Title: Unofficial Game Versions Leaked Before Launch, MiHoYo Seeks Interlocutory Injunction
Recently, screenshots from the internal test versions of “Genshin Impact” and “Blasphemous: Star Rail” have spread on social media, sparking heated discussions among players. Are these screenshots official trailers or the result of intentional leaks? In response, game developer MiHoYo has filed a motion for interlocutory injunction with the Shanghai Xuhui Intermediate People’s Court, requesting the court to prohibit the unauthorized dissemination of unpublicized versions of the games.
MiHoYo claims that the dynamic scenes featuring its characters, actions, and skill effects in the games constitute “audiovisual works” under the Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China. The company asserts that it holds the copyright for these elements. However, MiHoYo discovered that game streamer Wu Moumou was regularly and specifically broadcasting these unpublicized versions of the games on his Douyin account. The videos were posted during the testing period, with the highest views reaching 3.96 million and 1.385 million, respectively. MiHoYo argues that Wu Moumou’s actions not only infringe upon the company’s copyright but also violate industry norms, disrupting the game’s operations and promotional rhythm and damaging the company’s legitimate rights and interests, thereby constituting unfair competition.
Upon receiving the application, the Shanghai Xuhui Intermediate People’s Court convened an expedited hearing and, after a thorough review, legally ruled that Wu Moumou must immediately cease disseminating the unpublicized versions of the games. The order was immediately effective upon issuance.
In its deliberation, the Shanghai Xuhui Intermediate People’s Court relied on the “Provisions on the Review of Intellectual Property Dispute Interlocutory Injunction Cases” to conduct a focused examination of the applicant’s request. The court found that game streamer Wu Moumou had been regularly broadcasting dynamic game scenes of “Genshin Impact” and “Blasphemous: Star Rail” on Douyin during the testing period. These scenes contained characters, weapons, monsters, maps, storylines, gameplay, and activity tasks that MiHoYo had not yet made public. Both games were highly popular and had significant commercial value. If Wu Moumou’s actions were not immediately halted, it would significantly impact MiHoYo’s operational strategies, and his continued dissemination of unpublicized versions of the games could further expand the infringement. Therefore, the court deemed it necessary to take immediate action to prevent irreparable losses.
In conclusion, the Shanghai Xuhui Intermediate People’s Court ruled that Wu Moumou must immediately cease disseminating the unpublicized versions of the games.

Behind the glitz, we are all quietly waiting for our own warmth and peace
I have been in this city for a long time, so long that I almost forgot why I came here in the first place. I used to be very young, with some naive and unrealistic dreams, as if everything could become beautiful from this moment. I used to think that life can be planned, love can be found, and even all the suffering and misfortune can fade with the passage of time. However, reality always teaches you a lesson, telling you that all the beliefs and expectations will eventually turn into a breeze and dissipate in the air.
That day I sat in a cafe with him, the aroma of coffee lingered in the air, and the people around me talked and laughed, as if everything was so natural. However, I could never find a trace of warmth in my heart. He wore a simple white shirt, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and didn’t talk much, but he always had something to say. Such people often make people feel an unconscious sense of dependence. I once thought that such a man might be able to give me a future different from others.
However, time passed quickly, and I gradually found that he was always late, no one answered the phone, and the agreed things were often changed. He said he was busy, so busy that he had no time to care about anyone, and even too busy to see himself. I understand that in this city, being busy is the norm, and everyone has to deal with pressure from all sides, especially people like him who seem to have achieved some success in their careers. However, behind the busyness is endless emptiness, loneliness that dare not face, and the increasingly unspeakable pain of those emotions hidden deep in the heart.
One day, I suddenly received a call from him, saying that he had something to do and had to go out of town for a while and might not come back. I sat in front of the window, listening to the cold voice on the other end of the phone, watching the people rushing by on the street, and felt an unspeakable loss in my heart. It was obviously a sunny afternoon, and the sun was pouring in through the glass window, but my heart felt empty, as if all the colors disappeared from my world at that moment. I used to think that this kind of emptiness was only occasional, who knew that it would become the norm in my life.
