Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 116

Episode 116: Budget Overrun

Unfortunately, the first round ended with my defeat, 8 to 6.

I gave it my all until the end, but I took too long on the first question about pole dancing.

“I’ve never done something like this before, but I won so easily. Could it be that this is talent?”

“……”

It’s infuriating; I felt a surge of determination that I couldn’t lose like this.

The good news is that I still have a chance to avenge my defeat in the first round.

After all, this content isn’t just a one-round event.

We had just barely gotten 30 minutes into it since the opening, and if this was the end, there would be no reason to even invite guests.

The game was best of three.

“Hmm……”

It was Seolpyo-woo’s turn again.

His frowning face showed that he was deep in thought.

He couldn’t help it; the remaining topics were all challenging.

Movie titles, idiomatic expressions, proverbs, food, professions.

Among them, food and professions seemed the easiest.

If someone has watched a lot of movies, then movie titles aren’t bad either.

Maybe Seolpyo-woo thought the same as me, as he asked Tongdari Chicken whether he knew anything about movies.

“I don’t know much about movies. But I’m confident about animation.”

“……”

In an instant, the 10 Deok’s gaze directed at Tongdari Chicken was filled with disdain.

Ah, of course it was just a joke, so the atmosphere lightened up and they playfully tussled.

It’s quite fascinating to think about.

Virtual culture ultimately stemmed from subculture, yet surprisingly, many virtuals didn’t know much about or weren’t interested in animation.

It seems that unlike when virtual culture first came from Japan, it has gradually localized, wouldn’t you say?

Of course, there are still many virtuals based on subculture, but there are also many streamers choosing virtual as part of a no-cam evolution.

That’s not a bad thing.

It’s normal for any culture to localize when it crosses borders.

We just need to respect and consider each other’s positions.

“Okay! I’ve made my decision. Let’s get started right away!”

What did Seolpyo-woo choose, I wonder?

From the first movement, I had a rough idea.

He pretended to support himself with his left hand on the ground while spinning his right hand to express the shape of something placed on top of it.

It’s not exact, but judging by the shape of his hand, it seemed like he was portraying a dish.

‘Did he pick food after all? That seems the easiest among the remaining options.’

What a pity.

I was also thinking about food.

Having drawn the shape of a plate, Seolpyo-woo then spread two fingers to make a V and mimicked eating something.

“Oh! I got it. Ramen!”

“Uh!”

Watching Seolpyo-woo shaking his head and repeating the same action prompted similar answers from me.

“Noodles, udon, black bean noodles, spicy noodle soup, spaghetti, pasta?”

“Uh!”

At first, I thought a really easy question had come up, so I was worried, but surprisingly, we were failing to get the answers, dragging it into a long battle.

Seolpyo-woo seemed to have no way to further explain, puffing out his cheeks in frustration while repeating the same action.

At this point, it seems the answer has to be a noodle dish, but what hasn’t been mentioned yet?

– Are there other noodle dishes? I can’t think of any now. Should I name them like Shin Ramyeon, Jin Ramyeon, or Anseongtangmyeon?

– Since it’s not spaghetti or pasta, how about Southeast Asian noodle dishes? There are quite a few of those too.

– Oh, this is unexpectedly tough.

Come to think of it, no Southeast Asian dishes had come up yet.

Realizing this a bit late, Tongdari Chicken quickly shouted out a few more dish names.

“Pad See Ew, pho, bun cha!”

“Bun cha, correct! Ah man, if foreign foods come up, the range of correct answers is too wide.”

“Bun cha, bun cha, it’s a fun song. I’ll sing it once too.”

“……”

I couldn’t miss the chance for a mental attack that came my way.

But Seolpyo-woo was also focused on the game and wasn’t easily shaken.

“Chicken!”

“Correct!”

“Pork belly!”

“Correct!”

After that, things flowed relatively smoothly.

Still, I had wasted too much time on the first question, leaving me with a final tally of 7 answers.

Good, this time I definitely had a chance to win.

“Well then, let’s go right in.”

“Let’s see.”

I chose professions.

Tongdari Chicken had already said he didn’t know much about movies, and I could tell that both idiomatic expressions and proverbs would lead us to hell.

“Oh!”

This time, luckily, an easy question came up right from the start.

I confidently acted as if I were sitting in an actual chair and held the steering wheel, pretending to drive.

And I pretended to change gears every once in a while.

“I got it, taxi driver!”

“Uh uh!”

“Okay, then bus driver!”

“Correct!”

“No way. This is a rigged match!”

