Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 24

Episode 24, Are We Losing?

The streaming community is a wild jungle.

Every day, unexpected events can occur.

A big company streamer might collapse in one moment due to incidents, while a small streamer with only about ten viewers can suddenly grow into a mid-tier streamer by seizing an opportunity.

Recently, the two hottest topics in the streaming community are the virtual idol audition hosted by Sayoh and the Lena Universe.

The terrifying impact is shaking Pangea TV.

Among these, it was reported that details about the audition would be announced on the 6th.

The competition is already fierce.

Everyone knows about the mega-success of the virtual idol on LebitTV, so expectations are running high.

There’s a possibility that I could also make it big…

Based on this news, virtual streamers migrating into the community are increasing day by day.

This was not good news for me.

It meant that potential competitors were rising.

The only silver lining is that as this information spreads, a few viewers from LebitTV are also trickling in.

These viewers, being fans of virtual content, had the potential to become my audience.

“Speaking of which, I didn’t realize it when just hearing about it, but this is no joke.”

The momentum of the Lena Universe is formidable.

When Lucy transferred to Pangea TV, the issues that arose caused her presence to deflate like a punctured balloon, but seeing the early stages of the virtual boom, it’s a whole different story.

– Did anyone watch Yume’s broadcast today?

Seriously, I’ve never seen a female streamer articulate so well.

Out of nowhere, she brought out a table and I thought she was really crazy, haha.

I once again felt that talent is what makes a stream.

Her persuasive skills are no joke, haha. She received over 50,000 donations in just one day for how naturally she led the conversation.

I can really see the qualities of a real star here.

I definitely remembered her nickname.

She failed to join the million club but, within just over two weeks, she received 800,000 Candy donations, marking herself as the first candidate for a superstar.

However, she later became the center of controversy and took a long hiatus due to her poor mental state.

She did make a comeback, but a lot of time has passed, and she’s not the same as before.

The short-term impact was the best, and I saw the old forum members reminiscing about her past glory, but revisiting that period became a peculiar feeling.

Am I becoming one of those nostalgic members now?

“Come to think of it, it feels like it’s about time for a dedicated forum for this.”

A myriad of thoughts crossed my mind.

Is Joo-Ddak still around?

And if Joo-Ddak has divine power, should I demand that everything be returned to its original state?

“No, absolutely not. I’m planning to change everything.”

A future where my favorite has quit streaming.

And my own powerless self who couldn’t do anything.

I never wanted to face such despair again.

“Yeah. That’s why I need to work harder. So that future can be completely changed.”

Every day, I give my best to all broadcasts.

I will rewrite history once again.

***

October 3rd, National Foundation Day, is a public holiday.

Of course, such rules do not apply to streamers.

So I streamed diligently yesterday as well.

What do I want to say?

It means that I deserve a reward for working hard even on a public holiday.

And the reward I am waiting for is incredibly sweet.

[It’s the time of the heroes and heroines who manipulate Pangea TV. Bring forth Candy and recommendations!]

#Virtual #Stock #Newbie #Talk

Today’s broadcast began at 8:30 AM.

Since I had announced it in advance, there was no confusion, despite the sudden morning broadcast.

And viewers drawn in by the title began to gather.

– Isn’t this person down 4% already after spending 15 million won on debut day?

– This title is hilarious; isn’t this a meme from Miju gallery? Haha.

– Does Pangea stock really have any chance to soar? It’s been stable after dropping and feels like rock bottom.

– If it drops 2-3% more today, I will have legendary broadcast material.

Early morning hours are often empty.

Thanks to that, many floating viewers came in, and for the first time in a while, the viewer count broke 4,000.

The waiting screen transitioned, and a program linked to my stock account appeared before viewers.

Pangea TV -705,000 won

Cash 234 stocks (-4.7%)

A clear account that proves my losses.

Considering my overly confident title, it was enough to earn mockery from the viewers.

“Nobody knows this is part of my strategy.”

I feigned humility.

Today’s outfit was an office lady look I’d shown before.

To look intellectual, I even got glasses as props.

It may seem trivial, but adding even one prop costs money.

It’s already tight since my account is in the red.

So I needed to make sure today’s broadcast would be a hit.

“Everyone, Seo-ha! Seo-ha! It’s a morning when the hearts of heroes and heroines are racing. I’m already in a good mood thinking about the enormous profits I will earn today. Just in case, did everyone buy Pangea TV stock? Yeah? You don’t have even one share? Hmm, if that’s the case, then…”

– No way, what is the -4.7% loser saying?

– But losing only 700,000 won over a period of more than two weeks seems quite acceptable? Haha.

