Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 131
Chapter 131: Bluebee is Now
The words I uttered were quite ambiguous.
Literally, I have no spare resources to give.
And the hidden meaning is, why? (I really don’t know)
A chilly silence flows, and everyone glances at Mist.
A partner streamer entering Lena World for the first time.
Moreover, the average viewer count is quite substantial.
Receiving a warm welcome as soon as they arrive, the virtual streamers rush over and even take care of the equipment, so how much have their egos inflated?
Of course, I had no intention of catering to Mist’s whims.
“Ah, speaking of which, I haven’t even introduced myself. Hello, I’m Mist.”
“Yes, yes, you just joined today, right? Nice to meet you. I’m Seoa, the leader of the V-Live Crew.”
A slight power play.
The next question is who will initiate the following conversation to take the lead.
But I have no interest.
After all, this person won’t have anything to do with me.
“We’re busy, so we’ll be taking off now. Kids, let’s go.”
Immediately spreading my wings, I use fireworks to soar into the sky.
Is this the situation of a dog looking up at the rooftop while chasing a chicken?
Leaving behind Mist and their followers, now small like dots, I head toward a new diamond mining area with Mayo and Han A-yeon, who fly up behind me.
– Wow! A woman leaving Mist behind to mine ㄷㄷ;;
– Mist is really handsome; if I saw him in a broadcast, I’d probably turn around and chat right away ㅋㅋ
– But why is Seoa so haughty? Could it be a high-level strategy to attract a man’s interest by acting cold?
Handsome or not, I’m a guy, so who cares.
I never intended to build a friendship with Mist, and talking to him would just be a waste of time.
It would be wiser to move quickly and mine at least one more diamond in that time.
The fact that new residents, including Mist, have entered signifies the official start of the competition.
‘Soon the first company in Lena World will be formed, and everyone will start watching their backs. After all, that’s the position of a Hako streamer.’
The drops falling to those tangled with Mist.
Once they confirm this, other Hako streamers begin to get anxious.
Dorai and Koko-nyang, who were just like me until yesterday, find their viewer numbers have doubled overnight, and Candy sponsorship has increased as well.
Consider it from a different perspective.
If you butter up the higher-ups and act friendly, you’re suddenly promoted ahead of your peers and land a good position.
How can a small citizen endure this?
Pride and ego are things for those who can afford them.
In that sense, I do not criticize or dismiss the actions of these Hako streamers at all.
If I were in a desperate position like that, I would probably choose the same path.
‘So, I must work harder. I can’t afford to miss the opportunity I currently have.’
It’s really only a matter of time now.
Today, I quietly mine.
***
Entering Lena World for the first time.
Mist’s broadcasts were bound to be popular.
Why is that?
Because they pure-heartedly enjoy pleasure without responsibility.
This metaphor truly fits like a glove.
The process of acquiring equipment, which is undoubtedly bothersome at first.
It was resolved by receiving equipment gifts from other streamers.
Naturally, even the repetitive tasks that could feel boring have been passed over.
Money? Items? Without even asking, they provide tributes on their own.
All Mist has to do is run around excitedly and establish a broadcast atmosphere while having some Tikitaka with other streamers.
In other words, it’s a radio-style broadcast that viewers at Pangea TV would love the most.
Moreover, it fully satisfies the viewers’ ‘need for acknowledgment’.
Take a look around the streaming community.
How many people in the large company fandom are engaged in ‘self-investment’?
It’s as if when a streamer gets insulted, the fans go wild as if they themselves are being insulted.
Conversely, when a streamer is treated well, the fans puff up their chests as if they are in that situation themselves.
In Lena World, Mist undoubtedly stood in a ‘powerful’ position.
He was a partner streamer, and his average viewers were over twenty times those of the nearby Hako streamers, with plenty of money earned from his professional gamer life.
Moreover, above all, he is good-looking.
Just look at the Hako streamers surrounding Mist singing his praises.
What a spectacle for fans who have entrusted their egos to a streamer!
Thinking that this will repeat every time a big company streamer enters the server feels a bit amusing to me, knowing the future.
‘Right now, he may feel like a big shot, but once the real big company streamers step in, it’ll take no time for him to become just a pyramid.’
The virtual streamers affiliated with Bully Gamja Company must have regretted it a lot.
If they had only waited a little longer, they could have had a chance to join a company created by a big company streamer, but in the end, they were distracted by the drops in front of them and rushed in faster than anyone else, resulting in the worst company.
