CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 9 Don't Ask! Asking won't hurt!

There were very few CS:GO players during this period.

There are two main limitations.

One problem is that registering a Steam account is quite troublesome, and the other is that the base game costs $20, which basically excludes the vast majority of FPS players in China.

It can be said that during this period, the domestic CSGO players were mainly college students.

There are almost two thousand people in the live stream.

After obtaining the account owner's information from the private message, Lu Yiming logged into the game and opened the inventory.

The gloves and knives in the first two rows drew gasps of surprise from the online comments.

However, some knowledgeable people say that these are cheap goods and not worth much.

[The Immortal's Smile: Life and Death Are Unpredictable [Earl]: I only use this account to open boxes. I've opened at least 10,000 boxes so far, right? It's a pity I haven't gotten a single big item yet~]

According to the exchange rate.

The current price for a key should be around fourteen yuan.

Ten thousand boxes would amount to over one hundred thousand.

Viewers in the live chat exclaimed that he was incredibly extravagant.

Lu Yiming also gasped.

My gaze swept over his inventory.

Four pairs of gloves and nine knives.

Judging from the knife skin and the concealed gun skin below, it can be seen that he opened the Gamma 2 weapon case.

Scroll down slightly.

As expected, they were all Gamma II.

Lu Yiming immediately said softly, "Boss, you want the gem-encrusted knife! But with the number of boxes you've opened, you could probably buy several of them, right?"

Jewel knives are not currently very expensive.

The most expensive emerald claw knife is only around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Currently, Gemstone Knife, Hardened Knife, and Crimson Web are the only knife skins that have the potential to fetch a price exceeding 10,000.

[The Immortal's Smile: Life and Death Are Unpredictable [Earl]: I bought it a long time ago, but I still want to see it drop on my own account, just to fulfill a dream!]

Hear this.

Lu Yiming shrugged and said, "Sure enough! The troubles of the rich are always different from those of ordinary people. Just to fulfill a dream, you're spending over 100,000 yuan extra to open a box. Boss, you're really rich!"

This sentence is all about being witty.

The account owner felt comfortable hearing this, while the viewers found it amusing.

In 2018, in order to do a good job of live streaming, in addition to having entertaining content, the host's humorous speaking style was also a big plus.

This period was still the pioneering stage of live streaming.

How to attract users is something that all live streamers are still exploring.

But for Lu Yiming, there are too many success stories to learn from, and at the same time, there are many pitfalls to avoid.

The owner had prepared the box and key long ago.

Lu Yiming didn't waste any time either.

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the first box.

At that time, there were no live-streamed unboxing videos as the content of live streams.

However, while people like Qiezi occasionally do unboxing videos in their live streams, no one realizes that unboxing is also a regular part of their live stream content.

The first box yielded purple seeds.

SCAR-20 | Heart of Power
This is a semi-automatic sniper rifle.

As soon as viewers saw the gun skin, they flooded the chat with comments saying it was a huge loss.

The semi-automatic sniper rifle is not cost-effective in competitive mode, and it is too overpowered in casual mode, which makes both low-rank and high-rank players very annoyed.

Therefore, it is generally assumed that neither side uses a semi-automatic sniper rifle in casual mode, and semi-automatic sniper rifles are rarely seen in competitive mode either.

Just like in CF, using the AN94 will cause a group of people to kick you.

This means that no matter how good-looking the gun skins are, their prices can't go up.

However, the barrage of comments is a huge loss.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Sure! One shot, one kill, no loss!"

Damn, one shot, one kill, no loss at all!
Whether considering the price or its use in the game, this gun is definitely not a bargain.

However, they soon discovered it.

Lu Yiming can find a reason why every weapon skin he releases is worthwhile. For example, getting the Desert Eagle is a 700-point sniper rifle, so it's not a bad deal; the MAG-7 and the shotgun skin offer triple the benefit, so it's not a bad deal either.
In short, he never loses out!
The unpacking process was very quick.

The audience had already been brainwashed by his claim that it was "not a loss".

During this time, Lu Yiming didn't forget to advertise for the castle he was opening tomorrow.

The number of followers has directly broken through the 500 mark and is rapidly advancing towards 1,000.

Nobody knows exactly how many were opened.

Counting groups and price groups are not yet popular.

The first red (indicating a high level of popularity) appeared in the live stream.

Lu Yiming stopped the car in time.

Looking at the AK displayed on the shelf on the screen, he laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good! The first red is finally out! How many cases are there? Twenty?"

AK-47 Neon Revolution Dark Gold.

After Lu Yiming finished speaking, he went into the inventory to check the specific wear and tear.

When the words "brand new" appeared, the screen was filled with "666" in the comments.

This is considered the most valuable gun skin in the Gamma II crate.

Meanwhile, among the nearly two thousand viewers, there were quite a few quick hands, and the bidding group appeared, offering prices starting at six hundred.

The cost of twenty boxes is just over three hundred.

This was definitely a great deal!

At present, not many players can actually use the skins. For expensive skins, they can only satisfy their cravings by watching the market. Lu Yiming's unboxing gives them a sense of satisfaction from watching unboxing videos online.

This is precisely why unboxing livestreamers have become so popular. Whether watching unboxing results in a loss or a profit, viewers can find something to enjoy, which can be considered a form of stress relief.

After a brief review with fellow viewers.

Lu Yiming continued unpacking.

The subsequent unboxing process was still mainly fun, with varying speeds and rhythms, neither dragging on nor leaving viewers without a chance to appreciate the product.

Lu Yiming's live streaming style has gradually been accepted by his viewers.

The fact that his follower count quietly surpassed one thousand at this time is proof of that.

soon.

A loud clanging sound followed.

Lu Yiming exclaimed, "Holy crap! I got gold!!"

The exclamation startled many people.

But then their attention was drawn to the knife that appeared.

A guillotine with a golden blade and a green hilt appeared before everyone's eyes.

The comments section started scrolling rapidly.

[Hahaha! What a butcher's knife! It looks brand new. If it were dragon claws or dragon spikes, it would be flying high!]

Good news: The money was withdrawn! Bad news: It was a killer!

If I had this kind of surgery, I probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!

[Hey streamer, say something! Why don't you continue? You're not losing out!]

To be fair, it's already pretty good! One gold and one red box out of less than a hundred cases—the streamer's luck is quite good!

[Yes! If it were brand new, this knife would cost 1500. With the previous red energy, it would be over 2000, already breaking even or even making a small profit!]

[Host: Don't ask! Just know it's a win-win situation!]

Intestine-piercing knife | Legend
The former is the cheapest in the knife series, while the latter is the more expensive in the knife skin series.

However, as the comments on the screen said.

Overall, it's not a loss, and may even result in a small profit.

The cost of 100 boxes is only 1,600 yuan, but this knife alone has already recouped the cost of 1,500 yuan.

Seeing the comments, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Actually, it's not a loss at all! But since you all say this knife isn't good, then I'll go all out! The current live stream viewership is 40,000! Use your free glow sticks to help me raise the live stream viewership to 60,000! That way, it'll be as if this knife never came out!"

Live streamers can lose money.

This is absolutely something they would love to see.

Upon hearing Lu Yiming's words...

Everyone generously donated money, fearing he might change his mind.

A single glow stick can boost the popularity by ten points in a short time. There are currently over two thousand people in the live stream room. It can be said that Lu Yiming's live stream room popularity has exceeded one hundred thousand in an instant!
