Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 149
Episode 149: Intense Memory
Mr. Young-jun made a resolution.
He would definitely show something on this Minecraft server.
He had long forgotten how long he had been streaming.
He could not remain just a named Hako streamer forever.
“The ruined image from the Star Plate… I will definitely recover it.”
It is said that a normal person’s life has its ups and downs.
There are times when one is on the rise, and other times when one crashes down endlessly.
Young-jun’s streaming life was just like that.
He made a glamorous debut with the Warcraft 3 user map “Chaos.”
From the start of his streaming career, he gained fame with his decent looks and flashy gaming skills.
Then he began to play the popular game League of Legends and achieved the highest rank, Challenger.
Just when it seemed like he was at the peak of his streaming life, frequent controversies and conflicts with other streamers led him to fall drastically.
Nevertheless, he continued to stream steadily, even earning recognition for his League of Legends skills by working as a coach for the Chinese pro team RNG.
Then he returned to streaming, but as he aged, it seemed his physical abilities were declining, so he began trying various streaming endeavors beyond just games.
Among them, the most notable was his content themed around a water buffalo concept, exploring female streamer broadcasts, which surprisingly gained considerable popularity.
By parodying various dramas and adopting unique concepts, he brought laughter to the viewers, and as the President of League of Legends, Mr. Seong-ho, took a long-term hiatus, refugees flocked to him, maintaining an average viewership of 2,000 to 3,000, experiencing another peak.
He was also able to achieve the status of partner streamer during this time.
However, another trial and tribulation came again after such a bright future.
He was targeted by fellow streamers for suspicious gaming behavior, leading to legal disputes that resulted in the closure of his YouTube channel and extremely damaging effects on his live broadcasts.
The streamers who targeted him were critically significant figures in the League of Legends scene, so regardless of the truth, he had to go through incredibly tough days.
Still, he did not give up and continued his streaming life.
He searched for a new opportunity to leap again but ended up experiencing an even bigger failure and arrived at his current situation.
Now, Young-jun’s stream was barely maintaining an average viewership of 200.
Therefore, he had no choice but to be more determined.
“Yeah, streaming is all about the concept. Let’s lock down a solid concept from the start.”
He recalled the period in his streaming life when he was most successful as a visible radio host.
When he used the water buffalo concept that drove viewers to split their sides with laughter just by wearing a skirt!
With such memories of success, he decided to start this Minecraft server with a clear concept from the very beginning.
That would be a perverted uncle full of buttery awkwardness.
However, that concept faced obstacles right from the start.
“Eung-ae! Kids, I’m baby Young-jun. Wanna be friends?”
“Ah! What the heck, it’s totally disgusting.”
“Um… we’re a bit busy right now.”
“Wait! Don’t go. Let’s play together.”
On the same day, the big company streamer Kim Hak-do had entered, making the attention almost zero, and he approached with an awkward voice and comments?
Moreover, virtual streamers generally tend to focus on value-relationships, so it was natural for them to steer clear of a male streamer approaching them like this.
If he unknowingly misled the fan base of the water buffalo, it would greatly impact his streaming income.
“Oh, no, I just wanted to play together.”
Young-jun, who lacked understanding of virtual streamers, felt frustrated.
He had strategized thinking about female game streamers, but it was a complete failure!
Meanwhile, Kim Hak-do was surrounded by flowers, enjoying himself, while Young-jun wandered around alone and forlorn.
– Haha, the way he’s getting rejected everywhere is hilarious.
– He was a well-known water buffalo back in the day, but now he’s the number one caution for virtual streamers lol.
– Melodramatic Young-jun might end up being gay at this rate?
Despite all that, surprisingly, such a humiliating display attracted viewers.
While he had often seen scenarios where virtual streamers were welcomed like Mist or Kim Hak-do, seeing Young-jun being treated like this was refreshing.
It was as if some raw, unmasked charm was shining through?
“Alright, I’m a beginner, so I can teach you mining at least.”
“Ah! Thank you, Teacher.”
His endless efforts to seek out companions among the virtual streamers further deepened the viewers’ immersion.
Things gained through difficulty often feel more precious.
Moreover, Young-jun had a compelling story.
While Mist and Kim Hak-do had numerous virtual streamers around them supporting them with all kinds of gear, Young-jun was crawling up from the ground with bare hands with no support at all.
It was a success myth of an underdog that anyone could immerse themselves in.
Additionally, Young-jun had innate gaming talent based on his cerebral skills.
“Like this, right? And when the lava flows out, I’ll place the blocks I have and swiftly do this!”
“Wow! No way, how can you learn so quickly?”
Achieving Challenger with four accounts during his peak was no joke.
He graduated to diamond mining in no time and just a few hours later borrowed a pickaxe and ventured into the Nether.
No matter how powerful a growth story starting from the bottom is, today’s readers or viewers are not patient with anything frustrating and would throw it away right away.
Yet, Young-jun had none of that frustration.
It was as if the talent for Minecraft just came naturally to him and he quickly grew.
From the very first day of entering the server, Young-jun ended up mining diamonds and even successfully mined quartz in the Nether.
After a long time, he finally got a four-digit viewer count and satisfiedly ended the stream while checking the good viewer sentiment in the chat room.
“Wow, things are going well! Let’s try and keep this up tomorrow.”
This time, he really felt good about it.
Perhaps it would be a perfect match with the game Minecraft?
Thinking so, he woke up the next day, washed up, logged into the stream right away, and entered Lena World.
From afar, someone was waving.
