Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 173

Episode 173 Year-End Awards Ceremony

Yesterday felt like a day when our fans were really fired up.

A total of 3 hours of roulette time.

The total number of candies I received in sponsorship yesterday was a whopping 214,758!

This number exceeded the previous virtual roulette record set by Park Nana at 182,559.

Naturally, the virtual-related gallery went into a frenzy.

During the 3-hour roulette time, the Gold Cup was in progress, and every time the numbers were updated in real-time by units of ten thousand, the commentary posts kept rising.

Around the time it approached 180,000, gallery members believed to be Decrescendo fans left posts and comments that were almost curses, and finally, the moment of reversal occurred!

As if they had prepared in advance, they presented a new argument.

– Wow;; The V-Live fans and Seo-Ah are truly low-key.

Looking at Baio and Park Nana, the roulette time ended within 2 hours, but they were desperately trying to cash in on candies from the fans, filling up the 3 hours. It’s truly vicious, vicious. If the camera were on, a vicious woman would appear.

– I can really see the transparent calculations in their heads. They’re struggling to extend the time because they want to break Park Nana’s record. After surpassing 180,000, the smiles on their faces completely vanished.

– Looks like the defeated Decrescendo fans have gathered here. Bark, bark~

– Honestly, if Seo-Ah had only spun the roulette for 2 hours, who knows who the winner is.

In the meantime, the tension and conflicts between Decrescendo and the V-Live Crew, who appeared to be on good terms, began in earnest.

This was an unavoidable flow of events.

Previously, the Decrescendo fandom and our fandom were able to “hahaha” get along well because the hierarchy was established, and we acted according to our given positions.

But now, the story has changed a little.

The V-Live Crew began to rise sharply around Christmas.

Of course, Decrescendo wasn’t easy either, but based on recent momentum, we were indeed ahead.

Even though the Christmas carol video was uploaded a day late, a reversal occurred in its view count, and during Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s exploration of Lena World, I stood out, and soon the Mu-jeossi and the streams began searching for our Crew’s broadcasts.

We reached a level almost equal to that of the Decrescendo Crew members.

Moreover, through the best streamer selection broadcast two days ago, we now had three members, while the Decrescendo Crew had two (Elsa, Mu-yo).

With the various indicators showing that the once dominant Decrescendo fandom was gradually falling behind, it was impossible for them not to feel anxious.

Could it be… that we are losing?

In this situation, the Decrescendo fans pulled out their last bastion to establish a firm defense logic.

That was none other than the “candy power,” which can be said to be the most important indicator for streamers.

A powerful question that no one can ignore in a capitalist society.

So, how much did you earn?

Fans who had entrusted their identities to the streamer puffed up their chests as if it were their own income.

In November, Seo-Ah ranked first in virtual candy sponsorship, but the 2nd, 4th, and 5th places were all Decrescendo Crew members, and in December, due to the current roulette influence, Park Nana and Baio were taking the 1st and 2nd places.

Before this strong argument, even the V-Live fans had to keep quiet.

But just yesterday!

With 214,758 sponsorships in a single day, we snatched the 1st place in December’s virtual candy sponsorship rankings.

Naturally, our fans rejoiced as if a festival had begun, while the Decrescendo fans, whose last line of defense had crumbled, could only feel rage boiling.

Had we, who had been on a winning streak, finally faced defeat?

Given this background story, it was only natural that the Gold Cup between the two fandoms would be as fierce as if facing life and d*ath.

“I do feel proud that our crew has grown this much, but this is…”

I can ignore it, but I worry about the crew members.

Recently, with the increase in viewing audiences, among them, there were malicious individuals wearing masks pretending to be chatters, as well as fans from rival crews aiming openly at us.

These malicious individuals were so insidious that even before the regression, there were instances like this.

They kept the stream of a virtual streamer with a grudge running and recorded it in real time.

Then one day, the streamer made a verbal mistake that could lead to a controversy, and even though they realized it and deleted the replay, the malicious individual had secured the data through real-time recording, which could not be undone.

Eventually, a targeting post went up on FM Community, and the controversial streamer had to go through a period of reflection for a while.

You might find such behavior creepy, but looking at the streaming community, there were plenty of individuals worse than this.

“I don’t have a specific way to respond to this. It’s just something we need to be careful about…”

In the end, it was like the destiny of a streamer.

As the scale grows and viewers increase, they must remember that the number of eyes watching them also increases.

