Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 196
Chapter 196: Seeds
Friday, January 6th.
With just one day left until the 3rd Purge Day, shocking news spread throughout Lena World.
The long-awaited ‘Casino’ for the streamers has opened.
No matter how healing the server is, and how comforting the calm feeling is after a long time, there must be something to collect dopamine.
The existence of the casino is like a refreshing rain amid a drought, the light and salt that everyone has longed for.
Murmur, murmur-!
The Beginning Village, where streamers have gathered after a long time.
Both the streamer who had been building all day and the one who was just mining underground like a mole came together here.
After all, who really wants to just labor all day?
Whether in reality or in games, in a world where everything is possible with money, why not?
Building? If you have money, you can hire architecture personnel from other companies at a generous labor cost and have them do it for you.
Mining? Would they really mine just because they like diamonds? No, they’re holed up underground all day because it turns into money.
In the end, all actions in Lena World are connected to ‘money.’
But what if they could hit it big in the casino that opens today!?
For the time being, it would be the end of hardship, and a happy life would begin!
… This is the superficial reason. In fact, with new content released, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it disqualifies someone from being a streamer if they don’t show their face.
Of course, the viewers cannot hold back their curiosity, and devoted fans will likely turn on multi-view to check out the new content.
Lena’s Land, looking down from the sky at those streamers, seems quite satisfied.
It’s understandable since all of Lena’s Land’s interest is focused on depleting the resources held by streamers to raise the connection rate of the server.
A mindset that they can do anything for the server.
In fact, Lena’s Land must have caught wind of the rumors too.
Yuseona’s Suna Land, which subtly threw down a challenge in the Minecraft realm that was once a barren land.
Lena World can’t afford to be complacent because it’s doing well.
The landscape can turn upside down overnight in the streaming community.
It goes without saying that they must continue to add new content quickly and keep a close eye on the actions of big company streamers who haven’t yet settled on a server.
Lena’s Land [Thank you to all the gentlemen and ladies who have joined us for the grand opening ceremony of the Lena World Casino today. Inside, we have up-down games, roulette, slot machines, and more prepared. According to Pangea TV, when enjoying games inside the casino, the broadcast settings must be set to allow viewers aged 19 and over only. Additionally, since betting is done using Gold and Silver Lena, you will need to exchange currency in advance…]
“Wow! The explanation is too long. This isn’t a principal’s address.”
“We don’t need an explanation; just open the casino for us! Open it!”
Kim Hak-do and Wangko… with both big company streamers taking the lead, even the mighty Lena’s Land cannot handle it.
Lena’s Land [Understood, if you have questions, there are NPCs in the casino, so click on them to learn the game rules. If any bugs occur, please call the operator. Now, everyone, have fun!]
As Lena’s Land finishes the explanation, the moment the signal drops, the streamers start running madly toward the casino.
However, there were two groups that were taking a different approach.
They were none other than Akatsuki and our V-Live.
“…….”
The sharp gazes between the competitors intertwined fiercely.
***
Before the regression, Akatsuki quickly planned a content titled ‘Shinwamuni’ coinciding with the casino opening.
They parodied the loan company ‘Sanwamoney’ and incorporated Mr. Young-jun’s nickname ‘Shin’ and Mu-yo’s initial ‘Mu’ to create the Shinwamuni content.
The core of the plan was simple.
To lend money to streamers who had lost all their money at the casino, earning profit from interest while also capturing the broadcast angle effectively.
Dressed in character skins resembling employees of a loan company in front of the Akatsuki Shrine, dancing to a cheerful trot song was enough to immerse the viewers.
But there was one problem: unlike before the regression, there was now a strong competitor.
It was our V-Live Company.
“Hello, we will kindly serve you. V-Money is always by our customers’ side.”
While Mr. Young-jun and Mu-yo approached cheerfully, swaying their shoulders to the beat, we were already waiting in two lines at the entrance of the casino, dressed in suits.
And every time customers passed in and out, we politely greeted them and delivered our lines.
This class was not comparable to Akatsuki casually strolling in to do business.
Moreover, our financial backing and recognition are unmatched.
The history of V-Live Company’s loan business dates back to the beginnings of Lena World, a traditional enterprise!
Every resident of Lena World has likely heard of our notoriety at least once.
Though the two members of Akatsuki busily moved around inside the casino trying to do business, I paired each of them with Miho and Supniti to block their attempts completely.
“Hello, we come from Shinwamuni. Oh, it looks like you lost all your money. This time we have a very affordable long-term loan product. Let’s go to a quiet place for a consultation…”
“I love you, customer. We are V-Money, a loan company officially certified by the Lena Government. We offer lower interest rates than any company in the country, so can we trust you with this?”
“…….”
The overwhelming gap in financial power nullifies the competition itself.
Time and again they challenged for the broadcast angle, but only the difference between a big company and a small company seeped into their bones, leaving them in despair.
In the end, Mr. Young-jun approached me looking quite sulky.
It wasn’t a bad scene.
After all, I had a suggestion to bring up with Mr. Young-jun.
“Hey, Seoa. Regardless, let’s conduct our business while upholding some business ethics. Okay? We initiated the conversation, and it would be problematic if you suddenly snatched customers away.”
“Shh! Uncle Young-jun. Let’s talk about our ‘big business’ instead of such trivial matters. Okay? Until when are you going to play small like this, Leader of the Great Akatsuki?”
“…….”
He looked speechless, as if he never imagined someone would say that to him.
However, I cannot speak too directly here.
The combined viewership of Mr. Young-jun and me alone exceeds 6,000.
To capture an entertaining broadcast angle, sometimes ‘security’ must be strictly observed, and the damned cuckoo lacks any awareness and flies away regardless of how much I warn it.
So it would be appropriate to simply give a hint and conduct the important discussion behind the scenes where the viewers wouldn’t hear.
‘It would be great if this backstory could also capture a broadcast angle, but more importantly, it’s essential that the cuckoo doesn’t fly away.’
In any case, it seemed Mr. Young-jun was intrigued by my mention of ‘big business.’
He followed without any further protests out of the casino.
Before long, we both moved to a deserted area.
With Mr. Young-jun urging me with an intense gaze, I spoke in a low voice.
“I don’t know much about it, but I’ve heard that Akatsuki is a group of criminals in anime. Is that right?”
The notorious criminal organization Akatsuki from the popular anime ‘Naruto.’
Of course, in Lena World, they are regarded more as a mischievous group than the most notorious criminals, but there’s no doubt that being the ultimate strongest ‘villain’ is an attractive character trait.
“Yeah, that’s right. Akatsuki is a cool villain that shakes the world view.”
“Well then, shouldn’t they live up to that name? They shouldn’t just end as a troublesome group in Lena World.”
“…….”
Mr. Young-jun probably doesn’t fully grasp what I’m saying.
Yet, he would have at least a rough idea.
My intent in creating this atmosphere is to propose a truly ‘big business,’ just as I mentioned earlier.
“Alright, let’s hear it.”
“Tomorrow is the 3rd Purge Day, right? And Owang Company is confidently poised to win.”
In the community, many were certain that Owang Company would win.
We followed closely behind in second place, but with the specs being equal, the prevailing opinion was that it would be difficult.
With only three members and Su-sun still working on the final equipment set alone, Akatsuki had no chance of even being nominated.
“Are you saying that…?”
“Should we discuss this important matter on Discord?”
“Sure.”
The seeds for tomorrow have been sown.
