Restart the Gaming Era

Tang Ying's residence.

Zhong Ming opened the door and came to the living room and found Tang Ying lying dead on the sofa.

I checked the time and it was now five o'clock in the afternoon.

"...What's going on with you?" Zhong Ming was a little confused.

Tang Ying yawned: "Teacher Zhong, I'm fishing, don't you see?"

Zhong Ming was very happy: "What kind of fish are you fishing for? In recent days, Weiguang's live broadcast has finally attracted so much traffic. You are the pillar. If you don't seize the time to live broadcast now, what are you waiting for? I heard Chen Nan say "Sekiro" was released yesterday, and you stopped buying it yesterday, so why do you want to stop playing it today?"

Tang Ying suddenly sat up from the sofa: "Mr. Zhong, don't you have any idea why I don't play it? I secretly played "Sekiro" myself, and I died like a dog! Wei Mingqibenqian directly advised me If you quit, how can you broadcast it?"

Zhong Ming said: "It's okay, even if you die forever, the audience will still love to watch."

"I don't!" Tang Ying refused, "I'm determined not to suffer anymore! I'll avoid the limelight and broadcast it tomorrow as if I don't know anything about the game "Sekiro"."

"Your work attitude is very problematic." Zhong Ming pretended to be serious, "After all, you are now a pillar of Weiguang Live Broadcast, so you have a sense of responsibility."

Tang Ying looked at Zhong Ming, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Then this time, just like the previous "Xuanjia Project", make a special stand-alone version for me to practice, and then go to the broadcast after I have practiced it."

"What else are you practicing for?" Zhong Ming smiled, "Aren't you just worried that you won't have the show effect? ​​That's easy to say. I'll tell you how to create the show effect. You see what I do."

Zhong Ming said, picking up the elite handle next to him.

"Teacher Zhong, please put down the controller and speak properly. I don't have the skills like you. I can't learn it even if you demonstrate it to me..." Tang Ying was speechless.

Zhong Ming smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll show you a simple one this time. I guarantee you'll be able to do it if you have the skills."

"Real or false?" Tang Ying was doubtful.

Zhong Ming laughed, entered the game, and began to explain to Tang Ying.

"Do you know there is a saying: skipping class is fun for a while, but skipping class will always be fun?"

…

Three days after the release of "Sekiro", both real hardcore players and players who have completed the game on the Weiguang live broadcast platform have a relatively comprehensive understanding of the game.

So far, only a handful of capable and skilled bosses have cleared the first game and continue to suffer in the second game, while most people are still stuck at different nodes.

The clearance time of "Sekiro" is about thirty hours for ordinary people to clear one game. If you are a master with extraordinary talents, parkour maps, and bosses quickly, it may take ten hours to clear the game. Or so, if you are a disabled person, the clearance time may also be infinite.

But no matter how the game progresses, the mechanics of the game itself, whether real players or cloud players, basically already understand it.

A large number of "Sekiro" instructional videos, harmless videos, etc. have also begun to appear on the Internet. Everyone's enthusiasm for the game "Sekiro" is on the rise.

At the same time, "Sekiro" began to absorb a large amount of traffic for the Weiguang live broadcast platform.

A lot of traffic here comes from other big platforms. The process is actually very simple: anchors on other live broadcast platforms live broadcast "Sekiro" for the program effect. The audience finds it interesting when they see it, but the anchor keeps dying, so these viewers will go After searching for some live broadcasts of great masters playing "Sekiro", I found Shimmer Live here.

Needless to say, those players who have been using the Weiguang gaming platform have gradually become accustomed to opening the Weiguang live broadcast platform after playing games to see how the anchors are playing "Sekiro" and racing competitions. What is the battle situation like, and those players who did not use the Weiguang gaming platform have also begun to know about the special live broadcast platform of Weiguang Live, and have subtly become the potential audience of this platform.

Several big anchors who are very good at playing "Sekiro", such as Liuyi, have all signed contracts with Shiguang Live. These originally unknown master players became instantly famous with "Sekiro". If nothing else, This month's salary and gift money will be more than they imagined.

Even if other live streaming platforms wanted to dig in, it would be too late.

