  • A long reflection on the loneliness and perseverance of players behind the material collection of Mingchao Xiakong

    In the game world, there is a kind of wonderful loneliness, like the shadow cast under the street lamp in the middle of the night, silent but real. The material collection of Xiakong in Mingchao seems boring and tedious, but it is actually a metaphor for the loneliness and perseverance in the hearts of every player. While brushing the low-frequency tide eclipse sail core, you listen to the distant jazz music of Haruki Murakami in the headphones, and your thoughts drift away, as if you are not fighting alone.

    29 low-frequency tide eclipse sail cores, 40 mid-frequency, 52 high-frequency, 61 full-frequency. Those numbers are like a rhythm engraved in time by a certain existence. You repeat the actions of defeating monsters, opening treasure chests, and completing tasks. Time passes little by little, and materials accumulate little by little. Every kill and every acquisition is like a search for small happiness in life. You know how far you have to go, but you are still reluctant to stop.

    The two names of Burning Phosphorus Bone and Golden Fleece are like symbols in dreams. The Burning Phosphorus Bone was obtained from the Sighing Ancient Dragon. The name itself is like an unspeakable memory, burning and vague. It reminds you that all efforts have a price and pain behind them. But the Golden Fleece is soft and warm, like a precious toy in childhood, a comfort. If you can’t buy something, you must find it yourself, or wait patiently for the weekly purchase limit.

    The shackles in the special weapon materials remind me of the feeling of being bound and eager to break free. You upgrade them and transform them, as if you are forging yourself. The name of the shackles may imply bondage, but your heart is silently resisting. The road to growth is never easy, and you use every upgrade to prove your persistence.

    There are many types of crystallized phlogiston, from impurities to high purity, like a metaphor for each stage of life. At the beginning, it was mixed and confused, and gradually purified over time, just like we gradually sorted out our thoughts and learned to see the essence of life. You repeatedly swipe in the dungeon, and time seems to stagnate, but you know that this is a process that must be experienced. Those tired moments, perhaps only you understand.

    The day of iris blooming is particularly special. It comes from defeating the weekly challenge “Wheel of Fate”, a level with a poetic name. You fight alone on that lonely map, racing against time. When you successfully get this material, it’s like a flower blooming in the wilderness, short but extremely beautiful. You know, these beautiful moments are your motivation to keep going.

    The existence of recharge discounts and discount codes is like a bridge between the real world and the virtual world. You use real money to exchange for growth and happiness in the game, and this exchange is sometimes contradictory. You understand your choice, but you also have questions in your heart: what is worth investing in? This state of mind is like the vague sense of reality in Murakami’s writing, real and distant.

    The small prop of stuffed meat tofu is the ingenuity of game design and the sustenance of the player’s heart. It brings efficiency improvement, but also reminds you that the little happiness in life may be these tiny bonuses. The material drop increases by 50% within 30 minutes. The short-term improvement is like the occasional lucky moment in life. Cherish it, but don’t rely on it.

    The growth materials of Mingchao Xiakong are far more complicated than numbers and names. It is the company of the player in loneliness and a symbol of persistence. You keep moving forward in this virtual world, and the accumulation of materials is not only the accumulation of strength, but also the experience of the soul. Each piece of material carries the mark of time and the love you are unwilling to give up.

    Perhaps it is this loneliness and persistence that makes the players and the game resonate deeply. The game is not just entertainment, it has become an extension of real life and an emotional sustenance. You shuttle between one task after another, like the protagonist of the novel, looking for your own answer.

    In the world of Mingchao, Xiakong’s story continues. The story of the player has never stopped. On this lonely and long road, you will find that perhaps the real growth is to learn to keep that gentle and strong heart in endless waiting and collection.

  • Discussing the secret connection between the virtual world and real loneliness from the complex structure of the material of Mingchao Xiakong

    On such an evening, I sat by the window, the light was soft, and a jazz music was playing in my ears. But the five-star resonator Xiakong, who was about to appear in Mingchao, kept emerging in my mind. Her growth path and material requirements are extremely complex, like an intricate map, leading players to wander and climb in the virtual world. Looking at those low-frequency tidal erosion sail cores, medium-frequency high-frequency and even full-frequency tidal erosion sail cores, as well as burning phosphorus bones, golden wool and layers of crystallized phlogiston, I seemed to see some kind of reality mapping.

    The complex structure of the game world is like the various problems we face in real life. We are all chasing growth, but the process of growth is not simple. It is not a straight line, nor a bright and beautiful path. It is a difficult journey that requires patience, persistence, and even finding direction in countless failures and confusion. Xiakong’s growth just became a metaphor for this journey.

    Those materials with mysterious and romantic names: Tide Sail Core, sound like treasures in the depths of the sea, hiding unsolved secrets. Their classification – low frequency, medium frequency, high frequency, full frequency – reminds me of the different experiences and feelings in life. Sometimes we are overwhelmed by trivial troubles, and sometimes we are hit by strong emotional fluctuations. In the end, we must learn how to dance with these frequencies to truly grow up.

    The name of Burning Phosphorus Bone itself is full of tension. It must be obtained from the powerful Sighing Ancient Dragon, which reminds me of our “inner dragon” in reality – those fears, anxieties and difficulties. Only by facing and defeating the fear in our hearts can we get the “bone” of growth and have the strength to support the inner world.

    The setting of “Golden Fleece” is even more interesting. It symbolizes preciousness and scarcity. Players must spend a lot of time or use shells to buy it, and there is a limit every week. In real life, many things we pursue are also scarce and precious. They make us work hard, but often make people feel tired and powerless. The desire for this scarcity is like our desire for happiness, freedom, and identity. It is never satisfied, but it drives us to move forward.

    The existence of recharge discount codes is like a temptation in modern society. We often wander between reality and virtuality, trying to exchange material benefits or convenience for spiritual satisfaction. A three-percentage-point discount may seem insignificant, but it is enough to make people click and buy repeatedly and immerse themselves in it. This “virtual temptation” is a metaphor for modern life and part of our modern loneliness.

    Xiakong’s resonance circuit is a deeper spiritual line. Resonance originally means the resonance of the soul, which is a subtle connection between people and the world. In the game, various materials are used to enhance the resonance circuit, which seems to remind us that the growth of the soul is not only the external accumulation, but also the internal perception and response. Only when we can resonate with the world can we get out of loneliness and gain real power.

    The design of this game is exquisite, but it also exposes a certain dislocation between the virtual world and the real world. The strict growth system in the game certainly encourages players to invest time and money, but it also reflects the desire and anxiety of modern people for a sense of achievement and belonging. We seem to be looking for a clear path of growth, but we are trapped by countless rules and restrictions. Mingchao Xiakong’s material list is like a microcosm of modern life: complexity, pressure, expectation and anxiety intertwined.

    Playing games is not only a pastime, but also a spiritual sustenance. In this ever-changing world, people use virtual characters to realize their ideals, experience growth, and find a sense of being recognized and understood. Xiakong’s growth material reminds me that the human heart is actually complex and fragile. Real growth requires overcoming various psychological and realistic obstacles, and requires patience and courage.

    The night outside the window is getting darker, and the music is replaced by soft piano sounds. I think about this complex material list and the lives of modern people. Sometimes we are also wandering between different “frequencies” and looking for a balance between reality and virtuality. Xiakong’s story has not yet begun, and our story continues every day.
