"That's because you're a construction worker. But for those of us who've never done this kind of work, it's so cool! In real life, renovating a house usually takes months, but in the game, it only costs a little money and takes a few minutes. It's much more interesting than real life!"

"It feels so satisfying to personally furnish my own little home!"

After the home renovation was completed, Zhu Youxing did not rest. Instead, he took out his phone and started contacting a woman he had recently added.

She was a woman who had registered on a dating website. Zhu Youxing contacted her and started dating her, and then quickly took her to his home to do some private things.

"Bad review, why doesn't this game have this detail?"

"If you want to see this detail, you can play it yourself. Showing this detail on a live stream is really risking your life."

"Huh? You mean there's actually this detail in the game?"

"Of course! I've already played with them all!"

The next second, hundreds of viewers left the live stream, and the reason is self-evident.

Chapter 1005 The American Dream?

1005

Game making is a unique discipline.

Players crave realism, but they don't want it to be as dull and boring as reality.

Therefore, certain trade-offs must be made during the game development process.

The first thing to discard will inevitably be the long and boring content.

Driving-related tasks should ideally not exceed ten minutes on average.

If it's a task like part-time work, it's best to simplify it as much as possible.

There's also buying a house, decorating, running errands...

Like reality, yet completely different from reality.

In reality, completing a task is never an easy process.

However, in games, things can be simplified, with only a very brief process provided, and the rest is the reward.

This will give players a great sense of satisfaction.

However, there are always some outliers in various games, such as Euro Truck Simulator, which almost perfectly replicates the process of driving a big truck in real life.

However, such games can only exist in a very niche market, and they are often only popular within a small circle, making it difficult for most players to accept them.

However, whether one accepts it or not, sometimes when a game becomes popular, there are bound to be players who buy it just to follow the trend. This can be considered part of the sales, but it cannot be used as a standard to recognize the quality of the game.

Nico, the protagonist of GTA: Liberty City Chapters, continues his American life through a live stream on Bamboo Star.

Occasionally, he needs to deal with the creditors harassing his cousin Nico, help him evade gambling debts, and sometimes do dirty work for other creditors.

For most people, this kind of dirty work is obviously impossible to encounter in real life, but the experience in the game makes them feel quite novel.

All of this took a turn during a sudden event.

In the game, the protagonist Nico's cousin's girlfriend cheated on him.

All his cousin could do was get drunk and complain to the protagonist, Nico.

Nico's temper wasn't exactly great, and in the end, he couldn't stand his cousin's rambling complaints any longer, so he dragged his cousin to find the person who had cheated on him and get revenge.

The person Nico cheated on him with happened to be Nico's cousin's creditor, so Nico simply decided to go all the way and eliminate the creditor.

Then, Nico's cousin was arrested by the big boss above the creditor, and Nico was forced to confront the situation again during this process.

To avoid being killed along with his cousin, he has to work for the new boss.

Then, the cycle repeats itself again and again.

He did all sorts of dirty work, but his career never really took off.

Gradually, the viewers watching Zhuyouxing's live stream also noticed something was wrong.

"Seriously, is this really a story about pursuing the American dream? Why is this story so bleak? They've clearly tried their best to do things, but they keep hitting roadblocks and things just get worse."

The main storyline in the game is also quite enjoyable.

But the whole story is inexplicably frustrating.

The protagonist, Nico, is neither a hero nor a wealthy man.

Even if you acquire unlimited money in the game through various means, it will not change the main storyline.

In the main storyline, you still have to face this world step by step.

This is the reality for people surviving in the cracks, and also the reality of the American Dream.

After that, the protagonist Nico in the game finally found one of the surviving comrades through various means. After a confrontation, it was discovered that this comrade was not the traitor. So, the only remaining surviving comrade was the other one.

Only he could be the true traitor.

After that, Nico found another traitor through some special channels, and even brought him to the United States, where he personally confronted this guy who had killed more than a dozen comrades. At this point, the game presented a choice.

Should we kill this traitor, or not?

At this moment, Zhu Youxing did not rush to make a choice. Instead, he put down the controller for the first time and quietly watched the heated debate that was developing in the discussion area.

This traitor was indeed the culprit who caused the deaths of twelve comrades.

The reason he did this was quite ridiculous.

Because he was influenced by drugs and had a conflict with a teammate, he impulsively and angrily betrayed everyone for a mere few thousand dollars.

This reason was unacceptable to all the audience members present.

At this moment, Zhu Youxing's live stream room has gathered over a million people.

These millions of people are all real, living people.

Over the past few days, most people have finally realized that the person currently live-streaming is none other than Zhu Youxing himself.

Because apart from Zhu Youxing himself, Facebook Live would never give any other streamer this unique recommendation treatment.

Even the top-tier streamers can't do it.

That's why players flocked to this live stream.

Some of them didn't come to see the game at first; they were just on a pilgrimage or came out of curiosity. They were curious why such a big shot as Zhu Youxing would have so much free time to play games.

However, this also makes the majority of players feel very close to the company, feeling that Bamboo Star is quite approachable and not like a big capitalist.

Soon, Zhu Youxing's popularity reached its peak on Facebook. Even without official recommendations, the popularity of Zhu Youxing's live stream was undeniable.

The comments from these millions of people in the discussion forum are now flooding the screen at an alarming rate. The speed of the comments is so fast that it is difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. Only by using artificial intelligence to capture keywords and simplify unnecessary repetitive content can Zhu Youxing barely make out the topics being discussed.

The result was that almost everyone was unable to forgive the traitor's actions.

It's not just because the traitor's actions are unforgivable, but also because the reasons behind his betrayal are unacceptable.

"This kind of person deserves to die!"

"He must be killed! He can never be forgiven."

It seems that most players, or rather most people, have empathy.

So, Zhu Youxing picked up the controller and slowly pressed the trigger.

Then came a real-time rendered video clip.

The protagonist, Nico, holds a pistol and fires shot at the traitor.

He fired a total of twelve shots, each shot representing a tribute to his fallen comrades.

After the final twelve shots were fired, the traitor was left with only his last breath.

At this moment, the traitor felt no remorse, no sadness, and no anger.

His expression conveyed a sense of relief.

"Thank you."

The traitor used his last strength to utter his final line before slowly collapsing to the ground.

As the traitor fell to the ground and died, the frequency of comments from viewers in the live stream's discussion area suddenly decreased.

Of the millions of people, no more than a thousand have spoken at this moment.

The remaining spectators and players remained silent.

The traitor is dead, but a sense of emptiness lingers in my heart.

This feeling is indescribably uncomfortable.

There was no sense of satisfaction from revenge. It's not that revenge is unpleasant, but there was a genuine emptiness in my heart after it was over.

At this moment, all the audience members seemed to have completely immersed themselves in the character of Nico.

The American Dream.

At this moment, the word came to mind for many people.

But this word now seems very pale and powerless.

Chapter 1006: Extremely High Praise

On the game review website run by Kazuo Murakami, GTA: Chapters of Liberty City is the most recently featured review article on the homepage.

The article begins by explaining how to play the game.

Kazuo Murakami called it crossing an era once again.

This era is one that most companies can hardly catch up with.

Let's just talk about AI computing.

Youxing Electronics Entertainment has already begun its strategic planning, and through early investments, AI-related industries have started to support Youxing Electronics Entertainment's game development.

The efficiency improvements, whether in programming or graphic design, are significant.

This is something that not every company can do.
