Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 272

Chapter 272: The Devil’s Proposal

“Ladies and gentlemen, I am now in front of the V-Live Company building, where the most heinous labor exploitation in Lena World history is taking place. A recent tip has come in that Rissle Company is also experiencing horrific incidents at this underground mega farm. Squeak!”

“…….”

First, I should get rid of that annoying Jwisun journalist… no, Jwisun.

With all that noise, my mind is getting even more complicated.

“Mr. Jwisun, could you come over here for a moment?”

“Ah! Viewers, it seems that the unscrupulous business owner is finally willing to do an interview. The process of reporting hasn’t been easy, but I, Jwisun… stand here only with the determination to transparently deliver the results to the public. I would appreciate your support until the end. Squeak!”

Jwisun, who can be considered a founding member of Akatsuki.

Although a rookie who debuted at the end of last year with the full support of the mid-level streamer Tteu3, her amazing broadcasting talent has made her an essential supporting role in Lena World.

‘Clearly, talent is important in everything. Many remain as Hako streamers even after years of streaming and still end up switching.’

Jwisun’s growth has been quite surprising, as she almost matches my number of favorites at 9,300.

“Mr. Seo, just so you know, bribery doesn’t work on me. I, Jwisun! Stand here only out of my faithful sense of duty.”

“…….”

Has she completely been consumed by her concept?

In any case, at this moment, our intentions aligned.

I had no intention of giving her any bribes either.

I quietly approached and whispered.

“By any chance, is your b*tt health okay?”

“……!”

Jwisun froze suddenly.

However, she soon composed herself, awkwardly laughing, pretending not to understand what I meant.

Heh, she must be trembling.

At this time, it wasn’t known, but Jwisun was suffering from hemorrhoids.

In fact, hemorrhoids were one of the common ailments among streamers.

Since they sit for long periods, have terrible eating habits, and rarely exercise, it’s the perfect environment for such diseases to flourish.

When Jwisun’s hemorrhoids were revealed at one time, jokes arose asking if a place without hemorrhoids could become a high-ranking ninja in Akatsuki.

Kkaenam had also suffered from hemorrhoids at one point.

– What is this out of the blue?

– For real, why ask about butts? Did she bump her behind hard or something?

– I don’t know about that, but let’s go take down the wicked boss Seo-A~

It seems the viewers haven’t caught on yet.

And Jwisun was also uncertain.

Since she hadn’t explicitly revealed it on her stream, she wouldn’t be sure if I was precisely talking about her hemorrhoids.

So, I decided to briefly play the role of a pseudo fortune teller that I had acquired during my previous 24-hour non-stop streaming when I visited Akatsuki.

It wasn’t a planned big picture, but since the setup was naturally continuing, there was no reason not to use it.

“Mr. Jwisun, do you not remember? I have a knack for reading people. It seems you have a nasty ailment.”

“……!”

The intent hit the mark perfectly.

Startled, Jwisun tried to speak but realized that ‘hemorrhoids’ is a particularly embarrassing topic for a female streamer, leaving her restless.

I suppressed my laughter and gestured to Jwisun.

“A warm bath should really help you. Even if it’s annoying, don’t skip it.”

“…….”

“And I’m busy, so I’ll be heading out now.”

“Understood!”

Jwisun, who had just been passionately acting as a journalist, hurriedly disappeared, forgetting her previous role.

As I watched the surprised chats of the viewers, I shrugged my shoulders.

Phew! That troublesome reporter has been dealt with.

Now I need to find the escaped slaves… I mean, staff.

“Master, just give the orders. I’ll help search wholeheartedly too!”

In the meantime, Na-roshi had returned in perfect condition, as if she had discovered her hidden items.

This was just what I needed.

“…….”

“Then please just wait until I find all the staff. I trust you.”

Na-roshi sat on the mini tractor, looking at me somewhat helplessly.

Hmm, it’s a bit guilty, but I can’t help it.

I can’t stand losses in agriculture!

***

This operation had to be carried out quickly and accurately, especially since I was thinking of Na-roshi, who was suffering from hard labor alone because of the traitors.

Ugh, how much money could I be making right now!

I spread my wings and flew up to Sky Island.

And even though I expanded the map, I still couldn’t see anyone.

They were seriously well hidden.

It seemed they were hiding somewhere other than Sky Island or V-City.

‘I guess I have no choice. Let’s start from the nearest place.’

