Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

In the live streaming sections of various websites.

This phenomenon is even more obvious. Leaving aside regular live streaming platforms, a glance reveals that Red Alert Online streams are everywhere. Even on Bilibili, Red Alert Online streams dominate.

"Red Alert Online vs. Heroes of Might and Magic III?"

"What to play today? Hey, do I even need to choose? Red Alert Online is definitely the way to go!"

"No, brother, I didn't accept the order!"

"Really, I'm not a shill. How should I put it? I'm not a Starfire hater either. I play Starfire games too. But let's be objective. Red Alert Online is a new game, while Heroes of Might and Magic Online is just a remake of an old game."

"Of course we'll play the new game."

"Brothers, listen to me, Red Alert Online is going to be a non-wipe beta this time."

"This open beta is the same as a public beta."

"Hey guys, it's available for download now! Let's form a league together and charge!"

"Friends on Bilibili, I, Qiang Ge, would never cheat you!"

Yan Daqiang glanced at the number of viewers on the live stream and wiped the sweat from his brow.

Thankfully, the popularity is still pretty good.

He appeared cheerful on the surface, but deep down he was already somewhat regretful.

They shouldn't have come to Bilibili to do commercial orders for that little bit of money.

Although Yan Daqiang had previously done live streaming on Bilibili for a period of time and had over 100,000 followers, he found that live streaming on Bilibili was not profitable.

Therefore, Yan Daqiang switched to Douyu last year.

However, this time the business deal from Tencent was too demanding, requiring not only a live stream but also a specific Bilibili platform.

It's not that penguins are difficult.

It's because Yan Daqiang doesn't have enough fans on Douyu.

Bilibili is the main target platform for Tencent this time. Even those with only a few hundred thousand or even tens of thousands of followers can get orders.

To secure this business deal, Yan Daqiang even re-broadcast his show on Bilibili a few days in advance.

Fortunately, Yan Daqiang doesn't have many fans on either side, and no one has signed a contract with him.

Otherwise, he really couldn't have accomplished this.

In any case, after all the trouble, Yan Daqiang managed to secure the business deal and earn the money.

All I need to do next is stream Red Alert Online for three days.

This task shouldn't be too difficult.

Yan Daqiang himself can indeed be considered a fan of Red Alert.

"It's absolutely fun, Red Alert Online. Didn't the producer release a video about it a few days ago?"

"I saw they were even making jokes in there; the way they pronounced 'sir yes sir' was pretty standard."

Interact while doing so.

Yan Daqiang opened WEGAME.

The game was downloaded well in advance, of course.

It was 10 a.m.

"The server's open? Why is it open a little earlier than expected?"

Yan Daqiang was still a little confused, but the comments section already understood and was flooded with messages.

"Because Xinghuo likes to launch its servers early, Heroes of Might and Magic III Remastered is now available for download..."

"Haha, never mind that, opening the server early is a good thing, let's go!"

I was going to make a joke, but then I remembered that the order required me not to mention Xinghuo at all.

So Yan Daqiang quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"It's in!!"

"Look at this CG, hmm, who is the ghost? Ah, the ghost is Yuri, you know what censorship means."

"That base vehicle is awesome."

"Set up the base, that's it, that's the taste."

Up to this point in the game, Yan Daqiang has been quite relaxed. Although he doesn't know why the opening CG is in portrait mode, with only the middle section showing up.

It was done pretty well, but the CG ended as soon as it was over.

His blood pressure spiked immediately.

Now we've arrived at the actual gameplay footage.

A strong sense of browser game quality hits you, with highly saturated buildings, colorful buildings of various styles, and vertical UI on the left and right sides.

"Hmm? This...this UI...is so nice, so unique."

Once you enter the game.

After the opening animation, Red Alert Online gave Yan Daqiang a rude awakening.

Although the screen is in landscape mode, the game's UI is on the left and right.

They appear on both sides of the game.

