Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 235

Episode 235 Vehicle Auction

Saturday, January 21.

During the already started Seollal Holiday period.

Finally, the day of the highly anticipated vehicle auction in Lena World has arrived.

In fact, this much interest had been practically announced in advance.

Wangko, Kim Hak-do, Mr. NS, Mr. Young-jun, Smap, Kkaenam, Blackfoot, Dananyang, Limiani, Suphi, etc.

From big company streamers to mid-tier streamers with viewership numbers fluctuating from two to three thousand, all were active in Lena World.

What is the total number of viewers if we combine their usual viewer counts?

Moreover, Lena World is being spotlighted as the hottest server in the first half of 2023, with an immense influx of viewers.

Lena World, boasting such popularity, is known as a healing Minecraft server.

Initially, this slogan gained immense traction.

During the peak of star power, with games like League of Legends and PUBG, viewers, who used to watch fights and chaos all day, found themselves yearning for the healing sensation without even realizing it.

Thus, the influx of viewers to the early virtual streamers of Lena World was due to this reason.

The healing emotions that could not be felt from human streamers in the fierce battlefield were present in the virtual streamers.

However, as December passed and January arrived, the viewers’ tastes changed as swiftly as flipping a hand.

What was the main objective of people watching internet broadcasts in the first place?

It was to relish the shocking and stimulating dopamine broadcasts that could not be seen on public channels due to various regulations.

The healing sensation was nice, but it would get boring quickly.

As a result, the transient viewers of Lena World began to seek dopamine and absorbed into the fandom of companies rather than individuals, desiring fierce competition.

The first to fulfill that desire was “Purge Day.”

The only day to see physical clashes in a server that promotes healing.

However, on Purge Day, to prevent genuine tension, there were rules such as returning acquired items or restrictions on building destruction which made it hard to fully enjoy dopamine.

Moreover, due to the frequent updates and the increasing workload of the management with the official broadcast schedule of Pangea TV in Lena’s Land, cases arose where the Purge Day schedule was skipped.

So, where could viewers find the dopamine they craved?

In the end, those who entrusted their egos to each company began to recharge their dopamine through “comparison” and “competition.”

– Our company is number one on the server.

– Our company is superior to those companies.

They bask in superiority by writing brag posts in the community or subtly criticizing other companies.

As the vehicle auction day approached, countless posts about the Gold Cup were uploaded by the masked figures.

With such public sentiment among fans, streamers of course had to be on fire as well.

The outcome of this vehicle auction was tied to each company’s pride!

Hence, the level of attention and interest was higher than usual, with fans also showing strong enthusiasm.

They had to secure a sports car to save face.

If not, at least a two-seater classic car!

Such heated atmosphere persisted until just 30 minutes before the auction time.

Murmur, murmur-!

Even though the start time had not arrived yet, people gathered in groups at the concert hall, the venue for today’s auction.

The members of Partner & Tofu Company brought in a large group of 13 people to secure the best central seats.

To their right, perhaps to gauge the atmosphere, Oh-ha had arrived first to secure a spot.

“Where should we sit?”

“Let’s wait a moment. The main participants haven’t arrived yet.”

Our V-Live Company also arrived relatively early.

But we didn’t sit down immediately.

To maximize auction bids through pride, it would be best for the main participants to sit nearby.

We could just watch the show from a bit of a distance, eating popcorn.

Soon after, Sunny Moon arrived and filled a seat to the left of Partner & Tofu Company.

Great, now all the main participants have arrived.

“Is this seat open? Teacher Oha.”

“Uh? Oh, yeah. We’ll have ten sitting here, so from there you can sit wherever.”

After a moment of thought, I chose a seat to the right of Owang Company.

I thought it would be easiest to provoke the passionate Wangko once the auction officially began.

Following that, the remaining members from Rissle Company and Owang Company gradually appeared and took their seats.

The Bully Gamja Company had no leader or motivation, so they automatically opted out of participation.

Now, only Akatsuki, still claiming to be a club rather than a company, remained.

“Ah, is everyone here? One, two, three, testing the mic.”

In the meantime, it became 7 PM, the start time of the auction.

Wow, with everyone gathered, there certainly seemed to be a huge crowd.

Around 60 people?

Actually, it seemed more than that, but considering the empty seats here and there, it seemed that some individuals had opted for a break to enjoy the start of the Seollal Holiday.

