LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 352 Live Streaming Screen Protector Application Isn't Necessary
Lin Ruo just watched the Dota 2 matches and that was it. He was simply looking for differences and didn't want anything else.

However, he's not really ready to play anymore. Playing the same kind of game for too long can lead to aesthetic fatigue, especially for a talented player like him.

Without a challenge, one will quickly fall into the desire to play other games. Just like when Lin Ruo reached the top of the Overwatch Chinese server, he significantly reduced his Overwatch matches.

He really hasn't wanted to play much in the last few days.

But that's okay, he can play other things, after all, happiness shouldn't be compromised.

The hottest gaming news in the market these past few days is probably that PUBG Mobile, under the distribution of Tengjing, has finally launched its Chinese version.

However, this is not a PC game, but the latest mobile game in the series.

At the same time, PUBG Mobile: All-Out Attack was also launched. Tengjing knows how to compete, so they released two games directly, promoting whichever game is more popular.

Feeling a bit bored, Lin Ruo took out her phone and, with a loud "TiMi" sound, demonstrated how to play games on her phone in front of the computer.

【Fuck, farmer! 】

The screen was flooded with comments, and Lin Ruo calmly coughed and said, "What do you mean 'farmer'? This is the real deal, a domestically made PUBG game."

Lin Ruo quickly switched from computer live streaming to screen protector live streaming after setting up a stand and aligning it with the camera. As a professional streamer, she needed to have a variety of entertainment options.

Not only can it switch between various games at any time, but it can also switch freely between entertainment and technical broadcasting, and can effectively enrich the live broadcast content by utilizing indoor and outdoor environments at different times and locations.

Now, something even more impressive has emerged: Lin Ruo can also switch between livestream props.

Who says you can only be a computer streamer? You can also do a live stream of screen protector application using your phone.

Of course, playing games on a mobile phone in front of the camera is more comfortable and smoother than playing on a computer.

Even if Lin Ruo was tired of playing Dota, she wouldn't necessarily take out her phone to play PUBG, since there is a PC version of PUBG.

Lin Ruo's sudden desire to play the mobile version of PUBG was not to cater to the recent surge in popularity of mobile battle royale games.

There is only one truth.

Sorry, he's secured another investment. The official Tengjing team invited him yesterday to be the spokesperson for their newly launched battle royale mobile game.

there's no way.

As one of only two men to reach the top of the PUBG Asia server last year, his skill level in PUBG is evident.

The problem is that Lin Ruo has a very high number of viewers and is known as an all-around streamer. She has time to play games even when she's not competing every day.

Is it even necessary to think about who Tengjing should choose as a spokesperson?
Of course not. Even if Tengjing were stupid, he would know to find Lin Ruo as a spokesperson.

Because Lin Ruo's fan base makes up the majority of the gaming community, and he is also the only one who frequently plays the games he endorses after becoming a spokesperson.

If it were any other celebrity with a larger fan base, who could sit in front of a live stream screen for eight hours a day to promote your PUBG mobile game?
Undoubtedly, Tengjing saw this as a sure-fire deal, and it would also indirectly reduce Lin Ruo's playing time in their competitive game, Dota 2.

Why not?

Lin Ruo was naturally happy to agree. As long as the money was good, he would not only endorse the game, but he would also play in the King of Glory league tomorrow.

The main focus is on providing excellent service.

The day after signing the contract, Lin Ruo began her mobile game trial journey. It wasn't that playing PUBG on PC was more fun, but rather that playing PUBG on mobile was more cost-effective.

Meanwhile, at the 4AM eSports Club base in Baoshan District, Shanghai, Wei Shen was training day and night in ranked matches on the Asian server of PUBG.

As Douyu's current top PUBG streamer, his popularity is increasing day by day.

After finishing a game, Wei Shen habitually glanced at the barrage of messages, and what he saw completely drove him into a frenzy.

[Lin Gou is playing PUBG, go find him for a duo match.]

[Wei Zhen, your dad's here! Quick, ask him to help you rank up; it's time for some entertainment again.]

[The two legendary players are reporting in! Everyone stand up, stop dawdling, and get ready for takeoff!]

[Step forward, Wei Xiaodao, the King of Chicken Dinner in Sanya!]

"Lin Ruo is playing PUBG?" Wei Shen stared at the message in the live chat for a long time, unable to believe it.

Who knows how long it's been since Lin Ruo became obsessed with Go at last year's World Championship and the two of them haven't played PUBG together.

