Chapter 308: The Live Stream Begins

Tiger Head Live

Extreme Survival Competition Live Stream Room.

At this moment, the viewer count in the main live stream room had already reached one million. Other live streaming platforms had also launched their own broadcast rooms for the event, and none of them had fewer than 500,000 viewers.

“Has the competition started yet? I’m here to see which team walks away with the million prize.”

“Wasn’t it supposed to start at six? Why are they still playing this promo video?”

“Yeah, what’s this video even about? Though I have to say, that company’s work environment looks amazing!”

“Seriously, which company is that? Could it be the Sky Pavilion Club?”

“……”

Many viewers across the various live stream rooms were commenting as they watched the promo video.

Just then, the commentator’s voice came through.

“Everyone just saw that short video, right? Let me give you a proper introduction.”

“The company featured in that video isn’t Sky Pavilion Club. It’s actually the developer behind Extreme Survival—Cangxue Games.”

“I used to wonder what kind of company could create such an outstanding game. After watching that video, I finally understood.”

“With a work environment like that and employees in such good spirits, it’s no surprise they were able to develop Extreme Survival.”

“Exactly. A good work environment means better performance from the staff. I also looked into it a bit—the employee benefits at that company are top-notch.”

“Good benefits usually mean a good boss. And here’s another bit of news: Cangxue Games is also the developer behind 【Tianlong】.”

“……”

The commentators chatted back and forth, each adding their own take.

Meanwhile, the audience in the live stream rooms began to shift their focus in the comment feed after hearing the commentary.

“So this is the company that developed Extreme Survival? Looks pretty solid. I’m a computer science major—wonder if I could get a job there.”

“You guys play games without even checking who made them? I’ve known for ages that Extreme Survival was made by Cangxue Games. I’ve even got a friend working there. The benefits are insanely good. And I mean insanely—as in, three ‘very’s good!”

“Who even looks at game developers when they play? But I’ll admit, Cangxue Games is worth keeping an eye on. I just found out they made 【Tianlong】 too—I love that game. I’m not working right now, just farming gold in 【Tianlong】 every day. I make over 500 a day, and still have time to play Extreme Survival. Living the dream.”

“Hey, take me with you! I want to make money from games too. My job is exhausting, and I have to kiss up to my boss. But even when I grind for materials and gold on my account, I only make a few dozen bucks a day. Bro, how are you doing it?”

“That’s easy. Just create a bunch of alt accounts and farm materials on all of them at once. But make sure you get the cards—get all three. The luck stat really helps. If you get lucky and drop some rare enhancement materials, you can sell them for hundreds.”

“Is 【Tianlong】 really that profitable? I’ve heard of it, but never tried it.”

“It’s super profitable. There’s no in-game store in 【Tianlong】, so everything has to be farmed manually, and most of it gets consumed. Every day there are buyers—either players or studios—snapping stuff up. Play for a bit each day and you can easily earn some pocket money.”

“Hahaha, I pay for both my 【Tianlong】 and Extreme Survival monthly cards with the money I make in 【Tianlong】.”

“Look, the match is starting! First time watching this kind of competition, hope it’s good.”

“What kind of game is this anyway, to have such a huge prize pool…”

“……….”

Backstage,

Chen Cong and Du Ziteng were closely monitoring the live stream data. In preparation for the tournament, they had partnered with several live streaming platforms to broadcast the event simultaneously.

Each platform had its own user base, and they hoped this multi-platform approach would boost Extreme Survival’s exposure and bring Sky Pavilion Club into the public eye.

“The numbers are in. Across four streaming platforms, the total viewer count has already surpassed 4.5 million—and it’s still climbing.”

“Also, based on the comment analysis, on platforms other than Tiger Head Live, about 30% of the viewers are asking what game this is.”

Du Ziteng spoke slowly as he read the data report from a staff member off his tablet.

Chen Cong nodded thoughtfully as he listened.

“Looks like we were right. A lot of users on the other platforms still haven’t heard of Extreme Survival. Once this competition wraps up, I think the game will finally break into the mainstream.”

After all, Extreme Survival has only been online for a few months, and there hasn’t been any promotional campaign. The only form of publicity so far has been live streaming on Tiger Head Live.

However, since Extreme Survival hasn’t authorized any other live streaming platforms, Tiger Head Live remains the only one currently allowed to stream it.

As a result, the only people who know about Extreme Survival at this point are users of Tiger Head Live.

Of course, some of those users might have recommended the game to their friends in private.

But that alone isn’t enough to bring Extreme Survival into the public spotlight.

That’s why, during the last visit to Cangxue Games to shoot a short video, he discussed this issue with Fang Chang and the others.

In the end, they decided that the upcoming competition should not be limited to streaming on Tiger Head Live alone. Instead, it should be broadcast across all major platforms to truly reach a broader audience.

And judging by the current situation, that plan has been quite successful.

……….

Mingri Group,

Cangxue Games,

Inside Fang Chang’s office, with Wei Yan and Zhao Bowen also present.

The three of them were watching the Extreme Survival competition on the computer screen. This match was crucial—not only for the game’s growth trajectory but also because it involved a potential licensing fee.

With stakes this high, the three of them, as the top executives of Cangxue Games, naturally had to pay close attention.

“Judging by the viewer counts on each streaming platform and the feedback in the live chat, everything seems to be going smoothly,” Fang Chang said after monitoring the situation across four different platforms.

Wei Yan and Zhao Bowen both smiled at his words.

It looked like Extreme Survival was about to bring in another wave of revenue.

Of course, this revenue wouldn’t just come from an increase in players. There was also the licensing fee from the streaming platforms wanting to broadcast Extreme Survival.

After all, with the game performing so well on the four platforms currently streaming it, once word gets out, other platforms won’t want to miss out.

Because if the game explodes in popularity and every other platform can stream Extreme Survival except one, that platform could very well lose users over it.
