Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 289
Episode 289: 300 million Lena and the Upcoming Valentine’s Day
Monday, February 6th.
In Lena World and beyond, a significant time was approaching for female streamers.
That time was, of course, Valentine’s Day on February 14th.
Historically, alongside birthdays and Christmas, it has been one of the most important “peak times” for female streamers.
“I may think I’ve earned a lot, but money is always insufficient. Moreover, the income of streamers isn’t stable. When there are plenty of fluctuations like in Lena World, it’s essential to earn as much as possible.”
Before the regression, there were many virtual streamers making over 200,000 to 300,000 per month during the height of Lena World.
Among them, there were quite a few who were under the illusion that such a climate would last forever.
However, the fluctuations of a large server are ruthless.
As soon as Lena World ended, most of the streamers returned to their original bases or left for the next dopamine rush.
The number of viewers and Candy sponsorships plummeted, and those who had grown complacent had to face a crisis soon.
“A profession like a streamer, where income isn’t consistent, requires constant consideration of the future. Many young friends often overlook this fact.”
Therefore, I frequently emphasized this reality like nagging to younger crew members such as Mayo-na and Lucy.
After starting Lena World, I did the same with Han A-yeon and Na-roshi.
Though connections may become a bit distant after the server ends, I still hope everyone who participated does well.
Anyway, I digressed, but since the Valentine’s event is a very important day for female streamers, I also emphasized this to the company staff in advance.
I instructed them not to take it lightly and to prepare with due care.
To facilitate this, I adjusted Lena World’s schedule.
Now that we have 300 million Lena, we need to create a more flexible working environment.
Honestly, I couldn’t keep hating Bluebee like that since we can’t maintain similar methods forever.
At least I need to show this level of differentiation.
“Mayo will start training for League of Legends in preparation for the destruction battle from today. No one can stop Mayo!”
“…….”
No, I meant to prepare for the Valentine’s Day event!
Mayo tried to insist that viewers didn’t expect that kind of thing on her stream and wanted to stick only to League broadcasts, but I pulled her into the Reality Room and calmly educated her.
Even female streamers doing crazy cam broadcasts have their loyal fan bases, so what kind of nonsense is that?
“But Mayo doesn’t know how to make chocolates at all. I’ve never done it in my life.”
“I haven’t either. But still, I like seeing you making an effort.”
I don’t expect perfection from streamers.
I feel joy when I see the attitude or heart they show in trying for their fans.
Mayo reluctantly acknowledged my point.
There are plenty of reference materials scattered across YouTube and blogs, so with a little effort, making chocolates shouldn’t be that difficult.
“From now on, you only need to work for the company for two hours a day. The construction team will handle the building, and the mining team will now shift to agriculture and cooking.”
“Eh? Will that be alright? We’re already short on staff as it is.”
“Yes, for now, we have enough financial flexibility. If it really feels tough, we can extend the working hours again. For now, just try to enjoy this like it’s a vacation.”
Although some discussions had already taken place in the group chat, the staff and the fandom of V-Live Company were surprised by the unexpected decision.
There were worries about falling far behind because of this.
“Hey, don’t worry too much. What we’re doing now is ‘broadcasting’. We’re not playing a cutthroat game fighting for first place.”
Let’s focus on broadcasting instead of playing games.
In fact, comparing our past actions, this might sound utterly unreasonable.
Until now, we’ve been striving hard to fight for the top spot.
But isn’t this a sign of the privilege of those who have?
Now that we have 300 million Lena, there’s no need to scramble to be at the forefront.
Most of the fluctuating audience that enjoys that kind of struggle has already headed to Owang Company.
The social perception mirrors this as well.
The audience of live streaming shows is fundamentally male.
Even if a female streamer fiercely competes, achieving good results often turns negative in terms of image.
Of course, there are fans of such a tendency, but on average, it’s not a style that most men in our country would favor.
Huh? Am I being too calculative?
If it were just a hobby for broadcasting, it wouldn’t matter if I received criticism like that.
But as a professional broadcaster who does this as a ‘career’, I think it’s necessary to make efforts to meet even a little bit of the audience’s needs.
Even if those actions seem calculative, if they lead to what fans want and make them happy, isn’t that much better than mindlessly repeating ‘Hakkoh’ behavior?

Thinking about the upcoming Valentine’s Day, I’m going to challenge myself to make chocolates starting today!
For our beloved Seo A-dan,
I’ll be searching for videos all day on YouTube and checking out famous blogs to put in my best effort!
Hehe, doesn’t Seo A seem quite impressive?
So, on February 14th, Valentine’s Day, don’t forget to tune in to Seo A’s broadcast!
I’ll prepare handmade chocolate products that I made myself and gifticon tokens to share with the fans, so it’s a promise with Seo A~♥
“Don’t forget to come and sponsor ‘214’ tokens on Valentine’s Day! I am a professional interpreter of Seo A. Currently pursuing my PhD. [up478]”
“Just yesterday, you were wildly swinging a sword and frying pan in the arena, and now you’re acting all feminine? Are you a scammer? [up436]”
“It’s really touching ㅠ The effort of practicing in advance for the fans. The chocolates will surely taste good too! (Please deposit in Nonghyup.) [up 401]”
“…….”
Anyway, these playful ones.
In truth, they’re all fidgety wanting chocolates and pretending to be aloof.
I calmly made a plan.
I’ll finish and package the chocolates by Monday the 13th and do the Valentine’s Day commemorative broadcast on the 14th.
It’s a slightly random thought, but I’ll probably wrap up my stocks in Pangea TV around that time.
I remember that it started to decline after that.
“First, I need to check how much the earnings are.”
It seems like it’s about time to consider the moving situation.
Honestly, the current environment is making soundproofing uncertain, which limits late-night broadcasts and makes using Full Tracker difficult.
I must increasingly highlight the virtual aspects to differentiate myself from other streamers, but the limitations of the environment here make it challenging…
“Speaking of which, what does Lucy think about this?”
I recalled the suggestion I made to Lucy last time.
Coincidentally, I was thinking of moving, and Lucy mentioned she had heard it was unsafe for a young woman to live alone in her family home.
Therefore, I thought I made a very reasonable suggestion at the time.
If we share the rent, we could move to a better-condition place.
However, looking back after some time, I felt my face turn quite red.
To put it bluntly, that is living together.
Of course, I am biologically female now, so there shouldn’t be any social issues.
“I might have spoken too easily as I don’t have any experience living together.”
Anyway, I already made the suggestion, and the ball was now in Lucy’s court.
Honestly, I did have some expectations.
If we could live together, I could provide a lot of feedback regarding the broadcasting aspects.
It would allow for the collection of more detailed information about why Lucy did the switching before the regression.
“Um, I’m thinking positively about it. But it’s my first experience too.”
“…….”
There’s a shy tone in the voice coming through the receiver.
Yeah, it’s my first time too.
Oh? Then it’s both our first times. If that’s the case…
“Get away, you rascal!”
Good thoughts, good thoughts, good thoughts!
Let not my pure fan feelings toward Lucy be misled.
Anyway, I decided to give this a thought soon.
To be honest, I cannot say that there are no burdens on me, so I need to respect that decision fully.
I have plenty to worry about as it is.
From today, the enjoyable life in Lena World with 300 million Lena began.
