Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 276
Chapter 276: What Will the Results Be?
After excluding the 7 million Lena already used, I entrusted 43 million Lena to Lucy.
The expected value of myth grade equipment is 50 million Lena.
If Lucy succeeds with this amount, I would be absolutely thrilled.
“Please, Lucy!”
“Lucy unnie, do it!”
All the staff members were praying with their hands together while exploring Lucy’s broadcast.
It was money earned by everyone working hard and exhausting themselves.
How mentally devastating would it be if that money lost all value and vanished into an unknown energy?
Oh Young-jun, who failed miserably in the lottery, was said to have committed s*icide, lamenting from the top of Han-nam-sang as if he had lost his sanity.
Of course, it would have been for the show, but there must have been some real feelings mixed in as well.
Gathering that amount of money is evidence that one had to suppress the desire to go out and focused solely on mining.
If it were to vanish in an instant, one could hardly avoid feeling a sense of loss…
Moreover, there would be the atmosphere of disappointment within the fandom.
I felt a twinge of guilt about that.
To have Lucy represent us in such an important matter…
Depending on the results, Lucy could be criticized by the fandom.
– Ah… if only Lucy had drawn only myth grade equipment back then, we might have won today.
– Maybe if Na-roshi or Ayeon had done it, they’d have succeeded?
– It’s just better for the leader to handle these things; failing for no reason will bring up bad talk.
The expected contents in the chat room were roughly like that.
But this time, I really couldn’t do anything.
This was literally a content dependent on ‘luck,’ and since Lucy had performed the best in the selection competition through the Book of Fortune…
“Then let’s go.”
I’m going to draw luck piecing coins with 43 million Lena.
Typically, it is said that spending 50 million Lena yields around 15-18 complete luck coins.
There are cases where it comes out in lesser amounts due to clustering around specific alphabets, but you can exchange those with other streamers to balance the quantity.
[The Book of Fortune is disappearing.]
[The Book of Fortune is disappearing.]
[You have obtained the luck coin piece ‘C’.]
[The Book of Fortune is disappearing.]
[The Book of Fortune is disappearing.]
“Please!”
Everyone focused on the log records on Lucy’s broadcast screen.
When consecutive failure messages appeared, they sighed, and when they obtained a luck coin piece, they gasped in amazement.
As they reacted intensely to the results, my heart raced.
Is this the taste of gambling?
About ten minutes passed.
Finally, the time that felt like it would last forever came to an end.
The chat room was already in chaos.
Whether they were checking the number of luck coin pieces in real-time or starting with spoilers, the contents swung between positivity and negativity.
Even Lucy, who was usually confident, exhaled a short sigh during this time.
And then, it was time to check the results!
– Luck coin piece L: 12
– Luck coin piece U: 15
– Luck coin piece C: 11
– Luck coin piece K: 17
– Luck coin piece Y: 15
Huh? Averaging that out gives us about 14 complete luck coins? The lowest data for those who have challenged myth grade equipment draws has been 15 until now?
The dismal results stiffened the expressions of Lucy and the other staff, including myself.
But that lasted only for a moment.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. After all, the most important thing is the essence synthesis. Let’s think of this as a bad omen.”
“Y-yeah. I’m sure something big will happen in the synthesis.”
“Mayo believes in Lucy unnie.”
Responsibility shouldn’t be foisted onto one person.
And it’s exactly during times like these that mental management is crucial.
However, separate from that, the chat room of Lucy’s broadcast was already pouring out negative results, saying it had already failed.
Half of the viewers are probably from other company fandoms right now.
Pretending to be indifferent, they must be secretly delighted at the not-so-great results.
Using my authority as Lucy’s broadcast manager, I tried to manage the atmosphere in the chat room as best as I could.
“First of all, let’s make five.”
Since Mayo had farmed enough materials, creating the complete luck coins from the essences was quick.
Five Witherlight essences, tinged with gray.
Now it was time for the most crucial last step of gambling, so we had to change locations.
“Where should we do it?”
Normally, enhancement or synthesis work in games is rife with all kinds of superstitions.
For that reason, the (old) Oh-ha Company building where Limiani successfully synthesized only after four tries has become known as a synthesis hotspot.
Conversely, Han-nam-sang, where Akatsuki had a brutal failure, is regarded as the worst place.
