Chapter 1650

~6 min read 1,199 words

It was necessary to make some slight adjustments to the promotional video as well.

The flow of the video remained the same.

First, fight Guangzhi, then fight Lingxuzi, and finally showcase the bosses that would appear later, along with some spectacular grand scenes to build up player anticipation.

The pacing was excellent, so Mo Li only modified the game UI and combat scenes within the promotional video.

Now, what the players saw was combat indistinguishable from the finished game.

Immobilization Spell, Rock Solid, Perfect Dodge...

Pillar Stance attacks, switching to Thrust Stance attacks, plus Smash Stance charge-ups, and Resolute Counterstrikes...

Even though it was just fighting a minor Guangzhi, under the performance of those various flashy maneuvers, it was truly a show that made people's blood boil.

Countless players wished the game would be released immediately; it was truly mouth-watering and made their hands itch.

In the live streams of those streamers, all sorts of comments flew by, filled with praise, skepticism, and anticipation.

As for why there was skepticism...

It was still because they couldn't believe it.

How could a game... be made so exquisitely?

You have to know, before Damn Mihuyou appeared, the best things players had were the pixelated-quality online games from the two giants, Pig and Goose.

It wasn't until Damn Mihuyou appeared, with Honkai Impact 3rd, that the world's game visuals entered a brand-new era.

That would have been enough.

Later, whether it was *Genshin Impact* or *Honkai: Star Rail*, the games from the Pig and Goose factories and other manufacturers were basically of that same quality.

This exquisite cel-shaded art style was also the mainstream style in the current gaming circle.

But...

How long has it been? You, Damn Mihuyou, have once again pushed game visual quality to a height that others cannot reach.

There are still many games that can't even achieve the visuals of *Honkai Impact 3rd*.

How is this supposed to be played?

Pig Factory: You keep telling me to learn from Damn Mihuyou, what the hell am I supposed to learn?

Two years ago, they were still playing pixelated-quality online games.

Suddenly, turning around...

Out pops *Black Myth: Wukong*.

How could this not make people skeptical?

"Is this still Blue Star? Did I suddenly transmigrate to some alien planet?"

However, although many people felt incredulous and couldn't believe it.

Their inner anticipation for this game did not diminish in the slightest.

At this moment, the monkey in the promotional video had already reached Lingxuzi.

Blowing hair to create soldiers, the art of transformation, all were displayed before the eyes of every player.

The detail of Lingxuzi frantically shaking its head to extinguish the flames after Guangzhi's fire blade ignited its fur made countless people exclaim in wonder.

Finally, the boss's health bar was depleted, the Destined One returned to his true form, pulled a staff from his ear, and slowly walked toward the exhausted Demon King—Lingxuzi.

Accompanied by the music, at this moment, the Destined One was no longer just a monkey; he was incredibly cool.

And just as he swung his staff, intending to finish off Lingxuzi.

*Clang! * With a sound, someone appeared out of thin air and blocked the Destined One's fatal blow.

The camera slowly panned up, and on the staff that blocked the Destined One's attack, five golden ancient characters were carved—*Ruyi Jingu Bang*!

Countless players in the Dragon Kingdom instantly realized.

This person who suddenly appeared must be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Sure enough, as the camera moved up.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven, wearing golden chainmail, a phoenix-feather purple-gold crown, and holding the Ruyi Jingu Bang, came into view.

Oh... so the character the player plays is not Sun Wukong, but a monkey...

【Oh oh oh! The Great Sage!】

【Is this the protagonist of that *Journey to the West* that's been very popular on the internet these past few days?】

【Yes, it's that Great Sage who possesses rock-solid arms, 72 transformations, but can only raise horses in the Heavenly Court (funny)】

【Yes, it's that Great Sage who rebelled against the capitalists and ended up failing and being suppressed (crying)】

【This Great Sage is kind of cool!!】

The comments were incredibly lively at this moment.

But the video wasn't over yet.

The next moment, accompanied by grand music, the promotional video began to showcase many grand scenes that would follow.

Yellow Wind Ridge, Lesser Western Heaven, Spider Cave, Women's Kingdom, Golden Helmet Mountain, Treasure Elephant Kingdom, Flaming Mountain, Lion Camel Ridge, Dragon Palace, Heavenly Court, Spirit Mountain...

And various bosses full of oppressive power...

Kang-Jin Dragon, Roc Bird, the Four Heavenly Kings...

And the breathtaking scene of the protagonist riding the clouds and flying over the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The shocking scene of returning to the Heavenly Palace and wreaking havoc once again.

These scenes switched very quickly.

Countless viewers were dazzled, and the excitement in their chests could not be suppressed at all.

After actively or passively receiving news about *Journey to the West* on the internet these past few days, who in the Dragon Kingdom wouldn't want to be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven for once, learn the 72 transformations, and go up to heaven to beat up the capitalists (Heavenly Court)?

Plus, the game's exquisite art style and the dazzling combat performances.

Various supernatural transformation arts, demons, ghosts, monsters, immortals, gods, and Buddhas...

Is this even a game? This is simply an Eastern mythological world brought into reality, right?

Finally, the video froze on the game logo.

【Black Myth: Wukong】

【The world's first 3A game masterpiece is about to launch】

And the background music of the video was an adapted version of "Yun Gong Xun Yin".

The video ended.

But the excitement in countless people's hearts could not dissipate for a long time.

The screens of major live streaming rooms at home and abroad almost all displayed the large characters 【Black Myth: Wukong】.

With the adapted version of "Yun Gong Xun Yin" playing in their headphones, they simultaneously freed up their hands to send comments, discussing this cross-era game masterpiece enthusiastically with the streamers and netizens.

They didn't know what 【3A game】 meant; they could only wait for Damn Mihuyou to explain it themselves.

But they did know that this was a game adapted from a mythological novel of the Dragon Kingdom.

Now that it was unclear when this game would launch, they couldn't play it either.

With their hands itching, they developed a great interest in that Chinese mythological novel, *Journey to the West*.

Coincidentally, in two days, the *Journey to the West* series filmed by the Dragon Kingdom was about to start airing!!

Good, good, good...

Domestic players who were originally uninterested in the TV series immediately clicked on the link provided in Damn Mihuyou's announcement.

And incidentally subscribed to a broadcast reminder.

And foreign players were the same.

First, understand what story this novel tells.

That way, when *Black Myth: Wukong* launches, wouldn't they be able to experience it without any barriers?!

Mo Li hadn't expected that just a single game promotional video would make countless people at home and abroad develop such a great interest in *Journey to the West*.
