Playing games to make money sounds like a beautiful thing, and more and more young people regard it as an ideal career.
The knife-claw (a pseudonym) is one of them. He once ranked the top three in the competition in a competitive game, and he thought about turning interest into a career. His goal is to become the game anchor, but for a long time, he was just a cook. Until half a year ago, the knife-blocking pill took a practical step. At that time, he quit his job and drove to a different place. His relatives introduced a job that was nearly 10,000 a month, and the threshold was low enough to play games. He feels that this is an opportunity to be close to the ideal career.
Unlike the block knife imaginary, it is a GS (game sales) studio, not the cradle of the anchor. The interview was only 20 minutes. He made a retreat on the grounds that he was not good at accompanying him.
“To make money by playing games, you must have at least talent. And I don’t have the resources at hand, and the technology doesn’t work, I can’t make any money.”
He later enlightened himself and thought that only a few people could make money by relying on the game. But blocking the knife is considered unrealistic, and in fact it has become a normal state. Because, with the industrial upgrading and environmental changes, you and I can always see, in addition to professional players and star anchors, more and more ordinary people rely on this business to find their own way out.
But for ordinary people, it’s really beautiful to make money from games? Is this job really ideal? In order to get the answer, Grape King has contacted people who play games, play games, play games, and play games.
The goldsmith in the legendary private service
The 27-year-old Cao Qixin (a pseudonym), living alone, has no job, playing games and rarely interacting with the outside world. He has been in this state for four years and is considered by the mother and relatives to be unpromising.
Before he was unemployed, he had worked for a long time at a gas station under the introduction of relatives, and saved 100,000 yuan. After returning home, 95% of his savings were used to repay his parents and said I want to change the way. However, his resignation was opposed and questioned by his family. CaoQi Xin said that he could not get support and felt that he had no face to see people.
In four years, Cao Qixin did not take the initiative to spend a penny with his family, and his method of subsistence relied mainly on playing gold in the legendary private service. Cao Qixin is not just playing “Legend”, but it is a game he has been familiar with for more than ten years. At that time, his life was so embarrassed that he did not dare to buy cola and eat only steamed potatoes for one meal. But he didn’t want to go out to discuss life, so he had to keep up. He saw an “ideal” way out in the most familiar game.
The experience of Cao Qixin reminds me of the decline of Ito’s sincerity
Cao Qixin is a personal goldsmith. The game time is 8-12 hours per day. The game content is “Daguai” and PK, and thus obtain high-value equipment. After changing the equipment he has hit into currency, he will decide the timing of the exchange into cash depending on the price. He only opens for 3-6 months a year. Every time you earn less, the monthly income is only one or two thousand yuan. According to him, the income earned in the game is its one-year spending guarantee.
Cao Qixin’s income from gold sales
“But I always feel that I am a 27-year-old who is going to play this game to make money. It’s really Low (low level).”
On the way to playing gold, Cao Qixin has a lot of burden inside, and his so-called low level, in addition to the age-appropriate behavior, also includes the act of gaining the trust of others in exchange for resources in their favorite games, despite According to him, this is not intentional.
Cao Qixin said that goldsmiths are not popular in the game and are easily “hunted” by people. Because of this, he feels that his identity is not very glorious in the game. However, there is a group of friends in the game who don’t mind his gold play and regard it as “People who pursue the game”. Despite this, Cao Qixin did not disclose the real dilemma of his own poverty.
He made a “high play” person who didn’t pay for it. In the process of “making a play”, he made money while making money, while part of his income was used to strengthen his combat power; he tempered his skills and actively participated in group battles.He has become a powerful fighter, and released his blood as a second-person in the family voice channel; but he can’t easily sell the money to players of the same power, only to be seen by others; he has to rely on a “garbage” Equipment to challenge the RMB player, and he must be weak and strong to be able to hold the man.
Cao Qixin said that he is not in a good position in the game and is called “Grandpa” by his friends
Through this deliberate disguise, Cao Qixin got the resources of his friends in the game, which improved his gold-raising environment and improved his income. However, this masked act also brought about the so-called aftereffects: on the one hand, it is necessary to take care of both gold and gang activities at the same time. Cao Qixin needs to invest more time and energy, which makes him feel physically and mentally exhausted; on the other hand, Friends sincerely treat each other, he believes that he is trusting and does not dare to have deep contact with other people.
This summer, Cao Qixin, who should have opened again, did not re-login the game. When the friends in the game repeatedly called him to go online through WeChat, he deliberately kept silent and hoped to be forgotten. He told the grape prince that it was time to keep a distance from the good-natured friends, thus ending this indecent gold fight.
Cao Qixin is determined to stay away from friends in the game
“For the friends in the game, I have to fight harder, but every time I get beaten, I have to stand up and fight.”
He said that it was very tired.
Playing a hundred dollars a day to play with
Full-time gold, monthly income of 1,000 yuan, these incomes are placed today, it seems that only barely enough to make ends meet. And a girl who plays games on a second-hand trading platform tells me that it is very easy to earn a thousand dollars by playing games today.
