Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 246
Episode 246: The Trending Server
Wednesday, January 25.
It was the day right after the long Seollal Holiday, which felt like it lasted forever, even including the substitute holiday.
First of all, I launched the fireworks.
It was the stock trading day that resumed after a long time, and Pangea TV achieved a great outcome with a sudden 5% increase.
Since my capital has grown significantly, a mere 5% increase meant I made a profit exceeding 4 million won instantly.
Moreover, the upward rally wasn’t over yet.
I expected it to rise significantly three more times beyond today.
In addition, I kept purchasing more every time the currency exchange rolled around, so the final anticipated profit was bound to be even greater.
Could this be the feeling of being full just by looking at it?
However, I couldn’t get too absorbed in stock investment.
You never know when the butterfly effect might occur.
Right now, my capital doesn’t exceed the level of a ‘small investor,’ so it’s flowing historically, but as the amount increases and catches the eye of ‘powerful investors,’ the flow of stock prices could change from what I had known.
Huh? Isn’t that a bit too hypersensitive?
Of course it is… I’m not playing a game right now; I’m gambling with my ‘entire wealth.’
A small mistake could make me lose my hard-earned assets, so it’s only natural to be extra careful.
“Right. Don’t let greed blind you. Just stick to the original plan. After making a big profit this time, I’ll split the money in half…”
Half would be reinvested in stocks, and the remaining half would be spent on moving costs and investing in virtual aspects.
After Lena World ends, there will be a brief gap, during which I’ll need to appeal to the virtual part again to attract the b*tt-picking viewers.
I’ve mentioned it several times, but relying solely on liquidity has its limits.
A healthy stream requires a balanced ratio of light fans and dedicated fans.
“Above all, I need to increase my weight class. The goal is to at least exceed an average of four viewers for chin-ups.”
In Pangea TV, an average of four viewers could barely be called mid-tier.
Of course, just surpassing that number wouldn’t be sufficient.
What can compensate for that shortcoming is the ‘candy power.’
Even if the average viewer number is a bit disappointing, if the candy power supports me strongly, even the big company streamers won’t be able to look down on me anymore.
“Although the virtual aspect is a bit lacking in fun, resulting in a lower average viewer count, the value co-broadcasts (similar romance) have a high ratio of dedicated fans. So the candy power is decent too.”
For now, the primary goal was to securely maintain an average viewer count of 1,000 after Lena World ends.
And by the end of the year, if I could steadily grow and reach an average of about 1,500 per month, that would be best.
With that, leveraging the accumulated recognition and the fact that Pangea TV is my home ground, I would at least be able to have minimal competition with the upcoming monster virtual transferees.
“That’s the plan for the future. But today is the focus.”
Today, I was wrapping up my work with the staff from V-Live Company and took a moment to catch my breath.
I mentioned to the viewers that I would be having a late dinner and briefly stepped away.
Then, I opened Pangea TV on my mobile and secretly joined Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s stream.
Finally, the day had come after almost a month-long long hiatus.
The stream had been live for 10 minutes but was still displaying a black screen, teasing the viewers.
The audience had smoothly surpassed 30,000 viewers.
And the chat room was on fire with rapidly increasing messages.
After the opening song changed twice and the viewers’ patience reached a limit, the cam screen turned on, revealing Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, looking a bit awkward, greeting the viewers.
“Hi hi, brothers. Have you all been well? Hahaha, it’s kinda awkward since it’s been a while.”
– Ugh! I haven’t seen you in a while, but you’re still just as ugly, lol
– Your looks got scarier, dang;;
– Pink outfit is killing me, lol. You’re a pink pig in essence.
“No, brothers. It’s been so long since we’ve met, why are you saying hurtful things? Huh? You should give me some kind words and ask how I’ve been too!”
As if the awkwardness just a moment ago was all part of the act, he quickly displayed smooth back-and-forth banter with the viewers.
Starting with stories related to his move during the long hiatus, Buck Minam Park Bong-sik began to share interesting tales.
Excited fans, thrilled by his return, actively responded and supported him with candy.
“So during the break, I seriously studied the League of Legends meta and thought a lot about it, and it’s really…”
– Ugh, lol. Golden Duck still can’t get a grip on reality.
– He’s older now, he can’t physically keep up, what are you saying, Bong-sik? Just play Tteuldak game.
– Minecraft is all the rage these days; why are you bothering with that League cr*p, lol? League is only for the destruction battle, get a grip.
