27: Chapter 27 Streamer Sao Hei
And at this very moment,
there was another person who also played heroic battle records following all of this.
He was also in Modu.
His ID was Sao Hei.
He didn't just simply play heroic battle records;
he was also a streamer.
Previously, he had played league of legends,
but that field was too crowded,
and he couldn't achieve any results at all.
As for becoming a pro player,
he didn't have the talent,
and as a streamer,
he couldn't out-compete others.
Penguin had just launched heroic battle records,
and after playing it casually, he fell in love with it,
because the game was very similar to league of legends,
and more importantly,
mobile games were relatively much simpler to control,
and he soon broke into the top ten of the entire server.
He could no longer be considered just a skilled expert;
he was already a top-tier god.
With such impressive results,
he chose to become a streamer.
In this era, the internet was still very laggy,
so there weren't many people who could watch livestreams smoothly,
but as one of the top-tier players in heroic battle records,
he still garnered a lot of attention from players,
and many people would wait in his livestream room every night to watch him play heroic battle records.
That day, the game happened to be updating.
After ending his stream,
he set his phone aside to let it update slowly on its own,
and then went to sleep.
In any case, as long as it finished updating before his stream the next day, it would be fine.
As a streamer,
the device he used
had to be the best;
after all, it was the tool of his trade.
He didn't use a domestic device;
it was an Apple device from myPhone.
Because when it came to screen mirroring,
Apple was in a league of its own,
so since he started streaming,
he had always used Apple devices.
Apple still had extremely outstanding performance in this era;
it could be called the flagship of flagships.
The smoothness of an Apple was incomparable to other android phones,
at least in this day and age.
At this time, the idea ingrained in people was also that
android would become very laggy after a year or two,
whereas with an Apple,
it wouldn't lag even after seven or eight years.
This led to Apple's positioning being very high-end.
The price of the Apple 6 Plus that Sao Hei was currently using had reached around 15,000,
and even if you had the money, you might not be able to buy it;
you had to wait for Apple to go on sale and then rush to the specialty store to snag one.
Some people even chose to sell a kidney
just to get an Apple 6;
news like this had even made the headlines.
But regardless,
in this era,
Apple's influence was still very significant,
incomparable to other android phones.
Even if domestic android phones could sell for nine thousand or ten thousand,
and even if they sold very well,
it was basically achieved through deceiving customers,
because the performance of android phones nowadays was indeed absolute garbage.
Since Sao Hei had chosen to become a streamer,
the device he used was naturally the most professional;
he also wanted to bring the best viewing experience to his audience.
He had asked a friend abroad to help him buy this Rose Gold Apple 6 Plus.
Before starting his stream that day,
he followed his routine and first opened the heroic battle records game forum,
which had now been renamed the honor of kings game forum,
to see if there was any news today.
As soon as he entered the forum, he saw several extremely popular posts,
all with a huge number of replies,
and he noticed they were all posted by Blood-Red Pupils.
He clicked into the posts one by one,
and got a general understanding of what had happened.
"What an idiot.
This blogger is really a bit too irrational.
This is a classic case of playing a game only to be played by the game."
Sao Hei couldn't help but comment.
Then, he briefly browsed the comments under these posts
and found that the vast majority of players were complaining that they couldn't enter the game at all,
and even if they could, it was extremely laggy,
making it impossible to play normally.
Sao Hei was a bit puzzled.
Was it really as exaggerated as everyone said?
Could the game really have been changed to such an absurd extent?
Sao Hei closed the game forum
and soon started his livestream.
At this moment, almost none of his fans could enter honor of kings,
so when they saw Sao Hei start streaming,
they all clicked in to join the excitement.
"Streamer, streamer, can your phone play honor of kings?"
"The streamer is still streaming?
Haven't you noticed that almost no one is streaming heroic battle records todayβ
oh wait, honor of kings?
No one's devices can run it.
