CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 356 New Operation Launched
Pangu Corporation has added another department.

Fortunately, the company still had plenty of space, so the team was able to start working immediately after moving in.

As Pangu Company is Lu Yiming's sole proprietorship, it is not required to disclose information to the outside world, so very few people know that Pangu Company has added a new team.

This information cannot be found online at all.

In the following days, the topic of drones gradually faded away, and Lu Yiming's live broadcast room returned to its usual state.

That afternoon, Lu Yiming went live.

Last night, CS:GO released an announcement that a new major operation is about to launch. Unlike previous operations that were teased in advance, this time the announcement was made on Thursday and the operation will launch directly on Saturday.

Seeing the comments, I laughed and said, "I know! It's not out yet~ I'll go live as soon as it's released tomorrow, okay!"

Valve's major initiatives are characterized by a lack of proactiveness.

This is the first major operation in six months, making players wonder if there will be two major operations a year from now on.

Unlike other games, CSGO's Operations mode is very player-friendly, including both paying and low-spending players.

Pay-to-win players enjoy the thrill of spending money, while low-spending players are drawn to the benefits of major operations. Generally, as long as they play long enough, the cost of purchasing major operations can be recouped.

Some people who are gambling have a chance to turn their luck around, and even if they lose, they only lose the cost of a major operation, which is something that many games on the market cannot do.

Regarding this question, Lu Yiming shook his head with a smile and said, "It's probably impossible! It would be good enough if we could release it ahead of schedule. In fact, I raised this issue at the annual meeting, asking if we could launch two major initiatives in one year, but during the video conference, I saw that the engineers in charge of the development team had dark faces!"

These words caught the attention of the viewers.

Many people flooded the screen with comments, urging Lu Yiming to elaborate.

The first thirty minutes of the broadcast were for casual chatting, and Lu Yiming satisfied the curiosity of his viewers.

"At the beginning of the year, I attended Valve's internal annual meeting, but their Chinese New Year holiday was different from ours, so it was actually before December. I participated in the meeting via video."

Lu Yiming is willing to share, and he's the only one who would talk about this kind of thing in his live stream. However, the content of this meeting is actually available on foreign websites, but his speech was cut out, which is why it didn't cause any waves in the gaming community.

Upon hearing that his proposal had been rejected, the viewers expressed their indignation and urged Lu Yiming to use his power to dismiss the engineer who had offended him.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming said with a strange expression, "Wait a minute~ have you guys gotten too cocky?"

The viewers were obviously joking with Lu Yiming, but if Lu Yiming actually listened, they would be happy to see the fun.

The news of the new major operation was only announced yesterday.

Related information has been leaked online, and it was actually released by the official channels themselves. Fans want to know if there is any more detailed information about Lu Yiming as a shareholder.

Seeing the comments trying to divert his attention, Lu Yiming didn't point it out and replied to their new question, "I do know a lot of information that you don't know yet, but because you tried to frame me just now, I've decided that I'll wait until tomorrow's broadcast to release this information!"

The moment these words were spoken, the viewers immediately became anxious.

Once the major operation is about to begin tomorrow, his information will be useless. They're waiting to get firsthand information from Lu Yiming so they can show off elsewhere.
At this point, the viewers collectively apologized.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Alright! I'll just tell you three things you probably don't know! First, let me tell you the known intelligence! This major operation is related to water, involves a new map and new agents, etc. There are no new knives in the weapon crates that can be exchanged, but there are four different collectibles that can be exchanged! You should all know this, right?"

Upon hearing this, viewers flooded the chat with comments confirming that this information had been circulating online since last night.

Lu Yiming continued, "Now I'll tell you something that only I know! The Gamma series skins will be used on gun skins for the first time! As far as I know, it should be the Glock gun, and the way to obtain it will be very simple and straightforward."

As soon as these words came out.

Many viewers in the live stream were immediately intrigued, as the amount of information was considerable, especially since Lu Yiming stated that the method of obtaining it would be simple and straightforward.

Ignoring the viewers' speculations, Lu Yiming continued, "There's a gold AK in the collection! Well, that's all for now! Actually, you'll find out tomorrow! There's nothing much to reveal! I'm only personally interested in these two! I think the white USP is nice too, but it needs at least four zeros to be worth buying. I'll see if I can get it!"

