  • Introducing the 2.4 Update Preheat for Tide Callers! Skills Analysis of 5-Star Dual-Form Swordsman Kartiya, Stunning Form Switching and Explosive Damage Output!

    Breathtaking Dual-Form Swordsman: Katheryne’s Ultimate Finale!
    With the long-awaited Genshin Impact 2.4 version approaching, a highly anticipated character is set to make a stunning debut! She is Katheryne, the dual-form swordsman who has captivated numerous players. This Anemo, the swift and agile swordswoman, presents a mesmerizing dance, offering an ultimate feast for both visuals and damage output!
    This five-star character shines like a brilliant star, exuding exceptional charm and unparalleled power. Her signature weapon, also named “Katheryne,” boasts impressive base attack and health bonuses, with a base attack of 413 and a health bonus reaching an impressive 77.0%.
    The one-star effect is equally thrilling: a 12% increase in health, ignoring 8% of the target’s defense after using a Normal Attack or an E ability, and dealing 20% more damage when the target’s Anemo effect exceeds one layer. These stats promise an extraordinary visual and damage spectacle!
    Her skill set is nothing short of perfection, a true masterpiece! In Katheryne form, Normal Attacks, Heavy Attacks, or Harmony Skills summon three distinct “Sword Shadows.” These shadows can be absorbed through Plunge Attacks, dealing varying additional damage based on the number of shadows absorbed. A true visual extravaganza of clashing blades!
    When Resonance Energy is fully charged, holding down the Elemental Burst transforms her into “Furudoris” form. Each absorbed “Sword Shadow” grants different enhancements: empowered Plunge Attacks, improved Elemental Burst, enhanced Heavy Attacks, temporary transformation back to Katheryne, and a powerful Elemental Burst: “Tidal Surge, Gale Blade.”
    To maximize Katheryne’s potential, follow this sequence:

    Enter with an E ability
    Perform four Normal Attacks followed by an E
    Use a Plunge Attack
    After Burst, continue Normal Attacks and E abilities
    When “Determination” reaches 120 points, unleash the Elemental Burst

    Her Normal Attacks are equally captivating:
    Normal Attack: Katheryne

    Performs up to four consecutive attacks dealing Anemo damage, considered as “Anemo effect” damage.
    The fourth attack adds two Anemo layers and summons the “Divine Sword Shadow.”

    Heavy Attack: Katheryne

    Consumes stamina to attack, dealing Anemo damage and adding two Anemo layers, summoning the “Authority Sword Shadow.”

    Aerial Attack: Katheryne

    Consumes stamina to attack, dealing Anemo damage, considered as “Anemo effect” damage.
    After an Aerial Attack, all “Sword Shadows” on the field are absorbed, enhancing Plunge Attack damage and range. Additionally, gains “Humanity’s Heart,” “Divine Intent,” and “Authority’s Power.”

    These skill combinations create a perfect blend of visuals and damage output! Are players eager to add this stunning dual-form swordsman to their roster? On the gacha journey, we’re sure to go further and embrace this ultimate performance!

