Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 213
Episode 213 Landmark Meeting
– Dozuni Castle, Hanok Village, Snow Globe, Whale Island, Hannan Mountain.
It is a given that a company, especially a large one, boasts impressive architectural landmarks.
In the case of Bully Gamja, they built a racing circuit to enjoy motorsports before the regression, but now, thanks to an early MI◯T downturn, they were half a ghost company.
So, ultimately, what remains is our V-Live Company.
What architectural landmark can we boast about?
V-City? A large underground farm? Neatly arranged modern houses?
Unfortunately, none of these applied.
There was a reason why Rissle Company, still in debt of over 30 million Lena, held its head high.
It’s not just that they are under Big Company Streamer Kim Hak-do; they take pride in possessing the most magnificent and beautiful Dozuni Castle on the server.
Fandoms, of course, need such brag-worthy landmarks for their morale.
In that respect, our V-Live Company has operated on the drive of winning Purge Day three times… that is, a three-peat.
Indeed, this achievement was impressive.
Currently, it is the only honor our company exclusively holds on the server.
Yet, compared to ever-visible and everlasting large architectural structures, the title of Purge Day victory felt volatile.
The moment we lose a victory even once, skepticism about V-Live Company’s winning will rise, making it increasingly harder to win again.
In fact, we have less confidence in future wins.
Thus, now is the ‘right time’.
A declaration of the construction of a super-large landmark that surpasses large architectural structures!
And we will be the first on the server.
This one move could compensate for the honor of a Purge Day winner.
– Landmark? What on earth is that?
– I searched and it refers to unique geographical features or landmarks that can represent a region. We can think of famous structures like the Eiffel Tower or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Great Wall of China, or the Taj Mahal.
– So, Dozuni Castle or Hanok Village, and Hannan Mountain could also be landmarks, right?
– When you think about it, yes, but they don’t exactly meet the “level” expected, do they? Especially Hannan Mountain, which is just big and a bit of an eyesore.
– Hey! Calling what Young-jun built after 30 hours of no sleep an eyesore is too much!ㅠㅠ
“I’m not trying to disregard the existing large architectural structures. However, I must reiterate that the landmark we are planning this time, in terms of scale, splendour, and architectural difficulty, is objectively on a different dimension than the existing buildings in Lena World.”
Once again, the excitement of fans is amplified.
It stimulates elements where they can feel superior compared to other companies.
Oh? The company I mainly see in Lena World ranks first in Purge Day, has ample funds, and also ranks first in server architecture?
Naturally, fan loyalty will rise, and the number of people wanting to settle in our company will increase.
There’s a reason why nationalism on YouTube is trending.
Fundamentally, the key is to make them feel a sense of ‘superiority’.
“I will now show you the evidence. Our staff have each devised wonderful landmark plans. So, who will present first?”
Starting strong is crucial here.
This moment will determine whether the inflated expectations, built up with all sorts of embellishment, ride a wave of success or crash down.
There was a moment of hesitation as everyone faced this tension.
Luckily, before the silence dragged on, someone raised their hand.
“I’ll do it!”
It was our ever-dedicated faux-youngest, Han A-yeon.
Huh? Why faux-youngest, you ask? Because the real youngest, Mayo, behaves as if she’s the older sister.
So, in comparison, Han A-yeon kind of gives off a cuteness that feels like the youngest.
“Hmph! Mayo is 214465456 times cuter.”
Ignoring local broadcast standards, Han A-yeon dives into her presentation.
“Then let’s get started.”
With a well-prepared PowerPoint.
Did she prepare her avatar and outfit in advance for today? She looked very intellectual in an office lady look.
Gingerly adjusting her glasses, Han A-yeon waved her baton as the first slide of the PowerPoint appeared.
“The landmark I propose is ‘Bikini City’. You all know SpongeBob SquarePants, right?”
“Yeeees!”
“That’s right. I took that as a motif. To be precise, I’m thinking of an ‘underwater city’.”
“An underwater city!?”
“Yes! Everyone, close your eyes and imagine. Picture yourselves strolling through beautiful seas and living there. You think it’s impossible? No, YouTube knows the answer.”
The next page of the PowerPoint had a video waiting to be played.
