Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 215

Episode 215: The Leader Struggles

The results are in.

Sky Island captures 31.4% and the Rome Colosseum takes 25.2%, clinching the 1st and 2nd spots in the viewer vote.

Ultimately, the highly anticipated overall 1st place goes to Lucy’s idea, Sky Island Skypia.

“The V-Live Company’s landmark construction plan adopts the idea of sister Lucy! We have decided to build Sky Island Skypia!”

“Wow!”

It’s a moment of emotion.

To see so many people here and witness Lucy’s achievement.

“Every time Lucy does well, I get choked up. It’s suspicious.”

“Here comes Mayo, who has been ugly and self-deprecating after being eliminated!”

“……”

Leaving behind the sulking Mayo, I stepped forward towards the viewers.

The most important order is still pending.

“Dear viewers! The voting result has chosen Sky Island Skypia. However, one important decision remains: the funding schedule for the construction of Sky Island Skypia. This funding will be conducted for the first time as a ‘competition mission.’ As the number one company, we will prepare diligently.”

– What?! A competition for construction funding?

– That’s not the first time; there have been competitions for materials for funding.

– Isn’t it meant that it’s the first time doing it in a formal manner, not just casually?

– Daeseoa is lurking, eyeing the viewers’ wallets.

“Now, viewers, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not just asking for mindless funding. Remember the high-speed (water) elevator used to enter Sky Island? When you arrive at Sky Island Skypia and the door opens in front of you, right there! We will create a file with the names of viewers who contribute over 1,000 funds and have it framed as an image.”

“Wow!”

“Wait, are our nicknames going to be framed in a place that everyone can see when they visit Sky Island Skypia? I can’t not fund after hearing this!”

Han A-yeon supported from the back in a tone like reading a textbook.

Ahem! This might actually have the opposite effect.

But the vanity of the big spenders knows no bounds.

I threw out another line to stimulate them.

“To the top three funders on that day, we will produce gold, silver, and bronze statues to express our gratitude, placed prominently. And this isn’t the end.”

“Wait! There’s more?!”

“…As previously mentioned, our entire company will prepare many spectacles for that day. Please come and enjoy it, and if you like it, a small donation saying ‘You worked hard’ would be appreciated.”

“It’s saying to come see what we have prepared.”

“If you guys don’t come, you’ll know, right?”

“All the guys who drink with me at dawn must surely attend.”

“So, I ask for your cooperation!”

“And the most important landmark construction funding date will be on the 15th.”

Originally, I wanted to give viewers a two-week notice to prepare properly, but it occurred to me that it would fall during the Seollal Holiday.

If we are not careful, everyone might head home, and the viewer count on the day could drop significantly.

So I had to move it up by a week.

– Oh? I have plans on Sunday… should I cancel?

– Would Saturday work instead? That day is more convenient.

– Phew~ Thank goodness; I’ve been busy on weekends, so that’s the only day I’m free!

The moment I announced the date, there was a bit of confusion in the chat room, but it couldn’t be helped.

I can’t cater to every viewer’s schedule.

If I adjust the date, naturally, some who find it inconvenient will emerge.

That’s a part we have to accept.

“Then once again, thank you for your support. We hope for your great interest on that day with V-Live Company!”

*Bow!*

We all bowed politely.

I wonder how much this fervent desire and effort got across to the viewers.

The number of viewers on the funding day will give a rough measure.

Nevertheless, everyone really prepared hard.

Especially visible is Lucy’s growth.

I looked at Lucy’s Minecraft character with warm eyes.

***

While we were preparing for a big event, there was significant movement elsewhere.

Could it be that Yuseona’s recent actions have stirred something?

Mr. Lena contacted me energetically despite it being late afternoon.

Have I really become an emotional trash can?

But if I can obtain useful information, I would willingly play that role!

“That person is really petty, right? How can they do something so maliciously obvious!”

“P, please calm down. Come down, please.”

The target of Mr. Lena, who is overly excited, is too obvious.

Yuseona, who is preparing to face off against Lena World with Suna Land, is obviously getting on Mr. Lena’s nerves.

“She publicized it right in front of everyone? Jamst and Sayo are going to play Suna Land. What a laughable woman!”

“Hahaha…”

If I nod along here, later, if excited Mr. Lena says that Seo-a said the same thing, it’ll be a big deal.

So I vague and half-heartedly mumble.

“Hey! But in Lena World, there are Mr. Kim Hak-do and Mr. Wangko. There are also many mid-level streamers and Mr. NS.”

“Right? Plus, the users have already immersed themselves in our server, and look at Suna Land opening late and trying to promote. I’ve heard rumors they’re contacting everywhere to bring people to their server.”

