Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 275

Episode 275: The Goddess of Fortune

Saturday, February 4th.

Finally, the time has come.

The day before the Arena content opens.

We have worked really hard during this time.

Sky Island Skypia has been completed to over 65%, and after paying off the 50 million Lena debt to Owang Company, our total assets amount to 185 million Lena.

Of course, this amount excludes the agricultural goods and dishes that have not yet received the price patch.

Thanks to the continuous use of mini tractors, there are likely dishes worth over 70 million Lena stacked neatly in a corner of the warehouse.

“Just thinking about it gives me confidence. A pile of dishes worth almost one mythic grade equipment.”

Anyway, right now, one day before the Arena.

We have set various preparations and strategies in place for battle, but ultimately, the most critical factor is the players’ ‘specs.’

Didn’t I confirm it when I already stopped by Owang Company?

That group, which has built a gym and is incredibly racking up 1:1 combat experience.

Even just the difference in control between male and female characters is substantial, and they included several of the infamous Battle Chasers.

There’s no answer in a control contest.

We can only crush them with high spec equipment…

“In that sense, I hope we have enough remaining money for betting, two mythic grade items would be great.”

If I got unlucky and hit the ceiling for two mythic grade items, at least 150 million Lena would be spent.

Every time I fail, the mysterious energy increases randomly between 2-4, and if I get unlucky, it could go up close to 180 million Lena.

Truly the worst-case scenario imaginable.

Then we would be short of the capital needed to hit the jackpot using the Arena’s betting system.

“In the end, the completion of my grand plan relies on the betting system in the Arena. I’m betting everything on this. I hope at least 50 million Lena remains…”

My head is getting complicated.

The more money I put into the betting system, the brighter our future should be, but saving money makes it hard to own multiple mythic grade items.

For the specifications that I calculated would have a chance against Owang Company, at least two mythic grade items are needed.

But even that isn’t a 100% guarantee.

I wish I could secure three, but then I would likely be short on betting money.

“The operator said the expected value is 50 million Lena, so if we get three items exactly at 150 million Lena, that would be the best-case scenario.”

Will things unfold as I hope?

Just looking at Akatsuki’s Young-jun, he challenged after seeing Limiani produce a mythic grade item for under 20 million Lena, but he miserably failed despite spending 40 million Lena.

He ended up with a mysterious energy score of (47).

Currently, the leader is MuYang Group.

After barely scraping through the vehicle auction, they have a sufficient reserve of funds left.

Moreover, Limiani pulled the Goldenlight Sword on her fourth try, creating an exciting situation.

With the Arena approaching, Buck Minam Park Bong-sik personally challenged for mythic grade equipment.

Huh? But as the attempts accumulate, didn’t they say they converge on an average?

Buck Minam Park Bong-sik was able to pull the Blazerlight Sword only after stacking up to a mysterious energy (93), though he was not at the ceiling.

The amount spent was 75 million Lena.

That was virtually almost at the ceiling.

With the construction of Munasthiris, MuYang Group had no more leisure to mine for additional funds and decided to approach the Arena with two mythic grade items.

Sunny Moon had individuals attempting challenges since Tunyang’s Witherlight Sword, but the company level was still conserving resources.

It seems that the leader, Mr. NS, was too busy with Sunny Group’s affairs to provide clear directives.

Now it was Owang Company’s turn, the group we are most wary of.

After paying off the 50 million Lena debt, they scraped together the remaining funds and were able to pull one mythic grade item.

They chose Spiderlight.

It reportedly cost about 55 million Lena, so it can be said they pulled it without much issue.

“We need the Witherlight, and I want to pull either another Spider or Blazer.”

I discussed this with the company employees.

One will be pulled publicly on the broadcast, and the other will be conducted secretly via scheming to hide information from the other companies as much as possible.

“I’m leaving it to Mayo. Mayo will show us the true hand of the gods.”

“…….”

Though I’m not the luckiest when it comes to draws, oddly enough, I didn’t trust Mayo.

