Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 237

Chapter 237: The Leader of the Auction

There was no company that desired a mini tractor in such a chaotic situation.

Right before my eyes, Akatsuki’s Mr. Young-jun was humiliated.

However, from the perspective of Mr. Lena’s Land, it was essential to auction off the vehicle somehow.

That way, she could recover the excess funds that the streamers, whom she always prioritized, had.

“So, Seoa, how about you bring it back with the last bid of 70 million Lena? That seems just right.”

“Huh? No way! To be precise, Akatsuki doesn’t even have 30 million Lena in total assets, right? That amount they raised through bluffing was not attainable without it being 30 million Lena!”

“But if we put it that way, Sunny Moon also called out up to 35 million Lena. 30 million Lena is really unacceptable.”

Ultimately, the content I had led to came out.

I clapped my hands as if I had just realized something.

“Aha! Then we can settle for 40 million Lena. Akatsuki’s offered amount was a scam in the first place, and that makes Sunny Moon’s 35 million Lena the highest bid. This makes sense, right?”

“…….”

Mr. Lena’s expression frowned.

Since the goal was to recover the residents’ funds as much as possible, the unexpectedly low price had irked her.

But since she had acknowledged it and it was hard to find loopholes in my logic, she had no choice but to concede.

A moment later, I could confirm Mr. Lena’s slightly nodding gesture, as if declaring her surrender.

“Here’s 40 million Lena. Thank you for the great vehicle!”

“…… Seoa, you’re a bit annoying today?”

“Hehe! We have a family to consider, so we should save as much as we can when we can.”

I paid the amount through the piles of gold Lena in my inventory and received the vehicle registration from the operator beside me.

The mini tractor was scheduled to be delivered after all the auctions ended.

Everything went according to plan!

I was able to secure the mini tractor at a surprisingly low price.

If Akatsuki hadn’t interfered and caused a stir, it would have likely reached around 50 million Lena from Sunny Moon or elsewhere.

Perhaps it could have even gone up to 60 million Lena.

However, Mr. Young-jun’s over-the-top antics raised the price rapidly, causing everyone to shake their heads and back out.

Thus, we could snatch up the mini tractor for the cheap price of 40 million Lena.

‘Thanks to that, I still have 160 million Lena in spare funds. If I use this well…’

To be honest, I had enough funds to win another vehicle.

But as they say, excess is as bad as deficiency.

Remember the original goal.

While the special abilities of the two vehicles were attractive, they were not seen as essential.

If put in material terms, they would be a clear ‘luxury item.’

Moreover, with each company’s pride riding on the auction, prices much higher than their original value were to be expected.

Unless it was a vehicle like the mini tractor that would help make money in the future, there was no reason to spend excessive amounts on luxury items.

‘Anyway, owning at least one vehicle would fulfill the pride of being a vehicle-holding company. From there, profit is guaranteed.’

If the special ability vehicles were luxuries, the mythic equipment from the End content that would appear later could be almost rated as necessities.

When each company engages in armed conflict in the arena content that replaces Purge Day, the company with a lot of mythic equipment has a dramatically higher chance of winning.

Moreover, the prize money for the arena content was enormous.

What if they continued to challenge for additional mythic equipment based on that prize money?

It would truly be a case of money begetting money.

‘So, I need to make other companies exhaust as much money as possible in the vehicle auction.’

It felt very disappointing that only two vehicles remained.

There were three potential targets: Owang Company, Partner & Tofu Company, and Sunny Moon.

‘Still, it would be better to target Owang Company and Partner & Tofu Company. Sunny Moon is relatively weak in comparison to the previous two companies.’

In the end, Lena World was bound to shape itself into a structure of Owang Company vs. MuYang Group in the latter half.

The leaders of the two companies were of considerable size and had played Minecraft with the most enthusiasm.

The NS Mr. NS, along with the Kim Hak-do or Sunny Group, faced an insurmountable difference in access time to Lena World.

