Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 82

Episode 82: I Brew the Broth

“Hello! Traditionally, the color of the ruler of VTubers is blue! And with beautiful ruby-like eyes, it’s Ruby. Combined, I am Bluebee. Nice to meet everyone!”

Finally, the Virtual Streamer Bluebee made her debut on Pangea TV.

After promoting herself on Lucy’s news broadcast, Bluebee turned on her stream to announce her debut as soon as that segment ended.

Looking at the high-quality avatar filling the center of the screen, I felt a slight sting.

‘I shouldn’t have introduced Bebetang.’

Though it was a favor for helping with Lucy’s platform switch, I couldn’t help but click my tongue, wondering if I had unwittingly done a good deed for a competitor.

The blue hair, elegantly expressed down to the tips, and the striking ruby-colored eyes were captivating.

A mini-sized crown tilted slightly to the right adorned her head as a focal point.

“I’m 24 years old! I’m friends with Lucy, who promoted me on today’s news broadcast.”

It struck me anew that she truly had an angelic voice.

My memory wasn’t wrong after all.

Two months ago.

When I first called Bluebee using the number I got through Lucy and heard her voice, I was taken aback.

The voice of the responder was significantly different from the Bluebee I had known before my regression.

For a moment, I questioned whether I had mistakenly dialed someone else, even double-checking.

However, as our conversation progressed, it was indeed Bluebee, leading me to wonder about a few assumptions.

Could it be that she was intentionally using a different voice when broadcasting?

It was only today that I could solve that mystery.

‘It’s not even her real voice, and yet she can speak so naturally.’

Truly an impressive talent.

Despite my dislike for Bluebee, I had to acknowledge her abilities.

Not only was she simply vocalizing, but the Bluebee before my regression also had quite an extensive streaming schedule.

‘I’ve heard it’s quite burdensome for those who don’t use their real voice.’

Yet, without any issues, she maintained that voice until 2025.

A special talent? Or perhaps some tricks up her sleeve?

Setting those curiosities aside, I continued to watch Bluebee’s debut stream, which was immensely successful.

Partly thanks to the promotion on Lucy’s news broadcast, and also because Bluebee had prepared well.

The avatar, which is the face of a virtual streamer, looked fantastic.

Buttpicking viewers simply could not resist such a high-quality avatar appearing in the thumbnail.

Moreover, the thorough preparation of the PowerPoint and materials for her debut broadcast, coupled with her ability to conduct the stream smoothly despite the audience of over 500 viewers, validated her skills.

‘And they call this a debut broadcast? Absurd.’

No one would see Bluebee as a novice.

There was undoubtedly a ‘past’ behind her.

It was a pity that there was no way to prove it.

‘Tsk! For now, let’s focus on internal regulation.’

Though Bluebee was bothersome like a thorn in my throat, she could not be considered a major competitor at this point.

Instead, I had to be more wary of Decrescendo and Pocotin, who were steadily increasing their influence in the V-Live community.

The virtual pie among the streaming community was not large enough for everyone to share generously.

‘I must protect my existing viewers. V-Live isn’t tight-knit yet.’

With the loyalty of fans bolstered after going through the Ugaidol Audition, Decrescendo had quite a formidable fandom, and while Pocotin wasn’t as strong, they had their core fans who followed from LebitTV.

Unfortunately, V-Live lacked in such areas.

Would it be accurate to say fandom wasn’t that deep yet?

Viewers aplenty were not just focused solely on V-Live’s broadcasts but were also scattered across various other crews.

‘Right, I was going to upload Bangsel today. This would be a good chance to set things straight.’

It was time once again to brew the broth.

***

Broth becomes richer the longer it brews.

If we make this the main focus, it would turn into what is commonly known as a “value koi” broadcast.

The advantage of such broadcasts is the immense loyalty of the fans.

In the past, fandoms were considered absolute concrete, unwavering.

Or they would refer to viewership numbers by calling them “30 warriors,” “40 warriors,” and so on.

‘Having many loyal fans is a good thing. However, this type of broadcast isn’t without its drawbacks.’

The characteristic of a value koi broadcast is that it has an incredibly close distance between the viewer and the streamer.

