Creating a zombie in a mountain village terrifies players worldwide.

Chapter 97 I'm on fire!

[No. 1, Yingji Changkong, with a peak popularity of 340 million.]

[No. 2, Akaishi, with a peak popularity of 300 million.]

[No. 3, "Eagle Hair," with a peak popularity of 289 million.]

【No.4】

【No.5】

The top spot on the popularity chart is none other than the female streamer, Yingji Changkong!

With 340 million views, it shines brightly.

"Holy crap! 340 million! That's awesome!"

"I knew it! Who had the most viewers in their livestream these past three days? Besides the whiny girl, who else could it be? These numbers are well-deserved!"

"Congratulations, my sweetheart! You've finally made it through! Love you!"

The comments section was almost entirely filled with these kinds of comments, all expressing congratulations to Yingji Changkong for reaching the top spot.

340 million views!

This is more than twice as many as the original top male and female players in the gaming section, right?

When it comes to the top male and female stars, the audience gets quite curious.

Why didn't they air "Mita"?
During these three days, I streamed the MOBA tower defense game that I often play.

So they didn't even make it into the top ten of the popularity chart.

And it seems he didn't even participate in the event.

This surprised many fans.

Why didn't these two large-scale live streamers participate in the trial broadcast?

This great opportunity was seized by some streamers who are usually relatively unknown.

But given their size, Pixel Interactive Entertainment couldn't possibly deny them the qualification.

So what's going on?
Some fans even asked the two top streamers, but received no response.

As a result, the audience and fans started discussing it out of curiosity.

"No way, Tongtong and Laoyoutiao, two such big streamers, didn't stream Mita? What's going on?"

"What else could it be? Aren't Tongtong and Laoyoutiao both contracted streamers with Shanhai Guild? I bet the guild and Pixel Entertainment couldn't agree on the price, otherwise I can't think of any other reason."

"That makes sense! The Mountain and Sea Guild probably wanted to get more promotion fees, but they messed things up?"

"Is it possible that it has nothing to do with the guild, and that she just doesn't like playing horror games? She has never been a trend-following streamer. The previous 'Strange Videotape' was so popular, but she didn't broadcast it, did she? Old Yu Tiao is a well-known older uncle who only plays MOBAs and Dou Dizhu, so it's normal that he doesn't play horror games."

"How could that be? Tongtong said before that she was interested in this horror dating game and really wanted to play it. There are pictures to prove it."

"That's just polite talk. They're a big streamer, they have their own comfort zone. If the broadcast doesn't go well, wouldn't they be ruining their own reputation?"

"What you're saying is all possible, but the biggest surprise this time is that the two giants went into hiding, allowing a 'small streamer' to successfully steal their base and climb to the top! The Shan Hai Guild must be green with envy right now, right? The best move of the year!"

"You haven't watched Yingyingguai's live stream, have you? Her popularity has been so high over the past three days, she truly deserves the title."

"Indeed, opportunity favors the prepared. The whiny girl seized this chance and took off!"

While netizens were discussing the matter enthusiastically, on the other side, in a room in a certain residential area...

The curtains were drawn tightly shut, with only the faint glow of a mobile phone screen emanating from them.

Several snack wrappers were scattered on the table, and the instant noodle container next to it was almost empty.

A pretty, bespectacled girl was sitting in a gaming chair, excitedly swiping her phone screen with an expression of disbelief.

[Dear Yingji Changkong, congratulations on successfully topping the popularity charts during the three-day trial broadcast of "Mita"! You have won a prize of 10 RMB, 100 data packages, and 100 "Mita" CD keys. The prize money will be transferred to your registered account within 30 business days. Thank you for your support, and we wish you a happy life.]

"I'm number one?"

The whimpering monster pinched its own face, and the pain immediately came, proving that this was not a dream.

"I'm really not dreaming."

"100,000 in prize money. 100 CD keys"

"How did I, a nobody streamer without a guild, actually hit the jackpot?!"

"I knock!"

At this moment, Yingyingguai was extremely excited.

She immediately opened the live stream backend on her phone and looked at the data after yesterday's broadcast ended.

[Dear 'Yingji Changkong' streamer, your live stream data and earnings yesterday are as follows.]

[Livestream duration: 17 hours. (4 hours less than last time)]

[Number of attendees: 746501 (62451 more than last time)]

[New followers: +24159 (9465 more than last time)]

Number of people who sent gifts: 8654 (2966 more than last time)

[Number of bullet comments: 374121. (154801 more than last time)]

[Regional Ranking: 1st (Previous 2nd)] [Live Stream Revenue: 384165 yuan (45108 yuan more than last time)]

Upon seeing this data, the whiny girl jumped up in excitement.

