Under the sky full of bizarre virtual worlds, a trace of desire has been ignited in the hearts of all drifters. It is the dawn of the future brought by the 2.3 version of “Mingchao”, and it is also a surge brought by the appearance of new characters. But like every game update, it is not just a change of form, but more like a provocation and reflection deep in our hearts. Update means the change of roles, which means that the flowing virtual time will become faster and more complicated, and it also means that everything is starting again.
At this moment, standing at the door of the new version and looking into the distance, we saw the figures of Zanni and Xiakong. They are like two lighthouses written by Feng Jicai, attracting those lost drifters. Their arrival is not only to open a new page in the game, but also to give us a long-lost passion for battle and the kind of intoxicating teamwork in the virtual time and space. The addition of each character seems to tell you that life is like this adventure, and everything is full of unforeseen challenges and opportunities.
Zanni is a main C character representing “diffraction”. Like the swordsman in Gu Long’s works, her attacks are swift and deadly. She wears arm armor and travels in every corner of the battlefield. Her appearance is like the light that comes out of the dark night, illuminating those teammates who are hesitating. Every time she releases resonance, it can bring scorching light and turn into an attack with light noise effect. It is silent and can change the trend of the entire battle. And her cooperation with Phoebe is more like a pair of destiny in the game, just like Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu in “Dream of Red Mansions”. They are destined partners, complementing each other’s weaknesses and achieving a stronger power.
And Xia Kong seems to be a bridge between reality and virtuality. With the ability of pneumatic resonance, she is like a dancer in a storm, waving her wind-like agile pistol. Every attack of hers is not only a physical blow, but also a psychological shock. The wind erosion effect she exerted made every enemy unconsciously begin to feel the heaviness and complexity of the battle, as if every blow could make you clearly feel the invisible force fighting against the limit of your body. Her auxiliary ability is not only reflected in the attack, but also achieved tactical victory by controlling the enemy’s movements and enhancing the attack effect of teammates.
Behind all this, in addition to the halo of these two powerful characters, we have to mention a key point in the version update of “Mingchao”-the addition of replica characters. The replica of Rococo and Phoebe seems to be an emotional call to the past. In this adventure full of battles, these two former “heroes” still occupy a unique position. Their reappearance reminds every player that everything in the game is not all new, and every memory is a continuation of the past, just like the past in life, which is difficult to give up, but cannot be erased.
And every update and character addition will make the game itself more full of vitality. These characters are not just tools in the game, but more like another projection of us in this virtual world. In this world full of battles, every player has become his own hero and the fearless warrior. With each update, the hearts of players are quietly changing – from the initial confusion, to gradually integrating into this world, and then to finding their true belonging.
You will find that the virtual door that was originally opened for a short game has gradually become a secret path for you to connect with the world. And this path is not static, it may be broken by new characters and new events at any time. Every update is a test of the soul. It not only requires you to cooperate with other players in the game to overcome various challenges, but also allows you to reflect on the life choices and values that have troubled you for a long time between the light and shadow of the virtual world.
In the game, the virtual characters are constantly changing, and you in reality are still standing in your own world, facing the daily trivialities and troubles. Every battle in the game is a short escape. And when you return to reality from the game, the virtual splendor and the reality of the ordinary always make you feel an indescribable gap. Perhaps, you will suddenly realize at a certain moment that this game is not just to break the emptiness, it is also a profound self-exploration, leading you into a deeper self-thinking.
From Zanni to Xiakong, to Rococo and Phoebe, these characters are not just about endless battles and skills, but also represent different attitudes of players towards life. The addition of each character means a change in attitude towards life, an expectation for the future, or a remembrance of the past. At this moment when virtuality and reality are intertwined, games still affect the inner world of each of us in their own way that cannot be ignored, bringing us endless emotional fluctuations.