  • Phoebe: The Debate of Light and Shadow, The Song of Time

    Phoebe: Seeking Eternal Echoes in the Interplay of Light and Shadow
    In a world where sound and light intertwine, Phoebe exists like an ethereal being, navigating between darkness and light with her unique aural instrument. Her presence is a profound interpretation of game mechanics and a ultimate challenge to the player’s mindset.
    When we gaze at Phoebe’s skill tree, it is like viewing a meticulously painted Jiangnan watercolor scroll. The two states, Absolution and Confession, resemble the yin and yang, restraining yet complementing each other. In Absolution, she is the pianist under moonlight, each note striking enemies with precision. In Confession, she is a mystic, planting seeds of diffracted weakness in enemies, which gnaw at their life like the gears of time.
    In an era obsessed with efficiency and optimization, Phoebe reminds us: the most beautiful damage isn’t always an instant kill, but a continuous, nurturing output over time, like spring rain. She rebels against impatience, embodying patience and the art of waiting.
    Choosing weapons for Phoebe is like selecting strings for a classical musician. Her exclusive weapon, Luminous Hymn, is like an ancient harp carrying echoes of centuries. Other alternatives like Stringmaster and Rime-Draped Sprouts are like different strings, each with unique tones. Each choice is an understanding of music and a reflection on life.
    In selecting resonances, Phoebe’s destiny is intertwined with the “This Light That Never Fades” set. Like destined lovers, their union is inevitable and perfect. The set’s effects witness time, silently enhancing her damage. Other alternatives are minor roles in this grand symphony.
    When discussing team composition, Phoebe’s world is a symphony. She needs kindred spirits to perfectly perform this life’s melody. Characters like Zanni, Drifting Echo, and Xiaokong are instruments in this symphony, each playing their part. Their roles are both a support for Phoebe and a deep understanding of game mechanics.
    In this fast-paced era, Phoebe reminds us: the most beautiful scenery isn’t always at the destination, but in the journey itself. When we invest in Phoebe, select her weapons, and form her team, we are not just nurturing a character’s growth but undergoing a spiritual cultivation.
    Phoebe’s world is a fable about light and shadow, time and space, existence and extinction. Her damage output mirrors our understanding of the game and life. In this ever-changing game world, Phoebe teaches us: sometimes, the deepest truths lie in the slowest processes.
    When we finally grasp Phoebe’s essence, we realize: the charm of games isn’t just in clearing waves of monsters, but in understanding the profound philosophies within. Phoebe is a guide in the virtual world, illuminating our path to the true essence of gaming.
    In this digital world, Phoebe is a beacon, lighting our way forward.

  • Gun Shadow Aria of the Summer Sky

    “Peerless Divine Skills·The Legend of Xia Kong”
    In this complex martial arts world, there are always some special beings, who soar lightly in the battle sky like a flower-picking order. Today, I will tell you the story of a female hero who terrifies the enemy-Xia Kong. She is a peerless master who combines beauty and wisdom. Although she is in the back row, she can make the enemy feel like a formidable enemy.
    Xia Kong’s life experience has always been a mystery. She was born in a hidden sect and learned light skills and qigong since she was a child. Her exclusive weapon is a mysterious sidearm, which is as fast as the wind and has unique moves. In her martial arts system, sub-C and auxiliary are her two unique skills. What she is best at is planting a special spell on the enemy-the art of wind erosion. This mysterious martial arts can make the enemy like a paper tiger, without any power to fight back. Her moves can not only make the enemy unable to resist, but also gather them together, allowing her partners to win easily like cutting tofu with a knife.
    For Xia Kong’s training, we must pay attention to the “heat”. We must make her various skills gradually break through, just like turning stone into gold. The first thing to break through is her famous skill – resonance liberation. This martial art is comparable to seeing the head of a dragon, and we have to try it. The second is her internal strength foundation – resonance circuit. This martial art is like a foundation and must be stable. Then there is her basic kung fu – ordinary attack. This kung fu is like walking. The more you do it normally, the more confident you will be in the future. Next is her special skill – resonance skill. This martial art is like the unpredictable clouds. Finally, her extended skill is like the finishing touch. Although it is rare, it can make the overall kung fu reach the pinnacle.
    For a master’s weapon, you must choose a superior weapon. Xia Kong’s powerful weapon is a magic gun called “Aria in the Forest”. This gun is like a natural singer who can fascinate the enemy. Its basic kung fu has reached the level of 500, like a master who is meticulous. Its special effects make the enemy terrified. When it applies the Wind Erosion Technique to the enemy, its own Qi will increase by 24 percentage points like spring breeze and rain, and last for ten breaths. When its attack hits the enemy’s vital point, the enemy’s resistance will shrink by 10 percentage points like a potato, and last for 20 breaths.
    In addition, there are several magic weapons that can be used as temporary substitutes. The gun of Stopping Smoke is like a profound internal practitioner. Its basic skills have reached the level of 588, and its special effects make its internal strength increase by 12.8 percentage points like the spring tide. When you perform a big trick, your partners’ attacks will increase by 10 percentage points like a spring breeze, and you can stack one layer continuously for fourteen breaths. The gun of Death and Dance is like a peerless killer. Its basic skills are 500, and its special effects make its special skills increase by 48 percentage points like a world-shaking, and last for five breaths.
    Among the four-star weapons, the Romance of Farewell is like an experienced veteran, with a basic skill of 463, and a special effect that increases its attack by eight percentage points, which lasts for ten breaths. The Paradox Jet is like an outsider.

