What do you mean the games you make are all real?!

"Boss, what did you say? Play Miteng's games?" Shu Yiheng was the first to jump up, almost overturning the table.

"A game made by a garbage company like Miteng, you want me to stream it? Wouldn't that ruin my reputation?"

"Yeah, boss, I have hundreds of thousands of fans in my live stream, all of whom come for my battlefield skills. If I'm suddenly asked to stream a zombie game, will my fans buy it? Do I even want to keep my live stream?" another streamer chimed in.

"And I heard that the game is actually free to download," someone else chimed in, their tone laced with undisguised disdain.

"What kind of quality can you expect from a free-to-download game? It's probably the kind of poorly made stuff that tricks you into downloading and then fills the screen with GG (game over) errors. You play for five minutes, get three GG errors, and you can only continue playing after watching all of them."

"That company has a terrible reputation. They copied Battlefield 2 terribly, and players are all criticizing them. We'll lose followers if we stream this!"

Zhou Luo didn't join in the commotion, but muttered under his breath, "Didn't they just release a trailer for that game yesterday? It should still be a while before it's officially released."

Tan Qianfan listened to everyone's complaints without expression, then took out his phone from his suit pocket, opened a page, and turned the phone screen towards them.

"The first level of Resident Evil: Raccoon City has been released. Here are its download figures; see for yourselves."

A few people gathered around, and the screen displayed the game store page for "Resident Evil: Raccoon City".

At the top of the page were a few numbers, and everyone's eyes widened the moment they saw them.

"Ten...ten million?" Shu Yiheng's voice changed.

"It's only been online for a few hours, and it's already reached ten million downloads?"

"To be precise, it took three hours and seventeen minutes after it went live to reach ten million downloads," Tan Qianfan said calmly, putting his phone away.

"And it's growing at a rate of two million per hour. At this rate, it will be able to break 20 million downloads today, and breaking 100 million within a week is not a problem at all."

Everyone was stunned. They all knew that the download numbers for Resident Evil: Raccoon City wouldn't be low.

After all, the previous trailer was really good, with the quality of a complete blockbuster, and it was released for free. Even if a blockbuster like this is a piece of crap, a lot of people will still go and try it if it's released for free.

But no one expected the download numbers to reach such a terrifying level.

Even Battlefield only had 50 million downloads in a week, but Resident Evil reached that number in just three hours.

This is way ahead of the world record. If it's really that popular, then it's definitely worth broadcasting.

"I probably don't need to do a live stream." Just as everyone was lost in thought, Liao Yunkai spoke calmly.

He was the company's absolute pillar and cash cow, with a large number of loyal fans, so he naturally had the confidence to refuse.

Moreover, he has already earned enough from streaming Battlefield, so there is absolutely no need for him to touch a new game with questionable reputation.

"this……"

Tan Qianfan looked troubled, sighed, and then slowly spoke.

"Yun Kai, Miteng Company specifically requested that you do a live stream. I didn't just decide on a whim because I saw it was popular. This is a commercial order from Miteng. One day of streaming is equivalent to a month's salary for your normal live stream. If you don't stream, the contract we just signed will have to be voided."

He naturally didn't want to offend his cash cow, but Miteng Company was offering him too much.

"Holy crap! They pay me a month's salary for just one day of broadcasting!"

The young streamers who were initially somewhat resistant immediately lit up; as long as the money was right, they would eat anything, even a pile of shit.

However, they didn't even have the right to choose. Everyone started looking at Liao Yunkai expectantly, their eyes filled with hope and even a hint of pleading.

However, Liao Yunkai remained silent.

"How about this, let's see what the actual quality of 'Resident Evil' is like first. I heard that Captain Ao also took on a commercial order from Miteng, and it should have started airing by now. Let's watch him play a round first. If the game quality is really so bad that it damages our reputation, I will immediately cancel the commercial order and will not force you." Tan Qianfan gritted his teeth and made a concession.

"Captain Ao also accepted this business order. He doesn't care about his reputation at all!" Shu Yiheng exclaimed upon hearing the name Captain Ao, and even Liao Yunkai was somewhat surprised.

Captain Ao was a legendary figure, or rather, a controversial one.

He is also one of the top game streamers on the platform, on the same level as Liao Yunkai. At his peak, he was even more popular than Liao Yunkai, with his live stream often having 200,000 to 300,000 people watching online at the same time.

But his style is completely different from Liao Yunkai's.

Liao Yunkai is a technically skilled individual with precise marksmanship, seasoned tactical awareness, and hardcore operations honed from his special forces background. Watching his live streams is like watching a military training video.

Captain Ao, on the other hand, takes an entertainment-oriented approach. His gaming skills are slightly better than the average person, but far from being top-notch.

He became popular because of his eloquence. He got to where he is today with his dazzling commentary, exaggerated expressions, and unexpected stunts. Viewers watch his live streams not to learn skills, but simply to have fun.

However, this person has a major flaw: he doesn't cherish his reputation.

To be precise, she loves money very much.

He'll take any game commission as long as he's paid. A while ago, he recommended a terrible game called "Little Saint Returns" to his fans during a live stream.

How bad is the game? The modeling is so rough it looks like something from ten years ago, the controls feel like swimming in mud, and there are so many bugs it's like holes in a sieve. You can get stuck three times in ten minutes of playing, but the price is quite high.

Captain Ao raved about the game in his livestream, calling it the pride of Chinese-made games, the best of the year, and saying you'd regret it if you didn't play it. His fans believed him and placed orders to buy the game.

Then the fans felt like they had eaten a piece of old dog poop.

Then, Captain Ao's comment section, private messages, and bullet comments all exploded.

His fan count dropped by hundreds of thousands in three days, and the popularity of his live stream also plummeted, from a peak of over 200,000 concurrent viewers to less than 100,000. He almost got flamed by his fans and forced to quit the internet.

Later, he issued a long apology letter, saying that he had misjudged the situation and let everyone down. He also promised to be more cautious when accepting commercial orders in the future, which gradually won back some of his fans.

Now that some time has finally passed and the storm has died down a bit, he's actually started taking orders from businesses again.

"Then let's see how the game's quality is first," Liao Yunkai finally agreed.

He still couldn't bear the expectant looks he was getting. If he ruined the deal because of his own actions, the others might not say anything, but they would probably hate him in their hearts. After all, cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents.

I'm also very curious about the quality of Resident Evil. After all, the quality of the trailer speaks for itself, and so much money was spent on promotion. It can't be that bad, right?

Upon hearing Liao Yunkai's words, Zhou Luo immediately turned on the television in the restaurant and began searching for Captain Ao's live stream.

Meanwhile, Captain Ao's live stream had just begun.
