Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 270

Chapter 270: Guardian of Balance

Friday, February 3rd.

Once again, the stock price of Pangea TV soars.

Yes, this is it.

A satisfied smile remains on my face as the valuation has finally surpassed 100 million.

But the rise is not over yet.

Perhaps it will jump up two more times.

I need to quickly use the amount I exchanged this week to make additional purchases.

However, that good feeling didn’t last long.

“…….”

Traces of a conversation with someone still on Discord.

My brows instinctively furrow.

It was because I recalled the conversation I had with Bluebee yesterday late afternoon.

“Have you been doing well? Strangely, we haven’t run into each other in Lena World.”

“It’s not like we’re at a point in the game where we’d ‘hahaha’ laugh together. We just cooperate when we need to, that’s all.”

“Our Seoa has some sharp thorns, huh? But a hedgehog is cute.”

“Let’s stop. Just get to the point.”

I tried to act prickly on purpose, but Bluebee’s relaxed response didn’t affect me at all.

No, how is there just a one-year age difference with Lucy?

I was now certain.

She is at least in her late 20s, or maybe even in her 30s.

‘If that’s not the case, then she must have reincarnated like me…!’

A thought crossed my mind for a moment, but if that were true, she wouldn’t have walked willingly towards the bomb called the “Poco Server.”

Besides, there were quite a few actions difficult to explain if she were a Returned Person.

‘It’s better to think she is quick to react and perceptive. She seems to have great information as well.’

Anyway, if it was a reasonable proposal, I was willing to cooperate.

It was true that Bluebee often bothered me, but compared to the monstrous class of virtual streamers coming over after Rabbit TV Korea ceased operations, she was nothing.

“I don’t understand it no matter how much I look at it, so I’m asking. The ‘Seoa’ streamer I’ve observed so far has a very rational personality. So why did she create such a large farm? Besides, it seems she isn’t just finishing the farm but is also continuously farming.”

“……!”

The hidden card I had until now.

I couldn’t help but be flustered by her pinpoint attack.

But it was only for a moment.

I came up with an excuse that convinced Mr. Wangko and Dananyang when I acquired the mini tractor last time.

“Once Sky Island is completed, she said she would run a large restaurant and maid café? But no matter how I think about it, she seems to be farming an excessive amount. Ah! I’ve seen some replays of your company’s staff, you know? Don’t think too negatively. I have a chronic habit of not being able to contain my curiosity.”

“…… You really have an interesting condition.”

If she had already investigated to this extent, Bluebee must have some certainty as well.

However, she probably wanted to confirm it with me, the person involved, before proceeding.

But I couldn’t explain that I knew in advance because I was a Returned Person or that I got information from Mr. Lena.

The former was obvious, and the latter could immediately turn into a significant weakness in Bluebee’s hands if I mentioned it.

I could only make claims of analysis and predictions.

“Diamonds have already been depleted too much on the server, and the profitability is steadily decreasing. In the past, it was possible to go far, but with the recent introduction of vehicle auctions and myth-grade equipment, the surrounding diamonds have completely dried up.”

“Hmm, so you predicted another way to make money?”

“Exactly. In the end, as the efficiency of mining declines little by little, streamers and viewers will have no choice but to find new revenue models, and patches will be made on a server level.”

“…… Interesting. I’m really curious. The reason Seoa can be so confident. If that prediction is wrong, it would mean a huge loss of time and money.”

Bluebee seemed to suspect that I had pre-obtained information from Mr. Lena.

But I would never let her know something that could be a weakness.

In the end, she had no choice but to resolve her questions as far as she could.

“Well, it’s good information. A new revenue model to replace mining. There could be fishing or hunting, but Seoa thinks about it as farming and cooking.”

“If you understood that much, then show me some kind of compensation that I can actually be convinced of.”

Our relationship was strictly a collaborative one where we exchanged benefits.

There could be no one-sidedness.

Moreover, since this time, it was Bluebee who had touched upon one of the secrets I wanted to hide the most, my tone was sharper than usual.

If the compensation were flimsy, I would bite immediately.

“Well, it’s quite significant. Seoa should also be careful with her words. It’s from a credible source, though not 100%.”

“…….”

Why is she building up the anticipation like this from the start?

Up until this point, I had maintained my composure, but I couldn’t help but be shocked by the next comment from Bluebee.

“Do you happen to know? In Minecraft, there’s an X-ray resource pack that makes rocks, excluding ores, transparent to maximize mining efficiency.”

“……!”

As far as I remember, the X-ray incident broke out around mid-March.

But already, in early February, there was talk of X-ray?

“You must be surprised. The more important thing here isn’t just the existence of the X-ray resource pack but that there are streamers using it in Lena World. Not just one or two, but a whole group. They apparently shared it among streamers who are usually close. I don’t know everything, but just in case, I’ll give you a warning. You know Bok-deok, right?”

Bok-deok was the only male virtual streamer in Lena World.

A youth with a charming virtual avatar and excellent singing skills who had won the favor of many female streamers.

“That friend is a member of a notorious group in this industry. So be careful. I’m warning you not to get involved unnecessarily. If something happens later, being close could result in suspicion. So what do you think? Is this enough as compensation?”

“…… Sufficient.”

Excluding the fact that I already knew as a Returned Person, it was abundant information.

The X-ray resource pack incident was one of the most scandalous events in Lena World.

‘From what she’s saying, Tunyang and Mu-yo probably don’t know about it.’

In fact, due to the notoriety and amounts involved, it seemed Tunyang and Mu-yo were regarded as the entire X-ray resource pack scenario, but there were others as well.

Aside from Bluebee’s earlier mention, Bok-deok, there was also Yumei, who had a close relationship with him.

In fact, there would be more incidents revealed afterward, but this “notorious group” had committed grievous acts behind the scenes.

After the X-ray resource pack incident broke out in Lena World, Suna Land hastily conducted inspections, where users were also found, and upon confirmation, it was discovered that Bok-deok had provided the file and usage method.

‘They’ve formed a group, and it turns out similar people are gathering. How did they manage to avoid detection…’

Additionally, among those connected to this notorious group was Blurbing, who had recently passed the audition for additional members of Prika.

This friend was also set to cause a significant incident.

“Alright, it seems we are mutually satisfied now, so let’s meet again next time.”

“…….”

Bluebee’s haughty departure was incredibly irksome, but I couldn’t deny the value of the information she had.

Moreover, considering I had gone back to watch replays of our company staff, I thought I should be more cautious moving forward.

‘Does she not have any intention to directly report it?’

It was clear that even for the sake of the public good, there was no need to provoke resentment among the parties involved.

Moreover, regardless of right or wrong, reporting a fellow streamer would inevitably evoke suspicious glances.

‘I’ve kept silence for similar reasons too, so I have no words.’

If I continued to keep silence like this, the X-ray resource pack incident would break out in March.

And with the answer I provided, Bluebee gained confidence, so she would likely claim the need to build a farm ahead of MuYang Group.

From Bluebee’s perspective, it could be seen as a great opportunity to expand her influence within MuYang Group.

‘But this makes things a bit complicated. Originally, I planned to keep Owang Company in check…’

Before the reincarnation, the competition in Lena World had been a stronghold of Owang Company versus MuYang Group.

However, there were many aspects where Owang Company was slightly ahead.

Thus, I had been deliberately paying attention to keep Owang Company in check since the vehicle auction.

If MuYang Group became stronger than before the reincarnation, I would have no choice but to revise my plans to seek profits in an appropriate balance.

‘This time, I need to keep MuYang Group in check.’

I voluntarily took on the role of the Guardian of Balance for the peace (?) of Lena World.
