Genshin Impact, a game that miHoYo has devoted all its efforts to, has quickly become one of the most popular card-drawing games on mobile platforms, consoles and PCs since its release. It has not only won the love of countless players with its unique charm, but also brought staggering development costs. Two years later, Genshin Impact has become the most expensive game ever, and miHoYo has invested about $500 million in the continued development of the game.
Before the release of Genshin Impact on September 28, 2020, the budget was only $100 million. However, this number has risen rapidly over time. In 2021, miHoYo announced that it would increase the annual budget of Genshin Impact from the initial $100 million to $200 million. If this budget is implemented, the total development cost of Genshin Impact will exceed $500 million by September 2022.
Currently, the game with the highest development cost, Star Citizen, tops the list with a development cost of more than $400 million, followed by Cyberpunk 2077, which has a development cost of $316 million. It can be seen that Genshin Impact will become the most expensive game ever by the end of 2023.
The success of “Genshin Impact” is inseparable from its continuous updates and innovations. It not only adds a large number of new characters and in-game events, but also brings players immersive experiences in different regions, such as Liyue and Inazuma. Server maintenance and studio expansion are also indispensable. Although the annual total revenue of “Genshin Impact” exceeds 3 billion US dollars, miHoYo has successfully attracted players’ continued investment and achieved considerable returns by continuously updating the game content.
The success of Genshin Impact proves that by constantly updating and adding new content, it can effectively attract players’ attention and investment, and further promote the development of the game. The launch of “Genshin Impact” version 3.0 will undoubtedly bring it more benefits.

120 FPS smooth running! Genshin Impact lands on Hongmeng, opening a new battle between Android and iOS
In the symphony of technology and art, a long-awaited feast is about to begin. Mihoyo officially announced that the recruitment test of the Hongmeng version of “Genshin Impact” will officially start at 12 noon today. This is not only an important attempt in the gaming industry, but also a big step forward for the entire technology ecosystem.
This recruitment test is mainly aimed at paving the way for the adaptation of subsequent versions of the Hongmeng system. Since the launch of the Hongmeng ecosystem last year, many gamers have been looking forward to this popular game being able to land on the Hongmeng platform. Especially when many popular games under Tencent have been launched, the addition of “Genshin Impact” will undoubtedly add a touch of color to the Hongmeng ecosystem, like icing on the cake, making the entire ecosystem more complete.
It is worth noting that most of the content of this test version is still under adjustment. The development team will continue to optimize according to the feedback of players in order to be fully prepared for the official launch. At the same time, all players participating in the test are required to sign a confidentiality agreement, which is not only to avoid affecting the experience of the official version, but also to prevent misunderstandings that may be caused by information leakage.
In terms of specific supported models, according to official news from Miyoushe, the currently supported straight-screen models include Huawei Pura 80 series, nova14 series and Huawei Mate 70 series, while the folding screen supports models such as Huawei Mate X6. The recruitment period is from 12:00 noon on June 27 to 2:00 p.m. on July 4. Interested players can participate in the test by filling out a questionnaire.
As a 3D mobile game with extremely high requirements for mobile phone performance, “Genshin Impact” is often used as a benchmark for testing the performance of flagship mobile phones. The launch of the Hongmeng version test not only means an improvement in performance experience, ecological adaptation and user rights for Hongmeng users, but also symbolizes a further breakthrough in technological innovation.
From the performance point of view, native Hongmeng applications can significantly reduce system overhead and improve frame rate stability, especially on high-end models, and are expected to achieve high frame rate support of 120FPS. In terms of battery life, thanks to the special optimization of CPU/GPU, the heating problem has been effectively improved.
In terms of ecological adaptation, at the Huawei press conference in May this year, Mr. He revealed that the Hongmeng 5 system has been updated with dozens of versions, hundreds of new system-level functions, and applications are being launched every day. If “Genshin Impact” can be successfully adapted, with the help of Hongmeng’s “multi-device collaboration” feature, seamless switching of game progress between mobile phones, tablets, and computers will no longer be a dream in the future. You can also connect to the screen through the smart screen and enjoy the game on the super large screen, bringing a more comfortable experience.
In addition, this move has important strategic significance for the Hongmeng ecosystem. The adaptation of the head game will indirectly prove the ability of the Hongmeng system to carry large-scale 3D games, which will surely attract more manufacturers to follow up and accelerate the process of “de-Androidization”. Huawei plans to complete the Hongmeng native adaptation of the Top 500 applications by 2027. The successful landing of “Genshin Impact” will directly meet the core needs of game users.