On the one hand, it is because Chen Nan can monitor the data of his own live broadcast in real time, and if he finds a good idea, he will sign it as soon as possible, which is much faster than the response of other live broadcast platforms; on the other hand, even if other platforms want to dig, they will I don't think it's worth it.

After all, the game "Sekiro" is only temporarily popular. After the popularity of this game passes, can these anchors maintain this popularity? If not, then wouldn’t it be more of a loss after spending a lot of money to dig it out?

What's more, these anchors are very comfortable in Weiguang Live, and they really don't want to leave if the money is less.

Therefore, in this battle of "grabbing popularity", Weiguang Live has completely taken the initiative by relying on the "Sekiro" racing competition and a group of high-end player anchors who have emerged from the player base.

However, new and old viewers of Weiguang Live have discovered one thing, that is...

Tang Ying seems to have been pigeon racing for three days!

From the day "Sekiro" was released, Tang Ying directly posted on Weibo saying that she felt unwell and evaporated on the spot, so she took two days off. However, she still didn't show up on the third day, which made her feel crazy.

At first, many viewers thought she was really feeling unwell, and they all sent blessings and hoped that she would take care of her health. However, they only realized on the third day that something was not right!

Many players are still waiting for her to come back to live broadcast "Sekiro". They can't wait for her to come back, and then they realize that Tang Ying seems to be doing it on purpose. She just doesn't want to play "Sekiro"!

On the afternoon of the fourth day, during Tang Ying's usual live broadcast time, the screen in the live broadcast room was still black.

But the barrage in the live broadcast room is no less than those in the live broadcast room.

"Lao Tang is going too far! I must play "Sekiro" to apologize!"

"She also said she was not feeling well. They were all lies! She definitely didn't want to play "Sekiro" and was just trying to get away with it!"

"It's impossible to get away with it. We must not let her go! Unsubscribe if you don't get through "Sekiro"!"

"Yes, if you can, you won't start broadcasting for a month!"

"Don't try to get away with it if it doesn't air for a month. As soon as it starts airing, let's all watch "Sekiro" together!"

The audience expressed that they were deceived and were very angry.

All the other anchors have been suffering for several days, but you are so stupid that you want to get away with it? That's impossible, absolutely impossible!

The audience has already thought about it. No matter what, Tang Ying must play "Sekiro" and increase the intensity of the arrangement!

Some people left messages in the live broadcast room, some went to Weibo to send private messages, and some people shouted in the fan group. In short, fans tried every means to get Tang Ying to live broadcast "Sekiro".

In fact, this group of people are not so cruel to other anchors, and they often just try to trick them. After seeing the anchors suffering, they just can’t beat them anymore, so they give up.

Take Lao Jin for example, he is really not good at this kind of game. After playing for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore and stopped playing. The audience only made fun of him and didn't ask him to clear it.

But Tang Ying's nature is different. Lao Jin studied hard, but did not do well in the exam, and everyone knew that he tried his best; while Tang Ying directly planned to skip class and also deceived the teacher!

This is too much!

Therefore, the audience was all holding back their energy and wanted to see Tang Ying suffer.

…

Just when the audience thought that Tang Ying wanted pigeons again today, there was a signal in the live broadcast room!

Tang Ying appeared in the live broadcast room as if nothing happened: "Hey, why are there so many people here?"

The barrage exploded instantly, and countless viewers who had just received their plane tickets immediately began to interact enthusiastically.

"King Pigeon, you still have the nerve to come!"

"You are in better spirits than me! You look like you are sick!"

"Now that I have grown up, I dare to deceive the audience!"

"I won't say anything else. "Sekiro" must be arranged. If you don't want to play Sekiro, just unsubscribe today!"

"Yes, hurry up, Sekiro! Don't even think about getting away with it!"

The audience quickly reached a consensus and wanted Tang Ying to play "Sekiro" right away. Everyone couldn't wait to see her suffer.

Tang Ying acted as if she hadn't seen the barrage, thanking him for the gift while talking about him.

"Thank you all for the gifts, thank you!"

"I saw someone in the comments commenting on my good looks. You have such nice eyes!"

"Do you all want to see me play "Xuanjia Project"? Okay, let's play "Xuanjia Project" for a while and show you Chanel..."

A bunch of question marks instantly floated across the barrage.

"What do you mean? Pretending not to see?"

