"Brothers, if you’re interested, download this game, and we’ll play it together during the stream later."

He planned to recruit enough beta users for the game through his own efforts while also promoting the game’s model.

When the official server launches, they can just spend money on advertising.

He just wanted to make a big impact, as this was already a very mature business model, and he wasn’t afraid the gameplay would be boring.

The stream chat was flooded with comments: "Did Yang God take on a sponsorship?"

People weren’t too bothered about Li Yang taking on an ad because he seldom monetized his stream, and Jiang Banxia often gave out money in the stream room.

Without even looking, Li Yang knew someone would download it since the current audience was mostly PC users, but many of their computers couldn’t handle games.

The beta version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds doesn’t require much memory, only a few hundred megabytes, and it’s not aimed at prompting global hardware upgrades.

However, it’s sure to head in that direction later.

In its past life, this game was one of the catalysts that pushed NVIDIA’s market value over 200 billion, along with cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence.

At first, it’s kept simple with low hardware requirements to make it accessible.

This game is released a whole year earlier than Blue Hole’s first formal release in its past life. If the entry barrier was too high, it might just flop.

While waiting, he prepared a meal for Jiang Banxia.

At half-past six, Jiang Banxia returned home, and upon seeing Li Yang, her eyes immediately turned crescent-shaped with joy.

The incident with Liu Yuheng last week almost scared her to death.

Now it seemed everything was fine and unchanged.

"Master Li, give me a hug..."

She put down her bag and approached him, as happy as a little girl.

Li Yang took a deep breath and said, "Why do you smell so nice?"

"Well... does Master Li want to have a taste?"

"Hmph, let’s eat first!"

Even though the stream was on, the sound was muted, and the camera was off, only the screen casting was still on.

This way, he didn’t have to worry about people in the stream hearing them.

While eating, Li Yang said, "Later, I might have to stream for a while; Aurora Studio has finished their first game after half a year of effort, and I need to promote it."

"Do you need me to give out some money in the stream room to help draw some viewers?"

Whenever Jiang Banxia gave out money, the stream could easily surpass a million viewers.

Even without it, if Li Yang played LOL, he could still have a million online viewers.

But if he played an unfamiliar game, it wouldn’t necessarily be the case.

Li Yang thought such a promotion wouldn’t be efficient.

So he shook his head, "Forget it. Forget it. With that money, it would be better to buy ads directly. A million could buy tens of millions in display volume."

Display volume is cheap, and most of the viewers Jiang Banxia would attract wouldn’t actually play the game.

If Jiang Banxia was doing it for Wanliu Capital, he wouldn’t say anything, but... it’s no longer necessary.

Wanliu Capital is already well-known enough, those who should be paying attention have already done so.

Savings should be made where possible, and money should be spent where necessary.

Giving out money in a stream attracts a lot of bots ready to grab red envelopes since Jiang Banxia’s red envelopes have no threshold, and those bot accounts cost almost nothing. Only about one-third would actually reach real viewers.

"How long will the streaming be?" Jiang Banxia asked.

"Until around midnight."

"Okay, okay, I don’t have to work tomorrow anyway."

...

Bai Qing, who was at home, was particularly bored with nothing to do recently and had two maids.

So bored that whenever Li Yang streamed, she would stir something up.

Today, she did the same as usual when Li Yang streamed.

She definitely had to download the game Li Yang was promoting. After entering Li Yang’s invitation code, she registered an account and even played two rounds before Li Yang went online.

It wasn’t too bad; it only took about two minutes to queue.

She quickly adapted to the new player training process. When it came to gaming, she was the kind who was both bad and loved playing.

Similarly, in relationships, she often picked fights, knowing she couldn’t hold her ground for long, always ending up in a mess because of Li Yang.

The first game for her was particularly thrilling.

The strangeness was strong, and the suddenly appearing enemies made her heart race with anxiety.

The second game, she adapted a bit, but her bizarre death awakened her first curiosity about the game’s mechanics.

It was very intriguing.

She checked the official game website, found Aurora Studio, and then searched for more information on them.

It was Li Yang’s!

So, this time Li Yang was promoting his own game.

But promoting this way doesn’t seem effective, the viewer engagement in the stream wasn’t high.

However, the popular current trend of holding game screenshot lotteries wouldn’t work either; the game was still in beta and needed high-quality users.

The activation code Li Yang provided could be reused, but would definitely have registration limitations.

At this moment, she was in Li Yang’s fan group.

"Everyone, go download the game from Yang God’s stream. During the upcoming stream, whoever kills Yang God in the game, I’ll give them a 5,000 red envelope. Just DM me with the screenshot."

She spent tens of thousands in Li Yang’s stream daily; such words from her were quite credible.

Especially those who already loved playing FPS games immediately took an interest.

5,000 bucks to kill Li Yang once?

"Ah Jie, how does it count if you kill him multiple times in a row?" Bai Qing’s ID in the stream was [Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah], hence she was called Ah Jie.

"Once per game, but if you manage twice in two games, it’s 10,000, and 50,000 for ten games in a row."

...

After dinner, Jiang Banxia voluntarily took over the task of washing the dishes.

"Master Li, go ahead and stream, leave these to me! Remember to rest quickly after the stream ends..."

"Okay, okay, I’ll try to finish quickly!"
