Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 280

Episode 280: Akatsuki vs V-Live

Pangea TV is one of the two major pillars of our country’s streaming community.

Although the number of users is less than Rabbit TV, it more than compensates with massive operating profits.

With the knowledge of the future, I know.

Ultimately, as Rabbit TV Korea ends its domestic services, before a new competitor arises, Pangea TV will dominate the domestic streaming community.

As a platform of that caliber, the daily concurrent user count is no joke.

On average, it fluctuates between 250,000 and 280,000, and during events like the League of Legends World Championship or important sports broadcasts, it surpasses 500,000.

In fact, on the day of the 2024 League of Legends World Championship semifinals between Gen.G and T1, it achieved 540,000 concurrent users.

However, right now, the number of viewers clustered in the Minecraft category is 110,000.

That means nearly half of the platform’s total viewers are watching us.

Suddenly, I recall my debut broadcast from last September.

I was trying hard to act calm and avoid mistakes, yet I secretly broke into a cold sweat.

It has been the same ever since.

I struggled to attract attention, gathering viewers, and steadily built a loyal fanbase through diverse content and engaging skills.

Still, there were days when it was hard to break free from being a Hako Streamer.

Now, riding the big winds of Ugaidol Audition and Lena World, here I stand.

Alongside my status as the head of a popular company representing Lena World.

“Seoa, I’m going to apologize in advance today. I had vowed to avenge yesterday’s humiliation, but I never imagined we would meet in Round 1 like this. Moreover, I bet 30 million Lena. It would be quite a loss if I fell here.”

Oh Young-jun is already making it seem as though Akatsuki’s victory is a foregone conclusion.

It seems he hasn’t learned from the times he has lost to me.

But such carelessness wouldn’t hurt.

I subtly highlighted Mayo.

“Mayo possesses the Netherite Sword. Overlooking Mayo would be a grave mistake.”

“What! Who do you think you are interrupting adult conversations? Mayo, if you keep acting up, I’ll confiscate your mayonnaise for a month.”

“Y-You can’t take the mayonnaise! Without it, I can’t eat rice!”

Noticing Mayo’s genuine anxiety, I felt that something was off and interjected.

What’s this? Is there a deep story behind the mayonnaise?

In any case, what matters now is to seize the initiative.

“Then I’ll confiscate Uncle Young-jun’s red ginseng candy instead. That sounds fair, right?”

“Hey! I’m not your uncle! And I don’t eat red ginseng candy.”

In response to the grumbling Young-jun, I launched a mental attack using my knowledge of the future.

“But your hair is thinning, right? So, that makes you an uncle, doesn’t it?”

“……”

He has indeed revealed on his stream that he underwent a hair transplant, so he must be in the middle of a shedding phase.

However, my comment unexpectedly backfired.

As Young-jun fell silent, the streamers in the audience began to boo me.

Especially Wangko, who has had many concerns about his hair, took the most active stance.

“Hey! You think you’re not going to lose your hair? You shouldn’t speak carelessly. Seoa, from today, you’re the enemy of 30 million people with hair loss!”

“Ugh! That’s too much, too much. This is almost personal attack.”

“Seoa did cross the line a bit.”

“……”

Before returning, I had no idea that the public opinion regarding hair loss would be this strong.

Young-jun, who had completely deflated, was revitalized by the fervent support around him and pointed the end of his Netherite Sword at me.

“I will not forgive you in the name of hair loss!”

“Grow, hair, grow.”

“……”

Since this has become a situation, I decided to become a definite villain.

***

In the first round team match, our strategy was simple.

Hide information as much as possible and exploit the complacent enemy.

The crux of the strategy was to secretly deploy Blazerlight from the hidden cards.

It was a content that could generate considerable viewership if aired live, but we chose to endure for the sake of winning the arena.

In other words, a sacrifice for the greater good.

Moreover, we had other hidden tactics and secret weapons.

Considering Owang Company’s immense power, a preparation of this level was necessary to confront them…

Lena’s Land [Administrators, are there any issues with the players’ inventories? Okay. Then we will start after a 10-second countdown.]

