Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 241

Episode 241: Obang-al

The next competition following Yutnori is Omok.

– I’ll do it!

– Hey now! Everyone already knows Seo-Ah is bad at Yutnori!

– Sweet! It’s a free chicken party today.

It’s Seollal, so we can’t end with just one round of Yutnori.

To enjoy with the viewers, I prepared various games.

“…….”

But why do I feel hot-headed while the viewers seem to be having fun?

Huh! Calm down.

Yutnori is a game based purely on luck, so there’s nothing I could do about that.

But Omok is different.

With my cool intellect, I’ll deliver ruthless judgment to those arrogant viewers whose shoulders are so high in the sky!

[Seo-Ah’s Pouch has donated 100 candies.]

– Can I participate this time?

“Excuse me? Wait, it’s the Chairman?”

Usually, this person, who’s quite dignified, just stands back and watches during such events. What’s going on?

They immediately asked for viewers’ understanding.

Honestly, they had recently donated 100,000 candies to the landmark building funding project, and I hadn’t been able to repay them properly.

Of course, managing d*e-hard fans depends on the individual streamer’s personality.

To be honest, I think a certain level of treatment for d*e-hard fans is necessary.

It’s just simple logic.

This isn’t a problem only applicable to personal broadcasting; let’s take small businesses as an example.

Even if they are the same customer, you naturally provide better service and become friendlier to regulars or VIP customers who visit often and bring in substantial sales.

It’s just basic capitalism.

Of course, it’s not necessary to give huge privileges or special treatment just because they’re d*e-hard fans, but I still think it’s essential to show more kindness and sometimes provide extra service.

Is there really a viewer who can’t understand even this level of consideration and protests to treat d*e-hard fans and general fans equally?

It’s unfortunate, but I think these friends need to experience the harsh reality a bit more.

“Alright. Let’s have this Omok match with the Chairman. Since just offering chicken gets boring, this time, I’ll put five pizza gift certificates on the line.”

Once again, the viewers responded enthusiastically.

Yeah, when it’s time to use it, I should use it properly.

These events also become memories, and the image of a streamer who knows how to give back to their fans will also form.

“Okay, I’ve created the room. You can come in right away.”

This time, I entered the channel first, created a password-protected room, and waited.

After a while, the chairman entered.

[Master of Omok (2495 wins, 711 losses) has entered.]

“…….”

What on earth is this record?

I’ve been backstabbed by the person I trusted, the chairman.

***

After Omok, we proceeded with matches of Alkkagi, Janggi, and Finding the Differences.

Perhaps due to a lack of Minecraft flow, the number of viewers was lower than usual, but this was definitely a necessary broadcast.

Not all fans enjoy Minecraft broadcasts.

Sometimes, you have to coax and caress those few.

They are fans who sprouted from nothing, planting seeds and cultivating hard.

That’s how precious they are.

Besides simple mini-games, we also sang songs, and while we were at it, we exhausted the accumulated dance requests with roulette after setting up the Full Tracker.

Homework has to be handled promptly whenever there’s time.

Otherwise, it’s only natural to end up with a bad reputation like the protest posts I saw before the regression in a fan community.

‘Reputation is truly important. It can create a perception, positive or negative, among people who have never watched my broadcasts.’

Creating a good reputation isn’t something that can be done overnight.

Even if accumulated over a long time, it’s not an easy task.

Moreover, since there are many opinionated haters in the streaming community, any little mistake or accident can lead to public opinion turning against me.

So, I always have to be careful two or three times.

In that sense, it seems good to make a “New Year’s Resolution” as we celebrate Seollal.

– Seo-Ah, let’s quit smoking this year. These days, they have a system linked with local health centers to help manage it.

– The New Year’s resolution is definitely weight loss. This summer, Seo-Ah should try wearing a bikini, right?

– Hey! Everyone is saying strange things. Our great Seo-Ah will become a partner streamer this year. Hehe, if I say this, it’s correct that I’ll receive a boost item, right?

“…….”

No, how many gift certificates did I give out today?

Complimenting them is the least I can do, but they’re spreading nonsense.

Huh? I’ve never smoked when I was a guy!

And I’m even more unjustly accused about dieting and bikinis.

“Hey! You all watched my mobile broadcast last time. What diet? I have a perfect S-line!”

