Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 244

244 Chapter: My Answer

The fact that Bluebee started so boldly might be related to the conversation we had last time.

It was as if the discussions we had were probing into Bluebee’s past.

“If you’re asking about the ‘old me,’ it seems you were streaming even before debuting with the nickname Bluebee.”

“Cute. Are you trying to grill me right now?”

“Isn’t it the same for you if we get down to it?”

“Not a word from you.”

“You keep saying what I want to say first.”

“…….”

There’s a fierce exchange of nerves as both try to dig out the information they know.

And I was now confident from the short conversation earlier.

Bluebee is a streamer who once operated under a different nickname.

“…… Okay, fine. I won’t ask about that part. I don’t expect a proper answer anyway. What’s more important is the reason for your hostility towards me. Have we crossed paths in the past?”

I can’t say that I’m a Returned Person and that my former favorite used to be in the same crew as you, only to be taken advantage of and then switch.

So I change the topic a bit and bring up a more theoretical discussion.

“I’m not extremely old, but I have quite a bit of life experience. I’ve often been told I have a good eye for people.”

“…….”

“It seems too blatant, though, your wicked intention to use people. That’s why I have no choice but to be antagonistic. Lucy is a valuable talent who will captivate the virtual panel of Pangea TV. I need to get rid of whoever keeps clinging on.”

The ‘whoever’ being referred to knows best that it refers to themselves.

In fact, they’ve already made a profit by using my friendship with Lucy as an excuse.

“Lucy is a talent who will dominate the virtual panel? Hahaha, what a joke. You can’t be serious, can you? I didn’t know you had such a sense of humor!”

“…….”

Huh? This is starting to irritate me.

I’ve had my illusions shattered a lot since my return.

Now, it’s not between a streamer and a fan but rather as colleagues working together.

But even so, I absolutely can’t tolerate others putting Lucy down.

It feels similar to how we look at our country’s football.

I can accept criticism directed at me, but when it’s others from different countries, that’s something I can’t stand at all.

“So, has our esteemed Bluebee enjoyed themselves on the Poco server? The 24-hour war must have been exhilarating.”

“…….”

I can’t just be the one taking hits.

Maybe I struck a nerve; a brief silence follows.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had such an experience… I definitely want to recommend it to Seoa next time. Seriously.”

“Come on! I’m a pacifist; I’m not into that war server!”

“Just because you’re a pacifist doesn’t mean war will pass you by. Even if you don’t want to, you can suddenly get caught up in it. So, be careful. You never know when that danger might strike.”

“Ah, I’m fine. Thanks for your concern; I have a good sense for these things.”

“Really? I’m jealous of that sense of yours. By the way, could I benefit from that sense of yours too?”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t want it earlier? Your memory seems a bit weak.”

“Hmph… I’m a persistent type.”

“Then we’re quite the opposites.”

Is this the end of the prelude?

Bluebee lets out a deep sigh and asks a fundamental question again.

“So ultimately, the problem is that it seems like I’m using Lucy as leverage to exploit you? Didn’t you say you’ve had a lot of social experience? In this world of business, human relationships are all about Give & Take. I will definitely be more helpful than Lucy. And personally, I’ve got a high opinion of you.”

“…….”

“From debut broadcasts to utilizing the community to gain attention. Even in front of thousands of viewers, your skill in managing broadcasts stands out. Oh! I’ve also seen your content. Great ideas. You’re strong in those creative aspects too—wow, you’re practically multi-talented.”

I could feel the greed in Bluebee’s voice.

Along with the confidence directed towards me.

“You’re talented and have definite value as a resource. Oh, you didn’t like such expressions, right? But isn’t direct language easier to understand? Anyway, what I mean is, use me too. Let’s help each other out.”

“Why should I do that? I can do perfectly well on my own.”

“Can you really? You don’t know Pangea TV. How exclusionary this place is toward no-cam streamers. Do you genuinely believe that virtual streamers have established a foothold here?”

“…….”

Bluebee’s words hit home.

