Chapter 690: OB Learns Techniques
Many streamers said, "Since the Immortal Server is full of subtle aimbots, and the officials haven't announced any bans, if I use a subtle aimbot to play on the Immortal Server, I'm not hurting anyone, right?"
"I'm not deceiving my audience, I'm not bullying regular players, and I'm not getting my account banned by the officials. Using a subtle aimbot to play on the Immortal Server and showing the audience its style—what's wrong with that?"
Nothing wrong at all!
Of course, some more traditional viewers still couldn't accept this, and many people were cursing, but for the streamers, it didn't matter at all because there was nothing to criticize!
Players criticized Tian Chong and others because they cheated but refused to admit it. But these guys using subtle aimbots on the Immortal Server admitted from the start that they were cheating... and even explained the cheat functions very clearly...
Qin An watched a few streams of the Immortal Server and felt speechless.
What a scam!
Thinking about it carefully, his own stream now had little appeal. The main issue was that a large number of streamers suddenly appeared broadcasting the Immortal Server. As a new streamer with no resources and no recommended slots, it was definitely hard to stand out.
Moreover, Qin An's eloquence was average. Playing on the Immortal Server required intense focus, so he couldn't crack jokes. His showmanship was far inferior to those streamers who were full of witty banter.
"No, I need to emphasize that I'm playing on the Immortal Server without cheating."
Qin An thought for a moment. He had to differentiate himself from other streams. Others either entered the game to observe (OB) or used subtle aimbots on the Immortal Server, but he was relying on real skill!
Qin An changed his stream title to "Playing on the Immortal Server Without Cheating" and continued playing.
"Now there should be some viewers, right?" Qin An muttered to himself.
...
Changing the stream title did help a bit. By the time he went offline in the afternoon, he had a few dozen followers, and the peak number of viewers in his stream had reached over two hundred.
However, Qin An wasn't sure if there was any inflated data from the streaming platform. The chat messages weren't very active...
The Moyu Streaming Platform was indeed a big platform. Even an unsigned small streamer could get some traffic.
During Qin An's stream that day, quite a few viewers entered his room, but most left after a quick look.
"Streamer, why aren't you talking? A mute streamer?"
"Playing on the Immortal Server without cheating? Bro, your aim looks fake. Are you lying?"
"Are you sure this is the Immortal Server? I can't see any difference from the regular server."
"Streamer, you're saying you kill four or five on the Immortal Server without cheating and make it into the top twenty? Damn, keep bragging. I'm out."
"I feel like this is just the regular server... and the streamer's skill seems average. He's just running around randomly. I can't figure out what he's trying to do."
There were also some viewers who believed Qin An, but they were the minority...
Qin An felt helpless. The main issue was that he couldn't explain this kind of thing. So, when he went offline, he just told everyone his daily streaming schedule and then shut down the stream.
Scrolling through the chat messages from his stream, Qin An understood the current problem.
First, when playing on the Immortal Server, he had to stay highly focused and couldn't talk. Many big streamers had to keep up a constant stream of witty banter for showmanship. Being able to play silently and still attract many viewers was a privilege reserved for professional players.
A small streamer with few followers, playing a game without explaining or analyzing their strategy—how could they expect many viewers?
Second, the viewers didn't believe him...
Other streamers broadcasting the Immortal Server either observed the AI in the server or cheated themselves. Combined with humorous commentary and a certain level of popularity, viewers could confirm it was the Immortal Server.
But Qin An couldn't prove that he was playing on the Immortal Server...
Because the Immortal Server and the regular server were almost identical. The AI were all disguised as real players. The only difference was that the battles were more brutal.
But unfortunately, Qin An's skill had reached a level where he could perfectly blend into the Immortal Server. He wouldn't die immediately upon landing. He deliberately avoided risks and only engaged in gunfights when he was confident. So, viewers couldn't see how strong the enemies were.
Some even thought Qin An was probably playing on the regular server or cheating on the Immortal Server. Otherwise, how could a normal person blend into the Immortal Server without cheating? That was unscientific!
If someone could really fight against cheaters with their own skill alone, would they be just an unknown small streamer? Impossible.
So, Qin An was stuck in an awkward vicious cycle. Because he wasn't famous, viewers didn't believe him, and because viewers didn't believe him, his stream remained unpopular...
Qin An returned home, eating instant noodles while worrying.
"What should I do? Get the officials to prove I'm playing on the Immortal Server? Not likely. I don't have that kind of influence."
"Cheat first during a stream to prove I was placed in the Immortal Server? Can't afford it... cheats are too expensive."
"Duo queue with a big streamer? Forget it. Why would they bother with me..."
Qin An suddenly realized he had a very tricky problem: he couldn't prove he was playing on the Immortal Server...
He wanted to stream on the regular server, but as he said, he didn't have money to buy accounts...
Things were at a standstill.
"Forget it. I'll stop overthinking and just stream slowly. I already have some followers. As long as viewers watch more, they'll gradually confirm this is the Immortal Server."
Qin An thought about it but couldn't find a quick solution. He had no fame or connections, so he had to take it slow.
Still, Qin An was optimistic. He firmly believed that as his fan base grew, he would become known as the "streamer who plays on the Immortal Server without cheating."
Qin An opened the Moyu Streaming Platform and continued watching OB streams of the Immortal Server.
There were several similar streams. Qin An opened them all and switched between them.
These streamers all had similar routines. They played solo in four-player squads, matching with teammates, which increased the chance of encountering high-level AI.
Qin An's skill was now quite good, so he could roughly judge the level of the "players" (AI) the streamers were observing.
When he saw particularly skilled "players" (AI), Qin An carefully observed their tactics. Since he spent a lot of time on the Immortal Server, he wanted to see how his opponents thought, so he could learn a lot for future matches.
"Hmm? Moving to this position at this time? That's interesting. Is he trying to intercept those two coming from the west? Choosing this spot... not bad. The field of view is pretty good."
Qin An analyzed as he watched, feeling quite inspired.
