CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 142: Platform Launched! Seeking Cooperation!
Regarding the doubts raised online.

Lu Yiming didn't care.

To put it bluntly, this questioning was also part of his plan.

After all, without questioning, there would be no buzz.

The more arrogant he becomes, the more criticism he faces online, and the more traffic he brings to the platform.

He desperately wants everyone to come to his live stream to question him.

After reading enough books.

Lu Yiming gradually realized how easy it was to manipulate public opinion.

To put it bluntly, it's just about taking advantage of information asymmetry.

It is generally accepted that FPS games cannot completely prevent cheating. His high-profile announcement that his platform is cheat-free, without providing convincing evidence, naturally drew skepticism from netizens who believe that FPS games cannot be completely cheat-free.

Over the previous weekend, 1,000 beta testers were selected through the two-day live stream.

The closed beta test is scheduled to begin at noon on August 2nd.

As always, she displayed her confidence when she started broadcasting that day.

During the unpacking process.

Lu Yiming glanced at the comments section when he had a spare moment.

He then said with great surprise, "What? Someone's selling beta test qualifications at the seafood market? Really? Are they expensive?"

Lu Yiming's reaction was quite interesting.

Surprisingly, my first reaction wasn't discomfort.

Instead, they were quite pleased.

soon.

Lu Yiming found the seller on a seafood platform.

It's the same as the closed beta testing of any other game.

Lu Yiming also plans to wait until the 2nd to send out the download link for the installation package and the accompanying invitation code.

At this time, the price listed by the seller was 9999 yuan.

They indicated that they could select the price they wanted.

[Hilarious! Highest bidder wins. How much can this even sell for? CEO Lu already said it'll be released for public testing sooner or later.]

That's not necessarily true! Some games sell beta test access for thousands of dollars!

Wow~ I have to say, this guy's pretty smart! If I could get a beta test qualification for a few hundred yuan, I think I'd buy it!

[Wow, rich guy upstairs! But it's not necessarily the players who will buy it. I think some people would definitely be willing to pay a high price for this beta test qualification!]

[Haha! Just tell me your name! I'll start! Perfect!]

【.】

The perfect movement was incredibly swift.

It can be said that this happened the day after Lu Yiming announced the internal testing news.

They announced that their platform would be undergoing early internal testing.

Unfortunately, it happened to coincide with the same day as Lu Yiming's platform.

At this moment, Lu Yiming looked as if he was seriously thinking about something.

He then grinned mischievously and said, "Brothers! What do you guys think about me selling this beta test qualification myself?"

Upon hearing this, the viewers were taken aback.

They were all taken aback by Lu Yiming's words.

Selling beta test qualifications yourself is quite something.

The skeptics seized this opportunity and began a frenzied attack on Lu Yiming.

But then Lu Yiming continued with a laugh, "Look! If someone is selling, it means there's a market! It's no fun if others make money off me, and the buyers are all CSGO players. If they get scammed, I'll feel bad too! Why don't I just sell it myself? I'll donate all the money I get! What do you guys think?"

A platform is not a game, after all.

The internal testing was only for testing the operation of some mechanisms.

Most of the bugs were fixed during the closed beta test.

The main goal is to see what the players' feedback is like, and then make appropriate adjustments to some details based on that feedback.

Yesterday, Jiang Yuanming suggested expanding the number of beta test participants, which Lu Yiming was planning to announce as a surprise later.

Unexpectedly, this kind of thing happened.

These words caught the attention of the viewers.

Regardless of which of the three factions, everyone wants to be among the first to experience Lu Yiming's platform.

Then they agreed to Lu Yiming's suggestion.

They immediately began discussing the price issue.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but laugh when he saw his viewers seriously discussing the price.

He then waved his hand and said, "Stop talking! I'll give you a number! Nine yuan and ninety cents! Plus two thousand more slots! It will be available in my live-streaming room at noon on the 2nd!"

Upon hearing this, netizens exclaimed that President Lu was very generous.

The price of 9.9 yuan may not be considered reasonable, but it is still affordable for the vast majority of people.

