Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 303

Episode 303: Sleepover?

Streamers are self-employed.

Of course, as the scale of broadcasting has increased, there are cases where some hire staff and establish corporations due to issues like taxes or costs, but that is just the case for a few popular streamers.

Essentially, streamers are self-employed and have always been workers rather than wage laborers.

For that reason, I think of streamers as self-employed individuals.

This leads to even more concerns.

What percentage of the entire population in our country is self-employed?

In the 1960s, it peaked at 37% and has steadily declined to around 19% recently, breaking through the 20% barrier, but it is still relatively high compared to the OECD average.

What does that mean?

It means internal competition is extremely fierce.

It’s not for nothing that news reports constantly say that self-employed individuals are struggling.

In fact, it’s the same for streamers.

Compared to other self-employed businesses, the startup costs are lower, and since those who challenge themselves are relatively young, they don’t stand out even if they fail and later find re-employment elsewhere. However, if we look at the closure rate of streamers, they would rank among the highest in terms of industries.

No one can deny the fact that the streaming community is becoming an increasingly red ocean.

“That’s right. In the end, it’s impossible for streamers to succeed with just broadcasting talent.”

In fact, this applies across all fields.

No matter how exceptional the talent, without environmental factors or efforts to support it, it can collapse overnight in a harsh society.

Show me fresh content with outstanding talent.

Before it can be reused, similar copycats pop up in the streaming community.

“Even before my regression, it was like this. When a popular avatar or outfit came out, everyone immediately followed suit. When the style of broadcasting that obsessed over fans became popular, copycats openly chased after it.”

So, having only a dazzling talent has its limitations.

To achieve something with that alone, there are not only privileged classes but also competitors like hyenas lurking around.

“So, what’s important is ultimately the details. Even if you try to follow the material with an ironclad approach, you can’t replicate internal mechanisms or detailed flows.”

For a simple analogy, it can be likened to genre novels.

When sports or entertainment stories hit big, everyone rushes to chase popular themes.

However, not everyone can gain popularity.

Even if writers use the same material, each writer’s “details” end up being different.

These can consist of narrative skill, a dedicated serialization cycle, unimaginably fast updates, and friendly communication with readers.

It’s the same for streamers.

Even if they do the same content, there must be unique differences.

Furthermore, on important days like Valentine’s Day, there should be special sales points.

Of course, I didn’t have any colossal idea that was incredibly special and that no one had ever attempted.

The current streaming community is, after all, too saturated.

There are dozens or even hundreds of pieces of content related to Valentine’s Day.

“But as I said, what matters is the details.”

Times have changed.

The content might have already been chewed up like old bones before, but that was merely the picture shown by existing human female streamers.

What if a virtual streamer showed it instead?

Moreover, to stimulate everyone’s interest, I attached some mechanisms in advance.

Based on my four years of experience as a gallery member, I was sure it would succeed.

“This will ring alarm bells for female streamers who only consider Valentine’s Day an ordinary day!”

Under strict security, that Monday disappeared in an instant.

And finally, on February 14th, Tuesday, Valentine’s Day!

I uploaded the previously prepared announcement.

Seoa & Lucy & Mayo’s Valentine’s Day

We invite you to our joint broadcast.

Today’s broadcast will be divided into Part 1 and Part 2!

Part 1 will start at 3 PM and will continue until the chocolate is complete.

And after the end of Part 1, there will be a slight break before Part 2 starts.

We have rented a nearby baking workshop for chocolate production.

Part 2 will proceed after a brief rest and we will move to my house.

In Part 2, we will have various content to select viewers who will receive the handmade chocolates you’ve been eagerly waiting for.

So please look forward to it.

In case rumors spread that only Miho unnie is excluded and that she’s being left out, I must clarify that that’s not the case!

Miho unnie lives further away in the countryside, so this Valentine’s Day broadcast will be held separately.

I ask for your understanding from Miho unnie’s fans.

See you at 3 PM today!

