CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 120 A Second Blossom! Nine Against One: The Eternal Spear!

The entire beginning of June.

There are two bombshell news items in the CSGO community.

One is the competition that Lu Yiming mentioned, which has a high probability of happening, but it's still unknown when it will be held.

One of them is about the new major operation.

CSGO has only had eight major operations to date.

The eighth of these was the Hydra operation, which took place in May 2017.

It has been two full years since it was held.

However, at the beginning of the month, the day after Lu Yiming announced the competition plan during his live stream, Valve suddenly announced that the ninth major operation would be launched in the middle of the month.

This was several months earlier than Lu Yiming remembered when it was launched.

But it’s not incomprehensible.

His appearance has, to some extent, altered what was going to happen in the future.

This major operation can be brought forward.

This is very likely related to the surge in the player base.

Since the Lucky Treasure Chest was upgraded to LV2, Lu Yiming has lost the willpower to save up enough to draw it all at once.

Basically, I turn them all on as soon as I finish my live stream each day.

Although there was a guaranteed minimum of 10,000 yuan, he was still more looking forward to what different rewards the upgrade would bring him.

For example, the reward items become doubled, or a skill enhancement scroll is guaranteed as a minimum.

The live stream ended that night.

Lu Yiming sat in front of the computer, lost in thought for a few minutes as usual.

Then his face showed an expression.

He sighed, "Oh well, another one wasted."

From the last day of May until now.

He has been opening about ten Level 2 Lucky Treasure Chests every night for fifteen consecutive days.

At this moment, Lu Yiming couldn't help but sigh, "Won't the difficulty of obtaining it also increase with the increase in rewards?"

It's no wonder he thinks that way.

After all, before upgrading to LV1, you could get an item from about 100 boxes, but after upgrading, it takes about 150 boxes to get one.

If we calculate according to this pattern...

Doesn't that mean he might only get one item for every two hundred boxes?
Think of this.

Lu Yiming began to consider whether he should open more boxes every day.

The next afternoon.

Lu Yiming started his live stream.

The moment when viewers flooded into the live stream.

Everyone was scrolling through topics related to the major operation.

The game was updated at 9 a.m. After the major update, various problems arose one after another, such as server crashes and market crashes. Fortunately, these problems were resolved before Lu Yiming went live.

Looking at the comments and complaints from viewers in the live chat.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh smugly, "Looks like my luck is really good!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming started the game.

Then you will enter the major operation interface.

This major operation has undergone significant changes.

That means it was localized into Chinese as soon as it was released.

This is an epic breakthrough, considering that in the past, major operations would take at least a week to be translated into Chinese.

The advantage of this is that players no longer need to argue about which translation is correct.

Anyway, Valve's usual behavior is that they can't see eye to eye with the players. If they just translate it directly into Chinese, there won't be any more heated arguments between two players over the correct translation of a name. Then, when the official translation finally arrives, they realize that both of them were just clowns.

The details of the event have already been largely revealed.

After a brief tour, Lu Yiming found that it wasn't much different from what he remembered. He immediately looked at the live chat and laughed, "Brothers! This big operation seems pretty good!"

There are quite a few items to obtain in this event.

I won't go into the details of the four characters.

The female agent was so popular that players were already clamoring to buy her even before the event started.

Another thing is the four new boxes.

Lu Yiming opened the Norwegian collection to examine it, and his eyes immediately fell on the hidden-level ornaments in the box.

He immediately laughed and said, "I think this gun is even cooler than the Dragon Lore! I definitely have to get one later!"

AWP Eternal Spear.

After years of Valve's distorted aesthetic, they've finally released a skin that's truly eye-catching.

Upon hearing this, viewers expressed their support in the live chat.

Lu Yiming then looked at them one by one.

They then provided commentary on the screen-quality jewelry items in each of the boxes.

Even the accessories from the large operation box received high praise from Lu Yiming.

After all, the quality is really good.

The third item I saw was a collection of maps of Saint Mark's town.

When Lu Yiming saw the AK skin, the comments section was filled with people saying it was ugly.

"Is it ugly? Not really, I think it's quite festive!"

Lu Yiming's words made his viewers start to question his taste.

If the Norwegian collection was a pleasant surprise for viewers, then this St. Mark's collection was one that left them utterly disgusted.

Finally, we saw the canal city's collection.