I began to become more silent, even a little alienated. Every time I communicate with someone, I say polite greetings, but my eyes are always empty, like an image whose edges have been smoothed by time and environment. I walked on the street, listening to the noisy traffic and seeing people’s hurried steps. Suddenly, I felt that everyone in this city was lonely. No one can really get into another person’s heart. Every relationship is just a self-righteous performance, and in the end, only empty echoes are left.
Sometimes, I think, if I don’t expect anything anymore, will I no longer feel lost? But I am unwilling to do so. Everyone has a place in their heart that they dare not face, which is the weakest and most vulnerable corner. We often try to cover it up, trying to make it look strong and perfect, and even declare to the outside world that we are mature and rational enough. However, only we know how that fragility is like an invisible thread, quietly pulling our emotions and influencing our lives.
He left, the person who once brought me warmth and expectations, like a gust of wind, left quietly. I tried to let it go, but I knew I couldn’t do it. Maybe we are just passers-by in each other’s lives after all. Although I have tried to integrate myself into his world and try to understand his busyness and indifference, in the end, I am still powerless to change anything.
I no longer force anything, and life seems to have returned to peace. Every day, I still live step by step, eating, working, going home, and sleeping, as if everything has returned to the starting point. I began to like this kind of life without waves, at least there is no more annoying concern, at least every night when I go to bed, I will no longer toss and turn thinking about whether he has come back or whether he has missed me. Yes, I will no longer wait. I suddenly realized that perhaps love itself is like a beautiful dream, and each of us meets ourselves in this dream.
Sometimes, I will stand in front of the window, looking into the distance, and thinking of those days. Those dreams about youth, about the fantasy of love, about the life that I once hoped for, seem to have quietly disappeared in the passage of time. I think that probably everyone’s life cannot escape such a journey: from enthusiasm to indifference, and then to willing cooling.
Yes, I began to learn to let go and learn to reconcile with myself. It turns out that life does not need too much prosperity and bustle, it only needs a calm heart and inner peace. In this city, although there are still people coming and going and the lights are brilliant, I no longer crave those empty things. I learned to calm myself down, listen to the voice of my heart, understand my loneliness and loss, and learn to reconcile with my past self.
Perhaps, I will continue to be lonely, continue to walk in this world, and continue to experience the warmth and coldness of love and the ups and downs of life. But I know that no matter what the future holds, I will keep a peaceful heart, live comfortably, and live truthfully. Those expectations in the past are no longer important. What is important is that on this long road, I have learned to live with myself and to find my own warmth and peace.

A profound reflection on the spiritual dilemma and social contradictions of modern people from the skill of Ju Fufu’s popcorn pot
As the founder of modern Chinese literature, Mr. Lu Xun used his sharp pen to expose the darkness of society, analyze the weaknesses of human nature, and criticize feudal corruption. His writings often carry a strong sense of reality criticism and profound humanistic care. Try to use Ju Fufu’s “popcorn pot” skill in Absolute Zone Zero as an entry point to analyze the spiritual dilemma and social contradictions of modern people, or you can get a glimpse of the truth of the times.
Ju Fufu’s ordinary attack is a set of three-stage combos, with swift movements but not ostentatious. The image of his “popcorn pot” is quite ironic: a spatula has become a weapon to kill the enemy, which is undoubtedly a metaphor for the alienation of tools in modern life. The spatula is originally a kitchen utensil, carrying the warmth of life and the warmth of the family, but in this game world, it is given the function of killing, just as in reality, many technologies and systems that should serve human happiness have been distorted into weapons of oppression.
The “imbalance” effect caused by combos is particularly intriguing. Imbalance is a dynamic state, but the “imbalance” here has become a negative state that makes the enemy lose defense, suggesting that the mental state of people in modern society is on the verge of an unstable danger. The social structure is complex, interpersonal relationships are tense, and life pressure is huge. Modern people are troubled by various imbalances like enemies: anxiety, depression, alienation, and loneliness are intertwined into a spiritual crisis. Ju Fufu gradually deepens the imbalance with combos, just like countless subtle pressure points in reality gradually accumulate until they crush the individual.
