Chapter 87: First-Person Video Sparks Discussion
Chapter 87: First-Person Video Sparks Discussion
Su Yu was unaware of the players' discussions. After using the "Megaphone," he logged out and prepared to sleep. Although wearing the helmet while logged into the game allowed for a "light sleep" state, the brain remained highly active during the game, so every player still needed 5-7 hours of normal sleep daily to avoid brain damage, much like a certain unlucky Snow Leopard that had been forcibly logged out.
Sighing, Su Yu sat up in bed and stretched lazily. The strength he had manifested in the game had once again enhanced his own, a feeling that particularly fascinated him. He exercised a bit in the living room, took a shower, and then prepared to sleep. However, before sleeping, he thought about the "Chapter 8 of the Princess Line" video he had recorded that day.
"I should upload the video to the internet first. During my sleep, the forum experts might uncover some information I overlooked."
With that thought, Su Yu sat in front of his computer. He exported the video from the helmet and uploaded it to the "First-Person" video section of the official website.
The "First-Person" video section was a paid area. According to the information Su Yu had obtained in his previous life, this was a method used by the "Game Inspector of the Songer Civilization" to earn some extra income. The mention of the Inspector earning extra income actually traced back to the initial invasion by the Skrullians.
At the start of the Skrullian invasion, if the entire spiritual energy of the Blue Star was divided into 10 parts, the Songer Civilization would take 9 parts. The remaining 1 part would be released in the form of a "Spiritual Energy Spring," which the Skrullians would occupy. Then, the Songer Civilization would use 3 parts of the spiritual energy to empower a world that had been abandoned, creating the game "Evolution."
The remaining 6 parts, of course, served as "labor fees." Since there were no in-game purchase options, the Game Inspector of the Songer Civilization did not benefit from it and only received a basic salary. He dared not demand benefits from the Blue Star government, as the rules prohibited it, and any violation would result in the death penalty.
Thus, the Inspector resorted to a workaround, adding a "First-Person" video feature to the game to earn some extra income. In this video section, players could set their own prices, ranging from a minimum of 0.1 Zhenhua Coins to a maximum of 100 Zhenhua Coins. They could also set their own revenue sharing ratio, from a minimum of 20% to a maximum of 70%.
The higher the video quality, the lower the required revenue sharing ratio, and the more website promotion resources received. The Inspector used this method to earn a bit of extra money, which he then used to "fairly" exchange for spiritual energy with the Blue Star government.
Su Yu was very clear about all of this. Without a second thought, he set the video price to 0.6 Zhenhua Coins and the revenue sharing ratio to the highest 70%.
0.6 Zhenhua Coins was the conventional price for each chapter of the main storyline in his previous life, and Su Yu did not want to break that tradition. Setting the revenue sharing ratio to 70% meant that he would be insulated from any website promotion resources and recommendation slots, unless someone directly searched for his personal account, in which case they would not see his video.
However, Su Yu did not care. Relying on his influence in the game, posting a thread on the forum would have a better effect than the website's homepage recommendation, so he did not need to worry about promotion.
After uploading the video, Su Yu went to the forum to post a thread, informing the players about the video and encouraging those interested in the main storyline to watch it.
...
Although it was already two in the morning, there were still many night owls night ow night chatting and chatting in the forum.

on the forum.
After Su Yu's post went up, the number of replies quickly soared to several hundred.
"Starcrusher is posting again! His last one was a guide for the Green Green Grassland."
"Main storyline? What's that?"
"Didn't you know about the main storyline? From the bits of information the official site has leaked, the main storyline is the ultimate quest for each data patch! The best quest rewards are all here!"
"Ultimate quest? No wonder he levels up so fast!"
"Let's go check it out!"
"Sure, let's go."
Players flooded the official site's video section, and the view count for Su Yu's video gradually climbed to around five or six hundred.
When they saw the video's price was 0.6 Psychic Coins, many players muttered, "He's really greedy."
Now, most players upload their videos for the lowest price of 0.1 Psychic Coin, but Starcrusher's price was considered high.
However, those who could afford the helmet didn't mind the 60 cents and chose to watch.
Upon entering the video, their perspective merged with Su Yu, following his main viewpoint as he moved forward.
The majestic imperial palace, the golden and splendid grand hall, the lavishly decorated entrance, and the intricately carved pillars—all the empire's most exquisite architecture converged here, delighting the players.
Entering the grand hall, numerous imperial leaders either sat or stood inside.
The imposing and powerful Xi Fan sat on the high imperial throne, a loli but with a solemn expression.
All of this suddenly made the players feel that the 60 cents was worth it!
For the next 10 minutes, the princess and various ministers discussed the empire's military and political affairs, deliberating on the matter of negotiating with the rebel leader in Maple City.
In the final seconds of the video, Calderon ran over to Su Yu and respectfully said, "Master Starcrusher, the princess has summoned you!"
The scene ended there.
After watching the video, the players felt unsatisfied and quickly headed to the forum to discuss it.
"Did you notice? At the end, that guard called Starcrusher 'Master.' What's that title?"
"I don't know, but Starcrusher's price is really high! Six times more than others!"
"Be content, this is the main storyline, and there's no other place for it."
"From this video, we learned a lot of crucial information, like the princess heading to Maple City to negotiate with the Kaler rebel army."
"Right, this route will likely include many hidden quests in Maple City, so everyone should keep an eye out."
"Can anyone analyze what they said in the beginning about the internal affairs? Something about 'conscription' and 'recruitment,' I don't understand what they're talking about."
"I know this. In the early feudal dynasties, it was generally the conscription system, where soldiers joined the military to achieve class advancement and expand the territory, making them extremely powerful, like in the early Tang and Han dynasties."
"After the dynasty's decline, it shifted to the recruitment system, as seen in 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms,' 'An Shi Rebellion,' and 'Iron Blood Great Conquest.' It seems the Golden Sparrow Imperial House has no soldiers left to conscript and can only recruit refugees to implement the 'recruitment system.' The empire's decline is inevitable."
"How do you know so much?"
"Hehe, to be honest, I've experienced all these dynasties."
"Get lost, stop joking!"
"What video are you talking about? Give a link?"
"Search for 'Starcrusher' on the official site's video section."
...
No matter what, the video became a hit on the forum.
