Chapter 61: The Cross-Dressing Game Streamer is Actually… (13)
Huo Xian: While it’s an unexpected benefit, kissing a little kitten…???
He suppressed a laugh and answered seriously: [Yes, I like you even more today.]
Huo Yuan happily flicked his tail.
At the same time, the bullet chat in the stream was full of screams.
【Kitty kiss! I’m dying of cuteness! Ahhhhhhhh!】
【What kind of magical cat is the streamer raising? Give me a dozen!】
【I want to transmigrate into the streamer so badly. I want a kiss from Yuanyuan too!】
【@Streamer’s partner: Your boyfriend is being stolen by a cat! Come catch the mistress!】
【@Streamer’s partner: Your boyfriend is cheating! Throw the mistress out!】
【Streamer’s partner: It’s okay, I don’t mind.】
【…】
The male fans really couldn’t understand what was so cute about a man and a cat interacting, and kissing at that. A person kissing a cat’s mouth would get a mouthful of cat hair, and aren’t they afraid of getting parasites or something?
So, the difference in thinking between men and women is really quite large.
But this didn’t stop those who wanted to watch the cat from watching the cat, and those who wanted to watch the gameplay from watching the gameplay.
The background setting of [Blood Demon Pool] was a place used by the Blood Demon Ancestor for cultivation. Demonic cultivators killed innocents indiscriminately and were ruthless, often using fresh blood and souls for cultivation. This Blood Demon Pool was filled with the blood of infants. Before fighting the boss, the Blood Demon Ancestor, players needed to shatter the bleeding skeletons in four directions. During this process, evil spirits would emerge from the blood pool. These evil spirits had extremely high physical defense and were also ranged large-area AOE damage dealers, very unfriendly to physical classes. In addition, although there were floating stones in the blood pool for positioning, the blood pool was poisonous. Each touch would stack a layer of poison. With high stacks, health would drop like a period, and it would increase the evil spirits’ attacks.
The most disgusting thing about the final Blood Demon boss was that he could heal himself and blink (teleport), which meant melee experts couldn’t freely combo. The streamer who fought for five hours ended up with the boss healing back to full health while fighting, and his combos failed while his mana ran out, forcing him to retreat to save his life.
Streamers all over were broadcasting it, and streamers all over couldn’t pass it. The difficulty was genuinely high.
“I’ll start it and try first.” Huo Xian hadn’t fought it before and couldn’t guarantee he would pass.
After triggering the plot, the bleeding skeletons in the four directions turned into red-named killable targets. He didn’t rush to start but checked their health bars. He could only say that it lived up to being the plot-dividing instance for the level 60 advancement dungeon. Just standing still and dealing damage would take a good while to destroy the skeletons. He calculated his current damage. If he were to stand still and deal damage, it would take at least five minutes. With the interference of evil spirits, double the time wouldn’t be enough.
Although Immortal Realm‘s dungeon design was pitted, it shouldn’t be that pitted.
Huo Xian pondered for a moment and picked a skeleton to start attacking. Ten seconds later, four evil spirits floating in mid-air drilled out of the blood pool. Players allergic to horror elements would probably be very repulsed.
He didn’t attack the evil spirits immediately. The evil spirits floated above the blood pool dealing ranged damage. He used the skeleton as cover. The evil spirits’ red skills struck towards him like blood snakes but were blocked by the skeleton. He didn’t lose a drop of blood. Instead, the health bars of both the skeleton and the evil spirits themselves decreased, and a “Backlash debuff” appeared below the evil spirits.
“It seems that letting the evil spirits attack the skeletons is the true way to attack.” Huo Xian maneuvered his character, ensuring the evil spirits’ attacks landed squarely on the skeleton.
In the stream:
【???????】
【Holy crap, so that’s how you fight the skeletons?】
【Ahhhhhh, what was I struggling repeatedly for before?】
【My friends and I burst into tears with a ‘woof’.】
【Streamer, whisper to me, did the officials leak the answers to you? I promise not to report you.】
【…】
The evil spirits died from backlash before the skeleton. Huo Xian finished off the skeleton’s last bit of health, and then his character gained a buff—Movement Speed increased by 50%.
