CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

It’s noon this day.

Lu Yiming received a call from Liu Zhenyun.

"President Lu! Yesterday, Engineer Qu submitted a project proposal on behalf of his team! I've taken a look at the project details, and it's a very difficult task to complete. Breakthroughs in several key technologies will require purchasing a lot of equipment and hiring relevant professionals. Personally, I feel that if we invest in this project, we need to be prepared for the long term."

Qu Jian's project proposal was very detailed.

Liu Zhenyun is known for his caution. Since he wasn't in the relevant field, he asked a professor from Xingcheng University of Technology to take a look.

The challenges of jet-powered drones lie in many aspects, including engines, fuel, and materials.

Qu Jian plans to develop these parts independently.

to be frank.

This one point alone made the professor Liu Zhenyun consult shake his head.

It's not that it can't be developed.

Rather, what is developed may not be as good or cheap as what is readily available on the market.

However, Liu Zhenyun didn't think so.

Before the successful development of Zhulong.

Who would believe that he and his team could develop the world's first supercomputer?

Just like Lu Yiming believed in him.

He was also willing to believe in Qu Jian.

There is no other reason!

He really liked the name Qingluan.

At this moment, Liu Zhenyun continued, "Regarding this project! Our Bai Ze development is progressing well, and we plan to assign a team to use the current semi-finished Bai Ze to develop an intelligent control system for the Qingluan."

This project was randomly selected from the system.

Lu Yiming knew perfectly well whether he could succeed.

I never expected that Bai Ze, which is still under development, would be included in the system's rewards.

After Liu Zhenyun finished speaking...

Lu Yiming said softly, "Okay! The project is approved! And additional approvals will be granted."

Scientific research is about trial and error.

It's already quite remarkable that Lu Yiming is willing to invest in such high-risk projects, let alone dare to increase his investment, which is something that ordinary people cannot understand.

However, Liu Zhenyun was used to Lu Yiming's approach.

He didn't say anything upon hearing the sound.

...Divider line...

The online competition for university students will begin on June 1st.

Certified by more than 1,000 universities nationwide.

A total of more than 1,700 teams will compete in a month-long tournament.

Certified teams will compete on a separate server.

The top 100 teams in the points rankings will advance to the second round.

What netizens are most excited about is this points system.

Each team can earn three hearts per day.

Losing a match results in losing one star, while the entire team gains five points.

If a player loses all three stars, they will be suspended for the day.

If the team wins, all members of the team will receive ten points.

SVP and MVP receive an additional ten points.

If the team can win three, six, nine, or ten consecutive games.

You will receive 1.5, 2, 4, and 10 times extra points at each stage, respectively.

Each team can play a maximum of ten matches per day.

In other words.

Theoretically, if you win all ten games and are the MVP in every game...

最高个人每天可以获得（20*2+35*3+40*3+60*3+120）五百六十五积分！

The team's theoretical maximum total score in a single day is 2425 points. (565 + 465 * 4)

However, this is very difficult to achieve.

The matchmaking system prioritizes pairing teams on winning streaks together.

The same reason.

If they suffer three consecutive defeats.

And if someone on the team can get SSVP every game.

The highest individual score is only 45 points (15*3).

队伍总积分则是只有（5*4*3+15*3）一百零五积分。

What has caused such a stir among netizens is...

Individuals can directly cash out the points they earn.

Moreover, the exchange rate is one to one.

Furthermore, the redemption will not affect the team's total score.

what does this mean?
This means that as long as you can play all ten games each day.

They only have a record of seven wins and three losses with a single three-game winning streak.

理论上队伍最高个人积分是（15*3+20*6+35）二百，最低则是（5*3+10*6+25）一百积分！
This is an online preliminary round.

Lu Yiming never mentioned any rewards, and the viewers subconsciously assumed that there were no rewards for the preliminary rounds.

Prize money is only awarded if you win at least a place among the top 100 universities in the country.

But I didn't expect it.

Lu Yiming gave them such a big surprise.

In fact.

These participating teams only learned about the role of individual points when the competition rules were officially announced today.

The announcement was made at 8:00 AM on the last day of May.

As of noon.

The entire gaming community was in an uproar.

It's important to know that prize money for tournaments, especially gaming tournaments, is rarely in the millions.

But Lu Yiming's preliminary round.

The total prize money is at least in the tens of millions!
At this point, netizens gained a new understanding of the inhumanity of extravagance.

[Boss Lu is awesome! Such a high prize pool for the qualifiers! CSGO is poised for a major boom!]

