Chapter 31: Ouch! What Are You Doing?!
Inside the Shu Tu Zhi Bin project team office.
Planner Wang Qiangping looked at the freshly generated data report from the backend, his mouth corners uncontrollably turning up.
The new downloads and daily active users over the past two days had indeed seen a clear increase, up nearly ten percent compared to usual.
For an SLG game that’s been in operations for years, this was nothing short of a miracle… The total player base is just so much, and there hasn’t been any major growth in the past two or three years.
Although revenue has been rising year after year, it still falls short of their expected goals.
Until Li Fan… burst into their sight.
Frequent hot searches, clearly the hot search type.
“Nice! This wave of water army and rhythm was handled well, we earned quite a bit.” Wang Qiangping excitedly slapped the table.
He contentedly printed out the data report, preparing to seek credit with the director later.
This move had some risk and could easily offend the person involved, but if no one says anything, how would he know? From the results, it was undoubtedly a success.
The director was also very satisfied seeing this data table, praised Wang Qiangping, and promised that if he keeps up the good work, there would definitely be a bonus this month.
Filled with satisfaction, Wang Qiangping sat back at his workstation and habitually opened Huya Live, finding Li Fan’s live stream room.
However, the loaded screen made his whole body freeze.
Li Fan’s voice came from the computer.
“Whether accurate or not, this shot he can’t outgame me in game theory at all! Directly demolish this C4, take it take it.”
Wang Qiangping watched Li Fan controlling the character to start demolishing the package on the computer screen, feeling somewhat anxious.
“Not live streaming Shu Tu Zhi Bin again… Hasn’t live streamed Shu Tu Zhi Bin for several days in a row.”
These past two days of live streaming have all been Crossfire, only playing Speed for an hour right before ending the stream.
Shu Tu Zhi Bin’s traffic over these two days has already been mostly used up.
“What’s going on? He’s not playing Shu Tu anymore? Or…” His heart sank, a bad premonition rising.
He quickly scanned Weibo, Tieba, and other communities again.
Sure enough, some of Li Fan’s fans and Shu Tu players had already noticed this change and were discussing animatedly:
【Huh? Why has Crossfire been taking over the main live stream room lately? Before, the first thing he did when live streaming was to hang Shu Tu Zhi Bin. Unreal wouldn’t really be pressured and not daring to live stream, right?】
【It’s really possible, the heat was too much the past couple days.】
【Probably, look at his live stream room bullet comments, there are still people bringing the rhythm.】
【Overthinking it, if Unreal was afraid of rhythm, he wouldn’t live stream Crossfire, he’d train League of Legends every day. Very obvious he just simply doesn’t want to live stream Shu Tu Zhi Bin.】
【The planners must be dumbfounded? Bought water army for advertising, directly scared the person away, now not live streaming anymore.】
Seeing that last comment, Wang Qiangping’s face turned somewhat ugly.
His original smugness and joy were instantly doused with a basin of cold water, replaced by a wave of headache and anxiety.
There are still many smart people; after all, anyone with eyes can see Shu Tu Zhi Bin doesn’t have much to do with this. If it’s going to hot search, honestly it should be Speed…
After all, Li Fan participated in the Speed professional competition and successfully took first place in the points race.
But Shu Tu Zhi Bin is just casually played, plus it’s niche, so appearing on hot search is actually a bit abrupt, not normal.
No wonder Li Fan isn’t live streaming Shu Tu Zhi Bin now; he clearly felt calculated, and this is trouble…
Wang Qiangping, who had just sat down at his seat, could no longer sit still and hurriedly got up from his position.
From the hot search to the downloads over these past few days, it’s clear Li Fan really has traffic, not the fake kind.
“Little Gun King takes it!”
“Told you all it’s super simple. This one has to wait for server merge, that’ll be even more fun.” Li Fan smiled and said to the audience in the live stream room.
【????】
【Holy crap, streamer for real? Is ranking up this simple? I play half a day circling around and lose it all again.】
【Mainly because no cheaters encountered; it’s easy to run into cheaters once you reach this rank. Ranking up in upcoming matches won’t be that simple.】
“Anyone want to interact with the streamer? No more ranked matches, let’s do fun biochemical mode, Biochemical Hotel or Biochemical Pyramid both fine.”
【I’ll join one. Though I can’t rank up, I’m a biochemical master!】
【Quick quick quick, I can’t wait to abuse the streamer a bit.】
【Logging in now, don’t start too early.】
Li Fan looked at the bullet comments in the live stream room and smiled as he directly entered a Biochemical Hotel room.
Actually, when he first played Crossfire he also liked demolition, but he sucked at demolition with zero game experience, so he started playing biochemical mode.
Just follow the main group, drill into crowded places and shoot to mix in; you can also catch people. As ghost, as long as not knifed, the game experience is pretty good.
But he’s not stupid; if it’s a room he created, wouldn’t the other fifteen targeting him nonstop?
Where’s the game experience in that?
Better to randomly join a biochemical room; the remaining slots definitely won’t be that many.
“Gogogo, come a dog!”
Even so, the five or six slots filled up the room.
Just entered and it was already the final stage; Ghost Hunter facing five or six people chopping away, but outnumbered and taken down.
This is very normal too; though Ghost Hunter has more health and duel advantage, facing a crowd one knife each still can’t hold out.
Pretty good, no need to wait, directly started a match.
Li Fan controlled the character right after spawning to run to the roof.
This position actually isn’t great because ghosts can easily run up from the tree trunk; needs lots of people and heavy firepower to defend.
Everyone usually chooses the slide; even if breached, can jump down from the slide to escape.
Unexpectedly, there was actually another person who followed him to this roof.
“Unreal, Unreal I’m your fan, wanna swap guns? Mine’s Golden Thompson.”
“Sure, never used such a good gun before.”
With that, he tossed a gun right at his feet.
Li Fan casually tossed his own gun off the eaves… M4A1 sliding down with the eaves.
At the same time, the system’s countdown had reached four.
“Ouch! What are you doing!”
Though saying that, he still jumped down to pick up the gun.
In biochemical mode, without a gun, there’s truly zero sense of security.
You know, Golden Thompson in biochemical mode has a full 595 bullets, full sense of security.
【????】
【Bastard!】
“I really didn’t mean to…” Li Fan looked at the person who jumped down to pick up the gun and said extremely sincerely.
And as the system countdown ended, the ghost appearance sound effect played.
The person who just jumped down directly turned into Biochemical Ghost…
Then looked up at Li Fan, the two staring wide-eyed at each other.
Thanks to Happy Is Blessing for the 500 starting coins reward, thank you boss.
