Chapter 167 Games Made Me Fall in Love with Classics

"Hey bro, the combat in this game is so satisfying! It doesn't feel like the quality of a new company at all. It feels more like a AAA title from a veteran game developer."

In the bottom right corner of the live stream screen, streamer Lud is holding a black and white striped controller, controlling the Chosen One to defeat one small monster after another encountered along the way.

The smooth combat system made him absolutely love it.

In addition, many viewers in the live stream were amazed by the character and background modeling of "Black Myth: Wukong".

"My God, the rendering of the mountain forest background in this game is absolutely amazing. I can't believe that this is a game made in China, and the game company that made this game has only been established for a little over a year."

"As expected of a mysterious Eastern power, just the fact that they were able to develop their economy to become one of the top two in the world in just over thirty years is enough to show that there is nothing they cannot accomplish if they set their minds to it."

"It is well known that Asians are good at math, and to design an excellent program, one naturally needs meticulous mathematical logic. So I am not at all surprised that Chinese game developers can produce such exquisite games."

"Many people on the internet have prejudices against China, but in reality, once you spend some time in China, you will naturally know who is telling the truth and who is lying on the internet."

"What game is the streamer playing? Can anyone tell me the name?"

While controlling the Chosen One to continue along the mountain path, streamer Lud glanced at the chat messages in the live stream.

Seeing that many viewers in the live chat shared his opinion that "Black Myth: Wukong" would be an excellent game, streamer Lud couldn't help but smile, enjoying the pleasure of being recognized.

He was one of the first streamers on YouTube to stream the game "Black Myth: Wukong". He not only used his influence to let more people on YouTube see the game, but also the viewers brought by the game gradually stabilized his stream's audience at 150,000.

Seeing that many people in the live stream chat were asking why they couldn't find the game, streamer Lud took a moment to explain.

"Bro, this game hasn't been officially released yet. I'm playing the closed beta version right now. There were only 10,000 slots available, and they've all been distributed already. If you want to play, you'll probably have to wait until around May."

As soon as the streamer Lud finished speaking, he saw many viewers uttering profanities in the live stream chat.

"Fuck, why didn't I know about this game sooner? And why didn't I wait until it was officially released to see streamers playing it? Now I'm stuck waiting in vain."

"Why can't Starcard release more beta test slots? Is it possible that a company capable of producing such a high-quality game can't even afford to rent more servers?"

"Is there anyone in the livestream who can sell me a beta test slot for this game? I really can't wait any longer; I just can't stand watching the streamer play!"

Seeing that someone in the live stream was already asking scalpers about buying second-hand spots, streamer Lud chuckled twice, dismissing his unrealistic idea.

"Bro, to prevent the resale of game beta test slots, StarCard has banned many scalper accounts, so no one dares to openly sell beta test slots anymore. If someone messages you privately, please be careful to avoid being scammed."

After giving this reminder, streamer Lud continued to immerse himself in the game.

The closed beta version of the international version of "Black Myth: Wukong" has actually been open for several days, but the streamer Lud could never beat the Guardian of the Cricket Temple, so he decided to level up first and improve his attributes before continuing to challenge the Guardian of the Cricket Temple.

While he was leveling up by defeating monsters, viewers in the live stream chat started sharing their readings of "Journey to the West".

Speculations about the future plot of this game.

"Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, is the protagonist of the original novel, Journey to the West, and the monkey who dies at the beginning of the game."

""

A basic biographical comment scrolled through the live stream's chat.

Immediately afterwards, a group of viewers who watched "Journey to the West" because of the game started discussing it in the live stream's chat.

"I think this game will eventually revive Monkeyking, after all, it is an immortal being in the hearts of Chinese people."

"No, you're wrong to say that. The Chinese people value inheritance very much. Perhaps the Star Card will allow the chosen one to inherit Sun Wukong's identity and status and become the next Sun Wukong."

"No, no, no, you've only read 'Journey to the West,' but you haven't read that great man's Little Red Book. Sun Wukong won't be resurrected, and the chosen one won't become the next Sun Wukong, but rather a completely new Monkey King!"

In his apartment in Huadu, the man watching the live stream of foreigners discussing Chinese classics and culture felt a strange sense of absurdity.

However, he also knew that if he edited the discussion among the foreigners into a video and released it in China, it would definitely attract a lot of attention and traffic.

After all, topics involving foreigners naturally attract the attention of passersby.

So, when SliceJun posted a video titled "Games Made Me Fall in Love with Classic Literature" on various online video platforms, it unsurprisingly garnered a lot of attention.

Whether it's Bilibili, where the "Slice Monarch" account is located, or short video platforms like Yin Fu and Man Jiao, or even Weibo, it has attracted a lot of attention.

So much so that shortly after the video was released, even marketing accounts emerged trying to ride the wave of traffic, using the clips posted by "Slice King" to exaggerate the high quality of foreign games and even to the point that they could attract players to study classic literature.

However, the comment sections of the videos posted by these marketing accounts that published this false content were completely flooded by Star Card fans.

It's as if these marketing accounts have returned to the era when they were universally condemned.

As the popularity of the video clips produced by SliceJun gradually increased, they not only topped the trending search list but also attracted the attention of official authorities.

Several official news media outlets have published numerous articles on their official accounts regarding whether games should also possess deeper meaning.

The fact that games, once considered the ninth art, have now become an addictive electronic poison is indeed thought-provoking.

In the comment sections of several official media articles, many people believe that there should be more games like "Black Myth: Wukong" on the market that are high-quality, well-rendered, have a rigorous plot, and also offer fun gameplay.

This also brought the term "AAA game" and related concepts into the view of many people.

Of course, the biggest beneficiaries of this public opinion storm are undoubtedly "Black Myth: Wukong" and Star Card Games.
