Lin Xue looked around the experience store as she ignored the requests to see pretty girls in the chat.
Most of them were playing Warcraft, a small portion were playing Plants vs Zombies and other mobile games. The two computers closest to the front desk seemed to have been used by the other two assistants, one adjusting the stats and one editing the story.
"I don't see Chen Mo, he's probably on the second floor."
Lin Xue didn't see Chen Mo after looking around the store.
Chen Mo had shown his face when he was explaining, so many people remembered his face.
Lin Xue didn't want to look for Chen Mo directly as she didn't know if he was working, and it would be rude to disturb him.
There weren't many games on the computers, most of them were developed by Thunderbolt Entertainment. Lin Xue noticed an icon she hadn't seen before, the name of the game was Wulin Legend.
"So it's a Wuxia theme! Chen Mo has never disappointed anyone when it comes to the element of surprise. "
Lin Xue was pleasantly surprised.
As a female streamer who loved single player games, Lin Xue had some knowledge of the video game industry. She knew that China themed games were basically Xianxia games, and there weren't many games that dared to make a Wuxia theme.
However, many players were looking forward to Wuxia games, as the setting and feel of Wuxia games were completely different from Xianxia games.
Moreover, many Xianxia MMORPGs were still the same as Western RPGs if you went deeper into the game. They just changed the packaging and story, but there wasn't much new to the gameplay.
There were some Xianxia single player games that were quite good, but there were quite a few of them, and the players were getting bored of them.
From Lin Xue's perspective, Chen Mo was brave enough to make a Wuxia theme.
"Alright, I'll download a livestream app now. The internet in the experience store should be pretty good. I'll switch to a computer and show everyone Chen Mo's new Wuxia game," said Lin Xue.
Lin Xue downloaded the livestream app as she paid attention to the chat.
"Looking for the cute receptionist!"
"Looking for the cute receptionist's contact info!"
"Xue, go look for Chen Mo, get him to teach you how to play Warcraft!"
"I don't want to watch Wuxia games. The domestic Wuxia games are too lame. It's definitely not fun!"
"Yeah, it's not easy to get to the experience store. Why don't you show us the layout of the experience store instead of playing games?"
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Let Ah Xue decide what she wants to broadcast."
"I like wuxia games. I want to see it!"
"I have to check out Chen Mo's new game!"
All kinds of things were said.
The internet speed was very fast, and the live broadcast software had already been downloaded. Lin Xue made some adjustments and found that there were no major problems. She then switched the live broadcast from her phone to her computer.
Double-click the icon and entered the game.
First, there was an opening CG.
The background looked like Xuan paper. A drop of ink was dripped onto the paper, slowly spreading it to reveal the Thunderbolt Entertainment logo in the form of a seal.
The scene flashed by quickly. On the Xuan paper, every stroke seemed to be writing something. Between the strokes, an ink painting of a person flashed by quickly. The composition was clearly layered. These people had simple movements, such as zooming in and out, moving horizontally, or appearing and disappearing. They appeared on the screen one by one.
There was a confident swordsman, a ferocious demoness, a dignified monk, a mysterious expert … all sorts of classic characters flashed by, making it difficult for Lin Xue to take them all in.
The CG continued, and the camera seemed to zoom out. Part of a word could be seen, but it wasn't clear what it was.
The image changed to a few martial artists fighting over a scroll. On top of the screen, there was a sinister looking villainous figure controlling everything from the shadows.
The confident young swordsman flew across the screen, cutting down all the bandits that tried to block his way.
An old man stood with his back to the camera amidst the misty mountains. He had the demeanor of a sage, with his disciples standing behind him respectfully.
In the forest of plum blossoms, a gentle looking girl was playing the guqin, while a long haired knight was playing the flute, like a celestial couple.
Above the desert, a huge condor flew past. A swordsman sat on the back of the condor, overlooking everything below.
It was a chaotic battle, with all sorts of heroes appearing.
Finally, an evil-looking villain suddenly opened his eyes, and four words appeared in the center of the screen.
Wulin Legend!
Lin Xue was quite shocked after seeing the CG.
If you were to compare it to Warcraft's CG, the quality of this CG was far worse. After all, the cost was different, and the effect would be vastly different.
An ink CG like this wasn't even a fraction of the cost of Warcraft's CG.
However, what surprised Lin Xue was that the CG's atmosphere was amazing, it perfectly brought out the atmosphere of a Wuxia game.
It could be seen that the characters in it were very typical wuxia characters, and a few events were also authentic wuxia events. Coupled with the ink style of expression and background music, the entire CG gave a very unified feeling, making people feel that this was a traditional wuxia theme.
A CG like this couldn't be made by foreigners, only domestic designers with a deep understanding of Wuxia culture could do it.
The game entered after the CG.
The background was an ink style painting, with Thunderbolt Gaming's logo at the bottom left, and Wulin Legend at the top.
There were four options at the bottom right, [Beginner], [Rejoin the World], [Retired to the Woods], and [Past Is Smoke].
Lin Xue clicked on [Beginner] to enter the game.
What surprised her was that she didn't enter the game right away, but instead came to an interface for adjusting character attributes.
On this interface, you could change your character's name, profile picture, and basic attributes.
System Notification: Press the spacebar to change your attributes at random.
Lin Xue was surprised as well, it was the first time she saw something like this in a China themed game.
Some foreign Western Fantasy games had similar settings, but they usually allocated attribute points to attributes such as Strength and Intelligence.
After looking closely, Lin Xue realised that the way attribute points were allocated in Legend of Wuxia was different to those Western Fantasy games.
There were three talents, 'Smart', 'Sentimental', and 'Chivalrous Heart'. There were also three basic attributes: Qi, Inner Strength, and Understanding. Other than that, there were three Eight Trigrams that were different attributes.
The first Eight Trigrams was: Eye, Ear, Soft, Body, Qinggong, Inner Strength, Attack, Defense.
The second Eight Trigrams was: Mining, Hunting, Fishing, Herb Gathering, Pill Making, Smithing, Cooking, Tea Making.
The third Eight Trigrams was: Medicine, Chess, Poison, Medicine, Drawing, Calligraphy, Wine Making, and Flower Making.
Lin Xue was shocked, there were way too many attributes to choose from!
She clicked on the spacebar, and all the attributes changed randomly.
Lin Xue realised that the lowest attribute was 0, and the highest was 30. The total value of the attributes should be fixed, it was just a matter of how they were allocated.
Moreover, as the attributes changed, so did the three talents.