    Ai Kefei Biography

  • Ice Blade Silkcock’s Martial Arts Heritage

    “Ice Blade: Silk’s Martial Arts Heritage”
    In the world of Genshin Impact, martial arts are like the vast starry sky, each with its own characteristics and power. The character Silk, who will be released in version 5.7, has created a shocking sword system with its unique combination of ice element and one-handed sword. This sword technique is not just a simple ice element damage, but also a martial arts inheritance that integrates the essence of the extremely evil sword technique. In this article, we will analyze the origin, weapons, skills and growth path of this ice element swordsman in detail.
    1. Silk’s character profile
    Silk is a five-star ice element one-handed sword character, and her bonus attribute is critical damage, with a base of 38.4%. This makes her more inclined to explosive high critical damage in terms of output. Her God’s Eye attribute is ice element, which, combined with her one-handed sword, makes her sense of rhythm and explosiveness in battle very attractive.
    2. Exclusive weapon: Cang Yao
    Every top martial artist has his own matching weapon, and Si Ke Ke’s exclusive weapon, Cang Yao, is the perfect partner for this set of swordsmanship. The basic attack power of this sword is 608, and it has a high critical hit rate of 33.1%. More importantly, this sword is endowed with the special ability of “Blessing of Baishan”. This ability will last for 12 seconds after casting the elemental combat skill, increasing the attack power by 24% per second. When the elemental energy of the wearer is 0, this effect will be superimposed with a 24% attack power increase and a 40% critical damage increase. This mechanism allows Si Ke Ke to burst out amazing output capabilities under certain conditions.
    3. Normal attack: Extremely evil skill·Broken
    Si Ke Ke’s normal attack is called “Extremely evil skill·Broken”, which is the foundation and core of her martial arts system. This set of attack methods includes several actions that best reflect the essence of the Extremely Evil Swordsmanship:

    Five-stage continuous attack: This is the basic form of the Extremely Evil Skill·Broken, which causes continuous damage output through the fastest speed and the simplest trajectory.

    Heavy attack: By consuming physical strength, Silkock will throw a spinning crystal spear. This attack not only causes damage to the enemy in front, but also is an important means for her to establish an attack rhythm.

    Falling attack: When falling in the air, Silkock will release an ice crystal shock wave to attack the enemies on the falling path and cause range damage when landing. This attack method maximizes the control of the air position.

    4. Elemental combat skills: Extremely evil skills·Flash
    Silkock’s elemental combat skills also continue the characteristics of the Extremely Evil Flow, which are divided into two forms: tap and long press:

    Tap: By tapping the skill, Silkock will gain 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning and switch to the Seven Phases Flash mode. In this mode, her swordsmanship will be more agile and deadly.

    Long press: In the case of long press, Silkock also gains 45 points of Serpent’s Cunning, but this time she will enter a state of continuous rapid movement. In this state, her ability to resist interruption is greatly improved, and she can end the rapid movement early by casting the skill again. This highly maneuverable fighting style is the essence of the Extreme Evil Swordsmanship.

    5. Elemental Burst: Extreme Evil Skill·Destruction
    Silkker’s elemental burst is called “Extreme Evil Skill·Destruction”, which is a special skill that does not rely on elemental energy but on the cunning of the snake. When Silkker accumulates at least 50 points of the cunning of the snake, she can cast this final

  • Treabar-Play Nintendo Switch for the first time with the original Genshin Impact through a emulator, translated into English.

