Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 118
Episode 118: Happy Friday
In the early days of Lena World, the most valuable item was the ‘Repair’ magic book.
The probability of obtaining it through fishing was truly dismal (Lucy only managed to acquire one after a week of fishing), while the alternative method—gambling at the secret shop—had a specified success rate of only 2.5%.
You needed to try your luck 40 times at 50,000 won each for a chance of success… which is why it had an initial market value of 2 million won.
(50,000 x 40 = 2,000,000)
Despite being so rare and expensive, the demand for the Repair magic book was always soaring.
From the most essential pickaxe to weapons, various armors, and wings, repairs were necessary everywhere.
As a result, even when big company streamers entered the server, there was hardly a single streamer who had completed what was called the full equipment repair.
Isn’t that funny?
It’s not like it’s something with cash value like Lineage, yet even big company streamers would be taken aback and express their gratitude when they received Repair magic books.
The viewers of big company streamers also flocked to the Hako streamer who gifted the Repair magic book, showering them with praise and support.
How was that possible?
Minecraft was a game optimized for the purple (visible radio) format broadcasts, which Pangea TV viewers loved the most.
There was no need to devise strategies in real-time or focus on defeating someone or achieving specific goals.
You simply had to enter the server, engage in quick banter with other streamers, and weave a story together.
Thus, the viewers of big company streamers were quickly drawn in.
This is healing, and this is what purple broadcasts are about.
Because of the freshness of Minecraft being new and the blend of purple culture, Lena World was able to achieve immense success on Pangea TV.
But how long would the Repair magic book continue to reign?
The answer was simple.
Until the adventure in the ‘Ender World’ kicked into high gear.
In the Ender World, aside from ‘wings’, you could obtain various items such as Shulker shells, ender pearls, and brewers, among which were equipment with magical ‘options’.
For example, diamond pants with ‘Protection’ and ‘Repair’ options.
Yes, in the Ender World, it was indeed possible to farm equipment that already had ‘Repair’ on it.
Of course, the probability was low.
Even a skilled player could spend all day farming and most of what they found would either have useless options or be iron equipment instead of diamond.
Still, if you worked hard, you could scavenge around 3-4 pieces a day.
If you were really lucky, maybe even 5-6 pieces?
Once this fact became known, everyone dashed to the Ender World to start farming.
As dozens of players did this, repair equipment began flooding the market, and naturally, the price of the Repair magic book started to decline.
180, 150, 120… even lower.
The great upheaval of the future would come eventually!
So, I decided to prepare for the future with Mayo.
“But why is this a secret? And why do it in a secretive way?”
“Shh! Be quiet.”
We started streaming and diligently mined diamonds for disguise.
And we traversed the Ender World with secretiveness.
To prevent anyone from getting hints by watching our stream.
Moreover, we needed to monopolize the Ender World farming.
Items here, including wings, do not regenerate like diamonds do.
It was the same strategy I used at first.
Just as I mined all the diamonds near the portal, forcing people to go farther to mine for them.
If we monopolize all the items around the entrance to the Ender World, latecomers would have to put in several times the effort just to catch up a little.
“Moreover, the difficulty is completely different from mining diamonds. This is the Ender World.”
Unlike diamonds, which are easy to get by just spending time, the Ender World had its own tension and difficulty.
First of all, there was a self-imposed penalty in Lena World.
You couldn’t use wings in the Ender World.
The reason was that using wings made farming too easy.
So, players had to painstakingly place blocks and pave the way on foot between distant terrains, and with just one click mistake, they’d fall and disappear into cosmic dust.
All items would also perish.
Another method of moving was the ender pearl, which teleports you to the spot where it lands, but many streamers likely became cosmic dust after messing up with it.
Such was the challenge posed by the Ender World.
“Before the rollback, I had to move for nearly 2-3 hours since everything was already harvested. That much moving was required to find a place that hadn’t been farmed.”
2-3 hours could result in turning into cosmic dust multiple times even while moving.
A challenge that most ordinary players couldn’t dare to attempt.
That’s why everyone proposed to Lena Land and even reset the Ender World.
