CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 54 Conspiracy loudly
The company is still in the preparatory stage.

Lu Yiming will resign only after all the formalities are completed.

That noon, Shark platform announced the rules for this year's annual event.

The entire platform was talking about this matter for a while.

This year's rules seem like you can just leech off rewards! There are even three stages: qualifiers, group stages, and the finals. Wouldn't it be simpler to just compete by donating a large sum each day?

[Haha! How can you harvest profits if the tournament format isn't complicated? Anyway, PDD said last night he's not playing! Qiezi is only aiming for a good ranking in the group stage.]

[Is President Lu really not going to play? I looked at the tournament rules, and it seems like he should be able to field a Silver-level player in the preliminary rounds, right?]

The qualifiers have four slots: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Master. We can support the Silver slot!

[Indeed! Silver doesn't have high requirements either~ If you're going to go for it, just go for gold! Silver isn't prestigious enough!]

[If that's the case, why not just compete for the top spot? Find an off-peak time slot and try to get one of those ten spots; it wouldn't cost more than a few million, right?]

【.】

I don't know if they were paid trolls hired by the platform.

Lu Yiming has said more than once in his live streams that he will not play.

But at this point, you can see a lot of people in the comments encouraging him to participate.

As more and more people in the live chat began to join the ranks of those trying to persuade him.

Lu Yiming immediately crossed his arms and said, "No! I'm not participating in this year's annual event! Wouldn't it be better to save that money for ribs? I'm just happy if you enjoy watching my live streams and sign up for a fan club membership! I don't need any large donations from you!"

These are Lu Yiming's honest thoughts.

His contract only requires viewers in the live stream to receive money, and the system upgrade requirement is only valid for fans who send paid gifts for the first time.

Therefore, participating in such activities is not very meaningful to him.

You can see that he said that.

There were quite a few people supporting him in the comments, and even his fan club grew by a few hundred because of his comment.

However, his words affected the platform's interests.

Zeng Yuxin warned him that without her, he would have received more than just a warning.

The qualifiers lasted two days.

It will take place this weekend.

Lu Yiming happened to be live streaming on a weekend evening, which coincided with the start time of the qualifiers.

It was Saturday night.

Lu Yiming started his broadcast half an hour earlier that day.

"Hey! Can you hear me? Hello, Teacher Liu! Hello, Brother Qie!"

After starting the broadcast and interacting with viewers.

Lu Yiming logged into YY and entered the room prepared by Eggplant.

Besides PDD and Qiezi, there are dozens of other people in the room. These must be the big brothers that Qiezi invited to help.

The group was discussing the annual competition format.

After hearing Lu Yiming's voice.

PDD, who was arguing with Qiezi, immediately spoke up: "Brother Lu, you've come at the right time! What do you think of this competition format? I think Qiezi can just go for it today! Anyway, his goal is just the Golden Seat!"

The two had already been chatting live for half an hour before Lu Yiming arrived.

The past half hour has been spent debating a question about the competition format.

Eggplant thinks it's best to participate tomorrow.

After all, it's in accordance with the rules.

Each streamer can only get one seat, from top to bottom.

Even if you don't qualify today, you'll have another chance tomorrow.

PDD, on the other hand, believes that if you're going to fight, you should do it today. After all, the event lasts for two days. Apart from those popular streamers who are determined to win, many people will probably think like Qiezi and choose to wait and see on the first day.

There are two hundred positions in total, from the King's Seat to the Bronze Seat. Excluding the ten King's Seats that ranked first on the hourly leaderboard for the past two nights, the top ninety-five seats are settled at 1 a.m. every day.

In PDD's view, the second day would be far more bloody than the first. At this moment...

Lu Yiming learned about the argument between the two from the comments.

After a moment's thought, he said softly, "I think we should play today? Anyway, if we reach the Gold tier, we can at least qualify for Bronze. To be honest, this qualifier is all about who spends the most money. There will be more people joining in on the second day. The difference between the Gold and Bronze rewards isn't that big. We can just put in our best effort in the group stage!"

Eggplant's goal is to finish in the top three of the group stage.

of course.

This does not include the first one.

Under the current rules, the main requirement is to first qualify for the preliminary rounds.

Shark platform has different rules every year, but this year's rules are arguably the most aggressive in terms of monetization compared to previous years.

Every rule is a clear indication that you should spend money.

This has led many streamers to complain privately, and even many streamers who mainly observe the game think this year's format is very interesting.

Lu Yiming was notified yesterday that he would be starting his live stream half an hour earlier than planned.

However, the interaction between YY and Eggplant PDD was not mentioned in the notification, and many people asked in the live chat what was going on.

Lu Yiming immediately laughed and said, "Although I won't play, I'll still support Eggplant if he wants to! We're brothers in the same industry!"

He took the money.

Naturally, we should help the eggplant get votes.

of course.

He didn't put in much effort, just kept asking viewers to give him more free gifts later.

As for paid gifts.

That depends on the individual's willingness.

Just as Lu Yiming and PDD were chatting and waiting for the event to start.

His fan base is also active.

Lu Yiming has two fan groups, which can only be accessed by those who have joined the fan club.

At this moment, a group of people are plotting something big.

[Xiangguo: Hey everyone! I've got these five Super Fires ready, anyone want to help Lu Zong get a Bronze rank? 100,000 gift points, even free gifts can get him 50,000, right?]

[Vague Clouds: It's useless! President Lu never intended to participate; he's already urging us to give our free gift to the eggplant!]

[The flowers in the south of the city haven't bloomed yet: Never mind him! @Xiangguoya I've also prepared 10,000, let's just go for it!]

[Mo Chen is not a star: Can you take me with you?! I'll give you a super rocket to support you. I already got the Miami run the streamer gave me before!]

[Don't understand Zzz: Count me in! Can't afford a super rocket, but a rocket is no problem! I've won two 500s in a row, it's time to donate some blood to President Lu!]

【Sword in hand, singing: ???】

[Zun Shuai: Same here! I could get a rocket! But I only won a phone. As a student, I can only thank President Lu with 100!]

【.】

Aside from asking for membership cards, Lu Yiming never actively asked for any other gifts during his live streams.

Even when receiving expensive gifts, while expressing gratitude, they did not forget to advise the recipients to consume rationally.

That's the result.

Many fans who had received gifts or red envelopes from Lu Yiming were united like never before at this moment.

After someone starts.

Immediately, people in the group started saying they wanted to send gifts of varying value, such as Superfire and Rocket.

Gift value is a term used by the platform for exchanging gifts.

It's essentially a one-to-one exchange with cash. While free gifts can also increase gift value, the ratio is rather low.

At this moment, Lu Yiming was still chatting and laughing with Eggplant PDD in the live broadcast room.

They were completely oblivious to the fact that his fan group was loudly plotting something.