The “heat” setting in the skill is more meaningful. Heat represents the excitement of emotions, but it is restricted from excessive accumulation, otherwise it will trigger the “overheating” effect and cause self-injury. This is a metaphor for the difficulty of modern people’s emotional regulation: society often requires people to be rational and restrained to avoid “explosion”, but ignores the real pain in their hearts. Ju Fufu keeps attacking and accumulating heat, just like modern people struggling in a pressure cooker-like social environment, calm on the surface, churning in their hearts, but it is difficult to really let go.
The dual mechanism of the dodge skill – short press for invincible sprint and long press for rotation dodge – shows two ways for modern people to survive in difficult situations. Short press symbolizes a superficial escape, a short escape from reality; long press for rotation is a manifestation of anxiety and struggle, and the helplessness and frustration of being trapped in a rotating cage. Many characters in Lu Xun’s works, whether it is Ah Q’s self-consolation or Xianglin Sao’s suffering struggle, reflect the profound pain of this kind of spiritual dilemma.
In the enhanced special skill, the popcorn pot rotates and swings, surrounded by flames, like a lonely dance. This raging fire burns not only the enemy, but also seems to burn the vitality of Ju Fu Fu himself. Modern people, in loneliness and pressure, sometimes fight hard and sometimes consume themselves. This contradiction and pain are faintly revealed in the performance of skills. Lu Xun repeatedly described this kind of spiritual tearing in “Call to Arms” and “Wandering”, criticizing society for making people fall into despair.
Linked skills and finishing skills emphasize teamwork and individual outbreaks. The shield that Ju Fufu gives to his teammates symbolizes the weak but necessary support between people, while the fierce attack of the finishing skill shows the occasional outburst and cry of individuals under great oppression. In the “siege” of modern society, people are both dependent and wary of each other, eager to connect but afraid of being hurt. As Lu Xun revealed, people’s hearts are complicated and social relations are full of contradictions.
The quick support and parry support of the support skills, although not obvious, are the key to maintaining the entire battle situation. Many nameless defenders in life are also like this. They silently support a piece of heaven and earth, which makes people sigh at the complexity and injustice of society. Lu Xun has repeatedly called for attention to the vulnerable groups at the bottom, emphasizing that they are the foundation of society.
The core skill “Popcorn Pot Automatic Attack” continuously outputs flame attacks, symbolizing the protracted war of modern people under high-pressure environments. Although individuals are tired, they have to keep moving forward, and life burns like a furnace, hot and helpless. The dual symbol of fire – destruction and purification – also echoes Lu Xun’s expectations for social reform: only by breaking the old and establishing the new can we usher in true light.
Finally, the multiple layers of flame imagery in Ju Fufu’s skills can’t help but remind people of the interweaving of darkness and light in Lu Xun’s works. Flame is both a witness to pain and a symbol of hope. In the oppressive social reality, people use the will of fire to illuminate the way forward, even if the road is long and difficult.
From this point of view, Ju Fufu’s “popcorn pot” skill is not just a battle setting in the game, but also deeply reflects the complex reality of modern people’s spiritual dilemma and social contradictions. It reminds us: in an increasingly materialistic and stressful society, individual struggles and pain cannot be ignored. Only by facing these contradictions can we find true relief.

The spiritual shackles of modern game design and the suffering of players behind the complex materials of Mingchao Xiakong
In recent years, a new character, Xiakong, has been added to the Mingchao game. Her development requires a large number of complex materials, including low-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores, medium-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores, high frequencies and full frequencies, which are progressive and the number is astonishing; there are also rare materials such as “burning phosphorus bones” and “golden wool”, which are not only obstacles to the game process, but also a test of the player’s time and endurance. The design of these materials, on the surface, is a test of the player’s patience and operation, but in fact it reveals the spiritual shackles behind modern game design, and it is also a reflection of the spirit of the times and business logic.
