Reborn to Make Games: My Girlfriend is a Game Streamer

Meanwhile, in Mingchunyuan Residential Community, Room 1202, Building 3.

Achoo, achoo.

Two crisp sneezes sounded particularly abrupt in the quiet room.

Jiang Yiting, who was bending over to pack her suitcase, rubbed her nose. Immediately, her mother's nagging, tinged with a Sichuan accent, came through the speakerphone: "Look at you! Wearing your down jacket open, no wonder you caught a cold!"

"Oh my god, it was just two sneezes, what's the big deal?" she said, but her hands didn't stop packing her luggage.

"My dear child, remember to put the food I brought you in the freezer." His father's deep voice broke in, full of concern.

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Yiting's tone unconsciously became obedient: "I understand, old man."

"Little sister, when are you going to bring your boyfriend home to meet us?" The older brother's teasing voice followed closely behind, tinged with mischief.

Jiang Yiting immediately retorted, her tone sharp and assertive: "Brother, my current boyfriend is called 'Live Streaming Career,' he doesn't have time to cheat!"

"Live streaming is fine, but don't stay up too late. Remember to go to bed early," the mother added, nagging.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to eat now, I'm not going to chat with you guys anymore."

After hanging up the phone, the room fell silent instantly, and Jiang Yiting let out a long sigh of relief.

As an outstanding graduate student from one of the top two universities in China, I chose to enter the game industry a year ago when I was about to graduate, working as a producer and host of the "Leisure Street" program on Game TV.

This choice has puzzled many teachers and friends.

Fortunately, she was born into a loving family. Although her parents and brothers did not understand the gaming industry, they always supported her unconditionally.

With the rise of live streaming, she chose to follow the trend and become a console game streamer.

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

8 PM, Room 1201.

As soon as Chen Bainian opened the door, a small black dumpling rushed out from the corner of the living room.

He lifted his foot and gently stopped him.

The kitten whimpered in dissatisfaction, rubbed against his trouser leg, and shrank into the entryway, its round blue eyes staring straight at him.

After putting down his backpack, Chen Bainian bent down, scooped up the kitten at his feet, and sank into the beanbag chair.

"Hiss..." The moment his back touched the soft cushion, Chen Bainian couldn't help but gasp, feeling every muscle in his body scream. "That damn Xu, he went way too far!"

In this life, reborn, Chen Bainian chooses to prioritize health over making money.

He didn't want to repeat the mistake of dying from overwork in his previous life.

Thus, Xu Haoran, a tall and fit fitness enthusiast, became Chen Bainian's handpicked fitness coach.

He didn't aspire to become a muscle monster like Xu Haoran; he simply wanted to improve his physical fitness.

By the way, practicing your lines a little is also a good idea.

It's better than being a "fragile planner" in my previous life.

"Big brother, let's make a deal, don't disturb my sleep tonight." Chen Bai gently placed the kitten in front of him.

"Eek." The little kitten tilted its head, its big blue eyes full of innocence.

But Chen Bainian immediately recalled the nights he had spent finding it.

Chen Bainian, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly attacked by the little kitten stepping on his face.

Perhaps this little kitten is really energetic at night, or maybe it hasn't felt safe in its new home yet.

Tortured to the point of having no life in his eyes, Chen Bainian slumped against the headboard, holding up this "culprit".

He let out a weak, mournful wail: "Big brother, spare me! I want to live a few more years..."

Unexpectedly, the little kitten actually let out a "meow" in a self-righteous manner.

"Fine, you really are my big brother." Chen Bainian smiled wryly, completely surrendering.

From then on, the name "Big Brother" for the little kitten came into being.

After teasing his older brother for a while, Chen Bainian got up and started soaking cat food for him.

The kitten's stomach was fragile, so he followed the veterinarian's advice and used warm water to mix with goat milk to soften the cat food.

As he watched his "big brother" come closer, his little head bobbing noisily as he ate, his thoughts drifted back to the afternoon.

That figure on a skateboard with her hair in a high ponytail...

He took out his phone and opened the newly added WeChat account.

Her nickname is simply "Twelfth Floor". The girl in the profile picture has her signature high ponytail, is making a peace sign with both hands, and has a bright and flamboyant smile. Judging from the background, she seems to be traveling somewhere.

I opened my WeChat Moments, hoping to see what life was like for this future top streamer, but was blocked by the "visible for three days only" setting.

Chen Bainian wasn't too surprised and carefully sent a message.

"I'm free all day tomorrow. Contact me whenever you're available."

Encountering "The Twelfth Floor" provided him with a great opportunity to promote his first project after his rebirth.

In its previous life, "Getting Over It" became a huge hit after streamers broke down in their defenses during their live broadcasts.

He did consider hiring a livestreamer to promote the product.

However, firstly, I have limited funds and can't afford to hire any big-name streamers.

Secondly, contacting livestreamers for help with promotion is also a process that requires certain qualifications.

He tried contacting several streamers in the single-player game section, but they all became hesitant after hearing that he was an indie game developer.

Even worse, some people mocked him.

After all, indie games mean low budgets.

For a domestic independent game developer, this means even more uncertainty.

The quality of the game is uncertain, and even more uncertain is whether the advertising expenses can be paid on time.

Therefore, to make good use of this opportunity, it is necessary to improve the relationship between the two of them so that it will not be too abrupt when he makes this request.

If she could start the conversation herself, that would be ideal.

Thinking of this, Chen Bainian's gaze fell on his elder brother, who was enjoying his meal.

"Looks like we'll have to rely on you, my good brother." Chen Bainian gently rubbed the kitten's head. "Whether we can live in a mansion and eat the best cat food in the future depends on your performance."

After his older brother impatiently slapped away the large hand that was blocking his eating, Chen Bainian took the opportunity to take a picture of his older brother working hard and sent it to Jiang Yiting.

The first step in changing her impression is to show her that the kittens are well cared for here.

Next, Chen Bainian opened his WeChat Moments and edited a post: "Digging for Survival" launch day 1, waiting for you to take the challenge.

The accompanying image shows the game's store interface on the Steam platform.

I also adjusted the visibility of this post on my WeChat Moments.

"That's more professional." Chen Bainian nodded in satisfaction.

After feeding the cat, tidying up a bit, and washing up, Chen Bainian went to bed comfortably.

Seeing that Jiang Yiting hadn't replied to his message yet, he figured out that she was live-streaming and didn't have time to check her phone or reply.

Chen Bainian skillfully opened Douyu, the live streaming app that had accompanied him through countless overtime nights in his previous life.

I searched for the ID "12th Floor" and found the live stream room of that future top streamer.

"Huh? There are already over 10,000 followers?" Chen Bainian noticed the number of followers in the live stream, which was much higher than he had expected. "Over 300 people are watching in real time, not bad."

Her face wasn't visible on the screen; the camera only showed her hands as she manipulated the keyboard and mouse, her fingertips slender and agile, her movements fluid and effortless.

But that unique, magnetic voice, tinged with a touch of languor, came through the speakers clearly, sharply analyzing the game's mechanics and occasionally interspersing a few apt jokes.

Chen Bainian watched quietly for a while.

Jiang Yiting, who was speaking eloquently on the other end of the screen, gradually overlapped with the key nodes in his future blueprint.

These active viewers in the live stream are his first potential players and the ideal "tipping point".

As the live stream neared its end and the game content came to a close, Chen Bainian typed a message in the chat box and clicked send:

"Hey Lou, any good domestic indie games that have come out lately?"
