Chapter 294: Climbing To The Top Of The National Server (1/2)

When Xiao Yu's fans started expanding their search beyond the VA industry, they hopeful all over again!

There are no eternal secrets. Besides, Zhao Youyue had said that she would not mind using the pandemonium as a means of promoting her 'Ah Yu's Live Broadcast Room.'

'Ah Yu's Live Broadcast Room' grew exceedingly popular. Its number of subscribers pa.s.sed the million mark. Whenever the live broadcast starts, the viewers would never drop below 100,000. The highest record of simultaneous views would be standing at somewhere around the 300,000s. It was a rather ludicrous amount. But it was no secret that Douyu Live Broadcast Platform would often fabricate view counts of their popular channels and sensationalize matters.

Such an amount may be incomparable to the trending live broadcasts in Douyu which had numbers ranging up to a couple of millions. However, the gap was not as big as one would imagine.

After a long period of fights, Ah Yu's ”Unpleasant Night Rain Rhythm 001” successfully climbed to the top position of the national server. That position had been achieved via solo, ranked matchmaking, and under various unforeseen circ.u.mstances!

What sorts of unforeseen circ.u.mstances, you say?

Situations that included players who actually attempt to sabotage the game, while pretending to have contributed abundantly, players who go AFK on purpose, or players of the opposite team picking her specialized heroes before she could. All of these sought to impede her path, and she forced her way through, crus.h.i.+ng the pro players beneath her boots, one after another.

As she progressed, Zhao Youyue finally switched her webcam on. Even so, she did not reveal her face, but her hands. She had no choice, as the 'cyber navies'[1] recruited by some compet.i.tors were borderline lunatics. They would start new fires, accusing her of hiring ranking boosters[2] to play on her behalf. Some websites had even started releasing headlines that expressed their doubts. One person could not possibly be this good?

After all, from the public's perspective, video games have always been ruled by men, LoL even moreso. No pro female player had yet to step up the stage, let alone an all-female team, which was downright impossible.

Such an ideal female player only existed in novels, such as 'Yu Shengfan' of ”The Strongest King.” But now, such a female player had appeared in reality. This had to remain as a fantasy!

Ah Yu's straight-up increasing popularity also left her compet.i.tors restless. It had led to the appearance of several 'Cyber Navy' forces.

Even more vicious parties had taken it a step up and called Ah Yu out as a fat otaku who had been using a voice changer software. If not, how else could her voice be so versatile?

Others with ulterior motives even stood up to admit being her ranking boosters. Obviously, they intended to gain 15 minutes of fame, as some professional teams might actually believe those words and choose to recruit them.

Zhao Youyue couldn't be any less bothered about these attacks. However, she was well aware of the saying, ”Repeat a lie a thousand times, and it becomes the truth.” She would not stand for attacks being made towards Xiao Yu's reputation in reality.

Thus, to quell all the rumors, she finally switched on her webcam, and a la 'Xiao Yuanmiao,' a streamer of another world, turned into a 'headless girl.' Only her neck downwards could be seen. Of course, the emphasis was placed on her hands…

At the same time, she had also requested that Su Li design a 2D cartoon 'face' for her. The cuter, the better, in order to bring more fans to Xiao Yu.

The moment Su Li learned that Lady Zhao was requesting her services again, she accepted without hesitation. She did not just draw one 'face', but one whole set of them, enough to create a full deck of expressions!

It was a Moe girl with long, pink hair. Zhao Youyue liked it very much, although girls with pink hair are usually evil and s.a.d.i.s.tic...

But how could Lady Zhao possibly be evil? She had always been courteous and generous!

Zhao Youyue could not be any more satisfied. Su Li pleased her the most, among all others. She now considered Su Li, her true friend. They were now closer than ever.

Zhao Youyue switched on her webcam, and placed the 'face' over hers. All at once, her live broadcast popularity achieved 500,000 audiences in a blink of an eye. Her heroics in KoG were hammered, deep into the audiences' minds!
