Chapter 122: Chapter 122 – Short Announcement Stream
That night, Max live streamed like usual. He still played V-Shelter Survival and aimed to upgrade his shelter to level 2 before the end of the stream.
All his knives were destroyed, and he was forced to spend 20 Scraps to get a brand new one from the shady merchant. Because he already knew the trick, he wasn't scammed this time.
The stream went on like usual, looting and defeating zombies. He didn't fight Turret this time because it was inefficient. He learned a lot from StoneSword, such as where to find Woods and Planks.
It only took him less than 3 days in-game time to gather all the material he needed to upgrade his shelter.
There were a few minutes to wait until the shelter was finished upgrading, so he used this chance to talk to the viewers.
"So, guys. My goal to get a level 2 shelter is finished. Hahaha, it's perfect, no? The next day will be Day 11 in the game, meaning the enemies will get stronger, and better loot will appear. But that's why I will stop here for now." He said, leaning against his unfinished shelter.
— You benefited a lot from yesterday's collaboration.
— It seems villain Breeze is no more. It's a normal Breeze now
— Good job! That was fast for a newbie. Though you aren't lucky with your weapon loot
— What are you going to do next?
"Good question," He smiled at the camera, "I think I will try a new game next. But tomorrow, I will be a bit busy and will probably be late for the stream. I have to check a new apartment and plan to hold the editor contest as there is enough content in my VODs already."
Not only that, he also had enough money to pay his editor. This was the perfect time to deal with everything he needed to set up his Punchtube, especially since he was going to sign a contract with Biozone Entertainment soon.
That way, he could get more viewers and more money. Maybe the sponsor would contact him soon after noticing his popularity. The only reason they hadn't yet was because it wasn't clear whether he would continue streaming.
Once the contract with Biozone Entertainment was realized, that worry would be gone, as he would need to stream as the contract had stated.
'I am looking forward to it.'
It was just a matter of time.
— A new apartment, huh?!
— So you still remember that contest. I thought you already had an editor, as your loading screen has changed a few times now
— Editor contest, huh? I am interested.
— Rich Breeze!
— What's the requirement to join the contest? Can we join for fun only?
"Feel free to join. I will have rewards for the winner too. Of course, the judging is based on my preference, so it might be unfair. If you're serious about becoming my editor, I will also prepare a different hashtag for the title so I can judge it differently."
Everyone would be interested in a reward. The reason for that was simple. It was a strategy he had seen back in his previous life.
A Shudder streamer held such a contest and promoted his content. Because the platform where the participants uploaded was MeTube, the site's algorithm helped spread his name even to someone who only watched videos.
It was the perfect way to promote the Punchtube channel he planned to start soon.
'Let's think of the reward as an investment for the future.'
— It seems Breeze is serious about this
— how humble! He deserves to call himself a humble streamer!
— I will join for sure
— Can I try? I am not really an editor, but I will try
— Heh, a contest? This noble me will also join! Peasant, bow to this godly editor!
Reading the chat, Max found something unexpected. BloodSucker said he would join the contest and called himself a godly editor.
'Well, he probably just roleplayed as usual.' He brushed it off and decided to continue with his news.
"I will upload the official statement tomorrow on my Strike social media and on both Knight's Journey and V-Shelter community forum. I will also try to be active on Striker, so follow me." He said. "The link will be put in the description tomorrow!"
He chatted with the viewers a bit and explained more about his plan for the contest. Some truly interested viewers asked a lot of questions, and he answered them smoothly. The details hadn't been decided yet, so most of his answer was that they should wait until tomorrow.
Finding a job at this age was hard. Becoming a streamer was also not ideal for some people, especially those who lacked confidence and couldn't speak in front of many people. Being able to speak alone while only looking at the camera also needed dedication and courage.
Continuing, he decided to spill some information about his plan to make his V-Shelter server public. The viewers weren't too excited about it because there was nothing there but the destruction caused by Screamer.
Some said they would join the server, but that was it. The reaction was lackluster.
'Hmm, I should tell them about this one then.' He thought.
"The next game I play will be a multiplayer one, the one where you can join me even without joining a server. If someone wants to beat me, then come! I accept all challenges! Especially from you, BloodSucker!"
— Why me again?! This noble BloodSucker said nothing at all!
— Hehe, beating Breeze. In what way?
— Obviously beating him to a pulp
— I want to see him suffer. What game is it? At least tell us the genre
— I'd rather watch than play with you. My skill has issue
— Just say you're a noob. But Breeze will be a noob in the new game too!
— It's a chance to win against him guys! Don't let him have the final laugh
"Try your best. I have to remind you that I won't hold back in any game."
Having fun was nice, but that didn't mean he would hold back. He called it having fun with all he got.
After he was done making fun of his viewers, he stood up. The shelter had been upgraded and changed into a level 2 wooden building that looked bigger than before.
"Well then, see you tomorrow! It's a short stream, but I have fun! I hope you guys enjoyed it too."
— Heh, indeed. As short as my pp
— You don't need to come out dude
— Bye, Breeze!
— See you in the new game! I will obliterate you kekeke
— Multiplayers. I will prepare to download whatever game that is!
