This star just wants to learn.

"Oh my God, look what I see..."

The unkempt blond man exclaimed, immediately propped up his glasses that were about to slide off his nose, and moved closer to the screen with a rather jaw-dropping and exaggerated movement.

If I didn't know, I would have thought he was going to drill into the screen on the spot. After all, at this moment, his whole body was almost stuck in front of the screen, and it didn't look like he was looking at anything at all.

His name is Mai, a little-known game anchor, the father of the most awesome and most show-effective single-player games on Twitter (self-proclaimed).

In his more than three years of broadcasting career, he has played all kinds of stand-alone games in the broadcast room, whether they are free or paid, as long as they are effective for the show, he will play them...

However, he does not play most of the popular games, the hot 3A masterpieces, and the new games from well-known game companies.

This track is too competitive. Every time a new popular game is released, more than half of the live streaming sessions are broadcasting that game. He has no skills, no good looks, and no liver, so he is totally out of reach of others.

So Mai decided to do the opposite. While others were playing popular blockbusters, he delved deeply into those unpopular abstract games, focusing on program effects and discovering excellent works.

In his live broadcast room, there are many low-cost sincere works, and there are also many shitty works that are purely for feeding the players.

The former can bring him reputation, because because of him, these masterpieces that no one cares about can be seen by everyone, and he also gains popularity because of this. It can be said to be mutually beneficial.

But if it's the latter, because the game quality is not up to standard, it can bring a lot of fun to the live broadcast... Everyone sees him spending dozens of dollars to buy shit to break his defense, and sees him crash because of a bug, and they are so happy.

I have to say, maybe he was born to do this. Every time he discovers a new and unpopular game, there will always be a bunch of people watching in his live broadcast room.

As long as there is something in the game, he will always find a style of play that suits him, and he has been doing very well in the past few years.

However, as his live streaming style developed, many old viewers gradually began to dislike it. To put it bluntly, they were tired of watching it...

In fact, this has something to do with himself. After staying in his comfort zone for too long, he doesn't want to step out easily, so much so that he himself is a bit sloppy.

When he plays games now, a lot of his defense-breaking and collapsed actions are actually performed by him. The exaggerated look he showed at the screen just now was also a deliberate and exaggerated performance on his part.

"I didn't see it wrong. Yesterday's summer recommendation was about the wasteland. Why did it become this cartoon game today..."

"Plants vs. Zombies, what the hell is this, is the name so straightforward?"

"It sounds like a really crappy game. How can it be related to plants and zombies? This kind of game can be on the front page. They must be paid for it!"

Mai moved a little further away, squinted his eyes and looked carefully at this unprecedented small game. He has been live streaming single-player games for so long, but this is the first time he has seen such a situation.

He subconsciously glanced at the game's publishing company, Kepu Entertainment, a small company that no one had ever heard of. It probably didn't have much background, but it could surpass the homepage of Wasteland Summer Recommendations.

Generally, the game homepage is updated once a week. The occasional replacement is always an unexpected masterpiece. So where did this cartoon game come from?
"Could it be a bug?"

Mai spread his hands. The style of this game was a bit too childish, and the labels were tower defense and business. He had no interest in this kind of game. Anyway, he didn't have much interest in it.

His original plan today was to live broadcast a horror game, and start screaming when he saw a ghost. No matter if he was scared or not, as long as the show was entertaining.

This kind of cartoon game obviously has no effect.

"Old Yi, I want to see this."

"Maimai, play this new game of connections, or I'll unfollow you!"

"I want to see how bad this game is..."

Mai did not expect that the audience in the live broadcast room were so curious about this game. Barrages of comments followed one after another, and the audience appeal was unexpectedly good.

He glanced at the number of people in the live broadcast room in the upper right corner. It was broad daylight and most people were busy working, so there were not many people watching the live broadcast.

In that case, he might as well try out this new game. As for the horror game, it would be better to save it for the evening show.

"Okay, let's try it." Mai decisively clicked on the purchase interface of this new game and found that it actually cost two US dollars. He frowned. How could a small cartoon game be so expensive?

It’s not that I can’t afford it, I just feel it’s not worth it.

Seeing that netizens were also complaining about the expensive game, he simply bought it, calling it "eating shit for the brothers!"

The audience was very happy with the host's self-deprecating jokes, and they all started to say "The host ate it for me, so we won't eat it."

Some viewers who had some spare change gave him tips on the spot, saying that he should not suffer any loss.

"Thank you Trump for the golden beans."

Mai grinned when he received the gift. He didn't expect that this game would be so popular. He made money right after it was launched.

He downloaded the game while the iron was hot, and clicked on it after the installation was complete. It took up very little memory, worthy of being a small game.

Just as he was waiting for the game to load, a slightly eerie cry and the game music scared him so much that he shivered.

"What the hell?"

Having played horror games for so many years, he considered himself to be quite brave, but he didn't expect that such a cartoon-style game could have such a scary BGM.

The netizens who commented on the barrage were also shocked. Only then did they remember that this game is called Plants vs. Zombies and there are zombies in this game.

Mai did not take this little episode seriously. After going online, he first typed his name in the game nickname, and then clicked on the words "new game" on the tombstone.

The first level of the game is simple: collect sunlight on a lawn to plant peas and defend against zombies across the street.

"It's too simple...but the background is very touching."

To him, this game was incredibly simple, but the background music was too brainwashing. As each plant swayed, he began to nod his head unconsciously.

The following levels are not difficult, but the various plant skills are very interesting.

Just when he was not paying much attention, he suddenly noticed that in the fifth row of the garden, a zombie wearing an iron bucket on his head had walked to the middle.

"When did this happen?"

He tried in a hurry to plant plants to resist, but found that when he was choosing plants, he was only thinking about fighting zombies and did not bring sunflowers that collect sunlight.

Now, he can no longer take out a ray of sunshine.

"No!"

He just felt that the natural growth of sunlight was so slow. Just when he finally planted a Pea Shooter to save the situation, the Iron Bucket Zombie had already walked to his doorstep, and in two moves, all the hundred sunlights were wasted.

“Consumer fraud!”

Before he could react, he saw zombies breaking into the door. The eerie background music sounded again, and the words "Your brain has been eaten" popped up in the center of the screen.

Not very harmful, but very insulting!
Mai gritted his teeth and even forgot to act for the audience. He continued to fire again without stopping. It was just that he was not paying attention just now, so it was not considered a failure!
After he got serious, this level was not stressful, but the further he played, the more he failed, as he watched all kinds of weird zombies break through the numerous defenses and rush towards his "brain".

Mai, who had been sitting in front of the screen for a long time, finally broke down.

"shit!"
