Elliot Maldonado, an avid fan of the game from the United States, followed the game's map in real life, visiting Xiaoxitian, Fencheng Ancient Town and Shuanglin Temple. This journey allowed him to experience the vibrant history and culture of China firsthand. He realized that there are other heroes apart from the Monkey King - those who quietly guard these ancient structures against time.