The stealth version is also an AWP.

This major operation resulted in the release of three AWP skins.

This is one of the few times Valve has been so prolific.

Yesterday, Lu Yiming promised his fans that he would release all the accessories for this major operation, except for the gold items.

After seeing what items can be obtained from the four boxes.

Lu Yiming immediately started spending money on in-game purchases.

Purchasing these items requires stars, which can be obtained by completing tasks or by spending real money.

The price of 100 stars is equivalent to 563 yuan, but after the discount, it only costs 316 yuan.

Players can obtain balances at a discount of 20% or 25% by contacting the balance merchant.

However, neither Lu Yiming's identity as a streamer nor his large inventory allowed him to be greedy for cheap deals.

soon.

After purchasing forty-three sets.

The game indicated that he had reached his spending limit.

Updated at the beginning of the year.

There are spending limits in CSGO.

It's two thousand dollars a day.

There were restrictions before, but not this low.

After seeing that most of the comments were complaining about Valve's inability to make money.

Lu Yiming said softly, "Actually, this mechanism is quite good! It limits the amount of money you can lose in a day, giving you enough time to calm down."

You can see Lu Yiming finish speaking.

It quickly gained the approval of some viewers.

There's a reason why CSGO is called "Unboxing GO".

Many people have lost their lives and fortunes in this game.

This situation was taken into consideration.

Lu Yiming has requirements for players who log in and open chests every day.

The moderator in charge of answering the call will send a disclaimer. Only if the user confirms that they have read the disclaimer will the moderator accept the call for them.

at this time.

Lu Yiming asked the viewers what they wanted to start with.

The comments section showed that most people wanted to see him open the canal city collection and the Norwegian collection.

Very few people mention the Saint Marks collection and the Rift Web operation case.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Then I'll open these two on my account today! With over four thousand stars, I can open them more than two thousand times. I should have a chance to get one item from each, right? When I run out of stars on my account, I'll ask a few friends' accounts to help me open the Saint Mark Town and Shattered Web Operation crates!"

Today's live stream will cover this major operation.

There are three collectibles and one weapon crate, each costing two stars to exchange for. The collectibles are essentially opened immediately after you exchange them.

The Mandate of Heaven was not used.

Lu Yiming relied on his passive lucky aura LV1.

They acquired the Eternal Spear and the Prince at the cost of three thousand stars.

The former is well-preserved and has been manufactured for a long time, while the latter is badly damaged.

The wear and tear looks very realistic.

[It seems pretty easy to get! Only 1500 stars per run!]

[How did you arrive at such an easy conclusion?! Three thousand stars are almost ten thousand yuan, even with a discount, the remaining balance is still eight thousand. Whether these two pieces of jewelry are worth eight thousand is another matter!]

[Indeed! Everyone agrees that Mr. Lu is lucky; it's not certain if it were me driving!]

[I'm not going to open it anyway. It's much more cost-effective to just wait and buy. Even with Mr. Lu's luck, it costs 1500. If I open it myself, I probably won't even be able to get the hidden item without 2000 stars.]

【.】

Two items will be produced from three thousand stars.

Based on the published shipping probability, it is likely to be a European shipment.

After all, like the Dragon Lore, it only has a 0.03% probability.

At this time, Lu Yiming was undergoing a process of elimination and contract exchange.

Craft ten pieces of jewelry of the same grade into one piece of jewelry of a higher grade.

The maximum number of items that can be stored in the inventory is one thousand. Any excess items should be stored in additional inventory components purchased separately.

This kind of storage and retrieval is a huge waste of time.

If the network is poor, it takes about one second to add one item, which means it would take more than 20 minutes to store 1,000 items in the inventory.

Compared to depositing it.

If you have fast reflexes and don't care about losing money.

Replacing contracts with replacements is much faster.

As for why we shouldn't worry about losing money.

The reason is that this chaotic alchemy process involving various types of wear and tear makes the only possible outcome a loss.

However, Lu Yiming was not idle either.

He was multitasking, doing alchemy while interacting with the live chat.

This is quite similar to the part where Brother Bao organizes his inventory during his live stream.

At this point, some viewers suggested he try alchemy.

After all, in the Norwegian's collection, besides the Eternal Spear, he also got a Thor's Hammer that was almost brand new.

