5: This game is so fun!

Then, Lin Shufen controlled her Gunner and headed to Thunderous Ruins to start fighting monsters.

While playing, she explained, "There were six classes to choose from at the beginning. I picked the ranged damage dealer: Gunner."

"This is the equipment slot, this is the skill list, and the two next to them are the HP bar and the energy bar..."

BBQ, Shuriken, Flamethrower, Cyclone Kick, Bomb Tracker...

One by one, cool moves were displayed in the live stream, and the previously sarcastic viewers instantly quieted down.

"Huh? This game seems quite interesting, it looks really good!"

"What kind of divine skill is this? Kicking a monster so far away? And a machine gun suddenly appeared!"

"The Gatling machine gun was truly unexpected, but the moves were incredibly cool, being able to kick enemies while shooting!"

"The graphics are a bit old, but this game is so fun!"

"Anyway, let's download it and try it. It's only 1 GB, smaller than the antivirus software I installed."

The viewers were captivated by the cool skills; they had never seen a game with such settings and gameplay.

Many people had already secretly minimized the live stream page and were busy downloading Dungeon & Fighter.

As time went on, more and more people entered the live stream.

Even with slightly blurry graphics, this novel game still attracted many onlookers.

Even die-hard fans who usually focused on watching soccer games today were no longer glued to the screen, but were instead engrossed in watching Lin Shufen control her Gunner to clear dungeons and fight monsters.

Lin Shufen's operational skills were also good; in just a few hours, she had mastered the techniques, able to clear dungeons without taking damage on the first try.

After successfully clearing another area, she finally leveled her character up to Level 15.

Not only did she unlock a new map, Hutton Mar, but she also learned some new skills.

"Wow! The scenery here is so vast!"

Controlling her Gunner as she walked through the streets of Hutton Mar, despite the graphics not being super high-definition, she still excitedly looked at the map and the NPC character designs.

"I'll look at it in detail later; let's continue leveling up first!"

Saying that, she quickly accepted a main quest.

Just as she was about to enter a new dungeon to try out her newly learned ultimate moves, a prompt popped up on the screen—stamina depleted, please come back tomorrow morning at 6 AM.

"Ugh, no more stamina to fight."

Lin Shufen said dejectedly, "I really wish this setting could be removed!"

Many viewers also complained about this feature that limited players' time.

This feeling was as frustrating as being engrossed in a game only to be told to stop by your parents.

Moreover, more and more people were watching the live stream now, and the bullet comments were very active.

It was clear that everyone was captivated by this game.

However, it was indeed frustrating to be unable to continue the challenge due to insufficient stamina.

A sudden idea struck her, "I can create a new alt! A new character will have stamina!" She quickly switched back to the character selection interface, preparing to create an alt and introduce the entire process in detail to everyone.

There were six different characters here, each with its exclusive backstory and illustration.

"My dear wife, look at that guy swinging a sword; his arm strength looks amazing!"

"Oh my goodness! That female fighter's body is actually twisting; she's so lifelike, shouldn't we choose her?"

"Madam, why don't you try the uncle with the holy relic?"

"Don't be silly, didn't you notice he's a support character? No one wants to play that! It has to be the Ghost Swordsman!"

"Doesn't anyone think this little girl is cute? I want my sister to see what that little girl looks like!"

"You idiots, why don't you go experience the game yourselves? I've only leveled my Ghost Swordsman to Level 13!"

"Hmph, your level isn't as high as my Gunner; I've already broken through to Level 17!"

Influenced by some players' comments, many viewers couldn't wait to log in to the platform and download the dungeon.

......

By seven o'clock that night, Xu Lian, who had been pulling an all-nighter coding, finally woke up from his desk.

Half-asleep, he logged into the admin backend to check the data.

"One hundred, one thousand... ten thousand... one hundred thousand... My goodness, a million people downloaded the game?" Seeing this astonishing string of numbers instantly chased away all his sleepiness.

When it first launched for testing yesterday, the slow growth in registered users made him think the project might be a flop.

However, in just one day, it had accumulated over one hundred thousand downloads!

It was still steadily increasing with no signs of stopping.

At this rate, it might even break the two hundred thousand mark by tomorrow morning.

Facing such results, he believed it was by no means the result of hype.

So, he opened a well-known live streaming website and browsed the recent popular rankings.

Sure enough, the third-ranked Streamer named "Pink Wings" was live-streaming this game.

After clicking to enter her room, he also became one of her loyal fans.

"With such excellent conditions, why doesn't she go into the dance scene to attract fans?" Xu Lian sighed.

Now he found the answer to the question—thanks to this beautiful Streamer, she inadvertently brought a large amount of traffic to his product.

After silently clicking follow and closing the page, he felt that now was the time to redouble his efforts, as countless tasks awaited him tonight.

Since the top-up system was not yet open, Dungeon & Fighter was not bringing him direct revenue at this stage.

But Xu Lian was not anxious at all.

He would gradually introduce the micro-mall function after more users had experienced the game's content and completely fallen in love with it.

By then, various in-game items would be available for sale.

He firmly believed that most fans would buy them.

This was the so-called hunger marketing strategy.

To make smart players willing to spend money, one had to learn this trick.

"Oh my god! This is too hard! These zombies are practically cheating!"

Yu Waner, who had been up all night, with deep dark circles under her eyes, looked at the rows of zombies surging on the screen and complained angrily.

Yu Waner's character—the Ghost Swordsman—had just reached Level 17, unlocking a new dungeon: Dark Thunderous Ruins.

The challenge difficulty of this dungeon was a step up from the previous Thunderous Ruins.

Not only were there high-HP zombies here, but once bitten by them, she would bleed profusely, and the surrounding zombies' movement speed and attack power would also greatly increase.

To get through the BOSS room, Yu Waner had used up all her revival coins.

Unexpectedly, in the final stage, there were even more zombies in the room, and she was bitten and bled if she wasn't careful.

As a result, not only did the ordinary zombies become more ferocious, but even the BOSS started to go berserk.

Thus, her character ultimately failed to escape the encirclement of a group of zombies and died.

To make matters worse, after each failure, the character would be forced to leave the dungeon and return in a weakened state.

Now, with no way to top up and limited gold coins, she could only patiently wait for her HP and MP to slowly recover.
