Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 146

Episode 146: Perfect Design

The entrance of the first big company streamer in Lena World.

The one who was most excitable here was none other than the server master, Mr. Lena’s Land.

He even asked Apple Mong in advance to ensure that there would be no discomfort in Kim Hak-do’s connection process.

Was that all?

He took into account the situation when Mist, Mr. Haisuya, Dananyang, Tteu3, AE Gyo Zero, and others entered the server.

The scene of Hako virtual streamers gathering around the fountain in Beginning Village, waiting.

This time, such behavior was completely prohibited.

He said it might unnecessarily burden the new residents.

Although Mr. Lena’s Land was being overly meddlesome, viewers actually preferred natural meetings over such artificial setups.

It’s no wonder that the “casual meet-cute” trend is popular.

For that reason, Kim Hak-do was able to leisurely appreciate Beginning Village before moving to the Pokémon Center.

And I was subtly spying on his stream with my phone.

Although the Minecraft aspect was lower compared to other big company streamers, it was still his first visit, so I had to pay attention.

Repeatedly saying that acting haughtily and holding onto pride in front of big company streamers might seem cool and temporarily elevate the dignity of d*e-hard fans.

However, such luxury isn’t for everyone.

Just look at the mid-tier streamers who typically have an average of two to three thousand viewers flipping their boats and professing to be the loyal subjects of big company streamers.

Do you think they lack pride to behave like that?

Those mid-tier streamers reveal their fierce nature among Hako streamers.

They’re all adults, timing themselves to bend for survival in the fierce wild streaming community.

“Whether people like it or not, to take away the viewers of human streamers, contacting big company streamers is the fastest route. It seems there are many light fans.”

To catch a tiger, one must enter the tiger’s den.

Similarly, to increase one’s weight class, one had to face the big company streamers with the most viewers on Pangea TV.

If someone called me a snob or a calculating person for this, I wouldn’t have anything to say.

I was just a little citizen struggling for success and survival.

“Ah…”

While I was contemplating for a moment, Kim Hak-do and Apple Mong were heading to the concert hall hastily created two days prior.

I had contacted them to sell some construction materials, but Mr. Lena’s Land generated the materials with moderator privileges, missing a good opportunity.

Still, I understood.

Mr. Lena’s Land was trying to show something to coincide with the entry day of the big company streamer.

Ah! The mini concert, as mentioned earlier, was set to be hosted by Mayo.

She had been throwing a tantrum about not wanting to go.

I was able to persuade her by saying I’d gift her five skins based on her being a League of Legends girl.

But really, at her age, she’s only going to come around for League skins?

I was happy with the success of persuasion, but on the other hand, I couldn’t help but worry about the crew’s future.

There’s no way she’d engage in spy activities just because I’d give her all the skins, right?

Meanwhile, Kim Hak-do and Apple Mong were steadily making their way closer to the concert hall.

And by coincidence, I was passing by that direction as well.

Well… whether it was truly a coincidence is up to everyone’s judgment.

“Chief, loyalty!”

“Eh? Seo-Ah, aren’t you watching the concert?”

“I’m listening, but I’m busy, so I’ve set it to display on the screen next to me.”

“Tsk. You should really prioritize work later.”

Apple Mong was a streamer known for her old-fashioned claustrophobic attitude, rivaling Lucy.

The hierarchy according to age was very strict.

So she was the type to care a lot about participating in group activities.

But because I usually treated her respectfully, it created an understanding atmosphere even if she didn’t go to the concert.

“But who is this…?”

“Hello. I’m Kim Hak-do, who just entered today…”

“He’s so ugly.”

“Pardon?”

“…….”

I once again began a dangerous tightrope walk.

***

It’s truly difficult to leave a deep impression on big company streamers and their fans.

For a Hako streamer, it feels like encountering the opportunity of a lifetime, but for a big company streamer, it’s just another part of their routine.

Moreover, to not get nervous during a live stream while earning the favor of a big company streamer with witty remarks or ad-libs?

If a streamer had the capability to do that, they would have already escaped being a Hako streamer unless they were remarkably unlucky.

To put it simply, it’s an exceedingly rare occurrence, like a dragon emerging from a stream.

In fact, even I wouldn’t have the confidence to do that.

I’m not a broadcasting genius; I’m just an ordinary returned person.

Huh? Isn’t that a more fraudulent position?

In any case, I had to leverage the weapons I possessed.

That means preparing a thoroughly planned topic that could intrigue Kim Hak-do with a script, rather than relying on spontaneous meetings or ad-libs.

“No, this person is too rude. To say he’s ugly on the first meeting.”

“No, I’m talking about Kim Hak-do’s face, not his Minecraft character. You’re using the basic character right now, aren’t you?”

“Oh, that’s true. Wait, now that I see it, I’m the only one who isn’t good-looking.”

Apple Mong and I were wearing custom skins created by fans.

My virtual avatar was a cute character wearing a gaming headset with black hair and red eyes.

