Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 114: Millions Spent, Shocking the Entire Internet

Not long after, everyone in the industry seemed to receive a signal to charge forward and spoke out in unison.

Edg.clearlove: @Uziqaq Little Dog will be streaming tomorrow. Those who are interested can enter the stream room in advance.

YSCandice: Wow, the puppy is going to do a live stream! I can't wait! (starry-eyed)

Lu Benwei - Wu Wukai: My good brother's live stream is going live tomorrow, so I won't be doing it. There might be an interactive segment between us, and both @GoDlike_Shenchao and I will be there.

pddliumou: @Uziqaq Wow, that's impressive! Tune in tomorrow night at 8 PM to witness the dawn of esports with the FMVP.

GoDlike_Shenchao: First, I wish Xiaogou all the best in winning the championship. Tomorrow, Xiaogou and I will start the first phase of our mysterious plan #Aiming for No. 1 in the Korean server#. You can see different perspectives in the two live streams.

Many people immediately sent their blessings to the premiere after reading Teacher Wawa's long post.

Shenchao is the most surprising one among them. He has been playing since he retired, all the way to S7. His live streams are still not the best, but not the worst either.

Now, the Xiyu platform is one of the top live streaming platforms in the industry.

Since arriving here, he has been looking for opportunities. At first, X Fish put in a lot of effort to recommend him, but after realizing that it couldn't be promoted, Shenchao was basically left to his own devices.

This time, Shenchao didn't dare to go directly to the RNG club to celebrate when his old teammate Uzi won the championship, nor did he dare to mention their teammate relationship and ask Uzi to help him out.

However, things turned out unexpectedly well; a windfall fell into his lap.

Tomorrow night at 8 PM, I'll be starting my duo queue journey with my dog. If I can seize this opportunity, maybe I can rise to prominence overnight.

With such excitement, even before the show airs, many people are already sleepless tonight. Everyone is eagerly anticipating it.

Even those who don't care about esports and are just playing games in internet cafes can't help but look forward to it.

With such terrifying heat, 8 PM was finally drawing ever closer.

The room has been created and is now open. Although the streamer is still on his way, the popularity has already exceeded 5000 million, making it number one on the entire platform.

The room number starting with a letter, and the live stream room named after the player's ID, looks very eye-catching.

"Uzi, Uzi, Uzi!"

"Where are they? Where are they? It's 8 o'clock! It's 8 o'clock! Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Dogs, doggy guys, we have some dog brothers!"

"Haolong, Haolong, a true dragon in this world, guess the name of an animal from Fujian."

[No, it wasn't Zhou Shuyi who sent out a Super Rocket*1]

[The lone swordsman roaming the martial world has activated the King title in the live stream]

[I am the only dog-like princess who gave away 666 membership cards]

"Stop sending it, stop sending it, I'm stuck here. Damn it, didn't I say I'd increase the bandwidth? It's still lagging!"

"My wonderful day started with seeing Sister Zhou, waaaaah~ (ecstatic)"

"No way, no way, someone really would dare to charge at Sister Zhou like that, right? (vomit)"

"I suggest the moderators ban the ads; it's completely crashing, and now the moderators are trying to defend it."

"."

The barrage of comments kept coming faster and faster, with waves of people posting ads, sending gifts, and making memes.

Li Luo, sitting in the club room, was already sweating profusely from the commotion.

It was my first time using a live streaming app, and I didn't understand a lot of things. I didn't expect that I would be able to do remote debugging in a nervous state. As the time was getting closer and closer, my phone suddenly rang with a message notification.

Mingguoguo is me: "Hahaha, I bet Gou'er is really nervous right now, it's hilarious!"

huhuhu: "Ming-san, I think you don't want to go back to the club. You're so cheeky, are you itching for a fight? (sneer)"

My Yasuo is strong: "Damn, Xiaohu and Xiaoming, I've memorized everything for you. When you come back, you two won't have any food left!"

mlxg: "Look, look, look at my hot pot! Wow, it's super authentic!"

The group tacitly avoided mentioning what they would say during the live stream, and as they talked, Li Luo himself forgot about being nervous.

