Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Jiang Yiting glanced at the volcanic eruption of comments on the screen, a smirk playing on her lips. She deliberately drew out her voice as she spoke to someone off-camera: "Looks like everyone's eager to see our 'special guest' tonight."

She turned to the side, glanced out of the camera's view, and wore a triumphant smile.

"However, someone is still doing 'mental preparation' backstage!"

After all, it was his first time appearing on camera, and he had to directly face the group of victims who had been tormented by his monstrous game for two nights. Who wouldn't feel weak in the knees?

- Victims' Alliance? I'm not! I really didn't participate!

-Don't pretend, upstairs! Your game time screenshots are still lying in the group!

Stop building! Drag Chen out of here!

Off-camera, Chen Bainian, who was originally calm, was stirred up by her and glanced at the comments section, and he actually felt a bit nervous about being "publicly executed".

"Alright, alright," Jiang Yiting said, knowing when to stop, and smiled as she took control of the situation. "Let's stop putting pressure on Producer Chen. Actually, the atmosphere in our live stream is very friendly, right?"

Yes, yes, yes! We're the gentlest!

-I promise I won't kill him!

"Now, let's unleash our most enthusiastic barrage of comments and gifts!" Jiang Yiting raised her voice and led the applause, "Welcome to the live stream of Chen, the creator of 'Getting Over It'!"

Chen Bainian took a deep breath, knowing there was no way to avoid it, and calmly walked in front of the camera and sat down in the chair next to Jiang Yiting.

"Hey, come closer, half of your body is out of the frame." Jiang Yiting said, naturally reaching out to pull him towards her.

After adjusting, the distance between the two instantly closed, their knees almost touching, and they could even feel each other's body heat.

The live chat immediately picked up on this subtle interaction, and the excitement only intensified:

Chen Gou is here! RNM! Refund!

I demand compensation for my keyboard, mouse, and emotional distress!

Brother Lou, quickly use your feminine wiles to interrogate him!

Ignoring the clamoring comments, Jiang Yiting got into hosting mode: "Come on, Teacher Chen, please say hello to everyone first."

"Hello everyone, I'm Chen Bainian, the producer of 'Getting Over It'." His voice was gentle, with a hint of restraint from his first time on camera.

"You still seem a little nervous, huh?" Jiang Yiting smiled slyly, deciding to start with a lighter topic.

"Let's begin with our first 'soul-searching question': Countless viewers have asked you to pay for their keyboards. What's your opinion on this?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Bainian chuckled softly: "Regarding this issue, I actually gave the official hint in the game."

"Oh? How so?" Jiang Yiting cooperated by showing a curious expression.

"During his live stream, Brother Lou also paid attention to our background notification sounds, and one of them was:"

Sometimes we need to temporarily detach ourselves from setbacks. Turn off the game, go for a walk, and let the scenery help change your mood.

Jiang Yiting was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing: "Goodness! Is this what you call 'killing someone by breaking their spirit'?"

The game was designed to make people smash their keyboards, and then gently reminded players in the game, "Honey, you won't get compensation if you get angry?"

Is this your last shred of conscience, or a sophisticated form of mockery?

"None of those," Chen Bainian shook his head, his tone becoming more serious. "This is my most honest view on 'setbacks'."

Having been given a second chance at life, he understands better than anyone that getting stuck on trivial details is the greatest irresponsibility.

True strength is not about toughing out, but about knowing when to withdraw and when to fight again.

He continued, his voice still steady: "The physics engine and level design of 'Getting Over It' do indeed lead to a high failure rate."

When I ask my friends to test it, I often get so angry that I want to smash the mouse.

But is the fun of a game really only about the moment you beat it?

"You mean, the process itself is more valuable?" Jiang Yiting keenly guided the conversation.

"That's right." Chen Bainian nodded.

"The focus and observation skills cultivated in the process of going from 'completely impossible' to 'seemingly getting the hang of it' and then to 'almost there' are the real assets that players can take away."

That notification sound is meant to encourage players to pause before they lose control of their emotions, rather than being overwhelmed by frustration.

A temporary retreat is for the sake of a more graceful advance.

"Brother Lou, your decisive decision to end the broadcast on the first night was a perfect example of this."

His tone was calm, without a hint of preaching, yet it was like dropping a bombshell in the live broadcast room.

The comments section froze for a moment, then started scrolling wildly:

Wait, I actually think what he said makes a lot of sense...

- The case is solved! Chen Gou studied psychology!

-So, the reason I don't smash my keyboard is because I'm cultivating my mindset?

- Damn it, he got me!

Jiang Yiting stared at Chen Bainian's profile as he spoke eloquently, and the clarity in his words made her momentarily lost in thought.

However, her professional instincts allowed her to quickly regain her form.

She cleverly steered the conversation back to a more specific and entertaining topic: "It sounds like Teacher Chen had 'bad intentions' in designing the sense of frustration."

"Let's ask a specific question: how did you come up with that insidious 'one-click return to base' design in 'Orange Mountain'?"

She leaned closer to Chen Bainian, pretending to listen.

This unconscious movement shortened the already close distance between the two, and their knees lightly touched.

A very faint, cool minty scent lingered around Chen Bainian's nose.

He subtly shifted his weight back and replied, "I suppose it was intentional."

I want to design a momentary, explosive setback.

Just like in life, some difficulties make you feel like you have to start all over again.

But starting over doesn't mean starting from scratch, because you've already gained experience.

Speaking of "starting over", he couldn't help but think of his own rebirth, which was also a more thorough start.

He chuckled and added, "The 'Riding the Snake' level follows a similar logic, but you were smart enough not to fall for it, Brother Lou."

"So riding the snake really does 'instantly return to town'?" Jiang Yiting immediately seized on the key point. "Is this a choice between temptation and warning?"

"Yes. We have put up clear warning signs saying 'Do not ride snakes,' but there are always people who take shortcuts or out of curiosity and adventure."

This is like life: faced with immense temptation and clear warnings, there will always be some people who take a chance.

Chen Bainian calmly explained: "Of course, even if the right choice was made—hooking the bucket."

Failure is also possible if an operational error is made.

This is the cost of making the right choice but executing it incorrectly.

Hearing this, Jiang Yiting couldn't help but think of the dilemma she had faced earlier that day regarding the business partnership.

And now, it seems that she has a vague answer to this question in her heart.

Meanwhile, in Ye Feng's live stream room.

"Waaaaah!" A piercing scream ripped through the night sky as the jar-man he was controlling tumbled off the snake's head, plummeted down the snake's body, and precisely returned to its distant starting point.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Immediately afterwards, a series of muffled, suppressed pounding sounds came from the microphone.
