  • The strange landscape of contemporary people’s spiritual life can be seen from the complicated list of materials for the development of Xiakong in Mingchao.

    If the spiritual world of modern people is compared to an ancient castle that has not been completely renovated, then the complicated list of materials for the development of “Xiakong” in the game “Mingchao” is undoubtedly the complicated beams and carvings in the castle, which are both cumbersome and redundant, but indispensable. Looking at this list, there are many names such as “tidal erosion sail core”, “crystallized phlogiston”, “burning phosphorus bones”, etc., which are like a dazzling alchemy performance, but also faintly reveal the alternative anxiety and complex demands of contemporary people for spiritual life.

    This list is nothing more than a microcosm of social culture, reflecting people’s hesitation about the blurred boundary between virtual and reality today. Development materials such as “low-frequency tidal erosion sail core” and “high-purity crystallized phlogiston” sound very mysterious, but they have become a symbol for players to prove their identity and show their existence. Not to mention games, even the efforts in the human world are like this – it’s just that the “materials” in reality are more secretive and complicated, but they are equally painful.

    Imagine that a modern player, in order to make “Xiakong” from obscurity to a five-star character admired by thousands of people, needs to run around, brush dungeons, brush materials, and frequently recharge, consuming countless efforts and material resources. The fatigue here, if viewed from the life experience of ordinary people, is almost like hard labor day after day; and on the spiritual level, it is the constant pursuit of self-worth and the cruel kidnapping of a sense of achievement. Those virtual materials have become the dual currency of spirit and time. Players exchange time for happiness and money for satisfaction, which is quite ironic in modern consumer society.

    The names of the materials are particularly intriguing. The term “burning phosphorus bones” sounds like a secret recipe for alchemy in ancient times, but it is actually a drop after defeating a specific BOSS; “Golden Fleece” borrows mythological allusions and becomes a precious item that is limited to purchase in the virtual mall. Ancient mythological symbols are reborn here, but they are capitalized into resources that can be bought and sold. This scene makes people smile. The legends and myths of the past have become the “commodified myths” of today’s game economy, and the absurdity and nothingness of life have been concretized and turned into materials and numbers in hand.

    The complexity and redundancy of the game world is exactly the same as real life. In today’s society, the layers of tasks and goals, countless “materials” and “resources” seem to have become the standard for measuring success and value. People continue to “cultivate” themselves, from the accumulation of knowledge to the promotion of their careers, which is no different from collecting materials in the game, but often lose the fun of the process, leaving only mechanical repetition and boredom.

    What’s even better is that the “achievement system” created by this type of game is nothing less than the “spiritual opium” of the modern people’s spirit. In the face of frustration and hardship in real life, players temporarily find a sense of existence and self-affirmation by constantly collecting materials and upgrading characters. Unfortunately, this sense of existence is mostly fragile and fragile, like a paper castle that will be blown away by the wind. Such “cultivation” is either a loss of spiritual self or a deep exploitation of individuals by the consumer society.

    It can be seen that cultivation materials are not only virtual resources in the game, but also a metaphor for spiritual dilemmas in reality. Faced with an increasingly fragmented and fast-paced life, people need to rely on certain symbols and systems to build their own “identity” and “value”, and the material list in the game just provides such an operational symbol system. However, this system can easily become a “spiritual cage”, and players often lose themselves in the process of chasing materials and forget why they set out.

    In fact, games are like life. The key is not how much materials and levels you accumulate, but whether you can find your true self in the process. If you only know how to chase numbers and symbols, it is nothing more than endless labor. Only by appreciating the breadth and depth of life in cultivation can you be called “living interestingly”.

    Starting from the list of “Xiakong” cultivation materials, it reflects the desire of contemporary people for meaning and belonging, and also reminds us not to let the complex virtual materials become a spiritual cage. Life should be simple and rich, and the spirit should be free and bright. May we not only enjoy the fun of the game, but also stay sober in the chaos and find our own truth and tranquility.

  • The interweaving of light and shadow of Feng Jin on the Star Dome Railway and the pursuit of loneliness in the depths of memory

    Feng Jin is like a silent wind, passing through the desolation and emptiness of the Star Dome Railway, slowly moving towards the unknown with unspeakable sorrow and hidden strength. She is not only the incarnation of wind, but also a soul hollowed out by time and filled with memory. In this upcoming 3.3 version, her appearance is like a quiet sigh, with blurred light and shadow, casting a broken shadow in the depths of the interstellar.

    Her growth is a journey to find herself in the void. Fear, courage, and glory, these three elements that tear each other apart and entangle each other, become the components of her body and soul. The flesh and blood crushed by fear, 56 scattered fragments, like the silent cracks deep in her heart, are repeatedly torn and stitched. She stares at herself between this pain and brokenness, trying to sort out those blurred boundaries.