As a result, a culture of hovering around the streamer, like an “Ogu Ogu” (cooing) style, would form, making it difficult for new viewers to adapt to such an atmosphere.

The relationship between existing viewers and the streamer becomes too close-knit, leaving little room for newcomers, who may feel isolated.

With everyone sharing jokes and laughing together, it’s only natural to feel excluded…

Ultimately, such broadcasts find it hard to attract new viewers; without a distinctive feature, they slowly stagnate.

The growth of the broadcast becomes challenging, resulting in slow decay or mere maintenance.

So, is it always good to have the opposite type of broadcast?

Strangely enough, that’s not true either.

A broadcast overflowing with dopamine that is also very accommodating to fluctuating viewers.

This type attracts an audience whenever there’s an intriguing event or good content.

Naturally, visibility and topicality rose.

But popularity like that is often temporary.

Once a replacement emerges or if the content becomes less engaging, viewers quickly scatter.

Many viewers would only watch the broadcast during interesting content while going to other streams in their regular time.

And thus, such streamers end up being classified as “named Hako.”

Streamers that grew on the backs of big company streamers typically fall under this case.

‘There’s no perfect method in this world. Ultimately, what matters is moderation.’

Taking the advantages of each method and minimizing the drawbacks.

That is the ideal that streamers should strive for.

In that sense, today was a good opportunity.

There was naturally a reason to brew the broth.

[(V-Live) Bangsel delivery. Buyers gather!]

#V-Live #Virtual #Newbie #Talk

The Bangsel jobs sold last week had all been completed.

I sent handwritten notes two days ago, and now all that remains is to upload the Bangsels to the broadcast stations of the viewers who purchased them.

‘Right. That’s the key point—viewers’ broadcast stations.’

Though seemingly trivial, the viewers’ broadcast stations were a collection of all sorts of information.

Lists of dedicated fans recorded in the broadcast station.

Photos of Bangsels posted on the bulletin board.

Even someone’s messages left in the guestbook.

Each one was an important clue.

Moreover, having such materials made creating a situation a piece of cake.

“Alright, there are too many buyers, so I’ll go quickly. Is Twinspan here? Knock knock! I’m here to deliver the N-grade Bangsel.”

-Yes! I’m here.

The first delivery went smoothly.

Even so, few fans were those who decorated the broadcast station with Bangsel or reverse fandoms.

But I wasn’t worried at all.

There were still plenty of candidates to choose from.

“Knock knock! Delivery is here. Let’s take a look at our Seo-Ah is Cute’s broadcast station! Huh?!”

And finally, the opportunity arose.

First off, the nickname visible at the broadcast station wasn’t “Seo-Ah is Cute.”

My fan nickname was a decoy subscriber nickname.

The real nickname was “Mu-Yo is a Baby,” and I could find Mu-Yo and Baio in the dedicated fan list.

‘Good. Let’s get started.’

I intentionally rolled my eyes and puffed my cheeks slightly.

A black-haired, red-eyed cute girl avatar wearing a headset looked even cuter than usual.

“I didn’t think of you as cute, but you’re quite the flirt. Your nickname was a decoy too. Tsk! I was being sincere!”

If it gives off too much of a sharp or pressuring vibe, it would backfire.

I had to keep it light, like a romantic rival or a casual female friend being a little jealous.

Along with that, I quickly moved where the screen wouldn’t show and searched for the other person’s ID.

These days, data management is so well done that any streamer can click a few times in the broadcasting data menu and information about viewers comes pouring out.

“I feel like I’ve seen you ten times on my stream this month. You didn’t chat much, but you did donate. But turns out, you were with another girl… Huh!”

-Wow; you remember all of that! You’ve been an absolute tsundere, just fiercely interested in fans.

-I want to watch other broadcasts from today on and receive reverse fandom too! Why don’t you obsess over me? I’m jealous!

-Lol, look at this little rascal, viewers our broth

Intensive attention from the streamer I like?

I absolutely cannot stand that.

Moreover, if I could mention that viewer’s chat content or Candy donations while squeezing out my fading memory, done!

-Did you actually have interest in me?

Unfortunately, this was merely an online version of fishing.

But our poor sucker, unaware of that reality, would become the broth.

