Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 78
Episode 78: Proof
The first CK for virtual streamers.
Before the regression, the buttpicking viewers were truly invested in virtual.
They were determined to establish a virtual panel on Pangea TV by any means necessary.
They put in a tremendous amount of effort.
Even if they had different main bases, when they heard that a virtual streamer applied to participate in a large project, they would all rush to hit the up button.
They held logs to keep the viewers engaged and collectively contributed to funding to instill the perception that including virtual streamers was beneficial.
Thanks to that, Orikung, who participated in MCK for the first time, received several nicknames.
For example, Orijar Bank and Kung Min Bank, etc.
Though unable to play games, the amount of funding they brought was a metaphor that made it easy to take advantage of in CK.
In other words, from the perspective of human streamers, it was a clear ‘Did a fool come?’
After that, the buttpicking viewers worked hard together.
Baio, too, showed an undeniable amount of funding while doing CK, and gradually, as the candy powers of virtual streamers, including Park Nana, began to gain rumors, human streamers started to change their views.
“Oh? This virtual thing can make money?”
“I should get closer to them?”
That was when it began.
Human streamers actively approached the virtual panel.
The viewers were also insistent.
Bored of seeing the same picture repeatedly, they were the first to demand it.
If they were going to do MCK, they should definitely include at least one virtual streamer.
At first, there was resistance towards virtual streamers, but gradually, through consistent exposure, they became accustomed to it without realizing.
The pinnacle of this change in perception was Lena World.
In the server, human and virtual streamers mingled without distinction.
No longer were virtuals on the outskirts as the minority.
This was the course of history.
“In a way, I’m adorning that first button.”
It was the moment when I, as the first virtual streamer, would meet a big company streamer.
And it was with Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, who was called ‘King’ due to his high stature.
If I mess up here, the perception of virtual would plummet.
For a while, virtual streamers wouldn’t even attempt to participate in CK.
It was that important, and I was prepared.
[Virtual Like has sponsored 1,000 candies for the challenge mission.]
[Buttpicking Viewers has sponsored 150 candies for the challenge mission.]
[One Sheet Waste has sponsored 200 candies for the challenge mission.]
“Guys, hold on a moment. Stop the sponsorship!”
The buttpicking viewers, starting their contributions for the revival of virtual panels.
But I stopped them.
The viewers were confused.
At the same time, the sponsorship amounts from other streamers began to rise rapidly.
My ranking plummeted to the bottom in an instant.
In that moment, a voice from another streamer came through Discord.
“Seo-Ah-nim, it’s a bit awkward to say this on our first meeting, but do you happen to have a boyfriend? Your sponsorship is too low.”
An intentional jab.
A comment mixed with sincerity and joking that made my viewers emotional.
It was a skill to provoke rooms with low sponsorships in CK to induce candy.
I briefly turned off Discord and focused the viewers.
“I am new to CK, but I know how precious candy sponsorship is. Accepting it without giving my best feels wrong.”
Before the regression, there were many negative perceptions about CK regarding virtual streamers.
Human streamers, by any means possible, do songs, dances, and all kinds of tricky shows to bring in funding, while virtual streamers merely ask for small amounts of funding.
Of course, not all were like that.
Some would sing songs, deliver cute lines, or wear full trackers and dance.
However, such appearances came too late.
After all, for many virtual streamers who were recent additions, CK was an unfamiliar culture.
Thus, they naturally earned the image of being ‘cheap.’
“No way am I cheap to you.”
I knew this fact, so as soon as the possibility of passing MCK appeared, I sought help.
While I could tolerate ‘rich’, I absolutely could not accept being seen as ‘cheap’.
I declared to the viewers.
“I will do my best for those sponsoring me. I will never just coast along. If you appreciate our efforts, please consider sponsoring even a little.”
-Oh… the mindset is there, but why is it ‘our’ effort? Isn’t it just you?
-You’re not trying to ride the bus with your teammates, are you? Haha
-Is something big coming?
While leaving the viewers in doubt, I found ‘Lucy’ in Discord.
She was waiting with the screen-sharing function on.
“Hello, I’m Lucy, the pigtail girl of the V-Live Crew. I’m here to support the leader’s first CK. Though my skills may be lacking, I’ll sing a song so everyone watching has a fun broadcast.”
Lucy’s song was incredibly emotional and even more melancholy that day.
Moreover, my hand wasn’t finished yet.
“Ah?! Is it already my turn? Hi, hi! I’m Miho, the sexy Gumi-ho who’ll grab your hearts. Oops… Do you want to stay for some ramen?”
