CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 22: The Million-Dollar Spending Comes to an End
The market price is four thousand.

Lu Yiming wanted to buy 100 for 3,000 each.

This seems a bit naive to the viewers.

There are only a little over a hundred listed on the current trading market. Buying just a few can raise the price from four thousand to five thousand.

The number of 14-Catalysts in existence is already very small.

It's a one-in-one situation; once you use one, there's one less left.

They're basically all controlled by big merchants; ordinary players probably don't even have a hundred in their accounts combined.

After all, the price had risen from a few dollars to over two thousand.

Few people can resist it.

Lu Yiming was also very clear about this.

He didn't expect to receive it for three thousand; he just wanted to get the merchants with goods in the live stream to come out.

And it was only a short while after he finished speaking.

The businessman who sent the rocket earlier appeared in the live stream.

[CSGO trader Xiaoqi: 3,000 is impossible! The current asking price is 3,900. I have 100 in stock, but the price per unit will be 4,800 if I go through a platform!]

At this point, viewers saw this comment and immediately called him a black marketeer.

Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "It's not exactly shady. Although the lowest price on the market is 4,200, there are no more than ten items below 5,000 in total. This price is only reasonable, just not affordable enough."

As soon as these words came out.

"The streamer has really gone crazy!" These six words began to flood the screen.

They never expected that there would be people speaking up for unscrupulous merchants these days.

Current game environment.

Players and merchants generally have opposing stances.

Lu Yiming looked at the increasingly excited comments on the screen.

He immediately said softly, "I have no choice! It would cost me 480,000 to buy 100 from him. If I were to buy them from the market, not only would I not be able to get 100 for 480,000, but I also can't afford to wait that long! After all, I plan to stream 50 next week!"

To make a successful live stream, you need to generate buzz and create engaging content.

He is neither a technical streamer nor a good-looking streamer, nor a retired professional player. Lacking natural popularity, he needs to generate buzz through entertaining content.

In a full CS:GO team.

Unboxing is already one of the most eye-catching shows.

Not to mention the relatively rare 14 Cato.

You can see that the direction of the comments changed instantly at this moment.

Feng Xiaoqi.

One of the top five CSGO publishers in China.

The current total value of the inventory exceeds eight million.

It ranks fourth in the domestic CSGO merchant inventory value ranking.

He is recognized as the person in the circle who has hoarded the most Cato stock for 14 years.

The total number reached more than four hundred.

He started buying at around 800, and kept buying even after the price rose to 3,900.

There were already few players in 2014, and the prices weren't high at the time, so many people just used them casually when they got them. That's why there are so many "heirlooms" still in existence today.

No one knows how many of the 14-year-old Cattos are still in existence, but some people have estimated, based on the sales figures and the number of stickers still in existence at the time, that the number of Cattos still in existence is definitely no more than 10,000.

The price has increased hundreds of times.

When Feng Xiaoqi heard that Lu Yiming planned to open fifty, her eyes lit up!
Immediately start typing in the bullet comments.

[CSGO Merchant Xiaoqi: Opening fifty or so is no fun! Let's just open a hundred! I'll send you thirty Super Rockets the day you open a hundred!]

Well known.

If two identical antiques are each worth 10,000 yuan, then after one of them is smashed, the other becomes a unique item.

Its value will definitely increase to over 20,000.

Similarly, for him, who bet on Cato for 14 years.

Some people drive 14 Cato cars, while others hoard 14 Cato cars.

He definitely prefers the former.

After all, the former can help him increase the value of his remaining inventory.

The latter is a competitor vying for food in your bowl, and you must always be wary of him smashing the plate.

Thirty Superfires would cost 60,000 yuan.

This unscrupulous businessman suddenly had a change of heart.

This left many viewers in the live stream completely baffled.

The ID "CSGO Xiaoqi" has a certain reputation in the CSGO community, so naturally she wouldn't ruin her reputation for 60,000 yuan. Lu Yiming laughed when he saw the comments.

