Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 177
Chapter 177: The Last of 2022 (Part 2)
“Hmm, I get the feeling, but…”
Mayo’s video gave me quite a shock.
She had been telling me for days that something big was coming without me even asking.
Honestly, I felt that Mayo’s broadcasting skills had improved a lot recently.
Outside of broadcasting, she was also pouring out questions, showing her eagerness to learn, which was admirable.
So I was really looking forward to this big reveal.
But seeing the video that Mayo released, I thought, huh?
“No, this is just a League of Legends mad movie!”
Miho couldn’t hide her astonishment and shouted.
This crazy League of Legends girl, really.
The words of our ancestors were always right.
They warned us not to dine with top enthusiasts.
After teasing us with high expectations, she pulls the rug out from under us just like that?!
Of course, the quality of the video was excellent, with nothing to critique.
I felt like I was watching a promotional video for the World Championship.
Every k*ll scene had dazzling effects that screamed money, and I couldn’t help but smile wryly.
After watching the whole thing, I understood Mayo’s intention.
“Ultimately, she wants to put everything on the line for the Destruction Battle.”
I understand Mayo’s feelings.
As a League of Legends girl, she must be tired and dissatisfied with the recent focus on Minecraft.
Nonetheless, I’m quite satisfied that she has been following my words well without complaint lately.
“Still, she just can’t resist the Destruction Battle in the end.”
It was a choice I could understand completely.
In fact, streamers active in Pangea TV’s League of Legends scene all think of the Destruction Battle as end content.
It’s that prestigious, having birthed many superstar streamers within the League scene.
In reality, there is no problem.
Since I’m also planning to participate in the Destruction Battle myself.
It’s just that I find it adorable that Mayo couldn’t seem to wait and was already dropping hints.
She’s probably worried that by then, she would still be just mining and farming Enders.
I’m just left laughing at how transparent her intentions are.
– “Hey, Mayo plays League better than I thought. Isn’t she at Director Jeong’s level?”
– “Oh, come on! Editing a mad movie makes Bronze players look like pros, haha. Director Jeong is a verified PUBG player, but the balance is off.”
– “League of Legends girls are always welcome! By the way, do you think Mayo will commentate on LCK too? She can’t because she doesn’t have the authority, but she can still do commentary.”
The audience’s reactions were better than expected.
Indeed, League of Legends is considered one of the top-tier games among the general public.
Moreover, recent fans may be tired of the square world due to the focus on Minecraft.
So they might be nostalgic for League of Legends?
“League of Legends is the best game recognized worldwide. Mayo confidently declares her participation in this Destruction Battle.”
“No, but the schedule for the Destruction Battle hasn’t even been announced yet.”
Look at how hasty she is.
Mayo still had a lot to learn regarding broadcasting.
And so, the first segment ended.
For a moment, we exchanged glances, and Mayo volunteered herself to select the next judge.
“Earlier, Miho unnie betrayed me first. So Miho unnie goes second.”
“No, that… Ugh! Fine.”
With the implicit agreement between the two of us, Miho had no choice but to nod.
Finally, it was the second round.
The video prepared by Miho began to play.
– “Everyone, do you want to come eat ramen on Miho’s stream?”
The provocative introduction of the video followed a typical flow rather than being groundbreaking.
Miho certainly showed her experience for her age.
It was evident that she had done her market research well.
She skillfully placed trending memes and catchphrases while effectively highlighting the characteristics of her broadcast.
For instance, her food broadcast with alcoholic drinks, or the sexy appeal that was rare among other crew members.
Most importantly, incorporating dance using full tracking and content from VRC drew cheers from the Buttpicking Viewers.
It was truly ironic.
Given her age, one would expect the youngest Mayo to be the most familiar with the latest technology, yet Miho, the oldest, was ranking first in crew VRC playtime.
“Maybe there was a strategic calculation involved?”
Surviving means being strong.
Miho, realizing her gaming skills were lacking, might have chosen a different path proactively.
After all, overlapping viewer pies within the crew is not a good thing.
“I can trust Miho unnie with YouTube-related work.”
After watching the entire video, I concluded she would appeal to her own broadcasting charm while still maintaining stability.