If we use the elimination-for-contract strategy to achieve a nine-against-one outcome.

There is a chance to obtain a brand new Eternal Spear.

Lu Yiming's eyes lit up when he saw the comments.

He immediately said, "The Alchemical Eternal Mark Spear, right? That's a good suggestion! Wait! Let me see if I can gather nine brand-new Class Confidential accessories!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming pulled the inventory to the bottom.

He revealed his inventory of over a hundred components.

This caused many new viewers to gasp in surprise.

This also made Lu Yiming's old fans extremely happy.

They're already planning to build a platform.

The purpose of hoarding jewelry is not to resell it. With prices so low now, if he doesn't buy now, his operating costs will increase when prices rise later.

Therefore, he frantically collected more jewelry during this period.

More than half of these one hundred components are already installed.

However, most of them were just boxes and the like.

The ornaments in the mound only make up five of the components.

But this is already quite exaggerated.

Even if the average price of 5,000 pieces of jewelry is only 1,000, that's still more than 5 million worth of jewelry. Not to mention that Lu Yiming's hoard is mostly high-end stuff.

soon.

He found nine classified items among the components he had previously unpacked.

All are brand new.

Moreover, some of them are designed to minimize wear and tear.

After he placed the nine pieces of jewelry together with Thor's hammer.

The viewers started complaining.

[Holy crap! Isn't this a complete mess? Let me see! Life hanging by a thread, glove weapon case, Counter-Strike weapon case—wow! They've managed to come up with five different outcomes, right?!]

This is a complete loss! Mr. Lu, you'd better not refine it!

[The highest probability you can control is probably 10%, right? Mr. Lu, your probability is only around 6%.]

It seems Mr. Lu doesn't know alchemy~

【.】

The CSGO elimination contract is known among players as "alchemy".

There are many intricacies involved.

For example, the choice of auxiliary materials.

This can increase the probability of shipment to some extent.

Simply put, it controls the number of superior items. Ordinary crates have two restricted superior items, but for crates like the Counter-Strike weapon crate, the only restricted superior item is the lightning strike.

With nine classified items from the Counter-Strike weapon crates plus one Thor's Hammer, the probability of obtaining the Eternal Spear reaches ten percent.

At the same time, the wear rate of the alchemical results can be controlled to the point of being brand new by increasing the wear rate of auxiliary materials.

Simply put, ten slightly refined items will always result in slightly refined items, but one slightly refined item and nine brand new items can upgrade an alchemical product to brand new quality. For example, Lu Yiming's batch of main materials was slightly refined, but after using nine brand new jewelry items for alchemy, he could produce a brand new Eternal Spear.
It is even possible to calculate the wear rate and control the wear rate of alchemical products to achieve the desired value.

However, this batch of pottery from Lu Yiming...

It simply means bringing the slightly ground main material to the level of brand new.

Nine miscellaneous auxiliary materials lowered the probability of shipment.

The viewers believed that the furnace was bound to explode.

Faced with a barrage of complaints and criticisms in the live chat.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "It doesn't matter! As long as it works! Whether the probability is 10% or 6%, the result is only a matter of whether it happens or not for me!"

There's nothing wrong with that.

However, a small group of viewers enjoys nitpicking the most.

Especially for Lu Yiming, a CSGO streamer, such a basic mistake is intolerable in their eyes.

Lu Yiming didn't bother with it.

Open the data panel and look at the backpack.

He hadn't used the European Emperor's Potion for a long time, mainly because each bottle was one less available, and he was even more reluctant to use the last few bottles.

I drew another set earlier.

It allows him to use it without any burden.

Drink a whole bottle and you'll get the luckiest person's body.

The duration is one hour.

Lu Yiming took out some suitable auxiliary materials from the inventory.

Looking at the camera, he smiled and said, "Let's leave Eternity for the last batch. Let's refine a few batches first to practice."

The words fell.

Lu Yiming placed ten restricted-level ornaments inside.

These are the ornaments from the three anti-terrorism weapon cases and the seven life-or-death weapon cases.

Soon, viewers posted the probabilities in the live chat.

The probability of getting a Quenched AK is 11.11%, the Desert Eagle Bewitching Color should have the same probability, and the remaining probability is divided equally among the three classified items that are hanging by a thread.

The cost of this batch is over six hundred.

The only way to recoup your losses is by releasing a tempered AK.