Look at the numbers, 29 low-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores, 40 medium frequencies, 52 high frequencies, 61 full frequencies… This endless accumulation is like modern people being overwhelmed by various life pressures, as if they can never reach their goals and are always chasing but to no avail. The game’s materials are superimposed layer by layer, just like countless invisible rules and desires in reality, binding people in a web of complicated trivial matters, struggling but difficult to escape.
The strange name “Burning Phosphorus Bone” refers to the precious drop obtained by defeating the powerful boss “Sighing Ancient Dragon”. The boss here is not an ordinary enemy, but a powerful enemy that needs to be conquered with great effort, symbolizing countless hardships and challenges in reality. Players spend a lot of time and energy for this in exchange for the capital of “growth”. However, this growth is not free growth, but growth limited by designed cycles and paths.
“Golden Fleece” is another symbolic item. Wool was originally a symbol of softness and warmth, but in the game it has become a rare resource that must be purchased in limited quantities from specific copies or stores. The transformation of wool into “golden fleece” implies scarcity and value, and also implies that the player’s choice is limited, and resources are artificially made scarce to stimulate consumption desire. Behind such a design is the double exploitation of players’ time and money by capital.
The materials for special weapons are called “shackles”. Simple shackles, basic shackles, modified shackles, and special shackles are linked one by one, like the locks of a cage, gradually tightening the player’s freedom. Upgrading special weapons is no longer a simple act of improving strength, but has become a kind of cage construction. With each additional ring, the player’s actions and choices are more tightly bound to the game settings.
The promotion of recharge systems and discount codes is a direct reflection of the capitalization of modern games. Players are induced to continuously invest real money in exchange for the power and advancement of the virtual world. Games are no longer just entertainment, but a battlefield controlled by capital, and players have become invisible consumers. In the digital game world, real money has become the key to virtual achievements, and this key is designed to be difficult to fully master forever.
The “Iris Blooming Day” materials in the game need to be obtained by defeating weekly challenges. The challenges themselves are complex and require time and strategy, symbolizing that “opportunities” in reality are often exclusive to a few people. Ordinary players spend a lot of time on this road, but opportunities and results are often difficult to be distributed equally, reflecting the class solidification and resource inequality in real society.
The prop “Stuffed Meat and Tofu” seems simple, but it is an “accelerator” to speed up the acquisition of materials, which is a metaphor for the cruel logic of “efficiency” in modern life. Players use it to exchange for a short-term efficiency improvement, but they also fall into more urgent competition and consumption. They cannot stop and can only keep moving forward. The rhythm of the game is deliberately accelerated, forming invisible pressure, forcing players to continue to invest time.
These layers of material requirements and complex settings reflect the situation of modern people being bound by both material and spiritual constraints. Players pursue power and glory in the virtual world, but are restricted by numbers and mechanisms and become gears in the system. Games are no longer pure entertainment, but have become invisible labor fields. Players’ efforts are constantly squeezed, but they are rarely free and relaxed.
The material design of Mingchao Xiakong is a microcosm of the capital logic and the spirit of the times of modern games. It reflects the true portrayal of people struggling in anxiety and competition, and also reminds us to be wary of the spiritual shackles in the game. Players should not just mechanically pursue digital growth, but should protect themselves and stay clear between virtual and reality.
May we be able to see through the chains behind this gorgeous appearance and find our own freedom and happiness, rather than becoming the driven ones designed by capital. The Mingchao Xiakong Road is ultimately a metaphorical road of modern spirit.

Striving forward in confusion How Ju Fufu learned to live in peace with herself
Ju Fufu’s name may not be conspicuous in the eyes of many people. She may not have particularly outstanding talents, nor too many eye-catching deeds. Even in the memory of most people, she is just a gentle, quiet and low-key girl. However, if you try to understand her heart, you will find that she is actually a person who has experienced many vicissitudes and has extremely deep self-awareness.
