In the afternoon, his roommates returned one after another.
Ma Yang was carrying a plastic bag filled with food that he had just bought from the canteen.
"Brother Qian, you're really gutsy. You're really not going to class? But you're lucky this time round that the Deputy President didn't call you. "Ma Yang had a 'What kind of dog sh * t luck do you have' expression.
The other roommates switched on their laptops.
"There's no class in the afternoon. Come, wanna play?"
"Yes, hurry up. Ma Yang, where are you? "
"Hold on, I'm not done eating."
"Hurry up and stop dilly-dallying. Who's going to call the other rooms?"
The others in the dormitory had already set up a small table on their bed and switched on their laptops.
That was how tough the school's accommodation was. There wasn't even a bed or a table, and they could only sit cross-legged on the bed to play games.
Pei Qian had always suspected that this was the cause of the discomfort in his waist.
Therefore, for the best gaming experience, even if they had their own computers and it was convenient for them to play games in the dormitory, many students would still head to internet cafes.
Ma Yang was carrying a stainless steel rice bowl with a plastic bag of food on it. He took a few bites and threw the entire plastic bag into the bin.
Luckily, they had classes in the morning and thus they bought food from the canteen.
If they didn't have classes in the morning, they would just lie on the bed like corpses.
The moment someone decided to go to the canteen, the others would start begging for help.
Of course, food delivery appeared later on. However, there were no delivery apps at that time and they had to order over the phone. Some poor students from poor families would run errands and work part-time to earn some living expenses.
Ma Yang went outside and shouted. Soon, most of the seats in the game room were occupied.
Pei Qian looked at the computer screen. It was a 5v5 battle game called Gods Rising. The gameplay was similar to Dota, but the packaging was completely different.
In terms of time, League of Legends only became popular in 2011. Even though there was one in 2009, it was extremely rough.
Furthermore, that was in Pei Qian's memory. Now that the world had changed so much, it was hard to say if League of Legends would appear.
At that time, the internet cafes were still dominated by MMORPGs and the most popular game was Fantasy World.
Gods Rising was a popular game, but it was more popular in the dormitory because it wasn't purely an online game.
They could also be played in internet cafes and had battle platforms, but they weren't as popular as MMORPGs.
"Qian 'er, why do I feel like you're in a daze today? Are you still sleeping?"
Ma Yang was a little curious about Pei Qian's state today. "Nine waiting for one. Are you coming?"
Pei Qian shook his head. "No, you can find someone else first."
"Alright, I'll get Old Wang from next door then." Ma Yang did not ask any further.
Soon, the dormitory and the dormitory next door began to clamor.
"Sigh, there's no one in the middle. Be careful!"
"F * ck, how did he kill me?"
"Hahaha, three against one and still got killed. Noobs!"
Pei Qian stood behind Ma Yang and watched as the latter's mouse clicked rapidly on the screen while his left hand tapped on the keyboard. The keyboard of the laptop was clacking noisily, looking very much like an expert.
However, when they looked at the results, they saw that in the first ten minutes, the entire team had a 10-9 kill count. Ma Yang's record was 0-0.
His teammates were fighting anxiously, and he missed his attack under the turret.
Pei Qian could not help but feel emotional. Everyone was young in 2009 and they could still experience the fun of games.
After he started working, he bought a bunch of games. All of them were good games. However, they were all covered in dust after he bought them and he could not remember to play them at all.
Every day, he worked himself to death. After work, the only thing he wanted to do was to lie on the sofa and surf the web and watch live-streams. He was too lazy to even move his fingers when playing a mobile game, much less a game like this that required a lot of manual control.
Thankfully, everything was different now.
As long as he lost all the System Funds, he could earn money while lying down. He would not have to work hard at all and could happily be a salted fish!
Pei Qian lay on his bed and thought about his future happily.
So, how should he spend the first 50,000 yuan …?
No matter what, he had to get a high-end computer, right?
Then, he could rent a house and live the life of a salted fish shamelessly.
"Hahahaha," Pei Qian could not help but laugh out.
…
…
"That's it for today's Trash Games Diss. If my dear viewers and dads think that this video is not bad, please don't forget to bookmark, share, and subscribe!"
In a certain rented house in Beijing, a fat young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was sitting in front of a computer, recording a video.
He was a famous UP Master in Potato Web's games section. His real name was Qiao Liang, and his username was Teacher Qiao. He was also affectionately called the 'Godfather of the Games Channel' by his fans because he would always call him 'Daddy' at the end of every show.
As a professional UP Master, Qiao Liang was quite famous and had many fans. However, this was 2009 after all. In such an environment, he was basically living a life where he did not know his next meal.
If he received a sponsored video, he would be filled with pride and go to a restaurant for a good meal.
If he did not receive a sponsored video, he would have to eat a bowl of clear soup with noodles. His weight loss depended on him being hungry.
Qiao Liang had tried many different directions, but in the end, Trash Games Diss was still the most popular. It had a higher number of views and attracted a group of gamers.
Qiao Liang also had a segment called New Recommended Games of the Month. It was specially used for sponsored partnerships.
After all, his popular segment was called Trash Games Diss. None of the games companies that wanted him to do sponsored partnerships would dare to use this segment.
Thus, Qiao Liang created New Recommended Games of the Month for sponsored partnerships. However, compared to Trash Games Diss, the amount of attention this series received was far inferior.
After the recording of the new episode of Trash Games Diss was completed, Qiao Liang did not publish it.
That was because he felt that something was missing.
Yes, that's right. It was missing a little soul.
The game this time seemed to be so trashy that there was nothing special about it!
After writing the script, seriously working on the material, and dubbing, Qiao Liang felt that the program this time was not bad. However, no matter how he thought about it, it did not seem like it would be able to become explosive.
This game was so lousy that there was nothing to talk about.
This gave Qiao Liang a headache. After all, he relied on this to make a living. If the views of the video did not increase, it would be difficult for him to receive better sponsored partnerships.
Therefore, Qiao Liang was not in a hurry to publish this episode's video. Instead, he habitually opened the new recommended games list on the official platform and started to 'find gold in sh * t'.
Before that, he felt a little hungry. He took out a packet of instant noodles and boiled a pot of water, preparing to replenish his energy.
Once the water was boiling, Qiao Liang continued to search for new games.
"The Lonely Desert Road? What kind of game is that? "
Qiao Liang saw the game's introduction.
"A driving simulation to reflect on life?
"How to reflect on life?"
This introduction slightly piqued Qiao Liang's curiosity.
As a professional video creator in the gaming area, Qiao Liang would basically play any game that he was slightly interested in.
