.

“Continuously talking about money may seem vulgar, but honestly, nothing is more important than this.”

The quality of the broadcast, stable living, and even retirement all depended on the broadcast income.

Moreover, female broadcasters generally have a short career lifespan.

Go search around.

How many female streamers in their 40s do you find?

Even if they exist, how many earn a sufficient income to consider it a full-time job?

That’s why I believe female streamers need to work hard and make money at their peak time, even if they get some backlash.

Viewers can’t be responsible for a streamer’s retirement.

Or I think transitioning to dual job broadcasting at the right timing is a good option for a beautiful conclusion.

Ah, did I dive too deeply into this unnecessarily?

In any case, the V-Live Crew was currently flowing well according to my plans.

At the same time, I still can’t forget to keep an eye on things.

I occasionally poked Lucy in the ribs to check Bluebee’s reactions.

Having worked hard to highlight the advantages of the Poco Server, we would support it unless a major variable arose.

After all, Lena Server had officially stated that they wouldn’t block support from other servers, so on the surface, there shouldn’t be any problem.

“However, contrary to what’s publicly stated, there will be personal issues with Mr. Lena.”

The amount of time wasted on the Poco Server is also a significant blow.

There’s so much that could be accomplished in a week at Lena World.

I leisurely had a meal while accessing the Pandeo Forum after a long time.

I wanted to check the bottom sentiments of the masses.

“But the atmosphere seems quite different from when I last visited.”

Before the regression, Joo-Ddak managed the Pandeo Forum more strictly, but now Joo-Ddak was somewhat more open, and there were frequent Gold Cups happening.

Especially with Decrescendo and Pocotin emerging, those Gold Cups were growing larger.

After all, fandom fights have historically been a precursor to Gold Cups.

– Preparing for the Poco Server like a dog

The prize money is considerable, and there are plenty of streamers from LebitTV looking to participate.

Isn’t this a big hit waiting to happen?

“I saw the applicants, but honestly, it seems to be just a gathering of Hako under 30 casual viewers. Is that really a hit?”

“Honestly, I don’t have high expectations for the Decrescendo members to participate; who would watch a war server filled with Hako? Haha.”

“Are you a Decrescendo fan? Your comments are quite insolent. They’re opening the server to work together, and you can’t even cheer for them?”

“LOL? They’re just opening the server for their own selfish reasons, pretending it’s for virtuals? Ridiculous.”

“Whoa… Fans of Hako, there’s a fight breaking out here!”

– Honestly, Pocotin fans seem problematic since their owner resembles them.

It seems like if the streamer is a community addict, more than half of the fans are community members too, right? If not, feel free to argue. Haha! Hiyoshi got caught accessing the community during the last broadcast.

“And here comes a community enthusiast writing.”

“Did you scratch the one above?”

“Honestly, Decrescendo members do broadcast quite stably.”

– Honestly, what do you think about the success rate of the Poco Server?

With the Ugaidol Audition over and nothing big going on lately, it feels like the virtual realm is sinking again; I hope the Poco Server succeeds and provides momentum.

“I’m responding seriously to your serious comment, but I think it’s a bit ambiguous. Just because Pocotin fans and Hako streamer fans show up, do you think the viewership in Orikung’s relay room will reach 2,000? I think it’s tough.”

“I agree with the comment above. I think it needs to surpass at least 2,000 to be worth the investment, but just looking at the name value, I think even 1,500 would be touch-and-go.”

“No matter how you look at it, you’re being unnecessarily negative. If the three of them collaborate, they’ll at least get 1,000 viewers. And just how many participants are there?”

Amidst the back-and-forth banter over the Gold Cup, there were numerous posts centered around the Poco Server.

And most contained negative views regarding its success.

It was due to the lack of substance among participants despite the grand explanations provided.

The atmosphere circulating among streamers reflected this sentiment as well.

Hako streamers might aim for the prize money, but for those with prominence, is it really worth it?

Even if they participate, they can’t guarantee the prize money 100%, and it needs to be divided among the number of participants, which makes the income aspect unappealing.

The prominent virtuals are still earning quite well.

In that atmosphere, the focus has ultimately returned to Decrescendo and V-Live.

There’s a persistent call to unite for the revival of the virtual realm and create a successful server.

Ah, of course, the majority of Pocotin fans are leading this sentiment.

Conversely, fans from Decrescendo and our crew are hoping for the Poco Server to fail.

After all, they’re not in a position to support a competitor’s success.

“Who will walk into the trap, I wonder.”

The most anticipated is, of course, Bluebee, but I was thinking about other potential harvests as well.

Before the regression, the Decrescendo crew was blown up, and I know the Poco Server would have some influence as well.

The Poco Server is, in many ways, a name to look forward to.