[Don't wait any longer! It's already a hit! Valve just announced two days ago that CS:GO has reached three million concurrent players worldwide! Of those, 1.4 million are in China!]

【Waaaaah~ Why is there an age restriction?! I was rejected by the school team because I was a month older than the requirement!】

[Haha! Mr. Lu's move is to get more young people to play CS:GO, so of course there needs to be an age limit! You can play in the monthly team tournaments! The prize for winning the group stage is quite substantial!]

[I did the math! A ten-game winning streak can earn you over 400 points per day. If you play for a full month, your monthly income could exceed 10,000!]

[Upstairs! You could get a ten-game winning streak for a month, and CEO Lu would offer you a million-dollar annual salary to join his team, believe it or not! Even if Senpo came, he wouldn't dare say he'd win every game and carry every game!]

[Not bad! At least I can earn money playing games! Even if I lose three games, I still get fifteen yuan, enough to buy two dishes at school!]

[What kind of conditions are these? Two dishes! In my crappy school, a meat dish starts at fourteen yuan, you know!]

【.】

Lu Yiming's live stream started at noon.

The number of online users remained above 100,000.

Among the streamers who started broadcasting at the same time, Lu Yiming's live stream could be ranked in the top three.

All I can say is that this traffic is absolutely outrageous.

2 p.m.

Lu Yiming started the broadcast on time.

The number of online users has skyrocketed.

Within just three seconds of the broadcast starting, it approached the million mark.

Fortunately, the technical staff were already used to Lu Yiming's occasional traffic spikes.

Five lines were diverted.

This prevented the live stream from crashing.

at this time.

Even with the simplified bullet screen function enabled, the bullet screen scrolled at an abnormally fast speed during the live stream.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Wow! So many people! Has everyone seen today's announcement? Do you all have any suggestions regarding the competition format?"

Suggest?

Upon hearing this, many viewers expressed their desire to cancel the cash reward mechanism.

As the saying goes, if you can't have it, destroy it.

This made Lu Yiming laugh and say, "Why do I smell a sour smell?"

A million viewers is a very rare amount of traffic.

Lu Yiming started his live stream and continued to interact with the comments section.

The conversation revolved around the match that starts tomorrow.

All I can say is that the viewers are really jealous.

We strongly urge Lu Yiming to relax the age limit.

They even suggested that Lu Yiming merge the internet cafe competition into the campus competition.

After all, this is a competition system where points can be redeemed.

It's really too tempting!
Looking at the sarcastic comments on the screen.

Lu Yiming shook his head and smiled, "I believe many people have already realized that the core of this campus tournament is to get more young people playing CS:GO."

In fact.

Lu Yiming originally planned to join the high school or junior high school group.

However, this plan was aborted due to unforeseen circumstances. Organizing competitions at universities might not be a problem.

However, if it were implemented in high schools and junior high schools...

The resistance will be terrifyingly high.

Lu Yiming's explanation is the same as what many people on the internet think: compared to empty promises, this kind of simple and straightforward cash reward is the most tempting.

There are thousands of universities across the country.

This does not include vocational schools.

Currently, only a little over a thousand schools have teams participating.

Because of the news that was announced this morning.

This has made many people regret not applying to the school.

At this moment, Lu Yiming stated in the live broadcast that the campus competition is held every year.

I believe that more schools will participate in next year's competition.

But could there be more teams?

That's not necessarily the case.

Well known.

Lu Yiming's platform ranking is divided into four groups.

They are the Silver Group, Gold Group, Master Group, and Legend Group.

Each group is further divided into four smaller segments.

They are Rookie, Rising Star, Guardian, and Elite.

The number of slots for the elite group will only increase as the number of players grows.

For example, the platform currently has 800,000 active players.

That means there are 8,000 spots in the elite group.

The current entry requirements for the campus competition.

Players must be at least at the Legendary Rookie tier to participate.

Zheng Huacai plans to start at the end of the year.

The entire Legendary Group was fixed at 50,000 people.

Only 3,000 spots will be reserved for the Legendary Elite group.

And so it goes.

Firstly, it can increase the prestige of legendary ranks.

Secondly, future campus competitions can prevent some players with questionable skills from coming to rack up points.

at this time.

Some viewers asked in the live chat whether Lu Yiming was solely responsible for the prize money.

Lu Yiming was touched to see that people cared about this issue.

He immediately shook his head and said, "No! This competition is led by Fanxing Group and Perfect Group! Several manufacturers are also sponsoring it, raising a total of over 40 million yuan, enough for all three stages of the campus competition. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank these manufacturers, including Shanghai Volkswagen."

