Chapter 1190 1290. Retired God of War
"Awesome or not, I just want to ask you guys, are you awesome or not, Cao." Just after Nie Wei and Han Dongjun were knocked down one after another, a live streamer named Lu Wukai shouted excitedly in a live broadcast room of the Fanxing Live Broadcast Platform.
"Twenty-five kills, I'm in such a good state today, I'm sure to win this game." Lu Wukai said happily to the camera with his big white teeth bared.
In his live broadcast room, the screen was filled with various gift special effects of rockets and airplanes, which took off continuously. Some viewers with poor computers almost crashed.
The barrage was also flying, with countless people calling him awesome, and some calling him a god. Lu Wukai glanced at the comment area, and so many boastful and flattering words made him feel happy and particularly enjoyable.
Tightening the mouse in his hand, Lu Wukai excitedly controlled the game character in the computer and continued to kill people everywhere.
Two minutes later, the settlement screen appeared. The golden words "Good luck, win tonight" appeared on the screen, and in the slightly smaller performance report below, the data of 29 kills was clearly marked behind Lu Wukai's ID.
"Did you see it? Did you see it? 29 kills to win the chicken. I just want to ask who else is there!" Lu Wukai roared excitedly, his voice like a crow's cawing, causing many viewers wearing headphones to take off their headphones and rub their ears.
"Lu Wukai, you bastard, are you going to die?"
"Can you shout a little quieter? My ears are about to be deafened."
"Damn it, you scared me. I checked the volume specially. I thought someone turned it up to 100."
"Please lower your voice."
Looking at the crowd of people on the screen who condemned him for shouting too loudly, Lu Wukai not only did not admit his mistake, but also looked proud. Who let this be his live broadcast feature?
He just relied on yelling to stir up the atmosphere in the live broadcast room. He didn't see that the people who were yelling at him loudly at this moment were the ones who gave the most rewards.
"I'm in great shape today. I can win the next game. Do you believe it?" Lu Wukai said proudly, and glanced at the comment area of the live broadcast room. But this time his face suddenly froze.
Because among the pile of compliments, there were a few comments that made him feel a little irritated.
"Lu Wukai, you're a cheater."
"This guy is definitely cheating. Professional players are not as good as him. He won the game with 29 kills. No one can do that in the high-end game of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."
"I bet Lu Wukai cheated. Last week, he couldn't even be in the top 30. This week, he became a god of war?"
"Cheating anchor, NMSL."
When he saw the last message, Lu Wukai's face suddenly darkened, and he immediately shouted: "Moderator, ban all the swearers!"
After an order, more than a dozen moderators jumped out and banned some accounts, all of whom were cursing the anchor or suspected that the anchor cheated.
But sometimes, the more you suppress, the more intense the resistance.
Those users who were banned from speaking, in anger, pulled their own small circle, re-registered an account and entered Lu Wukai's live broadcast room. For a while, there were many comments suspecting that the anchor cheated in the barrage. The moderators were also trying to ban people, but the number of enemies increased rapidly, and they had limited manpower and could not ban them at all.
While waiting for the game to start, Lu Wukai secretly glanced at the comments in the barrage. Seeing more and more barrages suspecting him of cheating, he could no longer sit still.
If such comments become a trend, it would be like yellow mud falling into the crotch, which is not feces, not to mention that he is also guilty, because he did use a cheat.
As a streamer, the most feared thing is to be out of fashion.
He used to be a professional player and won good honors. Later, he retired and live broadcasted. It was not easy to become a big streamer today, but what made him feel uneasy was that the game he once participated in as a professional player was going downhill, and the attention was gradually not as good as before.
The most important thing is that the audience who supported him also had aesthetic fatigue. With the departure of these local tycoon fans, Lu Wukai knew that he had to make changes, otherwise his status as a big streamer would definitely not be guaranteed.