This statement emphasizes a casualness.

But the viewers in the live stream went crazy for it.

Golden AK?

Is it what they're thinking?

Don’t say it yet!
If the initial expectation level was 60, then with the information revealed by Lu Yiming, the expectation level has skyrocketed.

That afternoon.

Lu Yiming's live stream became a consultation center for CSGO players, who tried to get him to reveal more content. However, Lu Yiming felt there was nothing to reveal and ignored the comments.

At the same time, the news he exposed swept across the entire internet.

With the golden AK and the Gamma Glock, the arrival of tomorrow became the collective anticipation of CSGO players.

During the unboxing segment, Lu Yiming couldn't help but reveal another piece of information, but it was nothing significant. It simply meant that the translated content for the boxes and accessories would be completed simultaneously, which normally takes at least a week after the event goes live.

The next day.

It was 8 PM overseas, but 8 AM in China. CSGO started its non-stop update, and Lu Yiming started his live stream as scheduled in the morning.

Update time: two hours.

Lu Yiming started his broadcast at 9:30.

Facing a massive audience the moment the broadcast started, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "You guys really want to see me lose money! Two million! Don't exaggerate!"

Before the broadcast ended yesterday.

Lu Yiming promised to give away CSGO Operation Passes for the new event at a ratio of 1:10, based on the number of viewers in the live stream today, using the data from 10:00 AM as a benchmark. With the current viewership of over 2.3 million, he would have to give away more than 230,000 passes during the live stream today.

A Grand Operation Pass costs 98 yuan, which is over 20 million yuan, but he doesn't have to pay for it.

After his stream ended yesterday, Shark Platform CEO Yang Chengshun contacted him. Subsequently, Lu Yiming acted as an intermediary to help him contact Valve, and the two parties reached a cooperation agreement. Lu Yiming did not inquire about the specific details, but he knew that he had acquired 300,000 Operation Pass CD keys at a very favorable price.

Viewers can see real-time data on the number of people online in the live stream.

Seeing the outrageously high number of over two million, they were overjoyed.

Seeing some of the teasing comments on the screen, Lu Yiming couldn't help but grin and say, "Losing money? Sorry! This event was initiated by Shark Platform! I don't need to spend a single penny! Brothers, no offense, but my gaming platform has at least five million active users, and you guys only have a little over two million people~ Tsk tsk~"

Those two "tsk tsk" sounds were a stroke of genius, and the viewers clamored to call for backup.

Soon, it was 9:50 AM, ten minutes before the start of the new CS:GO operation, and the number of viewers in Lu Yiming's live stream had already reached 2.98 million.

This wasn't just a CSGO player; you could say half the platform's users flocked to his stream to join the fun.

Yang Chengshun, who was watching the live stream, was grinning from ear to ear. In less than half an hour since Lu Yiming started broadcasting, the number of new user registrations on the platform had exceeded 300,000.

In addition to the more than 300,000 yuan invested from last night to today, the investment of more than 1,000 yuan has added more than 600,000 new users. Although not many will stay in the end, this money has already been earned back more than double from the stock market.

The stock price rose 10 points at the opening, and it is estimated that the stock price will return to its historical high by the closing price today.

soon.

At exactly 10 o'clock, Lu Yiming restarted the client. After logging in again, the new operation area appeared on the game interface.

And the name is the same as what was revealed.

Operation Rapids.

Holy crap! Can this Gamma Glock be directly replaced? Am I seeing things?

[Upstairs! You read that right! You can exchange for it directly! No wonder CEO Lu said the way to get this gun is simple and straightforward! It really is simple and straightforward! You just get one randomly with 100 stars? That's awesome!]

[I've already decided! Once I get the battle pass and complete all 100 stars, I'll use it to pull for this Glock!]

[Hiss~ A silver-clad USP? Is this the white USP that CEO Lu was talking about? Only twenty-one times? I'll just sell it! Just get a brand new one! I'm not asking for much!]

[Where's the Golden AK? I just want to know where the Golden AK is!]

【.】

With nearly three million viewers, only Lu Yiming's home computer could manage to keep the live stream running without any lag. In fact, Shark platform had already set up a separate server for Lu Yiming to run the live stream.

