LOL: Can’t I play other games professionally?

Chapter 466 It's normal for an old man to have slow reflexes when fighting with knives.
After their fierce battle with IG on Saturday, EDG had a short day off on Sunday because their next match was scheduled for next Thursday.

Lin Ruo naturally couldn't slack off and continued his daily tasks in the Three Kingdoms: Strategy Edition.

First, they made great efforts to defeat the local slaves; second, they dispatched advance troops to Shangluo to build camps, upgrade equipment, and prepare for a major battle to seize the pass.

As the broadcast time increased and stabilized, the popularity of Lin Ruoxin's live broadcast room steadily rose, as reflected in the real-time number of viewers calculated based on the popularity in the Zhanqi backend.

After a wave of passing viewers receded, the number of real viewers in Lin Ruo's live stream remained stable at an average of over 600,000 per day, and at its peak in the evening, it even exceeded one million.

It has already reached a level that even the most popular top streamers on the three major platforms can only dream of.

Even streamers like Lu Benwei and Da Sima are less than one-tenth of the number.

Every time Lin Ruo goes live, Zhanqi's official account feels a shiver, because it seems like they can make money without lifting a finger.

Unlike Huya and Douyu next door, which have been racking their brains to organize all sorts of activities in the past few months, such as streamer competitions one after another.

The result was that it couldn't be shaken at all.

Indeed, making choices is always one of the most important aspects of life.

The development of Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Strategy Edition is even more impressive.

Lin Ruo's live stream lasted less than four days, and the download volume of Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Strategy Edition on major app stores not only soared, but its popularity also jumped to the top three on the overall charts.

Originally, it was a game with only a mid-sized player base, but it became a top-five consumer game due to its high average player spending.

With the number of players more than doubled, the potential for future development is undoubtedly bright.

Even the official Romance of the Three Kingdoms team felt that the gifts they sent a couple of days ago were a bit too meager.

On Sunday morning, before noon, they rushed to Lin Ruo's live stream to throw money around.

Not much, just a whopping 1000 big swords, totaling only a million RMB.

The viewers in the live stream were stunned by this scene, and at one point even doubted whether they had woken up properly.

Fortunately, Lin Ruo gave away some gifts in a raffle, which caught the attention of the viewers in the live stream.

This is true. Why? Because even Lin Ruo, who's known for his frugality, is giving away cash prizes in a raffle. This shows how generous the gifts from the official Romance of the Three Kingdoms team are.

"You little brat." Mingkai, who had just entered the room, felt that he had come in at a very inopportune time.

Fortunately, he blocked the view, and Tianye, who came in through the gap, did not see this scene, otherwise it would have been painful for both of them.

Why is there such a big difference between people who stream gaming? They're both doing it on live stream.

If you're just playing, then play. We're just wasting time, but you're wasting money!

Without comparison, there is no difference. Mingkai thinks that if he were Lin Ruo, he would have retired long ago and become a streamer. He would have earned more than 20 million yuan a year.

Hmph, maybe Lin Ruo became a professional gamer so he could continue experiencing life.

It really does look quite similar; you don't even need to play ranked matches normally.

Even someone like Mingkai, who's now a head coach, still plays three or four games a day to familiarize himself with the game's mechanics.

“Kai, buy an account and play with me. That way, the official Romance of the Three Kingdoms team will definitely come to your live stream and leave comments.”

"No, I won't play, I'll just watch." Mingkai waved his hand and refused.

Mingkai, who is already very busy, can't handle this kind of game that requires a lot of energy.

He's not someone Lin Ruonong can control.

Having debuted early and having a wide range of gaming interests, Mingkai immediately opened the classic game CrossFire (CF). It's an old game, and although he doesn't play it much now, he still checks it out every three or four days.

Mingkai is a rather nostalgic person. He doesn't really put much effort into playing popular games like PUBG.

"Ruican, let's play a couple of rounds." Mingkai turned around and called out to Scout next to him.

Scout is a person who enjoys a wide range of games. He often plays all kinds of games in his spare time. He has even learned Wuhan dialect quite well. It's not impossible for him to learn to play CF with Mingkai.

"CF?" Lin Ruo's gaze stirred up some old memories, and the sight of the level 9 bronze on the screen and the royal flush in the Dou Dizhu game clips suddenly lost its appeal.

In the previous era, besides League of Legends, the game he played the most was CrossFire.

In other words, many players start with CrossFire (CF) and then gradually get into League of Legends, and that's how it was for Lin Ruo.

After all, the two games dominated in different eras.

When Lin Ruo thought of CF, she couldn't help but think of the man named Nicholas Tse.

I don't know when she started endorsing CF, but it seems like Lin Ruo has been playing CF for years and spending every day with Nicholas Tse.

I want to listen to the songs, I want to see the people, and I wonder what new endorsement songs have been released.

Fortunately, it has a nice melody.

However, what impressed Lin Ruo the most was the annual anniversary celebration, which was indeed known to the world.

Not only were the service areas inaccessible due to traffic jams, but even at internet cafes, it was impossible to find a seat.

To log in and claim those rewards and super bonus events, who knows how much effort they put in? They fought their way through countless battles.

Tsk tsk.

Feeling sentimental, Lin Ruo turned around as she listened to the familiar melody, and unconsciously burst out laughing.

Goodness, Mingkai's CF skills are a bit underwhelming.

"An accident, an accident." Hearing the laughter, Mingkai immediately tensed up and decided to take it seriously.

The map he and Scout are currently playing is the water-based version of Blade's Edge, with two bridges standing side by side and a poisonous swamp below. The terrain is quite complex and requires a lot of skillful movement.

Kai's positioning made Lin Ruozhen think, "I could do that too."

Why? Please watch the VCR.

Ming Kai, who was chasing after people with a shovel, didn't consider that the enemy was luring him in, or that he was completely unaware of the possibility of turning around. As a result, he ran too close and was caught off guard by his opponent, who turned around and used a light knife to blow his head off.

It tastes just right.

Not to mention that he was being tossed around and bounced around so much that he lost his bearings and was easily taken down.

"Mingkai, are you sure you're a veteran?" After watching several rounds, Lin Ruo issued her most sincere test.

He wasn't questioning, he was confirming.

In response, Mingkai offered a strong explanation: "Wait until I get out and show you my account, you'll see I'm definitely a pro. As for these few rounds? I just didn't feel like I had the game yet when I first logged in."

"But why did Scout get into a good rhythm as soon as he logged in?" Lin Ruo stared intently at the interface. Scout's stats were quite good, with more than twice as many kills as Mingkai.

"Don't you even know how old he is, and how old I am?" Mingkai finally couldn't help but tell the truth.

There's nothing I can do; time waits for no one. He's gotten so old that his reaction time in League of Legends is incredibly slow now. How can you expect me to have a fast reaction time in CrossFire?
Why don't you go watch pigs climb trees?