All due to the difficulty of farming being too high.
Yet here we were, moving so comfortably.
Even just 5 or 10 minutes of moving yielded untapped treasures all around.
“Wow! I’ve already found two today.”
“Shh! This is a real secret. Don’t mention anything about it on the stream.”
I had locked the chest where the repair equipment was kept so that only I could access it.
At the right moment, I would unlock it for use.
This was my secret weapon for the V-Live crew that I was preparing.

Friday, December 9.
Out of nowhere, a nuclear bomb fell on the quiet virtual panel.
They had even held a grand announcement event, but the Poco server, filled with Hako streamers, was already hearing whispers that it would fail.
Yet, astonishingly, ‘Elsa’ from Decrescendo stepped forward to declare participation in the server.
From the perspective of the Decrescendo fans, it felt like being doused with cold water out of nowhere while the PocoTens felt like they had caught a sturdy lifeline from the sky.
Thus, the gallery was filled with posts praising ‘Elsa’ for the first time in a while.
Even prior to this, Elsa had been a favorite of the gloomy members of the gallery since the Ugaidol audition days, but with the addition of the PocoTens fandom, it felt like a grand spectacle.
– Why, Elsa, why…
If you want to play Mark, why not just stick to Lena’s server instead of the Poco server?
“No, no! We are on the same boat now, so let’s keep such comments to ourselves.”
“All PocoTens fans declare support for Ms. Elsa.”
“Long live the independence of Elsa!”
– Finally, the Great Huang-Kung has succeeded.
I thought Orikung wouldn’t stay put like this.
He must have secretly contacted and persuaded Elsa from behind.
“Really, Orikung is indeed an expert at such backroom dealings.”
“But did Elsa consult with the crew members? Everyone reacted really strongly upon hearing the news.”
“Lol, Elsa is notoriously clueless, plus her nickname is ‘Elf Horn’ because of her stubbornness.”
– From today, Decrescendo and PocoTens declare themselves allies.
Our primary enemy is Prika and V-Live, how about it?
Let’s move forward with the Great World Fragmentation!
“Look at these sly PocoTens fans, they resemble Jerry with their long tongues, jeez.”
“Hello, Bra Fan.”
“Memo on Sports Dog.”
Up until the announcement of Elsa’s joining, the Decrescendo fans had been enjoying the show of the PocoTens’ house burning while munching on popcorn.
Oh? But suddenly the sparks flew over and caught our house?
Elsa’s trolling didn’t stop there.
Feeling lonely going solo in the war server, she suddenly clung to Baio’s leg and begged her.
Since Elsa and Baio were in the same group during the second Ugaidol audition, they were slightly closer compared to other members.
“No, that sounds bothersome. War servers are a bit much, aren’t they?”
“Then are you going to send me alone to such a battlefield? Huh? Let’s do it together.”
Ultimately, Baio couldn’t resist Elsa’s strong persuasion and reluctantly decided to join.
Then, the atmosphere among the Decrescendo fans shifted.
The Poco server was no longer a feast just for PocoTens.
With two members of Decrescendo on board, there had to be at least some face-saving.
After their joining was confirmed, the Poco server-related posts going viral in the FM Community doubled almost overnight.
The heartfelt activities of the Decrescendo fandom began.
“This is what trolling really is. Just thinking that one of our crew members did this is truly horrifying.”
Whether there were hidden backstories or unusual plans, the outcome before the rollback was determined to be trolling, so there was no way to think otherwise…
I mourned for the Decrescendo fans who would spend a week sharing their suffering with the PocoTens.
And I slyly took out my popcorn.
The crunching was delightful and sweet.
Ah! The fire that started in PocoTens has now spread to Decrescendo.
This is truly the pleasure of watching a fire across the river.
The pain of a rival crew is merely joy for me, the leader of V-Live.
Moreover, Elsa’s joining unexpectedly triggered a ripple effect.
“Finally caught in the net!”
In the comment section for the Poco server applications in Orikung’s announcements.
Bluebee, who had resolved his worries thanks to the joining of Elsa and Baio, had posted his application comment.
It was a delightful Friday.