Sometimes players can be quite interesting.

If you were to sell beta test access for money, even for just one dollar, players would be furious. But Lu Yiming's approach is different. Even if the price were higher, no one would say there's anything wrong with his actions.

However, some viewers were still dissatisfied.

This indicates that two thousand qualifications are too few.

The news broke that very day.

This further fueled the hype.

Lu Yiming's confidence these past few days, coupled with this move to expand the number of beta testers, has made many of his initial skeptics begin to doubt.

Say something.

It's gotten to this point.

If this proves Lu Yiming wrong, he'll probably quit the internet.

Yet he still dared to do it despite such a huge risk.

It's impossible without a bit of self-confidence.

In the past few days, Lu Yiming has also received many calls from friends asking for his qualifications.

For example, eggplant and others.

Even a girl I just met, Liu Liu 66, messaged me asking if I could have two.

Lu Yiming accepted all offers without hesitation.

I'm quite curious why Nvliu66 has two.

The subsequent news was that Lu Yiming should begin to mourn for her fans.
The date was August 2nd.

There was nothing special about this day.

However, the period leading up to noon that day was quite agonizing for some CS:GO players.

Wang Jiming.

Head of Perfect World gaming platform.

He was talking to the technicians at that moment.

Before Lu Yiming announced the release of the second wave of beta test qualifications.

He had already reserved three beta test qualifications at an extremely high price.

The plan is to conduct "tests" of varying degrees in three groups.

The time came to twelve o'clock.

The buyer he was dealing with sent him the download link, compression code, and beta code.

The technicians were immediately instructed to begin the operation.

He himself has a technical background.

He frowned when he saw the file download.

Normally.

A platform size of around 100 MB is already quite large, but the installation package for the Fanxing All-People Esports Platform is over 10 GB.

This made him frown and mutter, "Did they put all the games in there?"

at this time.

Many people in the live chat were asking this question when Lu Yiming's episode aired ahead of schedule.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Yes! This is to prevent cheating, but we provide a built-in accelerated download function, so please be patient and wait a little longer!"

It's over 10 gigabytes in size.

A 50 Mbps internet connection would take about half an hour.

However, Wang Jiming was using gigabit fiber optic internet, so the download was completed in less than two minutes.

Wang Jiming was very curious about what those ten gigabytes were.

The technicians were immediately instructed to unpack the package.

The so-called unpacking is to decompile the source files and resources in the APK file.

But the technician quickly shook his head and said, "No! We can't disassemble it! The file is hidden!"

Can't be dismantled?
Wang Jiming was taken aback upon hearing this.

Then I started to operate it myself.

But he soon discovered a problem: all files were inaccessible. Unwilling to believe it, he then took more drastic measures, which were already on the verge of being illegal.

But in the end, it had no effect.

At this moment, Wang Jiming couldn't help but exclaim in shock, "He can't even dismantle the platform! How did he do that?"

Compared to FPS games.

Unpacking should be easier on this platform.

If FPS games are like a bound young girl, then the platform is like a bound, sickly girl who has no ability to resist in the hands of an adult.

But let alone a girl whose hands and feet are tied up.

He had no way to deal with the sickly girl who was tied up.

He wasn't the only one who was alarmed.

Of the thousand spots that Lu Yiming used in the first round, at least a hundred fell into the hands of those with ulterior motives, and they were all very curious about how Lu Yiming had managed to do it.

However, there are smart people among them.

Soon, someone discovered that the graphics card and CPU resources were being used up, and found the culprit in the Task Manager.

However, just after they tried to disable it.

As it is banned.

I uninstalled all the files I just downloaded.

at this time.

Lu Yiming laughed in the live stream: "I believe many people should be starting to install it now! After installation, a software called 'Diting' will run automatically, which will consume some of the graphics card and CPU resources. However, this problem will be solved soon. In a non-stop update, it will be changed to only work after the platform is running!"

Lu Yiming's live stream naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Wang Jiming was among them.

Hearing this, he grinned and said, "Goodness! You've pulled this on us, haven't you!"

It is clear.

