Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 111
Chapter 111: Justice is Alive
[Player Mayo has achieved the Diamond Mining achievement.]
“d*mn it! This luck-based sh*t game!”
– Seo Ah, what does that even mean right now?
– Lol, what was that genuine reaction just now? So funny!
– Seo Ah who has declared no diamonds for the past 40 minutes vs. Mayo who mined diamonds in just 5 minutes after wandering into a cave.
– Let’s go, let’s go! Exciting song~
– Congra☆tu☆la☆tions~ First diamond… Huh? This isn’t it, right? Haha.
– Don’t worry! Mayo-man has taken care of the diamonds!
I put in so much effort at the risk of falling into lava, only to be defeated by ‘Dtal-kak’ of luck.
This was definitely not because of the server’s first diamond acquisition mission that increased to 2,000 just 10 minutes ago.
It was just my rage against this irrational world.
“Ugh. My 2,000…”
[Seo-Ah’s Pouch has sponsored 1,000 Candies.]
– Still, good job. Mission completed!
“As expected of the Chairman! I really only have the Chairman. Everyone just teases and bothers me. Thank you!”
[Seo-Ah’s Pouch has sponsored 5 Candies.]
– Okay, got it. I’m going to visit Mayo’s room for a bit. Since Mayo is the first on the server, I need to go drop off 2,000.
“……”
Betrayer! There was no one on my side.
I swung my pickaxe fiercely, fueled by the blazing emotions.
Ah, this deep stone doesn’t break easily.
So I continued the furious mining for over 10 minutes.
Finally, I was able to discover a faintly glowing sky-blue diamond amidst the dark pile of deep stone.
“Diamond! Finally a diamond!”
I cheered.
Furthermore, it wasn’t just 2-3 diamonds that appeared.
After clearing and confirming the surrounding deep stones, I found a whopping 8 of them.
‘They say up to 10 blocks can cluster together theoretically. What a jackpot!’
It’s said that instances of more than 10 clusters occur only when diamonds are generated at the boundary of chunks, so even having 8 is an exceptional case.
Ugh, the first diamond after 50 minutes.
In truth, it was quite an unlucky case.
Still, it seemed like I had made enough of a recovery with so many blocks appearing at once.
‘Ah, I wish there was luck attached to this pickaxe right now.’
The enchantment ‘Fortune’ is an option that increases the amount of materials received based on a certain probability.
Along with mending, it can be said that it’s essential for farming equipment!
It may seem trivial, but the probabilities applied cannot be easily ignored.
If I assume I’m mining diamond blocks with a pickaxe enchanted with Fortune III, a 40% chance means one will come out like a regular pickaxe, but for the remaining 60%, it can randomly yield 2-4.
If there are 8 blocks like now, even if just 4 burst twice, there’s an immense difference in the amount gathered.
‘This is why I need to quickly get diamond gear and enchant. If I run hard at the start, I can widen the gap even more.’
While others mine 1 diamond at a time, I could be averaging 2-3 times that?
Moreover, it doesn’t end there.
Equipping the enchantment option ‘Efficiency’ allows for rock removal at multiple rates, drastically altering work speed.
At that point, I’ll truly experience a world transformed.
“8 diamonds! Those who were doubting earlier are back!”
As I presented my results, the previously prideful mining enthusiasts started to bow down, praising me as the god of diamonds.
I smiled satisfactorily, showing off my diamond mining achievement message spreading across the world map.
But I still craved victory.
Like Guus Hiddink.
“Huh?”
At that moment, another streamer’s nickname appeared in my achievement message, swaying alongside.
Who is this? This person is pretty fast too.
“……”
Just for a moment, I was amazed.
Upon seeing the nickname ‘Tunyang’, I recalled memories from before the regression.
The incident that sparked the most controversy in Lena World.
***
Lena World had been operating for nearly half a year.
And with over 100,000 viewership, there had been quite a few incidents and accidents.
Most of them were, ironically, the result of Lena Land’s management, actions, and verbal slips, but it was somewhat understandable.
In fact, when a game’s involved, the one who receives the most criticism is ultimately the operator.
Complaining about unbalanced class balance.
Complaining that resources are too hard to obtain.
When they become easier to get, whining that anyone can get endgame equipment.
Complaining about a lack of content.
It’s just a never-ending array of complaints.
I’ve never seen operations that passed without receiving any blame while watching Pangea TV.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I support Lena Land’s actions.
Anyway, there was definitely a particular incident where Lena Land dealt with things resolutely.
It could be called the worst incident in Lena World: the “X-Ray Resource Pack Revelation” incident.
Some streamers in Lena World used an X-ray resource pack that allowed them to see through walls and accumulated an immense amount of diamonds.
