Chapter 23
Be Your Own Hero!

Thank you all for your love for Black Myth: Wukong.

I believe you've been waiting for a game like this for a long, long time.

For so many years, we've been playing other people's games.

You've ridden warhorses and charged into battle in Damascus, sailed the seas under the Jolly Roger in the Caribbean, raced through neon-lit cities in Tokyo, become a cowboy in a small town in the Rockies, been an assassin in a palace by the pyramids…

Now, you can finally return to your homeland,

Become your own hero!

In the near future, people all over the world will discover:

The heroes of ancient Dragon Kingdom are not just WUKONG and GUANYU, there are many more;

The embroidered spring blade and flying fish uniform have become fashionable items, the East Factory and West Factory are chillingly terrifying;

The Chu-Han, Sui-Tang, and Three Kingdoms eras, just like the Three Kingdoms, were all times of heroes rising;

The maritime overlord who rivaled the Spanish Armada was the Treasure Ship of the Ming Dynasty;

The tombs that hold treasures are not only pyramids, but also the eerie Insect Valley Tomb of the King of Xian and the Changbai Mountain Cloud Top Heaven Palace;

Loong is Loong, no longer an evil and greedy flying insect, but a sacred and majestic totem;

Ancient Dragon Kingdom has its own creator god, fire god, water god, underworld god, and thunder god;

When the great flood came, they didn't have Noah's Ark, but they survived in a more unyielding way…

And it all starts with that monkey, wielding his iron rod, defiant and unyielding.

I hope the emergence of Black Myth: Wukong is just a beginning, a prologue.

Next, let's give the world a little shock together.

After this text was posted.

It quickly caught the attention of countless players who were paying attention to Black Myth: Wukong.

“So燃!”

“Why are my eyes a little wet?”

“Indeed, when I downloaded a game before, my first reaction was to see if there was Simplified Chinese, sadly most games didn't have it.”

“Who understands the killing power of the default language being Chinese.”

“I'm now incredibly strong, give me a stick, I'm going to beat up ten thousand!”

“Feel like Black Myth: Wukong's developer is very interesting, I wonder what they're like in real life.”

“It must be a team right?”

“Whatever, I'm going to play Black Myth: Wukong no matter what today!”

“Unexpectedly, the download speed became the first of the eighty-one trials, I haven't finished downloading yet, and I don't have enough memory.”

“What are you thinking? Clear your hard drive! It's time for the teachers lying on your hard drive to move out.”

At this time, at the headquarters of Douyin, Dragon Kingdom's largest short video platform.

Several company executives were sitting in the conference room.

The heads of the technical department and the operations department were all there.

The atmosphere was a little tense.

“I believe you've all seen the heat of Black Myth: Wukong, the game’s popularity is ridiculously high on our platform and across the entire internet.”

“This is the specific data as of noon today.”

On the projector in the conference room, some data and tables appeared.

Then a sound of gasps arose from the conference room.

“It’s explosive, right? Unprecedented, right?”

“And it’s not just that, the heat of Black Myth: Wukong came on very suddenly this time.”

“Moreover, the traffic and popularity are not a short-term hot event.”

“Take a look at the traffic curve.”

Black Myth: Wukong’s traffic curve has a clear upward trend.”

“In other words, the explosive popularity we're seeing now is just the beginning.”

“It's still hard to tell when it will peak.”

“But one thing is certain, this is an opportunity for Douyin!”

The head of Douyin’s operations department had a gleam in his eyes.

“We've always been strong in short videos.”

“In terms of live streaming, especially game live streaming, we haven't focused on it before.”

“But now the appearance of Black Myth: Wukong is definitely an opportunity!”

“In fact, I noticed that the first to live stream Black Myth: Wukong across the internet were our Douyin streamers.”

“We have to seize this wave of popularity!”

“Open a special section, not a game section, but a Black Myth: Wukong section!”

“Give traffic to all streamers who are live streaming Black Myth: Wukong.”

“By the way, the most crucial point is, we must contact the streamer who was the first to try out Black Myth: Wukong across the internet as soon as possible!”

“Give them a contract, we can negotiate as long as there are conditions!”

“We must seize this person, my gut tells me that this person and the developers behind Black Myth: Wukong definitely have other good things they haven't brought out yet.”

Not long after, Douyin headquarters’ technical department and operations department started working frantically.

In less than two hours, Douyin live streaming had a prominent Black Myth: Wukong section.

Douyin moved quickly.

Other platforms were also quick to react.

By the afternoon, in addition to Douyin, C Station, Shark, Wolf Tooth, and other live streaming platforms all followed suit.

They directly promoted a large Black Myth: Wukong section on their homepages.

Naturally, all the streamers on various platforms noticed the heat of Black Myth: Wukong.

For a while, almost all the big streamers announced.

Today's live stream content is only one thing.

Black Myth: Wukong!

Everyone was on the lookout, eager to take action.

This wave of popularity from Black Myth: Wukong must be seized!