    The chest torn by 71 courage is like a hidden secret, which is repeatedly revealed and buried. Her courage is not a dazzling flame, but a low, silent resistance, a cold light that refuses to go out in the ashes. The tear on her chest is the pain in her heart and her deepest questioning of the world.

    The 73 pieces of body baptized by glory are the remaining dignity after her struggle with herself. Glory is like a distant and illusory dream. She tried to grab it, but it always slipped from her fingertips. It is a fragment left by time, like a broken ribbon, entangled with her wandering soul.

    That drunken era, 65 hazy intoxication, buried in the shadow of the Pinocchio Theater. It is her look back at the past, the poison of memory, and the salvation of the soul. She was lost in the drunkenness, and in the lost, she sought the power of rebirth.

    The exclusive light cone “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever” is like an unreachable beam of light, penetrating the deepest darkness in Feng Jin’s heart. Its growth requires the accumulation of countless fragments, just like she pieced herself together in loneliness, trying to make this light her last watch. The light cone is not only a symbol of strength, but also a silent cry, a projection of her lonely soul.

    The breakthrough from level 20 to level 70 is a microcosm of her falling and standing up again and again in the long river of time. Every step of improvement is inseparable from the accumulation of fragments of fear, courage and glory. Credit points are like the many scars she has experienced, precipitated into a testimony of growth. She seeks completeness in brokenness and waits for dawn in darkness.

    The trace material is the footnote of her life trajectory. Those seeds of thought, manas sprouts, and Alaya, like the fragmented thoughts in her heart, slowly grow and fill her emptiness. Those echoes of the same wish and the footprints of fate are her dialogue with the lonely railway of the Star Dome Railway, and are her expectations and beliefs that she has never given up.

    Feng Jin’s story is a low-pitched poem and a narrative about loneliness and struggle. She uses her fragile body to withstand the erosion of time, and uses her tenacious soul to write her own redemption. Her wind is not a gentle caress, but a cold and sharp blade, cutting the illusion of reality, tearing off the appearance, and exposing the silence in her heart.

    As her companion on the journey, we also see our own shadows in her growth. The collection of materials and the efforts to break through are not just numbers in the game, but the understanding and perception of life. Feng Jin’s wind passes through the fog in our hearts, reminding us to face our fears, accept our loneliness, and find our own light.

    May Feng Jin continue to pursue the rainbow light that belongs to her on the journey of the Star Dome Railway, not be swallowed by loneliness, but bloom the purest light in the brokenness. Her story is the most real shadow in the depths of each of our hearts, bringing endless resonance and touching.

  • Starting from the popcorn pot of Ju Fufu, a brief analysis of the philosophical significance of modern game character design

    Speaking of Ju Fufu, the S-level agent from the 2.0 version of “Zero”, we must first admit that she is indeed an interesting existence. Holding a popcorn pot, the fire attribute burst, the rotation dodge, and the series of dazzling skills, it really makes people wonder what the designer wants to express behind this? I think that Ju Fufu’s design is not only for the refreshing battle, but also a metaphor for the philosophical propositions of “individual and group” and “freedom and rules” in modern society.

    1. Popcorn pot: weaponization and absurdity of daily life
    The popcorn pot was originally an ordinary utensil in the kitchen. How did it become Ju Fufu’s weapon? This itself carries a sense of absurdity. Ordinary things in life become weapons to kill enemies, which is very similar to the confusion and struggle of modern people facing the world. The trivialities of daily life are magnified and become “weapons” on the battlefield of life. Isn’t this just like each of us in a complex society, using seemingly ordinary “skills” to fight against unknown challenges?

    The designer used a popcorn pot to create such a set of contrasts: ordinary and powerful, absurd and real. Ju Fufu hits the enemy with a pot, which is not only humorous, but also reflects the creativity and survival wisdom of modern people in helplessness.

    2. The symbolic meaning of fire attribute: the binary opposition of passion and destruction
    Fire, this element has always been a symbol of contradiction in literature and philosophy. It can both warm and destroy. Ju Fufu’s fire attribute skills are the best expression of this duality. Her flame is both a tool for fighting and an externalization of emotions.

    The duality of fire symbolizes the mental state of modern people: passion burns, and the heart desires freedom and expression; at the same time, this power may also bring harm and even self-destruction. Ju Fufu’s flame reminds people of the complex emotions in society that struggle between expression and repression.

    3. Spin dodge and high-speed rotation: the collision of free will and mechanical laws
    Ju Fufu’s dodge skill is not only a simple action, it also includes the design of tap-to-start and long-press to enter high-speed rotation. This seemingly free-switching skill actually implies the struggle of individuals in a mechanized society.

    Spinning symbolizes the melody of freedom, while dodging is the act of dodging. In game design, spinning and dodging brings a flexible combat experience, but at the philosophical level, it also reflects the helplessness of modern people trying to avoid various rules and restrictions through free will in a high-speed social machine.

