I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!
Chapter 680 - 210: Lake Liyeniya! Crab Bro and Shrimp Bro!_2

Chapter 680: Chapter 210: Lake Liyeniya! Crab Bro and Shrimp Bro!_2

Just knew that a big patron had dropped some cash.

And the task was simply to distribute posts like "Elden low-price region purchase tutorial" and "Still buying games at full price? Poor bros are in for a treat! Today a good brother teaches everyone a smuggling method!" that’s it.

This was much simpler than the whitewashing, soft advertising, and marketing hype tasks I usually take on.

It even felt somewhat conscionable.

After all, what was the purpose of posting these? Wasn’t it to allow fellow poor gamers to afford the games?

Thinking about it this way.

We, the paid posters, could actually benefit the masses one day?

OMG!

A sense of mission instantly surged through me, didn’t it!

Of course, spreading the news also took time.

While it’s possible to use a large sum of money for a massive outburst of paid posters to let most players know the news immediately.

That would be too conspicuous after all.

When a new game just launched, a game company naturally hopes it’ll sell well.

And then out of nowhere, a bunch of people start fiercely urging others to get the game from the low-price region.

If the first player saw such news and did nothing, would they just watch as their income decreased?

Clearly, that wouldn’t make sense.

And if the top player dealt with it, then wouldn’t the money I spent be wasted?

One second marketing, the next second forced to counteract the marketing.

Pushing a rebellious image, right?

Therefore, Ke Jin didn’t spend a fortune right on the first or second day.

Instead, he chose to have his paid posters tirelessly, continuously push the low-price region in a slow and steady manner.

Ensuring that for the next 29 days, the information about the low-price region could be continuously outputted.

As word of mouth spread amongst many, it would surely drive a group of players towards the low-price region.

Within days of the release of Elden Ring.

Due to the game’s high quality and innovative gameplay that Blue Star gamers had never heard of before.

The game continued to break into the mainstream.

It dominated the top spots in the hot searches.

Not just in gaming communities.

Even in the field of short videos targeting the general public.

Just a little swipe and you’d get content recommendations related to "Elden."

It was definitely a hot topic.

Of course, what contributed to this situation,

besides the game being fun to play,

was the unexpected showmanship it brought to various streamers.

Many streamers discovered.

That they didn’t need to rack their brains for showmanship with this game.

The inherent showmanship of the game itself was more than enough.

No matter how long the streamers played, no matter how well they understood the game,

Unexpected scenes would always occur.

And sometimes, they’d happen in the next second.

Turning a streamer who was showing off one second into a flash in the pan the next.

Either they were attracted by the complex and ingenious architecture,

or they were stunned by the grand visuals.

The showmanship was maxed out.

That’s why streamers went out of their way to broadcast this game.

After all, some games are fun, but they’re only suitable for one to play slowly by themselves.

And "Elden" not only was fun but also demonstrated strong visual appeal.

It’s no exaggeration to say.

In those days.

As long as someone was a streamer and they were streaming Elden Ring.

They would definitely have an audience.

Even if a streamer went live without speaking, there would still be at least dozens of live viewers silently watching in the stream.

And top streamers attracted massive popularity through this game.

"So beautiful, really beautiful," Yin’s live stream.

To keep the popularity going longer, he chose a carpet-style exploration to also extend the playtime.

Yesterday, he explored Nimgreifu, Sobs Peninsula, and Stonewell all day long on the live stream.

Today, after going live, he prepared to head to the next area.

Standing on the cliff behind Stonewell Castle, looking out into the distance,

he could see almost the entire junction area.

He couldn’t help but exclaim,

"According to the concept previously shown by ’Elden,’ doesn’t this open world mean that everywhere the eye can see is accessible?"

"If that’s really the case, then it’s way too strong."

"At least I’ve never experienced this kind of vast and boundless sensation in any other game."

"Some games look like they have a huge scene with mountains, rivers, and lakes in the distance, but all of those are just background textures, you can’t actually go there."

After leaving behind a piece of advice titled "Spectacular Views Ahead".

Yin summoned his spirit horse and started heading towards the next destination.