It can be said that the adaptation of “Genshin Impact” is a big step towards the maturity of the Hongmeng ecosystem. We look forward to more classic games such as “Golden Shovel”, “League of Legends”, “QQ Speed” and so on to land on the Hongmeng platform as soon as possible to bring more exciting experiences to players. As a player holding a Huawei Pura 70 Ultra said: “The long-awaited game is finally here, and the future development of the Hongmeng gaming ecosystem is full of expectations.”
In short, although the current performance is still in the debugging stage, the Hongmeng gaming ecosystem will surely develop over time. -
Counting the journey of collecting Xiakong’s materials and the loneliness in the world of Mingchao
The arrival of Xiakong is like a cool summer breeze, quietly blowing into the game world of Mingchao, which is full of unknowns and miracles. Her growth path is like a long and delicate journey, full of fragmented waiting and sudden surprises. Players have to cultivate her from scratch to the peak. The materials required are not only a pile of numbers, but also a secret journey of self-cultivation.
From low-frequency eclipse sail core to full-frequency eclipse sail core, they are like four different tones of music, slowly ringing in your ears. Each frequency carries different emotions: low frequency is like a steady whisper, mid-frequency is a little anxious, high frequency is sharp and uneasy, and full frequency is a kind of comprehensive harmony and complexity. Collecting these materials is not just a simple way to defeat monsters or complete tasks, but a process of your continuous ups and downs in this virtual ocean.
Burning Phosphorus Bone, such a name sounds with a burning breath, which was obtained from the sighing ancient dragon. It is a powerful monster. Legend has it that its sighs contain the secrets of the world. It takes time, skill, and patience to defeat it. You will feel frustrated after one failure after another, but when you finally obtain the Burning Phosphorus Bone, the joy and sense of accomplishment are pure and profound. It is very similar to those insurmountable obstacles in real life. Every victory makes people know how to cherish themselves more.
And “Golden Fleece” is not just a game material. Its name itself carries the color of fairy tales and myths. It reminds people of the journey of finding their ideal. Everyone has a golden fleece in their hearts, which is the dream they want to catch. You can collect it in Lina Xi Tower or buy it with shells in Laguna City, but you can only buy fifteen per week. This restriction makes it particularly precious. This scarcity is very similar to those fleeting opportunities in life, which makes people both look forward to and worry.
The cultivation of special weapons requires various levels of shackles and crystallized phlogistons, which are like the perceptions of different stages of life. Impure crystallized phlogiston, crude crystallized phlogiston, distilled crystallized phlogiston, high-purity crystallized phlogiston – these names themselves carry the meaning of alchemy, as if you are constantly filtering and purifying yourself. Every time you challenge the dungeon “Condensate Field·Confession Abyss”, you are like fighting the fog in your heart, constantly clearing the mess and confusion to make yourself purer.
Xiakong’s resonance circuit especially requires “Iris Blooming Day”, a precious material that can only be obtained by challenging the “Wheel of Fate Fragment” every week. The blooming of irises has a short but gorgeous beauty, which symbolizes the fleeting moments of happiness in life. Completing this challenge seems to be more than just getting rewards in the game, it is more like telling players to learn to cherish those moments of brilliance.
There is also a special food in the game – stuffed meat tofu, which can increase the drop rate of materials. It is like a warm little happiness on the journey, making you feel that although the road is long and difficult, there are always some small lucks to accompany you. You will find that this small help is actually very precious, and it is they that make up the warmth and texture of the entire journey.
The recharge discount is provided by the Treabar platform. The additional 3% discount code “Treabarblog3ge” allows players to play the game in a more cost-effective way. This interweaving of money in reality and growth in the virtual world reflects the complex relationship of modern game business. Players use real money to exchange for virtual growth and happiness, and it seems that the boundary between reality and fantasy is gradually blurring.
All these material collections, all the challenges and waiting seem to remind us that everyone’s growth is not easy. It requires accumulation, persistence, and the need to know how to cherish the little beauty in the process. Perhaps, Xiakong is not only a character in the game, but also a symbol of our inner desire and pursuit.
In the ocean of Mingchao, we are all travelers, drifting, searching, lost and cheering up again. Xiakong’s material collection road is a metaphor for the journey of life. I hope that every player can find his own story and feelings in it, like the clear summer sky, clear, pure, but deep and infinite.

Between the flames and the popcorn, she uses the pot to open a more sunny attitude towards life
Ju Fufu, this name sounds so cute that people want to buy a can of orange peel-flavored sparkling water immediately – but if you think about it carefully, you feel that she is really not a pushover. She carries a “popcorn pot” and shuttles between the war and the heat, making popcorn in the flames. You may ask: What is the use of this pot? Fufu tells you: a pot with heat is called life.
