The father, attempting light-footed kung fu for the first time, "took to the sky" first, watched by his son, who kept exclaiming "Wow!" and "woohoo!" in admiration.
The scene shifts, and soon the father and son are playing in the sky together.
The photographers at Blue Star are quite professional; the camerawork in the entire promotional video is smooth and fluid, as if you're traveling with the father and son through the heavens and the earth.
The comments section was filled with responses:
[This is so exciting!]
Holy crap, isn't this like parkour where you fly and teleport? Nobody ever imagined parkour could be this cool in a game!
My heart was pounding! Is this the legendary light-footed skill?
Coach, I want to play "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!!!
What game is this? When will it be released? Are there any other similar games?
Soon, the experience with the light-footwork system came to an end.
The father and son finally stood on the edge of the cliff, watching the sunrise together from the mountainside—the camera also captured a distant view of the beginner village, Shiyin Village.
The mountains and forests are like an emerald sea, with small bridges, flowing water, and houses, and wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys.
This scene is poetic and delightful.
The son said casually, "Dad, when I retire, I'll find a decent place to live out my retirement."
The father was both amused and exasperated. He reached out and patted his head, saying, "You're only 11 years old! You've never even worked before, what kind of retirement are you talking about?"
The son then asked, "So what are you planning to do after you retire?"
After thinking for a moment, the father said, "Probably, I'll buy the complete set of Blue Star Studio games, complete one of them every month, and then play through it again and again... I can play Blue Star games forever."
Then, the promotional video ended, followed by the usual scenes of "Xia Ke Xing" and the Blue Star Studio logo.
Even with the screen black, the comments kept refreshing like a waterfall:
[Haha, so true!]
I inexplicably teared up.
【Me too! I can play Earth's games forever!】
No regrets about being born on Earth.
After the black screen ended, there was even a small Easter egg in the promotional video.
The camera captured two messages left by the father and son.
The child whispered to the camera, "Dad, when I grow a little taller, it will be my turn to carry you flying."
After he left, the father reappeared in the shot, acting suspiciously.
He winked and said, "Son, after I retire, I'll take you to play father-son games every day."
Click, the video ends here.
If Blue Star's first promotional video, "White Horse," was a special effects-driven fantasy blockbuster, then the new promotional video is a small and heartwarming film.
Modern gamers love playing games for two main reasons.
One reason is that games are enough to entertain their minds and bodies and enrich their leisure time;
The second reason is that games can bring together a group of like-minded friends to fight together, play together, and happily pass the time together.
Some games can feel a bit lonely when played alone, but become very enjoyable when played with friends.
If you're feeling a bit sentimental, many players will specifically go back and play their favorite games from many years ago.
Just like how League of Legends is about to enter its fifth season, the oldest players have already spent five whole years.
Some freshmen, after having fun for a while, graduate, and the whole dormitory goes their separate ways to live their own lives.
Only when the new season's finals begin will their group chat suddenly be filled with old friends, and they can chat about the current games and the old rules of the game... This is one of the few shared interests they still have.
Maybe after the competition ends, we can meet up and play one last game together.
Even if they don't recognize the new professions anymore, or even if they can't recognize all the resources on the map, at least they can still gather together and relive the joy and emotion they once felt.
Then……
Then it's time for us to go our separate ways and travel to all corners of the world.
...
It's not just players who are like this; even within Blue Star Studio, several long-time employees have left.
Most of them did not leave voluntarily; it was mostly due to unforeseen circumstances such as family changes or health issues that forced them to leave the warm family of Earth.
Overall, it was a good breakup.
Just like Ling Lingqi.
His illness has been basically cured, but he still has some aftereffects. The doctor advised him to stay away from electronic devices as much as possible, and he will probably need to rest and recuperate for several years.
Ling Lingqi had no choice but to resign in disappointment, leaving his position as a programmer at Blue Star Studio and becoming everyone's "old friend".
In his spare time, he would also chat with some of his former colleagues.