‘By the way, how is Bluebee doing?’
Today, I wrapped up my stream about three hours early for a change and worked on video editing for a V-Live carol song in VRC.
After pushing through for two weeks without a break, isn’t it okay to take it easy for a day?
Having completed all my work, I found myself with about an hour of extra time and, out of idle curiosity, I checked on Bluebee’s situation.
When checking such data, the Candy calculator website is practically万能.
“Wow, impressive.”
Today marks the third day on Poco Server.
It was nearing the turning point for the server.
However, in the last three days, Bluebee’s average viewer count was 27.
Checking to see that the data from the previous week had been 52, it was clear that the data which had been gradually ascending since the debut broadcast had completely collapsed.
‘This is more significant than I thought.’
Fundamentally, the Buttpicking viewers were those who expected a healing feeling.
Disappointed by the occasionally malicious actions of human streamers, the majority were those who stepped into this realm while enjoying subculture culture.
But what kind of place is a war server?
War is essentially an act of conflict between basic human emotions.
A streamer who normally speaks softly may raise their voice and get irritated due to prolonged broadcast hours and stress.
Moreover, the ‘communication’ that viewers value most with their favorite streamers becomes difficult.
In a war server, how much can you do?
Even when you take a short break, you must focus your mind on the incessant discussions of your teammates.
Can you continuously pay attention to the chat in that situation?
To manage this while greatly extending broadcast hours and being worn out, one would need experience at the level of a big company streamer.
Naturally, it leads to neglect of the viewers.
In fact, not just Bluebee, all streamers participating in Poco Server had their average viewer counts decrease, as could be confirmed by the data.
Even the Decrescendo crew members fell into this.
‘Originally, such deep servers target niche audiences rather than mass appeal. The problem is that mishandling has disappointed even that niche audience.’
While I already knew this from the information obtained before the regression, the situation on Poco Server was worse than I had thought.
Participants frequently displayed unhappiness, and the administrators, rather than addressing the controversies, rather ignited disputes with each other.
They even went so far as to post notices targeting participants, making it the worst behavior an administrator could commit.
‘Of course, the other side also bears some fault…’
The protagonist in the quarrel was none other than Tunyang, who was also targeting Orikung.
I thought they were only causing trouble in Lena World, but why are they here?
Upon reflection, I believe I’ve seen posts in the community about Tunyang causing trouble even afterward.
Hmm, I should be careful not to get involved unnecessarily.
The next thing to check after viewer numbers is Candy sponsorship.
Honestly, from a streamer’s perspective, if the viewer data shows a lower count but there’s adequate Candy sponsorship, I can accept that.
After all, the viewer numbers lost due to unwanted content will recover to some extent later.
But what if even the Candy sponsorship is low?
“Hmm, that’s unfortunate.”
Though I said it’s unfortunate, a smile I couldn’t hide lingered on my lips.
The data showed that since the first day of entering Poco Server, Bluebee’s Candy sponsorship has been slowly decreasing.
I wouldn’t say it had completely dried up, but this alone was quite encouraging.
‘But surprisingly, they received quite a bit? It’s only been three weeks.’
Just as I was pleasantly closing the Candy calculator site, I frowned slightly at the overall data.
Having yet to reach three full weeks since debut, they have already received a decent amount of Candy sponsorship.
70,000 candies.
Considering that I have received about 170,000 candies so far this month, that was a significant achievement.
‘If I hadn’t kept an eye on the Poco Server, it could have been a big problem.’
I had been slightly overlooking them, thinking they just debuted, but their growth was astonishing.
Should I say it’s a character that would be among the top five excluding big company virtual streamers before the regression?
I accessed Bluebee’s broadcast incognito.
While chatting with team members on Discord, the exhaustion in the voices of the others was evident.
Their tension had dropped significantly.
It’s no wonder that floating viewers would leave, and even true fans would gradually pull back…
However, despite this situation, Bluebee’s avatar maintained a straight posture.
Moreover, the tension was somewhat alive.
Claiming to have only slept about four to five hours, at day three, isn’t that monstrous?
As I watched the broadcast, despite having a leader, they had somehow started to perform a representative role in the group.
‘Indeed, a remarkable character is remarkable.’
In four days, the Poco Server will end and Bluebee will return to Lena World.
Will they be able to smoothly rebound from the currently bent data?
I continued to watch Bluebee’s broadcast blankly for a while.
