The first boss in "I Wanna Go Home" is the Sun God, and the fighting style is completely different from all other games.
The sun has many different attacks, but each one basically involves unleashing a barrage of instantly fatal attacks—players need to dodge while attacking the boss.
It sounds like nothing special.
But in reality, when the barrage of comments first appeared, the overwhelming sense of awe made many streamers gape and exclaim "Holy crap!"
How am I supposed to dodge this?!
This is the first time that people in the interstellar world have seen a "bullet hell shooter game".
The term "bullet screen" comes from military terminology and describes a dense barrage of bullets as a curtain, giving the impression that they are about to be slammed into your face.
In bullet hell games, the bosses are like enemy aircraft carriers, with all sorts of different bullets that are impossible to defend against.
The worst part is that the player is really just a mortal being; a mere glancing blow from the bullet can kill them instantly, without even deducting any health points.
For example, there is a move called "self-sniping bullets", which is a kind of scattering of bullets like a fairy scattering flowers. Each bullet has a certain tracking ability and will adjust its angle as the player jumps up and down.
The first time this kind of barrage appeared, all the streamers died at least three times.
Only a smart person can quickly figure out how to dodge self-sniping bullets—that is, to use micro-movements to bait them.
When they are about to hit you, dodge with a small movement, while still being able to bait the sniper bullets behind you.
If you move carefully enough, you won't be forced into a corner.
Moreover, this move is as casual as a stroll in a garden, and it looks quite cool.
The popularity of this technical streamer's live stream quickly began to rise rapidly.
Viewers in the live stream expressed their surprise:
Wow, that was amazing!
This must be the streamer with the fastest progress.
Wow, that's amazing! You managed to dodge that?!
[If it were me, I would have died seventy or eighty times over ORZ]
The boss in "I Wanna Go Home" has more than just this one trick up his sleeve.
It also has random missiles, fixed missiles, spread missiles... it has everything, it really is like a fully equipped aircraft carrier, capable of striking the enemy from all angles and directions.
When the tech streamer finally beat the game, the little figure representing the player moved nimbly around the middle of the screen, skillfully dodging the bullets.
Although it's just a small side-scrolling game, it somehow manages to feel like a blockbuster movie!
Some of the bullets I dodged were so intense they made my heart race. I could almost picture a bullet narrowly missing my scalp, complete with a "whoosh" sound effect.
There are actually certain patterns to dodging bullet comments, but many viewers can only admire them without understanding why, thinking that the streamer's reaction speed and hand speed are at their peak, and thus they immediately develop a sense of worship.
Moreover, the streamer remained completely silent throughout the entire stream, with a serious expression—he was fully focused on dodging the comments, and if he were to get distracted, he would be completely ruined, so he had to stay silent and not interact with the audience.
The saying goes, "A serious man is the most handsome," which makes him stand out from the crowd and appear exceptionally tall and imposing.
Moreover, his cool moves were just like watching a spy movie protagonist, dodging bullets and shooting enemies in the air, his crisp and clean actions were dazzling.
A dozen minutes later, after hundreds of attempts.
The tech streamer won the boss battle and finally saw the boss's corpse decompose amidst the tremors. The portal to the next level and the save point automatically appeared.
The streamer breathed a sigh of relief, saved the video, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Only then did he remember to check the live stream, and he was stunned.
—Popularity numbers, did he not mistype them? This is a twenty-fold increase? What's going on? Have I been fighting bosses for twenty years?
The scrolling comments were pouring out like a torrent:
【66666666666666】
【6666666666666666666666】
That's awesome!
[I was playing with three accounts simultaneously; this should be the first streamer to complete the game.]
[A netizen from XX sent their congratulations!!]
[Finally cleared! 262 deaths in total! Report complete!]
Holy crap, that reaction speed is inhuman!
[I'm a fan now, that's amazing!]
Meanwhile, all sorts of gifts were floating around as if they were free.
One wealthy man, who had been holding his breath until the very end, was so excited when the boss finally collapsed that he threw out 10,000 yuan.
The treasure chest was smashed, which generated a lot of traffic, and the streamer was broadcast on the entire gaming platform!
The host's eyes welled up with tears.
It's important to know that technically skilled streamers aren't actually the most popular in the game streaming section.
People still prefer streamers who are eloquent and persuasive, even if their skills are slightly lacking, because their live streams are more entertaining.
