CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 253 Di Ting is truly a treasure!

On June 20th.

Lu Yiming received a monthly sign-in lucky bag for his daily sign-in.

Including the ones from May.

He already had two unopened lucky bags in his backpack.

Since learning about the annual lucky bag gift pack, Lu Yiming has lowered his expectations for the monthly lucky bag gift pack, which has led him to consider stockpiling more to open together.

After all, they open one every month and look forward to the next one.

This kind of torment is quite unbearable.

But it's different if you hoard them and don't open them.

Looking at the lucky bags lying in my backpack, my mood improved exponentially as the number of them increased.

Lu Yiming's live stream currently features three main content categories.

One was a campus competition, another was a trial match for his team, and the third was a points competition for the undefeated team in the daily campus competition.

These three.

The first is that it can continuously provide Lu Yiming with traffic.

The second benefit is that it can bring Lu Yiming traffic on Monday and Tuesday afternoons that is comparable to that of a weekend evening live stream.

The third one was a day for his fans to enjoy a change of pace.

Apart from the three live stream content.

Lu Yiming's daily live streams are divided into two parts.

Unboxing, as a core element, occupies two-thirds of Lu Yiming's live stream time.

The other part is the daily game segment.

As a streamer in the CSGO section, Lu Yiming naturally focuses on playing CSGO, and most importantly, his CSGO skills are not bad.

This evening.

Lu Yiming finished his daily unboxing and prepared to go to CSGO.

But the game happened to be under maintenance at the time.

At this time.

Many people in the live chat suggested that he try playing CrossFire (CF).

Since CF partnered with Diting...

Although it has only been a little over a week.

However, quite a few players have indeed returned as a result.

As the channel list gradually turned red.

There are signs of a revival.

Lu Yiming was just about to accept the suggestion from his viewers when he saw the comments on the screen.

But then he thought of something.

He immediately said, "Let's skip CF today! Let's play a game I haven't played in ages!"

Say it.

Lu Yiming opened Steam.

Lu Yiming doesn't actually play many games on this platform.

Let's leave the hidden details aside.

On the surface, there's only one wallpaper app, along with CS:GO and PUBG.

CSGO is currently unavailable.

Although the wallpaper app also has games to play, netizens are certain that Lu Yiming would never play them.

Then there is only one answer!

He's accepted an advertisement to promote his new game!

Until Lu Yiming clicked to start PUBG.

The barrage is full of question marks.

Lu Yiming looked at the reactions of the viewers in the live chat.

He immediately laughed and said, "What? Can't I play PUBG?"

It's not that you can't play!
But it's in the hearts of the fans.

There is a conflict between Lu Yiming and PUBG.

this point.

Since the end of last year, Mozi and Tuantuan have gradually reduced the duration of their PUBG live streams, and now they only play a few games occasionally as part of the show.

In addition, this was also part of previous live streams.

Many viewers have suggested that he try playing PUBG.

However, Lu Yiming ignored all of these comments.

All of this proves it.

Lu Yiming doesn't get along with PUBG and doesn't want to play the game.

at this time.

Lu Yiming saw the replies from his viewers.

He immediately laughed and said, "You're overthinking it! What's wrong with playing our own game!"

As soon as these words came out.

The viewers in the live stream were taken aback.

Then came a frantic barrage of questions in the live chat.

[Holy crap! What does this mean?! Mr. Lu, you acquired Bluehole?!]

[Does this mean we'll have a "Listen" (谛听) in PUBG? Did I hear that right?]

[Take off! If PUBG didn't have cheaters, I can't even imagine how popular this game would be!]

【? ? ? ? 】

【.】

The live chat exploded instantly.

This is comparable to Lu Yiming revealing his income the night before last.

Lu Yiming's live stream was filled with a large number of CSGO players.

But these players.

A significant portion of them are converted from PUBG.

Or perhaps they were in a period of hesitation about whether or not to quit the game.

Just then, Lu Yiming became a sensation.

In addition, they created a platform that claimed to be absolutely free of cheats.

I came here to try it out, just to see what would happen.

The appeal of competitive games lies in the pleasure brought by the release of dopamine at the moment of victory.

Lu Yiming's platform not only achieves a truly pure and green gaming environment.

It also made efforts to improve the game's playability in all aspects, including the interaction system, training system, and reward mechanism.

These things are actually not difficult to do.

The difficulty is that no game company will actually do it.

Simply take the monthly tournament rewards from the platform.