    On October 11th, a netizen posted on a forum, revealing that players had successfully played “Genshin Impact” on a Nintendo Switch by installing an Android emulator. The news sparked widespread discussion. The poster stated that due to the slow rollout of “Genshin Impact” on the Nintendo Switch platform, players had to take a “roundabout” approach by using an Android emulator to experience the game. However, from publicly available information, while the emulator’s performance was relatively smooth, it still fell short of the performance of the most popular Android flagship smartphones this year.
    (Genshin Impact, a recent hit mobile game, is renowned for its unique art style and outstanding visual effects, and has garnered global acclaim. In addition to its popularity on mobile platforms, “Genshin Impact” has also been released on PC, PS4, and PS5, offering players more options. However, the development company, miHoYo, promised early on that “Genshin Impact” would be released on multiple mainstream gaming platforms, including PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, but the actual development progress has been extremely slow, which has caused some players to feel impatient.)
    A recent leak shows that a dedicated player has managed to “embrace” the mobile version of “Genshin Impact” on a Nintendo Switch by breaking into the platform. From publicly available information, while the performance is not exceptional, it represents a notable advancement. In fact, “Genshin Impact” has been in development for two years, and in its initial release, miHoYo promised to bring the game to the Nintendo Switch platform, but the news never materialized. This delay could be due to development issues, but it is also possible that Nintendo had certain requirements that made it difficult for miHoYo to fully optimize the game for the Nintendo Switch.
    Given this reality, it is unlikely that “Genshin Impact” will make significant progress on the Nintendo Switch platform in the short term. Nintendo is not a company that excels in performance, but rather relies on its strong game IPs and creative designs to attract players. Whether “Genshin Impact” will be released on the Nintendo Switch platform may not be a priority for Nintendo, but the players who have been eagerly waiting for it will bear the brunt of the disappointment.

  • Emotions and loss are intertwined, and the lost years flow in constant silence

    In those years, I always believed that I had infinite patience and understanding for life, and I firmly believed that I could accommodate all the light and shadow of the world. I also always believed that the relationship between people can be maintained by a tiny emotional bond, and that a little effort and time can be used to melt the barriers and move towards spiritual contact. However, fate always seems to like to play jokes, and finally made me realize that many things are holes that can never be filled, and those times that were once easily crossed will eventually become so far away.

    At that time, I often walked alone on the streets of this city, with all kinds of thoughts in my heart. The lights of the city kept flashing, and I could vaguely see the hurried footsteps of pedestrians on the street. Occasionally, when I found a familiar face in the corner, an inexplicable sense of familiarity would surge in my heart. However, I know that the distance between people is much longer than I imagined.

    At that time, I had a beautiful love affair. We met in a spring, when everything was revived, and there was a slight fragrance of flowers in the air. Her name is Lin Lin, and I didn’t feel anything special at first. It was only when I looked back at her inadvertently again and again that I found that her figure was always swaying in front of my eyes, like a gentle bird, always gently passing through my sight, but never deliberately. Her eyes are deep, as if she can see through everything, but she always reveals a sense of indifference, as if her world is separated from me by a thick layer of glass, untouchable.

    She speaks very little, and every time we meet, there is always a bit of silence in her eyes, but there is a gentleness that I can’t resist. She is not like those talkative girls, who don’t like to express their emotions with words, but prefer to use a silent companionship, as if two people together don’t need too many words. What she brings to me is an indescribable peace, as if she is an existence that can never be touched, both close and distant.

    We began to have more and more contacts, occasionally walking in the park in the evening, and occasionally sitting in a cafe in a quiet afternoon. Her existence makes me feel at ease, as if she is the important part of my life and the warmth I am pursuing. However, just as I was immersed in the warmth of this emotion, I began to feel a little uneasy. This uneasiness did not come from the outside world, but from her eyes, or rather, from the close yet distant relationship between her and me.

    Her eyes were always cold, and occasionally she would talk about some unimportant topics, but I always felt that there was some elusive silence hidden in her words. I gradually understood that it was not that she had no emotions, but that she buried all her emotions deep in her heart and did not let anyone touch them. I thought that if she could open her heart to me, I would definitely understand her loneliness and pain, but she never gave me this opportunity.

    Sometimes, I would see a deep fatigue in her eyes, as if she had carried too much of the past, and the past that I had never approached had long become an untouchable scar for her. I know that she has never completely let go of the pain she had in the past, and she just tried her best to keep a seemingly stable life for herself in this world. She didn’t want me to be a witness to her past pain, because she was afraid that once she started to talk, all the pain and memories would burst out.