Since he wanted to change, of course he had to choose the most popular game at the moment, so Lu Wukai took a fancy to "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
The popularity of this game on the live streaming platform has now surpassed the "League of Legends" he used to play. He knows that many former "League of Legends" professional players have also switched to this game, and many of them have achieved success. Naturally, he also wants to take advantage of the popularity of this game to establish his position as a big anchor.
It's just a new game. It's impossible to go from knowing how to be good at it all at once. Even if he is a professional player with good talent, his initial performance in this game is very bleak.
After a period of rapid growth, Lu Wukai naturally encountered a bottleneck period.
There is no shortcut to the bottleneck period. This is a water-grinding work, accumulating day by day until the accumulation of strength and entering a new realm. Some people with weak talents may not be able to get through the bottleneck period in their lifetime, and waste their time or simply give up.
Lu Wukai believes that his gaming talent is not top-notch, but it is not bad. For example, this game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" pays attention to a lot of things, including strategy and observation. Of course, it is fundamentally a test of a person's reaction speed.
And he is a person with very good reaction speed, but if he is not good at it, he can't be a professional player.
With this foundation, Lu Wukai felt that as long as he put in enough effort, it would not be difficult to become a "PUBG" master, but reality hit him. He simply did not have the time to work hard, because other anchors were killing in the game, and he was dying every day and dying in boxes. How could the audience like to watch him?
So when his skills had not grown to a certain level and he was facing competition from his peers, Lu Wukai fell into deep distress.
In a private gathering of anchors, Lu Wukai asked a friend who was also an anchor in distress. The anchor also transformed from "League of Legends" to "PUBG", but his transformation was very "smooth", and now he is already a well-known "PUBG" master.
"Brother, how did you improve so quickly? Do you have any secrets? Teach me." Lu Wukai hugged the anchor, calling him brother, and said affectionately, but he had a plan in mind, which was to get the other party's secret of rapid improvement.
Unfortunately, the anchor avoided the question and did not directly answer Lu Wukai's question.
Lu Wukai did not give up and kept his eyes on the anchor. A few days after the party, he invited the anchor to drink, to have a health check, and even took him to play the Battlefield game.
They had carried guns together and had a health check together. In addition to the Jinyuan offensive, after a day of health check and drinking some wine, the anchor finally gave in.
"Brother, I don't really have any secrets, but if you insist on asking, I have a way to make you improve quickly."
"What way?" Lu Wukai was very excited and asked hurriedly.
The anchor looked around with a vigilant look. Seeing that there were indeed no people nearby, he called Lu Wukai to come closer and whispered in his ear: "Cheating."
"What!?" Lu Wukai screamed.
He never thought that the answer he had spent so much money and spent so much effort on for so many days would be this.
"Don't be surprised. Do you think that skills can be acquired overnight? When we played League of Legends, would you dare to say that you were an expert if you didn't practice a hero hundreds of times? If you want to play the game seriously and well, there is no shortcut. Even if you are talented, you still need to study hard and practice hard."
"And do you think those game anchors are really that good? Let me tell you, not only me, but many anchors are using cheats. Look at those powerful guys who are broadcasting now. If not nine out of ten, at least five or six of them are using cheats." The anchor said with a sneer on his face.
Looking at Lu Wukai who was shocked and numb, the anchor took the initiative to recommend: "Brother, don't say I don't take care of you. If you want to use a cheat, I will help you contact the seller. I am familiar with this seller and will definitely keep the seller's information confidential. If it spreads out, you don't have to find them, just find me directly to blame."
"And this cheat is specially designed for anchors. Its function is to assist anchors, just like those scripts in "League of Legends". It does not modify game data, but only provides assistance. In fact, it is not a cheat, and there is no need to worry about being banned. There is just one thing I want to tell you, this cheat is a bit expensive."
"How expensive?" Lu Wukai asked subconsciously.
"This number." The anchor stretched out a palm and smiled: "Five thousand."