The truth is never beautiful.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

‘This isn’t the end. There are still plenty of highlights left.’

Viewers who bought N-grade or R-grade Bangsels can be seen as a starting point to liven up the atmosphere.

In such content, the core is indeed the “dedicated fans.”

They are the major stakeholders holding the largest shares in the streamer’s broadcast.

Just in time, it was time to deliver the SR-grade Bangsel.

The first target was the Vice President, Seo-Ah Broadcast.

“Hmph! I don’t even need to look. A Vice President without any integrity, bragging all over the place.”

-Wow! You’re really saying harsh things, huh? All those are streams I watched a long time ago, and I’m now settled with Seo-Ah. Look at the broadcast station. I’m innocent here.

Seeing Seo-Ah Broadcast’s confident attitude, I wanted to roast her, but first, confirmation was key.

I stormed the broadcast station.

Oh? The main screen looks neat?

Last time, there were Bangsels from other female streamers here.

As I was puzzled, Seo-Ah Broadcast shouted for me to apologize for suspecting her while boasting.

Hmph! Not a chance.

‘Would I have been fooled if I’d actually been a newbie with two months of experience?’

Seo-Ah Broadcast’s trick was simple.

I was able to discover a trove of hidden messages concealed in the corner’s secret bulletin board.

Secret messages refer to posts set to be invisible to visitors.

“And all the modification times are within 10 minutes. Do you still have anything to say?”

-Ah, you’re caught!

“You can have this! Reflect until the end of today’s broadcast.”

I specially gave her a 60-minute chat ban.

As the one who types the most among dedicated fans, it would be quite frustrating for Seo-Ah Broadcast.

[Seo-Ah Broadcast has donated 1,000 Candies.]

“Thank you so much, Vice President! It’s baffling why someone so dignified and socially elevated would do something like that. Let’s not do that in the future.”

-Once again, I was defeated by Money Worn-out today. T_T

Thus, starting with the Vice President, the delivery of SR-grade Bangsels concluded.

Now left was the highly anticipated SSR-grade Bangsel and our broadcast’s chairperson, Seo-Ah’s Pouch.

“Hello, Chairperson! You’re watching my broadcast, right? I hope you’re not watching other female streamers’ broadcasts on the multiview. I believe in you, Chairperson. We even talked about our small wedding. I’m sure you’ve neatly arranged all those popular female streamers’ photos in the broadcast station.”

-Lol, I bet gathering those Bangsels cost over 100,000 Candies. Organizing that is a bit…

-Seo-Ah is a notorious obsessive on Pangea TV.

-Wow; is this management from the Chairperson? I want to be managed by Seo-Ah, especially down below.

[HDhwh215 has been forcibly removed.]

Hmm. 100,000 Candies? Did I cross the line with the organizing bit?

I carefully observed the atmosphere in the chat room while adjusting my comments.

“Well, while organizing might be excessive, I should at least be in charge of the main. Huh? The last time I saw the Chairperson, it wasn’t even a decoy subscriber nickname. I will trust you.”

While saying this, I intentionally shook my hands, pretending to be worried.

That way, viewers can get angles to tease me in the chat, making it more fun.

In addition, I had prepared the background music for the occasion.

And finally, I entered Seo-Ah’s Pouch’s broadcast station.

“Ah! I believed in you, but are my Bangsels the main?”

As before, the main display was filled with Bangsels from popular female streamers.

I immediately played the theme song of a soap opera as if I had been waiting for this moment.

[Why did you meet me

Why do you keep hurting me]

“Revenge… I will take revenge!”

It would have been perfect if I could have added points to my avatar’s face at that moment, but that would be too much of an investment.

I immersed myself in playing the role of a tragic woman who was betrayed.

Alright, let’s hear an excuse.

You scoundrel chairperson.

-Hmm? Seo-Ah hasn’t uploaded Bangsels yet? It needs to be there to be on the main.

“…….”

Ah, that’s true.

In that instant, countless sounds of viewers ridiculing and laughing at me poured out.

Brewing broth as a friend’s jealousy concept turning into a high-impact streamer—a perfect build-up.

If I say that this was all planned, would you believe me?

… No, I’m telling the truth!