Some streamers are just playing recordings,
and most aren't even streaming at all."
"I still feel like the name heroic battle records sounds better than honor of kings;
I often get it wrong after the name change."
...
Looking at the screen full of bullet chat that was mostly skeptical,
Sao Hei spoke up.
"I saw what was said online.
Many people say that you can't enter honor of kings at all now,
but what kind of phones are they using,
and what kind of phone am I using?
This is a noble Apple!
And the latest Apple 6 Plus at that!
How could there be a game my phone can't play!"
Sao Hei was very confident about this.
After all, this phone had cost him 15,000 bucks!
It was bought with cold, hard cash!
And he also believed
that Apple phones were just smoother than other android phones.
None of the android camp could even put up a fight;
even the most expensive ideal a8 currently on the market couldn't run honor of kings smoothly,
and now, he was going to show his audience how awesome Apple was!
"I just saw on the forum
that there were several Apple phone users
who also said their phones couldn't play honor of kings."
Another bullet chat message said.
Sao Hei shook his head repeatedly: "How is that possible?
You're listening to his nonsense!
Those kinds of posts don't even have a single picture;
you really believe him just because he says he's using an Apple phone?
People like that are just trying to show off
and seeking attention."
What Sao Hei said actually made sense.
In this era, having an Apple phone
was indeed a symbol of status and position,
so if someone were to show off like that,
it was perfectly logical.
"Streamer, stop bragging.
Hurry up and start a game,
let us see just how awesome Apple is!"
Many bullet chat messages were shouting for Sao Hei to start the game.
However, Sao Hei glanced at his stream's popularity;
it had already surpassed his all-time high,
and was even continuing to rise steadily.
This was because many other streamers hadn't started their streams at all,
so basically all the heroic battle records players had flooded into his room.
He didn't know if his Apple 6 Plus could run honor of kings smoothly either,
but if it couldn't,
wouldn't everyone in his stream just leave?
So he wasn't in a hurry to start the game,
stalling for as long as he could,
just to let the popularity of his stream climb a bit higher.
"Seriously, streamer, what are you waiting for?
Start the game already!
Didn't you say Apple is the best?
Hurry up and let us see for ourselves
if an Apple phone can actually play it!"
"Yeah, if the streamer doesn't start the game soon, I'm reporting!"
"Streamer, please, just start the game and let us see!"
The bullet chat in the room grew more and more frequent,
soon covering the entire screen.
Quite a few people were also sending gifts to Sao Hei,
wanting him to start a game quickly.
Finally, Sao Hei felt that the number of people in the stream had almost reached its peak,
and if he kept waiting, those people might start leaving,
so he turned on his Apple 6 Plus.
"Brothers, it wasn't that I didn't want to start the game;
the game was just downloading and installing in the background,
and it only just finished.
Let me mirror my screen."
As he spoke, Sao Hei skillfully mirrored his Apple phone to the computer,
and the audience in the stream could now see the screen of Sao Hei's Apple phone.
"Just finished downloading? Is it hot?"
Many people asked.
Hot my foot!
He had downloaded it last night,
and it had been sitting there all night,
so it wasn't hot at all.
So he showed the phone to the audience:
"See?
It's not hot at all.
This is the greatness of Apple!"
Sao Hei's hand gripped the phone;
his expression didn't change at all,
as it really wasn't hot.
"Alright, stop dallying.
Hurry up and launch the game,
let's see if you can get in!"
The bullet chat was urging him again.
So Sao Hei launched the game.
"Timi!"
A very crisp and pleasant sound rang out,
and then he saw a few clouds appear in the sky,
followed by the word "TIMI,"
and then he officially entered the game.
Accompanied by a burst of stirring and powerful music,
he got goosebumps all over: "Holy crap! This is awesome!
It looks like that 1.6 GB update for honor of kings wasn't for nothing!
It's starting to look like a major production!
In a few years, it might even catch up to the PC version of league of legends."