“Welcome, Young-jun. Oh no, from now on your name is Chun-sik.”
“……”
The good feelings from yesterday were screaming loudly now.
Screaming to run away from here.
***
He had no intention of being greedy about Akatsuki.
He had no confidence that following the path of the V-Live members would yield the same results, and there was no need to average out at the already invested low point.
He would just wait for it to grow steadily and then munch on a few sweet fruits along the way.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean it will go smoothly.”
Naksu doesn’t just fall into anyone’s lap.
One must earn goodwill for it to flow in naturally.
With that in mind, he made a great resolution.
He would leave a strong impression before Young-jun met Mu-yo for the first time today.
“Welcome, Young-jun. No, from now on your name is Chun-sik.”
“……”
Ah, was this too strong from the start?
Remembering what had happened to him in past collaborations, Young-jun flinched.
But Young-jun was a streamer with experience and couldn’t easily be outdone.
He soon regained his composure and spoke.
“If I’m Chun-sik, does that mean I’m your slave? I knew it. Yes, I’m your love slave.”
“……”
He nailed the perverted uncle concept well.
But I couldn’t lose either.
Clenching my teeth and forcing down the thickening tension, I suggested.
“No, Young-jun uncle! I was going to introduce you to our V-Live members, but if you don’t want to, I won’t.”
“Huh? No, who said I don’t want to! Hurry and lead the way. And let me remind you again, I’m not your uncle. There’s a 9-year age gap that doesn’t even count for matching compatibility.”
“Ah, what’s that! Talking about a 9-year compatibility is totally disgusting!”
During our last collaboration, we had already established a sibling-like tension between us, bickering back and forth.
Despite the age difference, it had unintentionally become that way.
“Alright, here’s our company house! It’s not a place anyone can just enter, so make sure you shake off your shoes and pass the inspection!”
“Huh? What does that even mean? You want me to have my diamond boots checked? Am I crazy?”
“…… Too bad.”
I brought Young-jun inside, but Mayo, Lucy, and Supniti were out for external activities, leaving only Han A-yeon and Miho present.
“First, this is our part-timer A-yeon, and over here is our crew member, sister Miho.”
“Oh! Hello. Both of you are so beautiful. I am……”
“A washed-up perverted uncle named Young-jun.”
“Hey! Stop interrupting my introduction! And that content is weird!”
“Tch! Extras can be glossed over.”
“Who’s an extra!”
Our back-and-forth chatter soon erased all tension from our first meeting.
Miho spoke softly with a smile.
“Seoa brought an interesting person.”
“Ahaha, right? I’m quite humorous. By the way, if it’s not too much trouble, what’s your age?”
“Oh, as for me, it’s confidential, but roughly in my late 20s……”
Since many viewers were notoriously curious about age, Miho decided to explain it as late 20s and move on.
At the age of 29 in international terms, that is still in your 20s, right?
“Wow! That’s a perfect age. I think we don’t need to check our compatibility.”
“You crazy compatibility fanatic!”
Whack!
“Ugh!”
If even a 9-year age gap garners compatibility talk, how wide is the range for discussing compatibility with a 2 or 3-year age gap?
It seems like this person needs a lesson in logic.
I subtly signaled Miho, and this water buffalo guy, completely unaware, approached Han A-yeon to start the compatibility talk.
“Mr. Young-jun, I’ve heard you’ve recently joined the server. Would you like help with enchanting your pickaxe? I’ve got some levels to spare.”
“Ah! Really? Wow, you’re truly kind. Seoa, you should take notes from this.”
“Hmph!”
I smirked and ignored the sight of Young-jun handing the pickaxe to Miho.
Let’s see if he can still say that after a little while.
“Oh! And we take commemorative photos with those visiting our company building for the first time. Would you like to come this way for a moment?”
“Commemorative photos sound good. Oh! I came up with a great idea. I might create an exhibition later. I could showcase various photos taken during Lena World so that we can reminisce on the last day of the server.”
Miho skillfully guided Young-jun to the block.
Young-jun, still excited and unaware of the situation, was chattering away.
I did not need to say anything further; I pulled out a pickaxe from my inventory and destroyed the designated block.
“Uh, uh? Aah!”
Young-jun’s character fell into a trap, tumbling down.
Having already handed over the pickaxe to Miho, Young-jun looked up from the unreachable deep stone prison.
“W-what is this! Stop joking around and get me out!”
The view of Young-jun looking up in panic.
Hmm, I feel like I’ve experienced a similar situation recently.
From somewhere, I seemed to hear the echo of Oh-ha’s screams.
Trying hard to ignore it, I spoke to Young-jun.
“Mr. Young-jun, I have a movie that I love. If you guess the title, I’ll let you out.”
“What? No, seriously, stop joking! I have claustrophobia.”
“Tch! If you don’t want to, just forget it. I’m leaving.”
“Okay, okay! Don’t go! I’ll guess it. I’ll really guess it.”
Young-jun pondered for a moment and confidently shouted.
“I got it! The Outlaws 2! So you have this brilliant criminal quality, right?”
Calling out the title of the film with the highest number of viewers this year, Young-jun sounded so off.
Ay, with such a lack of sense.
With the corner of my mouth twitching, I told him the name of my favorite film.
“Old Boy. Do you like dumplings, Mr. Young-jun?”
Swipe!
I placed the destroyed block back in position to obstruct the view.
In the dark trap, Young-jun’s desperate screams echoed.
I was set to implant an unforgettable ‘intense’ memory.
