The following is the interpretation of each chapter of Black Myth:
** 1. Chapter 1 Animation ("Seeing")**
- [Core of the story: It mainly tells the story of Elder Jin Chi and the black bear demon.] Elder Jin Chi had been chasing after wealth since he was young. When he was young, he used the alms bowl (which should have symbolized the pursuit of purity of the soul and indifference to fame and fortune) to capture the toad that symbolized wealth and luck. One could see his desire for material things. Later, when he met the black bear spirit, he threw away his bowl and accepted the treasures, gradually being corroded by greed. After seeing Tang Sanzang's flame-patterned kasaya (flame was a symbol of Buddhism), his greed was completely ignited. Although he wore the kasaya, he had no intention of cultivating. The patterns on the back of the kasaya also reflected his yearning for wealth. In the end, when he wanted to possess the kasaya, he was backfired and the temple caught fire. And the interaction between him and the black bear spirit was also constantly encouraging his greed.
- ** Meaning and relationship with the original work **: This chapter reveals the meaning behind Elder Jin Chi's name,"Gold is the name, and the pool is the store", implying his greed for gold and silver. When he was defeated, his words also showed that greed was endless."Greed" was the first of the five poisons in the human heart, which opened the opening theme of the game. At the same time, he merged with the black bear spirit in the shadow and completely became a beast of desire. This was also related to the plot of the original book, corresponding to the content of the 16th chapter of the original book. The final ending, such as the dialogue between the black bear and Guanyin, was also consistent with the original plot. The first Great Sage root artifact,"Seeing Joy", also echoed the desire theme of this chapter.
** 2. Chapter 2 Animation (The Story of the Scholar and the White Fox)**
- [Core of the story: The story of how the little fox turned into a fox girl after the scholar saved her.] On the surface, it was the scholar's kindness that prompted him to save her, but the result was beyond his expectations.
- ** Meaning and relationship with the whole **: This story seems to have nothing to do with the main story, but in fact, it explored the complexity of human nature and the subtle relationship between good and evil. It conveyed the point that humans, beasts, Buddhas, and demons all have their own root tools and should not be divided by good or bad. The lines in the animation were also from different positions of the characters to say things that were beneficial to themselves, insinuating the positioning of different characters in the world of Journey to the West. For example, Bodhisattva Lingji's lines implied that one should not jump out of one's position without permission.
** 3. Chapter 3 Animation (Fart)**
- ** Story Core **: The villagers salvaged a strange creature from the sea (known as the Yellow Eyebrow). After the Yellow Eyebrow cut open its body and gave the villagers wealth, the villagers began to worship it, but the villagers were conquered by greed. In the end, the Golden Cicada Master accused Huang Mei of trying to prove the greed of humans by reversing the cause and effect, while Huang Mei claimed that he was the winner.
- ** Meaning and connection with the theme **: It once again emphasized the natural order in the world of the Journey to the West and the theme that the gods and Buddhas thought they could control the lower creatures. It also deeply explored the greed and causality in human nature. For example, Huang Mei's sentence,"If you don't insist on winning or losing, why do you prove the cause and effect of the human heart?" triggered people to think deeply about human nature and causality.
** 4. Chapter 4: Animation (Don't Listen)**
- [Core of the story: It closely portrays the complicated relationship between Zhu Bajie and Zi Zhu Er, filling in the gaps in Zhu Bajie's background story.] Zhu Bajie was demoted to the mortal world because he saw something he shouldn't have seen. Zizhu 'er volunteered to become a spider demon and reunited with him when she took a bath in the spring of washing dirt. After Zhu Bajie set foot on the west road, this marriage became difficult to reconcile.
- [Meaning in the game: Enrich the background of the game, especially the plot related to the characters, and show the complexity of the relationship between the characters in the Journey to the West.]
** 5. Chapter 5: Animation (<
The plot of Black Myth: Wukong took place after the four disciples of Tang Sanzang learned the scriptures. After Sun Wukong was conferred the title of the Fighting Buddha, he gave up his Buddhist position and returned to Huaguo Mountain to live a carefree life. However, the celestial heavens did not want to let him go. God Erlang led the celestial troops and generals to descend on the Flowerfruit Mountain again, and a great battle began. In the end, Wukong was defeated. As he was a stone monkey born from heaven and earth, he had the ability to be immortal. After being defeated, his body and soul split into six strands. Yang Jian gave five of them, namely Wukong's eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and body, to the participants of this battle, including the four Westward Journey bosses and the Bull Demon King. In the game, the player played the role of a young monkey, the "Destined One", who was 500 years later. He had to go on the Journey to the West again to collect six roots to revive the Great Sage and revive the Huaguo Mountain. During this process, the "destined person" began to take risks from different levels. For example, at the Black Wind Mountain checkpoint, which was originally the first difficult place in Journey to the West, although the Guanyin Zen Temple was rebuilt, it was occupied by the black bear spirit and the little demons. After the "destined person" defeated the black bear spirit, he obtained one of the six "Seeing Joy". The black bear spirit said that he was forced by the Heavenly Court to become enemies with the "destined person". After that, the " Destined Man " came to the Yellow Wind Ridge checkpoint. This place was ruled by the Yellow Wind King. There were all kinds of bizarre stories and complicated character relationships. The players needed to continue exploring in this checkpoint to find the next spiritual root. The entire game story was based on the foundation of Journey to the West. It was full of fantasy and showed many mysterious story lines and character relationships. Not satisfied with the game?

