Chapter 691: Whose Livestream Is This Anyway!
At first, Qin An kept the bullet comments on, listening to the OB streamer’s commentary, but before long, he couldn’t stand it anymore. Clearly, the streamer handling the OB and the audience in the comments didn’t understand much at all—they only spammed “666” when a “god” got a headshot kill.
“Honestly, these cheating players aren’t just good at aiming; their game sense is solid too. I never really noticed before.”
Qin An had never watched an AI’s first-person perspective before, thinking these “gods” were only good at shooting. But now, seeing their perspective, he realized their positioning and movement were also quite impressive.
This gave Qin An a new form of entertainment during his daily sessions in the cheater server—watching OB streams of the cheater server.
...
In the Mo Yu streaming platform, Zou Zhuo’s livestream room.
After several PUBG streamers like Hai Mi got taken down, a few streamers who didn’t cheat saw their popularity rise to varying degrees, and Zou Zhuo was no exception.
Now, Zou Zhuo was the third most popular streamer in the entire PUBG section. He was getting better at trash-talking, and his show’s entertainment value kept improving.
Of course, compared to other streamers, Zou Zhuo’s biggest disadvantage was his lack of skill. He got popular through low-tier game sense tutorials, trash-talking, and riding on Chen Mo’s coattails. But these factors, in turn, somewhat hindered his further growth.
He was just scraping by as a decently popular entertainment streamer; being a skill-based streamer was out of the question.
Still, the chubby guy didn’t have too many grand ambitions. He felt it was pretty good to have so many people watching his stream, and he kept starting his broadcasts on time every day. This led his old fans to exclaim, “Is this still the ‘three days, two breaks’ chubby guy?”
After finishing another game, Zou Zhuo decided to take a break and chat with the bullet comments.
“Huh? You want me to stream the cheater server?”
Zou Zhuo was surprised to find that many viewers were spamming the screen, asking him to stream the cheater server.
Zou Zhuo knew that recently, streaming the cheater server had become trendy in the PUBG section, with a bunch of streamers switching to it. Honestly, it wasn’t hard to understand—the “cheater server” concept had never existed in other games, and players were curious about what it was like inside. Was the battle of the gods exciting? So, where there’s demand, there’s opportunity, and it wasn’t strange for streamers to follow the trend and stream the cheater server.
But the problem was, streaming this stuff came with a cost...
Zou Zhuo sighed, “Folks, it’s not that I don’t want to stream the cheater server, but I can’t! Do you know how much cheater server accounts are going for now? Over 900! And it’s still rising—it’ll probably surpass the price of a normal account soon...”
“What? You say I’m a big streamer and can’t afford it? Dear viewers, Mo Yu doesn’t pay out monthly—I’m still broke right now...”
“What, ask Chen Mo to pull some strings? No way, I can’t be a special player. I absolutely won’t tarnish my pure friendship with the shopkeeper...”
Zou Zhuo was telling the truth.
It was pretty bizarre—cheater server accounts were getting more expensive by the day, almost exceeding the original price, and they were hard to find even at that price!
Because of PUBG’s anti-cheat system, only high-end custom cheats could bypass the VR gaming pod’s monitoring. So, initially, there weren’t many players who could cheat. The blatant cheats got banned, leaving even fewer players using subtle aimbots.
And those players, after catching wind of the cheater server, had mostly sold their accounts cheaply, and they were scattered who knows where.
As a result, with “streaming the cheater server” becoming a craze, not only did streamers want to buy cheater accounts to stream, but many players also wanted to buy one to experience the cheater server...
Seeing this situation, those holding cheater accounts jacked up the prices wildly. It was a complete seller’s market, so they wanted to cash in big time.
The cheat groups specializing in subtle aimbots could mass-produce these accounts, but the problem was, to mass-produce them, they first had to buy a regular account for 980...
Moreover, these cheats cost thousands or tens of thousands a month for high-end stuff. Using them to produce cheater accounts would also increase the cost a bit, right?
So, this weird situation arose: cheater server accounts were getting pricier and pricier, threatening to surpass normal accounts. Zou Zhuo wanted to stream the cheater server, but he couldn’t bear to buy an account!
It was incredibly awkward.
And Zou Zhuo knew that many streamers were already doing the cheater server thing. Jumping in himself wouldn’t add much.
“Alright, let’s start another game. We’ll talk about streaming the cheater server later. Huh? What? Damn, the shopkeeper is online!”
Just as Zou Zhuo was about to start another game, a notification popped up on his friend list: CDX was online!
Zou Zhuo was shocked. Chen Mo going online was rare, and today he happened to catch it!
He was about to send Chen Mo an invite when he saw Chen Mo instantly enter a game...
Zou Zhuo: “...”
The bullet comments in the livestream exploded. Many people camped out in the chubby guy’s stream every day just for this moment!
Zou Zhuo might not have advantages in other areas, but he had one big one: he had Chen Mo on his friend list!
“Wow, Chen Mo is online!! Guys, go tell everyone else!”
“Quick, chubby guy, spectate Chen Mo! We want to see Chen Mo’s first-person view!”
“Chubby guy, stop dawdling, or I’ll unfollow, I swear!”
Zou Zhuo was speechless. Damn, every time Chen Mo went online, the viewers in his stream immediately turned on him...
Selent took over his stream in a second...
Zou Zhuo was utterly exasperated, but the fans were too enthusiastic. The big spenders were already spamming rockets and planes. If the chubby guy dared not to OB Chen Mo, he’d probably get beaten to death by the angry fans...
“Alright, alright, fine. I’ll go OB the shopkeeper.”
The chubby guy was reluctant at first, but seeing the pile of rockets and planes from the big spenders, he immediately gave in...
...
The PUBG Chen Mo created had a spectate feature, but only friends could spectate, and you could only see the spectated player’s first-person view—you couldn’t freely switch to others in the match.
Countless people were hoping Chen Mo would stream, but obviously, Chen Mo had no intention of starting his own stream.
Players wanted to OB Chen Mo, but the problem was, who had Chen Mo on their friend list?
Only Zou Zhuo did...
As soon as word spread that Chen Mo was online, it blew up! Tieba, forums, Weibo... players spread the news everywhere: you can watch Chen Mo play PUBG now!
Within half an hour, a flood of viewers crammed into Zou Zhuo’s livestream, and the first thing they said was, “Where’s Chen Mo? We want to see Chen Mo!”
Zou Zhuo was speechless. Whose livestream is this anyway!