1. The popcorn in the pot is the heat that life should have
Ju Fufu’s normal attack is a set of four-stage combo. You can think of it as the first sip of ice cola after four glasses of cold boiled water: cool and accurate heavy attacks. The first three stages suddenly give you a local electric shock, and the fourth stage calmly adds a knife, like the sarcasm with a smile in Han Han’s novel, and like the last stage of advancement after three difficult roads in life. The best part is that you can connect to the fourth part during the third combo. This reminds me that sometimes if you can take one more step, say one more word, or work harder in life, it will be your fourth part, which often determines success or failure.2. Dodging is not running away, but the control of the rhythm of life
Many people regard dodging as a problem of avoiding reality, but Fu Fu’s dodging is much more advanced than this: tapping is an invincible dodge, tapping again during a sprint is a slash, and long pressing can also enter “high-speed rotation”. She made a circle before the pain came, which was to turn her fate around. This design is like saying “Don’t be tough, turn around and then explode.” Reality tells us that some roads are boring to walk hard, and turning around can often open up a new and smooth road.3. “Hot Spin”: Sometimes life has to go around
Fu Fu is like a ignited spinning top under “hot spin”. Do you think she will be afraid at the moment before the explosion? She accumulated the heat to 100 and spun around in the pot, as if telling herself and us: “I am spinning, but I am not crazy, I am brewing.” This is like Han Han’s novel style: seemingly calm, but actually implied enthusiasm. The path is winding until it becomes an explosion. At the moment of “opening the pot”, even her partners can benefit from it. She turns her heat into a bonus for the team.4. Special skills and joint skills: pretending to be cool also requires warmth
Fu Fu’s “special skill” is that the pot flies out with a knife, which is like a non-mainstream self-expression in adolescence. But she is not a battle maniac, but turns the killing into heat. The enhanced version directly brings damage-free heat, and she just wants to warm the world. This design reminds me: many people have trained their skills, not to illuminate themselves, but to benefit others from the heat.And the “joint skill” is more interesting: the pot will automatically open when the heat is 100 points, and a “pursuit support” will be given to teammates. Isn’t this the rhythm of “friendship first, teammates second, and pot brother third”. Look at Han Han’s sentence: Some brothers are like spare trekking poles, which are not often used, but once they are used, you will find that there is warmth in numbers.
5. Final move: Two-stage slash is not a show of skill, but a farewell
Her final move requires extreme heat value, and she slashes twice in one breath. Each stage has flames, heat, and invincibility. This setting is very much like the final explosion of life: first, cut off the old pain, and the second strike is to welcome the new life. You stand in the air, and at that moment you are in a “flying posture”, and you are considered to have landed when you slash down. The big things in reality are probably like this-no one will only give you one knife, and you have to cut twice, both accurately, before you can look back with a smile.6. Key support skills: soft and hard at critical moments
The so-called support, parry, and combo are all team configurations-you can’t foresee who will help, but Fu Fu always appears at the first time. Unlike Han Han’s sentence “It’s a pity that many people don’t turn around when no one hands them an umbrella”, she is a person who will turn back. Even the passive opportunity is left until others are injured. She is the busiest, but she still comes. This personality deserves praise: in life big and small, you are willing to be a bricklayer, and you are a real hero.7. Core Skills: Even if you are not there, you can leave fire for others
What is more down-to-earth is her passive: the pot automatically attacks, triggers the combo skill to send heat, and then buffs the team. Isn’t this the sense of achievement that excellent employees in reality have when they are not at their workstations? When you leave the battlefield, the pot automatically carries the battle, and your heat becomes the team’s benefit. This setting is very similar to the ability of “seeing good results even when you are not there”, and that kind of power is the most reassuring.8. Growth Mechanism: Heat is the most core practice
In the imagery film, M1 to M6 are upgraded one by one. Entering the battle with full heat, heat recovery after combo, skill level +2, fourth attack wound effect… This is a long growth. It is not to wake up suddenly overnight and become a great god, but to accumulate experience day by day, improve skills, and finally play a complete set of operations. The reality is the same. The truly powerful people are not the masters of showmanship, but the kind of people who can play “daily trivia” to proficiency and heat up.It is this pot, which has slowly become the focus from a “rusty pot” at the beginning, trusted, needed, and passed on as the core resource of the team – and this is the true meaning of life.