While other games may also give away some items, most of those items are only valuable within the game itself, whereas the monthly tournament rewards are real items that can be traded through third-party platforms.

The allure is on a completely different level.

The rewards given are not at the same level of cost.

For example, the current monthly competition in June hasn't started yet.

The grand prize announced was ten ruby ​​claw knives.

A ruby ​​claw knife is currently worth over 50,000 yuan.

Ten of them would be more than 500,000.

This is just the jackpot.

In fact, the jackpot only accounts for one-tenth of the total prize pool value.

Say something.

When Lu Yiming said that PUBG was his own game.

Many people have already started imagining that PUBG will be launched on Lu Yiming's platform, followed by prize-winning events of the same caliber as CS:GO.

at this time.

Lu Yiming has already logged into his account.

He did not respond to the questions from the viewers.

The topic has been sparked.

All that's left is to wait for the hype to build up.

I did not choose to play ranked matches.

Since it had been a long time since he had played, Lu Yiming immediately started a match.

In fact.

Currently due to special circumstances.

It is not possible to directly stream PUBG on the Shark platform.

I can only stream it secretly in the console gaming section.

It doesn't have its own section.

This also contributed to the game's decline in popularity.

However, no one cares about Lu Yiming's live streams. Even Tuantuan and Mozi can stream whenever they want. Whether there are any problems is a question that can only be discussed after the live stream ends.

The start of the game.

The live chat was filled with all sorts of questions.

The viewers were eager to get to the bottom of things and wanted to know more details.

At this moment, Lu Yiming said, "Don't ask! The specific details will be announced tomorrow! I'm just giving you a heads-up so you won't blame me for not telling you this big news in advance!"

In fact.

Lu Yiming only received the news just before the broadcast started.

He partnered with a newly established overseas game company of Tencent and successfully acquired the copyright for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

After Lu Yiming said those words.

His attention was focused on the game screen, and he stopped looking at what the viewers were saying in the live chat.

At this point, the viewers began to share their guesses.

The reason why official history is necessary is that unofficial history should not become the only source of information for future generations to understand the past.

Since Lu Yiming didn't say it outright.

That way, it won't stop the netizens from making wild guesses.

That night.

The news that Lu Yiming had taken over PUBG quickly became a trending topic.

There are even rumors that the game will soon be released on the Perfect World platform, and it will be free to play!

Players of PUBG spread the word quickly, creating a festive atmosphere reminiscent of Chinese New Year.

That night.

The human customer service of the Perfect World All-People Platform.

The most frequently asked question is when PUBG will be released.

This led to Lu Zhen of Perfect Group.

I had no choice but to call Lu Yiming to find out what was going on.

"Mr. Lu, is it true that there's a PUBG login platform?"

Lu Zhen's tone emphasized caution.

The expression clearly conveyed anticipation.

Say something.

If PUBG could be launched on the Perfect World All-People Platform and become one of the games operated by the platform, he and the board of directors would be laughing all the way to the bank.

In fact.

If he hadn't found out so late last night...

The call wouldn't have come so late, at 10 a.m. this morning.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming asked in confusion, "Who said that? How come I don't know anything about it?"

Hear this.

Lu Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

I immediately explained the current situation online.

It was learned that this was just speculation by netizens.

Lu Yiming said speechlessly, "President Lu! Making baseless accusations is not like you! Besides, you can't be unaware that this was a collaboration between me and Tencent, can you?"

Hear this.

Lu Zhen raised an eyebrow.

He knew that Lu Yiming had collaborated with Tencent.

He genuinely didn't know about the collaboration between the two companies regarding PUBG.

soon.

Lu Yiming learned that Lu Zhen was unaware of the situation.

It's truly impressive how well Tencent has kept things under wraps.

Even someone of Lu Zhen's stature hadn't received a tip-off.

However, since his partner had taken such good precautions to keep things confidential, he couldn't reveal too much to Lu Zhen.

He immediately said, "Since you don't know, then I won't say anything more! I didn't win PUBG on my own, so I can't make the decisions about it alone!"

That's all I can say.

Lu Zhen understood and didn't ask any further questions.

The two then exchanged a few words briefly before ending the call.

The call had just ended.

Another call came in.

The caller was Yang Chengshun, CEO of Shark Platform.

"Good morning, Mr. Lu! I'm sorry to bother you! I'm here to report on the platform's recent situation."

Before Yang Chengshun could finish speaking...