Lu Wukai looked tangled. He didn't hesitate about the price. For ordinary players, buying a cheat for five thousand yuan will definitely make them exclaim "crazy", but for Lu Wukai, five thousand yuan is simply a drizzle.
These days, he has opened more than ten times the amount of wine just to entertain this anchor. As for other expenses, he is too lazy to count them.
The price is not the point of hesitation, but the fact that he uses cheating devices to play games makes him hesitate.
As a former professional player, although he does not hate cheating to the point of abhorrence, he also hates it. However, the current situation is indeed that he is going to become what he once hated. Lu Wukai is full of entanglement in his heart.
"I may have to think about it."
"It doesn't matter. Whenever you want to use it, contact me at any time." The anchor smiled and said, looking deeply at Lu Wukai.
He felt that Lu Wukai, who was hesitant, was very similar to himself when he first learned the news.
Lu Wukai was very entangled. As a professional player, his dignity did not allow him to use cheating devices, but without cheating devices, he could not immediately improve his technical level and stand out among the anchors.
With a tangled heart, Lu Wukai's performance level was even worse when he was broadcasting live, and many times he could not even enter the top 20.
After another round of being killed, Lu Wukai turned off the game in annoyance and subconsciously glanced at the comments.
"This is the level of a professional player. My fifty-year-old uncle plays better than him."
"He didn't win a single game in more than ten games in one night. This anchor is really bad."
"My dog only won the runner-up at the beginning, but it was because of this guy's poor level. Without him, my dog would have won the championship long ago."
The sarcastic comments deeply hurt Lu Wukai's heart and made him feel a sense of crisis. The loss of popularity in the live broadcast room is visible to the naked eye recently.
At his peak, he could have at least two million popularity points after one hour of broadcasting, but now his popularity points have just exceeded one million after one hour of broadcasting. Although it is still enough to meet the standards of a big anchor, it is much worse than the peak period.
He was afraid that if he continued to waste time like this, he might not even be able to maintain his popularity of one million.
Born to be a face-conscious person, he didn't want to see his popularity drop to the level of a second- or third-tier anchor one day. This was not just a matter of income, but also about his face.
So he gritted his teeth and made a call to the anchor.
In the following days, Lu Wukai's fans found that his anchor seemed to have cheated and made rapid progress. Lu Wukai explained to the public that he had broken through the bottleneck period and understood the essence of the game, but only he knew that he had cheated.
And cheaters are most afraid of seeing someone suspect them of cheating. Even if Lu Wukai knew in his heart that the other party had no evidence to prove that he was cheating, he would panic when he saw someone saying so in the barrage.
So he immediately retorted: "I, Lu Wukai, did not cheat, and I will never cheat in this life. You can continue to question me. I am magnanimous and will not blame you. I will use my actual actions to prove that I did not cheat."
He almost shouted these words at the top of his lungs, as if the louder his voice was, the more confident he was.
But for those who questioned his cheating, the louder Lu Wukai shouted, the more guilty he was, so the barrage became more fierce.
On the other side, Nie Wei and his four companions who thought they had a chance to win the game were now confused.
"What's going on? Did we meet a god?" Han Dongjun looked through the kill record unwillingly, and found that the opponent had killed him and Nie Wei in an instant with almost no vision and at the extreme distance.
Shu Chang and Yang Xiaoli did the same thing later, so Han Dongjun concluded that this person was either a god or a god.
"Even professional players can't do it." Han Dongjun said in annoyance and indignation. The most fearful thing about playing games is encountering cheaters, because it will make all your efforts go to waste.
Nie Wei looked a little serious on the side. He didn't care about the record. He cared more about the "gods" that Han Dongjun mentioned.
"Are there many cheaters in this game?" Nie Wei asked seriously.
"Quite a few, there are fewer in high-end games, but if it's a low-end game, it's normal to encounter three or four cheaters in one game. Sometimes some cheat developers simply stand in the square and shout to sell cheats." Han Dongjun said with a wry smile.