Fundamentally, I still had to take on the major responsibilities, but I judged that normally, Miho wouldn’t be an issue.
Even if we look into the period before the regression, she is one year older than me, so she must have accumulated experience.
“Besides, I can’t handle everything forever. After all, I’m not a ninja who can use a shadow clone technique.”
As the crew grows, there are limits to what one person can do.
Just taking care of her own broadcast is no small feat; it’s not like the tasks are just one or two.
The first priority is the crew’s YouTube channel.
So far, only the Christmas carol video had been uploaded, but going forward, I plan to edit highlight videos every time there is a crew gathering.
Negotiating with video creators and ensuring schedules or providing feedback would be essential, so it would become quite a challenging task.
“And managing the fan cafe is important too. In fact, it’s no exaggeration to say that the love of the virtual crew fans relies heavily on how well the fan cafe is utilized.”
While there are managers for cafe management, the final decision rests with the streamer themselves.
Such work requires a meticulous and careful personality in a manager.
Thus, I had Lucy in mind as a candidate.
Next year, I should start the handover slowly.
“Then there are external tasks related to workers. Honestly, this is the highest level of difficulty.”
The virtual booth’s hairstyles and outfits are frequently updated.
Sometimes, a brilliant item comes out that draws a good response from viewers.
For example, the Santa girl outfits that our crew presented collectively at Christmas.
Such items cannot be applied overnight.
It requires selecting items in advance, requesting the writers, coordinating schedules, and sometimes revising based on conditions.
Ultimately, it is a task that relies on ‘connections’ along with the ability to deal with people.
“To be able to request works from popular writers like Bebetang is truly a rare opportunity. Fortunately, I’ve built a rapport since before my debut, so I have a direct phone number and can communicate relatively easily.”
However, Bebetang’s name value has risen significantly, so now her schedule is always booked with requests.
At least I have a special relationship that allows me to pay for expedited service to update my and my crew’s avatars, but can other virtuals enjoy such benefits?
“Ultimately, I have no choice but to take on the external work… There are just too many major responsibilities beyond avatars.”
For example, there would be meetings with external companies for the virtual concert.
I can’t just hand over those tasks to the members.
It would be too burdensome.
In reality, a famous virtual crew handling concert-related work before the regression was scammed.
They paid everything in advance, yet the quality of the prepared concert was said to be terrible.
“In the end, I’m going to keep managing the external work; that leaves Mayo with something to handle.”
What tasks should I assign to Mayo?
After pondering for a moment and recalling the video she released today, I realized.
Right, let’s just keep Mayo healthy.
She’s still a minor; she still has room to grow.
“Now, it’s just the two of us left.”
“What? Lucy unnie, are you flirting with me?”
“Seoa, can we stop the nonsense?”
My heart ached at her suddenly cold gaze.
No, it was actually a clever joke.
– “Whoa, the atmosphere between the two of them is intense!”
– “By the way, they had lunch together the other day on the day Seoa did her solo broadcast.”
– “Sometimes Seoa’s looks towards Lucy feel like something deeper is going on.”
Anyway, the viewers driving the conversation are first-rate.
To accuse me of harboring long-held fan sentiments with just a few words!
“Then let’s decide with rock-paper-scissors.”
“Okay!”
As a result of rock-paper-scissors, it was decided to reveal Lucy’s video first.
Yes, this is it.
The protagonist always appears last; isn’t that the classic trope?
Finally, Lucy’s video started.
Interestingly, the three videos seemed to follow their own personalities.
While Mayo’s video was unpredictable, Miho’s felt like it followed the elements of a successful production, and Lucy’s was straightforward from the start.
Using her own song as background music, she silently showcased her past broadcasts.
From her first day of transfer to the Ugaidol Audition and the stage from the concert I planned.
The earnestness and effort she put into her morning news broadcast.
And the fun crew gatherings and her achievements in Minecraft.
She handled all these processes in a rough yet sincere manner.
There were no eye-catching flashy edits or dazzling moments, but her calm voice and unpretentious honesty left a deep impression.
“Well, now it’s my turn.”
Before the lingering feelings completely faded, I played the video I had prepared.
My screen overlays appeared over Lucy’s video.
