Chapter 164 A Mere Tiger Vanguard

After defeating the Guardian, Su Tao controlled the Chosen One and walked into the courtyard behind the Guardian.

Immediately afterwards, the computer screen switched to a loading screen.

At this moment, Su Tao finally had time to carefully read the comments in the live stream.

"Sister Su, once you pass through this gate, you'll face an even more formidable boss, Tiger Vanguard!"

"Challenging Tiger Vanguard is much more difficult than defeating the Guardian of the Cricket Temple. I've seen many high-level gamers on Bilibili get stuck on Tiger Vanguard, and some have died dozens of times."

"I also checked out the live streams of those pro players. Although Tiger Vanguard was just a minor character in the original Journey to the West, in the game, he became an insurmountable boss. Basically, if you get hit by Tiger Vanguard even once, you'll lose most of your health."

Watching the viewers in the live stream begin to exaggerate the terror of Tiger Vanguard in the chat, Su Tao remained somewhat unconcerned.

After all, she had even defeated the seemingly insurmountable Gu Hu Yuan. The mere Tiger Vanguard was just a small fry in Journey to the West. How difficult could it be?

It seemed that someone noticed the confidence on Su Tao's face. Several comments floated across the live stream chat, reminding Su Tao not to be careless and advising her to prepare herself mentally in advance so that she wouldn't have to end the broadcast in humiliation again tonight.

"Don't worry, guys, last night was just an accident. The streamer's skills are on fire tonight, he might even beat Tiger Vanguard in one go!"

In response to some friendly reminders from viewers in the live stream, Su Tao waved her pink little fist at the camera, her words brimming with confidence.

Outside the live stream, Chen Dong saw that after Su Tao narrowly defeated the Guardian, she began to disregard Tiger Vanguard. He couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, looking forward to Su Tao's expression when Tiger Vanguard beat her up later.

In the official version, Tiger Vanguard should be the fifth boss in the second chapter, while in the test version, after defeating the Guardian, you will be directly teleported to the Blood Pool where Tiger Vanguard is located.

However, in order to meet the propaganda committee's Spring Festival publicity needs, Chen Dong specifically asked the programmers to redesign the scene where Tiger Vanguard was located.

The original blood pool was replaced by firecrackers scattered all over the ground, and many bright red lanterns were hung around the area.

If players look back after entering the map, they can see that the couplets above the entrance are weathered and worn.

In addition, when Tiger Vanguard's health bar is reduced to less than half, the scene will change from day to night, and a dazzling firework will occasionally bloom in the night sky, illuminating the entire area.

Of course, the details of these scene arrangements have already been covered in the video posted by the blogger, a gaming newbie.

Although these were extra tasks added to the Star Card team, the artists and developers did not intend to do them perfunctorily. Instead, they used the little time left before the beta version went live to polish them carefully.

Therefore, in the video's comment section, most viewers, while not praising how well the Starcards were made, could at least see that Starcards weren't just going through the motions.

Su Tao must have watched the blogger's review video, so after the game finished loading and the Chosen One appeared in an open-air yellow sand field, Su Tao immediately controlled the Chosen One to look back.

Sure enough, above the lintel, there was a pair of couplets that looked quite old.

The developers did a great job of depicting the erosion of time on the couplets, allowing players and viewers in Su Tao's live stream to truly feel as if the couplets had been posted for many years in a place filled with sandstorms and had naturally eroded into their current state.

"The way this couplet is presented is enough to show the sincerity of the Star Card official team."

"That's right. Many games like to cut corners on details to fool players, but little do they know that it is precisely these details that make players feel more immersed in the game."

"To be honest, I think once the official version of 'Black Myth: Wukong' is released, wouldn't it be even more fun to play on an ultrawide screen?"

"If you only play casual single-player games, an ultrawide monitor can indeed help you increase immersion, but if you usually play competitive games, then I wouldn't recommend it."

Su Tao was unaware that the viewers in her live stream chat had shifted their focus from the game to her computer peripherals.

After a brief tour of the surrounding scenery, Su Tao controlled the Chosen One to slowly walk into the center of the arena.

The next moment, a large tiger suddenly appeared out of nowhere, carrying a thick, long-handled cleaver, which looked extremely imposing.

The moment Su Tao saw Tiger Vanguard, she knew that the Gu Huyuan she had defeated earlier was nothing.

Although both the Guardian Rhinoceros and the Tiger Vanguard use heavy weapons such as battle axes and machetes, the Tiger Vanguard is significantly larger than the Guardian Rhinoceros. Moreover, one is a herbivorous rhinoceros, while the other is a bloodthirsty tiger, so the pressure they bring to players is naturally worlds apart.

"Nobody told me that Tiger Vanguard was this big."

Su Tao no longer held any contempt for Tiger Vanguard in her eyes. Even the confidence she had gained from defeating the Guardian had vanished without a trace, leaving only a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Haha, Sister Su is scared!"

"Hey, where did that fearless Sister Su go?"

Seeing the contrast in streamer Su Tao's expression before and after meeting Tiger Vanguard, the viewers in the live stream were immediately amused and flooded the chat with teasing comments.

Outside the live stream, Chen Dong couldn't help but smile when he saw Su Tao's surprised expression.

Nowadays, apart from that blogger known as "Game Newbie," it seems that no one else on the entire internet has defeated Tiger Vanguard.

Firstly, because the gap between the Guardian of the Cricket and the Tiger Vanguard is too large, players will directly gain several extra skills and a lot of skill points when challenging the Tiger Vanguard. Some players may quickly discover the extra skills, but fail to notice the increased skill points.

Therefore, using the skill level from Chapter 1 to challenge the boss in Chapter 2 only increased the difficulty of the challenge for myself.

Secondly, mastering and accurately using different skills during combat is a significant challenge for players.

Many players may have to die dozens of times before they can master the timing of using skills.

Therefore, under the influence of various factors, Tiger Vanguard has become a nightmare for many beta testers.

Fortunately, thanks to the reminders from viewers in the live stream, Su Tao noticed the extra skills and the extra skill points in the skill panel.

After being killed by Tiger Vanguard like a fly the first time, Su Tao quickly used up all her skill points before continuing the challenge.
