Being a seasoned veteran streamer, Da Xian Li was naturally very sensitive to gifts.
He immediately realized this was a platform-wide broadcast.
Someone was showering the streamer named Xu Tian Tian with gifts.
Li Da Xian wasn't surprised by this.
After all, it was common to encounter people showering his own livestream with Super Fires.
Other streamers even had people shower them with Super Fires to draw in traffic from across the platform.
At first, Li Da Xian thought this was just another small streamer who had found a sponsor and was boosting their traffic.
Or maybe some guild was supporting a new streamer.
But after a few seconds, Li Da Xian felt something was off.
He recognized one or two of the IDs showering Super Fires.
They were true big shots, incredibly wealthy in real life, the kind of people who could truly shower streamers with Super Fires.
Even for someone like Li Da Xian, a top streamer with thousands of followers, he still remembered these big shots.
He had to be polite and respectful when encountering them.
Especially one ID in particular, "Nuliu Zhibèi".
This person was also a game streamer.
Rumors had it that she had lost her passion for gaming and was about to retire from the streaming world.
She had millions of followers, and to just quit like that wasn't a joke.
She hadn't streamed in months.
Plus, "Nuliu Zhibèi" was from a wealthy family, not the kind who needed the money.
This wasn't someone you could just casually ask to shower a streamer with Super Fires.
Just who was this Xu Tian Tian?
Li Da Xian was distracted, his curiosity eating away at him.
He decided to get off his car and check out the room.
After searching for Xu Tian Tian's livestream.
He found that the room was empty.
Just a black screen.
With the words "Game Over, Try Again" displayed on it.
Li Da Xian's eyes widened.
"What in the world is going on?"
Was this Xu Tian Tian a game streamer?
Playing a game?
What kind of game was this?
Why had he never heard of it?
Li Da Xian then checked Xu Tian Tian's livestream's popularity.
He was drinking water, and he was so startled he sprayed water all over his screen.
The livestream had ten thousand viewers online!
Ten thousand online viewers wasn't uncommon in Li Da Xian's view.
His own livestream already had over ten thousand viewers.
The issue was, Xu Tian Tian was a completely unknown streamer!
He had never heard of her.
She had less than ten thousand followers.
He looked at the time she started streaming, only a few months ago.
A total newbie.
Plus, her livestream was a black screen!
Not only was there no facecam, there wasn't even a game screen.
Yet, she had already climbed to the top twenty in the game channel's popularity ranking.
And it was still rising.
This was absurd!
Could it be the platform owner's daughter?
Li Da Xian immediately dismissed that thought.
No way, if she was the platform owner's daughter, why would she only have ten thousand followers after streaming for a few months?
Who did she think she was?
What was going on?
Li Da Xian immediately turned his attention to the livestream's comments.
"Streamer got scared and cried?"
"Seems like the game triggered a protection mechanism and forced her offline."
"Little girls just have no guts."
"I don't think so, this game is too realistic, I felt a chill down my spine watching the livestream, the streamer must feel even more terrified using VR equipment in a full-immersion game, it's normal to get scared."
"I agree, just now, that big axe of Gu Hu Yuan, who wouldn't pee their pants?"
"We can't blame the streamer for that."
"Gotta give the streamer credit, she's really tough."
"Streamer still hasn't come back? I haven't had enough."
"First time I've seen such an addicting game."
"I was planning to watch some game livestreams to relax, now I'm screwed, I won't be able to sleep tonight."
…
Li Da Xian's brow slowly relaxed.
Sure enough, it was the game's fault.
The people in the livestream were all drawn in by the game the streamer was playing.
Judging from the comments, it was a super thrilling and explosive game.
Li Da Xian quickly checked it out.
He found the game's name to be "Black Myth Wukong".
Then, Li Da Xian realized, despite being a game streamer deeply familiar with the gaming industry, he had never heard of this game.
Li Da Xian immediately opened his search engine and searched for the keywords "Black Myth Wukong".
No search results.
The occasional results were all small domestic studios' pay-to-win mobile games.
The names didn't match.
Not to mention the quality of these games, it was a sin to even look at them, impossible to attract so many people.
After thinking it over, Li Da Xian had no other choice.
"Send a private message to this streamer named Xu Tian Tian, see if we can get the game's information, download link."
Li Da Xian immediately instructed his assistant to do it.
…
At this time, in a high-end apartment complex in Beijing.
"Nuliu Zhibèi" was at home.
She stared wide-eyed at the screen.
"Nuliu Zhibèi" couldn't believe it herself, just now, she actually showered a game streamer with a Super Fire.
It felt like she completely lost control of her hand.
"Nuliu Zhibèi" was a game streamer herself.
She had millions of followers.
She was quite famous in the industry.
Her greatest characteristic was her high education, vast knowledge, and clear mind.
She even had a degree from one of China's top universities.
She could even turn dross into gold.
Many viewers praised that playing the game was more interesting when listening to "Nuliu Zhibèi" explain it.
"Nuliu Zhibèi" made a decision last month.
To temporarily retire from the game streaming world.
Take a break.
The reason she gave was that she was too tired and needed to rest.
But the real reason was that "Nuliu Zhibèi" was too disappointed with the current state of games.
The market was flooded with games with childish plots, inconsistent logic, bad graphics, poor design, and their only selling point was their pay-to-win activities.
"Nuliu Zhibèi" even felt that she was slowly losing her passion for games.
She already had thoughts of completely quitting the industry.
After all, "Nuliu Zhibèi" was a graduate of P University and Q University, she was truly a prodigy.
Making a living was not a problem.
But just now, "Nuliu Zhibèi" was just browsing the game section when she found a streamer named Xu Tian Tian.
This streamer was clearly still very young and inexperienced, but she was clearly not slick, still full of a yearning for games.
More importantly, this streamer named Xu Tian Tian was livestreaming a game.
"Black Myth Wukong"!
