Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 170

**Episode 170: Best Streamer?**

Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s exploration of Lena World ended in a day but had a significant impact.

First, the viewership in the Minecraft category.

The number that used to hover below 20,000 when Kim Hak-do was absent rose to the mid-20,000 range.

Through that day’s broadcast, viewers who became interested in Minecraft flowed in.

Moreover, this influx was not just a one-time event.

“I’ll take a long-term hiatus after the year-end awards broadcast. Right? I’ve been working non-stop, so I’ll take a breather.”

– “What kind of breather do you need when you’re making that much money? If you see the amount that hits your account, you’d work like a dog without a day off.”

– “Seriously, these streamers have become so lazy. Viewers come home after working all day and still watch broadcasts without resting. They should learn from that, right?”

– “If you want to rest, go to another world and rest. You know?”

Fans reacted strongly, but Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s long-term hiatus couldn’t be stopped.

What results did that hiatus yield?

Unexpectedly, Lena World benefited from it.

Since Buck Minam Park Bong-sik didn’t broadcast until the end of January, many of his fans circulated around Lena World for almost a month.

Limiani, Dananyang, and Mr. Young-jun particularly benefited from this.

They were all streamers connected to Buck Minam Park Bong-sik.

Especially, they flocked to the same-gendered Mr. Young-jun for comfort, allowing him to surpass 10,000 viewers for the first time in his streaming career.

Yeah, it definitely felt like that before the regression.

– “Seoa, when’s Bong-sik going to do the next MCK? I’ve been in solitary training for almost a week, and my skills have improved a lot.”

– “I joined this fan cafe; can I post videos related to Bong-sik here? Not just any videos, but ones that mention him or ones where we appeared together.”

– “I was wondering why anyone would watch a No-Cam Broadcast like this, but I developed a liking for Bong-sik through Seoa’s stream.”

“……”

Oh? Unexpectedly, I received an influx too.

***

Active participation in the MCK.

And just yesterday, a standout and generous gift in Minecraft.

Thanks to that, as soon as I started the broadcast, ‘Mr. Mu-jeossi’ came rushing in.

The term ‘Mu-jeossi’, meaning fans of Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, is relatively associated with a higher average age in the streaming community, thus the nickname.

What does that imply?

In the chat, the ‘framework’ vibe subtly radiates, and with that wealth comes ample Candy sponsorship.

Wow! Candy is sweetening things up.

“Many fans of Uncle Bong-sik have come by. Hello, I’m Seoa, the leader of the V-Live Crew. Unfortunately, MCK will be on a break for a while. When you have a Hakkoh constantly doing competing missions, the fans’ wallets get hurt, so it can’t be helped. And there are rules regarding video uploads to the fan cafe announcement, so please read carefully and follow those.”

– “So what’s the content? Hurry up and give us something.”

– “Let’s log into Lena World; I’ve heard the server is great, show us.”

– “This is my first time seeing a Virtual; it’s interesting. Can I take off my gaming headset?”

After appropriately engaging with the newly arrived viewers, I joined Lucy’s stream.

Coincidentally, the Best Streamer selection broadcast was ongoing, and Lucy was watching it.

“Oh! Seoa, you made it! It’s starting soon.”

As the manager’s attendance message popped up upon my entry, Lucy immediately recognized my presence and greeted me warmly.

Voices of Miho and Mayo could be heard on the stream; it seemed everyone was on Discord, so I joined right away.

“Hi, hi! Everyone was gathered here. Were you all plotting treason without me?”

“Hehe! Now that you caught us, we have no choice. Mayo will take the lead, while the other girls attack from behind.”

“Hmm? I can’t hear the voice of a rookie who hasn’t even met the conditions to apply for the Best Streamer?”

“……”

With a strong fact assault, Mayo was immediately taken down, and I focused on the two stars of the day.

“Are both of you confident?”

“Well, I’ve met all the data requirements. If it doesn’t work out, I might have to report it to the National Newspaper Office.”

Having fulfilled all the conditions, Miho exuded confidence.

Honestly, I also believe Miho will definitely make it.

The one who’s actually on the edge feels like Lucy.

While all the conditions for the Best Streamer challenge were met, from then on, it’s a relative evaluation which can’t be helped.

“I absolutely must pass this month. Thankfully, this month is somewhat of a vacant space, but starting next month, it’s going to be packed.”

In fact, it could be said that December started marking the point for the Best Streamer challenge in the virtual world.

As for me, I’ve been streaming and already debuted a month before the 720p incident, meeting the conditions in November to become a Best Streamer.