From a very young age, Ju Fufu has a special sensitivity. She seems to always be able to sense the emotional fluctuations of people around her and see those unknown details, which makes her always seem a little out of place in social occasions. Rather than saying that she is a “bystander” in life, it is better to say that she is always in an emotional barrier. She constantly examines herself, doubts herself, and sometimes even thinks that she can’t adapt to this world. Her heart is often full of deep confusion, as if she is always looking for the right place, but she can never find it.
Loneliness and self-doubt: a long torment of the soul
Ju Fufu often falls into that kind of deep self-doubt. She saw that others were decisive and lived a fulfilling life, and seemed to have everything, but she was often in chaos and anxiety. This anxiety came from her inner evaluation of herself – she thought she was not good enough, not smart enough, and not successful enough. These invisible pressures, like an invisible hand, strangled her throat and made it difficult for her to breathe.But she did not give up. She understood that what she was experiencing was not loneliness, but a deep self-exploration of the soul. It was this exploration that made her constantly examine herself and find the true strength of her heart. She began to realize that the confusion in her heart was not an insurmountable obstacle, but an opportunity for growth.
Whenever it was late at night, Ju Fufu would reflect on herself alone in the mirror. She would ask: “Who am I? Why am I so anxious?” She began to examine her past life and try to find the answer from it. She gradually realized that the answer to life does not need to be found immediately, but to be experienced and discovered through countless experiences and thinking.
Persistence and hard work: from confusion to determination
Although Ju Fufu’s heart was full of anxiety, she never stopped moving forward. She knew that she couldn’t change anything by simply giving up. Only by persisting could she see the light. So she began to set some small goals, and she was cautious and tenacious in every step. She did not pursue overnight success, nor did she expect those seemingly simple answers. She was just looking for a kind of inner peace and stability.It is not easy to achieve these small goals. Behind every success, there are countless failures and setbacks. Ju Fufu is not a particularly lucky person. She has experienced many moments of being misunderstood and has suffered pain that many people cannot see. However, she never gives up easily. She understands that life is not fair to everyone, but this does not mean that we cannot change it through hard work.
She began to gradually accept her imperfections and no longer blamed herself for all her failures. She realized that failure is not terrible, but what is really terrible is not trying. Every fall is an opportunity to stand up again. She accumulated experience in setbacks and gradually learned how to face challenges and how to get out of every predicament.
Inner practice: learning to reconcile with oneself
As time went by, Ju Fufu began to slowly find a kind of peace from the bottom of her heart. She no longer denied herself, no longer tried to perfectly cater to the expectations of the outside world, but learned to reconcile with herself. She learned to accept her own fragility, admit her own shortcomings, and learn to let go of things that could not be changed.She began to reflect on her past obsessions and those behaviors that tried to prove her value through others. She realized that the real power is not the praise and recognition of the outside world, but the inner tenacity and peace. She no longer entangled in the mistakes of the past, nor was she anxious about the unknown future. She began to enjoy the present, enjoy every deep breath, and enjoy the time alone with herself.
For Ju Fufu, the meaning of life is not how to get recognition from others, but how to live in peace with yourself and how to find strength from the heart. She understands that every moment in life is a unique gift, and the most worthy of cherishing are those voices and feelings from her heart.
The impact of interpersonal relationships: from loneliness to warmth
On Ju Fufu’s growth path, loneliness was once her most common emotion. However, as time went by, she gradually learned how to build truly deep interpersonal relationships. Her friends were not those who were anxious about chasing worldly success, but those who, like her, pursued inner peace and authenticity.The appearance of these friends made Ju Fufu feel unprecedented warmth. She no longer felt that she was a lonely individual, but shared the joys and sorrows of life with these people. She understood that building a sincere relationship with others does not mean making herself dependent on others, but discovering more aspects of herself through interaction with others.
Her friends helped her see the deeper potential in her heart and encouraged her to continue pursuing her dreams. Every conversation and every companionship became an indispensable part of her life. She learned how to better understand others and herself. She began to understand that the true meaning of interpersonal relationships is not mutual dependence, but mutual understanding and support.
