Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 91
Episode 91: A Busy Life
While we were playfully enjoying our crew content with laughter, Pangea TV’s virtual panel was going through a tumultuous period.
Lena’s Land from the Lena Universe and Orikung of the Pocotin Crew announced around the same time that they were planning a Minecraft server.
First, Lena’s Land confidently mentioned that they had already operated a Minecraft server for the Lena Universe on LebitTV and promised to show good content.
However, the problem was that frequent disputes and internal strife had left the Lena Universe in shambles.
Fans who had trusted and followed them, along with both the company and the streamers, were shaken, so Lena’s Land’s plan didn’t garner much interest.
In contrast, Orikung from Pocotin had a different announcement.
Currently, Pocotin was the only virtual crew that could rival Decrescendo.
Naturally, this attracted interest not only from fans but also from Buttpicking Viewers, and Orikung confidently announced his blueprint.
“What I’m planning is not an ordinary Minecraft server. It’s a Minecraft war server with guns blazing!”
In fact, the viewers of Pangea TV were not familiar with Minecraft.
They knew it as a game enjoyed mostly by young students.
Despite that perception, Orikung’s meticulously prepared PPT and promotional video shone brightly.
He conveyed that it was a game more enjoyable than viewers might think.
Moreover, the advantages of the “Poco Server” were not limited to that.
A short duration of just a week was quite appealing, and the server even had prize money at stake.
“Right now, I’m personally investing 1 million won. And I’ve received a promise of 50,000 Candy sponsorship through funding. We expect to receive funding support for the Poco Server championship by the end of this month, so please show a lot of interest!”
In the end, I recall that around 16 million won in prize money was set.
To play a game for just a week and have that much prize money—how mouthwatering!
Furthermore, during that period, the income from his broadcasts would be separate anyway.
For this reason, a considerable number of Hako virtual streamers, who lacked recognition and revenue, truly supported the Poco Server.
However, Orikung was not satisfied with just this.
He knew very well that attracting one properly recognized virtual streamer was more effective than ten or twenty Hako streamers.
So he casually made contact with Decrescendo.
If he could get even one member to join the server, the Decrescendo fandom would naturally become interested, increasing the success probability of the Poco Server.
As can be seen by his subsequent actions, Orikung was indeed an ambitious streamer.
He transferred to Pangea TV during the early 720p incident and constantly stirred up activities.
He established a company, released albums, collaborated with gaming companies, held virtual concerts, offline concerts, and more.
For Orikung, the Poco Server was the starting point.
If this project succeeded, he could confidently push forward in the future.
However, the unfortunate aspect was that his abilities did not match his massive ambitions.
Moreover, there were too many detrimental consequences from the past accumulated at LebitTV.
So, when large company virtual streamers transferred to Pangea TV after the domestic service of LebitTV ended, they simply withered away.
This was the cruel future that awaited Orikung.
Of course, he couldn’t be sure that such history would repeat itself this time.
There was a variable that was shaking up the virtual panel.
“For now, I don’t know anything else, but I hope Bluebee participates in the Poco Server.”
He was already active.
He subtly poked Lucy in the ribs, aligning his timing with Orikung’s announcement.
This was the second Minecraft server I mentioned last time.
I frequently highlighted the advantages of the Poco Server so that Lucy would have positive thoughts about it.
The shorter timeframe and prize money, among other things.
That way, Lucy would have a lot of good things to say to Bluebee.
“At this point, nobody knew. That the management of the Poco Server would be hell.”
It might have been a foreseen event.
Just looking at the ages of the three members of the Pocotin Crew gives us a hint.
The leader, Orikung, was born in 2001 and is 22 years old.
Yami and Hiyorii were even younger and both minors.
How much capable management could one expect from these kids?
Most participants were, in fact, older.
So there were many power struggles, and instances where participants and the server master would snipe at each other arose.
Just imagining it gives me a headache.
No matter how appealing the prize money was, it was best to completely avoid a server with such deep issues and controversies.
“Besides, if I participate in the Poco Server, I’ll be marked. Lena’s Land might get angry.”
It was a well-known incident in the community when Lena’s Land sent a message to a former member of the Lena Universe, who was of Japanese-Korean mixed heritage, advising them to stay away from Orikung.
Since Orikung had a messy past, this was a warning to keep as far away as possible…
Understanding Lena’s Land’s temper meant there was an absolute need to focus on Lena World.
“I need to participate in Lena World 2 as well. I can’t afford to be disliked.”
You could call me a schemer for this.
