Chapter 706: Chapter 218: Xinlin is Getting Fatter!_1

"Mr. Ke, the list of products gifted to us by last month’s peripheral partner is here, and all the peripherals intended for the players have already been sent out in batches, but there’s an extra top-notch complete PC setup that hasn’t been sent yet."

The weather from March to April, in the central region of Huaxia Nation, in Jianglin, was gradually reviving.

Qiao Yuan, wearing a standard spring outfit for office ladies, drew a piece of paper from the folder she was carrying and handed it to Ke Jin.

After a quick glance, Ke Jin nodded in acknowledgement.

Ever since Eternity, the top player has had an endless stream of collaborations with various peripheral brands, and these merchants were very shrewd.

Each month, they would regularly send over a batch of peripherals for free, and most of them were new products just hitting the market, with the obvious intention of letting the players experience their products.

If the product feels comfortable, naturally, they would help to advertise it and recommend it to other friends around them.

Ke Jin had once stipulated that these peripherals must be sent out each month strictly according to the requirements, accurately and without error, to players who meet the corresponding criteria.

It could be either as a reward for reaching a certain division in online games with ranking systems like Eternity and Pubg.

Or for players who created high-quality derivative works or crafted elite strategy posts on the "First-class affairs" resource site.

All had a chance to obtain peripherals or other rewards.

Under the generous reward system, the activity on the "First-class affairs" resource site grew increasingly higher, and compared to the Thunderbolt site which developed a diverse ecosystem.

"First-class affairs" focuses more on the gaming domain, with a high degree of specialization and a precise and clear user profile.

It even spawned the latest high-quality derivative work, "First-class affairs."

However, this time, Huashuo, who collaborated with the top player, sent over a few extra complete top-of-the-line ROG PCs.

These PCs hadn’t hit the shelves yet—they were for players to experience ahead of others.

Even after all the designated rewards had been distributed, there was still one PC left over.

"I heard that little Miss Ke has recently been complaining that her home computer seems to be lagging a bit in performance and is considering getting a new one... Mr. Ke, what do you think about giving her the extra one?" Qiao Yuan suggested with a smile.

Ke Yu was extremely popular in the company, and she was young, almost being the darling of the company wouldn’t be an overstatement.

Whenever there were extra perks in the company, everyone’s first thought was to save it for Baby Yu.

Who could refuse a beautiful, sweet-voiced, kind, lively, and talented girl?

"Forget it, she can buy whatever she wants herself, it’s not like she doesn’t have the money." Ke Jin rejected Qiao Yuan’s suggestion mercilessly and then said, "Let’s do this instead, send the extra computer to a streamer."

"A streamer? Which one?"

"It’s someone called..., just a small streamer, not very famous." Ke Jin waved his hand indifferently, then took out a card for writing messages to fans from the drawer, wrote a few words, and handed it to Qiao Yuan, "Send this along with it for me."

The recipient Ke Jin had in mind for this PC was a streamer he stumbled upon while browsing various gaming live-streams last week.

The streamer sounded like a young man who had just come of age, playing Elden Ring with not much popularity.

In the game, he played as the Wretch, repeatedly clashing with the Big Tree Guardian, but he was so inept at playing that even the basic dodge seemed half a beat too slow.

Yet, he was very persistent, facing death again and again to retry the challenge, maintaining a steady and composed mindset.

Many viewers couldn’t stand it, taking a look and leaving soon after.

Ke Jin was curious, so he stayed in the live stream and chatted with the young man for a while.

When Ke Jin suggested that bypassing the Big Tree Guardian to level up and improve gear elsewhere would make for a better gaming experience,

The streamer responded with a comment that silenced Ke Jin.

The young man said, "Playing this way allows me to stream for longer, so I can receive the basic reward from the streaming platform because I can’t afford any other games. Besides, isn’t Elden Ring really popular recently? Maybe if more viewers watch, I could earn a few extra bucks."

"Adding the streaming reward, that’s my living expenses."

Ke Jin went on to check the streaming platform’s basic reward.

It was about streaming continuously for a week, and for over four hours a day, one could earn 10 yuan a week.

In this day and age, to see someone struggling just to survive at the very bottom was something Ke Jin found hard to articulate for a long while.

After watching a bit more and chatting with the young man,

The young man turned his camera on, and Ke Jin fell completely silent.

In the bottom right corner of the screen, the environment he was living in was particularly poor. The table he used for streaming was an old, even peeling, wooden one that creaked during the game.

The floor behind him was the kind of cement that many rural households wouldn’t use anymore.

Moreover, the computer’s specs were not great, making the game stutter.

What moved Ke Jin the most was

This young man was a person with a disability.

Having lost both arms, he was at the moment laboriously using his mouth to manipulate a pair of chopsticks to control the somewhat dirty-looking mouse, and then using his toes to operate the keyboard, engaged in a contest with the Big Tree Guardian.

That’s why at the beginning when the streamer hadn’t turned on the camera, Ke Jin had always felt his operations were particularly clumsy.

Dodging, attacking, jumping—all commands were always half a beat too slow.
