Core Gameplay of Gacha Games: Saving Up for Draws

The Heroic Sniper began diligently testing the Clothing Destruction mechanics of different characters.

Meanwhile, Fire Knife's initial offense resulted in his live stream being unblocked after 10 minutes.

The first thing he did after restarting his stream was to completely disable the [Clothing Destruction] system.

When trying out other characters, he also zoomed the camera out as far as possible, afraid of accidentally revealing something he shouldn't, which would cause his stream to be shut down by the sensitive censors.

He already had the intention of apologizing to Zhu Meng, and after experiencing a few of the new characters remade in Frost Snow Project during the trial, he deftly picked up his phone.

"First, let's get a 648, as a small token of apology."

The viewers immediately couldn't help but complain:

"What apology? You just want to pull Tong Que, don't you?"

"Just say you like older sisters!"

"I've already @Dao Sao to tell her you're spending your private money on other women. Deal with it yourself."

Fire Knife converted the points he got from the recharge into Raw Ore, and then used the Raw Ore to buy Liquid Gold, starting a ten-pull in the Tong Que up banner.

While pulling, he glanced at the comments.

After noticing everyone was complaining, he generously said:

"I'll give everyone another 648, to celebrate Zhu Meng's revival!"

The direction of the comments immediately changed, and a bunch of "Dao Ge is generous" lottery comments immediately filled the screen.

Viewers are just that easy to please. Compared to Fire Knife's decisiveness in spending money, Qi Huahua was much more stingy.

Among the virtual streamers who released the [Refusal Declaration] yesterday, Qi Huahua had the most fans.

At her level of fans, many virtual streamers would start paying attention to their image and persona, and would start refusing some business deals that would damage their persona.

But Qi Huahua accepted this business deal without even thinking about it.

Not only did she accept it, but she also ran to stream Frost Snow Project at the first opportunity today, not afraid at all that playing this lewd game would affect her persona.

The reason for this was that Frost Snow Project and her positioning were highly similar.

As everyone knows—

[Liking lewd things] is also a persona.

Qi Huahua is like this, her streaming style is mainly a Water Heater (rsq).

Her streaming Frost Snow Project is simply the most fitting episode for her persona, and fans would only think—

"As expected of Qi Huahua!"

Those comments expressing doubts were just asking: "Didn't you refuse it yesterday? Why are you playing it today?"

To these questions, Qi Huahua said righteously: "I refused the promotion, not playing it!"

After saying that, she immediately seamlessly switched to a lecherous voice: "Tong Que big sister, I'm starting~~~"

"Are you ready?"

In the screen full of question mark comments, Qi Huahua pressed the ten-pull.

A four-star rifle, a four-star Huo Huo, eight three-star trash weapons.

"Tong Que big sister, I'm coming again~~~"

Qi Huahua did another ten-pull.

A four-star Bai Wei, nine three-star trash weapons.

Qi Huahua became nervous.

She was a new player who only started playing after watching the trailer yesterday.

She just got 18 pulls from doing the main quest, the version benefits gave 10 pulls after going online, and the other 10 pulls were given by signing in for 7 days, with only 2 pulls on the first day.

Calculating it, she currently only had 30 pulls, and after using 20 pulls, she only had the last 10 pulls left.

If I don't get her after this, I'll have to grind through the story progress and current events to save up Liquid Gold.

"This is my last stash! Accept my love, Sister Tong Que!"

Qi Huahua's voice had gone from that of a lecherous woman to one filled with longing, even tinged with a bit of humility.

Unfortunately, Tong Que did not respond to her yearning.

This time it was a four-star Shuo Feng and nine weapons.

Qi Huahua fell silent.

The game interface remained motionless for quite a while.

But in the end, she rallied her spirits once more: "It's okay! There's still hope!"

"There's still the story and events, I can still pull!"

Some viewers advised her to whale.

Qi Huahua declared: "I, Qi Huahua, will never spend more than the monthly card on a game!"

Having said that, she ignored character traits and optimal team compositions, threw the newly drawn Huo Huo, Bai Wei, and Shuo Feng into a team, and was about to start grinding progress to save up Liquid Gold.

But looking at Shuo Feng, who only had Milk Cap-sized breasts, appearing on the screen, Qi Huahua suddenly stopped her actions and said, "Everyone, wait a moment, I have something urgent."

Before her voice even faded, the screen suddenly switched to the background she used when singing.

Just as the viewers were puzzled, a series of suspicious noises suddenly rang out in their headphones—

"muamuamuamuamua!"

"prprprprprpr..."

"Hehehehehe~~~"

These strange noises didn't disappear until a full ten seconds or so had passed.

And Qi Huahua switched back to the game interface, saying with renewed energy, "OK! Let's go! Saving up dowry money for Big Sister Tong Que!"

Viewers:

"???"

"What strange noises??"

"Gonna be dizzy/fainted by the lesbian."

"Inverted lesbian, tone it down!"

The persona of a virtual streamer, in the end, is also to attract otaku fans.

Even a lewd persona can't be off-putting.

So Qi Huahua's lewd persona is, "I, Qi Huahua, am just like the bros, I love lewd beauties the most!"

Occasionally simping over beautiful big sisters and young ladies has always been a staple of the stream.

Old viewers were already used to it, only new viewers were shocked.

Qi Huahua was in a hurry to draw cards, and having long heard that the Frost Snow Project story was terrible, she didn't have the patience to watch any of the story at this point, only caring about rushing through.

The updated Frost Snow Project added a skip function for most of the story cutscenes.

After skipping, it would also use a sentence or two to describe the gist of the skipped plot.

Qi Huahua was also impolite, skipping as much as she could.

Most of the viewers hadn't played Frost Snow Project, so they were very confused, not knowing what the story was about at all, only seeing characters appear and disappear one after another.

Especially for characters whose remakes hadn't been completed yet, whose Modeling Department precision was so-so, and whose clothes weren't very good-looking, Qi Huahua almost wore out the skip button.

Only when the remade, sexy, and exquisite characters appeared would Qi Huahua be willing to stop skipping and carefully listen to what the characters said.

After the dialogue ended, she would also walk around the character a few times, admiring the character's figure and appearance from 360 degrees.

Truly the epitome of double standards.

Once she had saved up enough for 10 draws again, everyone could only roughly understand the following from the game's environment, monsters, quests, and some dialogue:

Frost Snow Project tells a science fiction story: an unknown disaster descends upon Arda, animals go mad, plants mutate, and even robots awaken their minds and begin attacking humans.

The mysterious substance permeating the air infects and corrupts everything, making the entire world cruel and dangerous.

Afterward, gifted individuals with special powers emerge and rush to the front lines of the fight against the cataclysm.

Naturally, these are the characters that players can draw.

And the player, as the protagonist of the story—the Legendary Investigator—is naturally extraordinary.

Not only is the investigator immune to all corruption from birth, but they can also absorb and dissolve the corruption in other creatures.

Zhuan Lun, the harem novel writer, changed a small setting here:

The investigator must make physical contact to absorb and heal the corruption in other characters.

This is just a small change.

But this change not only created greater room for imagination for the players, but also left convenient entry points for the writing team's future plot creation, fan art creation by the player community's artists, and even the design of interactive skins in the store.

Xu Meng praised him endlessly, directly complimenting Zheng Yi for being a leader in the harem world.

The Animation Department wasn't so happy—

They had to additionally modify the action details of three broadcast segments in the plot.

Qi Huahua wasn't too happy either.

Because the 10 draws she had painstakingly saved up for again yielded absolutely nothing