How many people who had been doing well in the streaming community ended up falling because they flaunted it?

Never forget to be cautious with fire and words!

– Seo-Ah, when will you show us your Maasai tribal dance? It’s been a day already, and I might get dizzy waiting.

“Here, eat this.”

I’m saying it again; you really have to be careful with your words.

Friday, December 30.

It’s the day of Pangea TV’s annual year-end awards ceremony again.

This grand festival where not only big company streamers but also mid-tier ones participate in full force was not easy to compete against.

Gather the crew members without fail!

Today, we decided to watch the year-end awards ceremony broadcast together with the viewers.

– But why is Seo-Ah here? Shouldn’t she be preparing to receive the grand prize?

– The first-ever virtual award ㄷㄷ;;

– I heard Mercury (Lena Universe) is doing a congratulatory performance.

In the official year-end awards broadcast, comedian-turned-streamer Choi Min was hired as the opening host.

We had gathered from Mayo’s broadcast to gather data for next month’s best streamer selection.

From the start, it was lively, as if there was much to say.

“Seo-Ah, I secretly watched yesterday’s broadcast, and things were running quite earnestly, huh?”

“Ahem!”

“I too secretly went and watched. The wicked leader had me farming Ender while she spun the roulette. I’m really mad that I couldn’t even play solo rank.”

“Seo-Ah, more importantly, what was up with that title yesterday? Huh? Underboob, high-leg, cat pose in the back… what’s that all about?”

The attacks due to yesterday’s deeds began sharp from the start.

I desperately twisted my body and managed to escape by promising the crew members delivery gift certificates.

Phew! Just wait, you think you’ll never spin the roulette again!?

As we were having such a back-and-forth, the year-end awards ceremony opening proceeded smoothly.

It was like watching a scene from a famous film festival, with a long red carpet laid out, and Choi Min was bringing in famous streamers for short interviews.

One, two, three… streamers kept appearing endlessly.

Wait, were there this many famous streamers who actually showed up at the awards ceremony?

However, most of them were streamers from the StarCraft and cam-show sectors, so I didn’t recognize many faces.

Since I started watching streams in 2022, I don’t really know streamers who aren’t associated with the virtual scene.

As I chatted with the crew while reacting moderately, finally a streamer we might recognize appeared.

“Doiru~ Doiru~ At last, a superstar has arrived. Let’s welcome Kim Hak-do, who will serve as our reporter for today.”

Kim Hak-do, a big company streamer known as the “League of Legends President” at Pangea TV.

Having recently been active in Lena World, I could say he was quite a familiar face.

Unlike his usual comfortable broadcasting attire, he appeared dressed in a sharp suit fitting for the award ceremony.

The chat in the official broadcast began to flood with “ㄷㅇㄹ”.

“Hey, Mr. Kim Hak-do, you’re one of the strong contenders for this year’s grand prize, right? Do you expect to win?”

“Of course, I think I should win. After all, these days it’s all about self-promotion rather than modesty. It’s only right that I should receive it.”

“Ahaha! At least you have confidence. I hope for great results. Now, let’s bring out the next person!”

“Huh? Is that it for me? It seems too short to have an interview with a grand prize contender.”

Kim Hak-do, who ensured his airtime until the end before disappearing.

After that, I saw Sayoh walking down the red carpet.

– Oh! The father of virtual, Pangea TV’s Sayoh!

– Sayoh’s name has a bit of a ring to it;; But Sayoh is definitely recognized. I hope Prika shines in 2023~

– What’s Pangea TV doing? If they want to take virtual pies from LebitTV, can they give a push to Sayoh?

“Hello, I’m Sayoh, the host of a comprehensive game broadcast on Pangea TV… and now I will be the manager of a virtual idol group. It’s a great honor to be invited to today’s year-end awards ceremony.”

“Wow! Sayoh, recently you were really hot with the virtual audition. I personally enjoyed it a lot. I believe the group is called Prika.”

“Oh! Is that so? Thank you so much. Was there a member that stood out to you?”

“Ah, yes. I am… who was that? The one with pink hair. Oh! Got it, it was Na-roshi. I liked Na-roshi’s vocal color.”

“…”

At that moment, Sayoh, our crew members, and the viewers watching the broadcast were likely all of one heart, one intent.

k*ll that j*rk!

The year-end awards ceremony heated up right from the start.
