Becoming the Richest Man by Starting with a Gam

Find Sucks Game

At noon, the roommates all came back.

Martin was holding a plastic bag, inside which were meals he had just bought from the cafeteria.

"Adam, you really dare to skip class, huh? But you're lucky this time, the vice dean didn't take attendance," Martin said with a look that seemed to say, "What dumb luck you have."

The other roommates, meanwhile, each opened their laptops.

"No class this afternoon, come on, shall we start a game session?"

"Let's do it, quick. Martin, you in?"

"Wait a bit, I haven't finished my meal."

"Hurry up, stop dilly-dallying. Someone go call people from the other rooms."

Everyone else in the room had already set up their small tables on their beds and opened their laptops.

The dormitory's living standard was so poor that there wasn't even a desk under the bunk bed, forcing everyone to sit cross-legged on the bed to play games.

Adam always suspected that his back pain originated from this.

Therefore, for the best gaming experience, even though having their own computers made gaming in the dorm convenient, many students would still go to internet cafes.

Martin, holding a stainless steel lunch box covered with a plastic bag, hurriedly gobbled up a few bites, then tossed the entire bag into the trash can.

Today was okay since there were morning classes, so everyone bought their meals back to eat.

If there were no morning classes, they would all lie in bed like corpses.

Whenever someone decided to go to the cafeteria, the others would immediately start begging to be brought along.

Of course, delivery services eventually appeared, but back then, without delivery apps, it was all done over the phone. Students from poorer families would run these errands as part-time jobs to earn some living expenses.

Martin shouted outside, and the game room quickly filled up.

Adam glanced at the computer screen; it was a 5V5 battle game called "Divine Revelation," similar to DOTA but completely different in packaging.

By the time "League of Legends" became popular, it was starting from 2011, and although it existed in 2009, it was rudely made.

And that was in Adam's previous memories. Now, with such significant changes in the world, it was uncertain whether "League of Legends" would even emerge.

At that time, MMORPGs ruled the internet cafes, with the most popular game being "Fantasy World."

"Divine Revelation" was indeed popular, but it seemed to be more so in dormitories because it wasn't purely an online game.

It could be played in internet cafes and had its battle platform, but it still couldn't match the popularity of MMORPGs.

"Adam, why do you look so dazed today? Didn't wake up properly?"

Martin was puzzled by Adam's state today, "Nine waiting for one, you joining?"

Adam shook his head: "No, find someone else."

"Okay, I'll pull in Old Wang from next door," Martin didn't ask further.

Soon, both their dormitory and the one next door were bustling.

"Hey, the mid lane's missing, watch for ganks!"

"Damn, how did he kill me?"

"Hahaha, three against one and still got counter-killed, noobs!"

Adam stood behind Martin, watching him rapidly clicking the mouse and pressing keys, making the laptop's keyboard click clatteringly, showing off his expert moves.

Then looking at the score, 10 minutes into the game, the team's score was 10-9, Martin's score was 0-0.

While his teammates were frantically fighting, he was missing last hits under the tower.

Adam couldn't help but feel nostalgic; in 2009, everyone was young and could still enjoy the fun of gaming.

After he started working, he bought a bunch of games, all of which were great games, but after buying them, they just collected dust, never remembering to play them.

Exhausted from work every day, lying on the couch, he would only want to browse the web or watch live streams, too lazy to even play mobile games, let alone games that required frequent operations.

Fortunately, everything was different now.

As long as he loses all the system's money, he can earn money lying down, no need to struggle, happily living the life of a salted fish.

Adam lay on his bed, happily imagining his future life.

So, how should he spend this first fifty thousand...

Maybe get a high-end computer first?

Then rent a place to live the shameless life of a salted fish.

Hehehe, Adam couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"So that's it for this episode of 'Trash Games Rant.' If you guys liked this video, please don't forget to subscribe, share, and like!"

In a rented apartment in the capital, a young man with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a listless expression, sat in front of his computer recording a video.

He was a well-known UP master in the game section of the FanShu website, real name Qiao Liang, online name Qiao LaoShi, affectionately called "Godfather of the Game Channel" by his fans because he always calls them "daddy" at the end of each episode.

As a full-time UP master, although Qiao Liang had some fame and fans, it was still 2009, and in such an environment, he basically lived from meal to meal.

Getting a sponsored video would mean dining out lavishly.

Without sponsored videos, it was just a bowl of clear soup with noodles, relying on hunger to lose weight.

Qiao Liang tried many directions, but in the end, the "Trash Games Rant" series was the most popular, with higher viewership and attracting a group of game-loving fans.

Qiao Liang also had a column called "New Game Recommendations of the Month," specifically for sponsorship.

After all, his popular column was "Trash Games Rant," and no game company would dare to sponsor a video in that column.

So, Qiao Liang created "New Game Recommendations of the Month" for sponsorship, but this series was far less popular compared to "Trash Games Rant."

After finishing the latest "Trash Games Rant" recording, Qiao Liang hesitated to publish it.

Because it felt like it was missing something.

Right, a bit of soul.

This time's game seemed trash without any noteworthy features!

After writing the script, carefully creating materials, and dubbing, Qiao Liang felt the episode was decent but couldn't find a way to

make it explode in popularity.

The game was so bad it lacked topicality.

This gave Qiao Liang a headache since he relied on this for his livelihood. If the video's viewership didn't increase, it would be difficult to get better sponsored videos.

So, Qiao Liang didn't rush to publish this episode but habitually clicked on the official platform's new game recommendation list, starting to "pan for gold" in the trash.

Before that, he felt a bit hungry, took out a pack of instant noodles, and boiled some water to refuel.

While the water was boiling, Qiao Liang continued searching for new games.

"Lonely Desert Highway"? What kind of game is this?"

Qiao Liang saw the game's description.

"A journey of simulated driving that makes you reflect on life?"

"How does it make you reflect on life?"

The description piqued Qiao Liang's curiosity a bit.

As a professional video creator in the game section, Qiao Liang would play any game that slightly interested him.

He clicked to download the game, and soon, the game was downloaded and automatically opened.