Lu Yiming still has a lot of influence.

In fact, this figure of over 40 million is not the limit.

As long as Lu Yiming speaks.

Even raising 100 million wouldn't be a problem.

Not to mention, the project has a lot of exposure, and even without Lu Yiming's influence, many manufacturers would be willing to sponsor it.

For example, the player "Real Money" hopes to enter the game with three million.

The only requirement is that Lu Yiming mentions them once during his live stream.

But Lu Yiming refused.

Since he left Douyin and returned to Shark platform.

He stopped accepting any advertisements that were not for public welfare purposes.

At this moment, as Lu Yiming read out each manufacturer's name...

The live stream featured a super rocket gifted by a manufacturer's ID.

The contract that Lu Yiming has signed with the platform.

Lu Yiming took all the gifts.

The signing bonus is 50 million per year.

Lu Yiming originally thought that his platform only wanted to take a symbolic one yuan.

But after Cao Siyun reminded her...

Lu Yiming abandoned this naive idea.

The next day arrived.

The campus competition officially opened at 8:00 AM.

During yesterday's live broadcast.

At first, everyone was extremely envious of the mechanism that allowed points to be exchanged for cash.

But then someone raised a point.

This indicates that the points gained from a ten-game winning streak are too few.

According to the matchmaking mechanism described in the competition rules.

Theoretically, it's not impossible for a team to achieve an undefeated record.

However, averaging less than 500 points doesn't seem to reflect the true value of a ten-game winning streak.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming replied, "It is indeed a bit too little! But this is also because we need to consider the overall distribution. Since you have all brought it up, I will make another arrangement! The daily undefeated team will not only receive the original points reward, but will also qualify for the points competition in my live stream. I will prepare the boxes and divide them into five portions according to the existing points table reward value."

Lu Yiming qualified for the points competition.

It can be said that Lu Yiming's fans believe he could only have obtained this through incredible luck.

Upon hearing this, everyone was very satisfied with Lu Yiming's arrangement.

But then I couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

They started complaining about the people who had just stirred up trouble.

Watching the comments section erupt into chaos.

Lu Yiming was overjoyed.

The first day of the campus competition.

You can see matches with a 15-second delay set in the platform's live streaming section.

Rooms for teams on a winning streak will be prioritized and listed earlier.

Many CSGO streamers will observe from the sidelines.

This is also one way they're trying to capitalize on this trend.

It starts at eight o'clock in the morning.

As of noon.

The first team to achieve a five-game winning streak has emerged.

And after winning five consecutive victories.

They were matched with a team that had just won four consecutive games.

Capital City University A Team, with five consecutive wins, vs. Yangcheng University of Technology B Team, with four consecutive wins.

The match attracted a staggering 180,000 spectators.

This is an audience size that many CSGO official tournaments in China have never achieved before.

This is thanks to Lu Yiming's platform, which utilizes the mechanism of dropping items when watching live event broadcasts.

Watch the matches in the live broadcast section.

Platform users have a chance to win lottery tokens for military supplies.

Until 2 PM, before Lu Yiming started his live stream.

Capital City University Team A stopped playing an hour after achieving a six-game winning streak.

[Holy crap! Capital City University Team A is amazing! Six consecutive wins in five hours!]

[Absolutely! If the cameras hadn't been on, I would have thought this team had hired a legendary-level elite player to boost their score!]

[I checked! This team is really awesome! They have three elite members in the Legendary group! The other two are also high-scoring Legendary group guardians; it's only a matter of time before they enter the elite group!]

[Incredible! This team probably has the best chance of a ten-game winning streak today!]

【.】

Before the broadcast, Lu Yiming would routinely check the bullet comments.

The discussion seems to revolve around Team A of the Capital City University.

Lu Yiming immediately took a look at the platform's points leaderboard.

Currently, Capital City University Team A is in first place on the leaderboard. After watching the recording of their sixth game, Lu Yiming nodded slightly.

In Lu Yiming's view, the team's coordination still has many shortcomings.

But as a ranked player.

And he was not even twenty years old.

The five players are capable of performing at this level.

This already surprised Lu Yiming.

You could say they need to be slightly disciplined.

He could be sent directly to any team as a youth player without any problem.

of course.

This does not include Lu Yiming's RSS feed.

Lu Yiming has very high requirements for RSS.

After all, he invested so much.

Simply assembling a team that's evenly matched won't suffice.

It has to be at least the level of a championship seed team to meet his requirements! (End of Chapter)