"Damn it, this is so vile! It cannot be tolerated, it must not be tolerated!"

"Comrades, "Sekiro" has started to play, you must go to Ashina Castle today!"

"A wolf, a wolf, a wolf..."

Large barrages flashed across the screen, all of them "Sekiro", which showed how loud the audience's voice was.

Tang Ying couldn't pretend anymore and sighed softly: "Hey, what about you? Do you really want me to die? This game is very scary! I will really die like a dog!"

The barrage audience is all happy, we just want to see you die like a dog!

"Hurry, make arrangements!"

"If you don't want to play "Sekiro" today, you will unsubscribe!"

The audience was still reluctant to give up.

Tang Ying sighed: "Hey, okay, let me play it. Let me ask first, is this game difficult?"

The words "difficult" and "not difficult" immediately floated across the barrage.

Obviously some of them are honest boys who tell the truth, while others are dedicated to lying.

Tang Ying clicked on "Sekiro" and started a new game.

The audience is looking forward to Tang Ying's performance, wanting to see how many "death" words they can get together this time.

"Do you really think this game is difficult? Really, I was sick these days and watched other people's live broadcasts, and I feel that this game is not difficult." Tang Ying said while watching the opening CG.

A bunch of "hehe"s flashed across the barrage.

"I really don't think it's very difficult. I've actually studied this game a little bit these days. I think this game is not as difficult as you said."

"You don't believe it? Okay, I'll start a quiz."

"Let me see how many bosses there are in this game."

"OK, there is a quiz for each boss. Just guess how many times I can win. Start betting now. I will close the game when I start the fight."

While the CG scenes were still playing in the game, Tang Ying directly held a quiz in the live broadcast room. There were quiz entries for various elite monsters and bosses. The entries were similar. There were three options, namely within 3 times, 3~ 10 times and 10 times more.

The Weiguang live broadcast platform also has a betting function, which is also one of the functions to be developed later. The rules of the guessing function are actually very simple. The anchor sets the guessing topic, the audience puts in tokens to guess, and the system will automatically calculate the odds based on the number of people betting on each option.

When the audience saw Tang Ying so swollen, they all said "haha".

"Have done some research? After being a cloud audience for a few days, I don't know what my last name is!"

"I guess I think it's easy to watch others play, so I think it's okay for me?"

"No need to worry about the third option and you're done! You'll definitely die more than ten times!"

"Wait a minute, I feel like there's some fraud involved. Could it be that Lao Tang practiced it secretly himself?"

"Practice?... Well, it's possible. But you can't practice the game "Sekiro" in a day or two. Considering the difficulty of this game, I think even if you practice, you won't be able to defeat some bosses. "

"Yes, the first few elites should be easy to say, but the likes of Ashina Genichiro and Huo Ni are likely to fall over even if they have practiced."

The audience in the live broadcast room was talking a lot.

Many viewers feel that Tang Ying has a kind of self-confidence, and they will naturally suspect that there is fraud, but instinctively do not believe it.

If Tang Ying really has this kind of ability and can master the skills within three days of the game's release, then why wait three days? Isn’t it the same as just starting a live broadcast to practice skills?

What's more, many viewers in the live broadcast room are old fans of Tang Ying. Everyone knows that Tang Ying's talent for playing this kind of game is really average. In such a short period of time, even if he has done special research, he still has to suffer. Suffering.

Players bought and left one after another and voted individually.

The front options are okay. Some of the weaker elite monsters voted for the first option [pass within 3 times], but the problems at the back become more embarrassing. For staged bosses like Ashina Genichiro, Although it looked like a weak chicken for nothing in the later stage, it was difficult to see it at first, so most of the audience voted [more than 10 times].

Tang Ying reminded: "Let me remind you first. If you don't mindlessly press the first one, you will be done. Absolutely all bosses must be passed once. You people who say that the anchor can only be passed ten times and don't believe the anchor will be killed when the time comes. Don’t rely on me if you lose money, I’ve warned you!”

"You made everyone laugh, just once? Why don't you go to heaven?"

"You want to defraud me of my betting coins again! You can't be fooled!"

“Be stress-free and get rich!”

The barrage audience was not moved at all.

Tang Ying sighed: "Hey, then I can't save you either."
