Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 187

Episode 187: Chaotic Situation

“I love you, customer… not ‘ho-gang.’ This is V-Live Company. How can I assist you?”

This is the catchphrase I’ve been pushing hard lately.

To promote the company’s identity, this kind of phrase is just right.

In fact, Wangko was going to pass, but he personally came to visit.

Upon checking, the current viewers are at 27,000, so at least I should make him like me.

“Oh. I’m just here for the first time, looking around.”

“Oh, I see. Hello, I’m the leader of the virtual crew V-Live! In Lena World, I’m the president of V-Live Company! I’m Seoa, a virtual streamer who won the Rookie Award at the 2022 year-end awards. V-Live YouTube channel, so good~ so good~”

“……”

I can feel the incredulous emotions in Wangko’s gaze.

Ahem! Did I go a bit too far?

But these days are an era of self-PR!

If our crew can succeed, I can make a fool of myself a hundred times over.

This is the weight of a leader!

Park Nana ultimately couldn’t take it anymore and broke, but for someone like me, trained from the lowest level of a tiny company, this was nothing.

“Hmm-hmm. I have a question, are the people working over there company employees?”

“Oh, those friends? They aren’t employees, they are debtors. Our company also dabbles in finance.”

“……”

What’s this? Wangko’s gaze toward me seems unusual.

It feels like… yes! Just like when Mayo looks at the junglers.

“To have forced labor and loan sharks in this peaceful healing world!”

“Uh? No, excuse me. We have officially registered our business…”

“Loan sharks always say that.”

This person seems to be seriously misunderstanding something.

I’m just a pure financier who adheres to Lena World’s legal interest rate (5%)!

But soon, Ranchu, who was called over by Wangko, began to revolt.

“We’ve shared meals with our chairman and played with a repair magic book while being threatened…”

“They said they’d deduct a thousand Lena from our pay every time we pick a tomato wrong.”

“They said even my old dog Ppopi would plant beats better than me!”

“……”

Hmm-hmm. In hindsight, I might have gone a bit too far?

But I had a solid defense logic.

“Uh~ it’s a fact that they aren’t doing their jobs. Still, I paid out the minimum wage~ tsk tsk. These days, the MZ generation can’t work but knows all about labor laws. What a time.”

“…… Seoa, you’re the youngest among these except Ju-2.”

With Oh-ha’s sudden interruption, I momentarily lost my words.

How shameless to throw an outside attack like that out of nowhere.

But I still had plenty of attack cards left.

“To tell the truth, they are malicious debtors. They borrowed 20 million Lena last time and, without repaying a penny, borrowed another 20 million Lena now! So, I was having them do forced labor to settle their debts.”

“Uh? Well, that part is correct, but…”

“Imagine a friend who borrowed money and is stalling by pretending to be sick. To someone who doesn’t know, it might seem harsh, but this is actually legitimate labor!”

“Wow! Ranchu, you guys are amazing. You borrowed 40 million Lena? When on earth are you planning to pay that back?”

“No, the chairman keeps gambling with the money he borrowed for repair magic books. I can’t take it!”

Ranchu, popping off in frustration while gabbing about Chairman Kim Hak-do, calling him the source of all evil.

I shrugged my shoulders and emphasized yet again the sincere labor to settle debts as it pertains to issues within Rissle Company.

Feeling wronged? (Why?)

If you feel wronged, isn’t it just that you shouldn’t have gotten into debt? (Really didn’t get it?)

Wangko, who had been watching from beginning to end, looked at me curiously.

“No, this person is optimized for the battle grounds!”

“I think so too, Hyung-nim.”

“……”

Is this a compliment? Or is it…?

***

January 3rd, Tuesday.

Wangko entered Lena World.

However, the entry of heavyweights didn’t stop there.

Lena Land, who hosted the third section of the year-end awards on Pangea TV in 2022.

Then, she met the streamer Mr. NS, sharing her feelings about it on a broadcast with Apple Mong.

“Really, his looks are no joke. You’ve seen a lot of celebrities, right? He is genuinely a celebrity-level guy.”

“Wow! But from what you’re saying, it sounds like you’re almost falling for him.”

“Plum Mong! What are you talking about? He is a married man.”

Thus, the compliments about appearances flew over to the broadcast of Mr. NS, which he acknowledged in praise of Lena Land, affirming that she was not just any celebrity.