To the southeast was Dozuni Castle of Rissle Company, and to the northwest was Haenam Village created by Akatsuki.

After some consideration, I decided to check Rissle Company first.

“Ah! It’s Seo-A.”

“Seolpyo, long time no see.”

The long-awaited Dozuni Castle was still boasting its magnificent appearance.

Coincidentally bumping into Seolpyo at the entrance, he greeted me warmly.

He had suffered from the aftereffects of the sniping incident for a while, but now he seemed completely recovered.

I wanted to catch up, but as a ‘professional’ broadcaster, work had to come first.

I asked if any of our company’s staff had visited here.

“I saw Mayo playing inside a while ago! She was grumbling about how our blade match was boring and why we weren’t doing solo rankings instead of that.”

“…….”

That girl just brings chaos even to other companies.

After asking for guidance, Seolpyo gladly accepted.

“Oh! This is my first time visiting the interior since it was completed, and it’s definitely….”

“Isn’t it magnificent? Everyone worked hard to build it.”

It was a structure built up after accumulating a debt of over 40 million Lena.

Smooth quartz sparkling brightly surrounded the ceiling, walls, and floors, and the large walls featured SD illustrations of streamers belonging to Rissle Company painted by fans.

“…… This is the reality. So, technically, I’m the real power, and Seo-A is just a puppet president, and I’m overseeing everything.”

“Really? It didn’t seem that way at all.”

Following Seolpyo’s guide, I spotted Mayo chatting with Ran-chu on the way to the third floor.

It was absurd to see her making strange fabrications, but at least I had found her.

I slowly waved my hand toward Mayo, signaling her to come closer.

However, after a moment of hesitation, Mayo snorted and turned her head to ignore me.

Is she really suffering from middle school syndrome, not just having a minuscule figure?

“Mayo will fight until the working conditions are improved. This is the truth.”

Mayo was expressing strong resolve to resist until the end.

What should I do with her?

Should I use my position as the head of the company and crew leader to strong-arm her?

I’m not a big company streamer, and doing that might backfire on me.

Objectively, even I can see that our company’s working conditions are harsher than those at other companies.

But from my standpoint, it couldn’t be helped.

Without the trickle-down effect from large company streamers, V-Live Company could never have gained the recognition and power it has now without everyone’s efforts and sacrifices.

‘I guess there’s no choice. This time, I’ll have to soothe her gently…’

Having sorted out my thoughts, I strode confidently toward Mayo.

Then, in an instant, she hurriedly hid behind Ran-chu, with her previous confident demeanor disappearing.

“You said you wanted improvements in working conditions? Exactly what are you looking for?”

“Mayo wants a guaranteed 2 hours of solo ranking a day. And she wants to keep 20% of the income as personal funds. Mayo also wants to have myth-grade equipment.”

Those were relatively reasonable demands.

Other companies usually split public funds and personal funds around 70:30.

However, if we adjusted our share like that, with our seven-person company, we would inevitably lag behind companies like Owang Company or MuYang Group.

So, I had to use other means.

Just then, I found a decent solution from Mayo’s demands.

“You’re not a child, and you can’t get everything you want. In the end, you’ll have to choose one.”

“Mayo is not a child. Mayo is still 19 years old, but once I have a birthday, I’ll get my resident registration….”

“Is that so? Then choose. Since you claimed you’re not a child, as an adult, you have to know what to give up and what to choose.”

What Mayo wanted was time for personal solo plays and funding for myth-grade equipment.

To be honest, I wasn’t keen on giving her solo time early on.

After all, if individual activities increase, the cohesion of V-Live Company would inevitably suffer.

So, I proposed the opposite first.

“How about this? Wait a bit longer for the solo ranking, and when the destruction battle announcement comes out, I’ll release it. For now, let’s focus on obtaining myth-grade equipment.”

“Mayo doesn’t quite understand what you mean. Mayo will uphold her loyalty to her comrades and will never fall for the devil’s whisper.”

“There’s no need to think too hard. I’m simply giving you an opportunity. An opportunity to be the first in our company to own myth-grade equipment.”

Suddenly moving past Ran-chu, I approached Mayo and whispered with a sweet voice.

“I’ll make sure you get myth-grade equipment before anyone else. The first in V-Live Company. How about that? What do you think of such a condition? You could be the first one among us to own myth-grade equipment.”

Mayo’s eyes widened in surprise.