However, it's not very obvious.

Although his desired price was 3,500, he knew he couldn't get it for that price, so he said softly, "Okay! Forget about the Superfire! Just sell it to me for 4,200 each! I promise to open 90 of these 100 and keep only 10 as souvenirs."

Four thousand two can get one hundred.

It's definitely a great deal.

After all, major distributors are really ruthless in supporting the market; they won't sell off large quantities of stock unless absolutely necessary.

I noticed that the other party didn't reply immediately.

Lu Yiming immediately added, "Let's be friends! If you have any other large shipments, you can DM me with a quote. Maybe I can get a few more orders!"

His spending power is beyond doubt.

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqi, a CSGO merchant who was contemplating the pros and cons, gave a direct affirmative reply.

The deal is finalized for tomorrow.

After all, Lu Yiming only had about 300,000 yuan left in his account.

However, at this moment, the viewers suddenly felt a sense of disorientation, mainly because in less than two hours, Lu Yiming had not only spent a million, but also...

Do I need to deposit an additional 100,000 or so?

The number of viewers in the live stream has increased to over two thousand.

Very close to three thousand.

During this time, Lu Yiming secretly opened the data panel and saw that he was only less than a hundred people away from leveling up.

That night, they intensified their spending spree.

at last!

He sent out his last 1,000 yuan red envelope before ending the broadcast.

A system notification appeared.

【Ding! 】

[The rewards for upgrading your primary sub-profession to C level (Reputation Rising 505/5000) have been sent to your system inventory!]

The viewers in the live stream were still trying to persuade them to stay.

After all, his spending tonight took up a lot of time, and they didn't get to enjoy the show at all.

Eager to know what the reward was, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "That's all for today! I have things to take care of tomorrow, so I'll take this opportunity to announce that I'm taking a day off tomorrow. However, as compensation, I'll be working overtime the day after tomorrow! The specific broadcast time will be announced at noon the day after tomorrow!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming immediately shut down the live stream.

The audience was left wailing or cursing in the comments section.

Wash your hands and face.

After making a sincere wish to the sky outside the window.

Lu Yiming then opened the data panel and looked at the C-level welfare gift pack that appeared in his backpack.

He already thought the skills in the first two gift packs were ridiculously overpowered.

He had high expectations for the contents of this C-level gift pack.

sit on the chair.

Wash your hands like a mosquito.

He murmured softly, "I'm looking for a practical skill, preferably one that can help me reduce the costs of live streaming!"

Currently, his daily cost for live streaming is a little over 10,000 yuan.

However, it's possible that there are now duplicate winners, and the growth rate isn't as high as it was at the beginning.

I did a quick calculation.

To meet the requirements for upgrading from D to C, he sent out nearly 100,000 yuan in red envelopes.

Upgrading to B level would require at least a million, not to mention he would need to generate buzz to keep new viewers joining the live stream. Not to mention that upgrading to A level in the future could involve tens of thousands of viewers.

Even if he still had more than five million in hand, he couldn't be sure how much this expense would cost.

At this moment, he began to silently recite the activation command.

Then the system's voice came on.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the passive skill "Practice Makes Perfect" - a special CSGO edition (CSGO skill level will increase with the number of games played. Note: The higher the skill level of your teammates in a match, the greater the increase in skill level! Current skill level is Silver [0/2000])]

Small theater.

CSGO black market trading group.

Merchant Xiaoqi: @Clearance and runaway buddy, are you still selling those 100 14-cartoons?
Clearance Sale and Runaway: Mr. Xiao! Your price of 3,500 is too low! I'd rather sell it slowly on the market!
Merchant Xiaoqi: I've found someone to buy it for you. The price is 4,200 yuan per unit, and the referral fee is the usual!
Clearance sale and run: Holy crap! Thank you, Mr. Xiao! Mr. Xiao is so generous!
