Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 253

Episode 253: The Future of V-Live Company

The moment information about myth-grade equipment was released, the biggest uproar came from the community.

– The best sword is the Goldenlight! Anyone who disagrees is just a noob!

Existing weapons have maximum looting enchantment level III, but Goldenlight can go up to level V.

What does this mean? It means that the loot acquired from monster hunting doubles.

Nowadays, everyone is flying in the sky with wings, and due to a shortage of fireworks for consumption, every company has dedicated personnel for gunpowder farming.

If someone can acquire this sword? Then it’s just crazy efficiency. You can sell the remaining gunpowder to earn money, and money is the best in the game.

Seriously, right now a set of fireworks costs nearly 100,000 Lena, which is more efficient than mining. You can prioritize getting the Goldenlight Sword first and then make money with it to challenge other sets.

– But isn’t the primary purpose of upgrading equipment PvP? I think something like Wither or Spider or Blazer would be better.

– I want to see the Gitterlight set effect. The ability to double jump sounds amazing just thinking about it, haha.

– But this armor set effect doesn’t include weapons, so you can customize it to your liking. For example, armor can be the Gitter set and weapons can be something like Witherlight.

– What’s the most efficient combination, I wonder?

– Seriously, the expected value for one piece is 50 million Lena; it’s not something you can challenge lightly. That’s the amount that could uproot a company.

– Still, it feels like the server has stagnated recently, so I think this update is good. I can’t wait for the weekend.

– Wangko mentioned he would challenge the Blazerlight Sword this Saturday; will he succeed?

– Owang Company is now broke, so it seems unlikely, haha. MuYang Group might still be okay because they have substantial funds.

– Are you talking about the MuYang Group that got hit hard during vehicle purchases and is now without a car? Haha.

– Look at the Gold Cup starting already, haha! I reported it; goodbye~

Experts from every corner of the community are appearing, writing about which equipment is the best.

There are even community enthusiasts relying on companies to create a Gold Cup.

The hot topic is the myth-grade equipment from Lena World, which has dominated the community in an instant.

Posts related to the members of Suna Land and Mercury, which were annoying to Mr. Lena’s Land, are nearly impossible to find unless searched directly.

‘It’s a fact that MuYang Group is in the most advantageous position right now. They probably still have around 150 million Lena left.’

Recently, I heard that Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, who just joined the server, was given equipment and spent nearly 10 million Lena on entertainment in the casino.

Nonetheless, it’s undeniable that MuYang Group holds the top position in cash reserves at this time.

‘Wait, what if Tunyang…?’

In the vehicle auction, Tunyang made a significant contribution financially to Sunny Moon, showcasing his prominence.

Right now, there are praises in the community, calling Tunyang a god of mining and boasting double the efficiency compared to others.

Encouraged, Tunyang gathered the company staff, claiming he would share mining know-how through something called “Chunkron.”

While he rambled on with seemingly impressive claims, I, the returned person, knew better.

That was just a nonsensical chatter, and all of Tunyang’s money came from illegal funds acquired with the X-ray feature in Secret.

I was gradually sensing something suspicious in the underground gallery.

Recently, Tunyang’s performance in Diamond CK had been poor.

When suspicious glances were cast, he made up an excuse that he did ordinary mining on purpose to avoid exposing his know-how and tips; it was a pretty weak explanation.

But directly accusing him of being suspicious could be taken as targeting a rival streamer, so the atmosphere was passively ignoring it.

Without solid evidence, no one cared.

However, in the underground gallery, they weren’t bothered by such trivialities.

As long as there were enjoyable things to speculate about, that was enough!

Already, there were suspicious movements around, digging into Tunyang’s background.

‘Well, as long as they stay away from me, it’s fine.’

As long as it doesn’t harm me or those around me, it’s best to avoid the people in the underground gallery.

Tunyang must face the consequences of his actions himself.

‘The patch for crop and food prices will take some time. For now, I’ll have to wait and hope for good luck…’

Myth-grade equipment, from lucky coin shard draws to the process of fusing essence and netherite ingots, all relied on luck, and even the knowledge of a returned person had no viable tactics against it.

If luck is on your side, you can craft myth-grade equipment with just 2-3 essence synthesis attempts, but if not, you’d have to spend nearly 100 million Lena hitting the ceiling.

