CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 361 We'll see what happens in this year's competition

Lu Yiming had originally planned to leave in the morning, but He Haijian's visit kept him there until noon before he was ready to leave.

Last night, RSS won the Spring Tournament, and there were as many as six trending topics on social media. Lu Yiming was on two of them, and four of them were related to him.

Upon arriving back in Xingcheng, Lu Yiming received a call from Cao Siyun. After learning that the contract had been officially signed, he hung up the phone with a broad smile.

How to say~
Life was going too smoothly for him, which made him feel surrounded by happiness for a while. Especially after he returned home, his two little ones, sitting in their walkers, saw him and immediately rushed towards him, babbling all the while.

The rollers made a rattling sound on the wooden floor.

Whether it was due to the medicinal bath or not, Lu Yiming's child's development and health were both astonishing to the doctors.

Thanks to Fu Xiaoli's tireless efforts, the two children have learned to say "mama". Normally, even if a six-month-old child can speak using some letters with vowels as the main sounds, they cannot specifically associate these sounds with grandpa, grandma, dad, mom. But the two little ones are different. They only say "mama" to Fu Xiaoli, and only babble to others.

Even he, as the father, could only recognize him.

As the two little ones ran towards him, Lu Yiming put down his briefcase, squatted down, and opened his arms to welcome them.

Fu Xiaoli watched the three of them with a gentle expression from a short distance away.

living room.

Lu Yiming held one in each arm, and the two restless girls twisted and turned in his arms until Fu Xiaoli reached out and took one of them, which relieved Lu Yiming's current predicament.

"Are you done with your work?" Fu Xiaoli asked without looking up, her gaze fixed on her son in her arms. The two little ones would quiet down as soon as they were separated.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming replied, "Yes! It's a milestone achievement for the project! We've also reached a strategic cooperation agreement with the higher-ups, so I guess when the kids grow up, we'll have the opportunity to take them to space for a trip!"

Hear this.

Fu Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him, then muttered, "I can't let you take me to the sky. I'm already terrified when you're in a plane, and you think you can fly into space? Are you trying to make me worry to death?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming burst into laughter and seized the opportunity to kiss Fu Xiaoli on the cheek. The latter blushed slightly and gave him a charmingly reproachful look.

At this moment, Lu Yiming said, "Don't worry! I wouldn't have taken you there if it wasn't safe!"

After saying that, he pulled Fu Xiaoli into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Just imagine~ how romantic it would be if our family had a candlelight dinner in space~ and we'd probably be the first family in history to eat outside of Earth~ we'd be famous throughout history!"

Upon hearing those words...

Fu Xiaoli was quite tempted, but she completely ignored the latter half.

Fame and glory meant nothing to her; she was content with anything as long as her family was together. Their eyes met, and they drew closer, but just as they were about to kiss, their daughter and son suddenly started to wriggle.
3pm.

Lu Yiming sat down in front of the computer. He had already asked for leave for himself this morning as planned, but since he had nothing else to do, he decided to start a live broadcast.

If I can end the broadcast normally, I can spend the evening with my family again.

There weren't many people in the live stream room, only about a thousand, who were using it as a chat app. The moment he started the live stream, he startled them, but what followed was a pleasant surprise.

"Brothers! There don't seem to be many people here! Let's take this opportunity to send out some red envelopes! Two hundred each, a thousand each! First come, first served!! Don't think it's too little! That's all we can send!"

Two hundred red envelopes is the maximum number of red envelopes that can be sent without prior notification, and the maximum number is one thousand.

There were only a little over a thousand people in the live stream. Upon hearing this, they happily said they wouldn't. Two hundred yuan wasn't much, but it was free, which made them happy.

During the distribution of red envelopes, the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed. These were all people who came after receiving a text message from him announcing that he was going live. The number of viewers exceeded 60,000 in just three minutes.

It's already quite impressive that so many people came, especially since I was notified in advance that I was taking the day off on a weekday.

[Holy crap! Mr. Lu! Didn't you say you were on leave? Why are you suddenly streaming?!]

[What did I miss?! A live-streamed red envelope giveaway with only 2,700 participants!]

[LOL~ CEO Lu secretly went live again and gave out red envelopes~ But I was lucky enough to grab one! Hahaha~]

[I was wondering why I heard magpies chirping when I went out today—turns out they were hinting that I was going to win the lottery! Thanks to Mr. Lu for the 200 yuan red envelope! The money for the big operation is here!]

