Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 279

279th Episode: The Beginning of the Legend

All the money was entrusted to Lucy.

With the request that we just need to bet on our victory.

By now, they should be overlooking the arena from the audience seats on the first floor with the other participants.

Lena Land: [Then, let’s introduce today’s participating companies and selected members. Everyone, pay attention.]

[Company Individual Competition]

MuYang Group – Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, Endyu, Hitzume

Owang Company – Mr. Wangko, Oh-ha, Sexy Pig

Sunny Moon – Blackfoot, Tunyang, Hyeon-dana

Akatsuki – Mr. Young-jun, Kkaenam, Mu-yo

Rissel Company – Seolpyo-woo, Ran-chu, Ju-2

V-Live Company – Seoa, Mayo, Na-roshi

[Company Team Competition]

MuYang Group – Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, Limiani, Hitzume

Owang Company – Mr. Wangko, Oh-ha, Su-pi

Sunny Moon – Blackfoot, Aengdu, Hana-mon

Akatsuki – Mr. Young-jun, Kkaenam, Mu-yo

Rissel Company – Seolpyo-woo, Baio, Hanalin-gu

V-Live Company – Seoa, Mayo, Na-roshi

While Lena Land was able to respond to the request for companies with many participants to send out a diverse group, smaller elite companies like ours or Akatsuki faced limitations in this aspect.

Therefore, we had already informed everyone that the same members would participate in both the individual and team competitions.

-Just looking at the members, isn’t Owang Company going to stomp? ㄷㄷ

-The individual competition’s three from the same company is a bit excessive, haha.

-Although Su-pi is included in the team competition, Su-pi is nearly at the level of three from the same company, so the power difference is too severe ㅠ

Public sentiment was already predicting Owang Company’s victory.

In fact, people were more curious about who would take second place.

This atmosphere was not bad.

The streamers would likely be thinking similarly.

This meant that when betting… especially in the finals, we would fall into an overwhelming disadvantage.

‘If I bet 100 million Lena, what would that be?’

Moreover, considering the greatly increased prize money compared to Purge Day, how sweet would the profits be?

And we had a massive crop storage facility built in the corner of the underground farm.

With a large number of hidden Shulker boxes inside.

Thinking about the proceeds from selling these, we would be able to provide each employee with one Mythical-grade piece of equipment.

‘Of course, considering the next arena, pushing equipment to the participating members would take priority. And we must always be cautious about the variables of the ceiling.’

In any case, one thing was certain: if we could properly seize this opportunity, we would earn the right to compete confidently against the company associated with big company streamers as a group of Hako streamers.

Lena Land: [Let me guide you through the sequence of today’s matches. First, the company team competition will take place. The company team competition is a 3v3 match where three teams will be eliminated in the first round, and the three winning teams will advance to the second round. Before the second-round match, we will select a team for the finals through archery, and the remaining two teams will battle it out.]

-Bypassing the finals is a bit frustrating; I think it would be fun to have 1:1:1 matches instead.

-We need to have the company individual competition too, but without byes, it seems like it will end too late, haha. Tomorrow is Monday, and I have to go to work.

-Getting a bye is really a sweet deal; it guarantees the second place prize money!

Lena Land: [The finals of the team competition will take a short break. We will then proceed with the company individual competition in the same manner. Here, there will also be a short break before the finals, and we plan to conduct the finals sequentially after a simple interview.]

There were separate prize money awards for the team and individual competitions.

If both won, that would be a whopping 40 million Lena!

That amount was enough to make each company desperate for the money needed to prepare Mythical-grade equipment.

Lena Land: [Let’s first use a random program to determine the matchups for the company team competition. We will flip the cards, and the companies with the same letter among A, B, and C will compete against each other in the first round. Now, let’s draw. First up, MuYang Group, B has come out. Next is Owang Company. Ah! C has appeared.]

It was a good scenario for MuYang Group and Owang Company to face off in the first round, but it was a slightly disappointing result.

After a moment, the draw concluded, and the finalized match schedule was as follows:

Group A: Akatsuki vs V-Live Company

Group B: MuYang Group vs Rissel Company

Group C: Owang Company vs Sunny Moon

-Really, no matter how you look at it, the left side seems to be all standard matches.

-Group B is completely crazy, haha; MuYang Group has two Mythical-grade equipment, but Rissel has a full set of Diamond equipment except for Seolpyo-woo.

-Group A feels a bit tight, doesn’t it? Still, Akatsuki has two men, so they will definitely win.

Akatsuki in the first round?

Honestly, it couldn’t be considered a good matchup.

In my opinion, looking at the team members for the company team competition, Akatsuki is at least on par with Owang Company.

In fact, they were stronger than MuYang Group.

‘Even if MuYang Group has two Mythical-grade pieces, the Goldenlight sword is essentially no different from Netherite swords in PvP since it’s meant for farming. Plus, it’s not before the balance patch yet. That means there’s a need to dominate Akatsuki with at least one Blazerlight, but looking at the team members….’

