Most game streamers will check out game guides in advance.
But the streamer Unfilial Son triggers the opposite streamer mode: the [First-Time Playthrough] livestream.
This means the streamer has no prior knowledge of the game, and all in-game information is unknown to them, focusing on that sense of novelty.
A first-time playthrough livestream increases the fun, but not everyone can handle that kind of excitement.
Because a first-time playthrough exposes the streamer’s true skill level with nowhere to hide.
The streamer might die suddenly and frequently; without doing their homework to avoid pitfalls, the stream could become long and boring, eventually driving all the viewers away.
That’s why most game streamers get to know the game first, then stream, to avoid being seen as a newbie and endlessly mocked by the audience.
Even with real-name registration online, viewers’ mouths are as foul as ever. That never changes.
But the design of these “suffering games” is, at its core, to encourage first-time players to experience the pain in its purest form.
Still, streamers have to make a living, and knowing the BOSS’s location and moves in advance is a huge help in clearing the game.
Plus, the Barrage is basically guaranteed to spoil everything.
When you reach the BOSS, the Barrage will start screaming and giving commands, all to show off their own cleverness.
So it’s nearly impossible for a game streamer to have a truly blind first-time playthrough—unless they don’t interact with the Barrage at all.
Of course, there are those shameless streamers who clearly know the game inside out but insist they’re playing blind, pretending they don’t know anything, and fooling the viewers with their acting skills.
After all that, this is actually one of the reasons viewers like to watch the Unfilial Son streamer.
Because Unfilial Son really seems like a true first-timer, a pure gaming newbie, everyone’s digital pet.
And if that purity is all an act?
Then we can only say the streamer’s acting is incredible.
We’re convinced. Willingly fooled.
And now comes the moment everyone has been waiting for!
The streamer is about to face the first BOSS of this game.
The BOSS’s strength is on a whole different level from the usual small fry.
The Female Factory Worker who acted as the newbie killer earlier was just an elite monster to give players a tough start, not a real BOSS.
“Zzzzt! Zzzzt! Zzzzt!”
A powerful crackling of electricity suddenly echoed from the top of the stairs.
The Barrage in the Unfilial Son Livestream Room hit an all-time high!
Countless Barrages flashed across the screen, moving so fast you couldn’t even tell what anyone was saying.
On screen, the streamer was still cluelessly walking up the stairs. By the time he realized the danger, it was already too late.
“Clang!”
A bolt of electricity shot down from above!
But just as Xu Bei’s head was about to be blasted open, his neck suddenly twisted to the side, dodging the lethal blow at the last possible instant.
(Dodged it?)
(That was some fast neck movement.)
(How is that possible?)
(He slipped up! I told you, could a newbie streamer really pull that off?)
(He must know where the BOSS is.)
(The streamer never said it was a first-time playthrough, right?)
(Just keep acting!)
(The streamer’s filial act is back.)
(Drama king.)
(He’s addicted to acting.)
(Where’s Johnny Ma now?)
(The Barrage is going wild.)
(It’s so dark—how did he dodge that?)
(The Barrage is getting anxious.)
(If you say the streamer didn’t know in advance, then she must be using wallhacks.)
(Do you have to be so serious?)
(The Barrage must be having a rough life, huh?)
(Is it really so hard to admit someone else has skill?)
Xu Bei’s head dodge left everyone stunned, sparking another round of debate and infighting in the Barrage.
But he couldn’t care less about the outside noise. After twisting his head, he quickly retreated, forced to slide back down to the first floor from the stairs.
He looked up sharply, glaring at his enemy.
A slim figure slowly descended the stairs, no longer as swift and fierce as before, but radiating a calm, deadly aura.
But as Xu Bei got a good look at her, all that expert presence instantly vanished.
Because in front of him was a bikini-clad Female Jumping Corpse.
Her figure was just as curvy and model-like as the Jumping Corpse Female Factory Worker he’d encountered at the start—the only difference was she was wearing even less.
Although these female monsters in the abandoned factory are called Jumping Corpses, aside from their skin being a deeper blue-violet, bulging veins, and fiercer faces, they really aren’t much different from regular girls.
For the vast majority of guys, this is absolutely worth drooling over—no problem at all, in fact, it’s even a little enticing.
Take a look at this new Female Jumping Corpse: she’s clearly wearing a bikini underneath, with a tattered cropped jacket draped on top.
She even has a pair of perfectly intact knee-high stockings and black high heels with red soles—a deliberately seductive outfit.
Why emphasize “intact”? Because this is the first time Xu Bei has seen a Female Jumping Corpse here with stockings that aren’t torn.
Suddenly, a switch to a pure and innocent style—that’s an even bigger impact for the guys watching.
“Is this an outfit any normal woman would wear in her daily life?”
Alright, enough about her appearance and clothes. Time to focus on the important part.
The weapon in the Female Supervisor’s hand.
It’s a one-meter-long Electric Baton, crackling with electricity, looking just like a lightsaber.
“How does an Electric Baton this long not have a charging cable? Is it really possible to power something this strong with batteries? Does this game even care about science? Does it even care about physics?” Xu Bei started ranting about how unscientific the BOSS’s weapon was.
Even though searching for realism in a game is pretty dumb.
But there was one benefit—the long Electric Baton illuminated the dark corridor.
Nice. Xu Bei had never fought such a well-lit battle before.
He quickly took up a boxing stance and began to move, testing his opponent.
The first BOSS’s name gradually appeared: [Supervisor Arvida]
Then came a thick, nearly screen-length health bar, hanging steadily above the Jumping Corpse Female Supervisor’s head.
(Let’s see you fight a Supervisor barehanded!)
(The streamer’s done for!)
(The Supervisor is the player’s parry coach. Without a weapon, the streamer is dead for sure!)
(Block with your hands, haha.)
(Just a clown.)
(If anyone could clear this barehanded, the other big streamers would have done it already. No way it’s your turn!)
With the BOSS’s arrival, the Barrage filled up with self-proclaimed experts.
They started mocking the streamer with sarcasm, trying to show off their own knowledge.
Even a total newbie could tell this named Jumping Corpse Female Supervisor was no ordinary small fry.
In the next instant, the Female Supervisor swung her Electric Baton lightsaber at Xu Bei, the flashing lightning tracing one Z after another through the air!
Xu Bei’s expression was serious as he swayed left and right.
Bolts of lightning slashed through his afterimages but failed to touch him.
Three swings per second, thirty in ten seconds, but Xu Bei dodged them all with perfectly timed sidesteps.
“Where can you buy an Electric Baton with this much power?”
Xu Bei was sweating a little, but just a little.
And this performance was a slap in the face to all those so-called experts in the Barrage!