"Get ready, you're 58 now, everyone's waiting. Look at your gift, holy crap, I'm so jealous!"

Feng Ge, who had been hiding in the WeChat group and spying on the screen, suddenly appeared and reminded everyone.

On X-Fish's side, the equipment was all set up, and they were just waiting for the "Start Live Stream" button to be pressed so that the video would be broadcast simultaneously, beginning Li Luo's first live stream. "It's 8:01! Holy crap, where is everyone? Where is everyone?"

"The puppy is gone. The puppy is gone."

"The golden age of RNG is coming to an end. Let's split up the RNG players."

"Hello everyone," Li Luo hurriedly put on his headset, pressed the start button, and stammered out his first words in his live streaming career.

But at the beginning, the words I had prepared beforehand were instantly forgotten, and a series of witty remarks without thinking naturally came out.

"My goodness, I've missed you all so much! I have to treat myself today!"

While logging in, I communicated with other users.

The very first sentence amused all the fans waiting in the live stream.

"Guigui, you've only just arrived today and you're already rewarding yourself? Are you that wild?"

"It made Grandpa laugh!"

"What will RNG's roster be next season? I want to see! I want to see! I want to get a reply! I want to get a reply!"

"."

The barrage of comments flowed like a torrent, without any lag despite the large number of viewers, leaving Li Luo dizzy. In desperation, he switched to slow-motion comment mode on the computer next to him.

"Take it slow, let's go one by one. Everyone's in such a rush, you know, men have to be slow, that way we're both more comfortable..."

"????"

While chatting and joking with his viewers, his popularity soared to over 100 million views in just one minute of streaming.

Everyone sent dozens of rockets and gifts without paying, and the top ten names on the contribution leaderboard changed almost every second. All the famous streamers on X-Fish sent their greeting gifts immediately.

"Hey everyone, please give gifts within your means. This page is stuck, please wait a moment, it's frozen and I can't get past it."

"I'm going to hold a giveaway for everyone. Let's say it's 300 million, divided among 1000 people. All you need to do is send some free fish balls to participate. Please don't send any big gifts!"

It would have been better if they hadn't said anything. Now that it's been mentioned, everyone who was originally hoping to get something for free can no longer resist. After giving away all the fish balls, they also offered a 6 yuan first-time top-up and a membership card.

300 million was the amount Li Luo had planned before the broadcast. According to his calculations, the gifts he received on the first night were worth about the same, so he figured he would just consider it all as a way to give back to his fans.

However, the reality is not so simple.

After the update, the room's popularity no longer increases with the number of players. Instead, the popularity is weighted and calculated based on the number of gifts sent. At this point, under the impact of countless gifts, the popularity directly reached 5 million.

The live stream unexpectedly crashed!

"Damn, didn't they increase the bandwidth? It's gone again?"

"The screen is moving, what's going on?"

"This crappy server crashes several times a month, I'm fed up."

Pinduoduo sent 100 Super Rockets.

[White White White White Star sent out 500 Super Rockets]

[Uzi was gifted 1000 Super Rockets by my husband]

[Uzi was gifted 1000 Super Rockets by my husband]

"Wow, is this what a rich woman is like? 2000 super rockets straight away! I'm so jealous!"

"Don't you care about money? These 2000 are worth 400 million! Are you kidding me?"

"I'm stunned. With 5 million views, breaking 60 billion is just around the corner (hint)."

The central screen of the live stream was completely frozen, and even the bullet comments were only refreshing sporadically, but the record of gifts sent was still intact.

Seeing the state of the live stream, Li Luo was a little confused and quickly called the staff at XFish.

"What's going on? Didn't we increase the bandwidth?"

"It's lagging. Our strategy was to prioritize gifts, then visual quality, then the chat, and finally the player flow. But now there are too many people sending gifts, consuming all the server resources, and the number keeps increasing—it's already surpassed 1000 million gifts... We're working on repairs; it'll be back up soon."

The staff member who answered the phone sounded like he had just finished a long run, and was out of breath.
