Chapter 157 No New Year's Eve, I'm going to play *Black Myth: Wukong*!

When Starcard released the test version of "Black Myth: Wukong", it was less than half a month before the New Year.

Logically speaking, at this time, most people have already started preparing for the Chinese New Year, and many popular streamers are also broadcasting less and less frequently.

However, anchor Su Tao is an exception.

On the first day of the release of "Black Myth: Wukong", Su Tao started the broadcast early at 6 pm.

As an officially contracted streamer of StarCard, Su Tao doesn't have to wait in the quota distribution interface like ordinary players, competing for the pitifully few beta test slots.

Without her even having to ask, StarCard directly offered her a spot in the closed beta test.

Su Tao's live stream had just started when, within the time it took to type out the title, a large number of players who had failed to secure a spot in the game's beta test flooded into the room.

"Waaaaah, Sister Su, I couldn't get a spot, and I don't have the money to buy one from a scalper. I'm just a student, and over a thousand yuan is too expensive."

"Yes, those scalpers who snatch up the spots don't actually use them; instead, they resell them to others at inflated prices. It's absolutely despicable."

"If you ask me, we should all work together to make this issue of scalpers reselling beta test slots a trending topic, and let StarCard crack down on these middlemen."

After Su Tao typed in the title of her live stream, she glanced at the chat and saw that many viewers were complaining about scalpers reselling game beta test slots.

Su Tao knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it could very likely cause dissatisfaction among the players, so she quickly offered words of comfort.

"Don't worry, everyone. Starcard is one of the most player-centric game developers in China. We certainly won't stand idly by while scalpers resell game beta test qualifications. They just need to patiently wait for Starcard's official announcement."

Of course, I can also help everyone report the issue to the official staff of StarCard.

As she spoke, Su Tao picked up her phone, opened the chat window of the StarCard official staff member who was in charge of communicating with her, and sent the message about the scalpers.

Although it was already 6 p.m., the staff member she was in contact with quickly sent a response message.

"Received. I will report the matter to the higher-ups. Please wait a moment, Sister Su."

Su Tao flipped her phone over and showed the message sent by the other party to the viewers in the live stream.

Upon seeing this, the number of comments condemning the scalper incident on the live stream immediately decreased, and in their place, a series of comments praising Su Tao appeared.

"Sister Su is awesome! Xingka should really teach these scalpers a lesson!"

"Sister Su Su truly deserves to be the people's anchor. I'd be willing to tip her a sports car, though it's not much, but it's not really real either."

After glancing at the barrage of quirky and flattering comments, Su Tao chuckled and then turned her attention to the computer screen that was loading the game interface.

Then, Su Tao raised her hand and pointed upwards, indicating to the viewers in the live stream to take a look at the title of the live stream.

"For those of you who didn't manage to snag a spot in the closed beta of 'Black Myth: Wukong,' you can join TaoSu's livestream today to experience this first domestic AAA title together!"

As soon as Su Tao finished speaking, the game interface on the computer screen finished loading and gradually went dark.

As a piece of music familiar to almost all Chinese people began to play, the game entered the settings selection interface.

"I won! As soon as this music started playing, I was reminded of the summer ten years ago when I watched Journey to the West being rebroadcast."

"Yes, back then I was just a clueless little boy, but now I'm a mother."

.

"??? Does the person upstairs dare to look at what they typed themselves?"

"I've heard from some data miners that the plot of Black Myth seems to start after the Great Sage's death, but it seems that the Great Sage can be resurrected later on."

"Really? If we can really revive the Great Sage later in the game, then I can tolerate this downside."

Internationally recognized AAA games, in addition to having superb art style, graphics rendering, and character controls, also need to have a first-class storyline. Only when all requirements are met can a game be called a AAA game.

The plot of "Black Myth: Wukong" is not a simple copy of Journey to the West. Instead, the story begins after the death of the Great Sage. The chosen one's task is to defeat one boss after another, obtain the six spiritual roots that the Great Sage transformed into after his death, and finally revive that towering monkey.

Of course, these are just game plot details revealed by data miners, not official announcements from StarCard, and their authenticity remains to be verified.

Besides story-driven players, a AAA game's audience will definitely include many combat enthusiasts who would rather skip lives just to experience the thrill of battle.

Although they didn't know where they were or what mission they were supposed to perform, they only knew that they were about to go on a killing spree.

The anchor, Su Tao, tends to favor the fighting party.

After completing the tedious settings and adjustments, I finally entered the game's main start screen.

"Is that monkey in the background of the interface the Great Sage or a chosen one?"

Although "Black Myth: Wukong" is only a test version, the main interface is quite well-made. The background is a monkey wearing a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown and a golden chainmail, with its head down and no words. It is hard to tell whether it is the protagonist of the game, Tiancai Ren, or the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong.

"He must be the chosen one. I don't think the Great Sage Equaling Heaven would show such an expression and look confused."

A comment scrolled across the screen and garnered agreement from many viewers.

Seeing this, Su Tao nodded thoughtfully, no longer dwelling on this meaningless question, and instead moved the mouse to the button for the new game.

The game's main interface is very simple, with only three buttons: New Game, Settings, and Exit Game.

pat.

Accompanied by the crisp click of the left mouse button, a slightly ethereal sound of metal clashing rang out.

As Su Tao and her viewers in the live stream had anticipated, the computer screen didn't redirect to a loading page like other games after clicking on a new game. Instead, the monkey that served as the background of the main page slowly started moving.

As the camera gradually shifts, it moves to directly behind the monkey.

Five enormous figures silently appeared in front of the monkey.

Giant Spirit God and the Four Heavenly Kings!

"What the hell? Are we going to start with a rampage in heaven, fighting against 100,000 celestial soldiers and generals?!"

On the live stream, after seeing the game's visuals, many viewers expressed their disbelief and amazement.

Even the anchor Su Tao opened her rosy lips slightly, her pupils widened, revealing a shocked expression.

In the game scene, the monkey had somehow produced a familiar Ruyi Jingu Bang (a magical staff), and, wearing lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, it rushed towards the several huge figures.

The sounds of footsteps and stomping on grass are incredibly clear and realistic, giving the listener a sense of being there.

As the monkey flipped and leaped off the cliff, its figure vanished for a moment.

When they reappeared, they were already standing on the somersault cloud.

"Wow! As expected of a Star Card, the level of detail in the graphics is incredible; they must have gone to great lengths to create this!"

Su Tao looked up at the computer's webcam and said in a serious tone.

"Brothers, I don't want to celebrate the New Year anymore, I just want to play Black Myth: Wukong!"
