Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 907



Chapter 907: Chapter 859: The Attack of the Elementary Student_1 Chapter 907: Chapter 859: The Attack of the Elementary Student_1 On the third day of Lunar New Year, parents all over Daxia noticed something bizarre:

Their children were actually getting out of bed without being nagged!

This was far too unusual!

During the usual holidays, weren’t they impossible to awaken before 8 o’clock?

And after eight, didn’t they have to be dragged out of bed?

It was particularly so during the New Year period, where getting up every morning was like going to war.

But today was different, extraordinarily so:

The children not only rose early from bed but also spontaneously began doing household chores.

They swept the floors, wiped the tables, bustling about diligently.

Pair by pair, parents watched their industrious children with a puzzled expression.

It wasn’t until their children, with ingratiating smiles, massaging their own shoulders, requested to start playing video games early in the morning that the parents finally understood.

Then came the ruthless rejection!

Joking aside, staying home playing games instead of visiting relatives on the third day of Lunar New Year goes against all customs!

Unless it were a custom that one did not need to visit relatives on the third day of the Lunar New Year, even the most understanding parents would only allow their children to play for one or two hours, as they would still need to visit relatives by noon.

Hence, everyone had to take out their mobile phones and satisfy their cravings by watching live streams.

As such, streamers who were able to overcome these obstacles and begin their live streams for a while have seen a noticeable increase in viewership in their live broadcast rooms.

Of course, while some of them attributed this to the surplus of idle people during the New Year, others thought it was due to a different reason—

In Victoria’s live broadcast room, she was introducing a little boy to her fans, “Let me introduce you to someone, this is my nephew, a Grade 6 student this year.”

“As you all know, I ran around all day yesterday and didn’t find a Mirage at my hometown.

The one I’m using now was obtained by my nephew.”

“To express my gratitude, today, I’m going to play with him!”

*

In Yi’s live broadcast room, he looked more serious than usual.

The reason, naturally, was because a little girl was standing next to him.

“This is my cousin, the console I’m currently using for the live broadcast was obtained by her.

In exchange, she’ll be the streamer for the day.”

“Yes, she’s the streamer today.

I’m her assistant.”

The viewers were all doubtful, “Your little sister looks about 13-14 years old, right?

Where did she get the console from?

She’s incredible, isn’t she?”

“Uh…” Yi was somewhat hesitant.

But his cousin casually said, “Of course, I had to extort it from my little brother!

He’s only 9 years old this year.

Playing fewer video games is for his own good.”

The viewers burst into laughter instantly.

*

In Yelang’s live broadcast room, the siblings were teaming up as well.

But there was no issue regarding the console—

“This is my older sister, real sister.

Since we don’t have much to do at home during the New Year, we’re going to play a new game together.”

The viewers all greeted her enthusiastically in the live broadcast room:

“Hello, Sister Night!”

“Hello, Sister Night!”

The neatly arranged “Hello, Sister Night” comments scrolled for a while before someone jokingly interrupted, “No wonder the streamer looked so pretty when he cross-dressed back then, it runs in the genes!”

This comment instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the viewers:

“We strongly demand that the streamer changes gender in Terraria!

We want to see sisters!”

“Hooray!

Real-life sisters are the best!”

“Sisters!

Sisters!

Sisters!”

Yelang’s sister merely nodded calmly, smiling, “Sure, I don’t mind.”

“Sis!” Yelang interrupted loudly, “Can you please say less?”

“Hahaha.” Both the sister and the viewers burst into laughter simultaneously.

…

…

That day, many live streamers’ broadcast rooms were graced by the presence of family members, relatives, and friends.

Some of them had appeared because they borrowed a console and promised to do so as a condition, some were tasked by their parents to look after the children, while others merely happened to be back home for the New Year.

Their appearances have filled the live broadcast rooms with the festive atmosphere of the New Year, making it lively from an early hour.

In this lively atmosphere, “Animal Party” went live exactly on time.

*

Super Tomato sat on the couch in his virtual house, and saw “Animal Party” directly from the login options.

This took him by surprise, “Login directly?

Don’t need to log in to Paradise first?”

“Its status is obviously higher than [Candy Track], it’s being treated as a completely new game!”

While speaking, he swiftly clicked to log in.

The moment he logged in, his body evaporated into strands of light.

When it coalesced once again, he found himself in a bright, orange-yellow room with several cute animal portraits hanging on the walls.

A small sofa was in front of him, and a large screen was behind him.

Super Tomato turned around, looked at his reflection on the screen with surprise, and exclaimed, “Have I really turned into a dog?”

In the eyes of the viewers, a plump corgi-shaped human stood before the mirror, surprised, as it rubbed its own dog head with a paw non-stop.

Of course, “surprise” was something they inferred from his actions and voice.

If you observed with the naked eye, and not by making exaggerated facial expressions that moved the entire facial muscles, it was indeed not easy to read from a dog’s face.

“Even though I was mentally prepared after watching the trailer, this is…

too realistic!”

Super Tomato rubbed his face with his two dog paws, and then brushed his white-padded belly, a strange feeling indeed.

The feel of petting a dog undoubtedly came from his hands, but his own belly also felt like it was being rubbed by a kitten or puppy.

He rubbed his dog ears and began to observe the surroundings: “If I’m a dog, let’s move on and look at the tutorial level.”

