I Really Didn't Mean to Make Money

“Damn, hearing it like that, it really does sound like the real deal.”

“Not to mention, those two sniper shots just now were absolutely stunning, exactly what I imagine a sniper should be.”

“Yeah, this game perfectly simulates real-life scenarios, with buildings and vegetation all included. I’m thinking about hiding in the bushes and ambushing people—sounds like fun.”

“Streamer, what game is this? Please let us know.”

“Streamer, what’s this game?”

“Streamer, look at the chat...”

“...”

In the club office, Chen Cong and Du Ziteng were closely monitoring the live stream and, seeing the reactions in the chat, both breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon enough, they couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

The four streamers they had arranged were so engrossed in playing that they completely ignored the chat.

Now, the chat was flooded with questions about what game they were playing. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

These guys...

Chen Cong was speechless, but it was understandable since this was their first time streaming and they weren’t used to watching the chat.

Thinking it over, He typed the game’s name in the chat and sent it out.

The main purpose of arranging this live stream was to promote the game and, in turn, boost their club’s reputation.

However, he quickly realized that his message was instantly buried by other comments, and no one noticed it.

It seemed they’d have to wait until the game ended to get their attention.

Back in the gaming room, After a series of intense battles, Jiang Jiu and his team managed to survive until the end, claiming first place.

Jiang Jiu slowly took off his headset and felt his phone vibrate several times.

He checked his phone and saw messages from Brother Hao.

Seeing the content, he chuckled awkwardly, realizing he had completely forgotten about the live stream while playing the game.

He looked up at the screen and saw the chat, just as Brother Hao had mentioned, filled with viewers asking about the game.

He also noticed the viewer count and was surprised to see over 700,000 people watching.

“Hello, everyone. Sorry about that, I got too caught up in the game and didn’t notice the chat. Please forgive me.”

“Let me answer everyone at once. The game’s name is ‘Extreme Survival.’ If you like it, you can download it from the streaming platform by searching the name.”

After saying this, Jiang Jiu thought for a moment and wrote the game’s name in the stream’s title at the bottom right corner.

{Game Name: Extreme Survival. Available for download on the platform.}

“Extreme Survival, huh? Guys, I’m going to download it and check it out.”

“I’m in.”

“Count me in.”

“...”

Jiang Jiu watched in astonishment as the viewer count in the stream, which was over 700,000, suddenly dropped to just over 500,000.

But thinking it over, he knew exactly what those who left were doing.

They were clearly off to download the game.

Understanding this, Jiang Jiu relaxed and started the second round of the game.

To showcase the game’s diversity, this time they parachuted into a different location.

Gathering supplies, driving cars, and hunting for enemies.

This time, Jiang Jiu remembered he was on a live stream and occasionally glanced at the chat to interact with the audience.

“Guys, there are many types of supplies, and different guns have corresponding ammo, so make sure you don’t pick up the wrong bullets.”

“There are also backpacks and bulletproof vests, which come in different levels. The higher the level, the better the protection.”

“I’m mainly a sniper, and there are four types of scopes: four-times, six-times, eight-times, and sixteen-times. But the sixteen-times scope is rare and can only be found in airdrop supplies.”

“...”

As Jiang Jiu continued to interact with the audience, the stream’s popularity kept climbing.

It even broke previous records, with the viewer count reaching a million.

Over an hour later, Jiang Jiu had just finished a game and looked at the chat.

“Streamer, what’s up with this game? The people I’m matched with seem so easy to kill.”

“Yeah, I’ve played a couple of rounds, and the opponents aren’t as tough as the ones you face.”

“I noticed it too. The people I match with seem like bots, unlike the ones the streamer faces. But I discovered two new modes in the game: Ghost Mode and Biohazard Mode, which seem pretty interesting.”

“...”

Jiang Jiu looked at the chat and began to explain.

“The game has just launched, and there aren’t many players yet. To quickly match you with teammates, the game includes bots. But don’t worry, as more people download the game, you’ll be able to match with real players.”

“Another way is to create a custom room and invite real players to join, allowing for real player battles. However, to get the custom room privilege, you need to subscribe to the Monthly Card, so please consider your budget.”

“As for Ghost Mode and Biohazard Mode, I’ll be playing them after midnight. I’ll set up a room, and anyone interested can join. I’ve also figured out many tricks for these modes and can share them with you.”

In the office, Chen Cong saw that Jiang Jiu and the others were getting the hang of the streaming rhythm and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Jiang Jiu, who even thought of playing Biohazard Mode and Ghost Mode with the audience after midnight, which he hadn’t anticipated.

After all, he had initially planned for the stream to end at midnight.

So Jiang Jiu’s decision to continue playing with the audience was entirely his own.

But since Jiang Jiu wanted to keep streaming, he didn’t stop him. After all, the longer the stream, the longer the game promotion.

Seeing Jiang Jiu and the others start another game, Chen Cong exited the stream and opened the game download platform, quickly finding “Extreme Survival.”

His eyes fell on the download count for Extreme Survival.

750,000.

In such a short time, the download count had skyrocketed to 750,000.

And the number was still rising; just a moment ago, it jumped by over a hundred more.

Seeing such growth, if they continued streaming for two more days, reaching millions of downloads shouldn’t be a problem.

What a terrifying growth rate.

This growth rate was much faster than Tianlong’s.

According to Fang Chang, Tianlong’s player count hadn’t even broken 3 million yet.

But looking at Extreme Survival’s download numbers, it might only take a few days to reach 3 million.

But it makes sense.

While Tianlong is fun, there are too many similar games, causing some players to be diverted, slowing down the growth.

But Extreme Survival is different.

Currently, shooting games are quite monotonous, and Extreme Survival completely breaks the mold, offering a brand new way to play.

This has attracted all the shooting game enthusiasts, with no competition in sight.
