Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 135

Episode 135: Sparks Fly

Today, the time for Purge Day is a total of one hour.

Mist did not easily back down.

As soon as he respawned from the bed, he hurriedly rushed back to initiate a fight.

Did he have backup equipment?

Of course, he’s expected to lose more severely than before and respawn back in bed.

The equipment disparity was evident from the start, and backup equipment wouldn’t change the conversation.

“Ryu-yo, get ready to take me on!”

“This isn’t Overwatch!”

Regardless of what others said, I excitedly shot arrows.

Now, Mist’s image was pitifully running away without even diamond equipment.

You could see in real-time that his viewers were decreasing on his stream.

No one would have expected that former pro gamer Mist would end up in such a miserable state.

In contrast, my stream was gradually gaining more viewers.

The so-called strong team fans were gathering.

– Wow;; I didn’t know Seo-A’s set was the ultimate? Show us some options!

– Equipment power is important, but Seo-A’s control is good too, just look at the speed of switching between bow and sword!

– Mist is being bulldozed by Daeseoa’s class ㄷㄷ;;

As I took away his backup equipment, Mist was left outside the plaza with a vacant expression.

Surely, when he heard the explanation about today’s Purge Day, he couldn’t have imagined this future.

He probably only came with the expectation of shining as the protagonist.

“If I hadn’t been here, that future would definitely have been more likely.”

Though Oha had equipment issues, he was still lacking in Minecraft proficiency, and Endyu couldn’t actively move due to being caught up in Hakkoh sickness.

So if I hadn’t been the ‘variable,’ it would have been a certainty for Mist to shine.

“Come on, give me back my equipment.”

“Where do you want to lane in League?”

“Me? I’m jungling.”

“Mayonnaise really hates junglers!”

“Eek!”

Mayonnaise was also dominating the other members of the Bully Gamja Company.

In the first place, great equipment was loaded onto Mist, making the other members’ conditions even worse.

Like me, he had a complete set, decent physical skills, and it was natural that there would be no opponents for the Minecraft expert Mayonnaise.

Mr. Lena [We will now announce the rankings. 1st place is Mayonnaise with 4 kills, 2nd place is Seo-A with 3 kills, and 3rd place is Apple Mong with 2 kills. Let’s all do our best!]

Ego, I was just playing around with Mist.

After all, all of us had the same value of 1 k*ll.

There’s no need to aim for a difficult opponent.

If I let Mayonnaise take 1st place like this, I would have to face the consequence of seeing him with a swollen ego, so I decided to enter serious k*ll hunting mode.

“Oha, this isn’t personal. You know that, right?”

“Seo-A, this is really not okay. How could a student hit a teacher!”

“Unquestionable answer!”

First, I eliminated my competitor Oha and then began hunting down the smaller fries.

Apple Mong and several others attempted to retaliate with a united charge, but unfortunately for them, we had ‘wings.’

When the situation turned unfavorable, I quickly changed my equipment and flew up onto the building.

“Hey, that’s cowardly! This is not right.”

“I’ll just regain some health and come back down. Just wait.”

No, thinking about it, there was no need to come down.

Immediately, I switched to my bow and unleashed attacks unilaterally alongside Mayonnaise.

The other streamers, who hadn’t even finished reinforcing their diamond swords, were caught off guard by our assault, which was like a disaster.

“If you keep avoiding coming down, I will attack the V-Live building!”

Apple Mong’s warning announced that we couldn’t only endure the onslaught.

In an instant, we felt like public enemies.

Before long, Oha, who had respawned and joined, and his colleagues were present too.

Bully Gamja Company seemed to be having an internal conflict while bickering in the outskirts of the plaza.

“Okay! I’m coming down now.”

I was just enjoying how they looked anxious, stomping their feet, staring at the building; it’s not like I was afraid of close combat.

Together with Mayonnaise, we came back down to the ground in sync with the signal.

“…….”

The other streamers, who were surrounding us, looked even more tense than before.

I swung my diamond sword a few times as if holding a protest in mid-air and shouted.

“Who among you dares to challenge me with a sword?”

“…….”

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent.

Ah, was that too much of a martial arts style?

“k*ll them!”

“Uwaaaaah!”

The real brawl began.

***

Mr. Lena [Now, we will hold the award ceremony. Please step forward when I call your name. First up, 3rd place Oha!]

“Wow! I did it!”

Oha, who narrowly outpaced Mist to take 3rd place, jumped joyfully towards the makeshift podium.

Mr. Lena [The 3rd place reward is 300,000 Lena. And until the next Purge Day, a title will be given to your nickname when you chat. Could you try typing something just for testing?]