The power of growth: finding yourself and surpassing yourself
Today, Ju Fufu is no longer the confused and overwhelmed girl. Through her own efforts and thinking, she has found her own rhythm and way. She understands that life is not perfect, and there is no absolute right or wrong in the path of life. She just tried her best to live out her true self and pursue the peace of mind.In this process, she deeply realized that true growth is not only about achievements in the outside world, but also about how to reconcile with the heart and how to draw strength from every setback. She understands that her past confusion and anxiety, struggle and confusion are all necessary processes for her growth. It is these experiences that have made her stronger and more real today.
Ju Fufu’s story may not be earth-shattering, but it is a microcosm of everyone who struggles in difficult situations. She reconciled with herself, through continuous efforts and persistence, and finally walked out of her own world. In her story, we see the power of growth and feel those small but important moments in life – those moments that can make us more resilient and brave.

From the complexity of Mingchao Xiakong’s materials, the contradictions of modern game design and the irony of players’ moods
In the vast universe of today’s electronic games, Mingchao Xiakong, a new five-star resonator, is undoubtedly a love-hate existence for players. The complexity of her cultivation materials is like the red tape in ancient officialdom, which is so complicated that it makes people crazy, but it is unbearable. The progressive progression of low-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores, mid-frequency, high-frequency and even full-frequency not only reflects the ingenuity of the game production team, but also exposes the designer’s strict requirements on players’ time and patience. Reading it is like flipping through a thick and detailed ancient book, which makes people tired but can’t help turning pages.
Look at the astonishing numbers: 29 low-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores, 40 mid-frequency, 52 high-frequency, 61 full-frequency, increasing layer by layer, just like what Mencius said, “A family that accumulates good will surely have a surplus of happiness”, but this surplus of happiness in the game turns into a long night that exhausts the players’ energy. Why is it so? This is nothing more than a tug-of-war between designers and players. The former regards “patience” as currency, while the latter often torture themselves in the continuous collection of materials. How sad!
What is even more amusing is the various names of materials, such as “Burning Phosphorus Bone” and “Golden Fleece”. The names are incredible, full of fantasy poetry and a certain cruel reality. Only by defeating the Sighing Ancient Dragon can you obtain the Burning Phosphorus Bone, just like the “high wall is difficult to cross” in life. Only by struggling and fighting can you win the crown; and the Golden Fleece is a rare material obtained from the Lina Xi Tower or the pharmacy store with limited purchases, just like the meager but unattainable beauty in life.
Turning our attention to the materials of Xia Kong’s exclusive weapons, called “shackles”, the levels range from simple shackles, basic shackles to modified and special shackles, one ring after another, like the ancient fetters, which reminds people of the saying “shackles do not solve people’s confusion”, and the irony is overwhelming. Upgrading a special weapon seems to be a kind of power gain, but the name actually implies “shackles”, which undoubtedly reveals the other side of the game’s growth path – restraint and control.
The various crystallized phlogists that frequently appear in the game, from impurities, crude extraction to distillation, high purity, are advanced one by one, which is not only a test for players, but also a design ingenuity of the in-game economy. Players seem to be in an alchemy laboratory, gradually purifying, but they can’t help but feel irritated – in the face of endless accumulation of materials, who can keep their original intentions?
Furthermore, the day when the iris blooms is a key material, which must be obtained by defeating the weekly challenge of “Wheel of Fate”. Its setting is like the extremely rare flower of opportunity in life, which is fleeting and can be missed if you are not careful. This reflects the dual requirements of contemporary game design for players to “invest time” and “control opportunities”, which is actually a touchstone for players’ endurance.
The recharge system and discount code promotion are undoubtedly proof of capital logic. Players are lured to keep paying out of their pockets in exchange for growth and glory in the virtual world. The “shell money” in reality is transformed into “strength” in the game. It is a pity that the world is going downhill, and the game has become a microcosm of the “modern capital game”. Players put coins in the virtual world to take things, just like the peddlers in the ancient market, laboring in exchange for things, which is quite ironic.
