Chapter 323: The Instant Kill Hack
Zhang Yu was also somewhat puzzled. He took out his phone and entered the homepage of the Moyu live streaming platform.
As soon as he entered, he froze. What the hell? Chen Mo’s livestream had 670,000 viewers? Already number one?
Zhang Yu sent a message: “What’s going on? Chen Mo only had a cooperative relationship with us before. He’s not one of our signed streamers. There’s no need to give him fake data.”
Soon, the other party replied: “President Zhang, no fake data. There really are that many people watching!”
Zhang Yu: “…”
In fact, the Moyu platform did have a few streamers with millions of viewers, but the problem was what day it was today—New Year’s Day!
How many big streamers would be broadcasting on New Year’s Day?
Even if some were streaming, they’d mostly be doing outdoor content, not many playing games. After all, big streamers were considered notable figures. They might work hard on normal days, but during the New Year, they’d want to rest.
However, the number of viewers on New Year’s Day was far from small. Many people had nothing to do at home and were all playing games or watching streams.
Coupled with Chen Mo’s strong influence in his fan groups, he directly dominated the charts. Without any recommended slots or data manipulation, he became the livestream with the most viewers on the entire Moyu platform.
Zhang Yu reacted quickly and immediately sent a message: “Give him a homepage recommendation and send an app notification. Write: ‘League of Legends designer Chen Mo shows off god-level plays!’ Promote it!”
Having run a live streaming platform for years, Zhang Yu understood many issues far better than ordinary platform staff.
Although Chen Mo hadn’t signed a contract with the Moyu platform, he was a public figure who could stand on equal footing with, or even surpass, the platform itself.
After launching one classic game after another, and following the live streaming incidents with Warcraft and Onmyoji, Chen Mo’s influence among players far exceeded that of any current popular streamer. Everyone knew this clearly.
Even though Chen Mo was streaming on the Moyu platform, his position was completely different from those streamers. Those streamers had to carefully please the audience and manage their relationship with the platform, treating it as a means of making a living.
But Chen Mo didn’t need to. He was in a completely carefree state. He didn’t have to worry about the audience’s or the platform’s opinions. It was the audience who had to beg him to stream.
Just like now. Chen Mo hadn’t turned on his camera or microphone. He didn’t say a word. He just quietly played the game. Yet, he had already attracted a massive audience, showing his powerful appeal to players.
Zhang Yu wouldn’t dare to haggle over prices or negotiate terms with Chen Mo like he would with other streamers. To the Moyu platform, Chen Mo was like a god of wealth. They had to treat him well, not offend him!
Sending a few promotional messages and putting him on the homepage recommendation was both a gesture of goodwill toward Chen Mo and a way to further boost the popularity of the Moyu platform itself.
…
In Chen Mo’s livestream, various bullet comments continued to flood the screen.
“He’s on the homepage recommendation! 6666!”
“Wow, this popularity is explosive! First time streaming, and the viewer count is heading straight for a million?”
“I bet if S-God streams until 10 p.m., no one else stands a chance. Today, the Moyu platform will be monopolized by S-God alone!”
“I just got notified and rushed in. Someone’s streaming League of Legends? Who’s Chen Mo?”
“The guy above doesn’t know who Chen Mo is? How embarrassing! Is there a room admin? Give him a permanent ban!”
Chen Mo’s Anivia had already achieved a 5-0-2 record.
Using the ice wall to block paths and control positioning, landing the Q skill accurately, and finishing with the E skill for a kill.
In key team fights, the ultimate slowed three enemies, and he picked them off one by one.
This Anivia, with the blue buff, was like a soaring death god. By the mid-to-late game, whenever he encountered someone, using R and E would leave them critically injured, and a second ice shard would finish them off.
This led to many bullet comments asking:
“Did Chen Mo install an instant kill hack?”
“Mom, this Anivia is different from the one I play!”
“It feels like Chen Mo and I aren’t playing the same champion. Why does his damage seem so high?”
“I feel like Chen Mo is playing a phoenix, while I’m just playing a chicken!”
“The enemy team’s game experience is terrible! They have to report this! Silent is using a hack! An instant kill hack!”
This match ended without any suspense.
Chen Mo glanced at Li Jingsi: “How is it? Need a break?”
Li Jingsi shook her head: “No need. It’s not difficult at all. I’m just feeling a bit bored.”
It was true. Both of them had a foundation in Warcraft, with fast hand speed and reactions. At this rank, they could crush opponents with pure mechanics, so it wasn’t very interesting.
Chen Mo smiled and continued queuing.
…
Soon, players began to notice that Li Jingsi’s performance seemed unusually good.
“Every match is a stomp?”
“We just started ranked, and everyone’s still in low elo. Playing like this in a fish pond isn’t that impressive, right?”
“But it feels like Chen Mo isn’t even trying hard! And the later matches are clearly against more skilled players.”
“Have you noticed? That Vayne on Chen Mo’s team is fierce. It seems like she never gets fewer than six kills? S-God doesn’t show her perspective much, but I feel like she always crushes the bottom lane?”
“S-God is going too far! The enemy’s carries aren’t on the same level as ours. How are they supposed to play?”
“That ID is Throne? I just noticed. It’s the same ID that just topped the Warcraft rankings. Could it be… the same person?”
“No way. I remember this account. Wasn’t Chen Mo’s disastrous Tryndamere game duo-queued with this account? You can still check the match history. That time, this account also played Vayne and went 9-1. Who remembers?”
“What? Wasn’t there a recording back then? They said Chen Mo was carrying a girl? This is a girl? Are you kidding me with this international joke???”
“Chen Mo, you shameless bastard! Carrying a girl on New Year’s Day! You have to explain yourself!”
…
There were many bullet comments, but Chen Mo didn’t read them.
Every ranked match was fast, usually ending within 30 minutes at most.
Chen Mo and Li Jingsi played until around 7 p.m. and finally finished their placement matches.
Ten wins in a row. Both accounts were directly placed in Platinum 5.
Chen Mo typed on the screen: “Going offline. See you all.”
Instantly, the screen was filled with question marks.
“What the hell? I was just getting into it, and you’re going offline? Chen Mo, come out! I swear I won’t kill you!”
“Ahhh, I just entered the stream! Play a couple more matches before you leave!”
“Yeah, there are so many viewers tonight. Can you bear to ditch us? Play a couple more!”
“Don’t go, S-God!”
Chen Mo had already closed the streaming software.
Li Jingsi took off her headphones: “I have to go back. My mom’s waiting for me to eat. She’s already urged me twice. Let’s play again next time.”
