Chapter 62: The Cross-Dressing Game Streamer is Actually… (14)
Huo Xian occasionally acted a bit schizophrenic in this world because he had stayed in the previous world for too long, and it was inevitable that he would have some sequelae of being an aloof god. When focusing on one thing, he couldn’t help but devote himself entirely to it, doing it with the attitude of a professional researcher, such as when playing games.
Before entering the [Blood Demon Pool], he counter-killed a player named [Nie Feishuang]. Sure enough, Nie Feishuang brought people to block him later.
As soon as he went online, he was attacked. While dodging, he quickly scanned several red names: it was a complete team with ranged, melee, tank, DPS, and healer.
The thick-skinned tank came up and gave him a hammer blow. Missing a hit, he directly activated taunt, treating him like a monster to pull aggro.
But a Wan Jian Sect player with the skill [Return to Ruins] in hand was a walking cheat. However, the range of [Return to Ruins] was fixed after use. Only within the skill range could the Wan Jian Sect player be immune to all control skills and forced aggro.
For Huo Xian, it was enough.
What is the most important point when being besieged? It must be to kill the healer first.
The healer in the team also knew this, so he kept the farthest healing distance from his teammates to heal. Unfortunately, Huo Xian didn’t play by the rules. He didn’t even exchange a single move with the tank and went straight for him.
The healer was stunned and turned to run. However, the Wan Jian Sect’s control was not fake either. A root skill was thrown out, and then the skills followed, scaring him into using his crowd control removal skill to run away. He thought that his teammates would definitely be able to stop the Demon Lord while he was running. After all, a Wan Jian Sect player who had used Return to Ruins was also a sitting duck.
Huo “Sitting Duck” Xian used vivid sword moves to show him what “operational skills” were.
Generally, game skills come with locked hits, but this is not entirely true in Immortal Realm. Immortal Realm tests the player’s positioning skills. If the positioning is flashy, the opponent’s skills can be completely dodged. If players want to improve their hit rate, one is to practice positioning more, and the other is to improve through enchantments on equipment parts, but it is only an improvement, and it still depends on operation.
For someone like Huo Xian who could make the enemy unable to touch even a corner of his clothes with his flashy positioning, skill misses were the normal state.
He had obtained all the extra attribute points from all advancement dungeons before level 60 and hidden quest rewards. Although his equipment was average, and his health was slightly increased according to Huo Yuan’s words, he focused more on Agility and Strength. When Agility points reached the hand speed limit, the remaining points were used to add Strength, so his damage was also extremely high.
Want to hit but can’t hit, want to control but can’t control, forced aggro can’t catch up. The rest of the team could only watch helplessly as the healer was sliced to death like vegetables in a few moves, followed by the assassin who also excelled in Agility. The squishy assassin lasted even shorter than the healer.
It was most appropriate to describe Huo Xian as killing gods when meeting gods and killing Buddhas when meeting Buddhas. The fourth one to lie down was Nie Feishuang. After lying down, he even typed white text to curse. Huo Xian responded with a report.
To maintain internet civility, many games have a profanity reporting system. Once confirmed, it can result in a 24-hour mute or even a ban.
As usual, a wave of “Streamer 6666666” first appeared on the bullet chat.
A toxic guild formed a team to snipe Huo Xian but was wiped out instead. Anyone who saw it would have to praise him as awesome, but there were also concerns that Huo Xian would be constantly harassed and troubled after provoking that toxic guild.
【Strong Shield: Streamer don’t panic, the whole guild transferred to the ‘Carefree World’ server yesterday, we will be the streamer’s strongest shield in the future!】
【Sponsor Son: The strongest shield is here, the toxic guild has been bountied server-wide until disbanded】
【Cat is the cutest: Damn, you guys are too fast. Since that’s the case, streamer, I’ll build a guild for you, the guild name will be ‘Yuanyuan’s Boyfriend Fan Club’, waiting for you to join, love you~】
【Damn that Cat is the cutest, you’re too insidious and despicable, actually wanting to monopolize Yuanyuan’s Boyfriend!!!!】
【Cat is the cutest: Ehe~】
【…】
Huo Xian interacted with the bullet chat for a while. Just as he was about to continue the quest, someone sent him a message.
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: Huo Xian, are you being chased by the Dark Dynasty people? Group me, let’s kill them back.
