NFBE Chapter 61: "Three Kingdoms Kill" or "Hero Kill"...
Chapter 61: "Three Kingdoms Kill" or "Hero Kill"...
While some were happy, others were sad; the scene in Jiu Shen's live stream was completely different.
Having just finished the semi-finals, Jiu Shen successfully secured first place in the standings.
"Guys, the streamer has successfully advanced to the top eight! The grand finals are just a few days away!"
Jiu Shen was very satisfied with his performance, because he was now the only streamer left in "Hero Kill".
Many players of "Hero Kill" came to support him, and some players of "Three Kingdoms Kill" followed him because of his several highlight plays.
The number of viewers in the live stream has increased from 3 at the beginning to over 7 now!
You made the right choice by participating in this competition!
[Streamer, you absolutely have to win the championship! Give our game, *Hero Kill*, some glory!]
[I didn't expect these other "Hero Kill" streamers to be so bad; some of them couldn't even get past the preliminary rounds!]
To be frank, I feel that "Three Kingdoms Kill" is more fun. Its special effects and voice acting are much better than "Hero Kill," which is entirely in foreign languages!
[Heroes of Might and Magic also has Chinese language support, you can just switch the language mode!]
[I've switched to other games, but the experience wasn't quite the same. The ancient dialogue in "Three Kingdoms Kill" is quite impressive, but books on the Three Kingdoms theme are too obscure. Otherwise, I would have read those!]
【No! You're a shill, can you please get out of the live stream?!】
[Can't we even speak the truth? You're just a Tencent sycophant! We gamers just play whatever games are fun!]
[Get out! You lackeys and undercover agents of "Three Kingdoms Kill"!]
Actually, it's not just the comments that say this; Jiu Shen himself has also played both "Three Kingdoms Kill" and "Hero Kill," even though the gameplay of the two is almost identical.
But in terms of character design and voice acting, "Three Kingdoms Kill" is more appealing.
After all, everyone is already familiar with superheroes, but each general in the Three Kingdoms gave him a different feeling, as if he had opened up a new world.
Perhaps... this is the gene of the Da Xia people?
"Brothers, that's all for now! We'll definitely get a great result in the finals in a few days, and all the prizes will be given away during the live stream. That's all for today's stream, bye-bye!"
After a night of competition, Jiu Shen was also feeling a bit tired. After saying goodbye to his fans, he planned to take a shower and get some rest.
But just as he got up, a phone call came in, and the caller was none other than Wang Lin from Tencent.
I saved his contact information after our last contact.
Jiu Shen dared not hesitate; this was his sugar daddy!
"Hey Mr. Wang! What's up so late?"
"Hahaha, it's nothing. I just wanted to congratulate you on making it to the finals!" Wang Lin's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Wang. It's such a small matter that I'm sorry to bother you."
"Hey, how can this be a small matter? You're the only player to make it to the finals in 'Hero Kill'! That alone is something to celebrate!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment, Mr. Wang! I will definitely continue to work hard and strive to win the championship!"
"Not bad! Not bad! Young people should have this kind of spirit." Wang Lin stroked his chin. "If you win the championship, will you become the spokesperson for 'Three Kingdoms Kill'?"
When Jiu Shen heard this, he finally realized what Wang Lin's real purpose was in asking him to come over today.
They weren't there to celebrate his advancement to the finals; they were just worried that if he won, he would become the spokesperson for "Three Kingdoms Kill".
Indeed, this is a proposal that would be hard for anyone to refuse.
The popularity that an official game spokesperson can bring is unimaginable; perhaps I can even become a streamer like Ran Xiaona.
In the past few days, he has noticed that his popularity has also increased since participating in the "Three Kingdoms Kill" streamer competition, with the number of online viewers now exceeding 100,000 from tens of thousands!
If he could really become the spokesperson, the buzz he would generate would be even greater!
He didn't really care whether it was "Hero Kill" or "Three Kingdoms Kill"; as long as it could bring him popularity, any game would do.
He is not like Wang Lin or Lin Lang, who are irreconcilable enemies!
Jiu Shen's silence revealed his thoughts to Wang Lin. Indeed, for these streamers, what games they stream depended entirely on their popularity and how much money they could make.
"I know what you're worried about. If you can really achieve a top-three finish, Hero Kill will not treat you unfairly. You will also be our spokesperson for Hero Kill."
Think about it, most of your audience right now are still fans of "Hero Kill". Don't rush, think about it first.
Wang Lin hung up the phone after speaking. The reason for calling him at this time was that he was currently the only "Hero Kill" player to advance to the finals.
Although we haven't managed to get into the top three yet, we still need to take precautions.
If we actually win the championship or achieve a top-three finish, then we'll discuss the specific plan with him then!
There's no way we can let a "Hero Kill" streamer turn against us. That would not only be a disgrace to "Hero Kill," but also a bad influence on Tencent's reputation.