Black Myth: Wukong's story animation contained a lot of content. In the first anime, it described the process of the destined one defeating the black bear spirit who had returned to Black Wind Mountain and obtaining one of the six "Eyes of Joy". The painter of this chapter had a delicate painting style and a strong traditional Chinese painting style, which well expressed traditional culture. The first chapter of the animation showed the story of Elder Jinchi coveting the monk's cassock and burning the Guanyin Zen Temple in Journey to the West. However, in the animation, Elder Jinchi and the black bear became good friends after meeting. Elder Jin Chi had been chasing after wealth since he was a child. When he was a child, he took the alms bowl (which was supposed to symbolize rejecting material life and pursuing purity of the soul) to capture the toad that symbolized wealth. He was indifferent when he saw the corpse. When he met the black bear spirit, he threw away the alms bowl and accepted the property. As he grew up, although he was wearing a kasaya, his greed was deep. When he saw the monk's kasaya, his greed was completely ignited when he saw the monk's flame-patterned kasaya (the flame pattern originated from the back of the Buddha statue and symbolized Buddhism). In the end, he lost to greed in the battle with greed. He merged with the black bear spirit in the shadow and became a beast of desire. Finally, he died. The black bear spirit finally asked Guanyin,"The love of the monk has been broken, and the golden sea has dried up." Why can't the elder put down a piece of clothing?" Guanyin replied,"If I don't put on this dress, how will the sentient beings know that my love has been broken and that the golden sea has dried up?" When Elder Jinchi was defeated, he said that he had earned hundreds of kasayas for nothing, but they were not as good as one of Tang Sanzang's. This reflected the endless greed and also implied the "eyes" in the six, which were the likes and dislikes and desires born from seeing. This echoed the "joy of seeing" obtained from the double-pupiled Chongming Bird. The second level in the game told the story of the Yellow Wind Sage. He was a good demon who defeated the wind and sand in order to save the people in the city. The corresponding picture scroll was the story of Wukong moving Lingji Bodhisattva to subdue the yellow wind in Journey to the West. Within the framework of the game's plot, the story after Journey to the West was the ultimate interrogation of fate and self. Although the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal became a Buddha after his Journey to the West, the Heavenly Court and Spirited Mountain were full of schemes and power struggles. Tang Sanzang's return from the scriptures was also arranged clearly. Wukong felt that he had jumped from a cage into a bigger cage, so he wanted to resign from the Buddha's position and return to Huaguo Mountain to be a carefree Monkey King. However, he was hunted by the Heavenly Court. Erlang God brought the Heavenly Army and Heavenly General to knock him down on Huaguo Mountain. Wukong's body was divided into six pieces and distributed to the five big demons. When his "Six Roots" were taken away, a new story began. The player transformed into an ordinary monkey and became a "destined person". He would inherit Sun Wukong's will and embark on the journey to the West, which was full of unknown and challenging challenges. He would be guided by the mysterious old monkey and face ferocious demons, the pursuit of the Heavenly Court and the Spirited Mountain, as well as countless plots and traps.

Black Myth: Wukong's performance in terms of consumption data was very eye-catching. Its distribution platforms were mainly Steam and the PlayStation 5. On the Steam platform, the national standard version was priced at 268 yuan, and the digital luxury version was priced at 328 yuan. It sold 4.5 million sets on the day of release, and the sales exceeded 1.5 billion. After it went online, it quickly became the top trending topic. The sales volume exceeded 10 million units in three days. As of August 27, the total sales volume reached 15.4 million units, and the total revenue exceeded 730 million US dollars. According to PG Insights, by September 12th, its Steam platform had sold 18.9 million copies, with total revenue exceeding $905 million. From a cost-recovery perspective, the game had to sell at least three million copies to recoup its losses, and its sales far exceeded that figure. This meant that it had already made considerable profits, demonstrating the huge commercial success of the game and also reflecting its popularity among players. Not only did domestic players have a high evaluation of it, but foreign players were also very popular with it. A large number of players bought the game, driving the continuous growth of sales and total revenue.
The old monkey's monologue contained different versions of Wukong's fate. One theory is that Wukong helped Tang Sanzang get the true scriptures, sealed the Fighting Buddha and stayed in Lingshan; another theory is that the real Wukong had already died on the road to the west, and he was not the one who became Buddha; there is also a theory that the Journey to the West never happened, and Wukong was fabricated by storytellers. This reflected that the game plot might revolve around Goku's true identity. Combined with the fact that the player's chosen one had lost a lot of memory and had Goku's appearance and skills, it made people wonder which one was the real Goku. This monologue also added a mysterious color to the game's plot, making it possible for the plot to refer to the real and fake Monkey King's discussion. It hinted that in the game's worldview, Wukong's experience might have many explanations, and there might be hidden secrets behind the Western Buddhist Scriptures. Not satisfied with the game?

