Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 188

Episode 188: Why I’m Kneeling

“Wait, Mr. Wangko and Mr. NS are in the server?”

“I have no idea who they are. More importantly, I played 20 ranked games yesterday, and my team’s luck was terrible.”

“……”

Both Miho and Mayo seemed to have enjoyed their day off thoroughly.

On the other hand, Lucy said she went to her family home but looked rather unhappy.

What happened?

“Alright, if you all enjoyed your break, let’s get back to work starting today. The new year of 2023 has begun, and it’s time to really push ourselves.”

“Really… we’re just getting started? So what we’ve been doing so far was just the prologue?”

“Mayo said she wants to report Seoa to the labor department.”

“Huh! Seoa is right. Since it’s the New Year, let’s all work harder.”

“……”

It’s contradicting again?

Lucy, who was burning with enthusiasm.

Anyway, it’s a good attitude that she’s willing to work hard.

“Everyone, gather!”

“Yeeeeeah!”

Today, all our V-Live Company members gathered from the morning.

Han A-yeon, a university student, also promised to be fully available for the time being as she finished her semester two weeks ago.

“Wow~ Miho, yesterday was so good.”

“Me too. How about doing it in real life next time?”

“Sounds good! Let’s go all out that day.”

Miho and Supniti became very close in just one day.

Supniti’s primary content was late-night alcohol drinking broadcasts, and Miho had no idea that Bluebee had controlled things before her return. Knowing the truth now, she realized Supniti was an incredible drinker.

“Is it the bond built over alcohol? I guess there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Before her return, Supniti had been an issue a few times for being late, but that was understandable since that happened on a tough RPG server like Lena World 2.

She had never committed any significant wrongdoing, so if they got along well, it would be fine to be close.

“Now, I’ll inform you about this week’s important tasks. First up, the most crucial event! The 3rd Purge Day happening this week. Since our company’s reputation is on the line, we absolutely cannot miss it.”

Winning from the first to the third round.

What an honorable record that is.

It was definitely worth it.

“Honestly, this is the last chance for us to win. After this, other companies will gear up their core members, and then it will come down to control, with many former pro gamers in the game.”

Members with end-game gear sets were steadily increasing.

Just look at the Owang Company, which will be formed by Wangko absorbing Oh-ha Company. Already, Oh-ha and Su-pi were holders of final equipment sets.

Plus, if we push Wangko hard until Purge Day, he will also equip final equipment and show up.

“That makes at least three. That’s not easy.”

If things are already like this, there would be no way to win during the 4th Purge Day.

So this was the last opportunity to achieve a three-peat… to secure our legacy.

After that, it would all be packaged as a glorious retirement while living off past successes.

Since Purge Day would soon be replaced by the arena, by then, our company’s record would remain immortal and could never be broken.

“Every single record instills pride in our fans.”

And that pride would make fans immerse themselves even more in V-Live Company.

V-Live Company, boasting traditions and history!

This was precisely the process of creating the ‘story’ I had been emphasizing so much.

“Moreover, the timing is perfect. Buck Minam Park Bong-sik announced his long-term hiatus.”

Thanks to Buck’s choice to go on hiatus while leaving strong expectations for Lena World, many of his fandom were circulating around.

Before the return, Akatsuki had written a magnificent story and absorbed most of those wandering fans.

Now, we also had that opportunity.

“Some people say those wanderers are illusions, but ultimately, it’s how the streamer handles it. And most importantly, even if they vanish, they still leave Candy sponsorships while they’re here. How is that an illusion? Numbers consistently show up in the account.”

January before the return.

Mr. Young-jun, who captured the hearts of wandering viewers, achieved both 10,000 viewers and joined the Candy million club, dominating Lena World.

At the end of January, when Buck returned from his long-term hiatus, Mr. Young-jun’s viewer count halved. Nevertheless, the Candy sponsorships already received and the newly loyal fans did not vanish until the end of Lena World.

This is the best example of utilizing wanderers.

“We can do that too.”