    She looks for space in spinning and struggles in spinning, which is very similar to the contradictory mentality of each of us when facing systems and rules in life: wanting to break through, but being bound.

    4. Heat system: a reflection of emotional management and capital logic
    The “heat” system in the game is the core value of Ju Fufu’s skills. When accumulated to a certain level, powerful skills will burst out. On the surface, this is a numerical mechanism designed purely for games, but when you think about it carefully, it is very similar to the accumulation and outbreak of emotions in modern society.

    “Heat” symbolizes people’s inner energy. In real life, we are also accumulating various emotional pressures – work pressure, interpersonal relationships, and trivial matters in life. When these pressures accumulate to a certain point, they will appear in the form of an explosion, sometimes as a creative passion, sometimes as an explosion of anxiety.

    In addition, “heat” also metaphorically represents the concept of “resource accumulation” in the logic of capital: only when a certain amount of capital is accumulated can greater action be launched. The skill design of Ju Fufu cleverly combines the dual meanings of emotional management and economic operation.

    V. Team linkage skills: game and collaboration between individuals
    Ju Fufu is not only a solo dancer, she also needs to work together with her teammates. Her “linking skills” and “support skills” design show the subtle relationship between individuals and groups.

    Modern society emphasizes teamwork, but there are often hidden interests in cooperation. Ju Fufu’s linking skills can not only enhance the damage of teammates, but also trigger additional pursuit support, which reflects how individuals enhance overall effectiveness through collaboration. But at the same time, the conditions and restrictions for launching skills also imply the rules and constraints in teamwork.

    This design reflects the complex interpersonal network in modern society: cooperation is needed, but conflicts and constraints are inevitable.

    6. Skill level improvement and additional abilities: the dialectic of growth and ideals
    As Ju Fufu’s skill level increases, he can unlock more abilities, such as additional damage from wound effects and guaranteed critical hits from combo skills. This growth mechanism simulates the growth process of individuals in real life very well.

    Growth is not only the accumulation of abilities, but also the reconciliation of the contradiction between ideals and reality. The progressive level of Ju Fufu’s skills reflects that while people pursue their ideals, they must accept the limitations and compromises of reality. Her growth path is like a curve that constantly breaks through herself but struggles within the rules.

    7. The cultural meaning behind the design: the combination of modern aesthetics and narrative
    Ju Fufu’s design combines hot visual effects with complex numerical mechanisms, reflecting the aesthetic trend of modern game design – pursuing both stimulating visual impact and focusing on the depth of the system. Behind this design is the dual demand of contemporary culture for “fast pace” and “deep experience”.

    On a philosophical level, Ju Fufu is a symbol, a microcosm of the fast pace and deep-seated contradictions in modern life. The popcorn pot on her body, the rotating flames, and the accumulated heat all point to the philosophical proposition of how individuals in a complex society can find their own position.

    8. Conclusion: Ju Fufu is not only a game character, but also a mirror
    Ju Fufu, the girl holding a popcorn pot and covered in flames, may be the epitome of our era. She tells us that the seemingly absurd things in life actually carry profound philosophical meanings: individual freedom, emotional management, and the relationship between people and society.

    Her flames illuminate the absurdity of reality and ignite the hope in her heart. In this fast-moving and complex world, everyone is Ju Fufu, using their own “popcorn pot” to spin and dodge, looking for their own piece of fire.

  • Ju Fufu holds a popcorn pot and searches for his own wonderful world in the flames

    That day, Ju Fufu, like usual, held her ordinary but extraordinary popcorn pot in her hand. She walked into the battlefield surrounded by flames, and the firelight reflected her calm face, as if she was not fighting, but exploring something deeper.

    1. The rhythm of ordinary attacks is like the four beats of life
    Ju Fufu’s attacks are divided into four sections, each of which is like the repeated rhythm of life, with a beginning, a continuation, a climax, and an end. The first section of the attack is light, like the first ray of sunshine in the morning; the second section follows closely, with a bit of strength and firmness; the third section of the slash combo is the kind of impulse that makes it difficult to stop, like the restless restlessness in the heart; the fourth section slowly ends, like the breeze at night, bringing a brief calm.

    In her attack, “heat” is like an invisible ruler, silently recording her efforts and state of mind, and also determines how far she can go in this world.

    2. Dodge and Spin: Escape and Self-Reshaping
    Her dodge is not a simple avoidance, but a poetic sense of flow. Fast sprint is her escape from reality, and spinning slash is like finding balance in disorder. The flames splashing during the rotation are like scattered stars, flickering in the dark, which is both chaotic and beautiful.

    This rotation makes her feel a wonderful freedom, and also makes her understand that in this chaotic world, only by constantly reshaping herself can she move forward.

