Chapter 159: This camera work is unbeatable!

When the battle scene first appeared, Su Tao was very nervous, afraid that she would be killed by Erlang Shen if she was not careful.

However, the reality was somewhat different from what she had expected.

Clang!

As Su Tao controlled Sun Wukong, he was unable to dodge in time and was struck solidly by Erlang Shen's three-pointed double-edged sword, producing a crisp sound of metal clashing against metal.

However, despite taking a solid hit, Su Tao was surprised to find that Sun Wukong, whom she was controlling, did not lose any health, and she couldn't even find her own health bar.

"What? So this part was just to let players get used to the combat controls? That scared me to death."

Su Tao patted her chest, and after realizing that the Sun Wukong she controlled was invincible, her expression immediately relaxed.

Meanwhile, in the live stream chat, many viewers were praising Star Card for being so thoughtful.

It's worth noting that setting up a combat segment before the game starts to allow players to familiarize themselves with the combat controls is extremely rare among AAA titles on Earth.

After all, the production cost of a AAA game is extremely high, even for every second or every frame. Game developers are simply unwilling to waste such enormous costs to improve the player's gaming experience.

What if the player is not familiar with the control buttons?

Their answer was that dying a few times in the game would familiarize them with it, which would also stimulate the player's competitive spirit.

What if some players lose their enthusiasm for the game because they die too many times?

If your visit lasts longer than two hours, you can't expect a refund!

Therefore, when viewers in the live stream saw that Starcard had specially inserted a battle scene that fit the storyline after the opening animation of "Black Myth: Wukong" to help players familiarize themselves with the game's operation system, they felt the care from the game developer.

The live stream chat was filled with comments saying "Star Card Loyalty".

Su Tao became more and more skilled as she familiarized herself with the controls.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, she used all three spells that Sun Wukong had mastered at the beginning of the game: the movement technique, the movement technique outside the body, and the copper head and iron arm.

"Holy crap, the animation for this immobilization spell is really good. It really feels like magic."

"I think the 'body-out-of-body technique' is really amazing. It's exactly the same as the TV series I watched when I was a kid. They would pluck a few hairs from their bodies and blow them out, and they would turn into countless clones. When I was a kid, I thought it would be great if I could use this technique to do my homework."

"The person upstairs was really naive as a child, only thinking about using the clone technique to do their homework, haha."

"I feel like the Copper Head Iron Arm skill is weird. It requires timing the opponent's attack to achieve the effect of parrying damage."

While the viewers in the live stream were still passionately discussing which of the three spells was more accurate and which was more useful, the streamer Su Tao had already reduced Erlang Shen's health bar by one-third.

Immediately afterward, to Su Tao's astonishment, Erlang Shen leaped into the air and instantly disappeared from the computer screen.

At this moment, Sun Wukong, who was being controlled by Su Tao, also broke free from her control. Not only did his character attribute bar disappear, but even Erlang Shen's health bar was gone.

On the screen, Sun Wukong makes a gesture as if he is looking up and around, searching for Erlang Shen.

Suddenly, with a burst of lightning, Erlang Shen appeared directly behind Sun Wukong and unleashed a powerful strike. Su Tao and the viewers in the live stream held their breath, unsure if Sun Wukong could react in time and catch Erlang Shen's heavy blow.

Sun Wukong did not turn around, but instead lowered his body, raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel), and blocked Erlang Shen's attack.

In an instant, the three-pointed double-edged sword and the Ruyi Jingu Bang collided, bursting forth with countless flashes of lightning.

StarCard seems to have known that players would be shocked by Sun Wukong's defense and the special effects that erupted when the weapons collided at this moment, so they specially processed the scene in slow motion.

The camera slowly moved from Sun Wukong's front to his side and rear.

Seeing that his attack had missed, Erlang Shen leaped up, turned around, and swung his three-pointed double-edged sword upwards, using his waist and hips to drive the movement.

This time, however, Sun Wukong did not use his weapon to block, but instead stepped directly on the tip of Erlang Shen's sword.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them entered into a dialogue in this posture.

It was only after this spectacular fight ended that the viewers in the live stream seemed to realize what had happened and began to exclaim in amazement in the chat.

"I'm convinced, I'm truly convinced, Star Card, please accept my utmost respect!"

"Did anyone take a screenshot of that close-up shot? It was so cool, I'm going to use it as my computer's screensaver."

"I have to say, the official StarCard team's combat design is absolutely top-notch, absolutely amazing!"

"That's right, that's right! It perfectly captures the free-spirited and unrestrained spirit of the Monkey King. So cool!"

"From this perspective, Erlang Shen seems to have become the villain in the game! No way! My favorite Erlang Shen!!!"

The streamer, Su Tao, only glanced at the comments in the live stream room before turning her attention away and focusing entirely on the game screen.

After this dialogue segment ends, the character status bar and Erlang Shen's health bar reappear on the computer screen, meaning it's Su Tao's turn to control Sun Wukong in battle.

With the invincible Sun Wukong under her control, Su Tao had no chance of defeat and quickly took down another third of Erlang Shen's health bar.

Just as Erlang Shen's health bar was down to one-third, he leaped high into the air, and the third eye on his head burst forth with golden light, driving the long swords surrounding him to shoot towards Sun Wukong.

This seemed to be Erlang Shen's ultimate move, but it was completely useless.

"It feels like Starcard specifically set up this segment not only to familiarize players with the game's operation system, but also to showcase the skill effects and combat feel they developed."

Seeing that Erlang Shen's powerful move had not caused her any harm, Su Tao couldn't help but have this thought pop into her head.

After Su Tao pointed this out, viewers in the live stream also expressed the same opinion.

The game continued, and Su Tao, controlling Sun Wukong, attacked Erlang Shen while immediately releasing skills as soon as their cooldowns ended to accelerate the rate at which Erlang Shen's health bar decreased.

Before long, Erlang Shen's health bar was reduced to a mere sliver.

However, at this moment, the game entered the story phase again.

Sun Wukong broke free from Su Tao's control and began fighting Erlang Shen in mid-air.

The aftershocks from their battle alone sent all 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals who were flanking them flying.

Even the colossal spirits, whose bodies towered like mountains, were directly knocked to the ground by the aftershocks of the battle.

Starcard also did a great job in designing the awe-inspiring effect of the giant object falling.

The perspective was right behind the Giant Spirit God, even triggering the megalophobia of many viewers in the live stream.