This was Lu Yiming's way of showing them a warning. They watched as the downloaded files were deleted.

While arranging for the technicians to continue downloading, Wang Jiming went behind another technician and dialed Lu Zhen's number.

"Mr. Lu! This is getting tricky! I need more technical support!"

It's not just him.

Many teams and individuals were disgusted by Lu Yiming's move.

Disgusting as it may be.

He was even more curious about how Lu Yiming had managed to do it.

Compared to them.

Lu Yiming's live stream was much easier.

at this time.

He was beginning to introduce the platform's training functions to his viewers.

Previously, Lu Yiming only saw the word "training," but now it has been changed to "Tactical Guidance Center."

It is divided into two parts: training and assessment.

And it was during the training tests he was conducting.

The reactions from the viewers were also intense.

Holy crap! With this feature, who would still go to the Workshop?!

[Yes! No need to remember commands anymore! Just press the shortcut keys!]

[It can even train map item locations? I used to learn by watching videos!]

[Take off! This feature is amazing! When will the platform be officially released for public testing?! I can't wait!]

[Damn! This is the only feature?! I'd pay 30 yuan a month for a membership!]

[Upstairs! Thirty is probably a bad idea! Three hundred and sixty a year is unbearable!]

Don't buy it! It's a gift from President Lu!

【.】

The training ground feature has received unanimous praise from players.

Lu Yiming had said this before the test began.

This feature is provided to members.

Although some people have some reservations, it is undeniable that Lu Yiming also needs to make money. The most important thing is to see whether the platform is worth their money to pay for a membership.

soon.

After Lu Yiming finished testing this part of the training.

Let's begin this part of the assessment.

At this moment, Lu Yiming opened the assessment and showed all the current service maps, saying, "The map assessment level is currently only at the beginner level. The next three levels of assessment content will appear later. You need to gain experience points in the training function or map games. You can only take the assessment after accumulating enough. For example, the beginner badge in Desert 2 is relatively easy to obtain. Let me demonstrate for you! A total of five tasks will be randomly selected from fifteen tasks. Completing them means passing!"

During the conversation, Lu Yiming had already opened Desert II.

Upon entering the game, the first quest was immediately assigned.

Task 1: Throw a box of one-way smoke bombs at point A! Fire to confirm!

It was after these words appeared on the screen.

Clicking the mouse to fire the gun will instantly kill the game character.

He then respawned directly at bomb site A.

At this moment, Lu Yiming took out a smoke bomb and threw it at the corner of the box.

After the smoke dissipated.

Mission complete. Fire to proceed to the next level.

Lu Yiming then stood in the smoke, opened the scope, and slowly moved forward.

Until A is visible in the field of vision.

He then fired a shot at A and entered the next mission level.

[Holy crap! I've learned something new! You can even hold a gun like that?]

[Holy crap! No wonder I died last time! I didn't know it could happen like that!]

This tactic is quite useful, but it's recommended to use it only when you have teammates defending A main. If you're using a sniper rifle to defend A small alone, you'll definitely die if they come from A main!

【.】

This box of one-way cigarettes is relatively simple.

However, the beginner level only tests some simple things.

Lu Yiming then quickly passed the assessment and obtained the Desert Level 2 entry-level achievement.

That concludes the demonstration.

It's already one o'clock.

The vast majority of test accounts have already logged into the game.

It can be seen that Lu Yiming has 99 people adding him in his friends list.

In the current platform version, obtaining this badge unlocks the ranked ladder.

Lu Yiming immediately started a game and laughed, "Okay! This afternoon I'll play three games. If anyone I match with is a member of my fan club, I'll give them a knife worth a thousand yuan! If they're not a fan club member, I'll give them an accessory worth less than two hundred yuan, okay?"

The words fell.

The boss, in a very generous manner, started spamming the live stream chat.

Meanwhile, many people regretted not being able to secure a spot to experience it.

It was with this sentence that he fell.

Many test players directly attempt to begin the assessment.

There weren't many skeptics during the entire live stream.

They are waiting for the right moment for a full-scale attack.

But it's a pity.