[President Lu! RSS won last night and you replied today~ You're definitely not his favorite son~ Hahaha!]

【.】

When there are many people in the live stream, all sorts of things come up.

Lu Yiming really wanted to say that he went to see his own rocket last night, but he naturally couldn't reveal the details of a confidential project beforehand.

It's very difficult to hold back from sharing good news.

He started his live stream and interacted with his viewers. Soon, the news of his live stream spread like wildfire among his fans, and within just half an hour, the number of viewers in his live stream room exceeded 300,000.

That's an alarming number of people online.

It's only been a few days since it broke three million!

As a result, the market value of Shark Platform nearly doubled.

His current motivation for starting live streams comes entirely from opening boxes and winning lucky treasure chests. Many people say that at this rate of opening boxes, he will eventually cause the market to collapse.

However, the current reality is that the value of jewelry is concentrated at the high end, with brand new items selling for 300 and slightly worn items selling for 100. This gives players who can afford high-end jewelry a space to show off, while also making jewelry affordable for ordinary players.

The left and right sides don't need to be brand new.
The same applies to gloves and knives. The value of high-end jewelry increases more steadily than that of the stock market. For example, a pair of gloves from Miami, slightly worn, start at a minimum of 80,000 and a maximum of 280,000, while brand new ones start at 600,000.

Pandora is even more terrifying. A pair of worn-out Pandora shoes can be exchanged for three pairs of Miami shoes. If a brand-new Pandora shoe can be ranked in the top ten, its value starts at five million.

Jewelry isn't afraid of high prices, but rather of a lack of buyers. However, the current market for high-end jewelry is still quite active. At least for Pandora, the number of brand-new pieces in circulation has exceeded two hundred, and the daily transaction volume can be maintained at around five, which basically means that the circulation is still quite good.

However, statistics from Lu Yiming's live stream videos show that of the few hundred brand-new Miami gloves in existence, more than twenty pairs were sold through Lu Yiming's live stream.

At this moment, Lu Yiming saw comments on the screen.

He immediately grinned and said, "Only twenty pairs? I thought there would be over a hundred!"

The viewers were amused by this remark.

Lu Yiming has opened at least 80 or 100 Miami items, just at different wear levels. Normally, brand new items are the hardest to open, but according to statistics, Lu Yiming's probability of getting battle-worn items is much lower than that of brand new items, and even the drop rate of badly damaged items is not as high as that of brand new items.

This excited some people, and some even accused him of colluding with the official channels on Bilibili.

of course.

Lu Yiming naturally wouldn't respond to them, but in the end, he did indeed use cheats, only the system cheats were so advanced that no one would know unless he admitted it.

No~
Even if he admits it, people will think he's joking.
Operation Riptide has only been going on for a few days, and most of the crates opened in the past few days have been new crates from Operation Riptide. However, not many people are choosing to open weapon crates. Only ten crates a day are opened on two days. Most people are opening collectible crates, especially the Golden AK. Lu Yiming has already opened more than ten Golden AKs in just a few days.

The legendary weapons have been officially removed, but a new bug has appeared: after the modification, the weapons suddenly became tradable.

Um..
Then it was changed back.

Operation BUG performed quite consistently, though he always made some mistakes. Lu Yiming could see that some people in the live chat wanted to see him open the castle chest.

Lu Yiming asked with a strange expression, "By the way, did Brother Bao's dream come true?"

Bao Ge has now made unboxing a regular part of his daily live streams, always unboxing high-value boxes, which takes up about an hour of his live stream time. The results are quite good, with peak viewership sometimes exceeding 500,000.

of course.

This needs to be done at a time when it doesn't coincide with Lu Yiming's live stream.

The so-called "Brother Bao's Dream Come True" is another streamer who, following Brother Shazi's Dream Come True, is stuck on the grave of the Dragon Sniper rifle.

In fact, Lu Yiming should have helped him fulfill his dream before, but unfortunately his fans said that what Lu Yiming offered didn't count. I don't know what Bao Ge was thinking, but he generously agreed with the fans' opinion.

From this point on, the conflict with the castle box began.

According to incomplete statistics, after Lu Yiming helped him get a Dragon Lore Sniper rifle, Bao Ge opened about two thousand more cases, and as a result, the price of a Castle case is now stable at around 20,000.

The number of surviving pieces is so small that there are probably no more than twenty in the entire market.

