That morning, I opened the window, and the wind blew into the house, gently lifting the pages of the book, and also stirred some ripples in my heart. Yes, we are often entangled in the trivialities of daily life, but forget the promise we once made: “When there is wind, set off together.”
It was at this time that the 2.2 version of “Mingchao” was quietly launched. It was not earth-shattering, nor was it publicized. It just quietly extended on the original path, just like new buds quietly growing on branches in spring. And we, the drifters, also packed our bags again at this moment and prepared to continue on the road.
This time, what moved me the most was the new character-Cantrela. She is not the kind of character that is flamboyant. She has a kind of silent compassion and gentleness. She can summon jellyfish to heal the team in battle and coordinate attacks. Such a setting reminds me of a saying in Zen Buddhism: “Don’t seek happiness for yourself, but wish that all beings can be free from suffering.” Her skills are like a compassionate ship that saves all beings. It doesn’t steal the limelight, but gives the deepest comfort to the team where it needs it most.
Cantrela’s skills also remind me of an old story. According to legend, there was a practitioner in ancient times who could drive away hundreds of ghosts with the power of a palm, but he never showed it actively. He said: “Saving people is not about showing off, but for the purity of the heart.” The same is true for Cantrela. Her coordinated strong attack and spread damage are not eye-catching with high numbers, but they share part of the weight of the battle for you when you are not paying attention.
And this version also has the return of an “old friend” – Chun. Chun is as its name, a flower that still blooms in winter. She holds a swift knife, her steps are as swift as the wind, but her heart is as firm as a mountain. Her calm power does not need too many words, just standing there quietly, it makes people feel at ease. I think every player who has been wandering in the game world for a long time has gone through the most difficult dungeons with her company. Her return is not for surprise, but to awaken a kind of familiarity and trust in our hearts.
The new form of the drifter, “pneumatic”, is a quiet gift. The power of wind has always symbolized flow, freedom and invisible support in Eastern culture. In this version, the wind master can not only heal teammates, but also remove negative states and transform them into “wind erosion effect”. This way of “building up” from “breaking” is like when we encounter difficulties in life, but can be transformed into understanding, growth and tolerance.
What touched me most was that the exclusive weapon of the pneumatic drifter, “Blood Oath Covenant”, can be obtained for free. This weapon is not ostentatious, but it can bring you an increase in healing and resonance skills. It’s like an old friend who hands you a cup of hot tea when you need it most and says, “Don’t be afraid, I’m always here.” Its weapon special effects are also very interesting: it increases skill damage when healing, and amplifies the wind attribute output of teammates when using skills. Such gentle and firm support is the greatest significance of the pneumatic protagonist.
The new Sound Corpse Set “Clouds of the Endless Sky” has a very Zen-like name. It is like a cloud in the mountains, coming and going unpredictably, but it depicts the most beautiful picture in the sky. The attribute of the two-piece set is to increase the aerodynamic damage, while the five-piece set further strengthens the team’s resonance when the wind erosion effect is triggered. Such a mechanism setting reminds us of a truth – everyone’s efforts may be insignificant, but when we connect with each other, we can arouse real resonance.
I believe that behind this setting, there is actually a very gentle heart. The developer is telling us: it is not only the strongest value that can bring victory, sometimes, gentle power and collaborative wisdom are the real support.
Of course, players can also make deposits on Treabar. The operation there is simple, efficient, and there are discounts. But for me, what is more important is not the discount, but the kind of “I consider you thoughtfully”. It is like a cup of hot tea that someone brews for you when you get up early. It seems ordinary, but it is the most moving.
There is also a role worth looking forward to – the shore guard. This name reminds me of the stone lions in front of the temple, or the old man fishing alone by the river. He has not appeared in front of us yet, but he has already made people respect him like the sea breeze. His weapon “Star Order Harmony”, the name is like the star map in the night sky, which seems to imply a connection with the rhythm of the universe. I believe that his arrival will be a course about “protection” and “patience”.
When writing these words, I suddenly thought that every game update is actually a journey of the heart. We come from one city to another, gain new characters, new stories, and find those who have never changed in the old times. And these seemingly “data” contents actually constitute part of our memory.
The wind always comes when we are not paying attention.
Maybe you are exhausted, maybe you are ready to leave. But please believe that when you hear the sound of the wind again, it is not the end, but the beginning of a new journey.
May we not forget our original intentions in this new version and meet in the wind.
