Please Do Your Debauchery After You Die - Chapter 98
Episode 98: Someone’s Announcement
– Seoa’s Fan Cam Clip
[Video] – Presence on the Table
Today is the day for this.
Teacher will be blessed, bowing deeply.
Such a precious video… I’ll scold you with points!
– So all virtual streamers use avatars that reflect reality like this?
Shall we go crazy starting today? I can’t hold it in!
? You seem to already be going crazy.
Honestly, I haven’t seen their face, but just looking at their body, aren’t they in the top 5%?
But seriously, why is Seo-Ah doing virtual? She’d blow up if she did a female stream.
– The reason is a secret…
I’ve decided to become a fan of V-Live starting today.
Cafe membership complete!
Lately, I’ve seen such an honest young person, haha.
It’s a secret reason, but why do I feel like everyone knows?
The whole world is a V-Live fandom.
I checked the FM Community early in the morning.
It was just a mobile broadcast that barely lasted an hour, yet several popular posts were up.
Is it because of the situation with Buck Minam Park Bong-sik?
It felt like its influence had strengthened compared to before.
“It’s a good thing, but I need to be more cautious.”
As recognition increases, the repercussions when something bad happens will be significant.
Let’s remember the virtual streamers who crumbled hollowly due to a single event before the regression.
“Oh! It’s here.”
Next, I checked the Discord messages or emails that had come in overnight.
However, I found a message from a worker I assigned a task to, along with the completed project.
‘Are Miho and Mayo still not here?’
The project was an edited version of a song recorded for making a Christmas Carol video.
There were separate files for Lucy and me.
I put on my headset, filled with nervous anticipation, and played the file, soon feeling quite satisfied.
“Indeed, they are known in the industry; I made the right choice.”
Despite being processed by machinery, the corrections were so natural that it was hardly noticeable, and the transitions were clean.
I had set conditions that were stricter and paid more than other workers, but if this level of quality was guaranteed, it was welcome.
“I should hurry and urge them to send it.”
I knew both Miho and Mayo were struggling since they had no experience in song recording, but if their individual schedules got delayed, it would shake up the entire crew’s plans.
This issue needed to be firmly managed from the early stages of the crew.
I left a long message urging the two to record songs and then got up from my seat.
“Ugh!”
As soon as I woke up, I sat right in front of the computer, and my body felt stiff.
After a light stretch, I prepared a meal kit for breakfast.
These products have come a long way in quality lately.
After finishing my meal, I sat back in front of the computer to monitor Lucy’s broadcast.
I felt proud watching her as she had become quite proficient.
She was trembling at first, and now she has grown this much.
“I should start planning contents related to the news broadcast soon.”
The news broadcast had a significant effect in terms of viewership, often likened to a rice soup, but it was hard to create true fans with such a diverse crowd coming in.
Therefore, the main broadcast following the news was crucial.
From the floating viewers, how many loyal fans could I attract?
It wasn’t easy, but Lucy was definitely improving.
Thinking back to before the regression, it was even more evident.
At that time, she was doing Durahan broadcasts with an average of about 20 viewers on LebitTV.
What a remarkable contrast.
“Is there any important news?”
Just as I checked Maia’s reply that had just come in, I began flipping through the community again.
It seemed that as the end of the month approached, I was feeling restless, making it hard to accomplish anything.
There are days like this.
During such times, it’s better to handle only the tasks originally planned instead of forcing myself to try harder.
It’s crucial not to create unnecessary problems during this important period.
“Hmm?”
But I found myself unable to remain still.
A post from Mr. Lena’s Land had just appeared in the community.
Recruitment for residents of Lena World had started.
***
Lena World didn’t take long to open after its initial announcement.
Since it was initially developed as the Minecraft server of the Lena Universe, it was merely a matter of changing the name.
There wouldn’t be any issues.
This server was planned to be developed and operated through Mr. Lena’s personal funds and connections.
Ever since the LebitTV days, Mr. Lena had enjoyed healing in Minecraft.
