85: Chapter 85 Revenue Begins to Soar
Not long after the popularity of the dragon fist skin skyrocketed.
That night.
A new trending topic once again fueled the spending desires of many players.
"Got dragon fist in six yuan."
Zhou Lei posted a screenshot of his draw: a first recharge of six yuan, a one-shot success, and there was dragon fist Lee Sin lying quietly in his inventory without spending another cent.
As expected, the comments under the screenshot were uniformly full of people trying to "absorb his luck."
"Is your lifespan still sufficient?"
"Six yuan? I recharged six yuan and only got a common skin."
"It's all six yuan, why is yours a dragon?"
"Suck, suck, suck! I'm draining your luck! Hahahaha, your luck belongs to me now—damn, Rusty Blitzcrank."
After seeing this trending topic, a large number of players had only one thought: Six yuan isn't expensive anyway, let me try my luck. What if I win?
But many players didn't know.
That first draw for six yuan is often the beginning of getting carried away.
...
Shadow Zed changed his stream title tonight.
"Not ending the stream until I pull dragon fist."
As a professional streamer specializing in Zed in league of legends, his previous video of a triple-kill in an instant had over ten million views across many platforms.
Now, the number of viewers in his stream every day exceeds one hundred thousand.
But he didn't play Zed today; instead, he chose to draw for skins. If it were just any limited skin, he might not have had much desire to spend.
But from the trending topic, he already understood the meaning of this skin and who the prototype was.
"I've been a fan of Bruce Lee since I was a child."
"I've watched every Bruce Lee movie more than ten times."
He said to the camera, his tone carrying a rare sense of seriousness.
"So."
"I must get this skin!"
"I have a premonition that my luck is extremely good today. It's very likely I'll get it for six yuan. If not, I'll definitely get it for a few hundred yuan at most. I just went to the temple this morning and drew a top-tier fortune!"
After Shadow Zed finished speaking, the chat scrolled by rapidly.
"Streamer, go for it!"
"Is the big spender going to spend again?"
"It drops between two thousand and five thousand. If the streamer's luck is really that good, he should be able to pull it for at most one thousand."
Shadow Zed first recharged six yuan, clicked draw, and a golden light flashed.
A legendary skin.
Although it wasn't dragon fist, it was still a decent legendary skin worth over a hundred yuan.
Shadow Zed's eyes lit up.
"Luck is good today. I got a legendary on the first pull; my luck is really quite good."
"My intuition is maxed out; I'll definitely get it within ten pulls!"
He sat up straight and flexed his fingers.
"Give me a ten-pull!"
He threw in two hundred yuan. The golden light flashed a few times, with epic and legendary skins appearing mixed in. The quality was good, and there were other non-skin rewards, but there was no dragon fist.
The chat began to warn him.
"Streamer, stay calm. The official drop rate is two thousand to five thousand; it's still way too early."
"Didn't you say your luck was good? I was actually fooled just now; I really thought you'd get it in ten pulls."
"This is just the beginning, don't get carried away."
Looking at the screen full of comments, Shadow Zed shook his head, feeling a bit regretful in his tone.
"A pity, didn't get it in ten pulls."
"But my intuition is even stronger now. One thousand, at most one thousand yuan, I will definitely be able to take it home."
He continued to recharge and continued to draw.
Soon.
One thousand yuan went in. The web page's reward inventory was already filled with various skins and rewards, but unfortunately, there was no sign of dragon fist.
The chat had already started trying to persuade him at this point.
"Forget it, forget it. I feel like the streamer will only get it at the pity limit, which is two thousand to five thousand yuan."
"Exactly, might as well just start playing the game."
But among these comments, one was quite jarring to Shadow Zed.
"You've already put in one thousand; it's too much of a pity to stop now. After all, the official side said that once you reach two thousand yuan, the probability of getting dragon fist is very high. Spend another thousand, and there's a high probability it will drop. What if it's the next ten-pull?"
At this moment, Shadow Zed's eyes were already a bit bloodshot, and he was slightly getting carried away.
Looking at this comment, he took a deep breath.
"Continue!"
"One more thousand, and it will definitely drop!"
"My intuition is exploding; after all, the probability is already very high after two thousand yuan!"
...
A few minutes later.
"It's already two thousand. According to the official probability, the odds for each draw now are quite high. At most, at most another three thousand, and it's basically one hundred percent."
"I've already thrown in two thousand; it's too much of a loss not to continue."
"What if it's just one ten-pull away?"
Countless comments floated in the stream.
And among these comments, one flew by rapidly, once again hitting right on Shadow Zed's hesitation.
"You've come this far. If you don't pull it out, the previous two thousand will have been spent in vain. Are you... willing to let that happen?"
Shadow Zed looked at this comment and took a deep breath.
"Bring it on!"
...
"Forget it, streamer, your luck is bad today."
"Most people get it between two thousand and five thousand. You hit the unluckiest bracket; you haven't even pulled it after five thousand yuan."
"Did you mistake a bottom-tier fortune for a top-tier one?"
"Continue, continue, let me see how much more you're going to draw."
This time.
Shadow Zed was completely carried away, not even looking at the chat, and took out his phone to recharge again!
At the same time, because the effect was explosive, many viewers also started sending gifts, wanting to see how much it would take for Shadow Zed to win.
Another ten-pull, still nothing. Another ten-pull, still nothing.
Shadow Zed couldn't remember how many times he had recharged. He only remembered his finger constantly clicking draw. The golden light flashed again and again, and the skins in his inventory increased, but there was still no sign of that dragon.
Finally.
After who knows how long.
A golden dragon soared from the center of the screen.
dragon fist, Lee Sin!
Shadow Zed sprang up from his chair, raising both hands above his head.
"I got it! Finally got it!"
His eyes were bloodshot, but the smile on his lips couldn't be contained. He looked like he had just finished a decisive ranked match.
He shouted crazily at the camera.
"Who said my luck was bad just now! Come out!"
"I told you, my luck today is explosive. I said I'd pull it, and I definitely would!"
At this time, the number of viewers in the stream had exceeded three hundred thousand, and the chat was scrolling crazily.
"The streamer has gone crazy!"
"Hurry up and check how much you spent in total; stop talking about good luck."
"The streamer is so popular on Douyin and earns quite a bit every month. He owes his popularity to league of legends, so giving back a bit is normal."
Reminded by the chat, Shadow Zed lowered his head and clicked on the recharge history. When the number popped up, he was stunned.
Cumulative recharge: ten thousand two hundred yuan.
Because he got more and more carried away as he recharged, he didn't even notice he had actually spent ten thousand, which was twice as bad as the official probability.
However, although he spent a lot, he had gained a large number of skins. Plus, he became popular because of league of legends and had liked Bruce Lee for many years.
So, after seeing dragon fist lying in his inventory, Shadow Zed didn't actually feel like he had lost out.
...
Shadow Zed was not an isolated case.
All over the world, countless players with decent incomes gradually got carried away during the lucky draws.
A game streamer in North America was streaming the dragon fist draw on Twitch, pulling from one hundred dollars until one thousand dollars before it dropped, which, when converted to Daxia currency, slightly exceeded the normal probability.
However, most players did indeed pull dragon fist between two thousand and five thousand Daxia currency.
Although Bruce Lee also has considerable popularity overseas, the bulk of this skin's sales remained domestic.
The first day the event went live was just the beginning.
In the following days, countless players began to spend, and the revenue of league of legends increased at an incredibly exaggerated speed.
Soon.
It was the fourth day since the event started.
...
(PS: In addition to the total gift amount exceeding one hundred, every one hundred five-star reviews will also result in an extra chapter. Thanks for your support!)