IX. Summary: Pot is attitude, heat is confidence
Ju Fufu uses the pot to block the wind and uses fire to fight the enemy, but uses the pot to convey warmth. She tells us: Don’t be passive by the environment, make a pot by yourself, start a fire by yourself, and let the heat become confidence. She is not going to conquer the world, but to conquer the present with heat. Reality is too cold? Then be your “popcorn pot girl”, light a pot, warm yourself up first, and then illuminate others. -
Behind the development materials of Feng Jin’s character, the complexity of the times and human nature is reflected
Feng Jin, the upcoming character of Star Dome Railway, seems to be not just a setting in the game, but a microcosm of the impetuous era in reality. Her growth materials, seemingly cold numbers and names, deeply reflect the struggle of human nature and the absurdity of the times.
First, we see the words “fear crushes flesh and blood”, which pierce people’s hearts like a knife. How many people in real life are swallowed by invisible fear and lose their freedom and dignity. This fear is not fictional, but a true portrayal of social oppression and spiritual shackles. Feng Jin’s growth is to struggle in such a cruel reality and try to break free from the shackles.
“Courage tears the chest”, this sentence is also quite ironic. Courage is often given a glorious coat, but in the face of real suffering, it is just a synonym for pain. The chest is torn, which is a torture to the heart and a painful struggle of the spirit. Feng Jin’s growth is no longer a fairy tale, but a bloody war, the difficulty of finding light in the darkness.
And “glory baptism body” is more like a symbol of irony. In reality, glory is often tainted by power and interests, and few people can see the real baptism. Feng Jin’s growth process reflects the absurdity of countless people swinging between disguise and reality and pursuing false reputation. Her exclusive light cone “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever” seems to mock the unattainable ideal, and this light is just an illusory mirage.
The “seeds of thinking”, “manas sprouts” and “alayahua” she needs are just boring materials endowed with mysterious colors. They symbolize those details that are ignored by the world, those ordinary but difficult efforts. Feng Jin’s growth is not achieved overnight, but a long and cruel process, and every step is full of realistic tempering.
Her travel materials, such as “the sound of the same wish”, “the footprints of fate”, and “travel experience”, seem to tell the ruthlessness of fate and the heaviness of life. People are often driven by ideals, but reality disappoints people again and again, and the trajectory of fate is always full of thorns. Feng Jin’s story reminds us that the so-called growth is nothing more than a process of struggling to survive after being trampled by society again and again.
Behind these development materials are the hard work of countless players who spend time and money, and game manufacturers also seek profits in it. This cycle is just like the current situation in which countless people in society work but cannot change their fate. Feng Jin’s growth is, to some extent, a metaphor of reality and a profound reflection on this era.
Star Dome Railway, this fictional world, reflects the complexity and cruelty of real society. Feng Jin’s story is not a simple character development, but a profound analysis of human nature and society. Every step of her growth is a struggle, a desire for freedom and dignity, and a cry for a bright future.
In short, Feng Jin’s material list is a mirror that reflects the darkness of the times and the complexity of human nature. She teaches us to persist in confusion and move forward in pain. Although the road ahead is long, we still cannot give up the right to struggle. The reality behind the game is worth everyone’s deep thought.

All of us are drifting in the storm of fate, and the only thing we can do is to hold on to the end
For most people, the world is an unpredictable storm. No matter how hard you try, fate always seems to be unpredictable. In these stormy years, everyone is struggling and drifting, and I, Ju Fufu, am still sailing carefully in this storm.
When I was young, I often felt that life was like a floating cloud, drifting aimlessly, as if to be blown away by the wind. However, gradually, I realized that life is not endless drifting, and the fate of each of us has actually been quietly engraved on the scale of time. What we can do is not to resist the arrangement of fate, but to learn how to keep balance in the storm, and how to keep moving forward in the darkest moments.
The battle between fate and courage
From the moment I was born, I was destined to compete with fate. Everyone longs to live a bright life and longs to be the dazzling existence in the eyes of others. And I, Ju Fufu, have been like this. However, life has never given me too many gifts. When I was a child, I was not outstanding. My classmates were all in the limelight, but I was always the unknown one. In the eyes of others, I might be the unnoticed shadow, gone with the wind.But I never got discouraged. Because I always understood that the arrangement of fate cannot be controlled. All we can do is accept it. Accept failure, accept pain, and accept the seemingly unfair world. I began to try to find myself and my own place in these imperfect lives. Maybe I am not as glamorous as others, but I can still find my own direction in this indifferent world.
A person’s true strength comes from inner peace and firmness
I learned to be independent, to face my weaknesses, and to change through my own efforts. Gradually, I found that no matter how many challenges and difficulties I encountered, I could deal with them calmly. Fate gave me many tests, but it did not intend to let me give in.
I understand a truth: true strength is not how many external advantages you have, but an unshakable heart. When the world changes madly, you can truly master your life if you keep your heart calm. Every time I encounter setbacks, I tell myself: “This is just part of fate, I can get through it.”
