Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 300

300th Episode Meeting Convened

Is it said that life is a comedy when viewed from a distance and a tragedy when seen up close?

The scenes I am observing right now are just that.

The land tax that the Lena Government was preparing with a ‘master stroke’ has become even more regrettable.

Such an event is a heavy blow not only to Lenas Land but to the Lena Government as well.

‘Perhaps, after this incident, Anjyeo and Apple Mong will leave the Lena Government and join another company.’

Honestly, these individuals were some of the streamers who contributed the most to Lena World since its early days.

Especially when it comes to discussing Apple Mong’s achievements as the mayor of Lena World and the massive impact they had, it’s redundant to say more.

But looking at their situation now, it’s fitting to say it’s regrettable.

They have worked hard for the public good since the early days of Lena World, yet now, after a big company streamer came in, it seems that only the quick-moving individuals are benefiting from the trickle-down.

Apple Mong and Anjyeo are not the type to boldly seize such opportunities, so they missed out completely.

In the end, they are continuing their public service activities under the Lena Government, but sadly, compared to other companies, there’s hardly any trickle-down.

Anjyeo and Apple Mong are streamers, after all; how could they be without ambition?

That’s why this land tax was so important.

A plan created by Lenas Land and them, thinking hard.

If they could write a great story through this, streamers under the Lena Government could also gain attention.

‘Perhaps that was the plan. But in the end, it completely failed.’

I understand the intention.

And there were efforts and well-prepared plans behind it.

But the Lena Government couldn’t read the current situation, which was the most crucial.

By then, all the viewers and flows had already sided with popular companies led by MuYang Group.

But now, they shout, ‘We’re working hard too, so please watch us more!’ What if that upsets the fandom and streamers of established popular companies?

Even if there are additional measures and a well-thought-out story, it won’t resonate.

There was no reason for the opposing side to listen in the first place.

‘Since the top and bottom have already been established, the Lena Government was overreaching without knowing it. In such a case, the already offended top has no obligation to entertain the Lena Government.’

Eventually, each company expressed their dissatisfaction by smashing their own homes in Seoul before the regression.

Among the big company streamers, Mr. Wangko was the first to act out in genuine frustration.

As a result, cognitive dissonance began to arise among the existing Server Guardians.

Who are the core members of the Server Guardians who mindlessly protected Lena World and Lenas Land?

They were fans of big company streamers, including Buck Minam Park Bong-sik.

Oh? But now, Lenas Land is stirring up controversy with taxes and fighting with big company streamers?

They throw away their masks and rush to tear into Lenas Land.

In response to the unexpected strong backlash, within a day, Lenas Land and the Lena Government declare a significant reduction of the land tax and surrender.

As a result of this incident, Anjyeo and Apple Mong, who have hit a wall in reality, seriously consult with Lenas Land and withdraw from the Lena Government.

They then join Sunny Moon and Owang Company, respectively.

With the two key resources having left, the Lena Government completely lost control, becoming a virtually ineffective public servant group until the end of the server.

This is the result and aftermath of the ‘land tax’ incident before the regression.

Moreover, it was the time when antis of Lenas Land emerged in the community.

Even if they were dissatisfied with Lenas Land’s actions or server operations, they had been wearing masks, but now it feels like they’ve completely tossed them aside.

‘Still, I tried to give some advice since I had received quite a bit of help in this situation.’

Watching things unfold was quite bittersweet.

Unlike usual, this time, Lenas Land completely excluded me from the process, leaving no room for advice.

No, even if I had tried to give advice, they probably wouldn’t have listened.

With the enormous 300 million Lenas flowing into V-Live Company through the arena’s betting, if I suggested reducing the land tax, they would have likely looked at me with suspicion.

Regrettably, it can’t be helped.

I must now do what I need to do.

The cuckoo has been flying around unbelievably for a while now.

– Seo-Ah-nim, is Mr. Bong-sik in the World Chat? I’m looking for Seo-Ah-nim.