“Lena World looks really interesting these days. Honestly, I had some interest in Minecraft a while back and tried it. But Wangko said, ‘If you play Mark, your stream will flop.’ But I hear you’re joining Lena World soon. What a funny guy.”

This time, the praises from Mr. NS flew toward Lena Land.

Naturally, Lena Land couldn’t help but feel delighted.

If the threshold for a big company streamer is keeping over 10,000 viewers, unfortunately, Mr. NS didn’t meet that condition.

But he maintained a level of 7,000 – 8000 viewers, equivalent to combining two mid-tier streamers and had exceptional charisma.

Mr. NS was the representative of the popular entertainment crew ‘Cini,’ known for their compelling stories and immersion, which had a massive loyal fan base.

Thus, his influence could be likened to that of an ordinary big company streamer.

“Mr. NS is welcome to join at any time. I’ll give you a recommendation so anyone you want can join the server.”

“Oh, I probably won’t be able to join often due to the Cini group. But understood. I’ll make some time to enjoy Lena World.”

Mr. NS’s participation in Lena World.

With that, the remaining big company streamers on Pangea TV were Baekgu, Jamst, and Mr. Seong-ho.

More than half of the big company streamers had joined.

Naturally, Lena World became part of Pangea TV’s mainstream.

Of course, with Buck Minam Park Bong-sik announcing a long break, it still felt lacking, but if he returned, Lena World would become a massive server that everyone would pay attention to.

“I was a step late. But there’s still a way.”

Meanwhile, mid-tier streamer Yuseona was grinding her teeth.

Who would have thought Wangko and Mr. NS would enter Lena World?

If only she had contacted them in advance.

Having publicly stated it on the broadcast, it was too late to turn back now.

If she suddenly changed servers now, anyone would talk behind her back.

But from Yuseona’s perspective, it felt like a cruel twist of fate.

On the very day she posted the recruitment announcement for ‘Suna Land,’ Wangko and Mr. NS decided to enter Lena World.

“There’s nothing I can do about the past. I’ll have to gather the remaining people somehow…”

Still, more than half of the big company streamers were left.

And there were powerful mid-tier streamers too.

For instance, if someone like Sayoh were to choose…

“And maybe, just maybe… while Bong-sik has tried Lena World, he hasn’t definitively confirmed it, right? He just said he would think positively. If I could somehow persuade Bong-sik to join…”

The influence of Buck Minam Park Bong-sik could rival that of two ordinary big company streamers.

Thus, if she could lure just him away, Suna Land would have a fair chance.

“Let’s not get excited and calm down. First, I’ll post the tenant recruitment announcement and contact the tiered streamers. By the way, it seems there aren’t any Starcraft streamers in Lena World.”

Yuseona was the owner of the NSU (Star University) team, having strong connections in that field.

If she could draw in streamers from Starcraft, it would surely help elevate the server’s tier.

“And we also need to recruit many virtual streamers. The whole idea for Vtopia initiated from Minecraft.”

Ironically, two members of Vtopia, Ppokgeum and Han-Se-bin, were currently tenants of Lena World.

So Yuseona had no choice but to agonize over it.

Should she persuade the two to abandon their server?

“So I wanted to hear your thoughts. What do you think?”

“I’ll move over. I want to play with my crew friends.”

Han-Se-bin promptly stated her opinion as if waiting.

But Ppokgeum hesitated, unable to reply easily.

“Pokgeum, what’s wrong? Do you have something to say?”

“Well, there’ve been some rumors lately.”

“What rumors?”

“They say Seona is trying to keep Lena Land in check by creating a Minecraft server. There’s talk that soon the members of Vtopia as well as virtuals will be poached.”

“What?”

That was a rumor circulating in the underground community at the time.

Particularly, the server dogs protecting Lena World were proactively presenting this opinion, leading public sentiment.

Yuseona, who valued face and image, couldn’t help but get riled up.

And her thoughts began to change.

“Pokgeum, for now, stay in that server.”

That was Yuseona’s judgment.

If Ppokgeum, a member of Vtopia, remained in Lena World, they could at least intercept a significant portion of the strange conspiracy theories.

Moreover, it was a subtle trap.

If Yuseona’s decision to create Suna Land upset Lena Land, leading him to expel Ppokgeum from the server, public opinion in the community would surely sour drastically.

“I’ve been in the streaming community for eight years now. Let’s see who comes out on top.”

Thus commenced the new Gold Cup server battle.