We often lose confidence in life, especially when you see others succeed easily, while you have to endure endless hardships. But if you can stand up from failure and learn to embrace those moments of falling, you will find that these experiences that once made you painful are actually shaping a stronger self for you.
Reconcile with yourself and compromise with the world
Ju Fufu’s heart was once full of contradictions. I often think about it countless nights: “Why do I work so hard? Is it to prove myself, or to change the way others see me?” I have asked myself this question countless times.But now, I understand-I am not trying to prove anything, but just for myself. I hope to be a better self, not the person in the eyes of others. Everyone’s life trajectory is written by themselves, and I only hope that in the days to come, I can be worthy of my conscience and face myself with a clear conscience. If I can do this, any external evaluation and eyes will become insignificant.
True self-transcendence is not to defeat others, but to defeat the former self. I used to be full of confusion and anxiety, always troubled by the voices of the outside world. Today, although I am still confused and still have many confusions, I can at least see the direction of progress in these fogs. Every time I move forward and every time I break through, I feel that I am closer to the ideal self.
The trajectory of fate is irreversible, but we can still choose our pace
The wheel of fate has never changed its trajectory due to personal will. None of us can avoid the fate that is destined from the beginning. However, on this ruthless track, each of us can choose how to go. Maybe the road ahead is still full of ups and downs, but so what? As long as we can maintain our inner firmness and continue to move forward, there will always be a ray of light in front of us.I understand that in this game of life, there is no need to expect to achieve it overnight. As long as we can maintain our inner clarity and enthusiasm, and continue to struggle every morning, we can eventually reach our own distance.
Ju Fufu, like all ordinary people who fight against fate, has never stopped. She knows that the future is still full of uncertainty, but she is never afraid. Fate cannot control everything, but she can choose how to face it and how to stand firm in the storm.
Each of us is a rider of fate. In this magnificent ocean of life, we cannot predict every wave of the future, but we can decide how to sail. Ju Fufu may not be perfect, but she is never afraid to move forward, even if the road ahead is full of wind and rain. Because she knows that as long as she persists to the end, she will definitely usher in her own piece of clear sky.

A brief analysis of the profound reflection of the contradictions of the times and the struggle of human nature implied in Ju Fufu’s skills
In today’s era when virtual games are becoming increasingly popular, the skill design of Ju Fufu is like a mirror that reflects the contradictions of real society and human nature. On the surface, she is just a game character with fire attributes and a popcorn pot weapon. However, if we deeply interpret her skill settings, we can see the shadow of people struggling in hardship and surviving in contradictions in that era.
1. Heat system: a symbol of repression and outbreak
Ju Fufu’s heat mechanism is just like the relationship between repression and outbreak in our society. The higher the heat, the stronger the attack, as if the human nature suppressed by reality will inevitably explode when it accumulates to the extreme. However, this outbreak is often accompanied by risks and uncontrollability, just like the revolution and resistance in reality, which are fierce and cruel.This mechanism also reflects the struggle of individuals in an oppressive environment. Although Ju Fufu has a strong attack power, the coherence of her skills requires players to reasonably distribute heat, which symbolizes the contradictory mentality of people between repression and self-control. Excessive burning not only consumes itself, but may also backfire on itself.
2. Dodge and invincibility: the helplessness and struggle of escaping reality
The invincibility brought by the dodge skill is a defensive setting in the game on the surface, but it is actually a metaphor for people’s escape from difficulties in reality. The heavy oppression of real society often makes people feel at a loss, and people can only temporarily get a respite by dodging and avoiding.However, dodge is only temporary, and the invincibility state is limited after all. This echoes the fact that escape cannot solve the fundamental problem in reality. After becoming invincible, Ju Fufu must continue to fight, suggesting that individuals will eventually face the unavoidable reality and responsibility.
3. Coordination skills and imbalance value: contradictions and interest games in social relations
The coordination and imbalance value settings in Ju Fufu’s skills vividly reflect the complexity and contradictions in interpersonal relationships and even social relations. Coordination represents collaboration and union, and reflects the mutual dependence between groups. However, the increase in imbalance value also shows the imbalance of interests and power, and conflicts and frictions are inevitable.This reminds me of the social environment of that era. People did not cooperate purely with each other, but more sought balance in the game of interests and power. The combination of Ju Fufu is not only a superposition of power, but also exposes hidden cracks and contradictions.