As Han A-yeon clicked, the video began to play, showcasing the fantastically illuminated underwater scenery she had just described and a Minecraft character building within it.
A well-known YouTuber specializing in Minecraft architecture was at the helm.
It began with land reclamation.
First, massive walls were erected, then using the ‘sponge’ item obtainable from the Sea God Temple, they drained the water inside.
Following that, again using see-through glass, a massive dome structure was erected, where with various skills, a magnificent building was crafted.
Roads and surrounding buildings were all enclosed with see-through glass corridors within a designated range.
Thus, while living underwater, the beautiful surrounding scenery can be appreciated.
Once the interior is fully complete, the walls are knocked down for the glass structure to sink beneath the water.
This completes the underwater city!
While it sounds easy in words, it is actually a process requiring immense calculations and effort.
Building was demanding too, but if there was even a slight mistake, water could overflow in the area where people are supposed to walk!
It was a high-caliber landmark requiring precise calculations.
“This was Ayeon’s underwater city ‘Bikini City’. Please give her a round of applause.”
Clap, clap, clap-!
A good idea right from the start.
A few words of praise were exchanged before moving to the next presenter.
Since the final results will be determined by voting anyway, there’s no need for discussion this early.
There are still many presentations left to go.
“For the second one, how about Mayo? She was quite confident yesterday.”
“If you wish so eagerly, Mayo will take the second spot. Everyone, I will be presenting my broadcast.”
Everyone hurriedly flocked to Mayo’s broadcast.
“This is the landmark ‘Summoner’s Rift’ which can raise everyone’s tier by 2-3 levels just by constructing it!”
A ‘Dudung!’ special effect resounded around Mayo.
Such was her exuberant demeanor.
Mayo swiftly transitioned to the PowerPoint and played a video showcasing the creation of Summoner’s Rift on YouTube, pausing at intervals to explain the details of the lane positions and objects, which frustrated those around her greatly.
Oh my! Such a true League of Legends girl.
Mayo’s attitude is overwhelmingly annoying, yet Summoner’s Rift is actually a landmark with considerable merits.
First and foremost, it has high recognition.
After all, among viewers of the broadcast, at least half have likely played League of Legends before.
Therefore, there are many aspects they can relate to about Summoner’s Rift.
‘Just having high recognition allows them to gain a foothold.’
That’s probably why the first presenter, Han A-yeon, casually mentioned ‘Bikini City.’
This way, viewers can easily form mental images in their heads.
“Alright, we’ve heard Mayo’s presentation well. Please give her applause.”
Clap, clap, clap-!
“Ahem! Everyone, praise me more! Once Summoner’s Rift is built, everyone will be able to escape the bronze ranks.”
No, does she think this structure is like a religious totem or an item with a buff effect?
But the funny thing is there were viewers who were intrigued.
– For real, if that gets built, I think I can make it to emerald this season.
– But seeing it in the video really feels like the Rift; the details are amazing.
– However, it’s a bit ridiculous that the Elder Dragon and Baron appear right from the start. Can’t it be made to only appear at certain times?
“….”
A fantastic collaboration of League of Legends guys and girls.
Quickly, I moved on to the next presenter.
“Finally, it’s my turn. The landmark I propose is…”
Supniti had brought the Roman Colosseum.
A magnificent shape that feels grand just by looking at it.
A massive circular lake surrounded the Colosseum, adding to the beauty of nature.
However, compared to the earlier landmark candidates, it was indeed a bit lacking in scale and other aspects.
Supniti tried to overcome this with content elements.
“What’s the Colosseum for? Right? We can hold our own server competition here. Determine the ultimate 1:1 champion. Or you could face off in a 3:3 team battle.”
That was definitely a good idea.
People are always obsessed with the epithet of ‘the strongest’.
If we host a tournament with a prize, it would generate buzz and further elevate our company’s recognition.
‘But this is troublesome. The imagery overlaps too much.’
Soon, Mr. Lena would eliminate Purge Day and open a ‘Arena’ similar to Supniti’s idea.
At this point, there’s no need to build a landmark that would unnecessarily provoke Mr. Lena.
Regrettably, in my heart, the Roman Colosseum would be disqualified.
“Then the next order….”
“Seoa, I’ll go.”
Lucy, raising her hand cautiously.
She was the fourth presenter of today’s meeting.
