Chapter 96 The Core of the Game
Chapter 96 The Core of the Game
It all started with a tech-savvy game streamer—
This tech streamer is called Chronicler. In the gaming streamer community, she stands out for her meticulous observations. Because viewers can see plot clues that they previously overlooked in her streams, Chronicler is also one of the most popular streamers currently streaming "reunions".
However, Chronicler's weakness is also obvious—she's not very brave, and after each live stream, she needs to rest for several days to recover. During this "rest" period, Chronicler doesn't look at any game-related news.
After all, she's a game streamer who likes to analyze games. If she accidentally sees spoilers for the game she's playing while she's "taking a break," should she continue playing or not? If she continues, she'll lose the fun of the game, and if she quits, she'll feel bad for her viewers. So Chronicler simply developed this habit.
Although the game in red would save Chronicler this trouble, she had already formed the habit.
Because of this habit of hers, Chronicler has been completely oblivious to the recent uproar over the "reunion" issue, as she has been constantly recharging her courage.
In addition, the storm had subsided slightly and was overshadowed by the collective apology from the online trolls, so when Chronicle logged into the live stream room, he started broadcasting "Reunion" as usual.
Chronicle already had a considerable following, and shortly after she started broadcasting, her fans, noticing the return of a missing person, flocked to the stream. Busy greeting and catching up with the streamer, they didn't even realize what she was going to broadcast that day, until they heard Chronicle's cool yet pleasant voice announce: "Today we're continuing with 'Reunion'."
Fans: "!!!"
There aren't many game streamers who dare to livestream "family reunions" these days. Because of the previous scandal, every streamer who did so was criticized, leading to a near-complete halt in livestreaming "family reunions" lately. But by the time fans realized this, it was too late—
Due to the large influx of fans, Chronicle's live stream has made it onto the real-time popularity chart in the gaming section.
Meanwhile, other viewers who were browsing in the gaming area rushed in as soon as they saw the words "Reunion" displayed in the live stream's name:
"Am I seeing things? There are still people who dare to livestream a 'reunion' at this time?!"
"How much money did you get from the woman in red?"
"Even after all this commotion, they still dare to broadcast this trash game? I've reported them!"
A barrage of abusive comments filled the screen. Chronicle's fans had tried to explain that their anchor didn't usually follow online news and was unaware of what had happened, but before they could even utter a few words, their explanations were drowned out by the barrage of insults.
Even the property management staff didn't have time to silence them.
Fans can only be incredibly grateful that when Chronicle is playing the game, because he enjoys the immersive experience, he doesn't really look at the comments and just talks to himself, which is considered his interaction with the comments, so he didn't see these vulgar words in the comments.
So Chronicle fans kept explaining and explaining... and then just gave up.
Anyway, no matter how much they curse, it won't affect Chronicle's live stream, and no one can see their explanations... so why not just click to turn off the comments and just watch Chronicle's deduction show?
If they enjoy watching, they can leave a comment praising the video. It doesn't matter if no one sees it or interacts with them; as long as they're happy posting, that's all that matters.
Then, those who were hurling insults also noticed this strange phenomenon—
No matter how much they cursed, the streamer continued playing "Reunion" as usual, completely unaffected.
If game streamers are focused on playing the game and don't pay attention to the chat, they can tolerate being ignored. However, it's incredibly boring when the fans in the streamer's chat, who are clearly wearing light sticks, act as if they can't see them, letting them curse without offering any explanation or responding. There's no one to argue with them.
Especially since these people were clearly still sending comments and interacting with the streamer, completely ignoring them, it made those who deliberately came in to insult and cause trouble feel like they had punched cotton.
"boring……"
Some people who came purely to vent their emotions ended up leaving the live stream dejectedly because no one was there to argue with them.
Some viewers initially rushed into the live stream because they felt the "reunion" was inappropriate, but as they watched, they were drawn in by Chronicle's unique way of advancing the plot and stayed.
Then, this process begins to cycle continuously—
Viewers outside were drawn in by the word "reunion" in the live stream title, curious to see who was so stubborn. However, once they entered, they either started swearing at others and left in embarrassment after finding no one paying attention, or they were captivated by Chronicle's gameplay and continued watching.
As the number of viewers increased, the popularity of the live stream gradually rose, eventually even making it onto the homepage recommendation list.
Then more people started flooding into the live stream, and the cycle began again.
—So much so that Chronicle's live stream viewership reached a new high.
This is why when Chronicle analyzed the game's story background based on the plot and the clues she obtained, everyone in the live stream heard it.
Then they all fell silent.
The comments section was cleared for a moment as a result.
A few seconds later, the screen was filled with comments like crazy:
"My God, I got goosebumps!"
"Holy crap! So this is the real backstory of 'reunion'?! I feel like I've been playing a fake game!"
"Who exactly said that the game 'Red Dress' is only disgusting and terrifying, lacking any core story?! Isn't this core story profound enough?!"