“Should we do it on Sky Island?”
“Or in the underground farm?”
Various suggestions circulated among the staff.
Eventually, everyone’s gaze turned toward me, the leader.
I wanted to believe in Lucy until the end.
“Let’s go to the place Lucy unnie likes.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Lucy chose her home in V-City.
Usually, streamers would pick famous landmarks or symbolic places of their companies to create a dramatic atmosphere.
It truly felt like Lucy.
And so, we moved back to V-City.
However, an unexpected intruder interrupted us on the way.
“Haha, I heard you failed to draw the luck coin pieces? That’s not easy, is it?”
It was Oh Young-jun, rumored to have become a bit odd after losing 40 million Lena cleanly.
Not content with just his own misfortune, he absurdly dropped everything to rush over whenever he heard that there would be a myth grade equipment draw.
Such antics strangely drew considerable popularity among the viewers.
After all, the hottest topic in Lena World recently was myth grade equipment.
Combining real-time broadcasts with delightful reactions created a demand for it.
“What? It’s Lucy unnie, not Seoa?”
Oh Young-jun, who had intended to explore my broadcast but noticed Lucy’s screen instead, quickly grasped the situation.
In the meantime, we sequentially entered Lucy’s house.
The design was simple and neat, reflecting Lucy’s personality.
“Hey! No matter how it is, this isn’t the place. This feels a bit dull. Instead, let me recommend a good spot. Challenging it atop Han-nam-sang at dusk under moonlight. How cool would that look?”
“Yeah, I know it’s the place where I spent 40 million Lena.”
Oh Young-jun’s antics were getting annoying, so I snapped at him, and he nearly had a meltdown.
Indeed, if 40 million Lena was involved, that would be quite a substantial amount for a company like Akatsuki.
His mental state must have been quite painful.
“Alright, just stay quiet if you’ve come to watch, okay? Before my temper flares.”
But was that really important right now?
My favorite, Lucy, was at a critical juncture.
Keeping Lucy’s mental state intact was the priority.
“Yes, I will keep quiet.”
When I stood firmly, Oh Young-jun seemed to crumble like a straw, perhaps recalling past traumas.
– I didn’t believe the rumor about Seoa being a bully, but it might actually be true?
– I almost instinctively ran to the concession stand to buy bread.
– Seoa, I’m scared.
After giving a finger to the absurd messages, everyone formed a circle around Lucy.
Oh Young-jun’s blatant attempts to intrude were a bit outrageous, but with over 7,000 viewers in the room, I couldn’t be too harsh.
“If I were to give you a tip as a senior, it’s all about momentum. It’s crucial to quickly try instead of hesitating. You’ll eventually get a feel for it in between. Ah! It should be happening soon.”
“So, does Akatsuki have any myth grade equipment?”
“…”
Leaving Oh Young-jun to wilt under cruel facts, everyone focused back on Lucy’s broadcast.
“Can I… really do this?”
With the poor performance in drawing the luck coin pieces, her confidence seemed severely diminished.
We each tried to encourage Lucy in our own ways.
“Lucy, hang in there. Even if it fails this time, you won’t get nicknamed ‘Kengni-kengni’.”
“…”
Starting with self-deprecating support.
“Make sure you draw the myth grade equipment I will use, and be careful. As long as you draw before hitting the ceiling, I’ll let it slide.”
Already, some were acting like they were the owners of the equipment.
“If it fails, I’ll join you in the d*ath two-shift work to recover.”
With a dull tone, Na-roshi expressed his confidence, saying that much was perfectly possible.
Han A-yeon and Miho also cheered for Lucy with all their might.
“I feel a bit embarrassed since it’s the last time. Even if it fails, it won’t be unnie’s responsibility, so don’t feel burdened. I was going to do it originally, but I lacked confidence in such draws. However, if you’re really feeling pressured, someone else can do it…”
“Yeah. It’s okay. I’ll do it.”
That was a rare show of directness from Lucy.
With a determined expression, Lucy pulled out the blacksmith workbench and placed the Netherite ingots and Witherlight essences in their designated spots.
“Then… here I go.”
There was no hesitation.
With a resolute voice, she clicked the mouse.
A sparkling effect filled the screen.
And the result?
