  • The way to draw cards, a symphony of fate and hope

     

    Since ancient times, the aspirations of people are often unpredictable. Human beings often hesitate between ideals and reality in their dreamlike lives. Today, I entered the virtual world again as usual. The card drawing interface in front of me was like an invisible scroll, waiting for me to depict its fate. On September 5, Zhongli, the guardian of the rock, reappeared, and his long-lost figure immediately aroused endless waves in my heart.

    But as the ancients said: “If I get it, I am lucky, if I don’t, it is my fate.” No matter how many times you try to grasp the fleeting luck, the final result is often caught off guard. Drawing cards, this behavior is just a few flicks of the fingers on the surface, but in fact it affects thousands of hearts and minds. How many people are looking forward to the arrival of that moment of glory, as if looking for the long-lost comfort in life, trying to find a ray of true belonging from the virtual world.

    In this era of vanity and bustle, the passage of time is often obscured by daily trivialities. At this time, the changes brought about by card drawing inadvertently reveal the deep desire and emptiness in people’s hearts. As the saying goes, a hundred years of life is like the flow of water; a moment of card drawing is like a dream. Those resounding recharge numbers seem to be a challenge to fate, as if saying: “I would like to exchange this for an expectation, even if it is only a short moment.”

    The rules of card drawing are also profound. If we talk about its meaning, it is actually a portrayal of gains and losses in life. If you draw eighty to ninety times, you may get Zhongli, but if you are biased and choose other permanent characters, the number of card draws required will double, which seems to imply the impermanence of life. The pace of desire has never stopped, but the flag of reason is always defeated by the subsequent loss. In this game of numbers and fate, who is leading the progress of the game?

    Indeed, although three hundred dollars seems insignificant today, it may be a comfort to the ancients to exchange a little gold and silk for a hope. How can money really buy what one wants? However, people’s hearts are like water and can change direction at any time. The act of recharging seems to be a symbol of challenging fate, but it may also become a compromise of personal will.

    If we look at it from a modern perspective, the recharge system in the game may be regarded as a simple transaction, and for some people, it is also a means to soothe their inner anxiety. In the flow of this little bit of money, there are small but real hopes one after another. Even such a simple act also carries a little vanity and uncertainty, just as every choice in life often contains the interweaving of expectations and confusion.

    However, even if sometimes one is unwilling to give up, the result is not as expected, and the loss becomes a kind of silent enlightenment. Perhaps, this is part of life – in the long river of time, sometimes we can’t get some of the things we like, but this does not mean that we have to stagnate. Every loss is a lesson in life, and every wait is a baptism of life.

    In the process of this card drawing, I felt a profound implication. The game is just a mirror of the human spiritual world, which reflects our expectations of fate and our desire for the unknown. Just like every temptation in life, we can never predict the final outcome, but this process of persistence and pursuit is enough to make us inadvertently realize more of the meaning of life.

    I put down my phone and stared at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, and a deep feeling surged in my heart. Everyone’s life is a card drawing – no one can be sure whether they can get Zhongli, maybe they can only get another ordinary character. But what does it matter? What we are pursuing is not the courage to find ourselves in hope and to hone our way forward in disappointment?

    Destiny is like the process of drawing cards, always full of variables, but amidst these variables, it is still worth our hope and our courageous pursuit.

  • Teyvat version 4.1: The beauty of culture and order in the interweaving of elements

    The 4.1 version update of the world of Teyvat is like a well-designed new wing of a building. New elements and details are cleverly integrated into the overall structure, making this virtual magnificent building richer and more harmonious. Every character and system in the game is like a component and space. They are both independent and mutually dependent, forming a complex and vibrant cultural structure.

    The new water character Neuvilet in this update is like a smart bridge, connecting the ancient water civilization with modern combat needs. His design focuses on both functionality and aesthetics. His swordsmanship is as smooth as water, powerful and clever, just like water flowing through stones, sometimes soft and sometimes turbulent. This design concept reflects a deep understanding of natural elements, just like the introduction and use of water in traditional architecture, which not only regulates the environment, but also gives vitality to the space.

    The fire character Walnut is like a vibrant stove, placed in the center of the space, which is not only the source of light and heat, but also a symbol of the exuberance of spirit and life. Her skill design combines explosiveness and flexibility, similar to the fire sacrifice ceremony in ancient temples, which is both mysterious and warm, bringing players a strong visual and emotional impact. Fire elements are often used in architecture to symbolize purification and rebirth, and Hu Tao’s role embodies this symbolic meaning.

    Roy Asley of the Ice System is like a solid stone tablet, calm and heavy. The cold texture of ice coincides with the stone in the building, giving the structure stability and durability. His control skills are like screens and partitions in the building, which not only separate the space, but also guide the flow line to ensure the order and safety of the overall structure. It is this rationality and perseverance that makes the overall layout more rigorous and balanced.

    Wendy of the Wind System is like a smart window, bringing flowing air and light, and revitalizing the entire space. The wind is invisible but ubiquitous, just like the consideration of ventilation and lighting in the building, which not only improves comfort, but also promotes the circulation and renewal of the environment. Wendy’s group control is similar to the public space in architectural design, which promotes interaction and communication between people.