Oh ho!
With the first skeleton as a test, Huo Xian followed the same method for the subsequent ones. By the time all four skeletons were dealt with and the boss entrance plot began, Huo Xian’s character had gained four buffs.
Besides the initial 50% movement speed increase, there was also a 50% damage increase, 50% defense increase, and immunity to blood pool damage.
【So, this is the correct way to open the Blood Demon Pool.】
【So, this is the correct way to open the Blood Demon Pool.】
【So…】
Huo Xian glanced at the bullet chat, a smile on his lips, and said unhurriedly: “Although Immortal Realm‘s dungeons are pitted, the planners wouldn’t design a dungeon that players can’t solo. Moreover, the skeleton’s health itself is unreasonably high, and the evil spirits being immune to most physical damage is also unfair to physical sects.”
【Please stop talking, streamer…】
【After the streamer’s analysis, I suddenly feel that the players who have been desperately grinding these past few days are so stupid.】
【Brother in front, life is hard enough, don’t expose it o(╥﹏╥)o】
【Shedding a tear of sympathy for myself and my friends who have been struggling to survive in this dungeon repeatedly.】
【…】
Although the skeletons and evil spirits in the beginning were cleared quickly, the boss’s healing mechanism and blinking were truly disgusting. Even though Huo Xian had high agility and a movement speed bonus, the boss’s random blinks still interrupted his combos multiple times. He couldn’t suppress the boss’s health line, which would make anyone irritable.
Fortunately, Huo Xian was someone who could patiently repeat an experimental detail hundreds of times. A mere Blood Demon boss was nothing to him.
Thirty minutes later, the boss fell to the ground.
[Huo Xian is awesome!] Huo Yuan consciously gave a reward as a boyfriend—a cat kiss.
Huo Xian didn’t know whether to laugh or be depressed for a moment.
However, the stream fell into a frenzy of spamming because he defeated the boss. During his solo fight with the boss, more and more viewers interested in [Blood Demon Pool] entered the stream. The number of viewers soared to 4.2 million at one point. Several wild wealthy bosses supported him, and within just one hour, gifts amounted to 190,000, catching up with Xianyu’s top streamers.
Xianyu’s streamer department sent another signing invitation, offering the best conditions directly: signing bonus, yes; gift split starting at 50/50; monthly streaming time of 120 hours; priority for on-site recommendations, etc. In terms of sincerity, ten Qingguos couldn’t compare.
Even though Xianyu was sincere enough, Huo Xian still politely refused. He didn’t offend anyone, telling the calling manager: “I like being a game streamer. As long as the platform can provide me with streaming conditions and there are no shady dealings, I won’t switch platforms casually, nor do I plan to stream on multiple platforms simultaneously.”
Just one sentence naturally couldn’t completely convince the Xianyu manager, but he didn’t chase Huo Xian for a promise, only saying he would ask again later if he changed his mind.
Surprisingly, besides the Xianyu streamer department contacting him, the Immortal Realm operations department also contacted him. The purpose of contacting him was actually… to ask him to be a spokesperson.
It’s normal for games to hire spokespersons these days, but they usually hire stars and internet celebrities. What about Huo Xian? He could barely be linked to internet celebrities, but he only temporarily broke out of the circle because of streaming Immortal Realm. How did he catch Immortal Realm‘s eye?
Although surprised, he refused after consideration.
In the original owner’s memory, there was no such thing as Immortal Realm looking for a spokesperson, and he had no intention of becoming one. However, the operations director was persistent and expressed a desire to meet him and talk. He thought about it and didn’t refuse.
Two days later, the operations director of Immortal Realm flew specially from Shanghai to the Imperial Capital just to meet him.