And like Spring Festival couplets, they are vertical.

It lacks any sense of design; it feels like the UI layout of a mobile phone version has been applied to a PC.

On a mobile phone, the UI arranged horizontally doesn't matter because the screen is vertical, but on a PC it's horizontal.

It looks really weird.

What's even stranger is the two huge recharge buttons at the top of the screen, emitting strange lights.

A noble family, a shopping mall.

It's like the banner in a couplet.

"These visuals are really great! The buildings, the vehicles... it brings back so many memories, doesn't it? It's even better than the original PC version, the graphics are really high quality."

Despite the UI issues, Yan Daqiang reluctantly built a mine, oil well, heavy industry, and training tanks, following the prompts.

Then a bunch of complaints popped up in the comments section.

[Is there a V3 in the Allied buildings?]

Why does this feel so familiar?

[It's ridiculous that the mine wouldn't even make a model of a minecart.]

If the main interface just now wasn't anything special...

As soon as Yan Daqiang made his move, the live chat exploded with complaints.

If the game quality is poor, there's nothing that can be done. Yan Daqiang can only grit his teeth, ignore the comments, and continue to hype up the nostalgia.

Then came the recruitment phase.

A little recruitment.

Goodness, half the screen is occupied by the card-drawing interface.

Several busty women appeared in the frame.

The comments section below suddenly became lively, with messages flooding in.

[Haha, you call this a faithful recreation?]

[The gacha system was recreated, it's hilarious!]

[Stop trying to defend yourself, streamer, it's hilarious.]

[Just play Heroes of Might and Magic III Remastered. This game is obviously trash and pay-to-win; what's the point of streaming it?]

Yan Daqiang wiped away his sweat.

"Hey... well, it's just a girl, drawing cards is normal."

I awkwardly offered a couple of explanations, then continued to spout nonsense based on the copy provided by Tencent.

"Don't just look at the gacha part, the rest is still very fair and faithful to the original."

I continued watching despite the barrage of comments.

Entering the large map.

Once the screen switches to the large map, the connection with Red Alert is basically over.

Under Yan Daqiang's control.

【Huh? Isn't this the Clash of Kings?】

What the heck, is this Red Alert?

[Even changing the skin doesn't require much effort.]

Goodness, that's an exaggeration.

And after conquering the first piece of land, the golden, glittering combat power that appeared in the upper left corner was even more amusing.

"Well, although the gameplay is a bit similar, that's actually quite normal."

"At least our games have a conscience."

Yan Daqiang had just finished speaking.

The system then popped up a window.

[Commander, you can currently only deploy one contingent. Increasing your Noble Rank to 4 or higher will allow you to add another contingent.]

Chapter 43: The word-of-mouth exploded!

...

"Noble tier? Uh, that's normal, it's VIP, every game has that."

"Let me see, how much does it cost to become a top-tier noble?"

Upon opening the VIP interface, Yan Daqiang announced a new order, along with an additional 1 diamonds, intending to show off his wealth and flaunt his status.

Upon opening the Noble interface...

After looking at the introduction to the VIP level, wow, that's really something.

From Noble 1 to Noble 18.

There are 18 tiers in total, and upgrading is only related to how much you recharge; the more you recharge, the higher your tier.

"Huh? How much does a Noble 18 cost?"

"Holy crap! We have to go for it! 30! 30? It takes 30 to reach Noble 18?"

See this scene.

Even Yan Daqiang didn't know what to say; he certainly didn't have 30.

It was really awkward.

At this point, the viewers in the live chat realized that this guy had definitely placed a fake order, but instead of leaving, the players started watching the spectacle.

The nature of it has changed.

In this situation.

Yan Daqiang's live streams are becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

This noble status did indeed put him in a somewhat awkward position.

In the end, I could only make a couple of jokes, then closed the VIP interface and continued.

Then he got stuck.

Yes, the game is stuck.