    My love for her began to become complicated. It was not like the pure love I had when I was young, but mixed with sympathy for her, awe of her deep heart, and even helplessness of her indifference. It was not that she did not love me, but she was afraid to give herself to anyone, afraid that once she gave herself, she would be abandoned at some point in the future. She had experienced too much pain, so much pain that she had to build a thick wall to protect herself tightly.

    What I wanted to give her was a kind of comfort and protection, but she didn’t seem to need it. She put me on the edge of her life and never let me really enter her world. Every time I tried to get close, she flew away alertly like a wounded bird. My heart gradually became heavy, because I knew that I could not change her heart, nor could I break her insurmountable solid defense line.

    In the end, we still separated. That summer, with some regrets and unfinished emotions, we each went in different directions. I no longer took the initiative to contact her, and she did not reply to me. We were like two stars that met but were destined to miss each other, passing by each other, but could never meet again.

    Sometimes, I think of her and the quiet time we spent together. Her eyes and her smile have become the softest part of my memory. She gave me an emotion that cannot be expressed in words, but made this relationship so far away. I can’t blame her. After all, there is an untouchable place in everyone’s heart. I may never be able to enter her world and truly understand her pain and hurt.

    This relationship eventually became a blank in my heart that can never be filled. Whenever I think of her, there will be an unspeakable loss in my heart, as if the love that has never been obtained is always lingering in my heart and cannot be let go. In this life, perhaps some people are destined to be passers-by, and we can only quietly miss and linger in the endless years.

  • Discussing the dual shackles of virtuality and reality in modern society from the acquisition of Xiakong materials

    Speaking of what games young people play today, some people may think that this is just a boring pastime, or even an absurd act of escaping reality. However, when we take a closer look at the various materials required for the five-star resonator “Xiakong” in the game called “Mingchao”, we will find that there are hidden worries of an era and the shadow of modern society.

    “Xiakong” needs to break through, first of all, it must have “low-frequency tidal eclipse sail core”, “medium-frequency tidal eclipse sail core”, “high-frequency tidal eclipse sail core”, and then “full-frequency tidal eclipse sail core”. Listening to this name, although it is full of technological sense, it is essentially just a game symbol stacking virtual numbers. Not to mention those strange “burning phosphorus bones”, “golden wool”, “containing impure crystal phlogiston”, all kinds of names are full of mysterious mystery, as if to let players gain some sacred power in the virtual world.

    But if you think about it carefully, the way to obtain these virtual materials just reflects the cruelty of real life: if you want to get the “Burning Phosphorus Bone”, you must fight desperately with the “Sighing Ancient Dragon”; if you want to get the “Golden Fleece”, you have to search everywhere in the game, and even limit yourself to buying 15 per week; if you want to “contain impure crystals and phlogiston”, you have to participate in limited activities – this difficulty is not like easy fun, but more like real labor.

    How ironic is this? Real life is already tiring enough, and these young people are “working” again in the virtual world for the seemingly glamorous “Xiakong” role. Behind it is the invisible consumption of time and the virtual satisfaction bought with money; and this virtual satisfaction reflects the helplessness and difficulties of many people in real life. In other words, the game is nothing more than a reflection of reality, a substitute and compensation for all kinds of dissatisfaction in reality.

    What’s even more ridiculous is that for these materials, players have to “recharge” frequently in order to quickly obtain resources. The 22% discount on Treabar.com makes recharging seem cost-effective, but in fact it tempts people into a trap of constantly spending money. As digital currency circulates, many players have unknowingly become gears in the capital machine. Under the illusion of economic independence, capital exploits young people’s time and emotions.

    The growth of “Xiakong” depends on this endless accumulation and recharge, just as countless young people in reality are forced to work hard and work overtime in exchange for a little unstable “success” and “recognition”. Virtual characters are very similar to the ideal self in reality, which is a vision that cannot be easily realized. Therefore, people are willing to devote themselves to this virtual labor in order to get a little comfort.

    However, this virtual satisfaction does not really solve the problem. On the contrary, it makes people more and more lost. Real life is thrown behind and becomes a mechanical process of continuous recharge, monster swiping, and collection. Games have become an anesthetic for modern society, not an antidote.