“Then let’s begin the second vehicle auction right away. This time, it’s a two-seater classic car. Imagine it! The car’s scarlet body and this modern design. And who drives these days anyway? In the front, a loyal secretary is driving while the leader comfortably sits behind, moving smoothly to the destination. Plus, even if they forgot and go somewhere else, there’s no problem at all; the vehicle has the ability to be summoned from anywhere. Moreover, it’s possible to safely store valuables in the trunk! How does it feel to become the owner of this vehicle?”

Bang, bang-!

Once again, as soon as Mr. Lena’s explanation ended, the operator drove the car, swiftly passing in front of the seats.

The sleek body of the much longer car and its faster speed, along with stable cornering.

The eyes of the leaders of each company began to gleam.

It wasn’t merely because of the vehicle’s special abilities.

Most importantly, each company had their ‘pride’ on the line in this auction.

The excitement of Purge Day was gradually cooling down, and showing off with a large construction required a long construction period, which was too much.

In the end, to win the hearts of the fans, a dopamine avenue needed to be provided, with the most popularity coming from competition with other companies.

Defeating opponents and proving our superiority.

What more exhilarating proposition could there be?

Thus, today’s vehicle auction was drawing attention.

A stage for a showdown of pride over each company’s ‘financial power’!

Moreover, since Mr. Lena mentioned that this vehicle auction could be the last, if they failed to purchase a vehicle this time, they might be remembered as a company without vehicles until Lena World ends.

The boiling sentiments of the fans.

Naturally, the streamers couldn’t ignore it.

They had to win the vehicle auction at all costs.

The Bully Gamja Company had been eliminated in advance, and it was revealed that Rissle Company and Akatsuki were broke, while V-Live Company had already spent a large sum.

Thus, the remaining competitors were Owang Company, Partner & Tofu Company, and Sunny Moon, forming a triad!

Sharp glares exchanged between Owang Company on the left and Sunny Moon on the right, centered around Partner & Tofu Company.

“The auction price for the two-seater classic car starts at 30 million Lena! Now! Let’s hear those bids enthusiastically!”

In an effort to make up for the low bid on the mini tractor, Mr. Lena was passionately overseeing the auction.

“…….”

However, everyone was hesitant to raise their hands as they watched each other closely.

Surely, the minds of the three company leaders must be incredibly complicated right now.

If only they knew how much everyone had, they could place their bids confidently, but everything remained thoroughly hidden.

‘I want to go all in on the last sports car but must also consider the possibility that other companies have more money. So, I can’t easily give up on the two-seater classic car.’

The crowning glory of this vehicle auction was unquestionably the sports car that would be revealed last.

However, no one could be certain who would emerge as the final victor.

Thus, the leaders also felt the need to have at least some safety measure.

If they could secure the two-seater classic car at a low price, that would be ideal!

But if that’s impossible, they needed to raise the price as much as possible to push it onto a competing company.

This way, they could ensure the removal of one competitor.

It was much like a bomb passing game often seen on variety shows.

“30 million Lena! A very low price, but is there really no one? Huh? This, this shouldn’t be happening.”

“…….”

The onlookers seemed to be bored with how hesitantly these individuals were.

So, I raised my hand subtly to urge them along.

I had even brought popcorn; there was no need to play it cool.

“V-Live Company offers 30 million Lena. It seems everyone wants a sports car, so can we take the concession?”

“Sunny Moon 35 million Lena!”

“Not a chance, Owang Company 40 million Lena!”

It seemed my ignition had worked, with bids starting to rise from all corners.

Yes, this is how an auction should be.

Partner & Tofu Company called out 45 million Lena, followed by Owang Company bidding 50 million Lena; a momentary silence ensued.

Everyone was likely pondering hard right about now.

What if they called out a slightly higher bid, but the opponent backed out?

Then the sports car would finish like this!

Should they settle for having won the two-seater classic car at a low price instead?

But considering the fans’ sentiments, bringing in the sports car was the priority, wasn’t it?

I decided to lessen the leaders’ burdens of concern.

No, this bid was far too low.

They needed to fight more fiercely.

“V-Live Company bids 60 million Lena. Isn’t everyone being a bit too timid?”

“……!”

Everyone would slowly start to realize.

It was clear that it was our V-Live Company leading today’s auction.

In the presence of thousands of viewers watching.

I was truly the ‘protagonist.’