    3. Special skills dreamlike flame dance
    The special skill is waving a spatula, and the flames rise, which is like a dance in a dream. The heat of the flames keeps rising, and the damage of the blows is also changing. Her movements are never monotonous, but she finds a changing rhythm in repetition, which is very similar to the ever-changing state in life.

    The popcorn exploding in the flames is both a symbol of joy and a fragile existence. They bloom and disappear in an instant, just like those fleeting moments and memories.

    4. Linkage and support skills: Silent response between people
    Ju Fufu’s linkage skills are the embodiment of the tacit understanding between her and her teammates. Opening the lid to spray fire and continuous attack, these actions seem simple, but they hide the unspoken trust between each other. She uses fire to warm her teammates and dispel loneliness.

    When supporting skills, her movements are gentle but firm: blocking attacks, helping teammates to parry, and adding slashes. These seemingly ordinary actions are her response to the world, and are silent dialogues and protection between people.

    5. The symbolic meaning of the heat of core skills
    The popcorn pot leaves continuous attacks, and the accumulated heat is not only a manifestation of strength, but also more like the precipitation of time. When the heat exceeds 100, the linkage skills that are automatically triggered will bring gains to teammates, which is very similar to those seemingly insignificant details in life that accumulate into huge changes.

    The increase in critical damage in the fiery state symbolizes the hope that blooms in despair and the energy that explodes in silence.

    6. Hidden meanings in imagery
    Instantly gaining heat on the battlefield, high temperature added to combo skills, and ignoring resistance with finishing skills, these designs are like dream symbols written by Murakami, blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Behind each number and effect, there are undercurrents and stories in the character’s heart.

    Tachibana Fufu’s battle is an interweaving of dreams and reality, and a process of how a person finds himself in a chaotic world.

    7. Conclusion: Loneliness and warmth in the flame
    Tachibana Fufu and her popcorn pot are the watchers in that wonderful world. Flames are both her weapons and her friends, bringing warmth and burning loneliness.

    Her attacks and skills are a response to the world and a confirmation of her own existence. The flames dance in her hands, like countless tiny hopes, flickering in the darkness.

    And we may all find our own light and warmth in Tachibana Fufu’s story.

  • In the flames of the sorghum field, she uses the pot to express the heat and stubbornness of life

    The sorghum turns red and withers, the sorghum field weathers and blows away. Ju Fufu appeared on such a land. She is not a peasant woman in the countryside, but has the tenacity of the land. She shook her “popcorn pot” and the flames spread. The sound is like the roar of wild beasts in the wilderness and the hum of the fire in the countryside at night.

    Her ordinary attack is not a surging windmill, but a knife-by-knife attack on daily life. The four-stage continuous slash is like the rhythm of fighting against wind and rain in the sorghum field: the first stage is steady; the second stage is strong; the third stage is explosive; the fourth stage is a cry that breaks out in the heart, and the pot is her knife. The sound of the knife is the crispest jingle in the silence, and it is also telling herself: “I am still here!”

    The wind in the sorghum field presses and blows from time to time, and Ju Fufu’s dodge is like dancing in the wind. Press lightly, sprint, and then upgrade to “hot rotation”, she rotates between wind and fire. Just like footprints in the mud in the rain, she walked through the mud holding the pot, not for winning, but for living cleanly. She did not run away, but danced a dance that only the land could understand: her feet were not stained with mud, and her heart was not crushed by the heaviness.

    Her fire attribute skill is a warm local accent. The rising “heat” can make people feel the heat wave just by thinking about it. The flames in the pot tore through the silence. It was not forced, but the wildfire burning in her heart. The indescribable atmosphere in the village was half free and half suppressed – her fire was an outlet for that atmosphere and a belief buried deep in the soil.

    There is also the “linking skill”, like the people in the village working together to build a roof frame. She opened the pot, the fire flashed, and the people around her immediately knew: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” The teammates received “pursuit support” and used a pot as a bamboo stick for skewers, but cut off the enemy’s haze at the critical moment. This is not the lonely courage of a lone ranger, but the response of the village to the loyalty of neighbors. You may not share her weight, but you are willing to light the pot together.

    The double-stage fall of the finishing move is the posture she has knelt in the mud, and it declares to the world: “I am still here.” The pot hits the ground, the mud splashes, and the sparks rise. It not only hits the enemy, but also wakes herself up. You think it is an attack, but it is actually her talking to herself: you will still stand up, still burn, and still persist.

    Those support skills, such as “parry support” and “quick support”, are like the benches under the big tree in the village. When others fall, she will catch them. She doesn’t have lofty and generous words, but her pot speaks for her. You want her to help, but not because she wants to thank you, but because she knows that the wind will come again, and someone needs to sit back by the stove and drink a bowl of hot soup.