Opening a hundred of them would cost two million, so Brother Bao can only use them for special occasions and entertainment purposes. At most, he might open Counter-Strike weapon crates or something.

And then there were the jokes and banter on the screen.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but smile. He then logged into his account and scrolled down to reveal nearly a hundred inventory components.

Actually, a third of them were already empty, all used for daily consumption in the platform's lottery. Lu Yiming circled the two inventory components named Dragon One and Dragon Two with his mouse, saying as he did so, "Bro! I remember the Castle was only 800 each~ Am I remembering wrong?"

It can no longer be called an implication.

The live stream chat exploded with excitement upon hearing this.

Holy crap! Could both boxes be full of castles? More than a thousand castles?!

[That's not all! Isn't there another one, Long San? Over two thousand crates of castles?]

[President Lu is indeed the biggest shrewd businessman! How much of this has he stockpiled?!]

[Haha! Mr. Lu never actually sells any of his jewelry! It's all given out as rewards to the platform! His livestreams used to be all about buying things—everyone called him an idiot back then! Now they're probably kicking themselves!]

[Hilarious! There are still people saying Mr. Lu is a businessman? Mr. Lu doesn't sell any of the things in his warehouse! I remember when butterfly knives were 800 yuan, Mr. Lu spent hundreds of thousands to stock up on a lot of them. I can only say that Mr. Lu has a really sharp eye!]

[Hilarious! It would take Brother Bao a month to collect 100 of them. Boss Lu has so many, why doesn't Brother Bao just buy his stock from you?]

[Brother Bao's problem isn't that he can't receive them! It's just that they're too expensive and he doesn't want to open too many at once—that's just an excuse.]

Not necessarily! The production of Castle Cases in the market has stopped. Someone has calculated the current number of Castle Cases remaining, and based on the number of Dragon Lore Sniper ...

[Damn it! I saw a castle drop during the live stream of the match, but I stupidly opened it myself~]

【.】

Lu Yiming's inventory is no secret.

Long-time viewers generally know that he has hoarded a lot of things, but they don't know exactly what he hoarded or how much he swallowed.

At this moment, the comments section was filled with requests for Lu Yiming to reveal the secret.

Lu Yiming shrugged and said, "I've accumulated about half a small target's worth of treasures. But since I started early, they're not very valuable. I bought the castle chests from a few merchants who ran away. They ranged in price from eight hundred to three thousand. I collected over four thousand in total, and I've used over a thousand of them. Now I have about three thousand left."

About three thousand~
Based on the current value, it's worth 60 million. But according to the cost range Lu Yiming mentioned, even if the cost is calculated at 3,000, it would only be a little over 10 million, making a profit of five times!

Even if the 3,000 yuan invested in the market depreciates, it will still be worth at least 10,000 yuan, which is a very good return on investment, far ahead of inflation.

Now that he was logged into his own account, Lu Yiming took the opportunity to spend some money during the live stream. He opened the Perfect Star Battle Platform, which now has a built-in item trading function.

It hasn't been seven days yet, and the Riptide items available for trading on the market haven't been released. However, through the platform's trading market, you can directly connect to the official trading platform, and the interface is much simpler than the official platform.

There's no need to get the Silver-Clad USP anymore. The Dark Gold weapon he got is already at the ceiling of wear, currently holding the top spot on the wear leaderboard. Although it only has six followed by three zeros, Lu Yiming suspects that the only way to surpass it is through alchemy and a bit of luck.

His target was the Golden Vine AK.

His brand-new unique 661 hasn't been back in his inventory for a long time. Anyway, it's either someone borrowing it or someone else borrowing it. Rather than waiting, he might as well get a new main battle weapon.

At this moment, Lu Yiming directly found a brand-new, worn Golden Vine. Seeing that it only cost a little over ten thousand, he immediately laughed and said, "What do you guys think? I'm planning to buy a Golden Vine! Any suitable stickers to recommend?"

The most popular sticker for the Golden Vine is the crown.

However, Lu Yiming's fans had a new idea and suggested that he create a commemorative item that could be traded.

And you know what?
That's a really good suggestion.

However, thinking of something, Lu Yiming shook his head and laughed, "Never mind! I'll wait and see what happens in this year's competition."

Upon hearing this, the viewers' eyes lit up. RSS, which qualified for the competition, would definitely receive stickers. They had all forgotten about it if Lu Yiming hadn't mentioned it.

They immediately asked if the RSS sticker design was ready.

Lu Yiming didn't explain, but the smile on his face said it all.