The applicants this month were probably the earlier virtuals who transferred relatively early after the 720p incident?

Next month, the competition is bound to explode.

There will be those eliminated in the December reviews, and the timing in January aligns with the Ugaidol Audition participants.

Thinking about the bulk of virtual transfers that came over then, the number of applicants in January must certainly be much higher than it is now.

“Oh! It’s starting.”

“Miho, I’d be overjoyed if you got eliminated and came back next month as my fellow Best Streamer.”

“If you keep spouting nonsense, will you go queue up for some Sol ranked games instead?”

“Mayo, even if it’s a joke, I told you not to say such bad things, right? Who did you learn those bad phrases from?”

“I learned it from Sister Seoa. All bad things come from Sister Seoa!”

“……”

Why is it only during these times I revert back to normal speak minus the RP?

In the meantime, we transitioned from the game and radio categories to the turn of the virtual category.

“Yes! This is a newly established segment starting this month. Right now, the ‘Virtual’ field. Who will be selected, I wonder… Here we go!”

“The first one is Mr. Mu-yo. Recently, he has showcased impressive performances in Minecraft’s Lena World. Active in the Decrescendo Crew, he has also presented the ‘Murial Clinic’ content, where he personally shapes avatars of the impoverished virtuals he receives applications from. Congratulations.”

“Next, we have Nyapas. She stands out primarily for her content utilizing full tracking. Also conducting game and radio broadcasts, she has recently appeared on the official virtual broadcast, showcasing her impressive speaking skills. Congratulations.”

“Finally, this person has made it. The third one is Dunyang-i. She is very active across a wide range of areas. The name of her crew is quite interesting too. She is working in the Stolen Flower Crew, named because it means stealing viewers’ hearts.”

In an instant, the figures of the applicants pass by.

Naturally, words fade, and our crew’s two nominees begin focusing.

Amidst the tense atmosphere about to burst, it was Miho who fired the first signal.

“Wow, already the tenth individual. It’s V-Live Crew’s Miho. After gaining recognition from the Ugaidol Audition, she’s conducted numerous varied contents. Her content named ‘Miho’s Snack Bar’ was particularly impressive. Congratulations.”

“I passed! I’m a Best Streamer now!”

Miho’s thunderous voice echoing through the headset.

Her husky tone radiated with genuine delight.

Indeed, a 10% increase in currency exchange cannot be overlooked.

While Miho settled down, glimpses of several notable figures passed by.

Orikung, the leader of Po-cotin, Choi Eun-bin from Vtopia, and Elsa from Decrescendo Crew, etc.

All were faces that heated up the early days of Pangea TV’s virtual segment.

“Oh, now there are just two left. This month’s selection for the virtual field included a total of 20 individuals, quite generous indeed. Now, let’s check the last two on the final page.”

“Great! Let’s go!”

Unbeknownst to me, the sound of my racing heartbeat grew louder.

What’s going on?

It felt like it was due to recalling memories from before the regression.

Lucy, who transferred to Pangea TV in February 2023, after enduring numerous hardships, finally became a Best Streamer in June after various ups and downs.

I couldn’t forget the emotion of that moment.

Back then, it was a much redder ocean, with many competitors causing Lucy to face elimination twice.

To increase the number of favorites somehow, I desperately promoted on FM Community and, as the president, even incurred personal costs to hold events offering gift codes and boost items to the audiences.

All of this was to slightly raise Lucy’s broadcast data score…

Of course, I wasn’t the only one exerting effort.

Lucy sang dozens of songs every day to increase her fan subscription numbers.

“Right, it was because of such struggles and efforts that confirming the results brought such a profound emotion.”

I wonder what this time will feel like?

“First up is Na Haeri from Prika! She showcased wonderful performances in the Ugaidol Audition and was selected as a final member. Main contents include comprehensive gaming and singing, and recently, she magnificently conducted an advertisement broadcast alongside Sayoh. Congratulations.”

“And the grand finale goes to Lucy from the V-Live Crew. Throughout the month, she conducted morning news broadcasts, delivering good information to her viewers. Recently, she uploaded a Christmas carol video, achieving 20,000 views in just three days! She’s been exhibiting an excellent display. Congratulations.”

“Yes! It’s done! Lucy sister also made it!”

“Lucy, congratulations! We both did great!”

Lucy’s silhouette appears last.

The voices of the two crew members ring clear in my ears.

“Yeah. Thank you. Congratulations to you too, Miho.”

Lucy’s avatar smiling gently from across the screen.

And a Best Streamer qualification achieved six months earlier than before regression.

Only then could I relax and smile.

We were clearly moving in a better direction.
