Chapter 52: Advertising

Name:Bloodlines Online Author:


After getting approved as a streamer for the restaurant Ezekiel was given a choice like every other worker for that day.

He could take the day off since the workers needed to complete the new installations.

The alternative was to spend his shift advertising the new details of the restaurant.

Ezekiel chose to spend his day wandering through town with the flyers to hand out as he spent the day having fun.

It's incredibly rare to be paid to just walk around all day and give out pieces of paper, all he had to do was return at the end of his shift to clock out.

While walking through the town he saw many people on the phone or talking through wireless headphones, all of them discussing the game as the various clips of streams were broadcast everywhere as advertisements.

Before each clip a disclaimer was shown that the clip came from a player who had streamed it and the developers had paid for the use of each clip.

Every single clip showed the beauty and realism of the game, from the life of the territories to the battles for experience.

At the end of one advertisement he even saw a video of a crazy devil running from a giant slime.

He remembered how he had tried to fight that thing so early on and it made him laugh.

At the end of the advertisement it showed a number of streamer IDs that could be viewed after the servers came back online.

Ezekiel saw a great chance to approach the people who had been watching and gave out the flyers.

"The Chateau will be updating to a more modern theme for the enjoyment of it's patrons, employees who play the game will be streaming to the tables while customers eat."

He then gave an exaggerated bow.

"Including yours truly."

"Some of the employees will be gaming the whole shift right? Does that mean new positions will open up?"

"If it meant i could get and easy job I'd apply just to play the game."

While they were discussing it Ezekiel excused himself and made his way to the soccer field to hand out more flyers.

On the field the team was just finishing practice as Ezekiel approached and one of the players reacted a bit negatively when he saw the black haired young man.

'Shit shit shit shit, it's him. He'll think im gross and smelly if he gets to close, dammit why is he here!'

He was a very skinny but well exercised young man that kept his brown hair long, he wanted to run to the shower to clean up before meeting his friend but he didn't get the chance.

"Hey Jay, show the team who's the king?"

Ezekiel clapped James on the back with a laugh while handing out flyers to the team.

"Uh yeah man, I scored six goals."

'Stop touching me oh god i stink, please go away Zeke.'

While he was trying to get away he heard his friend talking about the flyers, specifically he heard that the local restaurant Ezekiel worked at would be streaming their employees who played BLO.

Then he heard Ezekiel say that he plays as well.

'He plays too? Oh god should I try to add him? But he'll see my character isn't normal...'

While thinking about what he should do James came to a decision.

'I'll watch one of his streams tomorrow.'