It is worth mentioning that “stuffed meat tofu”, this seemingly simple prop, carries the secret of the rhythm and efficiency of the game. Using it can increase the material drop efficiency by 50% within 30 minutes, just like the “quick success method” in life, which brings a little comfort to anxious players, but also intensifies the rhythm of the game, making “slow life” a luxury.
In short, the material design of Mingchao Xiakong is not only the crystallization of game industry technology and commercial interests, but also a huge test of players’ time and endurance. It reminds people of the “siege” mentality described by Qian Zhongshu: players are eager to grow and become powerful, but are firmly bound by layers of complex systems, and are in a dilemma.
Therefore, the growth path of Mingchao Xiakong is a microcosm of modern game design – it not only gives players the freedom of fantasy, but also limits players’ freedom with tedious tasks and materials. Players run around in the game world, just like scholars in classical literature, hesitating between ideals and reality. If you can treat this complexity with a humorous and calm attitude, you may be able to truly experience the fun brought by the game, instead of being drowned by the torrent of numbers.

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.

The sound of gunfire coming from the airdrop: the choice and trust in the change
This is an era of change, and even the virtual battlefield is not immune.
One day, the update came. It changed everything we were familiar with without warning or asking for our opinions. AUG, a gun that was once only seen in airdrop boxes, now appears in the corner of the map. The “identity” of this gun has changed. It is no longer a “noble” existence. It has become ordinary and can be seen everywhere.
I didn’t believe it at first. In countless battles in the past, I chased airdrops for an AUG in a hail of bullets, and often fell under the enemy’s firepower before I got close. Now it can appear in the world like M4, which is surprising and makes people feel some indescribable emotions.
Maybe some things should not belong to only a few people.
After the update, I began to pay attention to this weapon. While I missed the past M4, I also tried to understand the new look of AUG. The damage of these two guns is the same, both 41. It seems that there is no difference, but details determine victory or defeat, victory or defeat is related to fate, and fate is never a simple multiple-choice question.
I noticed that the recoil of the AUG has been adjusted to be easier to control than the M4. Its vertical recoil has been reduced by 20% and horizontal recoil has been reduced by 10%, which means that people don’t have to suppress the recoil when shooting, and they are more relaxed. And what about the M4? It is still the familiar gun, stable, fast and flexible. The reloading speed is one second faster than the AUG, and this second may be the dividing line between victory and defeat in close-range firefights.
But this does not mean that the AUG has lost. Its bullet speed is still faster, at 900 meters per second, which is faster than the M4’s 880. Such a gap may be insignificant, but it can become a decisive advantage at certain moments. Just like a small choice in life, it becomes a turning point of fate many years later.
I am not a person who only cares about data. The performance of these two guns can be calculated. But I care more about the value behind them. For a player, a person who seeks order and balance in a virtual world, it is not a cold number, but a choice closely linked to the rhythm of life.
AUG can now be picked up on the map, and it is no longer an unattainable existence. What has changed? It breaks the level, allowing more people to have the opportunity to experience the stability and power that was once out of reach. Its performance in actual combat has undoubtedly exceeded many people’s expectations. But I know that many people still choose M4. They are familiar with it and trust it, just like a person is used to the friends around him, and even if the new friends are better, they are unwilling to change easily.
Trust, this is something beyond the gun, it is the accumulation of experience, the memory of battle, and the tacit understanding established on the brink of life and death.
Maybe we should try to accept change. Change is not to deny the past, but to give the future an extra choice. When we pick up AUG in a battle, we might as well put aside our obsession with M4 for the time being and try this once high-ranking weapon to see if it can still bring us confidence and strength as before.
Of course, if you want to make these weapons look better, you can also consider changing the skin. This is not vanity, but a recognition of self. When you are willing to invest in a weapon, it will also become different in your hands. This requires UC, and there are many ways to get UC. Some of them, such as Treabar, are faster and more affordable, and are worth a try.
I believe that no matter which gun you choose, as long as you master it with your heart, it will not let you down. And every battle in the game is like every choice in life. Only by going down to earth can you know what is the real victory that belongs to you.
