#mortalkombat1game #Neatherealmstudios The scene switches to Earthrealm, with the first chapter focusing on Kung Lao and Raiden, who are simple farmhands and martial artists living in a remote village in Fengjian Province. Within this village is Madam Bo, whose teahouse the pair like to visit frequently. During this visit, however, Madam Bo is assailed by the Lin Kuei, who are looking to extort her. One of the Lin Kuei warriors, Smoke, attacks Madam Bo and knocks her out. Lao and Raiden fight him in retaliation as they come to Madam Bo's aid. After defeating most of the Lin Kuei, the pair are then challenged by Sub-Zero and Scorpion. Lao becomes inspired by the use of his hat and a throwing blade as a weapon, and he and Raiden ultimately defeat the Lin Kuei warriors. Afterwards, Lord Liu Kang, God of Fire and Protector of Earthrealm, appears and introduces himself, revealing that the Lin Kuei were working for him, and that this was actually a test of their abilities. He invites them to join the Wu Shi Academy and, after some initial reluctance, the two agree, although Liu Kang reveals that there are others he must gather as well.