At this point, many viewers were once again disappointed by Lu Yiming's haphazard approach, or rather, they wouldn't be happy if Lu Yiming didn't do things the way they wanted.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming ignored it and clicked "Confirm Elimination" directly.

With a whooshing sound.

The results of the alchemy were presented directly to everyone.

Lu Yiming looked at the AK that appeared on the screen and said with a smile, "Hahaha! The tempered AK is taken! Where are those people who said it was unreasonable? Keep talking! I'm asking you if there's anything wrong with the result!"

After he finished speaking, he went into the inventory.

It looks brand new from the factory.

Then his face beamed with even greater satisfaction.

[It's just a regular hardened weapon! It's fine if it drops! It doesn't prove you're right! Maybe it could have been a T1 weapon, but your messy build resulted in only a regular hardened one!]

【Yeah yeah!】

[Hahaha! What a load of rubbish! Does President Lu need a tiny bit more luck? He's already a lucky charm, okay!]

[Don't be sad it's not T1~ Why don't you just say it's a pity it's not 661!]

I'm so annoyed by people like you who pontificate about everything. Just shut up!

【.】

There is no problem in pointing out Lu Yiming's mistake.

But it's problematic to keep bringing up this one mistake.

This has caused dissatisfaction among many viewers.

At this point, those who were being attacked by the group fell silent.

They prepared to wait for Lu Yiming to explode in the furnace before launching a coordinated attack.

The tempered AK has four levels, from T1 to T4.

T4 is the lowest value, and is what viewers in the live chat call "ordinary quenching".

However, even with ordinary quenching.

Its value is over eight hundred yuan.

This resulted in a small profit of two hundred compared to the alchemy outcome.

Lu Yiming then refined three more furnaces of gold.

Both were three against seven and four against six.

All of them obtained the target items.

Make sense.

Lu Yiming truly couldn't fathom the upper limit of the "European Emperor" potion.

With four furnaces succeeding in succession, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was just like celebrating the Chinese New Year.

Lu Yiming laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good! It seems our luck is quite good today! Let's forge the Eternal Spear directly!"

After saying that, he immediately put the ten pieces of jewelry he had prepared into the replacement contract.

Without any hesitation, I clicked "eliminate and replace".

Just as the viewers were eagerly awaiting the results...

The appearance of a command console caused them to have a mental breakdown.

This kind of action is as frustrating as an author cutting off a chapter.

But just as they were about to type in the comments to denounce Lu Yiming...

At this moment, as if he had foreseen what was about to happen, Lu Yiming grinned and directly removed the obstruction of the command console.

When the blue Eternal Spear appears in the scene.

The barrage exploded completely.

Holy crap! This actually works? There's only a 6% chance, right?

【666*10086】

Holy crap! This should be brand new, right? The world's first brand new Eternal has just been released like this?!

[Awesome! Mr. Lu is awesome! You managed to win against a nine-on-one opponent! Are you perhaps the legendary alchemist?]

[What the hell?! This alchemy master is amazing! Four consecutive times without an explosion—that's incredible luck!]

[Could it be because of the previous "padding" (using a weapon as a stepping stone)? President Lu must have crafted over a thousand pieces of jewelry before, right?]

[No wonder he's known as Valve's darling! CEO Lu is awesome! —Voice cracks!]

【.】

The effect of nine against one was successful.

It's no less effective than getting gold from a box.

The live stream was incredibly entertaining at this moment.

Those who previously criticized Lu Yiming have completely disappeared.

When Lu Yiming saw someone say that he was the world's number one eternal being, he immediately opened a webpage to search for it.

soon.

The world wear rankings for Eternal Spear have been released.

From 6 a.m. until now, around 4 p.m., four brand-new Eternal Mark Spears have been produced.

And he deliberately controlled the wear range of the auxiliary materials.

The wear rate reached 0.01%.
It is the Eternal Spear, currently ranked number one in the world in terms of wear and tear!
Looking at the viewers who had already started celebrating in the live chat.

Lu Yiming grinned and said, "Brothers! Are you satisfied with this? I have a bold plan!"

This statement left the viewers somewhat confused.

Then Lu Yiming logged out of the game and switched accounts.

This was the account he had previously abandoned. He had bought a balance on this account and was worried that hoarding too much would trigger a commercial red notice. After logging in, he went straight to the market to search for Thor's Hammer.

