CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 21 The Streamer Has Gone Mad!

The streamer has gone mad!

This is what all the viewers in Lu Yiming's live stream thought next.

I'll just buy five pieces of the Dark Gold Roar set.

I bought five pairs of the slightly worn Miami gloves, which had risen in price to nearly 8,000 yuan!

The price for a brand new one is 14,000.

They bought seven pairs of shoes before stopping, with the price reaching nearly 20,000 yuan.

These twelve pairs of gloves alone cost 130,000.

When Lu Yiming began searching for Pandora's Box.

The viewers couldn't hold back any longer!

[Don't buy these gloves, streamer! The price is ridiculously high right now!]

[Yes! The starting price in Miami was only $6,900 last month, but now it's gone up by $1,000 to $7,900!]

[Holy crap! Streamer, please don't buy Pandora gloves! The price has been plummeting!]

[Haha! When Pandora first came out, someone offered 80,000 for it. But as soon as someone actually posted that offer, it was gone. Forget 80,000—this glove is now listed at 17,000 and nobody wants it!]

[Is it around 7,000 now? That's the same price as Miami, but I feel it's not as nice as Miami~]

[Hey streamer! I have a slightly worn Pandora item, do you want it? I urgently need money right now, I'll list it for 9,000 yuan if possible!]

Pandora's Box is the glove from the new glove weapon case that was released two years ago.

The price was driven very high when it first came out.

However, as weapon cases were produced, the number of them in existence gradually increased, and the price began to fall.

This is a normal phenomenon in the CSGO market economy.

But what's unusual about these gloves is that the price dropped too quickly.

It was halved in value in less than six months after its release, and then fell to its lowest price in history last year.

Especially recently, Valve launched another large-scale red letter campaign.

This has led most people to become more cautious about buying expensive jewelry.

The comments on the screen were all trying to dissuade him.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Okay! Let's skip this one for now! Let's go check out the jeweled knife handle!"

It would be inappropriate to disagree at this point.

The current price is around 7,000 for slightly worn ones and around 15,000 for brand new ones. Lu Yiming plans to stock up on about ten of them after the broadcast, just like Miami.

He didn't plan to go all in on one thing, since his presence might affect things, so betting more was the best option.

However, when the viewers heard him mention the gemstone knife, they were shocked.

They became even more agitated.

[To be honest! You'd be better off getting Pandora's Knife instead of the gem-wielding streamer!]

[Indeed! The price of gemstone knives has remained within a certain range over the past few years; it's impossible for them to increase in price significantly!]

[Is this considered a high point right now? I suggest you wait a bit longer, streamer!]

I'm waiting for the Bowie Sniper Ryzen to drop to Sapphire Crystal. It went from 5,500 to 5,000, and I'll buy it when it drops to 3,500!

The price of gemstone knives has recently started to plummet.

The panic selling was triggered by the disappearance of many major YouTubers.

This directly caused the collapse of the entire price of gemstone knives.

Similarly, Lu Yiming didn't want to go against the current mainstream perception, as this would make him seem problematic after prices increased in the future.

He nodded slightly and said, "I know that! But I want to get the perfect grade one, and the current price should be reasonable!"

CSGO skins differ in details depending on the template.

For example, the most severely worn part of a claw knife is the blade foot.

Even on brand new, low-wear skin, there will be very noticeable wear on the blade feet, but under certain templates, this wear will be quite subtle.

Lu Yiming remembered that the perfect serial number for the sapphire claw knife was 651.

soon.

Two sapphire claw knives appeared in the live stream footage.

Both are template 651.

However, the price difference is huge.

One sells for 18,000, and the other sells for 45,000.

It is clear.

The one selling for 18,000 is someone who's in a hurry to run away.

No hesitation.

Lu Yiming placed the order directly!
After making the purchase, Lu Yiming really wanted to shout "Awesome!"

However, he didn't dare show it during the live stream, and the viewers didn't react much to his actions, since the current price of the perfect-tier item is definitely worth buying if it's right!
Although both are gem-encrusted knives, the perfect grade and the imperfect grade are definitely not in the same league.

Lu Yiming was secretly delighted after his shopping spree.

The viewers also enjoyed the effect of this kind of program.

After all, most of them can only look on with envy at these accessories.

I didn't buy too much.

Lu Yiming only purchased fewer than ten of the Perfect Gem Knives.

The average price is less than 20,000.

After buying two low-wear, spotless sapphire butterfly knives for 14,000 yuan each.

The purchase of twelve jeweled knives cost a total of 200,000.

Viewers once again marveled at Lu Yiming's inhuman extravagance in the live chat!
A jeweled knife worth 200,000.

Add to that Miami's 130,000.

There are also five Roar items, worth about 80,000.

In less than an hour, Lu Yiming had spent more than 400,000 yuan!
"Spending money like water" doesn't even begin to describe the speed at which he spends.

At least Bao Ge, the top influencer on the platform, has spent 400,000 yuan. As long as he doesn't get carried away, he'll be burning through that money for several days, right?
of course.

CSGO skins are tradable.

This calculation method is definitely not appropriate.

But for the viewers in the live stream at this moment, it didn't matter how much the accessory could sell for; what mattered was how much Lu Yiming spent to buy it.

Given the current general pessimism surrounding CSGO skins.

It really took a lot of courage for him to go in like that.

However, the madness had only just begun.

Lu Yiming planned to spend one million, and he hasn't even used half of that yet.

He then bought ten ordinary Dragon Sniper rifles, each costing over ten thousand, as if he were buying them wholesale.

The souvenir Dragon Sniper rifle is already the best one available.

He also bought a very ordinary one for a starting price of 160,000.

The total cost here is approximately 700,000.

However, when he started searching for the Quenched Claw Knife, the viewers who were on the verge of collapse completely broke down.

[Holy crap! You dare look at tempered claws? Are you planning to buy the all-blue ones?]

[Case solved! The streamer wasn't hoarding goods at all; he just had too much money to burn!]

[Even the cheapest hardened claw knife costs tens of thousands, right?]

[I think the top-tier template is either 880,000 or 660,000! It's the one that Rabbit has!]

The reaction to the comments.

Lu Yiming smiled and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry~ Top-quality goods are unlikely to appear on the market. I'm just seeing if anyone is in a hurry to sell due to the recent market crash, so I can pick up a bargain for fun."

This statement highlights a Versailles-like atmosphere.

In particular, his tone was very natural.

The viewers were completely blown away by him.

The Quenched series is the most mysterious and unpredictable skin line in CS:GO.

The main reason is that it is highly recognized by overseas players and is also classified as a gem knife series. In fact, gem knives were originally only collected in perfect quality overseas, but now even flawed models are classified as gem knives.

It is a pity.

The price of hardened claw knives in the market is already at a high level.

Although the price will be higher in the future.

But Lu Yiming felt that these stockpiled goods would be very difficult to sell.

The items he's currently acquiring will be easy to sell if prices rise later, as long as he's willing to sell at a loss.

But this quenched claw knife is different.

The water was too deep for him to handle.
However, the viewers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lu Yiming give up on the quenched claws.

Then I saw Lu Yiming start typing the keyword 2014.

2014 Katowice Capsules.

It is now out of print.

The market price is over four thousand each.

The highest value items that can be obtained are the Holographic Titan and Holographic Ibp, both with a market price of 20,000.

Looking at the barrage of question marks.

Lu Yiming pointed at the capsules appearing on the screen and laughed, "Any big sellers in the live stream selling these? I want a hundred at three thousand each, through the platform, and I'll cover the transaction fees!"