In fact, even in our company, Lucy and Han A-yeon applied for a break for tomorrow.

Lucy’s reason was a family visit, while Han A-yeon mentioned she had to go down to her grandmother’s house in the countryside early tomorrow morning.

Such reasons should be accepted.

So we decided to give everyone free time tomorrow.

It wouldn’t be fair for some to work while others take a break.

I, too, was planning a broadcast for the Buttpicking Viewers who were exhausted from Minecraft tomorrow.

With my birthday approaching soon, I should take care of the public sentiment ahead of time.

Ahem, am I being too transparent?

“Welcome, everyone! I sincerely welcome you to the first vehicle auction of Lena World. I am Lena Land, the server master and today’s event host.”

Wow—!

At this time, public sentiment for Lena Land was at its peak.

With the halo of server master and the fandom of a big company streamer, it was almost hard for public sentiment to be negative.

But could such a smooth environment become a poison?

One of Lena Land’s nicknames is Icarus Land.

Just like the title suggesting that flying too high would lead to a fall, he quickly found trouble.

Of course, not in the immediate future but in the story to come after.

In any case, today was truly a festive atmosphere.

“From mini tractors and two-seater classic cars to sports cars. Truly attractive vehicles are waiting here today for their rightful owners. Which company will be the protagonist of today’s vehicle auction? Personally, I’m very excited.”

“Wait! The protagonist usually appears last.”

At the exact moment Lena Land finished speaking, dark shadows entered.

The members of Akatsuki landed on one side of the concert hall, folding their wings.

“Ha! Protagonist my foot. Can’t even keep to a time promise!”

“Ugh! Seriously, did you just suddenly develop middle school disease at that age? If you keep acting like that, Mr. Young-jun, you’ll be embarrassed, so don’t pretend to know.”

“Mr. Young-jun, it’s time to grow up.”

“……”

O Young-jun looked dazed, perhaps overwhelmed by the overwhelming scolding that deviated from what he expected.

In fact, while he had pushed Wangko hard before, he was also a rather challenging person himself.

“Hehe! Those who just insulted me better be ready. We’re here to cause a ruckus today.”

“What? Cause a ruckus?”

O Young-jun boldly declared as he approached Wangko, who was frowning.

“Why? We’re the villains anyway. So let’s mess up the auction today. Everyone should spend at least 100 million Lena.”

“……!”

Everyone flinched at the bold sum released by O Young-jun, exchanging glances nervously.

Is that really true? Does Akatsuki have 100 million Lena?

With Akatsuki, who they hadn’t even considered a competitor, suddenly joining the scene, the heads of each company, who had come prepared with their own strategies, quickly exchanged looks.

‘100 million Lena? What’s that? Even 30 million Lena feels tight. There may be variables of regression, but at most it will be less than 50 million Lena.’

As I often say, in Lena World, sheer numbers are everything.

No matter how skilled Akatsuki is, they can never exceed their limit of three members.

‘Even with Na-roshi, three isn’t enough. Maybe this is why Mu-yo used X-ray for this event?’

Before regression, Akatsuki was already struggling to craft a story of their own for the vehicle auction.

But regardless, to participate in the auction, some minimal funds are necessary.

However, O Young-jun, who was busy crafting stories rather than earning money through labor, could barely scrape together more than 10 million Lena.

At that moment, Mu-yo pulled out 15 million Lena.

This was to help his participation in this vehicle auction.

“Mu-yo! You really are the best. You’re amazing.”

O Young-jun shed tears of joy, and the atmosphere became lively, proclaiming that Akatsuki was indeed driven by Mu-yo.

But the problem was that the members of Akatsuki were too oblivious to reality.

The mere 20 or 30 million Lena wouldn’t even earn them a business card at this vehicle auction.

O Young-jun was bluffing with his nose in the air, but I could clearly see his anxious inner thoughts.

“Quiet! If you’re late, hurry and take your seats.”

Lena Land, interrupted in the flow, pointed to an empty corner seat with a frown.

The Akatsuki group shrugged and played it cool as they headed for their own seats.

At last, all the companies participating in today’s vehicle auction were gathered.

A fierce battle of glances passed between them, eyeing each other closely.

“Alright, then let’s officially start. I’d like to introduce our first vehicle. It’s a mini tractor! Who will be the owner of this cute little blue vehicle? I will open the bid!”

Wow—!

With loud cheers, the auction begins.
