Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 113
Chapter 113: The Conclusion of the Pickaxe
On the surface, things seemed calm, but beneath it lay the fierce struggles of day-to-day life that lasted for several days.
During this time, there were many significant developments.
First and foremost, the most joyous news was that Lucy had caught the ‘Repair’ magic book in just three days.
Additionally, Mayo had gathered plenty of materials for crafting bookshelves and enchantment tables during her adventures in a village she discovered.
For the past two days, she had been mining while complaining of boredom and twisting her body like I was.
“I hate mining! I want to go on an adventure.”
“Well, there’s nothing to do wandering around right now. If you try to do something with that gear, you’ll d*e! Let’s at least get a full set of diamond gear.”
“W-well, then just one set for now?”
“Hey! Is your mouth the only one that matters? What about Mayo? What about Miho and Lucy?”
“Ugh! T-then still, mining is just so boring. I want to play League!”
“If you keep that up, the mining enthusiasts will storm the broadcast and roar!”
Though Mayo grumbled a lot, I managed to coax her into mining diamonds together.
As the two of us chatted on Discord while mining, the viewers seemed to appreciate that it made the boredom of mining less dull.
… The enthusiasts just mindlessly loved mining, though.
“Finally, finally!”
With the plentiful diamonds we had mined, I created five pickaxes in addition to my armor.
Holding the lapis lazuli, which was needed for enchanting, I approached the enchantment table I had set up in the basement of the V-Live House.
The dark-looking house now had another layer dug out beneath it, making it resemble a secret society scheming a nefarious plot.
Just then, Miho, who had been organizing items on the first floor, came down and played some background music.
No, with this BGM, I honestly feel like I’m the antagonist or final boss!
As I grumbled, Miho looked at me with satisfaction and said it suited me perfectly.
… Was my image really like that?
I pressed the enchantment table, placing the diamond pickaxe and lapis lazuli in their respective spots.
And I waited.
Please let the best options appear!
Since the options that get enchanted are random among those related to equipment, I could only hope for luck.
“O! Efficiency IV came out.”
Efficiency is related to the mining speed of a pickaxe, and since the final option caps at V, IV is not bad at all.
As I happily pressed the enchantment, unexpected fortune followed.
“Wow! It even got Unbreaking III!”
When luck is good, there are cases where extra options can be added beyond the expected options shown before trying, and just now was such a case.
The final ideal options for a pickaxe would be Efficiency V, Fortune III, Unbreaking III, and Repair, and I was almost there.
If I manage to get one more Efficiency IV from the other pickaxes, I could combine it with the first pickaxe to create Efficiency V.
‘Since I have ample levels, let’s go for it!’
Enchantment requires not only materials but also levels.
In particular, maintaining above level 30 is necessary to choose the highest tier of enchantments.
Therefore, I consistently fished with Lucy through secret chats.
I was hoping to get the Repair magic book, and also, fishing provides decent experience, which led me to this choice.
‘And sometimes, even if it’s not Repair, useful magic books can come out.’
The magic books with decent options were steadily stored in a warehouse on the first floor.
No need to worry about theft, as in Lena World, boxes could be set to ‘lock.’
Once it’s set, no one but the owner can touch the box, and it also cannot be destroyed.
Without such a function, would we need to watch over the boxes around the clock?
Anyway, the diamond pickaxe with the ideal options was successfully completed.
What a moment of joy.
The first diamond pickaxe with ideal options in the Lena World server!
I even used the precious Repair book that Lucy pulled!
If I were to ask the current market value of this equipment, it would easily surpass 3 million Lenas.
And I would never sell it.
With this gear, I could pull ahead of others from the very beginning.
However, one thing I must absolutely be careful about.
I could never let myself d*e from falling into lava while mining diamonds.
Diamond equipment melts the moment it touches lava.
If such a thing happened, I would be ready to smash my beloved keyboard to pieces.
Just how much effort went into this equipment!
Eventually, it would become more available and not so precious, but for now, it was the sole supreme equipment on the server.
[Seoa Broadcast has donated 10 candies.]
– If you drop the Repair pickaxe into lava, that’ll be 2,000 candies, let’s go.
“Are you crazy? You malicious b*stard!”
[Seoa Broadcast has been muted for 10 minutes.]