Lu Yiming interrupted, "Let's get straight to the point!"

Yang Chengshun would indeed report the platform's situation to Lu Yiming.

But it's mostly during the last few days of the month.

The call coming early this time was definitely not about this.

Yang Chengshun, who was giving a report at this moment, was interrupted by Lu Yiming and paused.

He then frankly stated, "It's like this, Mr. Lu! We hope to secure the exclusive live streaming rights for PUBG! I wonder if Mr. Lu could..."

In fact.

Shark platform cannot openly broadcast PUBG.

The main issue is copyright.

Like Lu Zhen.

He had been trying to contact Lu Yiming since last night.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming raised an eyebrow.

Although Shark Platform holds a controlling stake, it is not actually its own company. Just like Perfect World's All-People Platform, it also involves cooperation with Perfect World. Faced with Lu Zhen's expectations, Lu Yiming did not make any statement.

However, Yang Chengshun is still different from Lu Zhen.

As a member of the group, they are clearly on our side.

Lu Yiming said softly, "There are still some differences between what's being said about PUBG and what's circulating online. Now is not the time to talk about it. I will help make the connection when the time is right."

Hear this.

Having achieved his goal, Yang Chengshun happily stated that there were no problems.

Starting that day.

The popularity of PUBG has increased several times over.

It was a weekend.

This can be considered as the number of daily active users on that day.

This is more than the number of active users over the weekends in the previous weeks of this month combined.

At noon that day.

A piece of news from the gaming industry immediately swept across the entire internet.

Bluehole sold its PUBG business as a package deal.

As for the company that was purchased.

It was established less than a week ago.

The company was established overseas, and no one knows who the controlling shareholder is, but domestic netizens can guess who it is.

At least Lu Yiming can't escape.

After all, he already mentioned it in his live stream last night.

Compared to domestic players, overseas players are worried that the game's change of operators might prevent them from playing the game.

But soon.

The newly established Fanteng Technology Company.

In other words, the new operator of PUBG released an announcement.

The announcement stated...

The game will continue as usual, and it was announced that the Listening Anti-Cheat Tool will be launched soon.

It was after this news was released.

The game was immediately put into maintenance.

The server is expected to open at 3 PM.

2 p.m.

Lu Yiming started the broadcast on time.

The current discussions surrounding PUBG are already quite heated, and players have many questions that Lu Yiming needs to answer.

For example, how much did the acquisition cost?

For example, what changes might occur in the game in the future?

At the same time, what players care about most is whether the in-game trading system will be reopened.

The moment the broadcast started.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Goodness! So many questions! Which one should I answer first?"

As soon as these words came out.

The viewers immediately became excited.

It's worth noting that if Lu Yiming doesn't want to talk about something, he'll usually ignore it. But since he's said this, it means he's prepared to respond to these questions.

soon.

Lu Yiming responded to the three major issues that players are currently concerned about.

The first question is how much money was spent to acquire PUBG.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "It's really inconvenient to say, but I do have a small goal of three digits."

A three-digit goal?

So you mean it cost tens of billions?

As soon as these words came out.

The live stream chat immediately erupted in an uproar.

Many big names in the gaming industry are currently watching.

Compared to the netizens who were amazed by the price.

They nodded slightly at the price offered by Lu Yiming.

It will definitely cost tens of billions.

After all, Bluehole's $30 billion market value was actually driven by the game PUBG.

It all depends on whether it's 10 billion or 20 billion.

It's definitely impossible for it to exceed 30 billion.

To be honest, 20 billion is a bit of a loss.

With such immense popularity right now, plus the added boost from Diting, even if you invest 20 billion, breaking even is just a matter of time.

At this moment, Lu Zhen was looking at Lu Yiming in the live broadcast room.

He immediately shook his head with a puzzled look and said, "What a pity! We, Perfect World, didn't get on this bandwagon. If we had incorporated PUBG into our esports system, I really can't imagine what the future would have been like!"

After sighing.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

He picked up the phone on the table and said, "Connect me to the project manager!"

Three seconds later.

The operations manager answered the phone.

Lu Zhen said in a deep voice, "Get ready! I need to expand the PUBG esports project plan! Gather relevant personnel in the conference room in half an hour!"

Imagine.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) is about to be revived.

He couldn't get a seat in the VIP section.

But you still need to buy a first-class ticket.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhen looked at Lu Yiming in the live stream and exclaimed, "Di Ting is truly a treasure! I wish it were developed by Perfect World!"