    The combination of these four characters, like the harmonious unity of structure, function, decoration and environment in a building, embodies the idea of ​​”harmony between man and nature” in ancient and modern architectural concepts. Their elements complement each other and together build a vibrant Teyvat world.

    At the same time, Treabar, a trading platform, is equivalent to a commercial block in a modern city, and is the center of resource circulation and value exchange. It provides players with a convenient trading environment through a variety of payment methods and security guarantees, just like public facilities in a building, supporting the normal operation of the entire ecosystem.

    The version update on September 27 brought new maps and plots, just like the expansion of a new wing in a building, which inherits tradition and incorporates innovation. The new geographical environment and storyline provide more dimensions for players to explore and experience, just like a new block in a city, enriching urban culture and life.

    Overall, this update is not just a superposition of content, but also a careful carving and deepening of the game world. It is like a complex of buildings that blends history and modernity, respecting the essence of elements and embodying the humanistic spirit. Players can not only feel the excitement of battles, but also appreciate the profound culture and the harmony of aesthetics when traveling in it.

    As shown by excellent architectural works, game design also requires rigorous logic and artistic creation. The update of Teyvat version 4.1 is the embodiment of this concept. It makes the virtual world more alive and meaningful, and becomes another space for people’s spiritual habitat.

  • Genshin Impact: Fontaine Daily Commission and Reputation System – In Fontaine, what you encounter is responsibility and growth

     

    When I first stepped into Fontaine, there was a gentle fluctuation in my heart.

    This water country is not as free and unrestrained as Mondstadt, nor is it as heavy and deep as Liyue. It is like a teenager in a neat uniform, quiet, restrained and persistent. There is a moist rationality in the air, as if every water molecule has been educated and knows where to go, no more and no less.

    This is not the first time I have accepted the daily commission of the Adventurer’s Association, but it is the first time that I have experienced an invisible emotional bond in Fontaine.

    Opening the daily commission of Fontaine is not a matter of easy access. You must complete the “Prologue of White Dew and Black Tide” and must also go through “Light Rain Falling Like No Reason”. This sounds like a system setting, but when I walk through it, I can always see some metaphors in my heart between the tasks.

    Those tasks, like conversations during psychological counseling, constantly guide some of your inner emotions and beliefs gently and firmly. Sometimes it is salvation, sometimes it is a choice, and sometimes it is just a short conversation, but it makes you start to reflect: Who are you? Why are you standing here? Do you want to protect the world or the glimmer in your heart?

    Fontaine people don’t talk much, but they do things in an orderly manner. The commission is clear and the logic is strict. Just like a person who has undergone psychological counseling, he is no longer panicked, no longer bluffing, but more powerfully embraces his complex human nature.

    In this process, I gradually understand that daily commissions are not just game designs for brushing rewards. It is like life itself, trivial, repetitive, and requires your tireless dedication. But it is also in this repetition that a sense of stability grows quietly, like a cup of warm water in the morning, which is not hot, but can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs.

    I began to get familiar with the faces in these commissions. The researcher who is always busy repairing equipment, the old man waiting for his relatives to return at the dock, and the small official who delivers official documents every day. They will not say love loudly, but give a sincere “thank you” when you complete the task. That voice hides the recognition of the existence of others, and also hides a small but true trust.

    The reputation system is like a growth record book, marking your steps in Fontaine bit by bit. From level one to level ten, it is not a numerical stacking, but a psychological confirmation again and again-you are not a passerby, you are a participant.

    Every upgrade is like a psychological self-acceptance. You no longer question “Am I good enough?”, you begin to believe “I am needed.” It is a journey from self-doubt to self-affirmation. It happens quietly, but it changes the way you look at the world.

    The rewards given by the system are not only “functional” satisfaction, but also the response of life to you. For example, the “Folding Light Cone” is a projection to the distance in the short reality; the “Water Phantom Identifier” reminds us that to identify good and evil, sometimes we need to rely not only on the eyes but also on the heart.

    I particularly like the “Fontaine Detection Device”, which reminds me of the “projection effect” in psychology – you think you are observing the world, but in fact the world is also reflecting your heart. The more carefully you understand it, the more complete it presents itself.

    Some people say that daily commissions are too repetitive and like a tool to kill time. But I remembered a famous psychological saying: **The real change is not to destroy the old self vigorously, but to slowly build a new self in small persistence. **

    In Fontaine, I do similar things every day, but I slowly accumulate a sense of security and certainty. It is these seemingly boring processes that help me get through the fog in my heart. They are like diary exercises in psychotherapy, allowing you to sort out emotions and confirm values ​​in repetition.

    Days are no longer blank. The completion of each commission is like the insertion of a puzzle, which makes the picture of life gradually approaching completion.

    When I left Fontaine, I could not take away the cold rain in that city, nor the figures of those tasks. But I took away a belief: **People who are willing to take responsibility in daily life can also achieve significance at critical moments. **

    Perhaps, this is the lesson that Fontaine wants to teach us.

    And I am very glad that I did not miss this lesson.