    On a deeper level, the acquisition rules, storage channels, and reward mechanisms behind the game materials all reflect the inequality of power and resource distribution in modern society. The seemingly mysterious names of “Ancient Dragon of Sighs”, “Lina Xi Tower”, and “Wheel of Fate” in the game are actually metaphors of the system and insurmountable barriers. Only a few people can break through quickly, while the vast majority can only consume their energy and money.

    Behind these numbers is a contest of time, money, and energy, and a reflection of the virtual economy on the real social order. Young people are addicted to the cultivation of “Xiakong”, which is nothing more than trying to find a sense of control and self-realization in this game.

    However, when they look up from the screen, they are still greeted by the cold reality. The virtual growth of the game cannot replace the change of reality. As Mr. Lu Xun said: “Hope is attached to existence. If there is existence, there is hope. If there is hope, there is light.” But when hope is only placed in the virtual world, how real is that light?

    Therefore, we have to reflect: Why does contemporary society allow young people to only find identity and power in the virtual world? Does the lack of education, economy, and culture make them nowhere to tell and nowhere to realize? If these problems are not faced squarely, the game will eventually become an illusion that makes people lose themselves, rather than a real paradise.

    The list of materials for “Xiakong” may be just a detail of game design, but it inadvertently exposes the various difficulties of modern society. Only by understanding the social reality behind this can we truly help young people break free from the double shackles of virtuality and reality and embrace a more real and dignified future.

  • The struggle of human nature and the impermanence of fate can be seen from the complexity of the characters of Mingchao Xiakong

    Speaking of the game “Mingchao”, Xiakong’s material requirements are so complicated that it is outrageous. Players run around in various dungeons every day, picking up various low-frequency and high-frequency tide erosion sail cores, snatching the rare burning phosphorus bones, as if they are trapped in an endless cycle. It seems to be just the cultivation of the virtual world, but it is very much like the days we live, the endless struggle, and the future that can never be grasped.

    There are many types of materials in the game, which are progressive, just like the level test in life. Low frequency, medium frequency, high frequency, full frequency, these layers of divisions are like people accumulating experience and suffering setbacks day by day, and they are eager to transform into a better self. But this road is not easy. Not only are the materials rare, but they are also limited in purchase and quantity. If you want to improve quickly, you must invest a lot of time and energy.

    This reminds me of the suffering and labor day after day. We are all running for survival, as if the players in the game can never be satisfied with the status quo and are always bound by various materials. The so-called “Golden Fleece” sounds like a sacred and inviolable treasure, but you can only buy a little bit every week, and the restrictions are so many that it drives people crazy. This “limited” is a reflection of reality, a limitation of life, and a cruel contest between dreams and reality.

    Even more heartbreaking are those special weapon materials, such as the design of shackles. Shackles, this word is a symbol of chains in reality, symbolizing bondage. But the game designer actually used it to represent the key props for upgrading weapons, as if to tell us that if we want to be strong, we must first accept bondage. It’s very similar to people’s lives. They want to be free, but they are firmly locked by invisible responsibilities, pressures, and systems, and have nowhere to go.

    And those crystallized phlogists, from the roughest to the purest, upgrade layer by layer, which reminds me of the purification and suffering of life. Players keep brushing in the “Condensate Field·Confession Abyss” copy, as if they are confessing and trying to purify their souls. However, in reality, how many people can really get rid of the filth in their hearts? We use work and busyness to cover up anxiety and confusion, but we can never be completely free.

    “Iris Blooms Day”, this name is poetic, but it can only be obtained through the “Wheel of Fate” challenge, which has a profound meaning. No one can escape the cycle of fate. Failure, setbacks, and rebirth, like the weekly challenges in the game, are always repeated and always bring tests. We are all struggling in the cycle of life, like irises, trying to bloom in the wind and rain.

    The recharge system and discount code are undoubtedly the embodiment of game business and the epitome of consumption and value in real life. In order to get better equipment, players have to pay real money. Isn’t this a microcosm of modern society? People work hard and invest more time and money for a better life, but their sense of happiness seems to be getting less and less. The payment mechanism in the game is very similar to the class barriers in reality, which restricts people’s freedom and choice.