Seeing that, Kim Hak-do started whining to Apple Mong.

“No, please give me something cool too, Apple Mong. I need my League of Legends skin to look good. This isn’t acceptable.”

“Mr. Hak-do, you have to pay for this. Or ask someone among the fans who can make it.”

“Eh? This was a paid service? Ugh! This filthy capitalist world.”

Kim Hak-do’s exaggerated reaction seemed as if he was despairing over the shocking reality.

However, our tenacious Apple Mong was not to be taken lightly.

With a concert happening nearby, she immediately shut down Kim Hak-do for making a racket.

– LOL, he really is ugly, so he’s a perfect match for Hak-do.

– Doesn’t he know the Faker skin? The pinnacle of customization is the original.

– But what’s up with Apple Mong being like this? I wish she’d just shut up already.

[Top Guy Byeong-Gwan has been forcibly removed.]

“Mr. Hak-do, let’s stop being noisy and go watch the concert. Seo-Ah, we’re heading out.”

“Ah! Wait a moment. Actually, I’m a fan of Kim Hak-do, and I wanted to give him a present.”

“Oh! A gift sounds great. Is it something nice?”

“Seo-Ah, didn’t you hear? We decided not to give items to new residents. It was decided in the Lena Government meeting two days ago and announced in the Discord channel.”

Apple Mong had been grumbling since the beginning, saying that if they provided items and gear, the new residents wouldn’t experience the fun of Minecraft.

It seemed she was displeased with Mist, who had completed a full set of top-tier equipment through the recent volunteer activities of company staff and acted arrogantly.

“No. I heard too. I’m not giving gear, but I prepared a different gift, which I posted on the bulletin board of Kim Hak-do’s channel. Please check it out.”

“Hmm? My channel’s bulletin board? What is it?”

Kim Hak-do looked puzzled but soon went to check his channel.

And soon he discovered the Minecraft skin file I had posted.

“Oh?! What is this? No way?”

“Yes. It’s a Minecraft skin. I heard you were joining the server, so I prepared it in advance. Give it a try.”

“Wow, but this looks….”

– LOL, he has slanted eyes and green Hulk skin, what an ugly character.

– But it actually fits him well, totally a reflection of reality.

– Wow, what an insane gift, you must be a true fan.

The green color was akin to Kim Hak-do’s signature color, to the extent that he was nicknamed “Acerol.”

Kim Hak-do downloaded the file and applied the new skin, seemingly genuinely moved.

“No way, a slanted-eyed green character. You must really be my fan. I’m a bit touched.”

“I’m a platinum 3 jungler in League of Legends. So I became a fan because I also enjoy League streams.”

“Oh! Is that so? You’re not just saying that; you truly are my fan? Plus, if a girl is a platinum 3 jungler, that’s pretty impressive.”

– Seo-Ah has beaten Mr. Bongsik twice at MCK, earning 100,000 bits, LOL.

– Seo-Ah is a famous MCK demon at Pangea TV.

– I hope that one day you compete with Mr. Hak-do, you’ve never played against his virtual character.

Noticing the viewers’ chat, Kim Hak-do raised his voice in surprise.

“No way, you really won 100,000 bits at MCK? Wow, that’s not easy.”

“I participated twice, and I got lucky.”

“By the way, if you like League of Legends, are you perhaps a fan of Mr. Seong-ho too?”

“Yes. In fact, anyone who’s ranked higher than me and plays well is a fan. Right, Mr. Hak-do?”

“Wow! What’s with this person’s comments? That’s correct. Anyone higher than me in rank is an older brother or sister. Look at this sense~”

– Really? Hak-do, starting today, call me brother.

– If we account for ranks, 90% of viewers are bronze to gold, so what’s with the older brother talk? LOL.

– Wow, but with that skin gift, what’s up with this League girl mindset? Seo-Ah, I kinda like you.

With the skin gift and favorable comments, I had sufficiently caught Kim Hak-do and his fandom’s interest.

So I began looking for a moment to leave.

Getting too overtly cozy could make one seem “cheap.”

It’s amusing, but there could be a perception that I was some trivial person who relies on big company streamers.

Therefore, I decided to say my farewell to Kim Hak-do first at the right timing.

“I have to go now since I’m busy. If you encounter difficulties while playing, shout ‘Seo-Ah, help me’ in the chat. I’ll be here to help.”

I maintained a delightful position until the end.

This cool vibe would preserve the casual meet-cute feeling that big company fandoms wanted without being clingy.

A thoroughly calculated line and timing.

“Wait? ‘Noona’? How old are you?”

“I’m 23.”

“Hey, hey! Where are you being so disrespectful! I’m a fast 96. Call me older brother.”

“Hmmm~ I’ll think about it.”

Success.

He was definitely more comfortable with me, showing a willingness to drop the formalities.

We promised to meet again with a cheerful atmosphere.

A customized gift unique from others.

Fan cosplay utilizing future knowledge.

It was the perfect design that fully showcased my abilities as a returned person.
