Chapter 9: Chapter Nine: Grinding Like a Maniac, Outworking the Competition!

The sun sank westward, the afterglow like blood.

At this moment, the gaming streamer Tonghao Mama sat before his computer, his face pale, his eyes streaked with numerous crimson, grotesque blood vessels.

This was the inevitable result of prolonged grinding.

Yet even now, his mental state remained wildly excited.

His gaze refused to leave the computer screen.

More precisely,

he could not bear to abandon the game he was exploring.

If his assistant Xiao Song were beside him now, Tonghao Mama would have bowed his head straight to the floor to express his gratitude.

Without her,

the treasure of a game called Genshin Impact might never have been discovered by him.

To be honest,

this game completely overturned his perception of 2D games.

Who knew 2D games could be anything other than trashy money-grabbing affairs—and could be executed this brilliantly?

It had even reached a level of breathtaking excellence.

Even more astonishing,

after playing for just over ten hours, Tonghao Mama began to question his very life.

Appetite and desire are human nature!

Though this was a truth, Tonghao Mama never considered himself a lewd, base degenerate.

He was certainly not the type who fell for every girl he saw.

Yet,

since playing Genshin Impact, he felt his face was swelling from being slapped.

Whenever a new female character appeared in the game,

she always had some unexpected trait that struck his personal preferences dead center.

Tonghao Mama was numb!

He never imagined he possessed so many strange preferences—and that the game’s design team had uncovered them all.

Was he that obviously a pervert?

Of course.

The aspects of Genshin Impact that amazed him were by no means limited to its leggy, fishnet-wearing wives.

The entire game’s storyline, in his view, was also exceptionally outstanding.

The word “explosive” might even be too mild.

Perhaps a better term.

There was absolutely no exaggeration here.

Since becoming a professional gaming streamer, the number of game stories that had left such a deep impression on him could be counted on one hand.

Beyond that, the game’s graphics, art rendering, and everything else were top-tier.

Was this really a mobile game?

Why did he feel its visuals were already on par with most PC games?

Immortal Grass game!

Tonghao Mama took a deep breath; his mind held only one thought: this was the Immortal Grass game he had been searching for!

Originally,

Tonghao Mama had planned to play the game briefly, edit the footage, and replace a previous unsatisfactory game in his video.

But now he was stuck.

It wasn’t that editing the footage was difficult—it was that Genshin Impact’s quality was on an entirely different level from those previous games.

To place it alongside those earlier games

in the same episode of “Weekly Immortal Grass Game Report” would be a total downgrade.

It would only highlight how trashy the others were.

He wasn’t afraid of offending game developers—after all, his blunt critiques were his trademark.

But it was simply unnecessary.

After long contemplation, a look of resolve flashed across Tonghao Mama’s face; he made a bold decision.

Then,
