On this day,
The sun was bright, and the sky was clear.
Threads of colorful sunlight pierced through the dense canopy of leaves, casting shimmering golden spots on the ground, which danced with the wind.
Like twinkling stars, the light and shadow constantly shifted, dazzling the eyes.
Treading through the overlapping shadows of sunlight, Lu Li trudged forward, carrying a delivery box over two meters tall with great difficulty.
Beads of sweat streamed down his angular face, splashing onto the ground like countless petals, quickly evaporating.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
"I'm definitely giving this delivery guy a bad review!"
"They won't deliver something weighing over a hundred pounds to my door!"
From a distance, a robust man's enraged voice could be heard.
Lu Li felt like he was having a bad day. It should have been a great day with his figure arriving, and the subsequent livestream would surely make his viewers "ecstatic."
Thinking about how his viewers would go wild upon seeing the BT figure later, Lu Li had been in high spirits since morning.
However, the delivery person had called to say they couldn't deliver to his door.
What the hell??
Lu Li was stunned. What year was this? Such a thing still happened?
The reason,
He shared the same name as Lu Li, the popular game designer "Old Thief Lu" online. The delivery driver responsible for his package had recently been "stabbed" by Titanfall.
Upon hearing he was delivering to someone with the same name as the notorious designer, he simply refused to continue.
This delivery driver was doing it to experience life and wasn't afraid of complaints.
There was no other way; Lu Li had to go down himself to the delivery point to pick it up.
With the idea of exercising, he cheerfully headed out.
But when he saw the two-meter-tall, hundred-pound box, Lu Li was dumbfounded.
This BT figure seemed a bit too, too, too big?!
Lu Li, who was already lacking in exercise, couldn't take it after just a few minutes. He had already started cursing before reaching halfway.
He had never been so speechless in his life. He even suspected that if the delivery driver knew he was the designer himself, he might have come to gank him in person. It seemed he needed to be more careful when going out from now on.
After carrying it for more than ten minutes, Lu Li finally managed to transport the behemoth to his room.
Once the 2.3-meter-tall BT-7274 figure was assembled, looking at the lifelike figure that was even closer to the simulation access cockpit in the game,
Lu Li felt a surge of satisfaction!
"It's so lifelike!"
"Incredibly lifelike!"
"This feeling is exactly the same as when I first saw BT in the game!"
"Amazing!"
Lu Li circled the BT-7274 figure a few times, praising it endlessly. "This throwing pose, the detail in the eyes, it's truly a masterpiece carved by the master himself!"
At first glance, it was almost indistinguishable from the BT he fought alongside in the game, as if BT from the game had come to reality. If the viewers saw this, they would have exploded on the spot.
That's right, if BT's first fall was the first stab, BT's last-moment throw to the player was the second stab, the real-life reenactment was the third stab, and the real-life BT simulation access cockpit maintaining the throwing pose was the fourth stab.
Then, before him, Lu Li's BT-7274 replica throwing figure, prepared for all his viewers, was the legendary fifth stab.
One game giving rise to five sharp knives was a historical achievement.
"Can't wait, let's start the stream!"
Lu Li didn't even wipe the sweat from his face before sitting down in front of his computer screen.
He turned on the computer, adjusted the camera angle, until the BT figure behind him occupied three-quarters of the screen, and his own avatar only occupied a small corner in the lower middle.
Only then did he nod with satisfaction and turn on the livestream camera.
'Old Thief, hurry up and eat my Sun Wukong's staff!'
'You made us wait so long, Lu Li Old Thief!'
'You there? Why are you sending stabby content? You there? Why are you sending stabby content?!!'
'My happy times with BT were so warm and touching, bam! You just destroyed my happiness, you owe me BT!!'
'You still dare to stream? How dare you!'
'Old Thief, did you lock your doors tonight? I'm coming to gank you!!'
......
Even before the stream officially started, the chat was filled with people knocking, and the real-time viewership had already surpassed one million.
A million people facing a dark livestream room, each chatting about their own things. The most frequent topic was the players still holding grudges and seeking revenge.
Even though nearly a week had passed, many people still hadn't come to terms with it.
Lu Li's streaming schedule was random and unpredictable. He had only announced it in the early morning, and the platform didn't even have time to arrange for other streamers to connect with him.
However, Lu Li didn't care about that.
After opening the livestream backend, he greeted the viewers generously towards the camera:
"Hello everyone in the stream, I apologize for keeping you waiting."
When Lu Li's angular face with his sharp features appeared on the stream, the viewers instantly became restless:
'You know to apologize?'
'Hiss! So handsome!'
'Streamer, why is your face flushed and you're covered in sweat?'
'Ooh, Old Thief, you're not being honest. You're showing us the stream only after the VIP paid segment is over?'
'What the hell, Old Thief actually has a girl... No, you, you, you... behind you... What did you do!!!'
It was only then that the million viewers noticed the background behind Lu Li. They instinctively rubbed their eyes and, upon confirming it was BT-7274, the livestream descended into chaos!
'Holy crap, what is that!?!'
'Are you fucking stabbing me again?!'
'A figure? A BT-style throwing pose figure? Die, you scoundrel!!'
'How dare you, how dare you do this!!!'
'Wuwu... As soon as I saw the BT figure, my tears started falling again.'
'I had almost recovered, you scoundrel, you absolute dog!'
'Five stabs, the revenge for five stabs will not be forgiven!!'
'......'
'@#！#！#’
......
After a brief moment of garbled text, Lu Li's livestream crashed. Looking at the frozen screen, the schadenfreude-filled man shrugged his shoulders:
'It's not Little Lu's fault, Little Lu knows nothing.'
He was certain it wasn't his computer lagging, but a server issue on the Shark platform.
Ten minutes later, Lu Li received an apology call from the Shark platform staff, who informed him that the problem had been resolved and he could now stream normally.
"To make a long story short, brothers."
Upon resuming the stream, Lu Li cut to the chase. The stabbing effect had been achieved, and seeing his viewers go wild had thoroughly satisfied him.
"Regarding the next VR game, it might be released by the end of the year. I'll keep it a secret, but it will feature a brand new interactive experience."
Lu Li acted mysterious, piquing the audience's curiosity.
"But during this period, Ling Jing won't let you suffer from a lack of new games to experience. So, we've taken out some of our old treasures to give many long-awaited players of the mission a complete conclusion."
"The story will unfold from the perspective of Mactavish, with the timeline connecting to Ghost. There might be a mysterious Easter egg then."
"Additionally, to commemorate the first anniversary of Undertale's release, we've bought out several high-quality AU works. After some processing, they will be released as DLC. Please look forward to it."
Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in cheers!
