Chapter 38: Go Talk To My Insurance!
#Unreal23 PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds live stream preheat.
Abu sat in the office looking at the new hot search on Weibo, and shook his head.
How does Li Fan get on hot search so much?
From the end of the match until now, three days have passed on the 23rd, yet he’s been on hot search every day.
He had never seen any professional player get on hot search so much, especially without playing matches.
To be honest, this popularity is really exaggerated.
Huya over there is laughing heartily; it’s said they’re very happy that during this time, downloads on various platforms and online user numbers have all increased.
Especially after Li Fan’s live stream ends, nearly 20,000 people in the live stream room don’t all leave Huya directly; instead, they go browse various channels.
Successfully converted this traffic, and it’s not just standalone traffic; this is of great significance to them too—they no longer have to envy Douyu for having PDD and Wu Wu Kai.
They at Huya now also have a big streamer for League of Legends.
To tell the truth, he really has a legendary flair, just like he’s born to eat this bowl of rice.
If others try to imitate Li Fan’s absurd style, it’d truly be like imitating the gait of the people of Handan.
They simply don’t have Li Fan’s skills; he can play any game well.
Also, the identity of a professional player still carries a lot of weight, even as a substitute.
After all, being able to enter the EDG team as a mid lane substitute without being demoted to youth training is proof enough that he has real talent.
So even though many people want to learn this model, they simply can’t; they can’t produce this effect with even a little challenge.
Moreover, Li Fan is a workaholic; his live stream duration is stably eleven hours a day.
Abu had to admire it; if this duration were used for training…
He shook his head; Li Fan is now essentially the mascot in the club, and he can’t manage him anymore—as long as it doesn’t affect the other team members.
Of course, Li Fan grinds so hard purely for learning points and the occasional freedom attribute points; not streaming much really won’t do.
“23rd… isn’t today the 23rd? What PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds? He’s been talking about it since half a month ago.” Abu curiously opened Li Fan’s live stream.
Ever since Li Fan signed Huya’s biggest contract, he would occasionally sneak peeks into the live stream room.
“Alright! Finally installed it, but no national server yet, so gotta use an accelerator.”
【What garbage game? Can it be as fun as League of Legends?】
【Streamer, it’s been over half a month and still not playing LoL?】
【League dogs shut up; you’ve been in the live stream room for so long, don’t you know Unreal doesn’t play League?】
Li Fan saw this bullet comment and his mouth twitched involuntarily.
He himself is a League of Legends professional player, and you call him a League dog… it’s really hard to tell if you’re protecting me or insulting me.
Logged into the game, first create a nickname account.
Thought for a moment and still used Unreal.
His parallel world self only left this one ID, so let this ID shine in all games.
Then his selected character avatar appeared—a girl with a single ponytail—and directly started the game.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has no keybinding tutorial.
He remembered the first time playing, figuring out picking up items, backpacks, and using the minimap all relied on Baidu.
No way around it; this game batch is like that—if you want to play, you’ll look it up yourself.
Then quickly clicked start game.
Waited about twenty seconds and successfully matched.
After all, just starting out, it takes time to gather a hundred people for a match.
Later when it gets popular, it’ll basically be instant queue every match.
Brief game loading time ended; ahead were airplane wreckage and countless men and women in underwear walking around.
“Anyone there? Anyone? Any Chinese?”
“Japanese Japanese!”
“How do you play this game? No tutorial and straight into it?”
“Eat my shot!”
“Japanese! Where’s the Japanese? I wanna kill him!”
“Tourniquet, tourniquet!”
Li Fan’s head hurt from the voices; normally in the quality square, he’d turn off all-voice, but once in-game, he’d specially turn it on.
This way, sometimes he could hear others talking; sometimes he didn’t even know he had it on, and listening to them chat was very entertaining.
Plus, he could know if people were nearby, very useful.
“Anyone dare jump airport? All jump airport for me!”
“You motherfucker, whoever doesn’t jump is a pussy.”
In just this moment, they started cursing.
【??? Is this game this violent?】
【What a quality square.】
【Can it be fun? Looks kinda boring…】
【Indeed, not even as good as racing QQ Speed; QQ Speed has passionate showdowns.】
Waiting time ended; everyone boarded the plane.
“All rise, paratrooper number one Li Fan ready!”
When the plane flew a distance, Li Fan jumped straight toward the anti-air position.
【Why are you yelling so loud!】
【Headphones users got startled!】
“The most important thing in this game is looting supplies; landing without a gun puts you at a disadvantage against others—you who want to play, watch and learn carefully.”
【Talking so cocky, aren’t you also playing for the first time?】
【You’re good at Crossfire, good at QQ Speed, but suck at League of Legends—don’t tell me you think you’ll be good at this new game too?】
“No, although I’m a substitute, why do you think I’m bad at League of Legends?”
“And PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is essentially a shooting game; that’s why I’ve practiced CF for so long—I feel my state is maxed out.”
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has first-person and third-person modes.
Because the map is large, third-person is more comfortable.
PUBG initially allowed third-person for pros, but later only first-person perspective.
Then bullet comments were a bunch of disbelief.
“Anti-air here has good stuff…”
Li Fan noticed someone else jumped to anti-air too, so he decisively jumped to cave number three.
Anti-air has four caves total; jumping to number three when occupied is best—attack or retreat viable.
Because from number three going right leads to number four; the two entrances are very close—lose and run, win and go from three to two.
Under everyone’s stunned gazes, Li Fan with an M16 killed everyone in the anti-air cave.
【This badass?】
“If you won’t let me develop, I’ll kill them all.”
Saying this while starting to loot supplies.
When leaving anti-air, he already had level 3 armor and level 2 helmet.
Just then the poison circle spawned; Li Fan found a vehicle and started heading into the circle.
Then saw someone on the road also rushing into circle, floored it and rammed straight into them.
“Hahaha, go talk to my insurance!”
Unreal used vehicle to kill Xiao Yu Er!
