Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 87

Episode 87: Confusion

– Poco Server.

I won’t say much.

This is a Minecraft war server that the Pocotin Crew ran briefly.

Because the operation period was short, Mr. Lena allowed persons from overlapping servers like Lena World to participate.

But anyone who knows understands.

They knew how impulsive and petty Mr. Lena could be.

One of the Hakkoh virtual streamers who participated in the Poco server was forced to leave after returning to Lena World later due to petty circumstances, having been targeted for minor reasons.

‘Actually, this is the first bomb. I wish Bluebee would have been expelled for being disliked too.’

That would be great, but the chances of that happening are quite low.

Mr. Lena is more perceptive than one might think and didn’t expel just anyone.

The Hakkoh virtual streamer who was expelled had his own justification.

They were told in advance to build a personal house by a certain date, but the quality of the house was poor, and there was not even a bed inside, which provided grounds for criticism.

So, Mr. Lena expelled that individual without regard for public sentiment.

However, it wouldn’t be so easy with Bluebee.

If such a thing were to happen, they would ensure their house was built properly.

‘Anyway, what I’m aiming for is the second effect.’

There’s no need for a lengthy explanation.

The Poco server was a failed server.

There were so many issues that it was said Pocotin Crew, which had been thriving, stumbled because of this.

The core issue was the server operation.

In truth, running a server isn’t an easy task.

The first concern is cost.

Development costs, labor costs for operation and management personnel, and other miscellaneous expenses, including server computers.

Thinking that the Poco server cost over 5 million won for just a week’s operation gives me a headache.

Moreover, even after pouring money and effort, the return value wasn’t guaranteed.

Mr. Lena, server master of Lena World, which is considered the most successful Minecraft server in Pangea TV’s history, faced criticism throughout the operation.

Game management is inherently like that.

There can’t be a 100% satisfaction balance for everyone.

With server operation being already challenging, the problem was that the trio from Pocotin was less skilled than anticipated.

They were more focused on their internal conflicts and targeted specific individuals in announcements rather than calmly addressing the various issues arising among participants.

‘I heard from the Tteuldaks in the Pangea boards, so I don’t know more detailed circumstances.’

This much was clear.

Participating in the Poco server yielded no benefits and was only a waste of time.

Furthermore, pushing Bluebee into the Poco server would create an additional benefit.

‘The Poco server is a war server, and besides, they gather by groups. This means there’s no room for concern elsewhere. It could only become a nuisance to the same group members. So, the focus must be solely on the Poco server.’

While Bluebee is stuck in the Poco server, my crew members and I can solidify our foundation in Lena World and create our own stories.

In other words, we can secure the first-mover advantage.

‘This is huge. In immersive servers with a story, once you begin a story, that narrative often gets carried on.’

This is due to the continuity of the story.

Thus, being able to secure a story in Lena World offered a significant advantage.

Plus, I know the future and direction of Lena World.

I could further maximize the first-mover advantage.

‘Actually, the Ugaidol Audition is just a stepping stone. The real leap is Lena World.’

There have been many streamers who have increased their status through Lena World.

To survive in the increasingly competitive virtual panel, I had to make the most of this opportunity.

‘Therefore, I need to preemptively eliminate competitors or cut them down at the root. For example, someone like Bluebee…’

I quietly smiled, thinking of the trap I had prepared for her.

***

Monday, November 21.

The beginning of a new week.

Today, Pangea TV was dazzlingly alight.

First, the endlessly declining stock prices had the “God of Stocks,” Mr. Daeseoa, longing for a comeback.

But that was futile.

The stock price of Pangea TV would continue to fall.

If I remember correctly, the first dropping transaction occurred after the dawn of 2023?

If one had bought stocks back then, there would have been consistent increases for nearly a month, resulting in substantial profits.

‘I need to save up until then to hit it big.’

The larger the capital, the more profits can be maximized.

So, I should prepare sufficient funds before January.

In addition, I had a valid justification that wouldn’t harm the viewers’ sentiments.

‘December has that day! Specifically!’

Christmas on December 25.

That day makes couples’ hearts flutter and ignites the hearts of singles…

According to insiders, it is said that on this day, getting a motel room becomes impossible (distant mountain).

Willingly, I will turn on the stream for the sad singles.

They can find comfort in my broadcast, while I can legitimately shout “Give me your money!” and fill my wallet.

How wonderful for both sides!

Huh? You think I’m trash?