Following the arrow’s guidance on the floor, he proceeded towards the next room.

But as soon as he stepped forward, Super Tomato felt something was wrong, as he staggered and almost fell.

The live-streamer community was puzzled, while he looked down at his short legs and said, a little speechless: “These legs are too short, I can’t even walk steadily, and …”

As he spoke, he tried to run.

” …

It seems running is steadier than walking!”

The sensor door opened automatically, and Super Tomato, with his short legs, ran into the second room with his paws patting, only to be greeted by a row of isolation barriers blocking his way.

He quickly braked, but his short legs could not stop in time, and the inertia of his chubby figure caused him…oops, a dog, to fall onto the floor.

He slid a little forward on the smooth floor, and the isolation barrier, with a “duang” sound, hit his dog head.

Super Tomato was instantly dizzy, and the whole dog suddenly “shut down”, lying on the ground without moving.

“Hahaha …” The comments were full of laughter.

Super Tomato was paralyzed and dizzy for several seconds, and only then did he shake his dog fur and regain control of his body.

The first thing he did after getting up was complain: “Damn, my body isn’t doing what I want it to!”

“Who would have thought that in a game, you have to re-familiarize yourself with your limbs …”

While he complained, he carefully overturned the second row of isolation barriers and cautiously entered the third room.

In front of him was a huge Corgi sculpture, and behind the sculpture, the floor of the room was divided, with a large drop in the middle.

On the big screen on the wall, the Corgi sculpture leaped over the pit in the middle, apparently demonstrating for him.

But Super Tomato first tried if he could climb the opposite side, only to find that the pair of arms that had become dog’s forelimbs could not exert any strength, and no matter how he tried, he could not climb up, so he reluctantly ran back to the left side, sped up and jumped, trying to leap over the gap in the middle and reach the right side of the room.

But he overestimated his short-legged jumping ability, and the speed was not enough, causing the jumping distance to be a bit short.

His dog’s head “bumped” on the floor at the other end, and then—

He felt a sense of dizziness and paralysis again…

The next time he jumped, he learnt his lesson, gathered all his strength, and sprinted at full speed, finally making the leap.

Next was the fourth room, and in the middle of the room was a glass display cabinet with a huge lollipop inside.

Then, in the upper left corner was a light green block, and in the lower right corner was a button.

Super Tomato, following the tutorial displayed on the screen, held the block with two dog paws, moved it onto the button and put it down.

The room’s door opened.

But he didn’t rush to it right away, instead, he slapped and smashed at the display case until he finally broke the glass and took out the lollipop.

–This thing appeared in the trailer, a legitimate two-handed heavy weapon that could blow an opponent’s dog head with a single hit.

Super Tomato instinctively felt: this thing shouldn’t be put here for no reason, it might be used later, so he decided to take this [Lollipop Weapon] to the next room.

However, the fifth room was simply a block throwing tutorial, so he easily passed it.

ƝᴑνǤᴑ.сο

Super Tomato went to great lengths, dragging the lollipop into the sixth room, and then was instantly speechless.

Because in the sixth room, there was another display case and lollipop…

“Isn’t this playing with me…” Super Tomato complained.

Then, he looked at the more important sandbag in the room.

This room was for combat training: “light punch”, “head hammer”, “heavy hit”, “flying kick”, “use weapon”…

All kinds of combat skills were demonstrated on the display screen, which allowed Super Tomato to practice one by one on the sandbag to ensure that he had mastered them completely.

Throughout the whole process, except for getting knocked out once by the sandbag, no surprises occurred.

The seventh room taught [wall climbing]–Super Tomato only found out then that he could have climbed up during the previous “jump” level, but it was a bit difficult, and he hadn’t mastered the knack.

The eighth room taught [rolling] to dodge attacks.

After completing these series of tutorials, Super Tomato finally faced a real battle–in the ninth room, he had an arena fight with a sunglasses-wearing crocodile.

And this battle took a full 10 minutes, and Super Tomato could not complete the task.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t beat the crocodile–the game’s combat mode wasn’t complicated, and even randomly attacking could hit the opponent a few times.

Super Tomato’s biggest opponent was the ropes along the perimeter of the arena!

Every time he finally knocked out the little crocodile and wanted to lift it and throw it out of the arena, he was stopped by the ropes.

Then, before he could adjust his posture, the crocodile would wake up again, struggling to escape his control.

Super Tomato tried again and again, failing each time, and the live-stream room had already turned into a sea of laughter.

Super Tomato really began to question his life: “Is the tutorial level this difficult?

Isn’t this a bit too much?”

When they heard this, the live-streaming room erupted in laughter:

“Hahaha!

Because you play so badly!”

“Difficult?

I don’t find it difficult at all!”

“You need to reflect on yourself more often when things happen, even the kid next door has completed it in seconds!”

The live-streamer community was not fooling Super Tomato, there really were a lot of children who finished the arena fight easily.

Quite a few streamers couldn’t even pass the level themselves, but their nephews, nieces, cousins…

did it first.

Not only did they pass, but they also kept urging their brothers, uncles, aunts, cousins in private chats: “Hurry up!”

Their tones were full of disdain.

After Super Tomato was kicked out of the ring by the crocodile’s flying kick, looking at the messages in the comment section, his first reaction was just one word:

“Huh??”