4. The symbolic meaning of the popcorn pot: the absurdity and power in ordinary life
Ju Fufu uses a popcorn pot as a weapon, which is very ironic. The popcorn pot is ordinary and even a little funny, but it can become a sharp weapon for attack. Just like the “Ah Q spirit” written by Lu Xun, seemingly weak and powerless little people often show tenacious vitality in absurdity.This weapon symbolizes the struggle and resistance of ordinary people in ordinary life. Seemingly insignificant tools often contain the possibility of changing fate. The continuous attack of the popcorn pot implies persistence and forbearance in the ordinary, which is a metaphor for the power of the disadvantaged groups.
5. Skill growth and “wound” effect: a deep reflection on trauma
The setting that skills are strengthened as the level increases and cause greater damage to injured enemies at the same time reminds people of the dual meaning of trauma in society. Wounds are not only the source of pain, but also the driving force for inspiring strength. Just like social contradictions and conflicts, they are both traumas and the starting point of change.This tells us that neither individuals nor society can avoid pain, but only by facing and utilizing pain can we achieve true growth and transcendence. The wound mechanism of Ju Fufu reflects a profound reflection and criticism of reality.
VI. Imagery and heat: the invisible spiritual power in life
The imagery and heat accumulation in Ju Fufu’s skills symbolize the spiritual power and subconscious fluctuations of people. In the game, heat is a symbol of energy, and imagery is a manifestation of the spiritual level.It reminds us that life is not just external actions, but also the flow of internal consciousness and emotions. The richness and conflict of the spirit constitute the complex picture of the deepest part of human nature. Ju Fufu uses flames to reflect the light and shadow in life, just as the darkness and glory of the times are intertwined.
VII. Conclusion: The era mapping and human enlightenment in Ju Fufu’s skills
As a virtual character, Ju Fufu’s skill design not only brings game fun to players, but also a profound metaphor for the reality of contemporary society and human nature. Her heat mechanism, dodge invincibility, joint relationship, weapon symbolism and growth trajectory analyze the contradictions of the times, the struggle of human nature and the resistance of individuals.In the complex modern society, each of us is the “fire” in the popcorn pot, constantly jumping and burning in the tempering of reality. Ju Fufu reminds us that only by facing the inner contradictions and daring to face difficulties can we find light in the darkness and find the real way to survive.

She picked up forgotten fragments in the depths of the void
I didn’t remember her name, but I remembered the wind in her eyes. That wind was not the light spring breeze, not the heat wave of summer, not the residual smoke of autumn nights, nor the fog of winter, but a whisper that penetrated the cracks in the railway and echoed from the distant star core – it said: Go find me in memory.
She came. Some people say her name is Feng Jin, the color of the wind is violet, and purple is the source of sadness. She did not come suddenly, she was summoned, and was gently awakened at the end of the crack and in the shadow of data. Her footsteps were very light, like a sleepwalker, walking between consciousness and fragments, leaving behind not footprints, but a list of materials.
Have you ever regarded materials as real names? A fragment called “Fear Tramples Flesh and Blood”, you have to hold it in your hand, like holding your childhood nightmare; “Courage Tears the Chest”, that is the day when you grit your teeth and never cry when you grow up; “Glory Baptizes the Body”, you think it is light, but it is actually a knife.
She needs these. You prepare these for her. You think you are upgrading her, but you are actually helping her mend a torn self.
Count them, she wants:
56 pieces of flesh crushed by fear
71 chests torn by courage
73 bodies baptized by glory
65 drunken times
18 seeds of thought
69 sprouts of manas
139 fragments of Alaya
12 echoes of last wishes
8 footprints on the trajectory of fate
21 short stays in the journey
8 records left by adventurers
287 pages of guides written in roaming
and the conversion of 3,888,100 credit points
But these are not the point.
The point is that you will forget that you are playing a game.
You brush the dungeon, you click to synthesize, you fall again and again in the cracks of the “Pinocone Grand Theater”, and get up again and again. You think you are busy for combat effectiveness, but when you look at her silhouette emerging in the light cone at four o’clock in the morning, you will suddenly remember that year when you were alone on the last bus, looking out the window, the window was dark, you were so lonely and determined.
Her light cone is called “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever”, you think it is a prayer, a blessing, and a beautiful thing. But in her dream, the rainbow light is just an illusion that is destined to fade. You have to collect for her:
20 pieces of flesh and blood
20 pieces of chest
14 pieces of body
4 seeds
12 sprouts
15 Alaya
and 385,000 credits
Each number is like a knife, carving out her shape, and you, are you the carver? Who are you?
You even have to help her break through herself – breakthrough is a strange word. It means denying the present, pushing down the boundaries, and burning the past like garbage.
You must prepare for her:
15 fears
15 courages
15 honors
65 cups of drunkenness
and compensation of 308,000 credits
You know where these materials come from, but you don’t know where they go. You “put” them in, just like putting memories into a huge machine, hoping that the machine can give you a “stronger” her. But she was never strong. She was just more like you, more like the you who once searched for yourself in the wind.
