Chapter 92: Chapter 54: Breaking Defense Made it to Thunderbolt Trending! High-Quality Secondary Creation Adds Another Blow!_2

The anchor couldn’t continue playing when there was no popularity; after all, it’s a profession that feeds you, and no one’s going to stick around broadcasting your game every day without viewers.

Up until now, the game had only sold 4000 copies, and the refund rate was also displayed in real-time on the game detail page. As soon as players saw the 70% refund rate, without saying much, they’d shiver with fright, then scram from the page as if rolling and crawling away.

After some reflection, Ke Jin discovered:

I’m about to become invincible!

This isn’t being faced by a dragon anymore; this is the face riding on a dragon!

"Tsk, which game should I start with after I get the ultimate gift pack?"

Better start with Final Fantasy; Tifa is still fragrant. And with the Perfect Adaptive Modulator that comes with the gift pack, can’t I patch her with lots of costume mods?

I don’t want the nude apron set!

Then there’s the Battlefield series. Haven’t been a bottom-feeding player for a long time; the itch... ah, the crawling itch is kicking in.

"By the way, the two-part outdoor survival series can also be moved up the schedule."

After all, after playing for 1000 hours, the princess is still not rescued. Just fussing around finding Koroks, Zelda must be so downtrodden, trapped in that castle for so long, living each day in fear and washing her face with tears, right?

Thinking about this, Ke Jin clenched his fist in anger.

Damn! I’m really not a good person at all! Thinking about rescuing the princess while hunting for Koroks, what would the Koroks think if they saw that?

I really want to punch myself!

No wonder I didn’t collect them all in 1000 hours!

What?

You say Mr. Ke is recklessly making games without considering Blue Star gamers’ audience, not caring whether they like it or not?

What’s a Blue Star gamer?

And what’s an audience?

I am the player! I make games for myself to enjoy!

What era is it still playing traditional Blue Star games; I’ll play for my own enjoyment first!

Yes, our Mr. Ke is already researching how to play the new version after getting the gift pack!

However.

Unbeknownst to Ke Jin.

Something terrible was happening!

Just after a stable first day had passed.

The second day.

A second-creation video titled "Smooth as Silk, But It’s Wind Traveler" quietly began storming Thunderbolt’s trending search!

The UP was clever to avoid the shortcomings.

They knew the ’narrative-based game’ tag almost had no views.

So they switched to more popular tags like ’heartbreak’, ’tearjerker’, ’smooth as silk’, ’Yin’ and so on.

Especially ’smooth as silk,’ this tag was on fire lately on Thunderbolt.

Although the lyrics of the original song were poorly written, the melody was quite melodious, and with many amazing second-creation misheard covers, it directly boosted the song’s popularity.

Then, it began to frequently appear in various videos, becoming the background music of the moment.

In the end, everyone gradually got used to and accepted this plain-lyric song.

You say Wind Traveler, I don’t know much about it, nor do I want to find out.

But you say ’smooth as silk’, and I just smack clicked my way in, right?

The video was just a one or two-minute Yin livestream edit presented with a BGM, a video production style popular on major video platforms in recent years.

As the prelude started, the video showed Yin just opening Wind Traveler during the livestream.

At this moment, the audience didn’t know what they were about to face.

They all laughed and sent barrage comments.

"The smoothest episode ever!"

"As a kid, I slid into unconsciousness watching this."

"Yo, isn’t that Yin? Has Yin started the smooth ride?"

"Bandwidth saving: there’s a knife"

"Smooth as silk with a knife? Bet not!"

Soon, the background music started.

♪ I drunkenly wander the frosty mountainside, snowflakes filling the sky ♪

♪ With each cold breath and the wind’s sudden turn, the wine’s scattered over hills and rivers ♪

As the first few lyrics were sung, the video quickly switched scenes in a narrative style.

It showed how Yin met his brother in the game, how they accompanied each other.

It showed how Yin took great pains to teach his brother to fly, also a clip where the brother was desperately waiting for Yin to return in the deep pit ruins.

Because almost every swiftly passing scene in the video was beautiful enough to be used as a wallpaper.

It instantly caught the attention of many viewers, and the barrage comments began to sparsely drift by.

"What game is this? Nice graphics."

"Speaking of, who’s that adorable dummy next to Yin? Looks so foolishly cute, I happened to miss the stream yesterday, so I’ll just take this as an express version of the replay."

At this point, the background music in the video slowly progressed.

♪ Looking up to blue water amidst the clouds, a fluttering bird descends to the earth ♪

♪ With just a glance, I find myself in front of the mountain ♪

The screen, too, unfolded content in sync with the lyrics.

In the game’s second level, the pink ’sea,’ looking up reveals a clear blue sky, a Sacred Mountain standing nearby, and Yin and his brother are riding on kite-like birds, soaring through the skies.

It has to be said, the UP’s profound editing skills made for a perfect match between the imagery and the lyrics.

Making the viewers immerse themselves even more.

"Wow! Such a beautiful pink sea!"

"Yin flying with his brother is so heartwarming!"

"Just looking at this scene warms my heart."

"What a pleasure, you can see Yin in the video smiling so happily. It’s a shame I wasn’t there live."

Soon, the lyrics moved into the third section.

The video’s imagery also abruptly transitioned!

♪ Look at the snowflakes scattering, the delicate white view changing ♪