This kind of conduct is a hundred or a thousand times better than failing.
Moreover, now it was not just my fate but the crew’s as well that I had to bear, so I had to be even more careful.
“By the way, there’s not much time left.”
The opening of Lena World on December 2 was just around the corner.
I’m preparing various things to make a swift start, but to tell the truth, there are still many decisions to be made.
What course should be taken when large company streamers enter Lena World?
If I only think about immediate profit, the best option would be to wait it out and get in line with Buck Minam Park Bong-sik.
He was the most significant source of Naksu and had built connections through MCK.
But the problem was that it could create an overly dependent relationship.
“No matter how much I thrive, if I get entangled properly once, a hierarchical relationship will be established. Buck Minam Park Bong-sik has that kind of weight.”
As a streamer specialized in playing leader roles, it was inevitable that such a relationship would form.
If that aspect was off-putting, it would be right to avoid Buck Minam Park Bong-sik.
“In fact, even if we’re not in the same guild, as long as we avoid busy times, we can get along just fine. I’ll think it over a bit more. It’s not just about me; the crew members need to be considered as well.”
In fact, my situation was complex, even if it wasn’t related to Lena World.
Could it be said that it was a side effect of too rapid growth?
It’s only been a little over two months since I started broadcasting.
My recognition has become comparable to that of Named Hakkohs, and even without trying new content, I maintained about 300 to 400 viewers, importantly, I was ranked first among virtual streamers in Candy sponsorships as of November.
There wasn’t much difference from the second place, Park Nana, but there was definitely symbolism in being first.
As a result, malicious individuals began to swarm around me.
Perhaps, upon seeing me start to take a significant slice of the virtual pie, other virtual streamers’ fans felt a sense of crisis.
They sent derogatory messages through secondary accounts and were even trying to manipulate public opinion against me in the malicious gallery.
I was shocked to witness what other virtuals went through before my regression, but it felt revolting when I became the target myself.
Why in the world do these malicious individuals live like this?
It’s frustrating, but there was no immediate solution.
The malicious gallery is impossible to track by IP, so lawsuits wouldn’t work either.
Ultimately, the only method was to continue to keep a low profile while thriving.
“It’s genuinely infuriatingly unfair, but other streamers are in the same position…”
Perhaps my fans were anonymously hiding behind masks using their anonymity to slander someone.
That’s a chilling thought.
If I think that’s a common occurrence, then internet broadcasting is truly not for anyone.
“Malicious individuals are just that kind of people, and these days streamers are causing chaos too.”
The second point of confusion for me was indeed the streamers.
The relay of contact from other streamers began after the Ugaidol Audition dropout.
Hako streamers were quite literally numerous, and there were also many well-known Named Hakkohs.
Among them, the most eye-catching nickname was “Mr. Young-jun.”
He was the streamer I first collaborated with during my early debut.
In fact, I was quite familiar with this streamer, Mr. Young-jun.
He showcased an influence comparable to that of large company streamers in Lena World and continued to be a streamer who involved himself in the virtual panel.
He was active enough that even Lucy had previously connected with Mr. Young-jun on the Minecraft server that opened after Lena World 2.
“Actually, my connection with Mr. Young-jun might be better than with the large company streamers.”
Regardless of others, Mr. Young-jun was indeed the type to take care of his people well.
He showed that he would stick with the virtuals with whom he formed deep bonds in Lena World until the end.
Additionally, he had great connections and had no hesitation in spending and providing Naksu, so being close to him wouldn’t be a disadvantage.
“I guess he must have seen the PUBG kindergarten.”
The message from Mr. Young-jun was an invitation to collaborate.
It seemed to have a format similar to Oh-ha.
It is essentially a norm in the streaming community to follow fads.
However, the sport was different from that of Oh-ha.
Oh-ha was mainly focused on Battle Ground, while Mr. Young-jun was main in League of Legends, which was a natural choice.
“There’s nothing wrong with that, but I’ll pass for now. With so many malicious individuals targeting me, I need to be cautious. Mr. Young-jun’s image isn’t that good either.”
The repercussions of his incident in the Star Panel were still lingering.
Surely after fluttering wings of revival in Lena World, things would clear up.
Hoping for that day, I sent a response to Mr. Young-jun that left room for possibility.
“Malicious individuals targeting me. Relationships with streamers… There truly are many things to manage.”
On top of taking care of personal broadcasts and the crew, I felt overwhelmed as if I needed ten bodies.
But what can you do?
To succeed, I would need to make all sorts of efforts.
Today, the life of the returned person spins busily on.
