Chapter 93: Chapter 54: Breaking Defense Made it to Thunderbolt Trending! High-Quality Secondary Creation Adds Another Blow!_3

♪Old man with white hair, carrying a child down the mountain♪

In the final challenge of Wind Traveler, before a mountain shrouded in icy winds and snow, thick white snow lay everywhere.

And the next moment, the camera shifted.

It was the first time Hei, controlled by Yin, encountered the figure in the white robe in a dream.

The white robe was tall, and Hei was short, with Sacred Mountain looming in the distance. The imagery still matched the lyrics perfectly, as the uploader continued to deliver intensely.

♪From afar watching angels dance joyfully, I now drink merrily♪

♪Once parted from the cold mountain, when shall I return♪

In the video, the dreamlike scene unfolded where Hei finally stormed to the summit of Sacred Mountain.

Everything came to life ás if drunkenly adrift in this ocean of sky.

Then Hei arrived at a gap between the mountains.

One step in, and the screen burst into a blaze of white light.

Up until this point, the barrage of comments had yet to realize what was about to happen.

The screen was filled with ’genius’ comments, indicating the uploader had done an excellent job blending the imagery with the song lyrics.

"Genius! So full of meaning!"

"As the background music sang ’Once parted from the cold mountain,’ when will I return, it coincided precisely with Hei leaving the snow mountain and then the screen erupting in white light. The atmosphere was masterfully captured by the uploader! Full marks from me!"

And soon.

A gentle and lingering female voice began to hum in the background.

♪Ah~~~~~♪

♪Ah~~~~~ah ah~~♪

Several highlighted comments suddenly popped up on the screen, filled with ’High energy ahead!’ and ’Defense breach warning!’ alerts.

But there were also stubborn comments that continued to challenge.

"This is it? How could this possibly ’cut’ me?"

"Nothing in this world can break my defense!"

But the next moment, the scene presented on the screen instantly silenced all those who had been boasting about their high resistance.

The female vocalist began singing the chorus softly.

And the video’s imagery seemed to start narrating from Yin’s first-person perspective.

♪I wish to face the wind and stay my steps a few more~~♪

♪How can I bear the cold wind inflicting my pain~~♪

In the video, it was the snow mountain challenge where Yin had just picked up the red ribbon intending to turn back to replenish his brother’s depleted energy.

He walked a few steps into the wind, wishing to keep his brother with him.

But his brother took several steps back.

The appearance of this scene instantly breached the collective defense of the viewers!

"Damn!! Stop cutting!!"

"My defenses are down damn it! My little brother!"

Yet the video persisted in wielding its blades, not giving the viewers any chance to catch their breath.

♪I say don’t cry, cold mountain, I’ll take you out~~♪

♪I’ve tried my best to save you, to take you out~~♪

On the screen at that moment, Yin was clenched his teeth, striving to push his brother to the mountain peak.

Just like the lyrics, Yin was at that point nearly exhausting all his efforts to lead his brother out of the snow mountain.

Then in the next instant, the uploader switched back to the brother’s perspective with murderous precision, as if the lyrics were mimicking the brother’s voice.

♪I’ve become ice with no way back♪

♪How can I leave the cold ice that freezes my very soul♪

The brother, at his life’s final moment, was quickly enveloped in frost, ultimately turning into an ice sculpture standing amidst the wind and snow.

There were no more movements ever.

And the last stretch of lyrics also gently and slowly came to an end.

♪I say don’t cry, cold mountain, I am still here for you~~♪

♪I am still here, still here for you~~♪

Accompanied by the melancholic outro.

The video’s final frame settled on the smiling expression drawn by the brother before his death in the midst of the snowstorm.

^-^

After that, the screen slowly dimmed and faded to black.

Thus concluded a less than two-minute video edit + music that had been creatively produced.

Yet all the viewers who watched the video felt as though something was lodged in their throats, their emotions heavy and subdued.

Unfortunately, since the video wasn’t a livestream, they couldn’t immediately express their feelings in the comments.

As a result, the comment section became lively.

Many viewers who finished watching the video rushed to the comment section.

"Dang it!! Who taught you to edit videos like this!!"

"I’m broken, I admit I’m totally shattered! Damn!!"

"Passed by after watching Yin’s entire live stream, I never thought that in less than two days, I could be stabbed by the same knife twice..."

"Damn it! It’s like saying ’come and stab me, brother’!"

"Sob sob sob... You might as well have killed this useless me with a fruit knife, why bother bringing out the dragon-slaying sword..."

"This game was made by Baby Ke, right? Then it’s all good, this sob definitely has a way with playing with gamers’ emotions!"

"Baby Ke? You really deserve to die! Baby Ke!!"

Besides the comments, there was also a netizen who quickly made a meme and posted it directly in the comment section.

The meme was a brief four-panel comic.

The first panel showed a person wearing heavy armor.

In the second panel, the armored guy confidently said, "There’s nothing in this world that can break my defense!"

In the third panel, someone off-screen said a line.

"Younger brother: ^-^"

By the fourth panel, the helmet of the armored guy was removed, revealing a shocked and crying cat head inside.

As this meme resonated so well with the many viewers who had finished the video, they liked it in droves, pushing it to the top comments.

Yet, the situation was far from over.

Not many had the patience to watch the full two and a half hour recording of Yin’s broadcast.

But a two and a half minute video condensed all the highlights of Yin’s live stream of "Wind Traveler" from last night.

The video uploader was in top form, nearly making the lyrics and imagery perfectly match, not only showcasing the beautiful graphics of the game but also the trembling, Zen-like journey.

Without having to play the game, just two and a half minutes were enough to let people experience a resonance with their souls.

And so, the view count started to skyrocket like on a rocket!

When it came out during the day, it barely had tens of thousands of views.

By the evening, it had already stormed into the top ten hot works on Thunderbolt, reaching a million views!

And the momentum was not slowing down!

Although the uploader did not think too much while editing the video, it truly struck the softest spot in the hearts of countless viewers in this high-pressure world.

"Wind Traveler" was also a journey that purified the soul.

This video spread like wildfire, increasingly becoming widespread!

Beyond the video itself, hot searches started to include.

#HeartwarmingGames#

#WindTraveler#

Related tags also began to slowly surface.

More and more onlookers started to search actively or passively to learn about this game.

And more and more other uploaders joined in the creation.

They captured the core highlight of the game, which was also the main reason that attractive video drew everyone in.

Companionship.

The pace of life is too fast now, and everyone is too lonely.

Everyone needs companionship.

Everyone needs the kind of companionship that moistens things silently.

So, this game, where you can’t communicate throughout, relying entirely on the two players to resonate from the depths of their hearts and to create emotional sparks,

Became the top choice for many people.

All these videos had one thing in common.

That is, after the uploader played through the game once, they would then edit a video to quickly tell the heartwarming stories that happened along the way with the companion they met in the game.

On the other side of the screen, hidden from the player.

The companion they met could be a white-haired elderly person.

It could also be a child still in elementary school.

It might be an office worker who’s already joined the workforce.

Or it could be a delivery guy who’s had a tiring day of deliveries.

No matter what their identity in real life is,

in this game, almost without exception and without reservation,

They offered their utmost kindness and gentleness to the other person.

The brilliance that shines in human nature was brought to its pinnacle by this little game!

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

The raging blaze triggered by one high-quality derivative video was indeed burning fiercely.
