Xu Chen answered the lucky audience's question in detail, also taking the opportunity to promote Xu Tian Tian.
After all, for Xu Chen, the more fans Xu Tian Tian had, the more beneficial it was for Xu Chen himself.
Xu Tian Tian was essentially a self-media platform that Xu Chen could control.
Having a self-media platform meant having a voice and a channel to spread information.
It would be great if Xu Tian Tian could become a major streamer with millions of followers.
After Xu Chen finished speaking, a barrage of messages flew across the live stream.
“I told you Xu Tian Tian has secret techniques.”
“Of course, she's close to the source, so she gets the benefit.”
“As the sister of a game developer, knowing a few tips for getting past levels is logically sound.”
“Looks like I'll have to start following her.”
“I have a feeling that the Big-Headed Ghost is just the beginning; there will definitely be more similar bosses later on.”
“This is another kind of player benefit, after all, I'm a terrible gamer, and I only managed to beat Big-Head thanks to Xu Tian Tian's skills.”
…
Xu Chen quickly clicked on another viewer.
“Alright, now let’s connect with the second lucky audience.”
After a few seconds of static, a relatively calm male voice came from the other side.
“Hello, I started playing Black Myth: Wukong after my son introduced it to me.”
The voice on the other side made Xu Chen pause.
He didn't expect it to be an older gentleman.
Judging by his voice, he must be in his 40s or 50s.
“At first, I didn't have high hopes, but then I noticed something.”
“It was the font in Black Myth: Wukong.”
“I found that many of the fonts in the game look quite beautiful.”
“I looked it up, and someone said that some of the fonts were inspired by Japanese font design.”
“I wanted to ask if that's true?”
Hearing this question, the viewers in the live stream were a bit dumbfounded.
“Font? I haven't even paid attention to that.”
“I did notice something; the fonts on the Shadow God's Image and some of the items are very special.”
“The coolest one is the two characters for 'Victory' after defeating a boss, so majestic!”
“I've seen similar claims like the older gentleman's, saying that some fonts in the game were inspired by Japanese fonts.”
“No way? This is a Chinese game; why would they use Japanese fonts?”
“Let's hear what Big Brother has to say.”
…
Xu Chen smiled slightly at this point.
“I didn't expect the second question to be so insightful.”
“First of all, this older gentleman is a very attentive gamer.”
“Black Myth: Wukong uses many unique fonts.”
“But these fonts aren't some Japanese-designed fonts.”
“They're from our own Chinese culture.”
“For example, all the boss names are taken from the characters of Ouyang Xun, a renowned calligrapher from the Sui and early Tang dynasties.”
“For instance, later on, everyone will meet a very cute boss, Tiger Vanguard.”
“The character for ‘first’ is from Ouyang Xun's calligraphy in the Epitaph of Qiu Shi.”
“The character for ‘pioneer’ is from Ouyang Xun's Epitaph of Huangfu Dan.”
When Xu Chen said this, a colorful message flew across the live stream.
Apparently, some bigwig used a special effect.
“Ah? That’s a bit of a problem; Ouyang Xun was from the early Tang dynasty, and his surviving works need to avoid the taboo of Emperor Li Yuan’s grandfather.”
“Li Yuan’s grandfather’s name was Li Hu. The character for 'Tiger' shouldn't be from Ouyang Xun's calligraphy.”
After this colorful message flashed, the live stream immediately buzzed with activity.
“Wow, there's a pro here?”
“The part about the boss names being calligraphy collected from famous calligraphers is already outrageous.”
“This is something only calligraphy and history enthusiasts could pick up on.”
“The conversation is getting high-level.”
“I'm guessing the streamer was trying to show off, but he met a real pro. Now he's in over his head.”
“Don't worry, let's see how the streamer explains it.”
Xu Chen saw this message with a hint of doubt but didn't get angry; he just smiled.
“This viewer is a calligraphy enthusiast, it seems.”
“Your observation is very precise.”
“The character for 'Tiger' in Tiger Vanguard comes from Yan Zhenqing's Zhong Yi Tang Tie calligraphy.”
Xu Chen answered slowly.
“There's a special reason for choosing Ouyang Xun.”
“In his later years, Ouyang Xun became thin and ugly; people thought he looked like a monkey.”
“Zhangsun Wuji mocked Ouyang Xun once, saying, 'Who says in the Lin Pavilion, a monkey is drawn like this?'”
“Even Ouyang Xun's image matches Black Wukong.”
“And it's not just the boss names that use traditional fonts.”
“The inscriptions on the weapons use small seal script, which is also historically accurate.”
“Also, the two characters for 'Victory' that appear after defeating a boss, which everyone remembers so vividly.”
“Those aren't Japanese fonts.”
“They're collected characters by Zhao Mengfu, a renowned calligrapher of the late Song and early Yuan dynasties.”
“‘De’ comes from Yuan You Tie, and ‘sheng’ comes from Shu Shan Tu Ge.”
“There are many more details about the various fonts and other elements in Black Myth: Wukong.”
“I won't go into them all here; I hope you'll find them yourselves.”
“It's part of the game's enjoyment.”
After Xu Chen finished speaking, the live stream was silent for a while.
After a long moment, the chat exploded.
“Elegant, simply elegant.”
“I'm actually a bit moved.”
“Who says games are the bane of society? As long as you put your heart into it, the culture that games can carry is no less than any other cultural product.”
“Our ancestors' culture is so deep.”
“It's so much more comfortable to hear professionals talk about their expertise.”
“My brain is itching; I'm going to gain some knowledge.”
“If you're cultured, share more; I love it.”
“The reason why our Wukong, our calligraphy, and our landscapes are often mistaken for Japanese ones is because other people’s games and anime were popular before and had a head start.”
“Black Myth: Wukong will surely be able to export Chinese culture well and make everyone eat their fill of quality food.”
“I told you, every time I defeat a boss, those two characters look so powerful. They're actually from Zhao Mengfu's hand.”
At this point, Xu Chen had already connected with the next lucky audience.