– Oops? The host isn’t bragging about her red pills like that. Please maintain virtual sensitivity.

– Hmm? I didn’t see it, but if you’re feeling wronged, turn on the cam to prove it. Let’s go!

– It’s been a while since we could communicate properly, and everyone is excited. Haha.

Still, seeing the fans’ responses, it seems they’re satisfied with today’s broadcast, so I decided to endure their teasing moderately.

This is a challenging part of being a streamer.

When thinking about immediate candies and trending topics, it seems right to follow the “flow” of the platform unconditionally.

However, if one only follows that “flow,” there will be a fanbase that gets disappointed or exhausted and ultimately leaves.

On the contrary, if I focus solely on broadcasts for the fans, it can make the broadcast stagnate, causing the audience to turn away.

‘In the end, maintaining an appropriate balance is crucial, and that’s not an easy task.’

I was feeling this recently.

While focusing on Lena World, the average viewership boosted significantly due to the inflow of audience, and the candy income increased a lot, but there were still some existing Buttugi fans that had seemed to have disappeared.

On the other hand, how many of the current overflowing viewers can I turn into loyal fans until Lena World concludes?

This remains a problem that requires a lot of contemplation going forward.

‘In the end, I have no choice but to strive… I need to prepare the broadcast style and contents so that the inflows from Minecraft and the existing fans can blend well together.’

Of course, just because they’re existing fans doesn’t mean they reject Minecraft broadcasts entirely.

There are real fans who find it fun no matter what kind of broadcast I do, and many fans are interested in the Minecraft streamer server they’re seeing for the first time at Pangea TV.

“Hmmm, for my New Year’s resolution, I will prioritize completing Lena World and successfully holding the 3D Virtual Concert I plan to conduct in the first half of this year! Those two will be my goals.”

– Oh! Right, you mentioned a plan for a 3D virtual concert last time. I thought it was just a goal, but it seems like you’re actually progressing with it.

– What is a 3D virtual concert? Is there much of a difference from what’s done in VRC?

– If it’s going to happen in the first half, only four months are left!

I was gradually having concept meetings with the company.

After all, preparing the map and special effects will require time.

It was something that benefits both sides.

‘Richu,’ aiming to expand the market through Pangea TV, would be able to hold and support a recognized virtual 3D concert, showcasing the presence of a capable company, while we would conduct that expensive 3D virtual concert for free.

Additionally, I received a recruitment proposal.

Richu highly values my broadcasting talent.

In other words, they’ve indicated a path for corporate-level virtual streaming.

Though I may feel odd about Pangea TV now, ‘Richu’ was, in fact, a very promising and capable company.

In the future, when Rabbit TV Korea ends its services and a large-scale transfer happens from Rabbit TV to Pangea TV, Yuomong, Parrot, and others were virtual streamers affiliated here.

The ‘Red Jump’ project group for nurturing VTubers, in collaboration with the famous YouTuber Great Moon, who was a judge for the Ugaidol Audition, was also a work by Richu.

Moreover, industry circles recognize them for their outstanding technology, enough to receive substantial investments from large companies.

It is undoubtedly a grateful thing to be highly regarded by such a company.

However, my answer was ‘No.’

I can’t afford to disband the crew I’ve gathered myself to join the corporate level.

And it wouldn’t have any meaning if I weren’t with Lucy.

In any case, communication with Richu was going smoothly.

After the concept meeting, I needed to record songs and prepare choreography, which would take place at Richu’s motion capture studio.

This meant offline work.

Thinking about standing in front of multiple engineers wearing sensor-embedded bodysuits that I had only seen in videos on YouTube made my face heat up just from imagining it.

Yet, this too is a process that one must overcome as a “pro.”

There’s still a long way to go, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

“Yes. I’ll set those two as my goals, so viewers please watch closely.”

– Huh? What are we supposed to guard?

– Huh? I don’t think I’ve made any New Year’s resolutions.

– Again, haha, I have a feeling. I’m saying it in advance, no cursing!

There was a perceptive newbie viewer, but I had to do what I had to do.

“This year, everyone change to Seo-Ah Dan fandom! And only watch Seo-Ah’s broadcasts! You all will keep this, right?”

Is the jeering from the chatroom merely a figment of my imagination?

Anyway, such tsundere viewers, I tell you.

Today was a fulfilling broadcast once again.
