Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

In stark contrast to the relaxed farewell at the entrance of the residential compound, the journey to Jiangcheng, a thousand miles away...

The game streamer Yefeng was facing the computer screen with a gloomy expression.

Just the day before yesterday, during his live stream, he noticed that the number of viewers in his live stream had decreased significantly.

The interaction with the bullet comments was not as active as usual.

After the broadcast ended, he stared at the backend data, refreshing it repeatedly in frustration, his brow furrowed.

At first, he thought it was a problem with his own condition.

But after communicating with the property manager and observing the data of several other top streamers in the same area, he became certain: "It's not my problem; a fact is right in front of me:"

It wasn't his problem; it was that "12th Floor" that suddenly appeared out of nowhere that stole all the attention from him.

This displeasure at being challenged by newcomers prompted him to quickly devise countermeasures.

After observing several industry groups and getting a general understanding of the situation from his room manager, he instantly had a breakthrough in his thinking.

"If she can do it, why can't I? I can also do a live-streamed giveaway!"

"Besides, with my performance skills, I should have an advantage when broadcasting this kind of game!"

The night breeze instantly sparked this idea, and it was put into practice efficiently.

So, the same pattern that appeared in the "12th Floor" livestream the previous day was perfectly replicated in the "Night Breeze" livestream the following evening.

The effect was immediate. Although the total number of viewers did not break the record, the number of comments and interactions reached a new high, which restored his confidence.

The only drawback is that his live stream is missing the sponsor ID of "Longevity Game Studio".

After he ended his broadcast, he also heard from the moderator that the ID had appeared in his live stream before.

He didn't say anything or give any gifts, so he didn't notice her.

Although he was slightly concerned, he didn't dwell on it too much.

What truly caused him to lose his composure was the allocation of recommended resources on the platform's homepage.

The traffic in the console gaming section is already limited, and the homepage recommendation slots have always been the domain of their few contracted top streamers.

Now, the rise of "Twelfth Floor" has directly impacted his core interests.

Although he acknowledged in his heart that it was reasonable for the other party to gain an early advantage by taking advantage of the game's launch, and he himself did indeed benefit from it.

But he still holds a glimmer of hope that once the "12th Floor" game is completed, the popularity will naturally decline, and the featured positions will be rearranged.

Besides "Twelfth Floor", he had the best live-streaming effect for "Getting Over It".

It should be the first choice.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

According to the operations department, the homepage recommendation tonight once again features "12th Floor".

The reason given was that the other party wanted to conduct a game map analysis and interview with the producer.

"Why should we?" A surge of anger instantly erupted. Night Wind stared at the screen, almost grinding his teeth to powder. "The game's already finished, what's the point of watching? Are we supposed to let the producer play all night? Then who owns this livestream?!"

The frustration of being "suppressed" despite rational analysis based on industry experience was far more infuriating to him than the mere loss of traffic.

But he couldn't vent this anger on the operations team that decided on resource allocation; he could only suppress it in his heart, turning it into a cloud of restlessness and depression.

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

Just as Ye Feng was feeling indignant about the homepage recommendation, Jiang Yiting in the Game TV office area was also facing a sweet dilemma.

"Xiao Jiang, you haven't been acting right these past few days. You keep getting distracted." Her partner, Xiong Wei, gently nudged her arm and whispered a reminder, "It was already a bit like that during yesterday's recording, but it's even more obvious today. The New Year is over, it's time to get back to normal."

"Huh? Oh...maybe so. I haven't fully adjusted from the holiday mood yet." Jiang Yiting snapped out of her daze and made up an excuse.

She knew the truth in her heart.

The recording wasn't very focused yesterday because of my recent live streaming habits.

After she started live streaming, she developed the habit of interacting with the chat.

This became even more apparent during my recent playthrough of Getting Over It.

This led her to subconsciously try to interact with the comments section during the recording process.

But today's unease stems from something else.

It's not because it was featured on the homepage again.

The saying goes, "Practice makes perfect."

Having already experienced this once, it no longer has much of an impact on her.

What caught her attention was that a business cooperation team had approached her.

The company is called Haicheng Beifu Culture Communication Co., Ltd., and it is quite well-known in the live streaming industry.

Its main business is to provide e-sports influencers with one-stop agency operation services for their Taobao stores.

Jiang Yiting remembers hearing about this model when she was an undergraduate making game videos.

The originator is a former MOBA retired professional player known as "Nine Gods", who can be called the pioneer of the "video + e-commerce" model.

At that time, she was an unknown video creator, so naturally no one came to her door to collaborate.

Now, thanks to the popularity of "Getting Over It," she has even attracted the attention of companies like this.

She recalled several cases in the live streaming industry where people's income skyrocketed because of managing Taobao stores on behalf of others.

The most famous of them all is Fengshen, the retired e-sports player who has recently been jokingly called the "Pork Floss Pancake God of War".

She unconsciously twirled the pen in her hand, the tip drawing circles on the paper without her noticing.

This cooperation proposal was like a tempting cake placed in front of her.

A substantial and stable share of the revenue was enough for her to completely shed her financial worries and decisively resign from her hosting and production jobs at the TV station to devote herself entirely to full-time live streaming.

At that time, she will have greater autonomy over content creation and will no longer have to force herself to take on game business deals that she doesn't like.

However, another voice shone sharply in her mind:

"What if... what if there's a problem with the product selection, or the product quality is substandard? The fans' anger will be directed at you, '12th Floor,' and at you, Jiang Yiting!"

The trust painstakingly built up over this period could vanish overnight.

She sighed and looked out the window.

Downstairs, cars and pedestrians bustle about, each seemingly with a clear purpose, proceeding methodically.

She alone stood at this crossroads, full of temptations yet fraught with risks, hesitant to move forward.

If the invitation had come from a well-established company founded by a retired athlete, with a good reputation after years of operation, her decision might have been much easier.

After all, that means a mature supply chain and product selection.

However, she still felt uncertain about "Haicheng Beifu," a company that was only founded last year with the rise of live streaming.

Amidst my chaotic thoughts, one figure came to mind—Chen Bainian.

The man who could precisely design a live-streaming experience like "Getting Over It".

The man who decisively used a lottery strategy to generate the first wave of traffic for her, had such a sharp eye that even she, a professional in the industry, secretly admired him.

If it were him, what would he choose when faced with such an opportunity?

Once the thought arises, it can never be suppressed.

She instinctively picked up her phone, swiped her finger across the screen, and opened the chat window that she had jokingly labeled "Old Turtle," hesitating whether she should send the message for help.
