Ch.4

At noon, roommates returned one after another. Jason carried a plastic bag filled with recently purchased Pizza.

"Losmemy, you've so dare, skipping classes again? But lucky for you, the dean didn't call attendance this time," Jason remarked with a grin.

Other roommates were busy opening their laptops.

"No classes in the afternoon, how about some War of avenger?" suggested one.

"Sure, let's get started. Jason, where are you?" let's play.

"I'll be there in a moment; I haven't finished my pizza yet."

"Hurry up, stop dragging your feet. Who's going to call people from other dorms?"

In the dormitory, others had already set up small tables on their beds, opening their laptops. The living conditions at the school were tough, lacking even a bed table, so they had to sit cross-legged on their beds to play games.

Losmemy had been suspecting that his back discomfort originated from these moments. To ensure the best gaming experience, despite having his computer in the dorm, many students still preferred going to internet cafes.

Jason, holding a Pizza with plastic-wrapped food, quickly took a few bites, lifted the plastic bag, and tossed it into the trash bin.

Today was fine; they had classes in the morning, so everyone bought their lunch from the cafeteria. If there were no morning classes, they would all be lying on their beds in the afternoon.

As soon as someone decided to go to the cafeteria, others would immediately start "helping to pack."

Of course, later on, food delivery emerged, but at that time, without food delivery apps, students with financial difficulties would run errands and do part-time jobs to earn some living expenses.

Jason shouted outside, and soon, the gaming room was filled with people.

Losmemy glanced at the computer screen, seeing a 5v5 battle game called "War of Avenger," similar to Dota but with a completely different aesthetic.

In terms of time, "League of Legends" (LOL) gained popularity around 2011; 2010 had it too, but it was rough. This was according to Losmemy's memories; now, with significant changes in the world, the existence of "LOL" was uncertain.

MMORPGs still dominated internet cafes at this time, with the most popular game being "R.O."

"War of Avenger" was indeed popular, but its fervor was higher in dormitories because it wasn't purely an online game. While it could be played in internet cafes with a battle platform, its popularity couldn't surpass MMORPGs.

"Losmemy, why do you seem so dazed today? Haven't you woken up?" Jason teased.

Losmemy shook his head: "No, you guys go find someone else."

"Alright, I'll grab someone from the neighboring room," Jason said without much questioning.

Soon, both their dorm and the adjacent one were filled with excitement.

"Hey, our mid-lane player is gone, be cautious!"

"He killed me, how did he do that?"

"Haha, three against one and still got counter-killed, Noob!"

Losmemy stood behind Jason, watching him rapidly click the mouse, his left hand tapping the keyboard, creating a clattering sound. It seems like a Pro player.

However, looking at the stats afterward, with a team score of 12-7 within the first 7 minutes, and Jason's score being 0-5-2, Losmemy couldn't help but sigh. In the 2010, everyone was young, able to experience the joy of gaming, which he found delightful.

After starting to work, he bought many games, all of them good, but after purchasing, they were left untouched, forgotten in his daily routine of work, Facebook, YouTube, and laziness even for a simple game like Mobile Legends.

Fortunately, everything was different now. Just deplete all system funds and lie down to earn money, no need to strive – being a couch potato!

Losmemy lay on his bed, happily envisioning his future.

So, how should he spend the first 50,000 Dollar ?

Well, he had to get a high-end computer first, then go out and rent a house, living a shamelessly comfortable couch potato life.

He couldn't help but chuckle at the thought.

...

So, this episode of "Trash Game Roast" concludes here. If you, dear viewers, find this video enjoyable, please don't forget to like, share, and subscribe!"

In a rented room in Tawau, a young lady with thick eyebrows, vacant eyes, and a dispirited expression sat in front of a computer, recording a video.

She was a well-known content creator on the Toktik gaming platform, known as Cindy, or Midnight Girl, fondly referred to as the "Gaming Channel Mother" by fans because she always shouted "mom" at the end of each episode.

As a full-time content creator, Cindy had some fame and a decent number of fans, but this was still 2010, and in such an environment, she was essentially living meal to meal.

Receiving a quick video job meant treating herself to a good meal at McDonald's. If no video job came, it was a bowl of instant noodles, relying on hunger and endurance to stay in shape.

Cindy had tried various directions, but in the end, the "Trash Game Roast" segment became the most popular, with higher viewership, attracting a group of gaming enthusiasts.

Cindy also had another segment called "New Game Recommendations of the Month," specifically for finding additional income. After all, no game company dared to approach her for an ad video in the "Trash Game Roast" segment.

So, Cindy created "New Game Recommendations of the Month" to make a living. However, the attention this series received was far from comparable to "Trash Game Roast."

After finishing the recording of the new episode of "Trash Game Roast," Cindy hesitated to publish it.

Because she felt something was missing.

Yes, that's right, it lacked a certain feeling.

This time, the game seemed to be so mediocre without any distinctive features!

After going through the entire process of writing scripts, preparing materials, and doing voiceovers, Cindy felt that this episode was acceptable, but no matter how she thought about it, it seemed challenging to create a breakthrough.

This game didn't seem to have the kind of trashy elements that sparked discussions.

This dilemma troubled Cindy, especially considering that her livelihood depended on this. If the video's viewership didn't rise, it would be challenging to secure better ad deals.

Therefore, Cindy didn't rush to release this episode; instead, she habitually checked the official platform's list of new game recommendations, starting to "slowly search."

Before that, feeling a bit hungry, she pulled out a pack of instant noodles, boiled some water, and prepared to replenish her energy.

The water was boiling, and Cindy continued to search for new games.

"'Lonely Journey'? What kind of game is this?"

Cindy read the introduction of this game.

"A simulated driving journey for contemplating life?"

"How do you contemplate life?"

This introduction piqued Cindy's curiosity.

As a full-time video creator in the gaming community, Cindy generally played games that sparked a bit of interest.

She clicked to download the game, and soon, the download completed, automatically
