Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 715 - 678: Fire Dragon Invasion??

For the opening up of live streaming platforms, players were quite appreciative.

However, they were not very satisfied with only domestic live streaming platforms being opened up.

Especially Yi's fans.

Recently, they have been constantly urging Yi to collaborate with overseas female anchors from Cloud Dream, with significant success.

So far, there have been eight collaborative programs.

Among the eight collaborative female anchors, there is one British Bodhisattva, three German Bodhisattvas, two Ukrainian Bodhisattvas, one Izumo Bodhisattva, and one Baekje Bodhisattva.

The results of the programs were all explosive.

Especially the three German female Bodhisattvas, who were particularly popular among fans.

But recently, the female anchors from Cloud Dream Live Streaming Platform can no longer satisfy them.

They have set their sights on some overseas female anchors with "onlyfans" live streaming features, hoping Yi could collaborate with them as well.

Yi, being such a fan-spoiler, of course, would not ignore the fans' wishes, so he went to ask immediately.

Of course, it was through the "business cooperation" channel left by the other party.

Unfortunately, the other party said that although they were willing, due to the signed platform agreement, they could not live stream with him.

Yi and his fans could only give up reluctantly.

But now seeing the action taken by Cloud Dream, they have rekindled their hope and urged Cloud Dream to speed up and reach cooperation with overseas live streaming platforms as well.

To let Yi achieve more outrageous collaborations.

Of course, if they could also implement "Immersive Viewing of 18+ Live Streams in Virtual World" along the way, that would be even better.

Leander is indeed working on similar things.

——Of course, he hopes to promote collaboration with all proper live streaming platforms, not bothering with 18+ live streaming platforms...

Though it's not difficult to fix the domestic live streaming platforms in Daxia, it would be more troublesome to deal with the overseas ones, and Leander still needs the help of Cloud Dream's [International Affairs Department] to promote this matter.

It can be expected that this will take quite some time.

However, Yi is still very much looking forward to this day coming soon.

Even if his collaboration live broadcast might change from all ages to 16+ and the audience size greatly reduced, he would gladly accept.

Unlike Yi's expectations, Yelang was not at all interested in this.

Because the collaborative anchors his fans chose for him were all wild, muscular men from overseas who didn't like to wear many clothes, which were too spicy for Yelang's eyes.

...

Leaving aside these "future worries", they were still quite looking forward to tonight's event.

"Fortnite" is an addictive game to play, and it has a very different kind of fun compared to "Battlefield".

It's not as hardcore, full of randomness, paced, and more relaxing for casual players compared to "Battlefield".

And it's easy to create program effects and has excellent viewing pleasure.

With so many advantages, it's no surprise that within just two days, "Fortnite" exploded in popularity, with online rates skyrocketing, leaving "Witch" far behind.

Of course, even so, hardcore gamers did not slack off in their focus on "Battlefield" at all.

Everyone is holding their breath, determined to win the championship in the next "Peak War"!

Don't change the main battlefield until you get a championship!

The "Fortnite" Night event is divided into three stages:

First, 100 big and small anchors will play two rounds. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Then 100 professional players will play two rounds.

At this point in the club's evaluation, the status of "modules" is lower than that of "games".

Now they can organize so many professional players to participate in this event simply because Leander has spent a lot of money for the event's effect.

When anchors and professional players complete their rounds, the top 50 scores from both sides will be combined to form 100 random teams, then they will play two more rounds.

Although they realized that "Fortnite" is very suitable to become an esports project on the same day, they did not let their professional players invest too much effort into it.

Now they can organize so many professional players to participate in this event simply because Leander has spent a lot of money for the event's effect.

When anchors and professional players complete their rounds, the top 50 scores from both sides will be combined to form 100 random teams, then they will play two more rounds.

The competition of anchors attracts a large number of fans, producing enough program effects.

Competitions of professional players, on the other hand, delve into the depth of the game and provide exciting matches.

Finally, professional players and anchors team up, showcasing a grand performance of calf hair and thighs fighting side by side, creating an amusing spectacle..

The "My World" operation team watched the ever-increasing popularity of "Fortnite" and the tepid and suppressed "Witch", feeling speechless.

They wondered if "Witch" would ever have its breakout moment.

At the end of the "Night of Fortnite" event, players received an additional surprise—

Ren Jian and Zara smiled and announced, "Well, the 'Night of Fortnite' event is now over. Thank you all for joining us."

"Thank you for your company."

The director switched the screen, playing back highlights of the game while the ending music played.

Some audience members relished the exciting highlights, while others had already closed the live broadcast room and left.

But just 30 seconds later, the live screen suddenly went black, and the music stopped abruptly.

The screen then started shaking, reminiscent of the fluctuations that appeared on television screens during signal disruptions in the last century.

Muffled voices came from the background audio:

"It's too sudden... I'm not prepared..."

"Help, help, it's too late."

"I haven't even read the script for the news!"

...

"???"

A series of question marks floated across the screen as comments.

As the sound of two "bang bang" hits on the TV case, the screen finally stopped shaking and became clear.

Appearing on the screen were two familiar figures: the hosts of Metropolitan News—Jenny and Johnny.

"!!!"

"Isn't 'Metropolitan News' on Friday?"

"This is way too sudden! Wait, let me bring my five sons!"

...

The players were surprised, obviously not expecting to see Zhen and Qiang in this place.

"Metropolitan News," this program, had long gone beyond solely reporting news from the Metropolis, and was no longer operated by the "Assassins' Alliance" operation team but handed over to the Operation Department under Samuel.

Although the name of the program remained unchanged, it had essentially turned into "Cloud Dream Game News" in practice.

It covers all the major news stories that happened in the virtual world over the past week.

It even reports on upcoming events in various games next week.

As long as it happens in the game world, it's reported.

In this process, Samuel's team came up with various personas for Zhen and Qiang, but in the end, everyone thought it should be simpler.

Just following the designs of the real-life news hosts, and creating a happy-stooge little theater for each episode.

Of course, weaving in a serialized storyline in these little theaters, using simple costume changes and lines to let players experience their dating, breaking up, getting back together, getting married, and having children... and so on was an idea that Samuel_approves.

However, in Samuel's plan, this process would be very long, spanning at least 10 years.

—Only by being with the players for a long enough time will they be truly moved.

So up to this point, the two of them remain in the "feeling something for each other, but stubbornly refusing to admit it" stage.

"Hello everyone, dear viewers." As always, Zhen is professional, but her hairstyle is a bit messy, and her aquamarine dress doesn't quite match the solemn backdrop of the studio.

On her side, Qiang, with a dark green tie, is as nonchalant as always: "Hello everyone, hello, it's been a few days, you all must miss me so much!"

"We were called in to broadcast the news at the last minute today, and if there are any shortcomings, we ask for your understanding," said Zhen.

"It's an ambush live broadcast, you'll get used to it after a few years," Qiang said with a cool face, "Let's see, what big news happened."

As they picked up the news scripts in front of them, both the professional Zhen and the less serious Qiang opened their mouths wide and their eyes widened as they saw the first line of text!

"Next Monday, Metropolis... Fire Dragon invasion???"

Qiang read the line word by word, with a face full of doubt about life.
