#96 - Wang Xiaoju teaches you how to exceed the speed of light

Linhaishi City, an apartment.

“Today too~ I'll work hard and strive to make~ a video, la la la la~ la la la…” A tall, handsome man hummed an out-of-tune melody, taking the dried clothes off the rack one by one.

He fetched some water into a basin, watered the lush evergreen in the flower pot with the morning breeze and sunlight, admired his girlfriend Mianmian’s sweet sleeping face for a while, and then returned to the computer to start his day's work.

Wang Xiaoju is a full-time up主 (content creator) in the Bilibili gaming section, with the ID “Fear of Heat Wang Xiaoju”. With his very distinctive humorous commentary style, coupled with his handsome face, he has become one of the most popular up主 in the gaming section within three years of his debut.

He first checked the newly added views in his backend, then opened the fans' messages and carefully read them.

“Xiaoju, when are you going to finish the 'Wang Xiaoju Teaches You to Play the Gong and Drum' series!”

“I just finished my exam yesterday, and I saw your 'Wang Xiaoju Teaches You to Build a Home', I'm so happy!”

“Xiaoju, Xiaoju, what game are you going to play in the next episode?”

“Xiaoju, have you played 'To the Moon'? It's a particularly touching game, looking forward to your video on it!”

“Xiaoju, I've been playing 'FTL: Faster Than Light' recently, it's very interesting, I recommend it to you!”

Wang Xiaoju kept scrolling down through the fans' messages, while recording the fans' opinions and recommended games in the notebook next to him.

He has his own set of selection criteria for the games he uses to make videos.

First of all, the highest priority is given to games with high degrees of freedom, and it's best if there is no plot, so that it is convenient for him to add his own settings.

By giving characters stories, he shapes a game world that belongs to him.

The Solar Empire and Future Technology Company are fictional organizations he created through serious nonsense in his series of videos, which are very popular among fans!

Or, they are very difficult hardcore games, where you have to use all your skills to defeat a monster or pass a level, and you have to start all over again if you are not careful. When Wang Xiaoju suffers and gets stuck, it is also the time when fans gloat and are happiest to watch.

However, there are fewer and fewer hardcore games on the market now—in order to take care of more players, manufacturers are thinking about how to make the game less difficult, and all kinds of carefully designed novice guides are proof of this.

If a player appears in a room after entering the game, and the next task requires leaving the room, the designers can't wait to draw an obvious arrow at the door to mark it, for fear that the player does not know what to do.

Finally, if the game has roguelike, dungeon, and card elements that he likes, then it would be even better.

As for the game's graphics, operability, or music, which ordinary players prioritize, they are secondary to him.

As long as the core is interesting enough, even the worst game, he has the confidence to make a hilarious video.

Of course, in addition to these selection criteria, if there are some games that he likes very much, he doesn't mind making a special video about them.

Wang Xiaoju looked at the fans' messages, touched his chin, and a pensive expression appeared on his handsome face: "FTL: Faster Than Light? Space-based, roguelite game, difficult? Sounds good, and many fans have recommended it, I'll take a look."

He opened the game platform and wanted to buy it, but found that he had received a gift, which was "FTL: Faster Than Light."

He was also familiar with the person who sent the gift, a very wealthy fan named "Yakumo Ran's Tail", who would send him a copy of any game he liked.

Wang Xiaoju hurriedly sent a message of thanks. Then he downloaded the game and started playing it.

Opening the game, the magnificent and shocking spectacle of the asteroid belt, and the brave and proud figure of the Kestrel, made him nod slightly, and gave him some expectations.

“The art of this game looks pretty good.”

After entering the game and watching the comic cutscene, he followed the tutorial to learn the basic operation methods.

Wang Xiaoju's eyes gradually brightened: “It seems a little interesting!”

Next is the ship selection section.

Wang Xiaoju's eyes were immediately attracted by the "customize" option below the crew members, and he was overjoyed: "Can I customize the face, hehehe!"

Face customization is one of Wang Xiaoju's favorite game contents!

No matter what character it is, he can create the most distinctive appearance!

If the appearance of the characters in the game is rated on a 5-point scale, with the default appearance being 3 points, he can create an appearance of 1 point, or even a negative point!

Just seeing the wonderful appearance he created can make the audience laugh for three minutes without stopping, and the video effect is excellent!

After playing the game for two hours, Wang Xiaoju no longer hesitated and made a decision: “This video's game is this one!”

High degree of freedom, can customize faces, high difficulty, roguelite!

Perfectly meets his selection criteria!

He aimed the camera at his handsome face and started debugging the recording equipment.

After getting ready, he showed a mouthful of white teeth, smiled at the camera, and said in a magnetic and charming voice: “Hello everyone, dear viewers, today I’m going to make a video about a recently released game called 'FTL: Faster Than Light'…”

That night, Wang Xiaoju processed the video and uploaded it.

The barrage increased rapidly! The dense barrage represents the audience's strong joy!

“Shocked!”

“First there was Xiaoju, then there was the world, the Solar Knight is an immortal!”

“What, the Solar Empire is dead?”

“Top 10,000!”

“Has the empire finally fallen?”

“Xiaoju has been so productive lately! The sow lowered her head in shame!”

In addition to these barrages that are just joking and not serious, a small number of viewers noticed the content of the game.

“The background music is so good.”

“It's actually 'FTL: Faster Than Light'! I bought it as soon as it was released, but I haven't played it yet.”

“Super fun game!”

“Garbage game pre-ordered/smirk”

Wang Xiaoju said: “Although I only played for ten minutes, I am already very familiar with the content of this game. Okay, let's not talk too much nonsense, let's start a new game directly. By the way, before the game, let me introduce it, we are going to drive a spaceship... never mind, let's just go into the game and introduce it later.

There are only two initial ships to choose from now, um, you see they are all very weak, really too weak, but there is no way, other models need to be unlocked by clearing the game or achieving certain conditions.

Then let's use this ship, let's change the ship's name.”

As he spoke, he typed out the words “Zhao Ri Tian”.

“Zhao Ri Tian 233333”

“God TM Zhao Ri Tian”

“I thought you were going to type a serious name!”