Then, naturally, the discussion shifted towards the direction of future streams.
The fans began to react sensitively.
Once a focus content is set, it will likely flow that way for a while.
Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, who was subtly peeking at the viewers’ sentiments in the chat room, was caught off guard when the criticism towards League poured in.
“So, what do you want me to do, brothers? Should I play Valorant? Starcraft? League? Or maybe that Minecraft that’s trending?”
– Minecraft, Minecraft, Minecraft!
– You should play Minecraft; Dananyang and Limiani have been waiting for you forever.
– Bong-sik, now is your chance. Seriously, let’s create MuYang Group and conquer Lena World.
– Minecraft is legit fun.
– Hey, recently, Seoa’s company, which she leads, had 750,000 structures funded, lol. Minecraft is really a honey jar.
While Buck Minam Park Bong-sik was on his long hiatus, the Mr. Mu-jeossi who drifted through Lena World with liquidity unleashed terrifying power.
About 90% of the chat room was shouting Minecraft.
Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, looking slightly flustered as he didn’t expect the sentiment to turn so one-sided, responded.
“Lena World is indeed super hot. I didn’t expect our brothers’ sentiments would be this strong. I heard there’s another server, right? Sister Seona had contacted me saying they created a Minecraft server.”
– That server is like a second league for those who got dropped from Lena World; it’s not a suitable place for Bong-sik.
– Huh? Is there another Minecraft server? I don’t know about that, but Bong-sik should definitely go to Lena World and create MuYang Group. The gang has been eagerly waiting.
– Suna Land is also fun;; Kyuri and Kyun-ho have entered that server.
The server Gold Cup started to show up gradually in the chat room.
However, among the Mr. Mu-jeossi, the sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of Lena World.
That was because they had already immersed themselves in the stories of Akatsuki and V-Live Company while living with liquidity.
Moreover, Wangko and Kim Hak-do were also in Lena World, so the weight class of the server itself was heavily tilted.
Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, who quickly caught that sentiment, cleared his throat a few times before beginning to go along with the viewers.
“Actually, during my break, Lena World has been so popular that I’ve been checking it out occasionally. No, I saw that Han-nam brother placed a huge construction mission, like 200,000 structures, right? Brother! Can I look forward to it too? If Han-nam enters, please type something in the chat!”
– Haha, lol. Pink pig energetic management.
– Hey, this month, Mr. Young-jun is almost in the 1 million club. Seriously, the Minecraft side is profitable.
– For sure, having spent some money moving, let’s pull in Minecraft for a little boost.
Even a big company streamer couldn’t go against the overwhelming sentiments.
Furthermore, when a few energetic fans who connected moments later subtly sponsored return candy while talking about Minecraft, Buck Minam Park Bong-sik had no choice but to make a decision.
“Okay! Sounds good. I will start playing Minecraft from tomorrow. The sentiment of the viewers is the sentiment of the heavens! I’ve had a long break, so I’ll work hard.”
– Paradise, paradise, paradise!
– Bong-sik, Owang Company is getting too popular. Let’s go for some real education.
– As soon as we enter, gather all servers for a head start, let’s go!
Naturally, Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s instance of joining Lena World was decided just like that.
Though I had anticipated this future, seeing the result made me unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
If Buck Minam Park Bong-sik had declared he would go to Suna Land, a significant portion of the viewers who had been supporting our V-Live Company would have left for that server.
You don’t think so?
That’s just not knowing the traits of the viewers.
They might have thought they had formed some bond, but once the content ended, they’d turn away mercilessly and remove it from their favorites, which is the characteristic of viewers lacking commitment.
“The fact that Buck Minam Park Bong-sik is sticking with Lena World means the trend is confirmed.”
After Kim Hak-do, Wangko, and Mr. NS, Buck Minam Park Bong-sik joined in.
Even if Jamst and Sayoh have their remarkable talents, once the weight class difference increases this much, there’s no chance for Suna Land.
I may not be a server dog mindlessly protecting the server, but the success of Lena World is essential for maintaining the current upward trend.
“And the real competition starts now.”
Until now, it felt like Owang Company had been dominating, but with the entry of Buck Minam Park Bong-sik and the formation of MuYang Group, real competition began.
In the midst of the chaotic situation, securing the benefits for our company is something I, the leader, must achieve.
The weight on my shoulders feels heavier.