The sexy, cute lines parade following Lucy’s song.
Just as viewers might be getting dull, I swiftly hand it off to Mayo.
“You perverts. Is it good to act like that towards a high school girl? You beasts!”
The cute lines segueing into an insult.
Indeed, sweet and salty is the rule of the land.
The viewers were taken aback by the unexpected repertoire but quickly became immersed and laughed.
“Good. It’s a success.”
I didn’t call in the crew members for nothing.
While it was to provide a variety of spectacles in CK, more importantly, it was to expose crew members in such a significant position.
Look at this.
At the start, viewer numbers were around 3,000, but suddenly, they shot up to 4,800 due to word of mouth.
Moreover, there were several individuals from the same CK members who were checking on me.
Considering their viewer numbers, our V-Live Crew was enjoying tremendous promotional effects.
-It’s good, but why is Seo-Ah doing nothing? Haha
-Wow! Seo-Ah, draining the crew members dry!
-I remember when the crew recruitment interview content had a title like ‘Family,’ just like family!
“Guys, that’s mean. I was preparing. The main character traditionally makes their entrance last.”
While grumbling to the viewers, I successfully finished setting up and donned the head part of the full tracker.
I started with a fanservice performance of ‘Fan Song’ meant to please the buttpicking viewers.
It received huge praise during the immigration content.
Without stopping, this time I showcased Zero Two’s dance for the Pangea TV natives.
-Woah, what is this? Were you guys just watching something this good with a virtual?
-This is really generous! I’ve never been in a room with so much to see during CK. Out of conscience, I feel like I should sponsor at least 100 candies.
-Did they say it’s a bra crew? The charm here is bursting! Haha
-Haha, how did the crew name become bra?
“Excuse me, it’s V-Live. Please be careful with your pronunciation.”
After successfully finishing Zero Two, I swallowed a slightly heavy breath and returned to the challenge mission screen.
Seo-Ah Team (55,860 candies) VS Buck Minam Park Bong-sik Team (80,339 candies)

MCK – [136,199 candies]
And then I turned Discord back on.
“Wait, someone’s trying to take away the 130,000 CK with 3,000? Hah, this is truly an MCK permanent removal. No? I’m going to blacklist this person right away.”
The timing was exquisite.
It seems there was a great deal of criticism towards me.
Buck Minam Park Bong-sik was raising his voice in great agitation.
Whether real or an act was indistinguishable.
“Please, everyone! If you liked our efforts for funding!”
Because reactions poured in one after the other, the viewers had no timing to sponsor.
Now was the time to show off explosive firepower.
“Really, this person needs to be taught a lesson. Virtual? I’ll go in and confirm myself.”
The moment Buck Minam Park Bong-sik couldn’t hold back and entered my broadcast to investigate.
[Mr. Boston Seo-Ah sponsored 2,000 candies for the challenge mission.]
[Mr./Ms. Seo-a’s House Is On Fire sponsored 2,000 candies for the challenge mission.]
[Seoa Broadcast sponsored 3,500 candies for the challenge mission.]
[Please Coin sponsored 5,000 candies for the challenge mission.]
Messages began to flood in wildly.
The fervent fans’ high-value sponsorship messages caught the eye, but numerous small sponsorships from regular fans or nomadic viewers also continued flooding in without end.
Did it take around 20 seconds?
With an overwhelming momentum, the challenge mission candy surpassed 20,000.
Buck Minam Park Bong-sik, who came into the broadcast just then, was startled, exclaiming loudly.
“W-What is this? Huh? Is this for real? Is there actually something like Bitcoin for virtual? How is this possible? In the blink of an eye, it’s gone past 20,000…”
A heavy sponsorship message fell once again above Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s stuttering head.
[Seo-Ah’s Pouch sponsored 10,000 candies for the challenge mission.]
“What? Huh? Is this a prank? How could this….”
The time it took for me to go from last to first was barely 20 seconds.
From Buck Minam Park Bong-sik’s point of view, unaware of the long buildup, it must feel like being the subject of a Truman Show.
“Did the chairman really sponsor 10,000?”
My heart raced at this unexpectedly large sponsorship.
But I couldn’t let such surprise pass me by.
I immediately grabbed the mic and said.
“Now, who’s getting expelled? Huh? Mr. Park Bong-sik, under 30,000?”
“Uh, well….”
“Bongsik, it’s me, your sister. Let’s do well from now on, okay?”
“….”
In the Pangea TV CK version, the one who brings in much funding is king.
So I proved it.
