Chapter 946 -877 Live Streaming PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (Part 2)
Xun was a veteran player in shooter games, his skills were incredibly refined. Even for his first time playing “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds,” his abilities were not something that the average person could match. Moreover, since most of the other players were also new to this game, it was unlikely their basics could be better than Xun’s—thus, he quickly achieved his first kill.
Different from the feel of “Counter-Strike.”
The former emphasized playability and required absolute concentration and exceptionally complex techniques, while this new game gave Xun the feeling that:
Easy!
Way too easy!
This left Xun somewhat unaccustomed; he was used to high-difficulty gameplay, and the entry barrier of this new game was significantly lower than “Counter-Strike.”
Not really my style.
As expected, I prefer the games that require higher skill level—this one is frankly a bit uninteresting for a pro like me.
Xun felt somewhat downcast.
Although that’s what he thought, the game still had to continue.
Suddenly.
He noticed that the person he had just killed turned into a box.
Upon closer inspection.
Wow, their gear exploded everywhere!
The luck of his opponent was really something—such good stuff in that box, dying to him was a huge loss…
Swoosh swoosh swoosh.
Xun deftly looted the crate and massively upgraded his gear, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
And as the game progressed,
the discomfort from the game’s oversimplified controls began to fade away!
By the time he killed his third opponent and claimed the equipment they dropped, the universal will of “truly fragrant” descended—
Holy crap!
This is so damn satisfying!
To hell with technicality!
Why bother making it so complicated?
I play games for the thrill, for relaxation!
A shooter game has to be simple to get that exhilarating feeling of a good kill!
Such smooth sensation, rat-tat-tat-tat, can’t stop at all, right?!
So light and pleasurable!
This was something “Counter-Strike” couldn’t give Xun, as players sticking to that game were mostly pros by then, not letting Xun kill to his heart’s content, and he would even often get killed by random players.
But at this moment.
He had completely adapted to the shooting feel of “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds,” and felt an increasingly addictive trend, as if shooter games were indeed meant to be this effortlessly exhilarating!
[You have become the new kill leader!]
As Xun killed his fifth person, a notification from the System popped up.
Even though this wasn’t a difficult feat for Xun, he felt an overwhelming sense of achievement, especially at the moment of looting—he hadn’t had this much fun in ages!
In fact, the feeling was somewhat like an expert going to a fish pond to blast fish.
Many people get thoroughly hooked on that sense of wanton achievement after one go, and over time, they might not even bother with high-level matches.
At this time, Xun’s favorite aspect of the game was:
This game had loot mechanics, just like those role-playing games where you defeat monsters to level up!
Kill other players, and they turn into boxes, allowing you to enjoy their gear to your heart’s content!
It’s too satisfying!
Fancy someone’s gear?
If you’ve got the skills, kill them and take it!
This made Xun look at other players with an increasingly fiery gaze, as if they were mobile “human-shaped equipment repositories.”
This setup may seem far-fetched, but it’s quite realistic.
In real life, if there were shootouts, killing someone and taking their weapon would be a matter of course, right?
During this process,
Xun also encountered a ridiculously funny incident.
One player actually lay down next to a crate pretending to be dead. A passerby didn’t realize it and got taken out!
After looting, the other player wanted to continue pretending.
Having witnessed it all, Xun promptly killed him, almost dying from laughter himself.
“No way, this can actually work!?”
This game seemed to allow for the development of various playstyles easily!
For example, when Xun thought he had found a safe zone, he stumbled upon an old cunning foe. If not for Xun’s skillful play and strong gear, he would’ve indeed been taken out by the opponent.
“That was a close call.”
Xun became more and more elated, “This game is so magical, no matter how good your skills are, you can still get taken down by a sneaky bastard hiding in the shadows. It looks like I need to be extra careful, and I feel like there’s a lot of diversity in the gameplay that’s worth exploring.”
Before he knew it.
He had been playing for over ten minutes.
The poison zone kept refreshing, and he began to run from the poison.
“This setting is wicked cool, with the poison zone shrinking at intervals, forcing players into an increasingly concentrated area on the map, forcing players to engage in the final showdown. Guys, I feel like I’m about to win chicken dinner…”
Xun explained as he played, thoroughly enjoying himself.
During the process, he didn’t even check his live chat, completely engrossed in the game.
What Xun did not know was.
The number of messages in his live-streaming room was increasing.
“Pfft!”
“What game is this? It looks interesting!”
“FPS where you kill for loot? The designer’s got something there!”
“Hahahahaha, that scared the hell out of me! They even play dead to deceive others?!”
“Did you guys see that? Just now, some idiot flew up to the sky on a motorcycle. That should have been a highlight screenshot!”
“Damn, how long has that sly bastard been lying in wait, so dogged…”
“Xun, drive quick, I just saw someone driving, but their skills were poor. Show him what a real pro looks like!”
“This game the host is playing is so much fun, what’s it called?”
“Win chicken dinner, win chicken dinner!”
“Besides the poison zone, there’s even heaven’s bombs, lots of people got blown to bits!”
“This game is nothing like the other shooting games on the market, how the hell is it so funny? Just saw two guys play themselves to death, are they developing bizarre ways to die in this game?”
“…”
The game finally entered the final circle.
Armed to the teeth, Xun was unstoppable, utterly bloodshot with zeal!
Bang!
With the last gunshot, Xun finally took down his last opponent, his kill record spectacularly messy.
At the same time.
Several lines appeared on the screen:
“Great fortune, chicken dinner tonight!!”
The words “chicken dinner” seemed to possess a magical power, flooding Xun with a tremendous sense of achievement!
“Chicken dinner!”
Xun excitedly closed the game, “Guys! This game is super fun, I highly recommend it. Also, I just noticed there’s a team mode that you can choose. Who among you viewers wants to join me…”
Huh?
Before he could finish his sentence.
Xun’s voice abruptly stopped.
On his screen, the live chat was packed, the messages from countless viewers endless!
This…
His neck stiffly shifted his gaze.
Xun looked at the number of followers on his live stream.
A conspicuously long number glaringly appeared before Xun’s eyes, reddening them with shock:
1,050,976 people watching!
Whisk whisk whisk, and the number was still climbing!
My God!
Xun’s eyes bulged out, bloodshot and clear as if he could not believe the number he was seeing was real!
Half an hour after the broadcast began!
The popularity broke one million!
This was a milestone he couldn’t achieve even at the peak of his career!
“The host has great facial expressions!”
“Preparing emojis!”
“Host, play another round!”
The chat became even more feverish, the viewers’ excitement swelling wave upon wave. In just half an hour, countless people were attracted by the game Xun was playing!
