Chapter 448: Chapter 156: The Players Are Blown Away! Does this damn game company really hate seeing us spend money?_1

The night was deep.

Zhang Heng sat in front of the computer, having just finished a video review of "Cloud Top."

As one of the earliest witnesses to the rise of the top player... ahem, I mean the very first witness.

Zhang Heng had experienced the pure gaming company’s journey from the initial indifference towards "Origin of Species"

to the later ban of "Pubg" by major corporations. He had taken on a significant burden, making indelible contributions to the rebroadcast of "Pubg."

He was even dubbed the "second-generation" by the enthusiasts, a title that brought him a considerable influx of traffic.

The formerly declining view counts, along with the barely over one million follower count, also improved after producing a series of videos about the top player’s games.

As of today, Zhang Heng’s Thunderbolt account "Zhang Talks Games" has crazily risen to 3 million followers.

Each video consistently breaks 2 million+ views

focusing almost exclusively on games related to the top player.

From doing play-testing reviews for new games to developing more and more strategies for them, he analyzed the gaming tactics.

Then came one or two round-up summaries, from the philosophy behind the game design to the spirit conveyed by the games.

Even when some games sparked societal responses, why they attracted such attention,

he would thoroughly explain to his viewers in the videos, digging into the underlying logic.

Thanks to his high level of focus and the extensive research Zhang Heng did before making each video,

he was almost considered the exclusive UP owner for the top player, to the point where many fans developed a habit.

If they wanted to know about the top player’s recent new works, watching "Zhang Talks Games" was definitely the right choice.

Thanks to the top player, Zhang Heng’s life improved significantly.

From a time when his wife and child were closely strapped for cash, he had now switched to an Audi A3, and the small suburban flat inherited from his parents was long sold for a large three-bedroom apartment in the city center.

Although not particularly wealthy, he was now considered middle-class within his small town and led a prosperous life.

Of course, Zhang Heng knew how to repay a debt of gratitude.

Although he always claimed to be the spiritual shareholder of the top player in his videos, asserting that the top player’s success today was in part thanks to him, even suggesting their lead designer owed him a kowtow,

"If it wasn’t for ’Origin of Species’ blah blah blah," "Your Baby Ke might have failed during the creation of their first game blah blah blah"... He had mentioned this countless times on live streams, and many viewers’ ears had calloused over.

However, Zhang Heng knew these were just jokes said in jest.

In reality, the top player was his benefactor, and it was a favor he could not turn back on him.

If there were no Ke Jin, no top player,

he himself would not be where he is today.

To repay!

To repay thoroughly!

Zhang Heng’s method of repayment was very direct.

Whether in his videos or during live streams,

he would extensively promote the top player’s profoundly conscionable consumption system, encouraging players to spend liberally within the top player’s games.

Whenever the top player designed various abstract interfaces for consumption,

he would be the first to stand up for the top player, interpreting Ke Jin’s thoughts from various perspectives.

But his conclusions always boiled down to "Baby Ke is considering the players!" "Where else can you find such a conscientious game company?" "Don’t mind the details, spend more."

And he would lead by example, always managing to spend a hefty sum of ten or eighteen thousand on each game.

"Ah... Pull it back, pull it back." Just as he clicked to upload the video, Zhang Heng hastily muttered a retraction and slapped his forehead.

Just look at me.

Noticing that I’m over thirty, as you get older, you start to forget more, huh.

How could I forget to tout the indispensable consumption system in every episode?

Let me see what’s available to spend on in this round of "Cloud Top."

And add it to the video!

Do my utmost to pull in a wave of revenue for the top player!

While opening the "Cloud Top" store, Zhang Heng stood up to make himself a cup of coffee.

Though drinking this stuff while pulling all-nighters isn’t good for the health.

But it can’t be helped, when it’s late at night and all is quiet, thoughts flow more freely.

When Zhang Heng came back to the computer after making his coffee,

he was momentarily taken aback.

"This store interface... why won’t it load?"

How long has it been?

Several minutes, right?

Is my internet connection broken?

He opened a few other web pages.

And casually clicked on several videos.

The network was fine; the videos loaded at lightning speeds.

But after refreshing the store and waiting a while longer,

there was still no response.

"This is quite strange..."

Zhang Heng smacked his lips, and while waiting for the store to load, he simply opened the top player’s information APP to see if there were any latest news.

He shouldn’t have looked.

At first glance, he saw the "Little Gwen" skin being promoted on the home page.

After clicking to view the preview CG of Gwen’s skin,

Zhang Heng’s eyes widened suddenly.

Yessir!

I’ve found the point to stimulate player spending!

This skin! This level of cuteness!

Who wouldn’t be charmed?

More importantly, the top player was considerate enough to disclose the odds on their official website.

Five yuan per draw, and in roughly ten to twenty tries, you could get it.

Yep, as conscientious as always!

"Let’s do this one first then!"

Zhang Heng hastily began re-editing the video and inserted a segment of Gwen’s skin CG at the end of the video, adding it to the daily recommendation section.