"38? Holy crap!"

"These three days of trial broadcasts have earned me more money than I would have earned working like a slave for several years!"

"I'm just a low-to-mid-level streamer... a nobody, and I've actually achieved something like this!"

She suddenly jumped up from her gaming chair, the movement so forceful that she almost swept the empty instant noodle container on the corner of the table to the floor.

"Fuck! Fuck, fuck!"

She jumped up and down a couple of times, somewhat incoherently.

I am incredibly grateful to O5.

It was because of his horror games that her live stream improved and she successfully transformed her style, changing from cute and nerdy to abstract and fun.

Although the live streaming room was still lukewarm when it first transitioned, it couldn't compare to the top male and female streamers.

But things are different now. During her three-day trial broadcast, her earnings never fell below 10 yuan, and this 38 yuan is the highest she has ever earned.

Earning 38 yuan in one live stream!

Although 50% has to be given to the video website and taxes have to be deducted, the amount I actually receive is still quite substantial.

At least I earn more than when I was a beast of burden.

This has made Yingyingguai want to start broadcasting as soon as possible and make money non-stop.

However, it is precisely because of her small size that she was approached for this pilot episode of "Mita".

She was quite puzzled when she first received the invitation to a trial broadcast.

Given her size and fan base at the time, she shouldn't have had the chance to audition for such a popular game, especially considering there were so many established and famous streamers ahead of her.

It was later discovered that the trial broadcasts were almost exclusively for mid-to-low-level streamers, while the top male and female streamers had no chance at all.

Although I don't know why, this undoubtedly gave them a chance to stand out.

"This is like a windfall!"

"I finally got to broadcast Mingtang! God bless me, I finally got to broadcast Mingtang! Hahahaha!"

At this moment, Yingyingguai discovered that her private messages in the background had exploded.

Upon opening the link, besides the various elaborate praises and daily greetings from fans, there were also some clueless people who immediately asked her how much it would cost to fly all over the country.

The whiny girl pouted, flicked her finger, and blocked him.

After scrolling past these messages, she was met with a barrage of people claiming to be from guilds, trying to invite her to join one.

The offers were increasingly tempting, including preferential resource allocation, exclusive operation, and guaranteed minimum contracts, leaving her dazzled.

It even included an invitation from the largest guild on the video website—the Shan Hai Guild.

Looking at the overflowing private messages, Yingyingguai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

What started as a secret delight gradually turned into somewhat unrestrained laughter.

"I'm going to be famous! I'm going to be famous! Hahahaha!"

"We must capitalize on this surge in traffic, maintain stability, and not let it get out of control!"

"First, I want to print out Mita's photo, frame it, and hang it on the wall to remind me that I succeeded because of Mita."

"Secondly, I'm going to cosplay Mita in real life! Let's strike while the iron is hot and give our fans something new!"

"Hey hey hey"

Thinking of the bright future, Yingyingguai couldn't help but laugh again, her voice echoing in the small room.

At the same time that Yingying was having fun, in another city...

Tongtong, the top female streamer on the gaming channel, is currently staring at the backend data of her live stream with gritted teeth.

Her meticulously maintained face was now filled with gloom.

Originally, she thought that she should at least have a spot in the pilot episode of "Mita".

After all, she's a top influencer on the gaming channel with millions of fans, and she can easily attract tens of thousands of viewers with a single live stream.

Her operations manager also patted his chest and guaranteed, saying, "Tongtong, don't worry. For the trial broadcast of this kind of game, top streamers like us will definitely be given priority. Without you, Tongtong, the entire game channel would be much dimmer. Would they dare not invite you?"

To make matters worse, they didn't even invite me to the trial broadcast, and didn't even send me an email notification!
Instead, the spots were given to mid- to low-level streamers.

And it seems that her position as the top female star is also somewhat precarious.

Seeing those small streamers who couldn't even keep up with them gain such high popularity and must have a lot of revenue, they were all very resentful.

Just then, the phone screen lit up; it was a message from the guild's operations team.

[Sister Tongtong, even the higher-ups didn't expect the official "Mita" team to act so unpredictably.]
[Don't worry, we definitely will next time! We've already left a message for O5 and assured Pixel Interactive that even if it's free advertising and purely voluntary, we will definitely get the qualification!]
Looking at the message, they all took a deep breath and replied.

[Thank you for your hard work, it's okay if you don't have any.]
All they can do now is trust their own guild.

She certainly didn't want to hand over her top position to someone else.