This whisper made the stream lively again.
【Eh, seems like we accidentally learned something】
【Pretend not to know Huo Xian’s name is Huo Xian~~~~】
【Streamer has a good name!】
【Calling him streamer is too distant, Yuanyuan’s Boyfriend is too long, Boyfriend is too ambiguous, finally can respectfully call him Brother Xian haha】
【Hello Brother Xian!】
【Hello Brother Xian!】
【Hello Brother Xian!】
【…】
Facing the ridicule of the bullet chat, Huo Xian just smiled and replied to Zhao Xiyou.
[Whisper][Mozun]: I’m streaming.
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: …
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: Spam it up
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: Spam it up
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: Spam it up
After spamming several messages until his name was invisible, Zhao Xiyou stopped.
[Whisper][Mozun]: How did you know I was being chased?
Dark Dynasty was the toxic guild Nie Feishuang belonged to. Many games had such players, and Immortal Realm was no exception.
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: Didn’t you see the world channel? Dark Dynasty has been spamming about you, and even put a bounty on your coordinates, wanting to block you in the wild.
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: I’ll group you, I have a healer here.
Huo Yuan couldn’t help saying: [Zhao Xiyou is quite enthusiastic, seems not that bad.]
Enthusiastic?
Huo Xian curled his lips, thinking: His boyfriend is really simple.
He rejected Zhao Xiyou’s team invitation.
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: ?
[Whisper][Mozun]: My stream bosses plan to disband Dark Dynasty.
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: ……………………
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: Your bosses are awesome.
[Whisper][Mozun]: En.
[Whisper][Qie Jian Tianxia]: Then you continue streaming, just call me if you need anything.
[Whisper][Mozun]: OK.
Although Huo Xian had no intention of joining the bosses’ guild, he still added them as friends. He could call them for dungeons later. After all, only soloing advancement dungeons gave attribute point rewards, ordinary dungeons didn’t.
After a while, Huo Yuan suddenly said: [Seems someone recognized Zhao Xiyou.] Feeling it wasn’t clear enough, he added: [Recognized his game character as streamer Bu Yiyi, and someone asked if you were him.]
Huo Xian asked him: [Do you think I should answer?]
Huo Yuan asked back: [Why not answer?]
Huo Xian asked unhurriedly: [Yuanyuan, do you know why he whispered me?]
[Because you were targeted by a toxic guild, and that guild was talking smack on the world channel with a bounty, he wanted to help you.] Huo Yuan answered as a matter of course.
Huo Xian freed a hand to scoop him into his arms and kissed him on the head. Huo Yuan was kissed inexplicably and asked in confusion: [Isn’t it?]
[Yes, and no.] Huo Xian said, telling the stream “I’m getting food for Yuanyuan” and leaving temporarily, then explaining to Huo Yuan: [My streaming time is free, but basically fixed in the morning. Guess if Zhao Xiyou knows I’m streaming today?]
If everything was based on the premise that Zhao Xiyou knew Huo Xian was streaming, then his whispering behavior was worth pondering.
It wasn’t that Huo Xian deliberately thought the worst of people, but he knew very well that with his current traffic in the Immortal Realm streamer circle, even a little bit of rubbing off was heat. Zhao Xiyou was an ambitious and scheming person. A few words could bring traffic to himself, why wouldn’t he do it?
[He wants to use his relationship with you to create hype!] Huo Yuan finally reacted, then became a little angry: [How can he be so thick-skinned!]
Huo Xian sneered: [For his own selfish desires, he deliberately led Grandma to the cross-dressing original owner before the original owner ascended to the ‘Immortal Realm’, disrupting the original owner’s task rhythm. Can you expect his skin to be thin?]
Moreover, the incident with Yin Pei’s computer also showed the shamelessness under Zhao Xiyou’s thick skin.
When Huo Xian finished feeding Huo Yuan and returned to the computer, fans were still talking about “Bu Yiyi”, and someone had already dug out that Huo Xian streamed like “Bu Yiyi” before. Those with big imaginations had already identified “Yuanyuan” as “Bu Yiyi”. After all, when Huo Xian was chased in the game, “Bu Yiyi” came to help immediately, directly shipping the CP on the spot.
