Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 84
Episode 84: A Woman’s Tears
Oh-ha was anxious.
It had already been a year since she decided to quit her main job and challenge herself as a streamer.
This was a streaming community she had jumped into with a significant resolution.
Born in 1995, she was not young and even had a beloved girlfriend whom she considered marrying, making it even more serious.
There was absolutely no room to retreat.
But despite that determination, the streaming community was far from easy.
She had the title of a former pro-gamer, but in reality, she was just another name among the many ex-pros scraping the bottom of Pangea TV.
Unless one had a standout career that everyone would recognize, simply having that title wasn’t enough to be competitive.
“Still, I believe an opportunity will come someday.”
Oh-ha did not give up.
To gain even a little recognition, she supported all the major content she could find, and when there was a collaboration, she took on tasks that others found bothersome.
Yet, despite her efforts, the results were disheartening.
An average viewer count of 10-20.
With no recognition and only a small audience, she was faced with the constant rejection of big content that needed more viewers.
Is this really the end? Am I just not cut out for this?
What reignited Oh-ha’s hope was the faith her girlfriend had in her, insisting that she could make it.
At 28, a boyfriend only earning a measly 1.5 million won a month, she continued to support him…
Yeah, I can’t give up here.
From that day on, Oh-ha devoted every minute outside her streaming hours to study popular broadcasts.
Just doing battle grounds wouldn’t suffice.
The game had become stagnant, teetering on the edge of decay.
Ultimately, what the viewers wanted was something new.
How could she bring fresh air to this dull battle grounds scene?
That’s when she caught sight of the Ugaidol Audition.
A fresh movement shaking Pangea TV to its core.
It was generating tremendous buzz, drawing in fluid viewers.
Seeing that, Oh-ha realized:
Battle grounds with virtuals.
How refreshing!
Moreover, the majority of the virtual streamers were gaming beginners, which was even better.
How cute these newbs were among the seasoned players drowning the battle grounds.
The stale battle grounds desperately needed healing.
From that day on, Oh-ha began to meticulously plan her content.
What she called the “Battle Grounds Kindergarten” content.
Great, this could definitely get a response from the viewers if done right.
An opportunity to appeal simultaneously to existing battle grounds fans and the buttpicking viewers.
Eagerly, Oh-ha sent collaboration requests to various virtual streamers.
But the results were discouraging.
“Oh… ha-ha. Yeah, this is the streaming community.”
No virtual was willing to step forward upon receiving a content proposal from Oh-ha, a Hako streamer.
The virtual scene was buzzing as it was; what reason would they have to look elsewhere?
Once again, Oh-ha tasted the bitter failure.
“Is it true that I’m just not meant to succeed? Really?”
Wasn’t it said that even if the sky falls, there’s a hole to crawl out of?
In her despair, an unexpected helping hand reached out to Oh-ha.
A passionate fan of hers promised to sponsor her with candy and brought in streamer Dalda from Lena Universe to join the content.
Dalda, who had always been interested in battle grounds, obtained her company’s consent and collaborated with Oh-ha on the first episode of battle grounds kindergarten, which received a decent response from the buttpicking viewers.
Oh-ha felt as if she had been given a second chance at life.
Moreover, the opportunity didn’t end there.
Dalda mentioned continuing with additional episodes of battle grounds kindergarten involving other members from Lena Universe.
Feeling more confident, Oh-ha decided to act bolder.
She even sent notes promoting battle grounds kindergarten to the leaders of the top-tier virtual crews, including Decrescendo, which she previously felt was out of her league.
With the mindset that if it was a long shot, it might lead to a big break, and if not, well, there was nothing to lose.
Unexpectedly, a massive breakthrough occurred.
She received a reply from Park Nana, the leader of Decrescendo, who said she would be interested in collaborating if her schedule allowed.
Following that, she also received a positive response from Seo A, the leader streamer of V-Live.
Oh-ha felt as if she were the subject of a hidden camera prank.
How could things take such a turn?
While she was overjoyed, she also knew to remain cautious.
What kind of opportunity was this? There was no way she would treat it lightly.
She studied everything from the story of the Ugaidol Audition to how both of them had navigated their debut after joining Pangea TV.
That way, she wouldn’t run out of conversation topics while proceeding with the content.
“I will definitely succeed.”
