Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

And this is just the appetizer.

This GTA Liberty City arc has much more to it than what we've shown so far.

Next, Zhu Youxing controlled his character to do jobs such as driving an ambulance and a delivery truck for a while, and each job would give him a different amount of money as payment.

Sometimes, however, some unscrupulous job posters will withhold the salary.

Zhu Youxing discovered right after finishing a delivery that no money had been deposited into his account.

Then Zhu Youxing tried to contact the person who posted the job through the phone in the game, only to find that the other party's phone number was no longer in service.

This immediately resonated with many viewers in the live stream.

"Damn it! I never thought there would be such a jerk in a game! How dare he deduct my salary!"

"What are you waiting for? Find this guy for me!"

"I'm timid and submissive in real life, so why should I be polite to this guy in the game! Streamer, as long as you find this guy, I'll give you a reward right away!"

Not everyone has experienced wage deductions, but this is often the kind of situation that ordinary people can most easily empathize with.

This resonates more with me than when I encountered a complaint and then beat up the complainant.

Zhu Youxing was naturally no slouch either, but at this time, finding someone required some special methods.

To find job postings, you need to find people like hackers on the internet to help you find the posting information, which requires paying extra money.

However, players nowadays don't care about this financial investment at all. After all, it's all in-game money, which is different from real life. There are always ways to earn money in games, but being scammed is absolutely unacceptable.

In games, this process is naturally simplified as much as possible. It's impossible for it to be exactly the same as real life. Games give players a feeling of a second life, but the experience is definitely better than real life.

So the process of finding the person only took a few seconds, and the phone directly sent over the location of the NPC who was causing trouble for the protagonist.

This time, Zhu Youxing found a car without saying a word and headed to the destination.

Then, the next thing to do was to give the guy who dared to withhold his pay a good beating.

The viewers in the live stream were immediately satisfied.

The second thing that satisfied them was leaving the live stream.

The reason for leaving the live stream was obviously to buy the game!

As a launch title for the new console, GTA: Episodes of Liberty City has not yet been released directly on the Battle.net platform, which can be seen as a strategy to boost console sales.

Therefore, many viewers left the live stream and went straight to the nearest game console store or department store, hoping to buy a game console as soon as possible.

Hurry up and buy it, or you won't be able to buy it anymore!

However, these players' concerns are somewhat unnecessary, as Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has always had ample stock.

Furthermore, GTA: Episodes of Liberty City can also be played on older consoles, although the experience will definitely be inferior. This game requires the latest AI computing capabilities to make the characters in the game more vivid and realistic. On older consoles, NPCs are just static data, and the difference is quite significant.

Therefore, players who want to play this game will almost never hesitate to buy the latest game console.

Zhu Youxing's live stream continued. After playing some additional game content, he returned to the main story.

Playing those extra gameplay modes before was partly for show, and partly to save up some money for the characters in the game. There will be some intense gunfights coming up, and saving up some money will allow you to prepare enough weapons and ammunition in advance to deal with trouble.

However, it's not necessary to play it this way. Playing it this way is just to make the game more enjoyable later on. It's also fine to quickly complete the main storyline.

Of course, simply replaying old games from a previous life isn't exactly fun.

Only by combining the world's newest technologies to develop a more modern game can we pique the interest of Zhu Youxing, a veteran gamer from two lifetimes.

The original GTA4 actually had quite a few flaws.

Upon arriving in this world, Zhu Youxing naturally resolved all these shortcomings one by one.

The driving experience in the earliest GTA4 games was quite terrible. If it weren't for the really good storyline and its amazing performance at the time, if the game's release date had been delayed by two or three years, it might not have left a deep enough impression on Yusei.

Therefore, in this world, the Bamboo Star completely changes the driving feel of the game.

To this end, Zhuyouxing also arranged for the most senior racing data tuner from the team that developed Need for Speed ​​to work together on the development of GTA.

Then there are the game character's movements.

Similarly, with experience developing hardcore action games like Monster Hunter and Street Fighter, developing character animations for the GTA series would be a piece of cake.

Therefore, GTA4 in this world can be considered a complete overhaul, and the experience is definitely better than the original.

Of course, the investment is also much higher than the original version.

But none of these are major problems.

Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has plenty of money right now.

Amusement Park was a money-devouring beast, but now it's also a cash cow, capable of generating huge profits. It's now self-sufficient, using its profits to build new parks and increase its influence and profits.

Many other games are also consistently profitable, and there are annual game sales that can instantly attract a large amount of money. Not to mention the investment in GTA4, even the total investment in 2077 seems insignificant now.

However, Zhuyouxing still retained some elements from the original game.

For example, the original game had a somewhat dark overall color scheme.

This was a trend in the original game's time, when most games were somewhat gray and gloomy. However, perhaps it's a coincidence that GTA4's stock market style is somewhat dark and gloomy, which overlaps with this filter.

