Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Chapter 17: The Popularity Begins to Spread

"Hey, you all saw it, the game producer himself handed out cheat sheets."

Jiang Yiting glanced at the notification bar from "Changshou Game Studio," a slight smile playing on her lips. She jokingly said to the camera, "Don't keep urging me to jump into the fire pit."

Off-field assistance! That doesn't count!

- Report the streamer for cheating! We suggest riding the snake and starting over!

"What kind of cheating is this?" Jiang Yiting retorted immediately, her tone carrying the confidence of a professional anchor.

"My own judgment is also to hook the bucket upwards, okay? This is called great minds thinking alike, and it reflects the game understanding of a professional streamer!"

- Ah, right, right, Brother Lou is the most professional, but he's been playing on KuaiBo for two nights and still hasn't finished it /doge

-Stop being stubborn, you're just chickening out! I'm unfollowing you!

- Is anyone keeping track of the time? How long has Lou Ge actually been playing?

- I don't know, but after you finish the game and exit, the Steam platform interface will show the total playtime, right?

-But she leaves the computer running for a long time, so that's not accurate.

- It's roughly about ten or so hours after the stream ends, which is the time spent AFK (away from keyboard).

-----------------

Next door, in room 1201, is Chen Bainian's small study.

Jiang Yiting ultimately chose to play it safe and did not risk "riding the snake," which was entirely within Chen Bainian's expectations.

He understands her; she has her own principles and bottom line when it comes to choosing live-streaming content, and she is not the kind of person who would do anything for popularity.

Watching her carefully maneuver her character to hook onto the bucket and cautiously use inertia to swing, she appeared much calmer than she had been the night before.

Chen Bainian felt that the later levels would be much less likely to subject her to the devastating "one-click return to town" attack.

He left the live stream feeling reassured.

He noticed that other streamers had started playing "Getting Over It" in the comments.

He opened the host category page of the live streaming platform again.

At a glance, six of the ten most popular live stream thumbnails are currently showing the show "Getting Over It".

This rapid spread confirms that the game's unique entertainment value has begun to take hold.

Amidst this "sledgehammer-wielding" craze, "Twelfth Floor's" livestream ranked first in its section, a testament to her soaring popularity.

Chen Bainian clicked into the live stream of the streamer "Night Breeze" who had just been mentioned in the comments.

He was impressed by the night breeze, and quite impressed at that.

When he privately contacted the streamer to seek cooperation, the streamer was one of them, and had even made sarcastic remarks.

As a senior streamer on the platform, Yefeng has a solid foundation.

With over 100,000 followers, the number of real-time viewers has remained stable at over 1,500.

Some data indicators are still better than Jiang Yiting, who has just become popular.

To be fair...

Chen Bainian believes that, in terms of live streaming games like "Getting Over It," which are highly likely to trigger emotional fluctuations, this is especially true.

Night Breeze's outgoing and boisterous style does indeed act as an emotional amplifier, creating more exaggerated program effects that resonate with the psychology of the general public.

After watching for a while, Chen Bainian frowned slightly.

Night Wind's "mistakes" in certain levels and the resulting frustration seem to have a touch of theatricality.

In contrast to Jiang Yiting's relatively calm and focused state even when stuck, her demeanor seemed somewhat unnatural.

"Why don't I remember this person from my past life?" A question crossed Chen Bainian's mind, but he understood after thinking about his character.

The live streaming industry is still experiencing rapid, unregulated growth.

Many "top streamers" are just flashes in the pan, failing to live long enough to truly break out of their niche.

Chen Bainian left his computer on Ye Feng's live stream for a while and discovered that Ye Feng had almost replicated his strategy from Jiang Yiting's live stream the previous night.

The entire site uses rockets to drive traffic, and low-threshold lucky draws to attract popularity, aiming to leverage the platform's organic recommendations.

However, in the "Getting Over It" category, Jiang Yiting has already secured a unique "niche" by virtue of her first-mover advantage.

Although the night wind has created a situation of equal strength due to its inherent flow, it is difficult to replicate the same explosive effect.

Moreover, Chen Bainian also noticed.

There were many familiar IDs in Ye Feng's live stream room that he had seen with Jiang Yiting. These IDs were mostly active during the lottery draws, but would disappear after the draws were over.

Afterwards, Chen Bainian casually clicked on a few more live streams in the console gaming section.

They even scrolled down the category page.

The further down the page you scroll, the higher the proportion of lower-level streamers broadcasting "Getting Over It".

Chen Bainian understood the reason after a moment's thought.

Top streamers have a fixed audience and are relatively cautious about chasing trends.

Meanwhile, smaller, less established livestreamers need to seize every potential trending topic, as this is their best chance to break through.

At the same time, viewers who crave interaction and feel invisible in large live streaming rooms will also flock to these smaller live streaming rooms, seeking the experience of becoming "honored guests".

After browsing through the console gaming section, Chen Bainian thought for a moment and then tried browsing through the other major game categories.

Sure enough, he saw live streams of "Getting Over It" on many category pages.

Chen Bainian nodded slightly. The game's popularity was spreading from the console gaming area outwards, and this trend was correct.

He particularly noted that this was especially true for some competitive game streamers who needed to queue.

Using "Getting Over It" to fill the gaps in the queue is simply the perfect choice to maintain the popularity of the live stream.

-----------------

It was nearly 11 p.m. in the "12th Floor" live broadcast room.

The number of viewers in the live stream that evening remained stable at around two thousand, with the peak briefly exceeding four thousand.

After a hard night of fighting, Jiang Yiting successively overcame the challenges of the "anvil", "bucket" and "snow mountain".

Finally, we arrived at the foot of the final "Iron Tower".

The comments section started to get active:

-The map is getting emptier, does that mean we're almost done?

-The producer said last night that there was a chance that Brother Lou could clear the game if he stayed up all night. He's doing so well today, so he'll probably be done soon!

Just then, Chen Bainian, who had finished his "inspection" outside, returned to the live broadcast room.

Seeing the discussion in the live chat, he posted a comment using the ID "Longevity Games Studio":

Once you get past this iron tower, you'll clear the level.

Ah! The producer is still here!

-Yeah, it's been so long since we talked, I thought you'd left!

Seeing this familiar ID give such a definite answer.

Jiang Yiting's nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed a little.

"Looks like we'll really be able to beat the game tonight."

She let out a long sigh of relief, her tone light and cheerful.

Then, she suddenly showed a bit of the streamer's playfulness and shouted into the microphone: "Hey? Those who said they would send gifts and airplanes as long as I pass the level when the stream started, don't pretend to disconnect!"

I wrote it all down in my little notebook!

In the live stream, after broadcasting all day with makeup on, her makeup was no longer as exquisite as it was in the morning, and her fatigue was hard to hide.

However, the excitement and radiance of impending achievement, along with the natural authenticity she exuded, made her appear exceptionally vivid and alive at that moment.
