Chapter 87 - Chapter 87: First-Person Video Sparks Discussion

**Chapter 87: First-Person Video Sparks Discussion**

Su Yu had no idea what was being said about him among the players.

After broadcasting his message to the in-game community with the "big speaker," he promptly logged out and got some rest.

While wearing a helmet allowed players to enter a "light sleep" mode in-game, it wasn't a complete substitute for rest. Being in the game kept the mind in a constant state of high alert. So, players still needed around 5-7 hours of genuine sleep each day to avoid fatigue or, in severe cases, brain damage. Just like the unfortunate snow leopard player who once stayed online for too long and got forcibly logged out by the system.

Sitting up in bed, Su Yu stretched, feeling stronger than before. His character's growth was mirrored in his own body, and he could feel the thrill of new strength coursing through him.

After a quick workout in his small living room and a refreshing shower, he was about to head to bed. But then he remembered the video he recorded of "The Eighth Ring of the Queen's Line" quest from today.

"Better to upload the video before sleeping," he thought. "The forum's analysts might catch something I missed while I sleep."

Su Yu sat down at his computer, exported the recording from his helmet, and uploaded it to the official website's "First-Person" video section.

---

The "First-Person" section on the official site was a premium area where users could charge for their videos. Based on what Su Yu had learned from his previous life, this setup was designed by the *Singer Civilization* game supervisor to make a little extra income.

To understand why, you have to look back to the beginning of the Skrull invasion.

When the Skrulls arrived, they drained Blue Star's energy: if you imagined all the planet's spiritual energy as ten parts, the Skrulls seized one, while the arrival of Singer Civilization siphoned the remaining nine. Out of that, three parts of the energy were re-channeled to power *Evolution* itself, creating a unique training ground for Earth's players. The remaining six parts? Consider them the "operation fees" for the Singer Civilization.

Since the game had no pay-to-play functions, the game supervisor had to get creative to supplement his "standard wage." He couldn't accept gifts from the Blue Star government due to strict regulations, so he decided to add a "First-Person" video feature to the game as a workaround to earn a little extra.

---

Here, players could set prices for their videos, ranging from a minimum of 0.1 coins to a maximum of 100 coins. They could also choose the profit-sharing ratio from 20% to 70%, with higher-quality videos receiving better website promotion and lower share requirements.

Su Yu knew all this well. He set his video's price at the standard 0.6 coins that was commonly agreed upon for main storyline quests in his previous life and selected the highest 70% share option. This choice meant his video would not benefit from website recommendations, and only those who specifically searched his username would see it.

However, he didn't mind. His influence in the game was already significant, and simply posting in the forums would reach far more players than any website promotion could.

After uploading the video, Su Yu went to the forums and posted an announcement, letting players know about the new upload and inviting anyone interested in the main storyline to watch.

---

It was two in the morning, yet the forums were still buzzing with night-owl players discussing everything from gameplay tips to obscure lore.

When Su Yu's post went up, it instantly drew attention, and replies poured in, quickly pushing the thread to hundreds of comments.

"Nemesis posted again! The last one was the [Green Grasslands] guide!"

"Main storyline? What's that about?"

"Have you been under a rock? The main storyline's the endgame mission of each expansion! The best rewards are found there!"

"Endgame quests? No wonder his level is so high!"

"Let's check it out!"

One by one, players flocked to the official site's video section, and Su Yu's view count gradually climbed from zero to hundreds within minutes.

Seeing the 0.6 coin price tag, some players grumbled, "Isn't that a bit steep?"

Most player-uploaded videos only charged 0.1 coin, so 0.6 was definitely on the high end. But those who could afford a game helmet didn't mind the small extra cost, and they began purchasing access without hesitation.

---

The video was shot entirely from Su Yu's perspective, letting viewers experience his quest journey firsthand. They saw the grand palace, its lavish halls, intricately decorated entrances, and finely crafted pillars—stunning architecture showcasing the empire's elite craftsmanship.

Inside the main hall, imperial elites stood guard or held counsel. The imposing King Xivan sat upon his high throne, while Princess Alizee, with her youthful face yet dignified gaze, held her position with grace.

As players watched, many felt the 0.6 coins were worth every penny.

The following ten minutes showed Su Yu witnessing a high-stakes council meeting on the empire's military and political strategy. The leaders discussed their upcoming diplomatic mission to negotiate with the rebel forces at Maple Leaf City.

Finally, the guard Keelderon approached Su Yu and respectfully said, "Master Nemesis, the princess invites you!"

The video ended there.

---

After watching, players eagerly took to the forums to dissect the video.

"Did you guys hear that? At the end, the guard called Nemesis 'Master'! What's that about?"

"Still, Nemesis sure knows how to charge! Six times the usual rate!"

"Quit complaining; it's the main storyline! No one else has access to this content."

"We learned so much from this—like the princess's plan to negotiate with the rebels in Maple Leaf City."

"Exactly, there must be hidden quests in Maple Leaf City! Keep an eye out."

"By the way, what were they discussing at the start? 'Conscription system' and 'recruitment system'? Can anyone explain?"

"I can. In early feudal systems, there was a 'conscription system' where soldiers would willingly join to move up in rank, like in the early Tang and Han dynasties. Later dynasties switched to the 'recruitment system,' hiring mercenaries to fight, leading to weaker armies and eventual decline."

"How do you know all this?"

"Been through a few historical eras myself."

"Get outta here, jokester!"

"Someone link the video, please!"

"Just head to the official site and search for the username 'Nemesis.'"

---

And so, the video sparked lively discussions in the forums and quickly became the hottest topic of the night.