Of course, to achieve that level of success, we had to work harder than now.

We need to provide immersion and fun to the wanderers.

Various ideas were necessary apart from Purge Day three-peat.

“Actually, the best way to provide immersion is through competition. Target a rival directly.”

The competitive mission can be seen as a system that maximizes that effect.

However, we mustn’t forget that Lena World is a healing server.

Excessive physical competition might actually cause us to lose the support of wandering viewers.

That kind of competition is what we have seen over and over in games like League, PUBG, and StarCraft.

“So ultimately, there is only one method left. Lena World built its reputation as a construction server for a reason. Everything has a reason behind it.”

If physical competition isn’t viable, we’ll compete in another way.

That would be presenting a colossal structure that showcases the pride of the company, the landmark!

It was about time to check my ‘gauge.’

“And starting this week, we will begin flattening work in earnest. It might get a bit boring, but since our company clearly holds the ‘1st place,’ shouldn’t we have at least a decent large building? In that sense, it seems we need to prepare the land for construction in advance.”

In Minecraft, flattening refers to the fundamental work of leveling the ground to make it easier to build.

It might sound easy, but if there are tall mountains or seas nearby, it becomes a significant undertaking involving clearing or land reclamation.

Especially flattening a large area to build a gigantic structure wouldn’t be easy.

And the higher the difficulty, the more it represents ‘justification.’

“Yes. It’s about gaining justification. And from now on, what I intend to do is…”

I sneak a glance at the current viewer count.

In fact, I posted a notice before going to bed last night.

Today V-Live Company would say, ‘Something big is coming!’

Thanks to that, I managed to attract attention, and despite the early hour, there were 3,000 viewers watching my broadcast.

“Yes. This is the weight of responsibility as the leader.”

It’s heavy; the pressure of having to accomplish something weighs down on my shoulders.

In such a large server, ordinary middle-tier streamers tend to be cautious.

What if a big company streamer enters later, and I compare poorly even after working hard? Wouldn’t I end up resenting it and feeling out of place?

Before the return, Dananyang and Limiani were in such positions.

The employees of Rissle Company and Owang Company received tremendous benefits thanks to Kim Hak-do and Wangko respectively, while Dananyang and Limiani couldn’t take care of their employees as much.

Talented and hardworking individuals were struggling just because they didn’t meet a good leader.

Dananyang and Limiani couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

One might wonder why the leader has to take care of such things, but it reflects the common ‘chief role’ culture of Pangea TV.

The leader is treated well while the streamers beneath receive benefits… it’s a sort of symbiotic relationship.

Thus, middle-tier streamers typically avoid becoming leaders and make decisions more cautiously.

However, Lena World had a somewhat special situation (no one expected that so many big company streamers would join), leading to the emergence of many leaders with lower tiers.

“To become a capable leader, one must have the duty to take care of their ‘children’ adequately.”

Our crew members.

And even Han A-yeon and Supniti worked harder in this server than anyone else.

They certainly deserved considerable rewards.

So what would that reward be?

For streamers, nothing is sweeter than Candy sponsorships!

The ability to squeeze the wallets of the viewers and shove candy into the bellies of employees who are like my children is the very skill of a leader.

“My precious kids. Just wait a little longer. Dad will make money.”

I deliberately set everything up for my broadcast today with a full tracker setup.

The six-point equipment hanging all over feels cumbersome.

But I bear with it resolutely.

This is the heart of a leader getting ready for a day’s work for the family!

I gestured for the company staff to get ready and adjusted the screen to show my avatar in full.

Then, I slowly kneeled.

I had prepared a soft cushion in anticipation of this.

Now, it’s time to start WWE.

“Brothers! From now on, I, Seoa, the head of V-Live Company, have something to say. Please listen to me!”

– Huh? What is this all of a sudden? LOL

– Kneeling suddenly? No way… is it a girlfriend thing?

– Hey, you idiot! WWE is for streamers. Why are you trying to throw moves at us?!

The reason I’m kneeling… is to gain momentum!
