  • Drawing cards is like a bowl of hot noodle soup

    As the night deepened, the wind gently blew past the window. The street lights were sparse, and occasionally one or two figures walked through the alley. I sat at the table and looked through the window. It seemed as if I had returned to those early mornings, when the sun shone on the dirt road of the town, quiet and gentle.

    At this time, the screen of the mobile phone lit up, and I gently pinched it, like touching an ancient bronze artifact. The game has been updated to version 4.0. I heard that the Guardian of the Rock has reappeared. Everyone is talking about this character. Although I am not a hardcore player, I always have some slight expectations in my heart, as if I am looking forward to a long-lost comfort.

    I think maybe this is also a kind of fun in life, like going to a small bookstore in the town when I was young, picking a book, gently turning a few pages, looking at the cover, and looking at the paper in the book. That kind of mood is neither anxious nor a waste of time, but just immersed in the process and slowly experiencing it.

    So, I opened the card drawing page, and the screen was shining with golden light, just like the yellowed banknotes and old clocks in the antique shops in the old days, which always made people feel a little unreal, but they had to be attracted by it.

    Ten consecutive, twenty consecutive, thirty consecutive… As I drew, I thought, if I could draw this so-called rock guardian, it would be nice. Like the owner of the snack bar in the town, he would give me a jar of homemade pickles every autumn, and the taste was always familiar and warm. Life, it seems, should be so simple and beautiful.

    And the process of drawing cards is like drinking a bowl of old street noodles cooked from morning to night, with rich soup and smooth noodles. The mechanism of drawing cards also seems to have some of this truth. It is not achieved overnight, and you must be patient. Time goes by, the card still hasn’t arrived, and the mood has not changed. I thought to myself, maybe this is life, patience and persistence always bring rewards.

    The fortieth draw, still no golden light. Suddenly, the screen of my mobile phone seemed to be electrocuted, and a strange feeling popped out. Then, golden light sprinkled out, just like the autumn sunshine shining into the hut, and the golden light gradually surrounded my sight.

    Finally, the name popped out. It was not the Guardian of Rock that I expected, but it also had a similar taste. Although this character was not my original choice, it also made people smile. This situation seemed to be a certain morning when I stood in front of a roadside stall and bought a bottle of drink I had never tasted before. The taste was not bad, but I always felt that it lacked a little bit of the expected taste.

    I sat back in the chair and sighed softly. Over the years, whether it was drawing cards or doing anything, it seemed to be always like this. What you can’t get is always unforgettable, but what you get in the end is often unexpected. Life is just like this. Between gains and losses, there is an indescribable taste.

    I closed the card drawing interface, put down my phone, stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the quiet night. There are still people walking on the street, and occasionally a few cars pass by, and the lights shine on the ancient brick and stone road, just like the nights when I was young.

    The result of the card draw seems to be no longer so important. What is important is that at that moment, I live quietly and plainly in this city. Life is like a bowl of noodles. You don’t have to pursue special tastes, but it can fill your lonely stomach and warm your heart.

    I smiled, gently closed the window, walked back to the table, and sat down quietly. The outside world is still busy and noisy, but I am still immersed in my own little world, slowly savoring this peace that belongs to me.

  • Teyvat 4.1: Metaphors and Variations of Elements and Society

    The world of Teyvat is like an intricate social model. In this virtual continent, every version update is a rearrangement of power, identity and relationship. The launch of version 4.1 is not only an upgrade of the game mechanism, but also a profound change in the social structure, which reflects the eternal pursuit of order, freedom and belonging.

    In this update, the appearance of Neuvilet as the new protagonist of the water system is quite symbolic. His cold and pure power is very similar to those groups in society who insist on self-expression on the margins. Water is fluid and inclusive, but also has strong penetration and permeability. Neuvilet’s skills reflect the people who wander in the power structure. They do not confront directly, but use softness to overcome hardness and quietly influence the surrounding environment. Such power is both gentle and cannot be ignored, representing a non-violent way of change.

    Walnut, the representative of the fire system, is the embodiment of another social force. Flame symbolizes passion, conflict and destruction, but also represents rebirth and rebirth. Her existence is like a pioneer group that dares to challenge tradition and break the rules. Her explosive power and high risk echo the voice of radicals in social change, reminding us that progress is often accompanied by uncertainty and risk. Fire can illuminate the darkness, but it can also burn down the sheltered home. Walnut’s role shows the existence of fierce contradictions in society and how these contradictions drive the wheels of history.

    Roy Astley, an ice character, symbolizes the power of reason and rules. The calmness and hardness of ice represent the stability and norms of the social system. His skills embody control and protection, suggesting that the maintenance of social order requires a calm force to balance various interests. Although ice is hard, it is fragile, reminding us that no system is eternal and needs to be constantly adjusted to adapt to the development of society. Roy Astley’s role reminds players that rules and order are both protection and restraint.