“Bu Yiyi and I are classmates and roommates.” Huo Xian simply scanned the bullet chat a few times. Seeing the fans with big imaginations going in an increasingly outrageous direction, he stopped their imaginations in time, “Bu Yiyi is Bu Yiyi, Yuanyuan is Yuanyuan, don’t get it wrong, not the same person.”
【Hahahahahaha Brother Xian has a strong desire to survive】
【Desire to survive is really strong】
【@Streamer’s Partner The person involved expresses feelings?】
【Streamer’s Partner: I am not Bu Yiyi】
【…】
Huo Yuan perfunctorily replied and then asked Huo Xian: [Huo Xian, mentioning ‘Bu Yiyi’ in the stream is also considered driving traffic to Zhao Xiyou, right?]
[If he wants to draw traffic from me, he has to see if he has the ability.] Huo Xian said calmly.
Huo Yuan wandered around the internet for a while and came back somewhat worried: [Zhao Xiyou’s followers on Qingguo have exceeded one million. He is the best among this batch of newcomers…] It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Huo Xian, but streaming was different from doing research. In terms of professionalism, it was a fact that Huo Xian was not as good as Zhao Xiyou.
Huo Xian remained calm about his worries. He smoothed Huo Yuan’s fur and said unhurriedly: [Wait another month or two until the first player reaches level 99 and the Wind and Cloud Conference opens. That will be the moment for Immortal Realm streamers to truly show their skills.]
Currently, the highest level in Immortal Realm is level 99. Normal task dungeons take about 5-6 months to reach max level. Wild leveling and daily dungeon clearing will compress the time to about 3-4 months. After the first player reaches max level, a new large map will be opened. Just like the distribution of small worlds, medium worlds, and large worlds in cultivation novels, if levels before 60 are considered small worlds, then levels 60-99 are medium worlds, and level 99 until the opening of the “Immortal Realm” is the large world. PVE and PVP players will have different gameplay systems, and the content will be richer.
Viewers who watch streams can’t be said to not watch PVE dungeons, but compared to dungeons and bosses, challenges and excitement are what more people pursue. Moreover, Immortal Realm is a rare game with very good class balance. Tens of thousands of players who experienced it during the closed beta gave consistent high praise, so the Wind and Cloud Conference designed in 1V1 format is also expected by countless passionate players.
The Wind and Cloud Conference will also be the moment for streamers to show off their skills. As for those who want to take the black-and-red route in the name of being a noob, sorry, netizens have long stopped buying this. Only true technical streamers can become popular.
Huo Xian followed Huo Yuan’s advice to choose the Wan Jian Sect, not without the intention of competing with Zhao Xiyou.
Same sect, same technical style, so who will be the better one?
In the afternoon, Huo Xian didn’t start the stream. He went through the task leveling quietly alone. Not to mention, the plot of Immortal Realm is really good. Grudges, joys and sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death are all hidden behind the plot. If you can calm down and watch the plot properly, it might be a new experience.
He did tasks for a while and distracted himself to call: “Yuanyuan?”
Huo Yuan was not sleeping, but dazing on the red woolen cushion, which was not “cat-like” at all.
[Huo Xian, Zhao Xiyou is really too shameless!] Huo Yuan said indignantly after coming back to his senses.
“What happened?” Huo Xian asked.
[He is streaming. There are many of your fans in the stream. He doesn’t shy away from your fans asking about you, and deliberately cues you, including admitting that he learned to solo Blood Demon Pool by watching your stream, and is very grateful to you.] Huo Yuan said angrily. After finishing, he paused and said somewhat angrily: [Huo Xian, you should start streaming in the afternoon and evening, circle all the fans in the stream, and never give them a chance to climb the wall!]
Huo Xian found it funny hearing this and rubbed his belly comfortingly: “Fans are people with independent thoughts. No matter how powerful and domineering I am, I can’t control everyone’s thoughts.”
Huo Yuan understood the reason, but he was still angry!
“Zhao Xiyou keeps mentioning me in his stream, and openly admits that he learned to solo Blood Demon Pool by watching my stream, which is equivalent to promoting me. Maybe his fans will flow to my stream when I stream tomorrow?” Huo Xian smiled.
[Your fans flowing back and forth like this, isn’t it equivalent to disguised binding?] Huo Yuan’s cat face wrinkled.
Huo Xian pinched his cheek and said meaningfully: “Binding after both parties reach an agreement is called binding. Unilateral binding is called hype.”