    There is also the “Stuffed Meat Tofu” prop, a tool to improve the efficiency of material drops. It seems insignificant, but it makes people feel anxious and anxious. Players want to grow faster and save time and effort, which is like our pursuit of efficiency in reality. The fast-paced life makes people exhausted, and efficiency becomes the only life-saving straw. However, true freedom is getting farther and farther away.

    Xiakong’s material system is the soul of the game and a reflection of the spiritual dilemma of modern people. We struggle to pursue growth in the virtual world, just as countless people in reality are forced to move forward every day by life. The rules of the game and the laws of reality echo each other, revealing a deep thinking about freedom, growth, and destiny.

    Players seek a sense of accomplishment and happiness in the game, but they also have to face fatigue and loss. The boundary between life and games is blurred, and struggle and hope are intertwined, making people feel both painful and warm.

    This may be the charm of “Mingchao” and Xiakong. It is not only a game, but also a mirror, reflecting our complex hearts and the self who struggles but does not give up. May we all find our own blooming iris in this endless challenge, and face it with a smile even if our fate is unfortunate.

  • Feng Jin’s lonely struggle on the road of growth and the ruthless sigh of fate

    Her name is Feng Jin, a woman who will slowly appear on the Star Dome Railway. Her story is like a cup of light bitter wine, bitter at first, but endless aftertaste. The road of growth is full of unspeakable loneliness and helplessness. Those so-called “fear crushing flesh and blood” and “courage tearing the chest” are all scars torn out by life in cruelty, coldly telling how a woman struggles and endures in the storm of fate.

    Fear is the most ruthless slavery, it ravages her body and tortures her soul. Those “fear crushing flesh and blood” seem to be the hardships imposed on her by life, and the shadows that she dare not face in countless nights. Her flesh and blood were trampled, but no one saw her tears. Only she herself knows the silent pain. She is not a fearless hero, but just a small life shivering in the storm.

    And “courage tearing the chest” is the only resistance she can grasp. It was like an invisible knife, cutting her heart, but it also allowed her to breathe and continue to live. Her courage was not a loud shout, but a faint fire hidden in the most secret place. Although small, it was enough to resist the long night. She used this courage to support the heart that had been worn out by life.

    “Glory baptizes the body”, these three words are a bit sarcastic. Those so-called glory are just to let her learn to disguise and find a sense of existence in the eyes of others. Her body was baptized by glory, but she didn’t know whether it was dazzling or more pale and powerless. People always like to see the bright surface, but don’t understand the efforts and tears behind it.

    On the road to growth, she needs “the seeds of thinking”, “the sprouts of manas” and “the Alayahua”. These names sound beautiful, as if they came from distant poems. In fact, these are just the crystallization of her delicate thinking, and the spiritual sustenance she condensed with pain and loneliness. She keeps looking for the reason for her existence in these seeds, and she will hold on to even the faintest hope.

    “The sound of the same wish” and “the footprints of fate” are her past, the silent sighs and the inseparable emotions. Those footprints are sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, like the shadows and memories that cannot be erased in her heart. Fate always ruthlessly weaves an invisible net to trap her tightly. Every step she takes is destined to go on this starry railway alone and strongly.

    These growth materials are not just cold data in the game, but also the epitome of the voices of countless women who are oppressed by life and played by fate. Like Feng Jin, they have learned to be strong in countless hardships and learn to piece together their incomplete selves with courage. Her story makes people sigh at the desolation and helplessness of life, as well as the faint hope.

    Perhaps, it is precisely because of Feng Jin’s pain and struggle that she seems real and moving. Those “fear”, “courage” and “glory” interweave into her lifeline, outlining the outline of how a woman stands tall in the wind and rain. She is not a hero, nor does she have a righteous spirit, but only a fragile but stubborn heart.

    And this heart, on that starry railway, quietly waits for her dawn. Her light cone “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever” is very much like that unattainable dream, which is her persistent belief in freedom and the future. It will guide her through the darkness and towards the light. Although the road is full of thorns, it still retains tenderness and hope.

    Feng Jin’s story is a narrative about loneliness and courage, and a silent resistance to the ruthlessness of fate. Her growth is a microcosm of millions of people who have been knocked down by reality. She tells us with her tenacity: Even in the darkest corners, we can find light, even if it is weak, it is enough to light up the entire sky.