The operators checked to see if anyone was secretly in possession of any banned items.

This signifies that Lena’s Land values the arena content highly.

However, the operator’s reaction when inspecting my inventory was impressive.

They probably didn’t expect that I had secretly possessed mythic-grade equipment.

Furthermore, I had a rather unusual item as well.

“We’re going with Strategy A. Everyone, stay calm.”

“Okay.”

“Understood.”

Everyone answered easily, but their tense expressions were evident.

With over 110,000 Hako Streamers watching, it wouldn’t be easy to act as usual.

They seemed to be over-exaggerating their worries that if they messed up, the whole broadcast would go down the drain.

‘Of course, if such a thing were to happen, public opinion among the company’s true fans would plummet.’

In any case, confidence was necessary in this situation.

If there were a reliable figure to trust, it would go a long way.

So, I spoke in a low voice.

“Whether we win or lose, it will ultimately be my responsibility, so don’t worry and act with confidence. What does it mean to be a leader? I’ve benefited the most from this fandom, so I will bear the responsibilities too. Don’t worry.”

“Ah…”

“And you will do well. If you play as you practiced, you will win. Everything is according to my plan. Has there ever been a time when my plan was wrong?”

I deliberately raised the corners of my mouth to appear a bit arrogant, eliciting smiles in response.

“No, there hasn’t, Master.”

“Hmph! Mayo isn’t feeling nervous at all, by the way. A 3:1 victory is definitely possible.”

Lena’s Land [Start!]

As soon as the responses came back, Lena’s Land’s countdown finished.

Simultaneously, the members of Akatsuki charged fiercely.

Swish—!

As if waiting for this moment, we lifted our crossbows and began to hold them off.

First, we were provided with ten arrows, so we needed to use them wisely.

Thud—!

“Humph! You thought I’d forget what happened during Purge Day?”

Akatsuki members, having drawn their shields, tightly regrouped as they closed the distance.

I had anticipated this situation upon hearing that the use of all equipment was permitted.

The combination of equipment that can unleash the most powerful combat power in Minecraft is ultimately the sword and shield.

Moreover, in the coliseum, there was no way to keep dodging and repeat long-range harassments like during Purge Day.

The space was limited, and moreover, after 30 seconds, the outer floor tiles would begin to diminish.

“Shield up!”

“Hmph! We also have shields.”

Ultimately, with the existence of shields, the outcome would have to be decided in close combat.

The distance was narrowing rapidly.

The Akatsuki members still wielded swords and shields.

And therein lay the Achilles’ heel.

“Raise axes!”

I swiftly exchanged my sword for an axe.

Without questioning, they immediately followed my orders.

Meanwhile, the Akatsuki members charged in recklessly, without calculating the difference between swords and axes.

“Hmph!”

Clang—!

Young-jun’s opening attack.

His sword clashing against shields was fierce.

“I’ll make sure to face you one-on-one. I wonder how long you can hold out?”

Indeed, his control was overwhelming.

While I was able to strike once, it felt like he struck at least twice.

Is this the physical prowess of a challenger with four accounts?

‘But they need to remember that this isn’t League of Legends; it’s Minecraft.’

Young-jun, Kkaenam, and Mu-yo weren’t particularly knowledgeable about Minecraft.

At least, Mu-yo had some basic skills from playing Minecraft as a child, but that was about it.

Young-jun and Kkaenam were first encountering Minecraft through Lena World.

So, they likely weren’t aware of the unique correlation between axes and shields.

‘It’s simple. Just as swinging a sword to mine blocks has a different efficiency than using a pickaxe, if you use a tool other than an axe to mine wood, you’ll need to swing it at least four times to get any result.’

And Minecraft’s shields are crafted from wood.

They can last relatively longer against swords or other weapons, but the moment they are hit with an axe, their durability diminishes rapidly.

Whack—!

“…!”

The sound of Young-jun’s sword was nothing compared to the blow of the axe.

Noticing an ominous sense from that single strike, his expression contorted.

I smirked leisurely and said,

“I’m also quite curious, just how long you can hold out.”

“Ugh!”

The battle has only just begun.