One set of equipment can serve up to 100,000 people, and a total of 30 sets were prepared. At this time, viewers watching the live stream were constantly being kicked out of the live stream room, while the engineers at Shark Company were in a panic and hurriedly diverting viewers to other servers.

The comments are so dense that it's impossible to read what the viewers are saying. Even with the simplified comment function enabled, the sheer volume of comments is simply not enough.

Lu Yiming also gave up on watching the live stream and started streaming on his own. He looked through the content one by one and soon saw the accessories that the viewers were currently most interested in.

AK47 Golden Vines.

How to say~
Maybe it's nostalgia~
Most domestic FPS players have played the game CF. Before the early days of hero-level weapons, the gold series weapons were rare in the game. Back then, if you had a gold AK or a gold Desert Eagle, your teammates would flock to you.

At this time.

Lu Yiming's live stream has stabilized. By manually pausing the scrolling of the chat, it can be seen that most viewers want to see Lu Yiming start the game.

Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Alright! But there's a limit to how much I can spend! Today, my main goal is to try my luck with these two-star items. I'll only open a hundred of each to test the waters!"

Besides purchasing the Operation Pass and completing missions to earn stars, you can also purchase 100 stars for 298 RMB by spending real money.

Based on the calculation that opening a regular collectible box costs two stars, it would cost about six yuan per opening.

Lu Yiming had over 100,000 in his Steam balance, which he obtained by selling unused accessories he had drawn on the market. He quickly bought twenty sets of 2,000 stars.

Then we prepared to unpack it.

The plan is to open 100 of each of the three collectibles that only cost two stars, which would cost 600 stars. Then, open the Silver-Clad USP (which costs 20 stars per opening) 10 times and the Glock 10 times, which would cost 1,800 stars. The remaining 200 stars will be used to buy 100 Operation Weapon Cases. Considering the daily key limit, this will be just over half of the total. The rest can be used to focus on the unsatisfactory project.

The plan had already been revealed to the viewers in the live stream before the operation, and during the operation, they all speculated about the outcome of Lu Yiming's unboxing.

The cost of two thousand stars is five thousand nine hundred and sixty, plus one thousand seventy for one hundred keys, for a total cost of seven thousand six hundred and sixty.

Don't ask! It's a guaranteed huge profit! Boss Lu's unboxing is all about luck! You'll at least make half!

Half? Who do you think you are! I'll give you a number! Ten thousand!

[Haha~ You guys are really good at talking~ But I feel like I'd break even if I just got a golden AK! Anyone guys opening crates right now?]

[Are you stupid? Just watch President Lu unbox it! Unboxing it now would be a waste of time, wouldn't it?]

[The person upstairs is so sensible! It's true, you shouldn't have fun with President Lu; Brother Bao learned that the hard way!]

[Haha~ You called me "Brother Bao"? Please call me "Ren the Man Without Gold"!]

【.】

I unboxed it while watching the comments.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Bao Ge has become obsessed with opening CS:GO cases. He feels restless if he doesn't open hundreds a day, but his main point about opening cases is authenticity.

The highest record was opening 200 gold-free accounts every day for a week.

Only Bao Ge's fans can understand the meaning of "no gold figure". Lu Yiming then laughed and said, "Bao Ge will come to visit in a few days! I'll teach her how to unpack it then!"

As soon as these words came out.

Bao Ge's fans in the live stream were immediately intrigued; this was news they hadn't heard before.

soon.

All 420 boxes were opened in a total of 17 minutes, which is very fast. Lu Yiming's fans think he could try to set a world record for opening boxes.

Anyway, among all the unboxing streamers, he's the one who does the unboxing the fastest and most smoothly.

In fact, this is normal.

For other streamers, unboxing is part of their program content, and it's a costly program content, so naturally they want to drag it out as long as possible, and they can even justify it as part of the program's effect.

Lu Yiming has absolutely no need for it.

He can't possibly open all the boxes, and he's never short of people asking him to open boxes. He wishes there was a one-click unboxing button. Compared to wasting time, he'd rather quickly open boxes so his viewers can see the results they want to know as soon as possible.

At this moment, he crossed his hands and made hand movements.

Smiling, he said to the camera, "Alright, brothers! Four hundred and twenty boxes! It's been a while since we've had a guessing game, so let's have one today! Just guess how many gold boxes we can win! Collectible boxes, excluding Glocks, also count as gold if they're Covert!"