‘15 people banned’ Oha [Oh! What’s this? That’s cool!]

Oha, thoroughly pleased, declared that he would upgrade his equipment and aim for 1st place next Purge Day.

Hmm, will it actually turn out that way?

Mr. Lena [2nd place goes to the youngest resident on our server, 18 years old, Mayonnaise! He proudly took 2nd place and will receive 500,000 Lena as a reward.]

‘Threat to the throne’ Mayonnaise [I could have gotten 1st, but I chose to let it go. It’s true!]

As Mayonnaise grumbled while receiving the prize, thunderous applause erupted.

And the surrounding streamers were unexpectedly shocked.

At 18 years old, one could call it cheating.

Even at 20, it’s still surprising to see someone young in the streaming community.

Mr. Lena [And now comes the highly anticipated 1st place? Drumroll! You all may already know who it is, but you must be astonished. In fact, I was surprised too, because this person wasn’t even a favorite to win, yet they managed to triumph with overwhelming skill. Now! Give a round of applause to congratulate. The leader of V-Live, Seo-A-nim, has won the 1st Lena World Purge Day!]

Applause erupted everywhere.

I confidently made my way forward, cutting through the clapping noise.

On my way, I saw Mist’s character glancing over casually.

Was his mental state not managing well? The clapping sounded faint.

Hmm, I wonder if he’s managing his expressions well.

If FM Community popular posts started featuring this, it would be quite humiliating.

Mr. Lena [Seo-A-nim will receive a whopping 1,000,000 Lena. By the way, when did you acquire such specs? And what’s the secret to being 1st? I knew you were working hard even by using secretive means.]

‘The world’s best’ Seo-A [Eh, I just… studied hard mainly with the core subjects. Moreover, the glory of being number one today goes to Mist for giving me those initial consecutive kills. Thank you.]

That struck a subtle blow to Mist’s mental state.

I felt a fierce gaze from Mist’s character directed at me.

Even as a former pro gamer, his competitive spirit must be that intense?

‘It was intentional, but it seems rather amusing how easily he takes the bait.’

In reality, this was part of a strategy to craft a story.

Though I faced overwhelming humiliation today, I still had an excuse due to the difference in ‘equipment’ specs.

Therefore, though Mist’s influence may have slightly declined, he will still remain a mainstay in Lena World.

‘As long as the rivalry structure is established, I’ve got the upper hand. The weight class difference is severalfold.’

Until the big company streamer entered, Mist had plenty of utility.

Even if problems arise later, there’s no need to maintain a close relationship, but this distance is about right, wouldn’t you say?

“Wow! Daeseoa, Daeseoa!”

As I descended the stage of the award ceremony, Oha suddenly approached, making a ruckus.

What’s going on all of a sudden?

As I openly stared, he seemed hesitant before finally revealing his business.

“No, I mean… Seo-A, can you return some items?”

He seemed restless for a while.

Moreover, it appeared that other streamers around him had the same agenda.

But I couldn’t just give them back for free.

“1,000 Lena for each diamond equipment! It’s very cheap, cheap.”

If you factor in options, the market value is much higher, but if I were to delve into such details, it would cast the name of plunderer upon me.

It would feel like I’d be labeled as Lena World’s official villain number one.

Moreover, taking precious gear from streamers and their fans would create animosity.

In that sense, pricing at a mere 1,000 Lena, which doesn’t even cover costs, was a perfect move to navigate the current situation cheerfully.

‘Even if there are rules allowing plundering, how far should I take it? This amount won’t be too burdensome.’

Even those who had none were given their equipment back on credit.

But for some reason, Mist and the members of Bully Gamja never approached to retrieve their gear.

What is this? Could it be?

As everyone departed, Mist, who remained until the end, approached and said.

“I won’t take back the equipment. I’ll repay you the same way next week. Let’s have a proper challenge.”

“…….”

I felt that provoking him further might bring out his ‘true feelings,’ so instead of taunting him, I quietly nodded.

Was he deciding to give up since he wouldn’t have a valid reason to not return it if he received it back by paying?

It seems he’s confident he’ll win the next match.

“Yes, I’ll see you next week then.”

“Surely, you won’t run away?”

“Me?”

“By any chance, will you not log in at the next Purge Day?”

“…….”

Haha, it seems I got a bit scratched myself.

What on earth is this person talking about?

Didn’t he learn anything from losing today?

If he hasn’t felt how terrifying overconfidence is, he’ll have to be educated again…

I subtly drew out Mist’s diamond sword and swung it in the air while saying,

“Don’t worry, I’ll use this well. It’s just that the owner chose the wrong person; the equipment isn’t to blame.”

“…….”

A fierce spark flew among the gazes watching us.