It seems like the desperation from not being able to use their long-standing connections is really eating at them.

It’s true that Jamst and Sayo present considerable stature.

Moreover, it’s said that StarCraft streamers are showing interest too.

Even though there’s a Tteuldak image there, it’s a place full of capable streamers with great candy power.

If they manage to recruit even a few renowned names, there’s a real chance the tide could change.

‘Of course, that would require Buck Minam Park Bong-sik to join.’

Since the flow of casual viewers is already heading toward Lena World, it would be nearly impossible to reverse it.

At least, a major company streamer would need to join for the narrative to twist.

‘But will that happen? The hearts of the Mu-jeossi are already leaning towards Lena World. Plus, even though Yuseona claims to have a connection with Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, there are many closer contacts here.’

The duo who can be called its right and left arms, Dananyang and Limiani, have already rooted in Lena World and wait expectantly for their boss multiple times a day.

Buck Minam Park Bong-sik is, unbeknownst to him, already on a leash.

I slowly explained this part for Mr. Lena to understand.

“Yeah, there’s Bong-sik. Once the break is over and he returns, he will be a great asset to our Lena World. In that case, I should tell Dananyang and Limiani to casually mention it and send a KakaoTalk beforehand…”

“Oh dear, rushing like that will have the opposite effect.”

Why is this person so impatient?

It seems that Yuseona and the existence of Suna Land are constantly getting on his nerves.

It’s true that they dominate the market, so if a latecomer suddenly appears and chases them from behind, it would be irritating.

But at times like this, one should maintain composure and make calm judgments.

‘But it’s not like I’m in a close enough relationship with Mr. Lena to worry about this.’

Let’s just say we’re at best business partners.

So I just half-heartedly supported him.

But suddenly, I felt an unusual atmosphere.

I inwardly cheered.

It’s finally here!

“I think we need to announce it soon. I originally planned to prepare a bit more.”

“What announcement are you talking about?”

“There was the casino recently, but it only sparkled at the beginning. The rate of depletion of resources is faster than I thought.”

That was to be expected.

No matter how much fun casinos have, if streamers keep showing the same picture, viewers will naturally become dissatisfied.

Thus, the usage rate of the casino will inevitably drop.

And always keen on depleting the resources of Lena World to boost the residents’ connection rates, Mr. Lena was planning new content.

It’s none other than the vehicle auction, which had been a hot topic among the residents even before the time loop.

“Wow! A vehicle auction? I’m so excited and it sounds so fun!”

“… Seo-a, isn’t your reaction too mechanical?”

I expressed my surprise at the fact I had no idea about, but it seems I overdid it.

Right, the vehicle auction content was indeed about to emerge.

However, I know how this content will end.

Despite grand plans for a second and third vehicle auction, it ultimately ends up being a one-off event.

‘To be honest, everyone is at a stage where they can afford at least one pair of wings. Will they invest several tens of millions of Lena into a vehicle that is slower than wings? After all the hard work they put into earning Lena?’

Before the regression, vehicle auction content thrived due to the pride of each company, but when the practical usability of the vehicles came into question, the companies that had bought them for hefty sums were mocked for being fools.

That’s how Mr. Lena’s long-term strategy fell apart.

There are no companies left participating fervently in vehicle auctions anymore.

‘But now, it’s different. The vehicle auction is a great opportunity for our financially strong company to shine. However, to avoid becoming a laughingstock like before…’

This is advantageous for both me and Mr. Lena… it truly is a win-win situation.

So I cautiously offered my advice.

The auction is good, but since everyone has wings, a vehicle with just mobility will lose a lot of its merit.

It needs to have some special ability for the auction content to succeed long-term.

“Hmm, is that so? It has a cool appearance for boasting and a rarity since only a few have it!”

“….”

Still lacking in reality assessment abilities, Mr. Lena seems to be repeating the same mistakes as before.

Thinking it a shame to miss this opportunity, I decided to be a bit more proactive than usual in my advice.

Then Mr. Lena nodded and displayed a more receptive reaction.

“Okay. It’s true that Seo-a has good intuition, so I won’t say anything unnecessary. I’ll talk to the management team again.”

“Then have you set the date for the vehicle auction?”

“It’s not confirmed, but I’m thinking of the 21st. The 22nd is Seollal, so it’s a bit tricky.”

“Oh, I see. No matter what date you decide, I will definitely participate.”

After that, Mr. Lena’s stress relief time returned once again.

Still, it wasn’t as tormenting as before.

Thanks to that, I gained good information ahead of others.

Phew! Kids (company staff), the leader struggles like this.

It was a somewhat happy ending.