This time, the Blessing Spot pointed to an area in the northwest direction of the map.

It was a region surrounded by a lake—Lake Liyeniya.

It is said that the area’s faith was in stark contrast with the Golden Rule, following the Starry Sky Law instead.

And many scholars had glimpsed a transcendent Strength—Magic—from the Starry Sky Law.

As a result, the creatures of Lake Liyeniya all used spells to some extent.

Riding the spirit horse to Liyeniya.

The entire Liyenia looked less like a lake and more like a shallow water zone of a swampy wetland.

As soon as he arrived, Yin was given a harsh welcome by the native inhabitants.

A giant crab, twice the height of a man, emerged from the swampy mire mixed with mud.

Its body was covered in green moss and filthy sludge, and its big pincers clanked menacingly against each other.

"Damn, isn’t that my bro, Crab Bro!" Yin was stunned.

When these arthropods are small, they look delicious.

But once they grow to a certain size, they start to incite a fear of giant creatures.

And because of their large size, the sense of oppression was overwhelming.

As a result, Yin was killed right off the bat.

Fortunately, after figuring out its moves, it wasn’t that hard to fight.

Crab Bro wasn’t even an Elite Monster, and its attack patterns were fairly basic.

Basically, any player who had been tormented for a few hours by Stonewell would be more than capable of handling this after some practice.

After quickly slaying Crab Bro, Yin couldn’t help but sneer.

"That’s it?"

"I thought it would be harder."

"It seems I’ve become a Master of Divine Skill, there’s nothing left here that can hurt me."

After thinking it over, Yin added.

"At least not the small fries."

After dealing with Crab Bro, he got back on his horse and continued exploring.

Soon after, he encountered another kind of roadblock creature.

Shrimp Bro!

Just like the giant crab, Shrimp Bro was also massive in size.

But its desire to attack was much weaker than Crab Bro’s.

Moreover, maybe because the eight-legged Crab Bro could move nimbly in any direction, it seemed more oppressive.

After observing for a while,

Yin felt that Shrimp Bro was even easier.

"OK, no more talking, let’s just pull two Shrimp Bros at once and beat them together, put on a Royale with Double Shrimp show for the audience!"

While speaking, he grabbed the reins and drove Torret, quickly aggroing both Shrimp Bros at the same time.

Just as he was preparing to charge and attack,

both Shrimp Bros targeted Yin and successively squirted a jet of water from their mouths!

Before Yin could even react,

his health bar, which had been upgraded to level 25, was instantly depleted!

Staring at the suddenly grey screen displaying GAME OVER,

Yin’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared intently at the screen.

He was so astounded he couldn’t utter a word for several seconds.

All he could do was spread his hands, then look at the camera, and back at the screen again.

After several more seconds of silence,

He finally blurted out,

"Cenima... what the heck is this???"

"How did I just die? Instantly killed me??"

"This is too outrageous! Even Gerrick can’t one-shot me, and you did?"

"Like, if you Shrimp Bro have that kind of power, why don’t you go take over Stonewell Castle and achieve fame, instead of lying in this stinking ditch, playing small fry to entertain me?"

"Really damn impressed!"

This sudden turn of events, coupled with Yin’s dumbfounded expression,

blew up the show’s effect.

Countless barrages went wild, instantly filling the screen!

"Hahahaha! The boss’s expression, freakin’ hilarious!"

"Just been waiting for this moment! I’ve already seen several streamers underestimate my Shrimp Bro and learn their lesson. It’s finally Mr. Yin’s turn! What goes around comes around!"

"Honestly though, with Shrimp Bro’s fighting power, Gerrick should stop coveting that crappy Dragon Head, he should just collect a dozen more Shrimp Heads and become the King of Elden outright!"

"Is there a possibility that Gerrick can’t beat the lobster? /Dog Head with a flower "

"Sssth! Now that you mention it, seems there is some doubt there!"

"Any big spenders in the live room? Can we get an Elden Ring BVB cut to see if Gerrick can really beat Shrimp Bro! /Looking forward/ Looking forward"

"Gerrick: That’s enough! If this continues, my ancestors will be humiliated again!"
