Chapter 151 The Rise of Chinese Games

"Wow! Is the opening scene going to be a battle against 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals?"

"StarCard is really going all out! Even though the game hasn't been released yet, just watching the game trailer is already making me excited!"

"I can't take it anymore! The programmers at StarCard have a full 24 hours a day. Can't they finish making 'Black Myth: Wukong' before the Chinese New Year?"

"I'll give you a number: deliver 'Black Myth: Wukong' within a month!"

"I'm speechless. Chinese New Year is just two months away, and Starcard has already released the game's PV. Are they deliberately trying to ruin my New Year?"

"I feel the same way as you upstairs. I'll be wondering when 'Black Myth: Wukong' will be released while I'm visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year."

The game's promotional video had only been played for less than a third of its length when the number of comments in Su Tao's live stream exploded, with praise and complaints evenly split in half.

Fans are praising Starcard's game PV for being well-made, which shows that Starcard is truly sincere in its desire to create the first AAA masterpiece in China.

The complaints stemmed from the fact that Starcard released the game's PV too early, leaving players like them only able to watch and unable to actually play the game, which made them incredibly eager to try it out.

Seeing the dense barrage of comments displayed on the secondary screen, Su Tao couldn't help but smile silently.

The reactions from the viewers in the live stream were somewhat within her expectations.

After watching the game PV of "Black Myth: Wukong", she was not only shocked, but also felt a sense of loneliness because she had to wait a long time. She was like a primary school student who knew that she would be going on a field trip the next day, and her heart was full of anticipation.

"Sigh, these next few days are probably going to be tough."

Su Tao sighed silently. For two days in a row, yesterday and today, she couldn't eat or sleep well.

After snapping out of her reverie, Su Tao refocused her attention on the game's promotional video on the screen.

She hadn't forgotten that the official StarCard team had instructed her to say a few words of praise while watching the game's promotional video to engage the viewers in the live stream.

Even now, it seems that even without her acting as a shill, the viewers in the live stream were already completely blown away by the game's promotional video.

Besides Su Tao, whether it's Yin Fu, Man Jiao, Bilibili, or traditional live streaming platforms, there are a large number of streamers who immediately show viewers the game's PV.

Furthermore, they spontaneously praised the game's promotional video from various angles.

After all, Starcard's game PV this time was so well made that they simply couldn't find any angle to criticize it in a short period of time.

Besides, there are so many people who support Star Card right now, they won't risk being exposed just for a little bit of negative publicity.

Besides these streamers, even peers in the gaming industry have been generously praising the game PV released by Xingka on their official accounts. As for how many of them are genuine and how many are just trying to ride the wave, it's hard to say.

On the trending search list, the top-ranked comment section for the game PV of "Black Myth: Wukong" overwhelmingly praises Xingka and "Black Myth: Wukong." Even without seeing the test version of the game, based solely on the game PV released by Xingka, many players believe that the emergence of "Black Myth: Wukong" will propel the Chinese game industry to a new peak.

And once China's first AAA game is produced, it can also shatter the prejudice of foreigners that Chinese people don't know how to make games.

Therefore, in the comments section of the trending topic, in addition to praise for the game's PV and comments expressing frustration at having to wait anxiously for the Star Card game to be made, there was also a comment post that topped the list of most popular comments.

"Chinese games should flourish!"

Thousands of people have already posted the same comments under this post, which is enough to show the high expectations of the Chinese player community for "Black Myth: Wukong".

Even official mainstream media actively reposted this trending topic, marking the emergence of "Black Myth: Wukong".

It has also officially come into the official purview.

Under the official account's repost, a series of netizens, not wanting to miss out on the fun, tagged Xingka in the comments section, reminding Xingka that the official team had taken notice of "Black Myth: Wukong" and that they should hurry up and shorten the development period to make it as soon as possible so that players wouldn't have to wait too long.

Only the last part of the sentence truly reflects the inner thoughts of these netizens.

Inside the Qiantang Mountain and Water Villa District, Chen Dong had no idea that Xingka's release of a game PV would not only send Chinese players into a frenzy but also attract the attention of the official team.

At this moment, Chen Dong felt the pressure on his shoulders increase even more.

Before Chen Dong could continue browsing the trending topics online, a phone call came in.

After pressing the answer button, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Congratulations, Mr. Chen. Just one game PV has caused a huge stir in the gaming industry."

The caller was none other than Ren Kang, the CEO of the Steam platform.

When Ren Kang congratulated him, Chen Dong simply gave a few perfunctory replies. He knew that Ren Kang wouldn't call just to say congratulations.

As Chen Dong had expected, after a few simple pleasantries, Ren Kang slowly got to the point and revealed the real purpose of his call.

"Mr. Chen, besides congratulating you, I'm also here to pass on a message from someone above."

To pass on a message?

Although he knew Ren Kang had ulterior motives, Chen Dong did not expect that the other party was just there to deliver a message, and on behalf of someone above him. He was momentarily stunned.

Over the phone, Ren Kang was unaware of the intense internal struggle Chen Dong was going through, and continued speaking.

"Mr. Chen, Xingka's 'Black Myth: Wukong' is being developed and has been seen by higher-ups as a good opportunity to promote traditional culture both domestically and internationally. Therefore, we hope you can do your best to ensure the quality of the game."

If you encounter any problems during the research and development process, feel free to contact me. Even if I can't solve it, someone else will.

When he got to the second half of the sentence, Ren Kang's tone suddenly became mysterious.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Dong quickly realized what was happening, composed himself, and replied in a deep voice, "O".

"Understood, thank you very much, Mr. Ren."

"Haha, you're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong checked the post on the official account that had been forwarded regarding "Black Myth: Wukong".

He smiled incredulously as the game's promotional video went viral.

"I never thought that someone as insignificant as me could catch the eye of the authorities through the game."

With official backing, Chen Dong knew his path was becoming increasingly wider.