After receiving the call, Hisahi did indeed waver a bit, but he was determined to strive for the championship.
But should the spokesperson be for "Three Kingdoms Kill" or "Hero Kill"...?
After several days of competition, the top eight rankings have been determined.
The top three finishers in the offline competition were Ran Xiaona, Jiu Shen, and...
As expected, the three Zz1tai brothers also successfully advanced in the revival round voting!
Taizi Live Room.
"Hahaha, I told you 8-player mode isn't my forte! I'm the best at nation wars!"
The player showed off his skills in front of the camera. Since it was an entertainment match, there were only two games in the national war.
Unexpectedly, he won all his matches today. In one game, he played against Empress He and Yuan Shao, and in another game, he played against Zhang Fei and Wei Yan, which allowed him to pull off some amazing 1v3 plays.
"Hey, Old Ma! Why are you suddenly quiet after a chat? What's wrong? Are you jealous that I pulled off such a brilliant play? Hahahaha!"
The three of them participated in an entertainment match together, but Zitai won two games. Now he's going to teach Eggplant a lesson for his smugness.
"Master Tai is really something..."
"Don't call me Old Ma anymore, just call me Little Ma, Master Tai..."
Before the competition began, they made a bet. This bet was different from the last one; they had to livestream in cosplay costumes for a week.
But no matter how much I planned, I never expected that Zita would win again!
The two even suspected that if they made a bet with Zita in the semifinals, this kid could win the championship!
The chat was stunned by these two games. How could someone who played so poorly just a few days ago produce such amazing plays?
[Hey, Zz1tai, you were so good in the exhibition matches, what were you thinking before?]
[You didn't play well in the main tournament, but you really went all out in the fun matches!]
Why didn't you expose Jia Xu's "Enjoying life in Shu and forgetting everything" this time?
I can understand being bad at a game, but I can't accept being good one moment and bad the next!
[How are you going to return my gift?! Damn it!]
[Brothers, report this guy! He's rigging the match, seriously?! Other streamers rig matches to win, but this guy's rigging to lose!]
[To be honest, I also blame Qiezi and Lao Ma. If those two had made another bet with Zitai in the semifinals, they might have made it to the finals!]
[Hahaha, so you can't lose if you have a bet!]
[That's fine too, didn't they say the top four in the entertainment competition would also receive prizes?]
The comments section was full of haters, saying that the way he played the game was really strange!
"Brothers, don't worry, the rewards for first place in the national war are also very generous: 1000 sets of brand-new general expansion packs and 500 sets of exquisite Three Kingdoms figurines!"
"When the new version goes live, I'll personally release another 1000 general expansion packs!"
Zita also made a promise to his fans. In fact, he couldn't quite explain why he performed terribly in the main competition but was amazing in the exhibition match.
Perhaps... this is the power of a bet?
"And there's more good news! Tomorrow I'll be heading to Langyu Studio to be a guest commentator in their main live stream!" Zita proudly showed everyone the invitation.
Just a few days ago, when Zita was eliminated in the semifinals, he received an invitation from the official "Three Kingdoms Kill" game right after he finished his stream.
We cordially invite you to our offline Langyu Studio to serve as a special guest commentator for the grand finals!
His eyes lit up, and his previously gloomy mood vanished!
Finally, I can make up for the regret of last time. I can't miss it this time no matter what!
Thank you to Langyu Studio for your trust!
Even if I can't become the spokesperson for "Three Kingdoms Kill", it's still good to show my face in the main live stream!
Moreover, being able to see Su Keke offline makes me very curious about what Lin Lang's perspective was like back then!
The comments section erupted with discussion after seeing this screenshot.
【No way! Even a noob can be a commentator?! Can you even understand their moves?!】
[President Lin is confused! Why did you go over there to be the commentator?!]
[I heard that "Three Kingdoms Kill" is getting a new mode. Could the streamer find out what new generals and mode will be released?]
[Wow, that's impressive! The new mode is in the exhibition match tonight; you can ask around about the new general!]
[So, does that mean you can see Su Keke up close?! Could you take some photos of her in black stockings and send them to the audience?]
[Aha! That makes sense now, Erzi! The brothers are entrusting you with this task; you can't fail to complete it!]
[If possible, please also include a few pictures of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao!]
[And President Lin, I'm absolutely in love with his looks!]
The chat was initially filled with discussions about how this noob could become a commentator, or about what the new version of "Three Kingdoms Kill" would include.
But when a viewer posted a picture of black stockings, the entire tone of the chat changed.
They've all become old perverts!
But how could Zita not have thought of the ideas in the comments? Now he has a perfect reason to take a picture, just say it was requested by the fans!
Surely... Su Keke won't refuse!
"Alright, guys, just wait and see how the streamer performs! It's just a black stocking photo, no big deal!"
[That's more like it; if you say that, you're just a bunch of idiots!]
[Take lots of photos, so the live stream of the giveaway will be packed with viewers!]