In Black Myth: Wukong, the fox had a unique cultural meaning and image. From the perspective of the development of Chinese culture, the "fox worship" in China had a long history. In the pre-Qin period, the ancients worshipped foxes because they were clever, intelligent, and mysterious. During the Han Dynasty, special foxes such as white foxes, black foxes, or nine-tailed foxes were regarded as auspicious signs or symbols of great evil. Ordinary foxes became "demon beasts, which were used by ghosts". They began to be thought to cause trouble, such as disrupting the court and confusing people's minds. However, at this time, foxes did not have the ability to transform into human forms. They often imitated handsome men to confuse good women. Although they brought disaster, they would not actively harm people (except for revenge on humans). During the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, in the supernatural literature, the embryonic form of a female fox that seduced men to commit adultery appeared on the stage of history. It frequently appeared in supernatural novels such as "Search for Gods." Due to the turmoil of the times, fox demons that harmed people for no reason became frequent visitors. The setting that a fox could transform into a human at the age of 50 and cultivate for a thousand years was born and gradually became deeply rooted in people's hearts. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, these settings matured. In the second chapter of Black Mythology: Wukong, there was a story of a scholar saving a little fox. This kind of setting was full of national charm. The appearance of the fox image carried a strong traditional memory, which was closely related to the long-term development and evolution of fox culture in China. Not satisfied with the game?

If the Black Myth Goku's animation was delayed, he could try the following solutions: 1. ** Network environment optimization **: Considering that the game server may be located in a remote area, network delay and instability may cause a lag. The network could be optimized using tools such as Oddity Acceleration Tools or Weird Acceleration Tools to reduce delays and stabilize the connection. 2. ** Adjusting CPU performance settings **: CPU performance will affect the game's smoothness. When the CPU load is too high or the configuration is not good, the game may be stuck. You can try to allocate system resources reasonably, turn off unnecessary background programs, or optimize system settings to reduce the burden on the CPU. 3. ** Use the frame count increase tool **: For example, Oddity's frame count increase tool can reduce the stuttering phenomenon by increasing the number of frames in the game. 4. ** Turn off irrelevant background programs **: The game is relatively large. When starting the game, avoid opening too many background programs to prevent them from taking up the computer's memory and causing a lag. 5. ** Upgrade computer configuration **: If the computer keeps crashing, it may be due to insufficient computer configuration. You can refer to the best configuration requirements of the game to upgrade. 6. ** Check the hard disk condition **: If the computer is equipped with enough hardware but still has a stutter, especially when the stutter is obvious in cutscenes, you can consider the hard disk problem.

In the ending animation of the third chapter of Black Myth Wukong, the first was a series of experiences of Huang Mei's lower realm, including reaching the surface of the sea after a storm and being carried up the mountain by fishermen. There were many details on the beach, such as poor onlookers, children with big stomachs that might be due to blood flukes or liver disease, malnutrition, flies in the room, etc. After being roasted by the fire, Huang Mei displayed a magical ability. He scraped open his body and poured out pearls and gold to lure the crowd. The crowd was initially curious but was later confused by him. The residents of the island had changed under Huang Mei's power. For example, the children had regained their spirits, the women had become beautiful, and he had even repaired the houses, summoned the wind and rain, but destroyed the fishing boats. After that, there were all kinds of rituals related to the sacrificial ceremony, such as activities on the beach, pearls might be used as currency, and officials were registering the situation of the villages to distribute wealth. However, in the process, the crowd was gradually controlled by their desires, and there was a chaotic scene of looting, including the looting and division of Huang Mei's body. The monk also lost control and began to pick up the jewelry. Finally, the village became desolate and dilapidated.

Black Myth: Wukong utilized the following technology: 1. ** Unreal Engine 5 (UE5)**: This was an advanced game development platform that was used for game development. UE5's real-time rendering and optimization features made the game's starting point high. Its groundbreaking Nanite technology could import ultra-high-quality models with hundreds of millions of contours, and it was optimized in real-time, rendering only visible details to improve rendering efficiency. Lumen's lighting and reflection system could adjust lighting and reflection in real-time according to changes in the scene. Realistic lighting effects could be achieved without pre-baking lightmaps. The improved shadow rendering technology provided softer and more realistic shadow effects through Virtual Shadow Map (VSM). 2. Chaos Physics Engine: This engine provides more realistic physics simulations and destructive effects, making the interaction between objects natural and believable. 3. ** Animation Tools **: For example, Control Rig, which controls the transformation of the mesh, and more efficient animation retargeting tools, which make the character animation smoother and more natural. 4. ** Computer graphics modeling methods **: including forward modeling (creating a model from scratch for the development of complex scenes), reverse engineering (converting real objects into virtual models through laser scanning and other technologies), and multi-view reconstruction (generating 3D models from multiple angles for the fine modeling of cultural heritage and large scenes). These methods can help solve related scenes and geometric modeling problems. Not satisfied with the game? You can read the novel related to Black Myth: Wukong to understand the exciting plot!
