Chapter 12: Xianyu Live, Retired Players
Yu Wenzhou just felt a chill all over his body.

His brother's unintentional words made him suddenly enlightened.

The biggest question about the Jia Shi collapse is Teng Hai’s motive.

Why would such a top-notch enterprise come to mess with Jia Shi?

But if we say that Tenghai’s goal is e-sports and glory, then it is not surprising.

There is no gaming company that is not jealous of the e-sports market.

If Tencent Hai wants to develop e-sports, then it is only logical to start with Jia Shi and thereby destroy the overall social image of Honor e-sports.

However, this is just an immature guess, without any evidence to support it.

But it’s okay, it will be there tomorrow.

Yu Wenzhou picked up his phone and searched for Tenghai Direct Meeting.

Tenghai Direct Meetings are held twice a year, covering Tenghai’s product launch plans for the next six months and the promotion of third-party works released on the Tenghai game platform.

If Tenghai really has any big move, there will definitely be some clues in the next direct meeting!
At this moment, the bored Yu Wenbo also came forward and took a look at Yu Wenzhou's phone, and was quite surprised:

"Brother, you also watched the Tenghai Direct Meeting! I thought you were not interested."

Yu Wenzhou looked at his phone, which showed that this year's Tenghai Winter Direct Meeting would be held at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

"Isn't this interesting?" He raised his head and invited his brother, "Do you want to watch it together?"

"Okay."

……

In the blink of an eye, it was the next afternoon.

Brothers Yu Wenzhou and Yu Wenbo sat in front of the TV on time and projected the live broadcast channel of the Tenghai Face-to-Face Meeting on the TV screen.

But the more he watched the face-to-face meeting, the more things seemed to be beyond Yu Wenzhou's expectations.

Originally, in his opinion, as an e-sports player, he should have sufficient knowledge of the game and there should be no obstacles in understanding.

But when he really started watching, he truly felt overwhelmed.

Just like now.

The graphics of the game currently being played look extremely simple, just a bunch of unclear pixels.

The operation is also quite simple, and even the world is only two-dimensional.

But such a simple, even crude game attracted the excited cheers of Yu Wenbo beside him:
"Wuhu! Version 1.4 is finally out! That Zenith Sword looks so awesome!"

"Wenbo, what game is this?" Yu Wenzhou asked involuntarily.

"Terraria!" Yu Wenbo watched it intently, not wanting to miss any details of the trailer.

"Is it fun?"

"It must be fun! There is no game from Tenghai that is not fun!" Yu Wenbo looked like a fanatical fan.

Yu Wenzhou's brows began to frown, and he asked in confusion:
"More fun than Glory?"

"But this game... why are the graphics so crude?"

"What's wrong with being simple? Isn't it enough as long as it's fun?" Yu Wenbo didn't care at all.

"How is it fun?" Yu Wenzhou stared at the rolling pixels on the screen, trying to see some so-called "fun" from them.

"Let me tell you..." Yu Wenbo became excited.

Over the years, my brother, as a professional player who is the leader in the Honor of Kings circle, has hardly touched any games other than Honor of Kings.

It was so hard to get an opportunity to recommend something to someone, so he naturally wouldn't miss it.

The next half hour seemed like a year to Yu Wenzhou.

He had to ask his younger brother again and again about the features and advantages of a certain game, and was repeatedly confused by new words he had never heard of.

What pigeons, what survivors, what civilization, what ring world...

For the first time, he felt a little panic that he couldn't keep up with the times.

After playing Honor of Kings for so many years, he has become accustomed to the game mode centered on completing dungeons, defeating bosses, and PVP battles.

After all, Honor of Kings has had these main gameplay methods for so many years. But before we know it, in the gaming world outside of Honor of Kings, new game ideas and gameplay methods have blossomed into an incomparably gorgeous sea of ​​flowers.

In contrast, Rongyao, the bright red flower that has outshone all other flowers for ten years, seems a little dull.

Can games be played this way? Yu Wenzhou wondered.

Perhaps Honor’s graphics and technical level are still unmatched, but can it really maintain its dominant position in the gaming industry with just these?

Yu Wenzhou didn’t know.

Finally, amid Yu Wenzhou's shock and uneasiness, the face-to-face meeting finally came to its end.

The finale dish is finally coming.

A familiar logo appeared on the screen.

Yu Wenzhou recognized that it was the logo of Xianyu Short Video.

What followed was Pei Yunteng’s narration.

"We have to admit that Xianyu short video is Tencent's most successful product in recent years. Even we developers did not expect its influence."

This statement is somewhat Versailles. I wonder how many of my colleagues are gritting their teeth and cursing at the screen right now.

"However, salted fish is not perfect." He changed the subject.

"Short videos as a medium will eventually have a time lag."

“After sending a short video, it may take several minutes, hours, or even days before you get feedback from others.”

“By then, how much of the initial joy that was shared will remain?”

"Not only that, due to the existence of video editing and special effects, the authenticity and credibility of short videos still need to be questioned."

“These problems are the weak points of short videos.”

Suddenly, Pei Yunteng's face appeared on the screen, his brows full of confidence.

"So, do you want to try Xianyu Live?"

live streaming?

live streaming!

A bombshell exploded in Yu Wenzhou's heart, and all the previous fog about the Jia Shi incident disappeared at this moment.

As a result, he didn't even bother to read Pei Yunteng's detailed introduction to the live streaming platform.

"So that's it!" He slapped his thigh and stood up.

Live streaming on the Internet does exist in this world.

For example, the Honor Professional League has a dedicated live broadcast website.

However, all the live broadcasts so far have been limited to the media and officials, and there has never been a precedent for ordinary netizens to live broadcast.

And now, this gap has been opened by Teng Hai.

"What do you mean?" Yu Wenbo was shocked.

"Teng Hai attacked Jia Shi with such great fanfare in order to win people's hearts." Yu Wenzhou looked confident.

It goes without saying that online live streaming and game live streaming are definitely top priorities.

If Tenghai wants to become a live broadcast platform, it will definitely need a number of top-notch live broadcast rooms to support it.

And in the field of gaming, who could be more suitable than professional players?

Especially those retired players who are not on the field and have plenty of free time.

“What Tenghai wants is to win over the hearts of all retired players and make them the face of Tenghai’s live broadcast!” Yu Wenzhou concluded.

Yu Wenbo scratched his head. He didn't care much about these things.

On the contrary, he is quite interested in the live streaming industry.

The requirements are not as strict as those for professional players, and you can brag to the audience anytime and anywhere, which sounds pretty exciting.

How about I try live streaming?
