Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 285
Episode 285: Owang Company vs V-Live Company
Mr. Lena’s Land [Finally, only the finals for the individual and team matches remain. Huh? It’s really strange. The same matchup is happening in both the individual and team competitions. Could it be that these two companies are the closest to the peak of Lena World? Anyway, it seems to be the case ‘currently.’ So, I hope the other companies will step up their game a bit more. Let’s have a quick interview. First, Owang Company!]
We gathered in the center of the arena.
The microphone first pointed towards Owang Company.
The first question was about their feelings about reaching the finals.
“I really worked hard and expected this result to come as a result of my efforts. And since we’ve come this far, we’ll finish it off nicely. Come on, Owang Fighting!”
“Fighting!”
Next, I asked about their thoughts on the finals opponent, V-Live Company.
“I felt it during Purge Day; they’re not ordinary. Especially, their leader is very capable. A necessary talent in our battleground.”
“…….”
That person tends to say something strange after doing well.
Then, they added praise, saying they hadn’t expected that any company could handle shields as well as they do.
“But we won’t concede victory. Once started, I need to take first place to feel satisfied.”
Wow!
Mr. Lena’s Land [Aha, a strong will not to concede. I heard you well. Now, it’s time for V-Live. You’ve made it here by defeating the formidable MuYang Group and the not-so-easy Akatsuki, one of the strong contenders. Can we hear your thoughts and determination for the finals?]
This time, the microphone pointed towards me.
I replied to the question in a matter-of-fact tone.
“First of all, I’m honored to be able to stand here after defeating such strong companies. As V-Live Company, which achieved the Purge Day threepeat, I want to build a shining golden tower in the arena as well. Although we might be objectively outmatched against Owang Company, victory isn’t determined by just that.”
“Ah, are you confident?”
Barely finishing my words, I heard a playful voice from Mr. Wangko provokingly.
The glances exchanged between us sparked.
***
It was decided to proceed with the finals of the company team competition first.
At that moment, I decided to let go of my desire for double titles and focus on securing the victory in the team match.
‘Using a secret weapon for the team victory would significantly reduce the chances for individual victory. Then there’s no choice but to concentrate on one…’
Before the match began, I informed Mayo and Na-roshi to proceed with Plan B.
Mr. Lena’s Land [Then, the finals of the company team competition! There are only two betting opportunities left. The showdown between Owang Company and V-Live Company! I look forward to your wise choices. Oh! Owang Company is overwhelmingly taking the lead. V-Live also showed a great performance, but was it too much to challenge Owang Company’s stronghold?]
As soon as it started, the betting amount clearly leaned towards Owang Company.
There were a few individuals betting on us hoping for an upset, but they truly were a minority with small amounts.
Everything was going just as I had hoped.
‘But still, you never know.’
I wanted to make an all-in bet but my opponent was Owang Company, the headquarters of a strong battleground cartel.
After pondering for a moment, I whispered to Lucy to bet 50 million Lena.
After all, since the other bets were minimal, just betting that amount could secure most of the profits.
Lucy [!V-Live Company 50,000,000]
Mr. Lena’s Land [Wow, that’s a huge amount! Lucy alone is betting almost half of Owang Company’s betting sum, which has now surpassed 100 million Lena. This certainly represents the entire will of V-Live Company, right? Their confidence is truly impressive. In a situation where they are clearly at a disadvantage, does V-Live Company still believe in their victory? Alright, the betting is closed.]
– Final Results
Owang Company 112,500,000 vs V-Live Company 62,000,000
From the 62 million Lena, our company’s betting amount accounted for 50 million Lena, making up 80.64% of it.
‘This means that if we win this time, we can receive 90.72 million in betting rewards.’
Moreover, considering that the difference between the second place and the first place prize is 10 million Lena, this one match is equivalent to having 100 million Lena at stake.
A definite reason not to lose.
Soon, Mr. Lena’s Land’s countdown began, and we exchanged glances once more to reaffirm our fighting spirit.
“The championship is within reach!”
“Woooh!”
“No, everyone, don’t get too excited and stay calm.”