Limiani was at an average level, and Buck Minam Park Bong-sik was clearly at the bottom among male streamers.

Rather, the virtual streamer Hitzume would be the one who fights the best among the three.

Hitzume has shown her skills in Minecraft RPGs and war servers afterwards.

In other words, MuYang Group was overestimating the performance of their Mythical-grade equipment.

They weren’t training at all, relying solely on their specifications, unlike Owang Company.

‘On the other hand, Akatsuki has Mr. Young-jun. A four-account Challenger isn’t just a formality. Plus, Kkaenam, despite being perceived as a comic character, is a capable player.’

Mu-yo was also among the top physical performers among virtual streamers.

Based on this future knowledge, the conclusion I drew was that Akatsuki was certainly not an opponent to take lightly.

Of course, our strength wasn’t to be underestimated either.

Right from the start, I possessed the top-level control among female streamers, and Mayo and Na-roshi could also rank within the top five among female streamers in Lena World.

Moreover, considering the specs boosted by two Mythical-grade equipment, against Owang Company, we wouldn’t easily be overwhelmed even in a direct confrontation against Akatsuki.

“From the start, we go.”

“Master, are we going from the start?”

“No. Let’s face Akatsuki head-on first. If things get dangerous, I’ll give orders then.”

“Mayo will take care of everything, so there’s no need to worry about that. Just trust in Mayo.”

“Don’t think about anything else and just remember the plan well.”

Lena Land: [In 10 minutes, the company team match between Group A: Akatsuki vs V-Live Company will start, so please prepare. Also, I will explain the rules once again in case you haven’t reviewed the announcements.]

-Use of consumable items such as food or potions is prohibited.

-Weapons and equipment are permitted regardless of type except for TNT bombs.

-After 30 seconds from the start of the battle, the outer floor tiles will disappear at 10-second intervals, ultimately reducing to a 3x3m space.

-Anyone falling below the arena will be treated as dead.

-The number of arrows for use with ranged weapons is limited to 10 per match.

-After each round, recovery and equipment exchanges are possible.

-Mythical-grade equipment cannot be reused (however, using different individuals in individual and team competitions is permitted).

-Any bugs or peculiar occurrences will be resolved after consultation with the head and server master.

-After the betting time ends, additional betting and refunds are prohibited.

Lena Land: [Now, we will accept bets for 3 minutes starting 5 minutes before the match. 1 for Akatsuki, 2 for V-Live Company. You can place your bet by typing ! followed by the number 1 or 2, or by writing the full company name, then leaving a space and entering your betting amount. Be careful, as if there’s a typo, your bet will not be reflected.]

As soon as Lena Land finished speaking, a flood of chat messages started pouring in from the streamers.

Looking at it this way, it was a bit amusing to think that streamers weren’t any different from their viewers.

Jwisun: [!Akatsuki 5,000,000]

Buck Minam Park Bong-sik: [!Akatsuki 10,000,000]

Kim Hak-do: [!2 1,000,000]

Ami-chan: [!V-Live 2,000,000]

Tunyang: [!Akatsuki 5,000,000]

Park Nana: [!V-Live 500,000]

Hyeon-dana: [!1 3,000,000]

The rapidly rising chat was dizzying.

In the meantime, the figure of Mr. Young-jun, responding swiftly to Park Nana’s action of betting on us while being part of Akatsuki, was evident.

As I kept an eye on the situation, with about 20 seconds left until the betting time finished, I whispered to Lucy to bet 30 million Lena on our victory.

If we splurged 100 million from the start, someone could suspect that we actually had a solid victory strategy.

And it was still the first round, so we needed to take a moderate approach.

Lucy: [!V-Live 30,000,000]

Lena Land: [Oh no! In a situation where Akatsuki was leading by almost double, the betting amount for V-Live suddenly skyrockets! V-Live’s comeback momentum is remarkable. Will V-Live be able to repay this trust? 3, 2, 1, betting closed! Let’s summarize the results.]

-Final Results

Akatsuki: 62,700,000 vs V-Live: 43,000,000

From the 43 million Lena, if we invested 30 million Lena, that’s about 69.76%.

That means if we win, we will take 69.76% of the amount bet on Akatsuki.

‘Calculating that… that’s a whopping 43.7 million Lena!’

Even after subtracting the 1% betting system fee from that profit, it still exceeded 43 million Lena.

Considering we were the underdogs and invested close to 70%, such a gigantic profit was possible.

Of course, that money hadn’t landed in our hands yet.

Right now, the streamers were teasing us about how this is why gambling leads to ruin.

But did they know?

If we won, all of the 62.7 million Lena bet on Akatsuki would change owners.

Lena Land: [Then, the players from Akatsuki and V-Live Company, please open the door to the waiting room and enter the arena. Entry!]

Wow-!

“Let’s go.”

With the enthusiastic cheers, we moved steadily into the arena.

Countless streamers and viewers were focusing on us.

This was the beginning of a legend.
