Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 140

Episode 140 Vtopia Final Audition

“To be honest, I only know about Virtual from Prika. It’s because Prika is where my friend is a representative. I’ve heard they aim to be real virtual idols, but what direction will Vtopia take?”

“We don’t have any of that. We’re just a survival-type crew. Let’s come together as individuals who have good chemistry and can create a synergy effect and do some broadcasts ‘Woo-ssha Woo-ssha!’ That’s the goal of Vtopia.”

“Wow. That sounds good. To be honest, I think that could work better in Pangea TV. Idol on Pangea TV? Hmm, isn’t that a bit difficult? Ah! Please don’t say that to Sayoh, everyone.”

-Bongsik said: Prika will struggle on Pangea TV, confirmed to fail.

-Sayoh is expected to be very angry when she hears this lol

-“But if we create a virtual crew, what will we do? Isn’t it a bit ambiguous since there isn’t a competition like in Star University?”

“Oh! The last chat is good. I honestly have that question too. What do we do when we create a virtual crew?”

“Hmm… There are endless possibilities. For example, we could have singing competitions with other virtual crews, or we could put a prize money on the line as support for my partner streamer and hold a League of Legends event with five streamers, and Vtopia can do League CK too.”

“Wow! Unnie has everything planned out.”

“I’m just going to challenge various things diligently.”

“Good, good. So today’s final audition… How many will be selected from a total of 140 applicants?”

Finally, the ice-breaking time ends, and the main theme begins.

The total number of participants in this final round is 15. Out of them, 7 will be selected.

“Don’t think too hard. Just think of it as watching YouTube videos comfortably.”

“Oh, is this the videos? There are a total of 15.”

“Of course, there are 15 videos since there are 15 participants in the final round.”

“……”

-Lol, what’s with Bongsik’s awkward expression?

-O! Unlike the Ugaidol Audition, it seems the final round here is not a live stage.

-But isn’t judging through videos a bit ambiguous? On what basis do we select?

“Okay, let’s get started. Bongsik, choose one here. Which video do you want to see first?”

“Hmm… Oh, that’s Da-yo. Isn’t that person a disciple of Okkudak? I saw them doing content together last time.”

“Oh! You really studied. I know that too. Okkudak took them as a disciple. Then let’s get started, viewers.”

The first order was a video from the 19-year-old minor virtual Da-yo.

As soon as the video started, an avatar with long white hair and red-blue odd eyes appeared.

The chat room instantly was filled with ‘Gyeon’ and ‘Dyeo’.

Oh? But the quality of the video is quite good.

Starting with a neat self-introduction, Da-yo showcases their main game content, ‘LoL’, and appeals to their charm with a short song while subtly including a half-camera video to appeal to the viewers.

This was a very wise strategy.

By hinting that even a half-camera would be possible, they could avoid the discrimination against no-camera streamers that are prevalent on Pangea TV.

Thanks to that, the reactions in the chat room improved steadily, and the video ended neatly at 3 minutes with Mr. Bongsik leading the applause.

“Wow, this video was well made, cleanly. It didn’t drag on too long and summarized only the core idea of what ‘Da-yo’ as a virtual being feels like.”

“Isn’t it good? I intentionally prepared it with that kind of feeling. There are viewers who have a rejection toward the virtual. You have to start gently at first. Gradually, you increase the intensity to get them addicted.”

“Okay! I get what you mean. Checked the first participant. The next order is… Kim Rhea’s name stands out in my eyes.”

“Right. Let’s play the video right away.”

The videos move in order.

Starting with Kim Rhea, who is a YouTuber with 120,000 subscribers, then Hyeon-dana, Dantz, Kim Deok-ryong, Hanalin-gu, Kim Blub, etc.

Many received compliments, but among them, Mr. Bongsik particularly pointed out Dantz.

“Wow, this is a short but really impactful video. Because it showed everything just in the video. That they have a long broadcasting experience, work hard, and are good at broadcasting.”

“Right? I don’t have anything more to add about this friend. They just do well.”

Viewers also commented that it was the cleanest and most straightforward video they’ve seen so far.

“It’s already the last order. You scored accurately, right?”

“Wow! Already? I watched it so intensely. This is too fun. Should I also receive applicants with videos like this next time I do content?”

“Would you? This is definitely fun.”

