Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 288

Episode 288: Wrapping Up the First Week of February

Buck Minam Park Bong-sik was one of the streamers who genuinely represented Pangea TV.

He stood out even among the big company streamers, earning the title of the King of Pangea TV.

However, upon returning from his long-term hiatus, he faced an unexpected crisis: the discontent of his fandom expressed through their disappointment over the tragic results in the arena.

In fact, it was understandable why the fans felt that way.

After all, he had been on a long hiatus for nearly a month.

Drifting around Lena World, the fans anxiously awaited Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s return to broadcasting.

While enjoying Akatsuki’s story, they also expected that when Buck Minam Park Bong-sik returned, he would show them something significantly awesome.

They were impressed by V-Live’s Purge Day Threefit and were confident that if it was Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s company, they would achieve even greater accomplishments.

That’s why, as soon as MuYang Group was formed, they collectively sponsored 430,000 funding for Diamond CK, setting an astonishing record of 1.4 million for the construction funding in Munasthiris.

All of this was an expression of the anticipation for Buck Minam Park Bong-sik and the company led by him.

But what has been revealed so far?

Despite showing fans a version of the unique leadership typical of big company streamers through serious meetings with the company staff, there was no noteworthy performance at all.

The 4th Purge Day? The winner was Owang Company, and V-Live Company benefited from the image photo sabotage.

A company possessing two myth-grade pieces of equipment for the first time in Lena World?

Instead, it became a source of ridicule after a total collapse in the arena.

How poor could the control be that they fell so early, even while possessing two myth-grade pieces of equipment?

As laughter poured in from other fandoms, that was bound to tear Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s fandom into shreds.

To anyone watching, it was an utterly shameful result with no room for excuses.

In the end, signs of defection began to show even among Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s casual fans.

Having been in the streaming community for a long time, he was not oblivious to this shift.

He hurriedly returned to the Hanok Village and called for a company meeting.

While he felt a great disappointment, he could not resist holding the meeting.

As he noted down that he had a significant announcement to make during the meeting, fans, including d*e-hard supporters and casual viewers, began to flock in.

“Come on, what was the reason for our defeat today? Let’s analyze it.”

– “The reason for the defeat is you, you pink pig! You thought holding Blazerlight would be any different without control?”

– “But honestly, a battleground like this is one that Owang Company can only win, right? With so many Battleground Enthusiasts, we only have one male streamer, and that’s Bong-sik.”

– “Forget Owang Company; we’re completely helpless against V-Live Company, which has only female streamers, haha.”

In fact, it was clear why they faced the worst results today even without a meeting.

While competing companies were diligently training for PvP, they had been overly optimistic and complacent.

The performance of the myth-grade equipment was lower than expected.

Moreover, considering the current situation with only female streamers, it would be incredibly difficult to defeat Owang Company.

“Right? Honestly, it’s myth-grade equipment, but the current performance is just absurd.”

Among these opinions, Buck Minam Park Bong-sik focused on the latter.

Highlighting their complacency as the main reason would be akin to asking fans to throw stones at themselves.

Reluctantly, they could only blame the balance or operation of the server.

“That’s right. This isn’t just us saying it; even Sunny Moon and V-Live Company would agree. We invested such a hefty amount in getting this equipment, and the current performance is just unacceptable.”

Limitani, Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s right-hand, also actively supported this opinion.

Either way, if MuYang Group wanted to stand against Owang Company in the future, winning through control alone was not the answer.

Over there, the Battleground Cartel members were swarming.

Ultimately, the only way was to overwhelm them with specs, which required an improvement in the performance of the myth-grade equipment.

– “Honestly, that’s the right thing to say. If we’re spending tens of millions on equipment, who would pull out anything if it’s no different from Netherite?”

– “For real, myth-grade equipment really needs to have improved performance.”

– “But even if the performance is boosted, Bong-sik’s controls are so poor that he won’t be able to do anything, so he should just remain as the cheerleader.”