It took me less than ten seconds to guess the first question.

With that, the outcome of the match was virtually decided.

The second round was very one-sided.

The final score was 11 to 7 in my victory.

“Now, it’s 1:1. Let’s get into the final round.”

“……”

The tension in the exchange of glances between Seolpyo-woo and me became even more intense.

Both of us were filled with a fierce competitive spirit.

“Well then, let’s begin.”

“Uh, this time I’ll yield my turn to you. Go first.”

What? Yielding all of a sudden?

I was a bit puzzled, but I didn’t think changing the order would affect the outcome, so I accepted without hesitation.

However, looking at the remaining topics made me feel slightly disheartened.

What should I choose among movies, idiomatic expressions, and proverbs?

‘I think proverbs might be better. They seem to be used more in daily life compared to idiomatic expressions. It feels more familiar.’

Honestly, it felt like a case-by-case basis.

Hoping for just a bit of luck while praying seemed like the best way to win.

“Don’t worry, Seo-Ah-nim. I graduated from an In-Seoul university. I studied quite a bit.”

“Hahaha, okay. Then I’ll go.”

Thanks to Tongdari Chicken’s encouragement, happily, an easy one came up right from the start.

It was “Fixing the barn after losing the cow!”

As I diligently imitated the cow walking on all fours, I couldn’t help but feel a bit of self-doubt because of the chat room.

– Aww, Seo-Ah walking on all fours is adorable.

– I think I know the answer! The pose of a cat behind!

– What is it with these people calling everything a cat behind since earlier? How much do they like that pose?

– Honestly, I acknowledge that the cat behind is the truth.

Fortunately, Tongdari Chicken quickly guessed the correct answer, so I was saved.

I stumbled a bit on the second proverb, but I managed to get through it, and in the end, I had answered six questions correctly.

Although a bit underwhelming, since the remaining topics for the opponent also had a high difficulty level, I had ample chances.

“Ugh……”

Now it was Seolpyo-woo’s turn.

With a tense 1:1 match, the fans of both crews were intensely immersed.

Who would ultimately claim victory?

‘He’s probably going to choose an idiomatic expression. Tongdari Chicken said he hardly knows anything about movies.’

“Um, I’ll start.”

“Yes!”

I don’t know why my heart is racing over this.

Certainly, no matter how trivial, when it’s labeled as a ‘contest,’ you can’t help but get absorbed into it.

“……”

Huh? What’s going on? Why hasn’t he started?

The time was passing indifferently, yet Seolpyo-woo hadn’t made any move.

With a somewhat dazed expression staring into space, could it be that he had issues connecting to VRC and got disconnected?

“Seolpyo-woo? Is there a problem?”

“Uh? No, it’s just……”

Fortunately, it didn’t seem to be a connection issue.

Seolpyo-woo appeared flustered by Tongdari Chicken’s question but shook his head, indicating that there was no problem.

But why was Seolpyo-woo just sitting quietly without explaining the problem?

I was momentarily puzzled, but as soon as I saw Seolpyo-woo hesitating and unable to speak up, I realized.

Could he possibly be…?

As the streaming culture became popular, numerous streamers emerged.

They each had various characteristics, but among them, there was a very well-established and prosperous lineage.

Known colloquially as the persimmon tree family in the primate order.

Huh? What does persimmon tree mean, you ask?

It’s nothing complicated.

It refers to the friends who fell after climbing up a persimmon tree during childhood.

Those unfortunate enough to fall from the persimmon tree and hit their heads a bit……

When referring to streamers lacking general knowledge or being somewhat dimwitted, they are called part of the persimmon tree family.

Sister trees include the zelkova, oak, and beech.

“Ugh…… I lost.”

“I won! It’s my victory!”

Seolpyo-woo, who ultimately couldn’t escape the essence of the persimmon tree from that first idiom, found himself trapped.

I cheered with joy at having claimed victory.

But suddenly, Tongdari Chicken approached me with a serious expression and said.

“There’s a misunderstanding happening right now; this isn’t Seo-Ah-nim’s victory.”

“……?”

What? Out of nowhere?

Seolpyo-woo surrendered, so of course it would be my victory.

“It’s my victory. A total of 38 correct answers. So if you calculate that, it’s 760,000 won! Who can see that I’m not the winner?”

“Wait? 760,000 won?”

I knelt down as I was struck by the harsh facts that suddenly hit me.

It was time to pay for being too enthusiastic due to a sudden surge of competitiveness.

Today’s content was a budget overrun.