Malicious individuals lurking for opportunities.
I ignored their reckless comments and began testing the supreme equipment’s performance.
On the way, I ran into other streamers.
“Brother! Wishing you long life!”
“Yeah, yeah. Little siblings, play happily today.”
As soon as they made eye contact with me, Dorai and Koko-nyang ran over and bowed in greeting.
Right, it was two days ago.
They came back to repay the grudge of the bread crumbs I took from them.
It seems they had made some effort in the meantime, as both were holding diamond swords.
The two confidently shouted.
“Raise your hands and give us everything you have!”
“……”
Oh dear.
Why couldn’t they learn from their past actions?
I had no choice but to step up once again to uphold the justice of Lena World.
The equipment I usually didn’t wear to save durability due to the lack of Repair options.
Clang, clang-!
With sound effects reminiscent of a mecha transformation or fusion scene, diamond armor, a helmet, boots, and pants enveloped my character’s entire body.
“Eh? Eh?!”
I shouted at the bewildered two.
“Raise your hands and give us everything you have!”
“……”
Thus, justice was upheld.
A truly heartwarming story overflowing with lessons.
To add to the story, both cried and pleaded, saying that the diamond swords were their entire fortune.
Ahem, but honestly, I don’t care.
However, if I acted too harshly, I might develop an image of tormenting Hako streamers, so I just suitably went through their inventories and took everything except the diamond swords.
“I’m going live right now. Huh? Show your inventory properly. If you’re hiding anything, it’s a headshot for every piece of bread. I won’t take responsibility if you d*e.”
I confiscated their unimportant items because they didn’t suit my taste, taking one Lena coin each, and I swiftly snatched up any remaining diamonds.
Oh, and I also took five pieces of bread each.
Food is always tastiest when it belongs to someone else.
After that, our relationship naturally became a hierarchy.
The two came running up and bowed like gangsters.
Hmm, I found out both of them were older than me, but it can’t be helped.
A story had formed between us already.
With thoughts of potentially reorganizing genealogy if the situation changed, I leisurely headed underground to test the performance of the conclusion pickaxe.
The two probably weren’t feeling too bad.
As a Hako streamer, they received some attention and got a slight boost in popularity from being associated with me on FM Community.
In fact, they might secretly be enjoying it.
Seeing them run up to me and bow like that.
“I-I’m crazy!”
I didn’t even think about the two for a minute.
The moment I swung the pickaxe, I realized.
This is innovation.
When I used a regular diamond pickaxe, I had to hit the rocks 2-3 times to break them, but now they crushed down like soft tofu.
This is the effect of Efficiency V!
The speed of digging was more than doubled.
Is that all?
Shortly after, today’s first diamond block was discovered underground.
I couldn’t hide my excitement, rubbing my palms before mining.
Before my eyes were three diamond blocks.
If it were the usual situation, only three diamonds would have been the total harvest.
– Hey, don’t hesitate; mine quickly, I can’t wait.
– Wow, I’m so nervous, this is Yasujirou.
– But what’s so different about the conclusion pickaxe? Why has it been such a commotion since earlier? I get that it digs fast.
– Efficiency dopamine has exploded!
The mining enthusiasts were even more excited than I was.
These were the first group experiencing Minecraft broadcasts, awakening to new tastes.
They had come up with all sorts of demands to satisfy their fetiš.
Endless 24-hour mining or a diamond 2,000 non-stop stream, and to come back saying they’ve seen the end of the world through mining, among others.
Honestly, isn’t the last one psycho?
Ignoring the malicious comments with all my might, I mined the diamond blocks with a racing heart.
Then came the glorious sound effect as the number of diamonds entered my inventory.
3, 2, 4 = 9.
Incredible! Just how many times is that?
Right now, it may seem like a mere difference of 6, but what if I continued mining for an hour?
Two hours, three hours, all day long?
The gap between us and latecomers would become significant.
And we could work together to create the second and third conclusion pickaxes even faster.
The synergy achieved as a crew, rather than as individuals.
However, I can’t let my guard down just because this has happened.
The server was filled with Hako streamers who had voluntarily chosen to labor around the clock, serving big company streamers.
Especially considering the notorious ‘Begchu’ that would swarm in after this!
There was still a long way to go.
