Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 102

Episode 102: Approaching the End of the Month

– Monday, the 28th.

All the crew members gathered to play Meundi, which is trending on Pangea TV.

Meundi is short for ‘Maple Luck Defense Game,’ a popular user map from StarCraft. To explain for those who don’t know, think of mobile tower defense games.

Groups of increasingly strong monsters emerge each round, and players must gather a certain amount of resources to choose between two options: the first is a random gacha to spawn troops, and the second is upgrading to steadily improve base performance.

Interestingly, each crew member’s personality shines through in their gameplay.

“This has to be all about the gacha! No matter how many upgrades you do, if you don’t get good-grade troops, you won’t even clear the second boss round. I’m only rolling for gacha until I get something legendary!”

Mayo was going all in for a life-changing play.

The funny thing is that this gambly approach surprisingly leads to a high win rate.

Or should I say, Mayo’s luck is just good?

She manages to pull high-grade troops and ranks high in the rounds.

“This is all about stability. Look at the gacha rates. Huh? You go for that one shot and end up losing everything. You’ve got to have savings and sign up for essential insurance… What? Isn’t it too early for cancer insurance? Hey, don’t let your guard down like that; you’ll ruin your life. Don’t dismiss what I’m saying.”

Is this the wisdom of a 30-year-old showing through in gameplay?

Miho was all about safety first.

After achieving the milestone upgrade value necessary to reliably clear each round, she would slowly add troops through gacha.

So, while the number of wins among us was low, there were no collapses early on, so she ended up averaging to take second place.

“Uh, uh? Here, um… what do I press? Ah! This is for upgrading different races? No! I’m ruined. Huh? You want me to spend some money? Oh my! When did I accumulate 100 won? I’ll use it right away.”

“……”

Lucy was the typical gamer newbie.

Moreover, she was easily swayed by the viewers’ chat.

So many unsolicited advice givers flocked to her.

With advice pouring in every 10 seconds, looking at the chat room felt like losing one’s mind.

Still, her resilience to not fall apart was commendable.

What? So what place did Lucy end up in?

Is she a malicious individual? Of course, she came in last, trying to last until the end.

And without a doubt, I was the overwhelming first place.

Ha! For a game like this, it’s easy as pie for me.

-Wow;; really legendary luck in a trash game, here comes the mythical troops

-Isn’t this just the server master’s scam map? Seo-Ah’s judgment is ridiculous, and she’s just wiping the floor with luck

-I told you to get your upgrades to 15/15 before facing the second boss, yet you still ignore that. Seriously want to smack them

“Ah, since I’m first, I can’t hear the words of the commoners? In the end, I’ve ‘proven’ myself.”

Ignoring the uproar of the viewers’ complaints, I concluded the content cheerfully with the crew.

On top of that, I took first place and also gained 3,000 candies from the crew content funding!

It was a pleasantly satisfying day.

– Tuesday, the 29th.

I was busy from the morning.

With mayo and Miho’s recordings finished, I did a first check and quickly handed it over to the workers.

As soon as that was done, I received a call on Discord from none other than Mr. Lena’s Land!

A bit nervous, I answered, and right from the start, he started firing off words like a machine g*n.

“Seo-Ah, Seo-Ah. It’s just that I received a note last night, you know? From Decrescendo, that leader named Park Nana. They asked politely, but the crux of the matter is that they want direct entry to the server without any applications. H! Isn’t that a bit presumptuous? What do you think, Seo-Ah? I’m curious.”

My mind was racing, and my ears were ringing.

More than anything, I felt again.

Mr. Lena’s Land is not someone to get close to.

To spill such intimate talk to someone else.

That means what I say can also be passed on to someone at any time.

Since ancient times, it has been said to keep a distance from loose-mouthed people.

Still, being the server master of Lena World, I couldn’t be rude just yet.

For now, I decided to soothe his feelings.

Of course, that didn’t mean I would criticize Park Nana.

Looking at what Mr. Lena’s Land is doing now, I felt he would be the type to whine to Park Nana as soon as there was a bit of friction between us.