Her traces are the map of another dream.
You collect for her:
41 pieces of flesh and blood
56 chests
58 bodies
18 seeds
69 sprouts
139 Alayas
12 sounds of remnants
8 footprints of destiny
and the transaction price of three million credits
Is all this worth it?
You don’t know. But you keep doing it.
You no longer ask who she is, nor who you are. You just keep repeating, as if you are caught in some kind of cycle. You walk into “Ruins of Strife”, walk out, walk in, and walk out again. You hear the chorus of “God’s Day”, you don’t understand the lyrics, but you know that it is the deepest voice in your subconscious that is shouting.
You don’t play this game for her.
You are looking for an exit in this game – leading to the part of yourself that you have long lost.
When you finally raise her to the maximum level, she dances like the wind on the battlefield. Feng Jin, an unreal name, carries the most real emotions in your heart: loneliness, persistence, silence, glimmer, dream, fragments, connection.
She is not a character, she is the wind.
She is not a girl, she is the dream you have forgotten.
She is not on the screen, she is in your heart.

In the flow of time, have we missed our original dream
There is a thin field in my hometown, which was left by my grandfather. He often said when he was alive: “The land is our lifeblood. Without this land, we are nothing.” When I was a child, I didn’t understand why my grandfather was so persistent. I always thought that the land was just a piece of stone slab, nothing great. However, as I grew older, I gradually understood the heavy power behind his words.
My grandfather has been dead for many years, and the land is still there, and the places where he has been cultivated year after year have never changed. But I found that with the flow of time, the originally solid soil is slowly eroding, and everything that has grown has disappeared without a trace. People say that the land is always changing, and it is impossible to maintain the same state forever, but every time I stand on this land and look at the ridge in front of me, I have a strange feeling, as if I am standing in a place where I can’t turn back.
My mother often said that time cannot flow back, just like this field. You always feel that it will always be there, but you don’t know that its changes have already begun quietly. The crops that were planted in those days are now gone, and the dreams and hopes that once existed have long been blown away by the wind of time.
I remember that when my grandfather was young, he often called me to the edge of the field and taught me how to choose the best seeds and how to use a hoe to turn over a new world in the soil. “Although this field is not big, it can feed our family.” Grandpa said as he inserted the hoe deeply into the soil. At that time, I always watched his every move, and I felt that the words of those adults were always so authoritative, as if this piece of land was really the source of destiny that could be relied on.
However, as I grew up, I found that this piece of land was still not our real reliance. The death of my grandfather made this land even more barren. My mother gave the land to me, but I still didn’t have the ability to make this land more fertile like my grandfather. The harvest of the land was getting worse and worse, and the crops often withered. Like many young people in trouble, I was confused, anxious, and full of uncertainty about the future.
I often sit under the eaves, watching my mother’s busy figure, but I think in my heart, can we really rely on this land? My father went out to work in his early years and has not returned yet. My mother has been supporting the family strongly, but she is gradually unable to do so. Neighbors in the village often come to comfort her, saying that it is already amazing that she manages the family affairs well by herself, but I know that her inner suffering is far more than that.
Every morning, my mother will get up early and work in the fields. Her movements are no longer so flexible, and her waist and back are gradually bent. Despite this, she still refuses to give up and continues to cultivate in the wind and rain, as if this land is her only support. However, I know that this land can no longer bring us a rich life, and its embrace has become empty and barren.
The men in the village have long gone to work in the city, and most of those left in the village are the elderly, the weak, women and children. The land here can no longer feed most people. Everyone understands that only by leaving here can we have the opportunity to change our destiny. But every time I see my mother standing at the door, with the reluctance and heaviness in her eyes, I can’t help but feel guilty, as if we are destined to stay on this land and can’t escape.
Sometimes I ask myself, why can’t we leave this land and pursue a new life? However, my mother’s answer is always so simple and heavy: “This land is our root. The deeper the root is, the more powerful it is.” I don’t know if this is my mother’s persistence, or her nostalgia for the past, or her helplessness. But I can feel that she has never really given up this field. This land has carried too many of our stories. It has witnessed our growth and ups and downs, witnessed the death of my grandfather, and witnessed my mother’s countless days of working in the soil.
However, fate makes us understand that no matter how we struggle and how we change, we will eventually return to the original place. This land is not only our reliance, it also carries the emotions and memories deep in our hearts, and carries the persistence for home and homeland. No matter how life changes, this land has long become a part of us that we cannot give up. It is not only a piece of soil for growth, but also an emotion buried deep in our hearts.