– Seo-Ah, it’s been a long time since Mr. Bong-sik went to the Pokémon Center~

– Why on earth are so many cuckoos flying around? Haha, guys, please keep it reasonable.

The karma I had built up long ago for today.

The building I handed over to Buck Minam Park Bong-sik is finally about to shine.

***

“Seo-Ah, over here, come this way.”

“Oh dear, our Uncle Bong-sik. Have you been having a smooth time since your return?”

“What? What’s that? ‘Having a smooth time’?”

“…….”

– Haha, Bong-sik, don’t show your ignorance. Just pretend to understand and nod.

– It’s the first time I’m seeing you since last week’s arena. You should come visit Hanok Village often; the combination of Seo-Ah and Bong-sik is so fun.

– It’s kind of sad that when Seo-Ah gave him a house as a gift, he was thrilled, but now that the tax is due, he’s trying to shift the responsibility right away. Haha.

“Now, guys, stop with the absurdity. Okay? I’ve only been back for fifteen days after my long hiatus; is it reasonable to pay 30 million Lenas for using this house for just fifteen days? And it’s not that I’m saying Seo-Ah should be responsible for everything; I’m just trying to have a conversation, and you’re framing me before we even start!”

“Ah? So then I won’t have to take responsibility, right?”

“Uh, no, that’s not… I didn’t mean it that way… Ahem!”

“Stop it, let’s move on!”

“Hey! I have my own position in this too. Our company has been under a lot of pressure lately, and now you want 30 million Lenas?”

It was certain that not just MuYang Group but all companies were financially struggling due to the myth-level equipment that they had rolled out.

In these circumstances, asking for such a huge sum for land tax made it only natural for streamers to express their dissatisfaction.

‘Especially Mr. Wangko was really furious. He even smashed his own house in Seoul.’

The viewers were thrilled by such passionate actions.

They flocked to protest against Lenas Land and pointed out the unfairness of the tax policy through broadcasts by Lena Government streamers, including Lenas Land.

In the end, the backlash succeeded, and the land tax was reduced to one-fifth of the initial proposal, but the opportunity for the public servant streamers of the Lena Government to stand out disappeared.

‘But was this an unqualified victory for the popular company streamers like Mr. Wangko?’

How narrow-minded Lenas Land is can still be seen in how they are treating the streamers formerly belonging to (former) Lena Universe coldly.

Mr. Wangko is a big company streamer, so no one can casually mess with him, but what about the other streamers who protested at that time?

From this incident on, Lenas Land cooled its relationship with close friends like Akatsuki’s Mr. Young-jun and Kkaenam, even going so far as to subtly disadvantage them in some content.

Is that all?

Following this incident, Apple Mong, who withdrew from the Lena Government and moved to Owang Company, became estranged, leading to a situation where he didn’t even apply for server membership in the upcoming Lena World 2.

Considering Apple Mong’s significance, who accounted for over 50% of the early hype in Lena World, it’s unbelievable.

‘So, getting involved in this matter could definitely lead to provoking the grudge of Lenas Land. It’s really exhausting in life.’

Still, if I hide away in a corner, I would face public backlash.

At least in the viewers’ perception, V-Live Company is one of the top companies in Lena World.

That means there’s a responsibility to raise our voices on such important issues.

So that’s why I have come to seek out Buck Minam Park Bong-sik.

I plan to use Buck Minam Park Bong-sik as a face to somewhat quell Lenas Land’s anger and reach a reasonable proposal to resolve the conflict between both sides.

‘After all, I’m sure there’s a lot that big company streamers and Lenas Land can’t back down from on their own.’

Both big company streamers and Lenas Land, the server master, have an enormous amount of pride.

So I’m sure they are also brainstorming ways to smoothly navigate this incident.

Before the regression, this didn’t happen, leading to chaos in the community, and ultimately it was Lenas Land, which was relatively less established in the streaming community, that yielded, but the rage that followed wasn’t trivial.

“Uncle Bong-sik, let’s convene a meeting.”

“Huh?”

Now it’s time for the behind-the-scenes power player to shine.