Puing puing~♡

n So you’ve been leading us on for days saying you’d make chocolates yesterday, and then you pull this on us, lol [up528]

n Wow;; renting a baking workshop to make chocolates, that’s next level ㄷㄷ And of course… you’re going to turn on the cam, right? [501]

n Seoa, don’t forget to write my name and a heart on the chocolate [up427]

The audience’s reactions were overwhelmingly positive.

Viewers who entered through Minecraft were still used to watching human streamer broadcasts, so they were excited anticipating at least a half-cam, and the buttpicking viewers, who can be considered core fans, were delighted at the rare crew content.

Moreover, the fact that we rented a baking workshop just before Valentine’s Day was more than enough to satisfy everyone.

It wasn’t just the viewers who were enthusiastic; it was clear that the streamer was just as sincere.

“This is what details and sales points are all about. You can’t move ahead by being similar to others.”

In fact, similar broadcast formats have already been displayed several times by female streamers and visible radio streamers.

But the key is that this was the first time among virtual streamers!

Additionally, while the material may be similar, I am confident that the details shown in the broadcast will be completely different.

“Each has its own distinct characteristics. Lucy unnie and Mayo are both…”

I was the most ordinary one among them.

Still, as the leader and host of the crew, I had plenty of opportunities to stand out, so I wouldn’t be overshadowed.

“Are you all ready?”

“Yeah. I’ll contact you before we leave.”

“#%@%※℗!”

While I was talking to Lucy, I could hear Mayo mumbling in the background as if trying to interject.

As mentioned before, when we met offline last time, I found out that Lucy lived within a 30-minute distance from me.

In contrast, Mayo, while still in Seoul, lives at the opposite end, in Eunpyeong-gu, so she said she stayed at Lucy’s place the night before.

Is she daring to sleepover with Lucy before me?!

I tried to come up with all sorts of reasons to block Mayo’s arrival, but the bond between the two had already become too strong to stop.

Almost like a mother and daughter?

Although there’s only a six-year age difference, the synergy effect from mature Lucy and childish Mayo created that dynamic.

Seoa [Anyway, it’s absolutely forbidden for the two of you to sleep in the same bed! Mayo should just spread a blanket on the floor.]

Lucy [It’s fine. Mayo is so small that if I hug her, we can both fit on the bed.]

That’s exactly the problem!

I passionately argued, but my words fell on deaf ears.

No, rather, it seemed like mayo had caught on to my intentions, much to my dismay.

Mayo [Photo – Emotional hug with Lucy unnie]

Mayo [Lucy unnie is taller than I thought, and I unconsciously hugged her tightly. So only my back shows in the photo.]

Seoa [@#$%&!]

I’m going to get that little rascal!

How dare she pull such obnoxious behavior… that was clearly a planned provocation.

I’ll remember that photo and make sure to retaliate.

“Alright then, let’s take out the ingredients….”

If Lucy and Mayo were ready, it was my turn.

Most of the ingredients had already been moved to the rented baking workshop, but I still had a lot to prepare for this special broadcast.

For instance, outfits that would satisfy the audience’s needs.

A few days ago, I had placed an order and when they arrived, I was mortified trying them on by myself.

It really made me realize that being a female streamer isn’t something just anyone can do.

You need both the boldness to suppress your embarrassment and the mental fortitude and sense to smoothly handle mischievous chats.

Anyway, regardless of anything else, I had confidence in my audacity.

Working my way up from the bottom in a company naturally cultivates such abilities.

As I checked the embarrassing attire in the mirror, I mentally reaffirmed to myself.

I’m a professional.

What I’m trying to do in this outfit isn’t to charm men, but to “work.”

“…….”

Alright. Mind control session complete!

I stepped out of the house with a confident stride, gathering my supplies.

“Wait? Speaking of which, this is the first time I’m meeting Mayo offline today?”

I had completely forgotten considering how much she always acts like a goofball.

Will I really be able to smoothly conduct today’s broadcast?

It feels like there will be unexpected developments.