In other words, who knows how long Lin Ruo hasn't logged into PUBG since the beginning of this year?

Even if someone logs in, they only play one or two games before logging off, so there's no possibility of duo queueing.

But today, he finally came back.

Wei Shen felt a fire burning inside him; his dream of becoming a world champion had been rekindled.

So he quickly prepared to contact his good brother through the friends list to continue their friendship, but Wei Shen realized that Lin Ruo was not online.

What the heck? Did you change your ID or create a new account?

Puzzled, Wei Shen glanced at the live chat again. The comments were so numerous that it was impossible for them to be lying to him. After all, what kind of lie could make most of the viewers in the live stream agree?

After thinking for a moment, Wei Shen took out his phone and quickly made a WeChat call to Lin Ruo, only to be immediately hung up on.

Lin Ruo, who was still shooting people around in the game with a shotgun, quickly manipulated her character to find cover as if she needed to pee, so that she could open WeChat to reply to messages.

Wei Shen's recent phone call almost ended his gaming career; there's just how fragile mobile gaming is.

Wei Shen was still wondering when Lin Ruo started sending voice messages. Didn't he always prefer text messages, especially in traditional Chinese characters, to torture his chat partners?

Confused, he listened carefully to what was being said, which consisted only of intermittent blame, but conveyed only one meaning.

You almost killed me, you know that?
"No, is he that fragile? He can usually run three or four games at the same time, and I almost killed him just by making a phone call?"

Wei Shen spread his hands, not understanding. He just felt that the relationship had faded, and even his good brothers dared to yell at him. It wasn't until he opened Zhanqi and clicked into the 4396 live stream room that he realized what was going on.

The wise Wei Shen then realized that the story of him being killed was not unfounded at all.

"Is he streaming PUBG on his phone?" Wei Shen was almost speechless with astonishment.

Sure enough, there's nothing Lin Ruo can't do; she even did a live stream of applying a screen protector.

Dude, do you have to be so professional?

What are your next plans? Can you tell me first so I can be shocked...?

"Wei Zhen, what's wrong?" After running out of bullets, Lin Ruo sent a voice message to Wei Shen, who hadn't replied to her messages for a long time.

Wei Shen, who was in the Douyu live stream, thought for a moment and calmly replied, "It's okay, I'm just testing if you're still alive."

He originally wanted to duo queue with Lin Ruo, but damn it, she was playing the PC version of PUBG. How was he supposed to duo queue with her? Just sit there holding his phone and try to rank up? Seriously, can you even compare the mobile and PC versions of PUBG? That's absolutely impossible.

Unless Wei Shen switches to mobile battle royale games now to lay the groundwork for future leagues.

In the EDG training room.

Lin Ruo had no idea that Wei Zhen had called, and why he inexplicably said it was nothing. What was he up to? But that didn't stop him from dominating the battlefield.

So what if it's a mobile battle royale game? It'll still be a rampage, killing everything in sight.

When the two battle royale mobile games were first released, they were very popular in the early stages. At least, the matchmaking for Lin Ruo's newly registered account was with real people.

Unlike in the future, after Peacekeeper Elite replaces it, if you're a newbie, half the matches you get will be against bots waiting for you to fight.

Of course, it's so bad that it can't even beat the AI.

Therefore, AI does have some significance. At least when you're running around the map like you're exploring a no-man's land, AI will occasionally pop up and fire a few shots to let you know there are other players, adding a bit of a humiliating gaming experience.

Lin Ruo's gaming experience naturally doesn't need the help of these systems; he would only make it impossible for others to have a gaming experience.

Most of the players he played against were from the PC version of PUBG, but many were complete beginners.

Therefore, Lin Ruo's match can no longer be called a "stomping" match. Playing against bots would be more enjoyable, and he doesn't even need to use a gun. Sometimes, killing someone with other weapons doesn't seem to be a big problem.

For example, a knife.

However, that would be too cruel. Lin Ruo didn't want to dampen the interest of the new players, so she decided to just give them a headshot and send them on their way.

While players who came from the PC version were still getting used to the touchscreen and mobile perspective, Lin Ruo was already shooting everywhere with a gun, a veritable ruthless demon.

Even if they had adapted, they would still be 100% slaughtered.

[Damn it, don't mess with the new account! If you play like this, you'll have to sell it.]

[It's not playing against bots, but it's even better than playing against bots. Watching Lin Gengxin play games is simply exhilarating.]