Then there are a series of various minor changes, such as the addition of an instant save function, more mini-games, and a quick skip function if players are unable to pass a level for a long time.

These are all lessons learned by the original GTA developers, which were then directly incorporated into this game by Yusei Takeuchi.

Chapter 1004 The Detail Maniac (1)

GTA4 tells the story of an American dream, but also a shattered American dream.

When Nico, an Eastern European veteran, arrived in the United States, players initially thought it was just a story about pursuing dreams and survival.

However, as the main storyline progresses, players will discover that Nico came to the United States with other purposes, namely revenge.

Or perhaps this was Nico's original intention.

Nico once participated in a very brutal war in which he and his comrades were attacked, resulting in only two survivors besides him.

Later, Nico believed that it must have been because of a traitor that their entire team suffered heavy casualties, with twelve of their former close comrades dying tragically.

Therefore, he was determined to avenge this, no matter what.

His investigation revealed that one of his surviving comrades was in the United States, and his goal was to come to the United States to find this comrade and seek revenge.

Pursuing his dream in the United States was not his original purpose.

Zhu Youxing originally planned to complete the game in one week, averaging about thirteen hours of gameplay per day, which would take about ninety hours.

Actually, if you play the main story quickly, it should only take about 30 to 40 hours. However, to finish the game by only playing the GTA main story is really a waste of its potential.

The most fun part of this game is actually the content outside the main story. The main story is more about attracting players with its narrative, while the gameplay itself isn't particularly interesting.

So Bamboo Star plays the main storyline while doing some extra side stories in Liberty City, or simply wanders around.

At first, Zhu Youxing's live stream didn't have many viewers. Later, because Zhu Youxing's game performances were so exciting, many viewers went out to buy the games and play them themselves, and then the popularity of Zhu Youxing's live stream dropped a lot.

But Facebook's official live streaming platform knows who Zhu Youxing is.

They dared not neglect it at all, so they arranged a complete set of recommendations for Zhu Youxing.

So, the number of viewers in Zhuyouxing's live stream began to increase rapidly the following day.

"Huh? What kind of streamer is this? I've never heard of this streamer before. I didn't expect them to appear directly on the official homepage recommendation page, and even be highly recommended. What's going on?"

"This live stream isn't anything special, it's just an ordinary game live stream, but GTA: Chapters of Liberty City is really fun, no doubt about it."

Throughout the live stream, Zhu Youxing didn't interact much with the audience; he simply played games. As a result, many viewers didn't understand why such a live stream could be featured on the homepage, let alone be a specially promoted streamer by the official platform.

"Could it be that he has some powerful backing?"

"Look at this streamer's username: Zhuyouxing Benzun. Could he really be that God of Games?"

"This... how is this possible? Would such a big shot really stream a game like this for so long? Does he have that much free time?"

Many people still find it hard to believe.

However, Facebook Live labeled this live stream as officially recommended.

This kind of treatment is not something that ordinary live streamers can enjoy.

Only streamers with tens of millions of followers can enjoy this treatment, but this guy only has around 100,000 followers right now.

This 100,000 figure only just came up in the last two days.

"Dear viewers, the streamer hopes that you can focus on the game itself, not the streamer. That's why the streamer chooses not to show his face. Please just enjoy the game and don't put too much energy into the streamer."

Just then, a notification message appeared on the official live stream platform.

This message directly overshadowed all the comments, allowing most viewers to see the pop-up message immediately.

This message only made the live stream seem even more mysterious.

An official pop-up ad, an official recommendation—it's easy to guess who this treatment is for.

Even so, it's still a little hard to believe.

Then, more and more viewers flooded into the live stream, and the discussions became increasingly varied.

But overall, the majority of viewers still discuss the game.

The main reason is that the game's content is too attractive.

During this process, Zhu Youxing first accepted several job assignments in American cities, some as taxi drivers, some as fire truck drivers, and some simply to deliver a flower to someone in another place.

Even more outrageous are those who lead a group of gang members in a shootout with another group of gang members, and after the shootout, they can search the bodies and loot a large sum of money.

However, this angered a certain gang, whose members would attack the protagonist without hesitation whenever they saw him in the city for the foreseeable future.

So wherever the protagonist controlled by Bamboo Star goes, chaos ensues.

The profits from this were substantial; the protagonist, controlled by Zhu Youxing, quickly amassed millions of US dollars.

Using the game's house purchase system, Zhu Youxing bought a large house in a bustling neighborhood in Free City.

"Wow, why do I suddenly feel like crying? All this hard work and struggle is just to be able to buy a house in the city!"

"It's really quite moving; I never expected to see such a realistic scene in a game."

"Look, look! After buying the house, you can even decorate it yourself. This game has so much content!"

"What's the point of decorating? I'm a construction worker, and I'm sick of it every day. I don't want to do that job in a game."
