Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

"Lin Shen, the person in charge at YY contacted me and wants to talk to you about signing a live streaming contract. What do you think...?"

Tsk~

The fish bite very quickly.

Lin Shu nestled in the office chair he'd bought for thirty yuan, his phone screen lit up, Lao Song's message prominently displayed in the WeChat chat box.

He thought that even if he temporarily reached the top spot in the national server, he would have to wait at least a day or two before the people from YY contacted him.

It seems that the other side is quite anxious that the first place in the "Rank Championship" is occupied by a non-platform streamer.

One week!

Just one week!

This was after Lin Shu entered the peak game, and even after being targeted by the crew several times and having his account intentionally fed by selling points, it still took him 2,400 to 2,600 points.

All I can say is that Riot Games set some of the stats for certain champions in Season 2 that were just too good to be true.

Of course, Lin Shu didn't increase the difficulty of the game for himself and stubbornly played solo.

His duo partners included his cheap apprentice Li Nan and the rich guy who tipped him 1,000 yuan to learn Riven's lightning-fast QA.

One person supporting four might be quite difficult.

But if you add a top laner or jungler who unconditionally obeys you, the obstacles to climbing the ranks... are still there, but significantly fewer.

"There's no rush with YY, Brother Song. Just reply to me that I have something to do and I should be free around tomorrow or the day after."

"Okay, then I'll reply like that."

Song Xiaohang was also straightforward; he didn't ask why and just replied with the original message.

During this period of cooperation, by proactively reducing his commission and sharing a little information, Lin Shu has already helped him gain countless exposures in the game boosting market. Not to mention the current situation, which is almost like doing him a favor—using him to connect with the outside world is a deal that's profitable no matter how you look at it.

"Hey Lin, about the video collaboration you suggested last time, I've considered it, and the price is no problem..."

"Okay, I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

"I'll upload my first video tonight, and I'd appreciate it if you could pass on a message to Duowan about the recommendation."

"Haha, no problem at all, happy to cooperate!"

Lin Shu turned off his phone.

Yes, even now, he still doesn't plan to sign a live streaming contract with YY immediately.

Is it urgent?

in a hurry!

Of course he's eager to make money, to make a lot of money.

But there's no way around it; the starting conditions are what they are. He can only make the best use of his resources to get enough returns by arranging each step properly.

Does YY want to sign himself?

2600 points, the highest score in the Chinese server!

Undoubtedly, that's what he wants, he dreams about it.

It's not just a matter of wanting to, it's to the point where signing is a must.

First, there's the question of who gets first place in the "Rank Championship".

YY's original intention was to use the number one position to define the standard of "strongest", so that players, streamers, and guilds would recognize YY's authority and consolidate YY's first-mover monopoly in game live streaming.

Once they control the distribution of traffic to the "number one in the Chinese server," they can use this benchmark to guide who they want to promote, who they want to suppress, and which guild they want to give resources to.

YY can't possibly organize an event, promote it for ages, and have its own streamers work hard for two months only to have someone from another platform win first place, right?

That would be a huge joke.

Of course, this was also the scene Lin Shu wanted to see.

Compared to competing with other streamers for the top spot in the national server, there's no as satisfying thing as starting your stream as number one and then spending the entire month watching your own streamers challenge you, ultimately only able to compete for second place.

So after knowing the platform's bottom line, Lin Shu was no longer in a hurry.

There's still one thing missing!

Aside from his title as the number one player in the Chinese server, something that proves Emperor has the ability to double the overall UV, duration, and activity of YY game live streaming, while simultaneously causing a surge in GG and gift revenue.

Only by proving their value in monetizing traffic can they have more leverage when negotiating live streaming contracts with YY.

And this thing...

video!

Yes, it's a video.

For League of Legends in its early seasons, or for any game that is popular enough, game strategy videos are an indispensable part of its operational ecosystem.

However, due to its unique ranked ladder system, League of Legends has brought players' desire for rankings to a peak.

If boosting services are considered an "evil practice," then watching tutorial videos, improving one's personal competitive skills, and ranking up on one's own is the legitimate "right way."

Boosting, as an unorthodox option, has an incredibly considerable market in the massive user base of League of Legends, let alone tutorial videos that follow the mainstream path.

Not to mention at this time, there are very few tutorial videos about League of Legends on major video platforms and esports forums.

There are only a few, and the quality varies greatly; some can't even explain the basic concepts clearly.

In addition, creating videos is one aspect of demonstrating one's ability to monetize traffic and influence.

The more direct reason is that in this era, making videos can really make money.

Let's not even talk about the revenue sharing from increased video views and followers, or the bulk of the income from driving traffic to Taobao stores to sell products.

In today's environment where major video platforms are burning money to grab content, a video with over 500,000 views can bring you several thousand yuan in income.

Let's get back to video production.

At present, when it comes to League of Legends, Lin Shu dares to say that no one can surpass him in terms of the popularity of his teaching content.

question?

Are you trying to question the man who has a 2,600-ranked ladder score and is the number one player in the Chinese server?

……

"The Top Chinese Server Player's Guide to Ranking Up: A 2600-Meter Footage Match!"

That's right. When it comes to clickbait titles and video views, the phrase "Lin Shu is number one in the national server" is worth more than tens of thousands of views that others painstakingly promote.

The keywords focus on what players care about most: ranking up, and providing high-quality reference matches with a score of 2,600 points.

Tell me, in the realm of instructional videos, who can beat him?

During the days he spent climbing the ranks, Lin Shu was not idle. He recorded a lot of high-quality games using the Fraps screen recording software. It was very easy to find one of them as a starting point for making tutorial videos.

However, after reviewing the match twice, Lin Shu still chose the one where he had reached the top that day.

First of all, if someone claims to be number one in the Chinese server, they need to have corresponding ranking evidence.

Secondly, this top-level match features many star players, making it excellent material for attracting viewers.

"Okay, the material is confirmed." Lin Shu leaned back in his chair, hands behind his head, eyes fixed on the ceiling. "Let me think about how to write the copy..."

To create a high-quality video, the source material is important, but the script used to describe the game is equally important.

As you can see, the guy with the big nose who was facing him in the last game—after retiring and transitioning to live streaming and video making, his phrase "instant explosion" became a classic meme among countless LOL players, and people would joke about it wherever he went.

Then there's Huludao Xiaozhi, who can't stop talking about his sister-in-law and constantly emphasizes his good looks. He also broke through the competition with his signature speaking style.

In short, you need to have your own unique logo.

Lin Shu closed his eyes, his mind starting to race.

What's a good symbol?

It needs to be distinctive, fit the "Number One in the National Server" persona, and be catchy so that the audience can remember it after hearing it only once...

A moment later, he opened his eyes, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.

Have it.