Lu Yiming delivered all twenty-seven pieces of jewelry by 3 p.m.

Instead of waiting for the right opportunity, they witnessed the first "technical" team announcing their withdrawal.

[Unfortunately! After nearly three hours of effort, we failed to breach Diting's defenses. No! We couldn't attack it. To put it bluntly, Diting isn't a traditional anti-cheat device; it's a disgusting opossum! Even worse than an opossum! Just the slightest movement and all files are forcibly wiped! Damn it! I've never been so disgusted!]

This is a statement from a foreign team.

It was also a "professional" team invited by Lu Yiming.

This statement has been censored.

Some words cannot pass censorship in China.

This statement also came about.

Subsequently, many teams responded.

No matter how FPS cheats change, they always involve tampering with the game's source files. However, the cheat you hear prevents you from doing that.

Liu Zhenyun was able to reduce the requirements for use.

The original defense mechanism was changed to a trigger mechanism to resist intrusion. Once there is any action to modify or explore the source files, all files on the platform will be completely deleted from the computer.

Only by updating the game in sync with the official updates can one have the opportunity to modify the source files protected by the Listener.

To put it bluntly, they wanted to tamper with things.

Unless you tamper with the official update content.

Teams and groups have been declaring failure one after another.

This caused a sensation among the entire gaming community.

[Holy crap! Could CEO Lu have really stopped the cheating? I saw that even the most popular cheating group overseas announced their failure to crack it!]

[Awesome! Does that mean other games can do it too? Is this the dawn of a new era for us manual laborers?]

[Shouldn't that be okay? There are a lot of cheaters in CF lately, I suggest Mr. Ma (the game developer) just buy them out!]

When has Jack Ma ever spent money on creativity? He can just do mass replication!

[Don't be so harsh! Tencent has actually been quite supportive of original content lately.]

[To be honest! If President Lu's so-called "Di Ting" (a mythical beast) could be implemented in other games! Let's not even talk about anything else! If it were used in PUBG, it would definitely become incredibly popular again, right? I can't even imagine how fun a "green platform" (a platform with a clean and transparent gaming environment) would be!]

[The game is still bad! The fish is still fried! The removal of cheats doesn't mean the game operators can act like human beings; some games didn't actually fail because of cheats!]

【.】

The discussion began at 3 p.m.

Lu Yiming ended the live stream at 6 PM.

Far from indicating a decrease in popularity.

On the contrary, it has only gotten worse.

at this time.

The player community was extremely excited.

Some game companies are starting to get restless.

Jiang Yuanming's phone was ringing off the hook.

Lu Yiming himself received a phone call from someone claiming to be the person in charge of the Perfect World platform.

"Good evening, Mr. Lu! I am Wang Jiming, the person in charge of the Perfect platform. I got my number from the Shark platform. I apologize for bothering you in this way. I wonder if it is a convenient time for us to talk now, Mr. Lu."

This phone call was both unexpected and understandable.

Hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Okay! Go ahead!"

Wang Jiming glanced at Lu Zhen at this moment.

The defense mechanism of the Listening Beast isn't exactly abnormal, it's just extremely disgusting.

There is still too little time.

It cannot be said that it can completely defend against cheats.

But at least until this defense mechanism issue is resolved, his platform can indeed achieve zero cheating.

This also means that until a solution is found.

The Fanxing All-People Esports Platform can claim to be a green platform.

This resulted in their platform, which launched simultaneously, and several other platforms on the market, completely losing the ability to compete with the Fanxing All-People Esports Platform.

This is the benefit of having core technologies.

Lu Zhen nodded.

After taking a deep breath, Wang Jiming said, "Perfect World wants to invest in Fanxing Esports! The price is our Chinese server operation rights. I wonder if President Lu is interested in jointly developing the domestic CSGO esports industry with us!"

The Perfect World eSports platform was originally designed to serve their future eSports plans.

The platform has lost its market competitiveness.

The Natural Esports Project could not proceed smoothly.

Their only advantage at present is their status as the operator of the Chinese server.

The words fell at that moment.

Both of them were waiting for Lu Yiming to continue.