Based on her image, it seemed like she would keep failing and rolling on the ground in a tantrum.

“I can see that you are certainly having some very unpleasant imaginations about me right now. If you don’t apologize, I won’t prepare the promised mayonnaise rice.”

“Yeah, thanks. I absolutely will not apologize.”

Anyway, I have to make a decision now.

I can’t just drag this on forever.

The mythic grade equipment draw, which can be said to hold the fate of V-Live.

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t decide everything on my own.

“Let’s do this together. Everyone gather at the Beginning Village!”

“Yeahhhh!”

Dopamine is overflowing!

The luck-based lottery broadcast begins.

***

Once again, the process of the mythic grade equipment draw was simple.

Buy the Book of Fortune for 50,000 Lena each from the NPC in Beginning Village.

Use that to draw and collect a total of five types of luck fragment coins: L, U, C, K, Y.

Luck fragment coins can be exhausted one by one through the NPC to create a complete ‘Coin of Fortune.’

And the Coin of Fortune can be combined with certain materials to create ‘??’s Essence,’ leaving only the final step.

Just apply the Essence to a Netherite ingot at the blacksmith’s workstation.

Ah—– so easy, right?

And now, seven streamers who will execute the aforementioned process gathered in Beginning Village.

“Red Mayo!”

“Blue Miho!”

“Bip bip! You’re not showing any political colors, are you?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Mayo and Miho’s opinions have nothing to do with our V-Live Company…”

The staff, excited about a group outing away from Sky Island for the first time in a while.

But hey guys, this isn’t the time for us to be relaxing like this.

— Finally, Bracom is going for mythic grade equipment draws ㄷㄷ;;

— I want to see Seoa hit the ceiling and panic lol

[Seoa Broadcast has sponsored 5 Candies.]

— If she hits the ceiling, it’s a 1,000 candy mission ㄱㄱ

“…….”

The viewers were just as excited as the streamers.

And it’s no surprise that the V-Live Company has been silent, especially as leading companies like Owang Company, MuYang Group, and Sunny Moon have mythic grade equipment!

In this case, our fandom would inevitably feel deflated in the community.

After all, there would be nothing to say when other competing companies talk excitedly about mythic grade equipment.

“Then, I’ll distribute 1 million Lena each, so buy 20 Books of Fortune with that.”

700 million Lena disappeared in an instant.

And we each held 20 Books of Fortune in our hands.

“Let’s entrust the fate of our company to the person who collects the most luck coin fragments.”

“Just trust Mayo. Mayo always has good luck. Of course, she doesn’t have much team luck or jungler luck, but aside from that, everything’s fine.”

“…….”

There’s no way it’s actually Mayo who is lucky, right?

According to experienced players, for 1 million Lena, about 2-4 luck coin fragments would typically come out.

Of course, if one has terrible luck, they might only get 1 or none at all.

It’s literally all dependent on luck.

“Okay, then 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Start!”

[The Book of Fortune disappears.]

[You have obtained luck coin fragment ‘L.’]

[The Book of Fortune disappears.]

[You have obtained luck coin fragment ‘Y.’]

“Ah….”

I kind of predicted this.

I usually don’t have much luck in these matters.

Looking at the two remaining luck coin fragments in my inventory, I gave up gracefully.

Yeah, this kind of thing should be left to those who usually have good luck.

“This, this is clearly rigged. I can’t believe this result.”

“Why? How many did you get?”

“…….”

Mayo, wearing a blank expression, surprisingly only held one luck coin fragment ‘C.’

Phew! At least it’s comforting that someone else is in a worse spot than me.

“That’s disappointing. I got two.”

“Eh? I got two too.”

“I got three.”

Supniti and Miho each got two, while Na-roshi and Han A-yeon each got three.

So now, what about Lucy, the final contender?

“I got five. Is that a lot?”

Thump—!

I grabbed Lucy’s hand without realizing.

Could Lucy really be the goddess of luck?

Not four but five.

The fate of V-Live Company now rested in Lucy’s hands.