    Wendy, the messenger of the wind, carries the image of freedom and flow. The invisible and elusive wind symbolizes the promotion of individual free will and the integration of multiple cultures in society. The crowd control and rhythm control he brings reflect the delicate balance between freedom and order. Wind can bring fresh air and also cause storms. The role of Wendy implies that freedom is not boundless, but needs to dance in harmony with the overall rhythm of society.

    The combination of these four elements is just like the interaction of different forces in society. The tolerance of water, the passion of fire, the rationality of ice, and the freedom of wind interweave a complex and rich network of social relations. When each player manipulates these characters, he is actually experiencing the interaction process between different social roles and forces, and reflects the multi-dimensional face of human society through the game.

    In addition, the “Treabar” platform in the game, as an intermediary for character and equipment transactions, reflects the intermediary mechanism of economic activities in modern society. It provides a variety of payment options, ensures the security and convenience of transactions, and reflects the importance of trust and flow in the market economy. Through this platform, players not only obtain virtual items, but also experience the complex process of resource allocation and value exchange in society.

    The version launched on September 27 opened up new maps and plots, which is not only an expansion of game content, but also an extension of social experience. The new geographical environment and storyline provide players with a more diverse social relationship model, enriching the interaction and identity recognition between characters. In the process of exploration, players are not only completing tasks, but also participating in a practice of identity recognition, power distribution and social adaptation.

    Looking at the 4.1 version update, it not only provides technical and content improvements, but also reflects the structure and changes of human society more deeply. The game has become a microcosm of sociology, and the characters and stories carry thoughts on power, freedom, identity and change. The choices and interactions of players in the virtual world reflect the values ​​and social relations in the real society.

    This is the subtle connection between the virtual world and the real society. Through the game, we are not only entertaining, but also participating in an exploration of social structure and understanding of human nature. The 4.1 version of Teyvat is a new chapter in this exploration, waiting for every player to savor and experience it carefully.

  • The Book of Fontaine: Underwater Echoes of Daily Life – Genshin Impact

    It was cloudy the day I arrived at Fontaine. The damp and cold feeling of water vapor and fog in the air was very similar to the scene she described. The water flowed through the edge of the city, brushing against the metal pontoon and stone steps. The tower in the distance had transparent glass windows, flashing dim light under the gray-blue sky. This city is so quiet and almost indifferent, but it hides countless travelers like me who have nowhere to go. I came here to accomplish a certain goal. This idea is so clear, but also so empty. You know, those goals – upgrades, rewards, values, reputation – are all visible reasons. But the real driving force is often those things you can’t say. Like loss, like a blank. Some people say that to activate the daily commission system of Fontaine, you must first complete two main plots. Their names sound like poems: “Prologue to White Dew and Black Tide” and “Light Rain Falling Like No Reason”. I completed them. In the process, I have seen death, judgment and forgiveness. I have also seen the boundless blue deep in the sea, like the deepest hidden place in a person’s heart. This water country is not just a map to me. It is like a mirror that reflects some parts that I have long forgotten. That silence, that waiting. Then, I walked into the branch of the Adventurer’s Association. The woman named Catherine stood behind the counter. Her tone was always calm and emotionless. “You have completed the conditions, and now you can start the world quest of “Adventure Towards the Distance.” I heard my own voice say, “Okay.” After that, daily commissions fell into my daily life like drops of water. Four small things, scattered in various corners of the city and the suburbs. Sometimes it is to find scattered mechanical devices, and sometimes it is to deliver letters for an unknown researcher. They are repetitive and regular, just like my life over the years. Quiet, mechanical, but can’t stop. I began to get used to these tasks. Began to get familiar with the breathing rhythm of this city. The reputation value gradually increased, and I could feel the system’s acceptance of me, a stranger. It was not a warm hug, but a slow and forbearing temperature, like a not-so-bright lamp at night, silently keeping the light for you. Rewards began to appear. Props, drawings, and usage rights. They are exquisite and useful, but they can’t really fill the invisible holes in my heart. You know, there are always some things that cannot be replaced by material things-memories, someone’s voice, and silence after a failure. I was often distracted when performing tasks in Fontaine. I would stop to look at the reflection of a tower in the distance, or a girl sitting alone on a street corner. They don’t talk to me, maybe they are just NPCs in the game, but their quiet existence is very similar to people I once knew. Those who once stood on the edge of my life quietly left when no one noticed. I always think that the so-called reputation is just a way for the city to encode your memory. The more you help it and complete its tasks, the more it remembers you. But such memory is based on function, not emotion. It can be replaced, refreshed and reset. But I still come back every day. Daily commissions are like a kind of ritual for me – establishing order for life and drawing a controllable boundary for the chaos in my heart. It makes me feel that I still have choices and am actively participating in something. Even if it is just to complete a task list. You asked me: “Is it worth it?” I have no way to answer such a question as yours. The word worth is too rational, it tries to measure the reward of an experience. But what I want to say is that I have truly existed in this process. I once heard my heartbeat underwater. After completing a mission, I once stood alone on a stone bridge in the mist, silently watching the light fall into the water. In those moments, I remembered who I was. And that may be the whole reason.