I was somewhat taken aback.

While I know the future up till 2025 and can make that judgment, what basis does Bluebee have to be so certain?

‘Were they originally from Pangea TV? I thought they came from LebitTV.’

My head started spinning.

Even amidst this confusion, Bluebee continued.

“You could take a corner spot like this for now. However, it remains just a fringe. Can a no-cam streamer ever take the mainstream at Pangea TV?”

Bluebee’s analysis was quite accurate.

Even in the future, Pangea TV’s virtual streamers mostly remained in a supporting role rather than the mainstream.

This trend was particularly stark in large servers filled with many streamers.

The virtual streamers are dragged along by human streamers who lead the way.

“In the end, ‘class’ is everything. By increasing your class, you can be recognized and mix into the mainstream, even as a no-cam streamer. But if you can’t, you end up remaining just as an accessory.”

“…….”

Bluebee’s statement accurately pierced through Pangea TV’s live streaming environment.

Ultimately, the ‘class’ of a streamer is indeed the universal key to solving all problems.

But in Pangea TV, increasing the class of no-cam streamers was an incredibly difficult task.

History proves that.

Before my return, there wasn’t a single streamer who achieved an average view count in the four digits in the virtual panel of Pangea TV until the class behemoth virtuals flocked in after LebitTV Korea ended its service.

“You certainly have talent. However, Pangea TV is a graveyard for no-cam streamers. Do you think it was a coincidence that the durahans moved to LebitTV in large numbers? Every phenomenon has its reason. Of course, the recent surge of virtual streamers moving is evident. But will this trend change overnight?”

The exclusion of no-cam streamers at Pangea TV, which boasts a long history and tradition.

Even in 2025, we won’t be able to erase those remnants entirely.

It’s ingrained and rooted deeply in reality.

“That’s why the presence of a capable ‘collaborator’ is essential. I think I explained enough for anyone not to be foolish. How about it?”

Bluebee extended their hand once more.

And without hiding anything, revealed their honest intentions.

Let’s use and collaborate with each other.

“It’s true that you’re capable, but I have what I’ve ‘built up’ over time. Collaborating won’t cost you anything.”

“…….”

“And one more thing. If you’re so worried about ‘Lucy,’ I promise I won’t use her in the future. If you find it hard to believe, I could draft a contract. Of course, such a document wouldn’t hold legal power, but at least, you could use it to threaten me in the community.”

“Why go that far?”

The previous proposal definitely held risks for Bluebee as well.

Why are they so desperate to take such a leap?

“I’m sick of it. I’m tired of rolling around at rock bottom.”

That last statement hinted a lot to someone like me who doubts Bluebee’s past.

Rolling around at rock bottom.

Moreover, Bluebee seemed to possess considerable insight regarding the circumstances of no-cam streamers at Pangea TV.

“Anyway, it’s time for me to decide. I’ve explained enough and I think I’ve made a decent proposal. Think it over. In the end, for streamers, ‘class’ is everything.”

Bluebee’s message boiled down to a simple point.

Put all personal feelings aside and focus on practicality first.

Most importantly, let’s concentrate on increasing our ‘class’ by utilizing and collaborating with each other.

To be honest, it was a tempting proposal.

Before the behemoth virtual streamers started flocking to LebitTV, I had often thought about how to somehow raise my ‘class.’

Using future knowledge, I had optimistic expectations that it would be possible, but honestly, I couldn’t be 100% sure.

‘But if I were to collaborate with Bluebee, that probability would increase. Their abilities are quite certain.’

Among the virtual streamers at Pangea TV in 2025, Bluebee would be one of the top ten.

Thus, there was no need to doubt their abilities.

‘However, the issue is their character. Who knows when they might stab me in the back?’

Various thoughts tangled in my head.

During such times, I find myself resenting the fact that I’m T.

If I were to solely consider the built-up emotions, it would be right to reject without looking back.

And then, after a while, I finally made my decision after much contemplation.

“So, my answer is…”