With that firm resolve, she prepared for the second episode of battle grounds kindergarten.
Even before it began, her mind was racing with thoughts.
“I wonder what their personalities are like? I’m not sure what vibes might bring synergy.”
Dalda, the protagonist of the first episode, was average.
Communication was alright, and the energy felt just fine?
However, there was a sense of disappointment.
For the audience of traditional battle grounds, it might be a bit bland.
Viewers who were used to swearing and all sorts of stimulation.
They were always after dopamine.
So, Oh-ha was troubled.
How could she satisfy the viewers to the maximum?
At the same time, she needed to find a way not to offend her guests.
It was challenging.
Virtual streamers often pursued healing broadcasts, so there were too many restrictions.
Last time, how many criticism notes had she received for being too harsh with Dalda?
While she had hinted at these difficulties during their discussions about the content, she didn’t expect much to come from it.
This was something the parties involved had to solve; who would care about a Hako streamer they didn’t know well?
“Teacher, I’m really sorry, but if you don’t mind, can I ask you something?”
“Of course. Ask me anything.”
“How many cigarettes do you smoke a day? Your voice sounds a bit… never mind.”
“What? How can a student talk to a teacher like that? You little rascal! To your corner!”
“To my corner! But seriously it’s… never mind.”
On the screen, Park Nana’s character, wielding only a level 1 backpack, leans forward as if receiving a reprimand.
Oh-ha, maintaining a serious expression, controlled her character to punch Park Nana’s character on the thigh.
“You think you can get away with that, not just once but twice?! The decline of teacher authority cannot be tolerated any longer. From now on, Park Nana will recite the grace of the master. Do you understand?”
“Ahhh! Teacher, that’s perverted! Did you just touch my thigh?”
“Huh? Oh, I didn’t touch you; I hit you for disciplinary purposes. This is slander! Lawyer! Call my lawyer!”
– This is really ridiculous; is this what battle grounds was like?
– Situation comedy Goat! No, if you’re in the game, farm and get some kills, haha.
– Was the script all prewritten? The back-and-forth is legendary; I’m laughing so hard I’m in tears.
– Today is more fun than when I did it with Dalda, haha.
Oh-ha felt a thrill from unexpected good fortune.
She had thought Dalda would be similar since they were both virtuals, but Park Nana was completely different.
How daring and actively engaged!
Given the chances her counterpart offered, Oh-ha approached the situation without worrying about criticism from the buttpicking viewers.
What was astonishing was that even though everything was improvised, their interactions flowed as if there were a script.
Viewers’ reactions were also incredibly positive.
With a viewer count surpassing 800, they smashed the previous record held with Dalda.
Oh-ha was moved.
It was the first time that many viewers had tuned in to her broadcast.
“I don’t have a lawyer, but I do have one, teacher.”
“Oh? Yes, Seo A has been watching from the start. Seo A, please make the decision. You know I’m innocent.”
Oh-ha raised his voice in a way that expressed his innocence.
But Park Nana wouldn’t stay quiet.
She got up from being face down and pressed closely, shouting.
“Seo A! You believe me, right? Sniff! That teacher who smoked a pack suddenly told me to lie down and then attempted to touch me!”
“No, stop fabricating! I never smoked a pack! Seo A, you should trust the teacher.”
Oh-ha waited expectantly for Seo A’s response, his heart racing.
Ultimately, today’s content was a collaborative effort among the three.
No matter how brilliantly Oh-ha and Park Nana performed, if Seo A stood by like a scarecrow, the picture would be off.
Could Seo A jump into the scene with as much skill as Park Nana?
“Well then, I will judge coldly. Please turn around, you two.”
Park Nana and Oh-ha quickly turned their characters around as instructed by Seo A.
In that moment, Seo A’s character pulled out a frying pan.
“What? Huh?”
“Teacher, you know this saying, right?”
“What saying…?”
Before Oh-ha could finish, the frying pan landed squarely on the back of his head.
“A woman’s tears are evidence.”
“Ah!”
Oh-ha’s screen turned gray.
– It’s because he’s a man that this happened.
– Consistent statements and a woman’s tears are the key, indeed.
– A cruel world with no dreams or hope for men…
Seeing the heavily invested viewers in the broadcast, Oh-ha was confident.
Today’s content was a big hit.