The operations director, Chen Xianming, didn’t come alone. He was accompanied by two colleagues: Xu Da, the chief sect planner, and Fang Wu, the art planner. According to Xu Da and Fang Wu, Huo Xian matched their imagination perfectly, both in character operation and in person. Especially Xu Da, when he designed the Wan Jian Sect, he aimed for the absolute strong operational strength and handsomeness of sword cultivators. He had also been paying attention to many game streamers playing the Wan Jian Sect, but only Huo Xian completely fit his image of a sword cultivator, even more perfect than he had imagined.
As for the art planner Fang Wu, she was the wife of the Immortal Realm producer. Immortal Realm actually had the idea of hiring a spokesperson early on but couldn’t find a suitable candidate until Xu Da recommended Huo Xian to her. She took a liking to him at first sight. The two conspired to urge Chen Xianming to ask Huo Xian out. Seeing him in person, Fang Wu wanted to fangirl even though she wasn’t at the age for it.
Chen Xianming listened to the two of them spilling the beans one by one, his eyelids twitching.
Helplessly, Chen Xianming had to sincerely invite on behalf of the two: “Mr. Huo fits the image of our game spokesperson very well. We sincerely invite you to be the spokesperson for the Wan Jian Sect of Immortal Realm.”
Huo Xian didn’t become arrogant after hearing this but said seriously: “I don’t think Immortal Realm needs a spokesperson. Immortal Realm has already spoken for itself with excellent quality. Nowadays, the whole nation playing Immortal Realm is the best evidence.”
He wasn’t deliberately flattering but stating facts. The playability and plot sect design of Immortal Realm were excellent, except for the pitted leveling and the difficulty curve of getting started with sects.
Hearing the sincerity in his words, Chen Xianming and the other two couldn’t help but feel a faint sense of pride. Chen Xianming looked at his two colleagues, then at Huo Xian, and said somewhat helplessly: “The competition in the game industry is fierce now. Immortal Realm is hot now, but there will be no shortage of more and better works later. We… want to take precautions.”
“Rather than taking precautions when the game is hot, it’s better to put more thought into the game itself. An excellent game is excellent not only in plot and setting but also in the care of the designers and planners for it. If you make the game with heart and don’t forget your original intention, it will become even better. What does it matter if more games come out, or if games become better? Are you admitting defeat before the battle has even been fought?” Huo Xian didn’t oppose planning ahead, but neglecting the game itself because of it was putting the cart before the horse and unnecessary.
Chen Xianming and the other two looked at each other. After a long while, he reached out to Huo Xian and said sincerely: “Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. We were too worried about gains and losses.”
The three of them, with an average age of forty, couldn’t see as clearly as a twenty-year-old young man. Chen Xianming smiled bitterly to himself.
Huo Xian nodded slightly: “I like Immortal Realm very much. The plot is wonderful, the Wan Jian Sect is cool, and the playability is strong. I hope it can continue to maintain this in the future.”
“It definitely will.” The three promised solemnly.
Before leaving, Chen Xianming made another request: “Can we ask Mr. Huo to film a new promotional video with your game character [Mozun] as the protagonist?”
Since it was a game, it naturally needed the promotional characteristics of a game. Currently, all 24 sects had promotional videos, but they were all simple skill usage promotions. The promotional video proposed by Chen Xianming was a plot-based promotional video, preferably allowing Huo Xian to fully display the strength of the Wan Jian Sect.
Filming a promotional video using only the character was within Huo Xian’s acceptable range, but he also made a request: He hoped the plot could include a cat.
The three who watched his stream immediately remembered that he raised a very cute cat named Yuanyuan.
Three days later, Huo Xian received the plot written by a gold medal screenwriter hired by Fang Wu, along with a modeling picture of a cat. Although called a modeling picture, it looked more like a 3D version of Huo Yuan.
It’s unknown when sword cultivators became the representatives of the Ruthless Path. Tropes like killing one’s wife to prove one’s sword path greatly ruined the reputation of sword cultivators. However, the plot written by the screenwriter hired by Fang Wu seemed to deliberately please him: A sword cultivator who was lonely at the top, a banished immortal who was inviolable and could only be looked up to and feared in the eyes of mortals, actually had a softness belonging to him in his heart. And what entered his soft heart was not any junior brother or sister, but a little cat.