Because today is the first day of the event.

The prices of the jewelry are quite outrageous.

The lowest price for a brand new Thor's Hammer is over four thousand yuan.

This is because it was already 4 p.m.

This morning, a Thor's Hammer sold for a staggering 14,000.

It's safe to say that CSGO has no shortage of wealthy players.

There were only a dozen or so brand-new Thor's Hammers on the market, and Lu Yiming bought one of them with the least wear and tear.

The price is one yuan short of ten thousand.

By this time, some people had already figured out what Lu Yiming was planning to do.

His expression immediately became excited.

soon.

After buying Thor's Hammer, Lu Yiming searched for the two classified items, Death and the Lake Monster, which were hanging by a thread.

These two pieces of jewelry, brand new, have a market price of around twenty yuan.

However, he managed to buy nine pieces with extremely low wear and tear at an average price of just over two hundred.

They are usually five or six zeros after the decimal point.

At this time.

Basically, 80% of his viewers know what he's planning to do.

The entire process lasted less than ten minutes.

The advantage of buying from the market is that the goods will go directly into inventory.

Lu Yiming had already guessed what he was thinking after seeing the comments.

He immediately laughed and said, "That's right! That's exactly what I'm thinking! I'll take advantage of my good luck and challenge my limits. As long as I can get the Eternal Spear, it will be hard for anyone to surpass my world ranking in a short time!"

After saying that, he put the ten pieces of jewelry that had arrived from his inventory into the replacement contract.

The cost of this alchemy was as high as 12,000.

Many viewers couldn't help but swallow hard.

In his heart, he thought Lu Yiming was incredibly bold.

But after the initial shock came the excitement.

What they want is to see this kind of live stream effect.

Lu Yiming then showed the wear and tear rate of each of the ten ornaments.

The wear rate is highest for Thor's hammer, but it still has four zeros after the decimal point. In addition, the auxiliary materials generally have five zeros or more, with the most extreme one reaching six zeros.

This means that the lowest possible result will be an item with five zeros after the decimal point.

If this could truly forge an eternal spear.

It's estimated that few people will have a chance to surpass Lu Yiming.

at this time.

Lu Yiming began adjusting the position of the command console. He usually did this to remind his viewers that he would be performing this operation later, unlike before when there was no prompting him to appear on his own.

This way, the viewers will be more accepting of it.

soon.

Lu Yiming didn't waste any more time.

He winked at the camera.

He pressed confirm and shouted, "The Eternal Spear!!! Get it!!!"

With a whoosh.

The result is in.

Meanwhile, the command console had already obscured the result.

At this point, viewers were frantically urging them on in the live chat.

Lu Yiming grinned confidently and said, "Don't panic! Let's take a look at the gun barrel first!"

This alchemy only has three possible outcomes.

These are two hidden-level accessories and the Eternal Spear, which are on the verge of death.

Losing an item that's on the verge of failure is a huge loss.

The barrels of these two accessories are shorter than those of the AWP.

Therefore, by adjusting the width of the console, the mystery can be slowly revealed.

The process of uncovering the mystery is quite agonizing for the viewers.

But the joy that erupts at the moment of shipment is also doubled.

soon.

The moment Lu Yiming saw the gun barrel, he immediately canceled the command console.

The familiar gun body.

Although it was a second time.

But everyone knew that this Eternal Spear was far superior to the previous one.

this moment.

The viewers in the live stream went crazy!

Or perhaps it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it madness!
Two in a row make nine against one!

The probability is no less than getting a Dragon Sniper in ten boxes!
At this moment, Lu Yiming also raised his fist and shouted loudly, "Nine against one target, the Eternal Spear! Take it down!! Hahaha~"

Lu Yiming's laughter.

Add to that the exclamations from viewers in the live chat.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the live stream room reached its climax.

Although the fans won't get a single penny from the shipment.

But watching the unboxing is essentially about putting yourself in Lu Yiming's shoes and getting a sense of relief from stress the moment the goods are shipped.

In a sense, it can be said that...

For his viewers, Lu Yiming's live streams are like watching a stress-relieving video.

This is the second time.

They were really thrilled!
There are a lot of illustrations this time, I don't know if you can handle it.

If you can't accept this, I won't put it here next time.