    The most intriguing thing is the core skill: the pot still attacks automatically when she leaves. Just like when you leave home, the fire in the stove is not extinguished and the smoke from the cooking is still waiting to be burned. She may be gone, but her light and heat still remain in the village. That is a kind of life wisdom: some people may not be present, but the warmth left behind is enough to keep others alive.

    Imagery, that is a series of life images. The moment you enter the battlefield, the heat is set; under high temperature, everyone can enjoy her heat; skill level +2, that is, after despising the complexity of the world, she said “I will be stronger”; the “wound” effect is the pain of ants flying into the instep of the foot in the countryside – small, but sobering. Every setting is like the context in the land, recording her growth: not only she survived, but also every smoke and fire in the countryside was lit by her.

    Ju Fufu’s pot is not a cooking utensil, but more like a ritual. Working day and night and carrying the fire is the grandeur she wrote with ordinary. Who said that the countryside doesn’t tell stories? She can boil the stories with a pot of fire and boil them into people’s hearts. The crackling of the flames is like the chirping of cicadas, and like children running around in the village, with a kind of fearlessness and tenacity.

    She is not a hero, just a ray of fire. But the fire can illuminate the night, dispel loneliness, and warm the haze in people’s hearts. She is so sincere and warm because the land has taught her: “Hotness will burn, and softness can only be blown away by the wind.”

    After the last blow, there are still flames in the dust raised by the pot lid. She lowered the flames, but still felt that the world was not warm enough – so she lit the next furnace. Because she knew that the real heat is not in the outbreak, but in the continuation – like the straw on the land decaying into fertilizer, and growing vigorously again next year.

    Her life is a highly muddy but fiery journey. The wind in the sorghum field will grow old, but the heat in the pot she lit is enough to pass on to passers-by. Just like the lights on the village streets that night, the wisp of smoke contains the dignity and warmth of human life.

  • Glimpse the loneliness and tenacity of modern people under the flaming popcorn pot

    Ju Fufu, a girl holding a popcorn pot, spins and sprays flames, like a flame dancer in a storm. In the world of Zero, she uses this seemingly funny weapon to resist the enemy and protect herself. Her battle is a war without gunpowder. Simple, cold, but full of power. Just like modern people facing the endless pressure and loneliness of life, only by spinning and persisting can they not be knocked down.

    1. Popcorn pot: extraordinary in the ordinary

    This popcorn pot was originally just an ordinary utensil in the kitchen, but it became a sharp blade and flamethrower in Ju Fufu’s hands. Just like ordinary people use their limited means to face seemingly invincible difficulties. There are no vigorous heroes in life, only you and me who pick up the tools around us and fight silently.

    The pot body shines with metallic luster, like a hard armor, protecting her fragile heart. At the moment of the flame spray, it seems that anger and anxiety are released, but it also burns herself. The popcorn pot is her shield and her sword.

    2. Four-stage combo: the rhythm of life and the rhythm of battle
    The four-stage attack of Ju Fufu is clear in rhythm, neat in action, and each attack is precise. It is like a person who is cautious in life, calculating every step, and can neither make mistakes nor relax. Repeating day after day, it is like a mechanical rhythm, without fancy, only practical.

    These four combos are not only combat skills, but also a portrayal of her inner world. Life taught her to keep the rhythm in suffering, not to be impatient, and keep moving forward. Every hit is a response to life, and every swing carries the expectation for the future.

    3. Spin and dodge: perseverance in loneliness
    Ju Fufu’s spin and dodge is invincible. She spins, surrounded by flames, but also like struggling to protect herself in a lonely space. Spinning is not only a means of fighting, but more like an escape, a resistance to the pressure of reality.

    She spins and dodges attacks, but she can’t get rid of the anxiety in her heart. The invincible state brought by the rotation is her ultimate expression of self-protection. Rotation is her loneliness and her tenacity.

    4. Flame Special Skill: Passion and the Edge of Self-Destruction
    When Ju Fufu releases the flame, the whole world is engulfed by the scorching flame. This flame is her inner passion and her pain. The flame is ruthless, but beautiful, just like the suffering and hope of life intertwined.

    This flame skill cannot be interrupted, symbolizing her persistence in her beliefs. No matter how turbulent the outside world is, she must burn herself and illuminate the way forward. The flame is not only an attack, but also a salvation, and a new life after burning.

    5. Teamwork: Dependence and Challenges in Modern Society
    Ju Fufu is not fighting alone. Her joint skills and support skills reflect the importance of teamwork. In modern society, the connection between individuals is becoming increasingly close, but it is also full of friction and challenges.

    Her support skills are encouragement and protection for her partners. Just as people seek dependence and trust in complex relationships, Ju Fufu warms his teammates with flames and protects the team with spatulas. Collaboration is a battle and a compulsory course in life.