[Damn, is there no adjustment period when switching from computer to mobile? You can snipe without even aiming, isn't that cheating? Oh, it's Lin Gou (Lin Gengxin), never mind then.]

[I'm already fed up with it. It doesn't stir my emotions at all. It's just constant torture and abuse. The only time I'll feel anything is when Lin Gengxin gets tortured himself. So when will that day come? I can't wait any longer.]

"Then you probably won't see this in your lifetime, no, not even in your next life."

When will Lin Gou start dating? I heard dating affects one's performance, and a person's fighting power drops sharply. I really want to see the day Lin Gou's performance declines.

【You're absolutely right. I've decided to introduce my sister to Lin Gou, making a huge contribution to seeing him make a fool of himself.】

[Introducing your sister? Are you after his declining performance? You're after that dog's money, his body, and his handsome face.]

[Excuse me, is your sister a boy or a girl?]

...

Lin Ruo suppressed a laugh while watching the comments. After finishing the game, she quickly ended the stream and the screen went black, giving all the viewers in the live stream a big surprise.

After finishing, he didn't forget to post on Weibo: "Live streaming on a mobile phone is so inconvenient. It can shut down whenever it runs out of battery."

[Damn it, the live stream can suddenly shut down just because the phone runs out of battery, right?]

It's only 23 PM now, are you getting old prematurely? You should be sleeping by 23 PM.

People naturally didn't believe it, and even Lin Ruo himself didn't believe it, since he was only there to make people laugh.

Because she has to film a promotional video for a mobile game called PUBG at 8 a.m. tomorrow, Lin Ruo felt it was necessary to get some rest early today.

Get some rest to avoid dark circles under your eyes. Only with a perfect appearance can you provide excellent endorsement services, build a good reputation in the industry, and attract more advertisers in the future.

There's no way to earn as much money as shooting commercials while playing games. Just shoot a few dozen commercials and get a few endorsements, and you can easily move up your retirement plan by a significant margin at thirty.

Lin Ruo had a beautiful idea, but it seemed a bit difficult to achieve it at the moment.

Go to sleep.

It's common knowledge that he and his fans are good friends, so there's no need to explain; explaining would only hurt their feelings.

Lin Ruo, who had been happily saying goodnight, finished washing up amidst the commotion of the people having fun, and went to sleep promptly before 23:30 p.m.

He felt he was still going to bed too late and should leave work earlier in the future.

The next morning, on the club's weekend day off, Lin Ruoli promptly posted a good morning message on Weibo: "Brothers, I'm taking most of the day off. See you on the live stream tonight."

Great, the people who just received the notification couldn't sleep at all.

If someone left early yesterday and isn't showing up today, will they have to retire on the spot and not do a live stream tomorrow?

Ignoring the complaints, Lin Ruo went out and took a taxi to the filming location. As a spokesperson, in addition to appearing in the game promotion, she naturally had to cooperate in filming a few minutes of commercials.

Tengjing is known for his generosity when it comes to money, so Lin Ruo, who is greedy for cash, will certainly maintain excellent service.

Acting skills are not a problem; as long as the money is right, he can do anything.

As I said before, when it comes to money, he's an extremely professional man.

In conclusion, Teng Jing was very satisfied with the filming, and even more satisfied with Lin Ruo's live-streamed mobile game yesterday, which sparked quite a bit of discussion.

This is undoubtedly a significant positive promotion for the mobile version of PUBG. Although the PC version of PUBG is already popular, the mobile version doesn't seem to need to invest as much in operating costs.

But who can dislike the move of expanding into newer, more mainstream circles?

Well, Lin Ruo's requirements aren't high. She can just continue to hire him for future advertisements. It doesn't matter if the money is small, as long as there are many advertisements.

It doesn't matter if there's a lot of money, as long as there are more ads. He's Han Xin, the more the merrier.

Lin Ruo, who didn't finish filming until the afternoon, took a taxi back to the EDG base and posted on Weibo: "Brothers, I'm a bit tired today, so I won't be streaming."

The people who had just been annoyed in the morning were even more annoyed in the afternoon, especially those who only watch live streams on weekends and work during the week.

The matches are streamed live for a few hours on Saturdays, and even better on weekends, no live streams.

They're just messing around here, aren't they?

They were right; Lin Ruo was indeed playing them. Less than half an hour after posting the Weibo message, Lin Ruo, who had just finished eating, unexpectedly started a live stream.

Sorry, he was just joking.

He can't stop live streaming; he can't slack off. He needs to keep moving towards his great life goals, which are related to his early retirement plan and a better life.