So, he thought.
I want to escape the headaches of company stake conflicts and human relationship problems and just quietly heal inside the Minecraft server.
However, his mindset had changed considerably since he first planned the server.
At that time, he was trying to host a very successful server by inviting popular streamers as the main members of the Lena Universe.
After stepping down from the leadership position of the Lena Universe and cutting ties with the company, he completely lost confidence.
Even at LebitTV and after transferring to Pangea TV, he faced repeated failures.
Being a celebrity with high pride didn’t protect Mr. Lena at that moment.
So, when Mr. Lena wrote the initial recruitment announcement for the first Lena server, he planned to enjoy it quietly with viewers due to his dejection.
Believing that very few streamers would apply, thinking that he would not attract any support.
That was understandable, as in the fan cafe, Mr. Lena was evaluated as a major factor in ruining the crew alongside the company, and in the community, he had been continuously mocked since the incident with Yume.
It must have felt like the whole world was turning against him.
Moreover, aren’t celebrities generally plagued with mental health issues?
With a weak mental state, Mr. Lena was burrowing deeper into a cave.
Fortunately, while true fans actively opposed the viewer server, a revision notice for a streamer server was released a few days later.
“I can’t miss out on such a good opportunity.”
It didn’t matter to him that Mr. Lena would later commit many misdeeds and earn a bad reputation in the community.
What was clear was that there was an enormous value in using Mr. Lena right now.
He was the first server master of a Minecraft server that achieved unprecedented success, even at Pangea TV.
For those hoping to join, he was a more powerful figure than the big company streamers.
“Yes. If I can maintain some appropriate connections, it will be an enormous help.”
Mr. Lena was truly a socialite and an embodiment of power.
From her previous actions before the regression, this was plainly evident.
Especially the mind games with her rival, Yuseona, the server master of Seona’s server, were enough to single-handedly shoulder the dopamine of community enthusiasts at that time.
“That was a real legend. She was truly a superstar of the community.”
Considering that a single streamer maintained a higher profile throughout the server period than two or three big company streamers, no one could say that the title of superstar was excessive.
However, because the conclusion was unsatisfactory, it remained a title met with ridicule.
“This isn’t the time to be doing this.”
If I was going to use Mr. Lena, it was important to act quickly.
Before true fans woke Mr. Lena up, I would intervene and snatch the public achievements for myself.
And through this matter, maintain an appropriate boundary.
So that future benefits could be gained.
Cowardly and despicable?
Oh, young ones, that’s just how life is.
I’m not thinking of harming anyone just to gain an advantage, but ignoring gold lying around is foolish.
I immediately began writing a note to send to Mr. Lena.
The content wasn’t long, so I could finish writing it quickly.
To summarize, it started with flattery.
Emphasized that I had liked Mr. Lena since his voice acting days.
I also positively evaluated his broadcasts during the LebitTV days.
Moreover, after moving to Pangea TV, I had wanted to collaborate at least once, but didn’t get the chance due to company affiliation.
This wasn’t incorrect, as the Lena Universe strictly managed external collaborations due to being a corporate entity, so it could serve as a valid excuse.
Thus, the beginning section led straight into the main point.
Pointed out that the viewer server was a misstep and praised Mr. Lena’s server management abilities, urging him to reconsider now.
Let’s operate as a streamer server.
I wrote that the V-Live Crew would lend support to that.
“Honestly, with our level, it must look tempting.”
Even though I might fall slightly behind Decrescendo or Pocotin, we were an undeniably recognized crew beyond that.
If we joined the server, we could conservatively secure about 700 to 800 viewers without a doubt.
Then naturally, virtual streamers of lower caliber would show interest.
At the very least, we wouldn’t suffer losses by joining, hence comfort would arise.
“Good. With this, Mr. Lena should be intrigued.”
Having sent the note, I realized it was lunchtime.
I prepared a meal and sat back down in front of the computer.
Maia’s broadcast was about to start.
I slowly ate while monitoring the broadcast.
Another busy day flowed by.