Does this mean a returned person’s knowledge is useless?

Nope! A returned person always finds the right answer.

‘Just being able to choose the right answer without wandering is already a huge benefit. For example, knowledge that lets you filter out equipment sets with ambiguous performance in advance.’

Before returning, Owang Company invested enormous funds to set up a Gitterlight armor set.

They deemed the effect of double jump to be immensely valuable.

It really is a flashy effect, allowing one to walk on water or lava, creating a spectacular scene, but that’s as far as it goes.

Ah, they say that the double jump is also helpful when building.

But when asked if it’s worth 200 million Lena, one can only shake their head.

Because it was far too weak against Wither, Blazer, and Spider type weapons.

‘Ultimately, the utility of myth-grade equipment is in the arena. It’s necessary for determining the strongest company in the arena, so the setup must primarily focus on PvP.’

Before returning, Owang Company was the one that threw everything into the endeavor and made the mistake of equipping the Gitterlight set based on that substantial capital.

If they had chosen the Witherlight or Blazerlight sets from the start, they would have been far ahead.

That poor choice allowed competitors to catch up.

‘Wither or Blazer sword must come first. Armor should be decided based on the weapon choices of the competitors.’

Witherlight had enormous merit in that enemies in the Wither state can’t see their remaining health.

Not knowing how much health remains can psych them out.

However, before returning, it wasn’t popular due to this ambiguous phrasing.

It only became an essential weapon for every company after the effect was experienced firsthand.

‘Blazer is the same. Everyone focused only on damage, but it had more merit in other aspects.’

Enemies hit by Blazer have a certain chance to catch ‘ignition’ status.

At this moment, the effect of fire engulfing the entire body occurs, not just damage but significantly obscuring the line of sight with flickering flames.

Limitations of vision during intense battles?

Users proficient in PvP can fully understand how powerful this effect is, simply from the descriptions.

‘Goldenlight isn’t bad either. Besides definite gunpowder farming, you can also earn money. But the timing would be too late for that.’

Our company lacks the funds to challenge for Goldenlight right now.

Though there wasn’t a mention of Mr. Lena’s Land, judging by the speed at which the Coliseum is being built, an arena opening isn’t far off.

So, we must secure definite gains with dedicated myth-grade weapons from the start.

In the arena, there is not only the prize money for winning based on ranking but also a ‘betting’ system.

‘Initially, we will be in a disadvantageous position to the point of being a heavy underdog. This is where we can make immense gains with an all-in bet.’

Against the likes of the Battle Cartel and male streamers from other companies, competing in control inevitably leads to destruction.

Ultimately, the chances of victory derive from an edge in specifications created by money.

To put it simply, it’s about overpowering opponents with money.

And to prepare that kind of money, the prize money from winning in the arena and the massive betting system’s underdog payout need to explode.

A highly meticulous plan is required that doesn’t raise doubts from other companies.

‘Such planning is right in my wheelhouse.’

“Ugh! Seoa is making another evil smile. Mayo is really scary.”

“……”

What an audacious little one!

To sabotage my relentless efforts for the advancement of V-Live Company.

I sent Mayo away and told her to go complete the ‘secret mission’ I entrusted to her.

Afterward, I called Na-roshi.

“Jar… Jar. Falling jar.”

“Cough. Roshi, are you okay?”

“Gasp! I’m fine, Master.”

Recently, after clearing the jar game via non-stop streaming to fulfill the building funding pledge, she seemed a bit off.

Is this the curse of the jar game?

“How is the construction progressing?”

“I can’t measure it precisely, but I’d say it’s about 30% complete. At this pace, the Sky Island can be completed before mid-February.”

“Is that so? You’ve done a great job.”

It wasn’t just idle talk.

Indeed, Na-roshi, when it comes to Minecraft, was handling more than double the work alone.

Plus, with the support of Miho, Supniti, Han A-yeon, and Lucy, the construction speed of our company was surpassing that of major companies despite a lack of personnel.

“Good. Keep it that way. I will nearly leave the construction to you.”

“Yes! I will do my best, Master!”

With someone like Na-roshi, who considers me an absolute savior in broadcasts, I could safely entrust the construction.

So, I need to focus on the myth equipment update.

The future of V-Live Company.

It depended on this current project.