While the two were laughing, the video of the last participant was prepared.

Yuseona, who was hesitating for a moment, opened up about the issues faced by this participant.

“This friend’s name is Choi Hongda, and there’s something peculiar.”

“What is it?”

“Um… should I call it a downside? Actually, this friend is live-streaming simultaneously on LebitTV.”

“Oh, really? But I don’t consider that a downside. After trying it, they can decide the platform they feel has a stronger advantage. LebitTV is a good platform too.”

“I’m glad you think that way. Also, this friend has the most solid fan base among today’s participants. So that might be why they haven’t decided to transfer yet. And they sing well. Really well.”

“Huh? Is it to that extent? Is Unnie praising them that much?”

“You’ll know once you listen.”

With a confident gesture, Yuseona nodded and played the video.

Having primarily been active on LebitTV, unlike the previously shown videos, a 2D avatar stood out.

A cat humanoid character with a large bandage stuck on one cheek.

In a situation where the audience feels averse to 3D avatars that are relatively similar to humans, the appearance of the 2D avatar flooded the chat room with comments like ‘This is a bit…’.

However, the moment Choi Hongda’s singing began, the atmosphere dramatically changed.

-Wow;; What is this person’s voice? I thought all virtuals had to make cute voices.

-This is a totally different level from the ones that came out till now, right? What a vocal skill, haha, they’re totally a rock singer.

-O! Bongsik, buy this person!

This video had the most enthusiastic chat room responses so far.

I smiled wryly at that sight.

‘As I regressed, I could see the landmines everywhere.’

Choi Hongda, who had gained considerable fame as a song pick in the early days of Pangea TV’s virtual panel.

Having passed the first term of Vtopia and being active, they would soon vanish from the virtual panel due to an enormous controversy and incident.

It was indeed a bolt from the blue!

We had to be prepared for when and where a bomb might explode.

‘Surely our crew members wouldn’t do that, right?’

Could someone among the crew members commit an act that they cannot handle?

Just imagining it sent shivers down my spine.

“Surely there was a reason for Unnie to emphasize that at the beginning. They sing well.”

“Right? They sing very refreshingly well. I thought they were a rocker at first.”

Thus, with Choi Hongda’s turn concluding, all videos were checked.

Mr. Bongsik, finishing up the scoring with a serious expression while playing with a pen.

Then Yuseona, who received the scoring sheet, checked it and widened her eyes.

“So, you thought the same? After all, people’s eyes are similar. But there are surprisingly many tie scores.”

“Yeah. This person is a bit ambiguous, but I thought if they get the right opportunity, they could grow significantly. So I gave them this score.”

“That’s right. I felt a bit regretful about that part too. They have talent, but it still feels like they haven’t burst forth? And I can definitely agree with the top 1, 2, and 3 places.”

Who will be selected?

With my memories of Vtopia before regressing being vague, I could only think of about three members distinctly.

“Ah! Right, before we start, you said you’d give me a super pass. Can I use that now?”

“Oh! Is there someone you want to use it on? Of course, you can use it. Choose one. Drumroll! What is the choice of the King of Pangea TV!?”

“Good, good. Then I will choose Dantz with my super pass.”

-Wow! That person is streaming now, go Lee Naksu!

-Dantz? Hey, bro, you’ve just turned into a broadcasting life now.

-A virtual chosen by the king ㄷㄷ;;

“But that friend would pass anyway without the super pass.”

“Hey! That just means they were that good.”

With a playful tone, Mr. Bongsik jokingly becomes a character while Yuseona promptly selects Dantz as the first successful applicant.

Afterward, Mr. Bongsik, needing to leave due to a busy schedule, exits while Yuseona concludes the broadcast, announcing the end of the audition.

“I will announce the remaining successful applicants through a notice post. Thank you for joining today’s broadcast!”

Phew! It was a dopamine rush I hadn’t felt in a long time.

Indeed, the auditions are the most thrilling.

And so, an hour after the broadcast ended.

Yuseona’s announcement was posted.

Led by the confirmed Dantz, the members included Choi Eun-bin, Ppokgeum, Choi Hongda, Sae Dalkom, Hyeon-dana, and Han-Se-bin, totaling 7 members.

Although it felt a bit late, this was the emergence of the last crew that would shine the early days’ name of Pangea TV’s virtual panel.