Initially, the fans showed their anger, but as the meeting progressed, they began to be persuaded.

The reason they expressed their fury was that they genuinely wanted the company they supported to succeed.

If there was hope for improvement in myth-grade equipment performance, there was no reason not to support that direction.

“We’ll have to use our recommendation rights. Haven’t we saved them without using them?”

“Yeah, I was saving them just in case.”

“Alright, then let’s draft a male streamer with great control.”

MuYang Group still had the recommendation rights that Lena World had distributed to the heads of each company.

Buck Minam Park Bong-sik vowed to recruit a remarkable talent for his fans to ensure they would redeem the disastrous results in the next arena.

– “Ha… I’ll trust this one more time. If it happens again, then you know?”

– “What about Esna or Twang? I feel like both would do fantastic if they joined.”

– “That’s true, but in the future, three male team compositions should be banned, haha. Seriously, that’s just balance cheating.”

The sentiment had shifted from outrage to leaning towards Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s views.

The community was already in an uproar.

The Mu-jeossi were finally unleashing their full power and rampaging.

In fact, the fact that myth-grade equipment was underperforming compared to its cost was a reality, hence the quick response from public opinion.

“Really? Well, I did conduct some tests, but if power inflation happens too rapidly, it could cause problems here and there…”

Lena World was the most flustered by the sudden public opinion surge.

They believed the first round of the battleground they planned to substitute for Purge Day ended successfully, but suddenly, viewers were flooding in with chats discussing the issue.

Most of them were pointing out the poor performance of the myth-grade equipment.

In fact, this problem had not emerged today for the first time.

During the last Purge Day when the myth-grade equipment was updated, Tunyang was defeated in a 1:1 match by Oh-ha, and rumors had been circulating.

Questions arose about the myth-grade equipment being insufficient.

However, at that time, it was just Tunyang alone, limiting the sample size with no clear chance for validation.

But this battleground confirmed things definitively.

If control is good, you could easily defeat myth-grade equipment using Netherite gear.

This made it unavoidable for Lena World, who had grandly advertised the emergence of myth-grade equipment during its update, to feel the pressure.

“I understand. I’ve also been considering this issue, but I will listen to the streamers’ opinions more and actively reflect them.”

The demands from the flood of viewers weren’t just limited to that.

It seemed as if the events in this battleground served as a catalyst, with viewers spilling their thoughts.

– “Please diversify the money-making methods. Everyone’s just mining for cash; there are 20 or 30 streamers all mining in the Minecraft category… Is that how it should be?”

– “For real, and how much diamond has been mined on the server? The efficiency isn’t showing up; you have to start at least 20 or 30 minutes further back, haha.”

– “Other Minecraft servers have monster raids and stuff, but doesn’t Lena World have those?”

“……”

In fact, diversifying money-making methods was also a concern for Lena World.

However, they were delaying the plans, worried that if money was too easily made, the access rate to Lena World might drop.

But now, with the emergence of myth-grade equipment, the narrative had shifted considerably.

Myth-grade equipment was in a category that one couldn’t even dare challenge with a regular amount of money.

Naturally, it was expected that a significantly larger amount of currency would be consumed compared to before.

This meant that they no longer had to worry about a decline in access rates even if they made money-making opportunities a bit more generous.

“I understand. I will discuss this with the operations team as quickly as possible and reflect it in updates.”

– “Wow! Lena World is divine!”

– “Yes, this is it~ Are we finally escaping from the everlasting mining hell? Can we see other screens now?”

– “I love you, Lena World~ Milky-white Lena World~”

Following the successful debut of the battleground content and the promise of consecutive updates, public sentiment soared endlessly.

It was truly the embodiment of Icarus’ land.

‘Thank goodness. This means I don’t need to do anything more.’

Watching all these scenes unfold, I could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The main current of history flowed without changing.

It was indeed a long-feeling conclusion to the first week of February.