… Regardless, if I can score big on Christmas and invest in stocks, I’ll be set.

As long as I don’t get carried away and start thinking about purchasing motion capture devices or building dedicated studios, I shouldn’t have to worry about money for a while.

After all, isn’t January supposed to be Lena World’s peak?

Park Nana, the first virtual streamer to join the 1 million club, and four other virtual streamers with over 800,000 Candy each…

It truly was a time when the entire server was going wild.

Since Pangea TV’s stock price will rise throughout January, if I invest every penny I earn in stocks, I might even be able to move out of this cramped house.

‘What’s scarier is that I’m not joking. There really have been virtuals who got a huge hit in Lena World before the regression and managed to secure a house.’

Speaking of stocks, let’s move on to the next commotion, which was the protagonist, Lena Universe.

From Friday to the weekend, there was a show of Mr. Lena’s withdrawal and reversal.

The escalating conflict with the company had reached its limit.

While it currently seemed that the conflict had been sealed, I knew better.

Before December arrives, Mr. Lena would cross the river of no return.

After Mr. Lena withdrew, Lena Universe sought survival, even changing its name, but ironically, the lifeline they cut was the Minecraft server, Lena World.

Lena World absorbed all the attention and buzz of Pangea TV, causing the virtual streamers who couldn’t enter that server to “slowly wither away.”

Huh? What does “slowly wither away” mean? Ugh! You Tteuldaks who don’t even know that.

It means they gradually dried up.

Eventually, Lena Universe disappeared into the pages of history, and the individuals who were with them scattered in search of survival.

Unlike their grand entry as the first corporate group in Pangea TV, their final form left only loneliness behind.

In fact, there was nothing particularly special about it.

Lena Universe was the first, but many virtual crews have faded away in Pangea TV since.

Next, the issue to arise was Prika’s “Na-roshi.”

This was an unexpected butterfly effect for me.

Removing Kyu-lings, who posed a significant obstacle to Prika’s future, led to problems for the replacement, Na-roshi.

The issue was straightforward.

There was a time when Na-roshi used feminist-related words while streaming on Lebit TV in the past.

This revelation came from the malicious gallery, which does not hesitate to investigate streamers, which slyly posted related materials in FM Community and blew it up.

In no time, a fire ignited concerning controversies related to the Prika member.

The majority of viewers in the streaming community are male, making them sensitive to issues related to feminism.

In response, Na-roshi, who went live with Sayoh, attempted a head-on approach.

The screenshots and posts circulating in the community had been maliciously edited, and she claimed she hadn’t known those words were feminist terms when she used them.

At that time, someone among the viewers had urged viewers to type that word in chat, and she admitted she had inadvertently done so.

Then, the reactions immediately divided in half.

Fans trying to protect Prika believed in Na-roshi, while on the flip side, the antis condemned her as a liar and demanded evidence if someone had led them to do so.

Unfortunately, however, the stream had happened so long ago that there were no recordings left.

Ultimately, Na-roshi found herself trapped, and the antis of Prika seized the moment and pounced on her.

“Tsk! This is all karma. This is karma. You shouldn’t make enemies carelessly.”

Most of Prika’s antis arose while Sayoh was conducting the Ugaidol Audition.

Their hurtful remarks or actions towards participants.

And the questionable selection of successful candidates in the Ugaidol Audition.

They lay in wait, subtly seeking to tear Prika apart.

With such a golden opportunity presenting itself, there was no way they would give up easily.

They carried out note terror, attacked through chat during live broadcasts, infiltrated the Prika fan cafe, and even rushed to the YouTube channel to leave malicious comments.

Was that all?

They even manipulated the Namuwiki to maliciously inflate the controversy.

As the comprehensive pressure mounted, not only the person involved but also infighting began within Prika.

As the controversy and subsequent damages accumulated, dissatisfaction started to surface among fans of other members.

Na-roshi, who was under pressure from antis outside… and from the fans of other members within.

Ultimately, she could no longer endure and chose to publicly apologize, withdraw from Prika, and reflect.

‘Does Sayoh really have something going on?’

Before the regression, many members she passed had issues, and now Na-roshi, chosen to replace Kyu-lings, fell into this situation.

Now, Prika has become a four-member crew.

Across the screen, Sayoh was passionately speaking.

“I will never… never give up. This will never happen again, and through this incident, Prika will become even stronger.”

Yeah, no. There’s still one more to go.

I was the ominous herald of Sayoh’s unfortunate future.