Best to avoid any unnecessary conflict.

So, I aimed to relieve Mr. Lena’s Land’s mood with general remarks.

“It might feel that way, but I think it’s a choice that will greatly help the server. If both Decrescendo and we enter the server, the interest of the viewers will be focused, and streamers will apply more actively.”

I subtly highlighted the existence of the Poco Server.

I persuaded him that it would be better for the Decrescendo crew to show interest in Lena World rather than the other.

Then, having seemingly finished calculating in his head, Mr. Lena’s Land’s voice calmed significantly.

“Come to think of it, you’re right. It was Poco Server, right? Orikung is leading the opening… H, unbelievable. At LebitTV, they just do trolling, and then come here to play Minecraft.”

“……”

True to his past self, he had previously advised members of Lena Universe to not get too close to Orikung, showing his distaste for others.

But does he know?

That in the future, he will become a target of even more hatred than Orikung.

In fact, Orikung is being held back due to past sins at LebitTV, but Mr. Lena’s Land is facing public disdain for actions he will commit at Pangea TV, making Orikung’s situation look a hundred times better compared to his.

‘Well, it’s not something I need to worry about. After all, my dealings with Mr. Lena’s Land will end once we reach Lena World 2.’

Until then, it’s just a matter of catering to him appropriately.

This is truly the business of an adult.

Having vented considerably about Orikung, Mr. Lena’s Land seemed to relieve quite a bit of stress, finishing the call on a pleasant note.

Haha, surely he doesn’t think of me as a scapegoat?

Having now completed the morning schedule safely, it was time for the upcoming afternoon broadcast.

I briefly pondered what to do today.

Yesterday’s Meundi content had been quite a good way to k*ll time.

The crew’s energy was lively, and viewer responses were good.

Being a four-player game, it was just perfect for crew content and seems it could be revisited often in the future.

However, separate from that, I couldn’t think of any suitable content for today’s broadcast.

It couldn’t be helped.

No matter how genius a streamer might be, they can’t bring something fresh every single day.

If it were LebitTV, I could easily run a casual stream using video donations.

‘Pangea TV also has a video candy sponsorship feature, but it’s only for internal clips, so it’s hardly used. Moreover, there’s a perception that the viewers cut the flow of the stream, so it’s not seen in a good light.’

That perception has blurred considerably since the service ended for Rabbit TV Korea, and a massive transfer of streamers occurred.

Moreover, from the second half of 2024, video candy sponsorships using YouTube videos became possible, leading to a significant increase in viewers using that feature.

– Oh? I know about video candy, so what is today’s content?

– Don’t tell me that the legendary Seo-Ah, who took first place in yesterday’s Meundi, didn’t prepare any content? Foreshadowing something big today, haha.

– For real lol, just say ㅋㅋ

“……”

They really are such sneaky ones.

Having come first, I should at least be able to brag a bit, yet they keep dredging up what happened yesterday.

Still, I remained unfazed.

Despite everything, I’m a streamer with a ‘professional’ mindset aiming for full-time.

I can’t afford to lose in this battle of wits with the viewers.

Handling the opening talk skillfully, I stealthily used my left hand to log into the fan cafe on my phone.

Surely, I’d find something useful in the recommended content board.

After around ten minutes of diligent searching, luckily, I found content titled ‘Gukbap’ that seemed safe to use for today.

Cautiously checking the viewer’s reactions, I introduced today’s content.

“Alright everyone, today we’re doing ‘Ideal Type World Cup’ for the first time in a while! Woohoo! Everyone’s excited, right? I wonder what theme the World Cup will have. My heart’s already racing!”

– Another Ideal Type World Cup, stop it

– Last week, you put up a rest notice with that professor and now this…

– Honestly, I had nothing to do today, so I was sneaking a peek at the cafe when I saw Seo-Ah choose the Ideal Type World Cup, that’s a big thumbs up~

“Not a big thumbs up~ but here, eat this.”

I proudly presented my stiffened middle finger to the viewers as I executed the Ideal Type World Cup.

And thus, the end of the month drew ever closer.