    6. Heat mechanism: accumulation and outbreak of emotions
    The heat value is like the accumulation of emotions, gradually increasing, and finally causing a flame to burst. Ju Fufu’s flame attack depends on heat, symbolizing how people’s inner pressure and passion accumulate and eventually turn into the power of action.

    This mechanism truly reflects the mental state of modern people. The outbreak of emotions is both dangerous and a breakthrough. Ju Fufu uses heat to control the flame, just as we use emotions to drive life.

    7. Resistance and bonus: growing up in the tempering
    Ju Fufu’s resistance to fire attributes and wound bonus show her tenacity in growing up in the hardships. Flame is both a harm and a source of power. She has learned to use the environment and also endures pain.

    This is a balance, symbolizing how modern people can find the wisdom of survival in adversity. The coexistence of wounds and strength is a lesson taught to us by life.

    8. Conclusion: The flame under the popcorn pot and the fire in the human heart
    Ju Fufu uses a popcorn pot to spin, dodge, and attack in the flames. Her fight is a fight against reality and a reflection of her inner loneliness. The flame is pain and hope.

    In this spinning flame, we see the tenacity and fragility of modern people’s hearts. No matter how difficult life is, we are like Ju Fufu, using the limited “pot” in our hands to ignite the inextinguishable fire in our hearts and keep moving forward.

  • From the complexity of Mingchao Xiakong’s materials to the subtle influence of game mechanisms on players’ psychology

    Mingchao is a dazzling new star in the current game industry. Xiakong, a new five-star resonator, is like a carefully planned art performance, with complex materials and ingenious designs like chess. The various materials required, such as low-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores, medium-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores, and even burning phosphorus bones and golden wool, all reveal the game designers’ precise grasp and subtle control of players’ psychology. The article aims to analyze how the hidden game mechanisms behind these complex materials subtly affect the behavior and mentality of players.

    Xiakong’s materials are summarized and the number is amazing. 29 low-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores, 40 medium-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores, 52 high-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores and 61 full-frequency tidal eclipse sail cores are like a group of notes, composing a symphony of player growth. Special materials such as burning phosphorus bones and golden wool are the finishing touches, giving the game mystery and challenges. Such complex development requirements are far from a simple accumulation of numbers, but a mental trap carefully arranged by the designers – in the game of desire and patience, players are invisibly guided to a deeper immersion.

    First, the hierarchical progression from low frequency to full frequency tidal sail core is like the gradual increase of life experience. The initial low frequency is like a young boy, simple and easy to obtain; the high frequency and even full frequency are like a wise man who has seen the world and is difficult to obtain easily. This layer-by-layer progression not only satisfies the players’ gradually increasing sense of achievement, but also builds a barrier of difficulty invisibly, prompting players to invest more time and energy. This design is actually a dose of “psychological orientation medicine”, which makes people willing to pay for the game like long-term labor in reality.

    The acquisition of the burning phosphorus bone is quite symbolic of the sighing ancient dragon. The name of the sigher itself carries a bit of sadness and helplessness, and players need to pay sweat and even frustration to fight for this thing, just like the struggle and pain in the pursuit of life. The scarcity and purchase restrictions of the Golden Fleece reproduce the limited and competitive resources in modern society. Players replicate the contradictions and conflicts of real life in this virtual world.

    In terms of the development of special weapons, it reveals the meaning of “discipline” in the capital game. The level progression from simple to special shackles is not only a test of the player’s patience, but also like shackles, symbolizing the limitation of the player’s freedom. The high demand for high-purity crystallized phlogiston and the expenditure of massive shells all show the real allegory of “resources are power”. Players want to get powerful equipment, only to pay more. This process deeply reflects the universal law of “benefits and sacrifices” in modern society.

    Talking about the complexity of the resonance circuit material, it covers the four-level advancement of crystallized phlogiston and the rare challenge of “iris blooming day”, which is actually the designer’s test of the player’s patience. If players want to shape the summer sky to the peak, they must wear down their will in day-to-day challenges, which not only satisfies the desire for achievement, but also has to face the long and boring. This kind of “pain and happiness” design undoubtedly strengthens the stickiness of the game and the players’ sense of dependence.

    In addition, the special “stuffed meat tofu” buff effect in the game, although it gives players convenience on the surface, actually prompts players to intensively brush materials within a limited time, strengthening the sense of urgency of time and anxiety about resources. This design technique is nothing less than a microcosm of “efficient anxiety” in modern life, reflecting the rapid and fragmented rhythm of contemporary society.

    The setting of recharge discounts and discount codes is the key bridge for the conversion of real currency and virtual currency. Players pay real money to improve the game experience in exchange for growth and pleasure in the game. This behavior is both a self-investment and obedience to the game mechanism. The discounts on the Treabar platform are considerate, but they are also a means to maximize commercial interests. While enjoying the convenience, players have to be coerced by the capital game.