As the match began, Mr. Wangko led the charge, followed by Oh-ha and Su-pi.
They were more aggressive than I expected.
But this won’t do.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Wangko, let’s fight 1:1.”
“Hmm? Suddenly?”
The three halted, taken aback.
But soon they shook their heads, expressing their refusal.
“We can just fight individually in the company competition anyway. Let’s both come out as fronts.”
“No. I think we need to consider individual matchups for the company competition.”
“Seriously, how annoying.”
“Are you scared?”
“Haha, you’re playing cute. Alright, come at me.”
Regardless of their reactions, all I needed was for them to stall for time.
I thought my provocation had worked, but Mr. Wangko, as if he was now a company streamer, didn’t abandon Oh-ha and Su-pi.
“Pick one on your own. I don’t know exactly what, but I can’t just follow along as you intend.”
“…….”
While I hoped the others would become silent spectators while I faced off with Mr. Wangko, the battle had already resumed.
Oh-ha and Mayo clashed, and Su-pi was entangled with Na-roshi.
Still, my teammates wouldn’t easily be overwhelmed.
When it comes to physical prowess and control in the game, Oh-ha and Su-pi might have the edge, but in terms of experience with Minecraft, Mayo and Na-roshi held the advantage.
Moreover, in Mayo’s case, we had been training together using secrets since the early days of Lena World.
Clang-!
“Where are you looking? Your opponent is over here. And you’re still holding the Spiderlight!”
Mr. Wangko was trying to press me from the start with a combination of sword and shield.
I too was wielding my sword and shield.
An axe is more efficient when dealing with beginners who aren’t familiar with shield usage, but otherwise, a sword is better.
With agile strikes aimed at maneuvering around each other’s shields, I couldn’t help but marvel at how they were shifting distances with ease by crouching and standing up using the shift key intermittently.
Wait, when did they learn such tricks? It’s only the first round of the arena.
“Surprised? After being thoroughly beaten on Purge Day, I diligently searched for YouTube videos and learned. I laughed at it being a game only kids play, but the combat in Minecraft turned out to be more strategic than I thought.”
“…….”
The humiliation I dealt Mr. Wangko when we achieved the Purge Day threepeat must have woken him up sooner than before.
To find such a butterfly effect in a finals where a tremendous amount was at stake was bitter.
Yet, my desire for victory hadn’t diminished in the slightest.
‘Our company’s future rides on this match. We absolutely must win.’
We moved close, attempting a close-combat showdown, with our shields in front.
We maneuvered our characters at tricky angles and bounced away to aim for back attacks.
Swish-!
“Ugh!”
“Hehe, how’s that? Isn’t the Mythical Grade Sword fierce?”
“……”
It seems there is no more room to hide.
As our characters intersected again, this time both attacks landed simultaneously.
Flare-!
“What, what is this?”
But only one person was shocked.
Mr. Wangko stared in disbelief at the flames consuming his upper body.
“Is the Mythical Grade Sword fierce?”
“…… You also had two! How well did you hide them until now?”
The confidence on Mr. Wangko’s face completely vanished.
Our company’s second Mythical Grade Equipment, the Blazerlight Sword, which had been kept secret until now, appeared.
The two Mythical Grade Weapons aimed at each other’s necks, emitting a frightening light.
Mr. Lena’s Land [No way! Amazingly, the Blazerlight Sword has appeared in Seoa’s hands. The second Mythical Grade Equipment secretly hidden for the arena! That ambition is indeed terrifying. Oh, and only 30 seconds have passed. Starting now, the outer tiles will begin to disappear at 10-second intervals.]
I listened to Mr. Lena’s Land’s commentary and quickly grasped the situation.
Following her guidance, the outermost tiles were disappearing.
Also, Na-roshi still seemed nearly even, while Mayo was gradually being pushed back by Oh-ha.
Could Mayo last another minute?
To be honest, I was also slowly being pushed back.
“How about we take a 10-second break as a group?”
“Joking is enough before the match starts!”
They attacked firmly, as if refusing to be swayed by me.
I barely deflected the attack with my shield and slowly backed away.
50 seconds left.
We still had a long way to go.
