Delta: The First Person at the Peak

Chapter 107 The Road Ahead

"You're right, I'm ambitious to become a top streamer, and I do need a partner, but why you?"

Jiang Feng's words were direct and sharp, his gaze fixed on Fang Ningxue. The girl before him, though clear-headed and farsighted, was ultimately just a college student with no practical industry experience—an unavoidable weakness.

"Indeed, I lack industry experience, which is both my disadvantage and my advantage."

Fang Ningxue spoke calmly and clearly: "Lack of experience means a lack of fixed mindset. I will follow your pace, learn continuously, and quickly adjust my strategies. You can take a look first; this is a summary of your current situation and some future plans."

As she spoke, Fang Ningxue lightly tapped the keyboard with her fingertips, opening a new folder.

Jiang Feng looked at the endless stream of materials she prepared and secretly clicked his tongue in amazement. Just how much homework had Fang Ningxue done for this meeting?

The folder contained a detailed analysis report tailored to him personally.

"First of all, your biggest advantage is your skill. There's a clear gap between you and other streamers on the market. Some of your amazing plays are so incredible that I find them unbelievable. Not to mention the average player."

Secondly, your game offers diverse gameplay, pioneering many strategies and playstyles, especially yesterday's "possession" strategy, which I saw received an absurdly positive response and generated a lot of traffic.

She looked up at Jiang Feng, her eyes shining brightly: "In other words, your livestream content is extremely high-quality, unmatched online. This is your most core and irreplaceable competitive advantage!"

Fang Ningxue's fingertips swept across the screen, her tone resolute, as if she were reciting a standard answer that had been carefully considered.

"But there are many things you haven't noticed."

She changed the subject and opened a subfolder, which was filled with screenshots of numerous comments.

"For example, the issue of public opinion." Fang Ningxue pointed to several screenshots, which were full of comments suspecting that Jiang Feng was cheating. There were dozens of screenshots.

"This is a screenshot I took from the comments section of your videos and live stream clips. Although there are quite a few people using cheats, it hasn't reached a large scale yet and can't cause any big waves. We must be careful in advance."

She paused, then added, "Of course, almost every FPS pro and newbie goes through a process of being accused of cheating. Once you get through it, that controversy can actually turn into buzz, and it might even be beneficial in the future. The best example is XDD, who was criticized all the way to the top. It's like the saying 'to rise, you must first suppress; the harder you suppress, the harder you explode.'"

Jiang Feng has personally experienced being accused of cheating. Not to mention his past life, he was almost accused of cheating by An Ke on the very first day of the show, and that An Ke had given him special privileges.

Of course, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, Jiang Feng also gained a lot of benefits, at least attracting a large amount of traffic from An Ke.

"And your current traffic hasn't been monetized at all." Fang Ningxue switched to the next page, which contained an assessment of Jiang Feng's commercial value.

"There's not much to say about business orders. Once your influence expands further, businesses will naturally come to you."

Esports streamers typically only sell a few items: peripherals, snacks, and game promotions.

Her gaze fell on Jiang Feng's face, and she changed the subject: "But now there's a way to monetize it, and you haven't even considered it."

"You don't mean to open an escort club, do you?" Jiang Feng shook his head: "If it's about using my personal reputation to endorse other clubs, then I absolutely won't do it."

Jiang Feng is extremely protective of his reputation; there are certain kinds of money he can earn and others he can't. Furthermore, there are some conflicts and antagonisms between the escorts and ordinary players, though most of these conflicts are caused by the red escorts.

"I understand your concerns." Fang Ningxue said calmly, as if she had expected him to say this. "If you don't want to lend your name to others, have you considered doing it yourself?"

Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat.

He knew, of course, how big the Delta Force escort industry would expand in the future, a pie so big that even game development teams couldn't resist getting a piece of the pie. Especially in this world where Delta Force was even more popular, it was practically a goose that would lay golden eggs indefinitely.

"I don't have that much energy," Jiang Feng admitted frankly, his tone tinged with helplessness. "Opening a support store seems simple, and advertising is manageable, but after-sales service is the real hassle. There are a lot of disputes, and I don't have that much time and energy to deal with these trivial matters."

"What if I could solve these problems?"

She leaned forward slightly, her tone carrying just the right amount of confidence:

"That's the purpose of my existence. You just need to take care of live streaming promotion and attracting customers. I can handle all the club management, operation, recruitment, and the most troublesome after-sales service for you."

Fang Ningxue smiled slightly, confident and elegant:

"Let me introduce myself again. I'm also a Delta Force game streamer, with a stable viewership of several hundred people in my stream, and my fan loyalty is quite high."

"If I hadn't met you, my original plan was to become a streamer myself and gradually build the business." She looked into Jiang Feng's eyes and spoke earnestly, word by word. "I can handle the club's affairs in the future. I can handle all the after-sales operations through live streaming, so I won't bother you."

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up. He only knew that Fang Ningxue was live streaming Delta, but he never thought she had such popularity.

If Fang Ningxue were to take charge of the club's affairs, a female leader who possesses both beauty and ability would certainly be a good asset. He inexplicably thought of Tang Zhou.

However, Fang Ningxue is the more beautiful version...

It seemed like there was real potential, and Jiang Feng was somewhat tempted.

Fang Ningxue added another sentence:

"And you need to know that you are a college student. Starting a club is considered a startup project. The school has real support policies for startups. You can apply for subsidies for venue and funding, so there are hardly any costs in the early stages. Moreover, the resources of college students are also a major advantage for you."

"If you want to start an MCN later, the school will also have corresponding support policies."

These were all points that Jiang Feng had completely overlooked before. He pondered for a moment, his fingertips unconsciously tapping the table, and waved his hand: "You can make a detailed project plan and see how feasible it is."

Fang Ningxue's smile deepened instantly.

"Let's go back to the issue of public opinion and traffic. You clearly haven't made good use of your traffic."

"You had a viral moment yesterday."

Jiang Feng immediately covered his face, looking helpless: "I know."

He still gets a headache just thinking about that mess; it was practically a major social disaster.

"You don't need to be like this, just be open and honest." Fang Ningxue was indeed open and honest. "I also looked into that Peach Cat. Although it's a collection of talismans, the content isn't too explicit. At most, it's just skirting the edge of the law."

"Your control over traffic is clearly not as good as theirs." She changed the subject and dropped a bombshell that shocked Jiang Feng: "Did you know that this Peach Cat has already started a new account by taking advantage of yesterday's traffic? Her Douyin ID is Peach Cat, and her bio says directly—Jiang Feng's Choice."

"My hair?" Jiang Feng was utterly shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief. "You can do that?"

"That's how the internet works; the brave and shameless reap the benefits first."

Fang Ningxue, on the other hand, took it all in stride.

"This will be your first real breakthrough." Fang Ningxue calmly took a sip of coffee and offered her advice, "My suggestion is that you don't need to do anything. Just let the other side do what they want, and you will naturally reap the benefits of this traffic."

Jiang Feng nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly realized:

"Been taught a lesson!"

Fang Ningxue smiled, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Jiang Feng with clear eyes:

"So, does my plan appeal to you?"
