She has a name, or rather, a code name: “Trigger”.
She was shaped into a weapon in this world. But she was not born like this. She was like a dream that was deliberately forgotten, and was reawakened in the 1.6 program update. You can choose to remember her, or just pass by. But if you are willing to get closer, you will find that her existence is not to be understood, but to become something sharp-
She needs to grow up. This word sounds ordinary, but it is more real than any emotion.
In another interface, we see the price of her growth.
It is not the magic of fairy tales, nor the throbbing of romance, but a list of calm data:
She needs 25 basic electric shock chips, 75 advanced chips, and 250 specialized chips.
It requires 4 primary breaking cognitions, 32 advanced breaking cognitions, and 30 breaker certification badges.
She even needs an item called “Grip of the Bloody Wind”-it sounds like a scratch left by some kind of fate. You have to defeat the “Dead Road Butcher” to get it. It’s like a past intimate relationship that is forced to face again.
On her growth path, there is a series of numbers as precise as a formula:
3,705,000 dini, which is the price of reality for virtual existence.
Yes, her existence has a price, and we are all paying silently.
But she is not static.
Her sound engine is exclusive.
It will make sounds for her when she is awake, and record the aftermath of every battle when she is silent.
We need to break 4 components, 32 enhanced components, and 30 specialized components.
We also need 200 energy modules and a not small fee: 400,000 dini.
In this way, she gradually has the ability to “speak”, not just to make sounds, but to let people hear her will.
She needs to break through again and again. Just like a person who repeatedly walks into the emotional abyss, repeatedly stacking love and loss.
Every 10 levels, her scars grow. She has to pay – she is required to take out the cognition breaking, and she is required to pay more Dingni. From 24,000 to 400,000, each one is our investment in her “future”. The advancement of skills is more like the fission of a person’s inner world: She has a complete skill system: basic attack, dodge, special skills, chain skills, support skills. These are not just “functions”, they are proof that she has been injured, angry, and struggled. Want to upgrade all these skills to the top? You must take out more chips, more materials, and more “you”. For example: Grip of the Bloody Wind: You must return to the nightmare again and again. Life-Destroying Cut: A high-dimensional data fragment, a crystallization of memory left after she and you have experienced it together. Hamster Cage Accessor: The name itself is like a metaphor – we are all trapped in the space we set. Only she is trying to get out. We can’t shape her with weapons alone, nor can we make her “complete” with resources alone.
You can only accompany her into the training ground again and again, weave those solitudes that are not understood, and feel the loneliness that seems to pass through the nerves when her chain skills are released.
You may ask: Is she worth it?
The answer is, you will never know.
Just like you once loved someone deeply, you worked hard, forgave countless times, and constantly reshaped.
In the end, you don’t know whether it is for her or just for the unfinished self in your heart.
The total cost of her skill upgrade is:
Grip of the Bloody Wind x9
Death Cut x60
Accessor x5
Electric Shock Chip: Basic x25, Advanced x75, Specialized x250
Dinny 2,905,000
Yes, it’s another series of cold numbers. But after you are really ready, seeing her standing at the forefront of the battle with a new attitude, you will understand: that is not a cold weapon, but a reconstruction after heartbreak.
She is not a savior, nor a hero. She is not even your real “companion”.
She is just a shadow of yourself projected in the virtual world that you see on a tired morning.
She is aggressive, defensive, fragile, and has a soul that needs to be repaired.
She is just a lonely girl who has learned how to turn electricity into language and wounds into strength in this huge and cruel system.