And they leveraged the sales revenue for unjust gains.
For example, by giving money and items to big company streamers to win their favor or excessively promoting their own abilities within their ‘company’.
Many were punished, but the one who received the most criticism for the largest sum and detestable behavior was none other than Tunyang.
He claimed to pass on his “diamond mining secrets” while even mentioning ‘Chunkron’.
He would also belittle the members of his own company for not being able to mine diamonds efficiently.
Those bad actions became poison, and when the X-ray incident erupted, no one stood up for Tunyang.
In fact, even the members of his own company laughed at him.
‘This is a bit bitter.’
What kind of mindset led to such illegal behavior?
I wouldn’t have committed such an act, even if I were feeling guilty or fearful.
An earnest desire for success?
A desire to stand out by earning more money than anyone else?
I don’t know, in the end, I wouldn’t understand unless it was myself.
I don’t particularly want to understand.
What I was concerned about before entering Lena World was how to deal with that incident.
Should I report it to the management beforehand and have it dealt with?
But if I did that, the history I knew would likely change significantly.
I needed to capitalize on the information from the future before regression, but that would result in a loss.
So I decided to choose to stand by for now.
It was an incident, but ultimately I needed to move in the direction that benefited me the most.
Of course, as someone with a conscience, if this incident would cause someone immense harm, I would have cleanly given up my benefits to report it.
But it wasn’t like that.
It was simply an incident where only the perpetrators would be punished, so there was no need for serious consideration.
‘For now… let’s leave it up to them to use it freely. I don’t know exactly when they started using it but…’
And I resolved.
I wouldn’t create any involvement with that streamer as much as possible.
If an incident arises and someone misunderstands, it could become a troublesome matter…
“Gah! My food is all gone. I’ll head back to town for now.”
– Let’s use Lena Coins since there’s mining loss.
– 17 diamonds, wow. How much equipment can I make with this number?
– Seo Ah seems to be first in diamonds on the server right now?
– But why isn’t Seo Ah getting attacked by monsters? Other streamers have been in chaos since earlier.
“Monsters? That’s because I entered the underground quite deep really early on. Monsters have a certain spawning rule; you should check that out yourself. Just know you’re unlikely to see them in such a narrow place.”
After a brief contemplation, I boldly decided to use the Lena Coins.
Since I had wandered off far while mining in a frenzy, the time loss to walk back felt too significant.
Considering the diamond sell price is 5,000, the purchase cost of Lena Coins would break even.
With the time saved, if I can mine at least one more diamond, it would be a gain mindset.
‘Actually, it feels a bit wasteful to sell diamonds.’
I had nothing else to sell for other ores.
To focus entirely on diamonds, I had barely gathered enough iron ore and burrowed down to -54.
There was no other choice.
For now, I had to sell a few diamonds to buy coins and food, then head back underground to mine more…
“Oh!”
The process of returning to the town was simple.
Holding the Lena Coin in my hand, I used it, and instantly the screen shifted to beside the village fountain.
It was a very convenient item that could always be used unless in combat.
‘Let’s sell just 2 for now.’
I found the miner NPC and sold 2 diamonds, earning 10,000 Lena.
Here, Lena was the currency unit of the server.
To trade among streamers, one had to exchange for Lena coins through the NPC to itemize it, with the types depending on the units.
– Bronze Lena (100) / Silver Lena (1,000) / Gold Lena (10,000).
Later, as the amount of money flooding into the server increased, the larger unit of Platinum Lena also appeared, but that was a story for the future.
I bought one Lena Coin and a bunch of bread, then thought for a moment.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s night. I heard mobs are roaming around a lot.’
Since I had to make equipment anyway, after a brief contemplation, I crafted 2 diamond pickaxes and 1 diamond sword.
Each pickaxe took 3 diamonds, while the sword used 2, leaving me with 7 diamonds remaining.
‘Let’s save the armor for now. If my luck is poor and it takes another 50 minutes to discover…’
For now, the performance of the pickaxes was my utmost priority.
Having made that decision, I moved to the world map.
“Huh?”
However, right as I exited the warehouse, I encountered two streamers.
Checking their nicknames above their heads, they were labeled Dorai and Koko-nyang.
No way, how did a nickname like Dorai even exist?
“Stop! Raise your hands and give me everything you have!”
At that moment, the two held iron swords threateningly towards me.
From the general vibe, it seemed they were putting together some kind of robbery storyline.
‘How can there be such a crime this early in the server? I can never forgive this!’
Fueled by a sense of justice, I couldn’t bear to witness this injustice.
So, I pulled out my diamond sword and shouted.
“Raise your hands and give me everything you have!”
“……”
The justice of Lena World was alive.