In those years, we sowed many hopes on this land, but as time goes by, many hopes have become out of reach. The dreams we once had have long been shattered by reality. Now, standing on the ridge of the field, looking at the gradually desolate land, what surges in my heart is endless sadness and helplessness. Perhaps, we have missed the original dream and the pure hope that was once there.
However, this land is still there. This land is a part of our life. Even if the years are ruthless and the dream is far away, we still stick to this land and stick to the memories and emotions we once had.

Feng Jin’s loneliness and tenacity are like a touch of warmth in the deep winter
Feng Jin, standing in the deserted wasteland, the surrounding scene is lifeless. Her eyes are empty, as if she has seen everything, but also as if she has seen nothing. She likes to stand here alone, stand for a long time, and wait quietly. The outside world always makes her feel uneasy, but the loneliness here can make her calm down a little and think about her future. Life is like this wasteland, desolate, dry, without any color, like an old photo covered with dust, everything is blurred, nothing can be seen clearly.
Her mood is the same as these scenes. Cold, but it may not melt anything. Deserted and lonely, as if there will never be warmth. Feng Jin is a little tired, perhaps not physically tired, but mentally tired. The mind that is always immersed in endless thoughts is always suffocated by unknown pressure. She has asked herself countless times, what is the meaning of such a life?
“Fear crushes flesh and blood.” She was a person with no faith, and perhaps she had never really thought about what faith was. The only thing she remembered was the fear that she could not get rid of. That fear did not come from the outside, but from the bottom of her heart, an indescribable emptiness. Whenever she closed her eyes in the dead of night, that feeling of emptiness would surge into her heart, almost suffocating her. She tried hard to find the thing that once made her warm, but it always slipped away from her fingers like sand. She dared not admit that she had never really owned anything.
“Courage tore the chest.” Feng Jin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, she did not understand the meaning of this word. Courage is never innate, it is just slowly cultivated in struggles. Her life has not seen peace for a long time, everything in her heart has been torn again and again by the years, and all the wounds have long been healed into hard scars. Every time she looked up, she could see the pain of the past, and behind every tear, there were too many unwillingness. However, it was in these countless tearings that she found courage. It is not as shiny as the legend says, but is hidden in the darkness, so hidden that it is almost invisible. It is not external heroism, nor is it the kind of high-pitched excitement in battle. It just silently supports her to keep moving forward.
“Glory baptizes the body.” This sentence sounds like the beginning of some heroic legend. However, Feng Jin never felt that she could be associated with any glory. She is just an ordinary woman, living in this boundless wasteland. Her former dreams have long been worn away. The only thought in her heart is to find a way to keep herself alive. Glory is just an empty word to her. There is always an insurmountable distance between it and her. Feng Jin knows that she can’t be a hero in the eyes of the world. She has never longed to be a brilliant existence. Her pursuit is simple, that is, to live, live better, at least not to disappear too quickly in this cruel world.
“The seeds of thinking” and “the sprouts of manas” are hints in Feng Jin’s life. She knew that in this wasteland, she was like a seed, waiting for a day to take root and sprout in this lonely soil. She did not expect any earth-shaking changes, but only hoped to find her own place in the struggle day after day. But she knew that all this was not achieved overnight. Every seed needs to go through a long wait before it can break through the soil and see the sun. And the starting point of all this is the unspeakable tenacity.
She didn’t remember when she became so indifferent and ruthless, nor did she know when she lost her warmth. The feelings that had long been worn down by life gradually disappeared in the depths of her mind and became blurred. Just like when she stood in this wasteland, all her memories were buried by the wind and sand, and her heart became empty, as if she had lost all the weight. She knew what she had once had, perhaps an old time, or perhaps some past events that she didn’t want to recall. But these things have long become a thing of the past in the passage of time and are no longer important.
Feng Jin is not afraid of loneliness, and is even somewhat accustomed to the taste of loneliness. She doesn’t like the noisy world. The feeling of being surrounded by people makes her a little breathless. She would rather wander alone in this wasteland to find her inner peace. People will always be lonely. Loneliness is not necessarily painful. Sometimes it is a kind of self-baptism and a way of growth. And she slowly found her direction in this lonely journey.
She is not a name that will be remembered by people, nor does she intend to leave any impression in people’s memory. She is just an ordinary woman, standing in this silent wasteland, looking at the disappearing days, gradually calming herself down, accepting the past and the future. What she expects is not some spectacular success, but to find a place that belongs to her in this world, a corner that will not be forgotten. She knows that all this may never happen, but she has never regretted it.
Because she understands that all the loneliness and tenacity are her truest existence. And her persistence may be her only promise to herself.