    Overall, the complex material system of Mingchao Xiakong is by no means a simple game development strategy, but an exquisite psychological battle. Designers successfully bring players into a cycle of “investment equals expenditure” through progressive material requirements, the creation of scarce resources, the setting of time pressure, and the guidance of the monetary system. In this cycle, players experience the construction of self-worth and also feel the invisible constraints of consumerism.

    This is the double-edged sword of contemporary game design: it not only stimulates players’ desire to participate and sense of accomplishment, but also makes them fall into the complex exchange of “material-time-money”. Mingchao Xiakong is the product of the fusion of this era spirit and game mechanism. It brings players not only the fun of fighting and adventure, but also the metaphor and reflection of modern social culture.

    If we can clear the fog behind the accumulation of materials and see the ingenuity of designers and the struggle of players, we may be able to more deeply understand the invisible boundary between games and reality, and the role played by humans in it.

  • Feng Jin’s loneliness is like the old times, her heart grows in a corner that no one cares about

    Feng Jin never thinks she is special. She is like an unnoticed little flower in the corner of the city, low-key, gentle, but no one cares about her. Her life is like fallen leaves scattered on the street, and she doesn’t know when she will fall from the tree, nor when she will be blown away by the wind. She doesn’t seem to be important in this world, and she has never been noticed. But she doesn’t care. Maybe, to some extent, she has become accustomed to not being seen.

    Her eyes always gently sweep across the streets outside the window, neither hurried nor slow. Those vehicles and pedestrians shuttled in a hurry, as if they were eager to rush for some goal. Feng Jin could see that these people were busy pursuing their own lives, but she didn’t seem to be in a hurry to welcome the future. She thought that she had always been such a person, not hurried, not slow, quietly living every day, like a bystander of time.

    “Fear crushes flesh and blood.” This world is full of too much fear. Feng Jin has long understood that fear does not come from external pressure, but something in her heart. Her fear was not that she was forced into a dead end by a threat, but that she was at a loss. She was afraid that she was not good enough, that her efforts would not be recognized, and that all her efforts would come to nothing over a long period of time. Her fear was deeply rooted in her heart, like an untouchable thorn.

    She often doubted herself and whether her choice was correct. Those who shined on the glamorous stage had clear goals and firm determination, but she was just an ordinary person who went with the flow. She never thought about changing the world, or even changing herself. She did not live a wonderful life, and could even be said to be mediocre. But this mediocrity became her only way of existence.

    “Courage tore the chest.” She did not know what courage was. She had seen too many brave people, and saw them fight for their ideals and pay for love, but she herself had never ignited that great emotion in her heart. It was not that she had no dreams, but those dreams were always as fine as sand, and they always slipped away when she grabbed them. She felt that her courage did not come from fighting for a certain goal, but from the softness that could not be defeated by life. Her courage lies in that no matter how stormy life is, she can stand quietly in the wind and wait for the next calm.

    “Glory baptizes the body.” Feng Jin did not understand the meaning of the word glory. Glory seemed to be something that did not belong to her. She never pursued the halo of the outside world. She knew that she could never be the hero surrounded by people. She did not envy those complacent people. She would rather immerse herself in her own little world, even if this world seemed lonely. In her opinion, glory is a kind of nothingness that is destined to be worn out by time. What she pursues is just a stable life.

    She thought, maybe this is the gap between her and the world. She stood on the edge of life, watching those people walk by her, walking fast and far. And she still stood there, quietly watching her shadow lengthen little by little. She was not as eager as those people, nor was she as eager for a destination as those people. She was just used to waiting and doing nothing. Perhaps, her life is destined to be like this, quietly passing by without being remembered by anyone.

    “Thoughts are seeds, and manas sprouts.” Everything in Feng Jin’s life seems so simple. She has no complicated goals, no profound ideals. She only hopes to find something that belongs to her in this world. Whether it is a book, a cup of tea, or a quiet afternoon, she can find some comfort in it. She doesn’t have too many dreams, and she hasn’t even thought about whether she can make a difference at a certain stage in her life. She just lives quietly in her own little world, and occasionally, in the dead of night, she thinks about some questions she has never thought about.

    “Footprints of fate.” Feng Jin never thinks that fate is a question worth thinking about. She knows that she has no ability to change anything, let alone control her own life. She is just an ordinary person, like all those who are pushed by fate, walking towards an invisible goal. She knows that the trajectory of fate has been planned for her, and the only thing she can do is to follow it and go on until she reaches the end. No matter what the result is, she can no longer turn back.

    This is Feng Jin’s life, simple, ordinary, and even lonely. She has never risked her life to pursue anything, nor has she given up on herself to escape from anything. Her life has no dramatic climax, nor twists and turns. She is like an inconspicuous little flower, quietly blooming in a corner, although no one sees her beauty. She has no gorgeous dreams, nor a glorious past. All her choices seem to be made in just a moment, and then quietly disappear in the long river of time.

