“No way, how come this big-headed doll is so hard to beat?”
Lu Xuan stared at the gray death screen on his computer, so angry he was about to throw the keyboard across the room.
This game, dubbed the first domestic 3A masterpiece, “Black Myth: Wukong,” had sparked a frenzy online upon its release.
Lu Xuan, too, had become one of its many players.
He had forked out 268 yuan for the game, then prepared himself with bottled water and instant noodles, ready to conquer the game in the shortest time possible.
But to Lu Xuan’s shock,
He, the fabled “Chosen One,” was already stopped dead in his tracks by the blue ghost in front of him, just a few steps into the first level.
Was this big-headed doll really the first enemy?
Its skills had a wide range and long duration, it moved incredibly fast, and its dodge mechanics were exceptional!
The difficulty was so high right from the start. For three or four hours, Lu Xuan had been stuck on this big-headed doll,
as if it was the only enemy in the entire game.
He had fought it 130 times, each ending in defeat. He couldn’t even manage to take out half its health.
Damn! Not today, my luck must be bad. I’m not playing anymore.
I’ll watch some videos to relax and check out some guides on how to beat this big-headed doll.
Lu Xuan shut down his computer.
He was genuinely frustrated after being relentlessly bullied by the boss here.
He turned and grabbed his phone, ready to scroll through some short videos, hoping to see others getting beaten worse than him by the big-headed doll.
He went to his short video app and clicked on related hot topics regarding “Black Myth: Wukong”.
He saw that he wasn't the only one stuck on this big-headed doll, and felt a sense of relief.
He chuckled and scrolled through the videos.
After watching four or five videos, a synthetic, mechanical female voice suddenly rang out in Lu Xuan’s ear.
“Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully activated the short video system!”
“You will receive rewards for watching short videos!”
Who’s talking? Chen Xuan froze.
He took his eyes away from his phone screen and looked around. He was the only one in the room.
He’d been single for so long, why would a woman’s voice be talking?
Was this a side effect of watching too many short videos at 3 am, or had he been up too late and was hallucinating?
No, no, no! Gotta get some sleep!
I’ll probably die if I keep staying up.
Lu Xuan shook his head, deciding his life was more important.
His health was clearly deteriorating, he was even hallucinating – this couldn’t continue.
I’ll watch a few more short videos and sleep when I get tired!
He nodded, thinking to himself, and continued scrolling through another video.
He watched a funny video, laughing until his sides ached and he could barely close his mouth.
Just then, the mechanical female voice rang out in his ear again, and this time, it was becoming clearer!
This time, even Lu Xuan was startled.
“Congratulations, host, you have successfully watched one short video!”
“You have earned a video reward of 1000 yuan!”
Huh? Lu Xuan was still confused.
Before he could even react, he saw a message pop up on his phone screen.
Alipay: 1000 yuan received!
Whoa! Lu Xuan was instantly energized.
He’d thought he was hallucinating, but it seemed like he had a system bound to him!
Just browsing and scrolling through videos, and he got 1000 yuan – only for one video! Is this really possible?
Lu Xuan couldn’t hide the joy on his face, he rubbed his hands together and a smile crept onto his lips.
Why even work a job anymore?
With this short video system in hand, I could just lie in bed and watch videos all day. Wouldn’t that make more than working my ass off at a job for a month?
Never mind, I’m staying up all night, let’s watch!
Lu Xuan couldn’t be bothered with anything else, he immediately started scrolling through videos again, eager to see what kind of rewards this system would give him next!
At the same time, throughout the countless worlds.
As Lu Xuan scrolled through videos, giant screens appeared out of nowhere, across the countless realms.
The world of Journey to the West!
Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong, along with their party, were about to reach Chenjia Village, to help the villagers there defeat the Spirit King who ate people.
Although this demonic creature was a subordinate of Guanyin, the Bodhisattva took it away.
The villagers of Chenjia Village were still immensely grateful for the four pilgrims.
They all came out to see them off.
But just then, they were distracted by a huge screen that had appeared in the sky.
Tang Sanzang was instantly terrified, he turned to Sun Wukong and asked.
“Wukong, you have great powers and have seen many things, what is this?”
Looking at the screen of unknown origin, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and pondered for a moment, but couldn’t figure it out.
He only solemnly said to Tang Sanzang.
“Master, don’t be afraid, I’ll go have a look first!”
The world of Doupo Cangqiong!
The Xiao Clan.
“Dou Qi, third stage!”
“Hahaha, this kid Xiao Yan is a good-for-nothing, if his father wasn’t the clan leader, how would he have the face to stay in our Xiao Clan?”
Xiao Yan lowered his head in self-deprecation, his hands were bleeding from gripping them so tightly.
A huge booming sound suddenly shook the heavens, a screen appeared before everyone!
The disciples of the Xiao Clan were all terrified, their faces pale with fear.
Xiao Xun’er walked over and stood in front of Xiao Yan, saying.
“Brother Xiao Yan, don’t be scared, no matter what happens, I’m here with you.”
“Hurry and tell the clan leader, this might be an invasion from an enemy!”
The faces of the Xiao Clan members all changed, they immediately took up defensive positions, feeling a strange sense of dread towards this sudden, unknown thing.
The world of Hualing Jiang Hu: The Unruly!
The Unruly Leader and Li Xingyun and the rest of the group were all gathered at the entrance to the Dragon Spring Treasure.
They were about to enter and see for themselves what the Dragon Spring Treasure held.
Just then, the heavens changed, a huge screen appeared.
The Unruly Leader turned to look, he guessed in his heart.
“Could it be that within the borders of the Great Tang, besides the various princes, there are other powers remembering the golden age, that this leader was completely unaware of?”
“Who is it?”
The world of Naruto!
Gaara was in the middle of a fierce battle with Rock Lee during the Chunin Exams.
Just then, Rock Lee took off the weights on his legs.
With a bang, the heavy weights fell to the ground.
Everyone was surprised that Rock Lee had been wearing such heavy weights on his legs all this time.
Rock Lee then struck a pose, and with a passionate cry said to Gaara.
“Bring it on.”
“I will take you seriously this time!”
Just then, there was a commotion outside in the sky.
Everyone in the hall was startled.
“What’s going on?”
Naruto ran out first, seeing the screen in the sky, he opened his mouth in shock, saying
“This… what is this?!”
The figures of the Leaf Village ninjas appeared, all rushing outside to look up at the sky. They were all shocked.
“What kind of Ninjutsu is this? It just appeared over our Leaf Village out of nowhere, has the village been attacked?”
“Go and invite the Hokage!”
As the screen appeared across the countless worlds.
The screen changed again!
“The All-World Bullet Screen System has been activated!”
“Everyone from all worlds can now send bullet screens in the rankings!”