– Hero heroine appears! Bring on the drinks and ladies!

– No ladies here, but we have a place to sleep; please head there, my lord.

– My younger cousin in elementary school says that stocks like Pangea TV are not worth buying.

– A month later, after dropping to -20%, losing in stocks and transferring to LebitTV will create legendary broadcasting material, haha.

“Excuse me? You say Pangea TV is garbage stock? You really are clueless.”

I did my best to provoke the viewers and irritate them.

At first, they responded playfully, but soon a few viewers started to show genuine frustration.

I slyly proposed to them.

“Then, would you like to bet against me? Whether my account will break even today or not. If I lose, I’ll do all those things you’ve been singing about, like Bangsel or reverse fan. But if you lose, you’ll have to donate 100 Candies each… What do you think?”

100 Candies isn’t a burdensome amount as 10,000 won.

I was careful to choose a balanced amount to prevent later complaints.

On the other hand, Bangsel or reverse fan are cultural elements of female streamer broadcasts, and acquiring those items generally requires about 1,000 Candies.

Just looking at the trading conditions gave me the feeling of gaining an advantage, and considering the bet’s content felt like a no-brainer.

– Is today’s break-even possible at the current -4.7% situation?

At least today, it would need to rise nearly 6% for that to happen.

Over 90% of the viewers were confident that there might be a small rise due to luck, but a 6% rise was impossible.

“Anyone willing to compete, please send 5 Candies as a donation and let me know through a voice message. I’ll write down your nicknames.”

[Seo-Ah’s Pouch has donated 5 Candies.]

[Seo-Ah’s Foot Cleaner has donated 5 Candies.]

[Seo-Ah M Pattern Balding has donated 5 Candies.]

The applications kept pouring in.

With over 100 members from Seo Adan, even floaters drawn by the title eagerly accepted the high-stake challenge.

About 20 minutes later, when I checked the number of nicknames written in the notebook, there was a staggering 378.

“I’ve confirmed a total of 378. Surely, there won’t be any cowards running away after losing the bet without donating Candies? If there are, I’ll review and add them to the blacklist after the broadcast.”

– Haha, the one who should be worried now isn’t about donating Candies but their own fate of needing to make 378 Bangsels.

– But how do you make a virtual Bangsel? Hmm?

– Sae Dalkom did make a Bangsel, but there’s really no difference from a female streamer; it’s just a picture of a virtual avatar instead of a person, right?

– To capture 378 different expressions, outfits, and angles would probably take at least a week, haha.

– Seems like Seo-Ah is starting to feel nervous!

“Nope, not happening. Sorry, but I’m the one in charge here~”

An intense battle of wits begun, with neither side backing down.

Finally, at 9:00 AM, the stock market opened.

– Huh? Huh? Huh?!

– Don’t doubt it; that’s just a trap for ants to draw them in. They’ll raise it by about 3% and then drop it again.

– Wait, why is the trading volume so high from the start?

This wasn’t the usual sluggish Pangea TV.

From the very beginning, it exploded with enormous trading volume, fluctuating around +3%.

As the viewers began to feel uneasy, I spoke up with a show-off tone.

“Tsk tsk. Fools. You still don’t realize. Think back to what happened on September 30th.”

The murmurs among the viewers quickly recalled the 720p incident at LebitTV.

– But that issue was four days ago. If that were the reason, the stock should have risen earlier; it shouldn’t be relevant today.

I decided to directly enlighten the foolish viewers still wandering in confusion.

The calendar that appeared in the lower right corner of the screen.

I pointed to each date with my finger.

“October 1st was Saturday, 2nd was Sunday, 3rd was National Foundation Day, so the market was closed. Thus, today, the 4th, is the first trading day since the 720p incident, okay?”

– Ah, that makes sense now.

– Wow haha, I thought she was a dummy, but suddenly Seo-Ah looks smart.

– Oh? d*mn, it broke through 4%!

Ignoring the chaos in the chat, the stock surged instantly to 5, 6, 7%.

Then, for a while, it began another fierce tug of war in that range.

Before long, my stocks were back in the positive.

I pointed to the numbers as if to underline them, addressing the viewers in an acting tone.

“Are we losing?”

– Ha haha, they really think they’re losing.

– d*mn, I’m on the 96th floor; when are you coming to rescue me?

– Win! I really want to win too.

– Ah haha, totally embarrassing.

The viewers’ fervent responses in the chat were overwhelming.

The viewers who had already given up started sending 100 Candies in donations.

Those donations continued until 3:30 PM… right up until the market closed.

Pangea TV’s closing price for the day was +10.69%.

It was a great victory I achieved.