    Her existence may be so simple. Everything passed peacefully in that dusk that no longer flows. And she always stands in her original position, quietly watching the world, as if everything has nothing to do with her.

  • Discussing the irony and metaphor of the mental state of modern people from the skill of Ju Fufu’s Popcorn Pot

    Mr. Qian Zhongshu is famous for his profound learning, witty writing and humorous irony. His works are exquisitely written, and often reveal the various aspects of life in details. Today, we will try to talk about Ju Fufu’s distinctive “Popcorn Pot” skill in Absolute Zone Zero, and use it to look at the mental state of modern people and appreciate the irony and metaphor contained in this game setting.

    Ju Fufu’s ordinary attack action is a three-stage combo, and the action is coherent and fast, just like the busy life of people in the secular world day after day. The three-stage continuous attack seems to coincide with the reality that life is difficult but has to move forward, as if it is the mechanical labor of people in the city-one hammer after another, hammering the predetermined fate. At this moment, the “popcorn pot” is no longer a cooking utensil, but a symbol of spirit, silently carrying the hard work and expectations of countless people.

    The design of the “imbalance” value attached to the attack cleverly implies the fragility and subtlety of social relations. The accumulation of imbalance is like the roller coaster of modern people’s emotions, which will cause waves at the slightest disturbance. Social pressure is like the imbalance value, gradually accumulating until it explodes. The complex interpersonal relationships and emotional entanglements described by Qian Zhongshu in “Fortress Besieged” are just like this: people wander in the “Fortress Besieged”, facing the danger of imbalance at all times, but they have no choice but to compromise and cater to it.

    Ju Fufu’s dodge design is short-press invincible sprint, long-press high-speed rotation, just like the two ways modern people deal with pressure. Short-press escapers are “head-down tribes” who temporarily retreat under the pressure of reality; long-press rotation is a symbol of inner anxiety and resistance, as if they are struggling to find self-salvation in the repetitive life day after day. This “duality” is a common trait of Qian Zhongshu’s characters: they want to survive steadily and desire self-breakthrough.

    The design of the “heat” mechanism is full of meaning. The rising heat seems to represent the increasingly anxious emotions in people’s hearts, like ants on a hot pot, the harder they resist, the harder it is to calm down. Ju Fufu’s continuous attack accumulates heat, representing the tense state of modern people in a highly stressful society. When emotions accumulate to the critical point, they are inevitably out of control. Qian Zhongshu once said in his prose, “Life is like food in a pot, and you know whether it is hot or cold.” This is exactly reflected here.

    The flame rotation of the popcorn pot in the enhanced special skill is nothing less than a spiritual eruption. Flame symbolizes passion, anger and resistance. Ju Fufu’s skill enhancement is like the vitality that occasionally bursts out of modern people, finding a sense of existence and freedom in mechanical repetition. Qian Zhongshu also described the spiritual world of people as “tangled”, and only when it is accidentally untangled can its mystery and beauty be seen.

    The joint skills and finishing skills highlight the necessity of teamwork and the isolation of individuals. Ordinary joint protection of teammates implies the invisible dependence and watchfulness between people in real life; the finishing skills are the ultimate expression of individual explosion, which not only highlights personal strength, but also reveals loneliness and helplessness. Qian Zhongshu is good at depicting the complex entanglements between people. This tension of “dependence and isolation” is just like the epitome of the society in his writing.

    The support skills of quick support and parry support are not dazzling, but extremely important. They are like those ignored silent contributors in life, supporting the entire system. Qian Zhongshu often has high hopes for these “little people” in his works, believing that they are the real backbone of society.

    The core skill “popcorn pot automatic attack” brings continuous flame attacks, which symbolizes persistent efforts in life. Ju Fufu does not need to do it himself all the time, but can still output steadily, just like those people who are inconspicuous but struggle for a long time in life. Qian Zhongshu’s humor is full of praise for “unknown heroes”, which is exactly his spiritual portrayal.

    In the imagery shadow skill, the flames are constantly dancing, which means both destruction and purification and rebirth. Ju Fufu dances in the flames, as if interpreting the impermanence and hope of life. In Qian Zhongshu’s writing, the world is like a play, life is like a dream, and only by finding a ray of light in the chaos can there be meaning in living.

    In summary, Ju Fufu’s skills are not just game settings, but also a mirror reflecting the mental state of modern people. It reveals the way modern people struggle with pressure and anxiety, and also shows the tenacity and humor in human nature. If Mr. Qian Zhongshu were alive, he might laugh at such a design, lamenting the fickleness of the world, while still not forgetting to ridicule the various aspects of the world.

  • 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.
