In this virtual world, Xia Kong, a newly promoted five-star resonator, will debut in Mingchao version 2.3. Her growth path is like the struggle of people in reality, long and complicated, full of various tests and difficulties. The numerous materials required for Xia Kong’s breakthrough, skill upgrade, and special weapon enhancement remind people of the difficulties and struggles in reality.
The first thing to say is those eclipse sail cores. The eclipse sail cores of four frequencies, low frequency, medium frequency, high frequency and full frequency, are the basis for Xia Kong’s growth, but they are not so easy to collect. The number of them is staggering. 29 low frequencies, 40 medium frequencies, 52 high frequencies, 61 full frequencies, plus 46 burning phosphorus bones, such numbers are not easily achieved. Just like various qualifications and certificates in real life, they must go through many trials before they can be harvested.
And the acquisition of these burning phosphorus bones is even more difficult. They require players to defeat the powerful enemy named Sighing Ancient Dragon. Sighing Ancient Dragon, this name seems to be a mockery, sighing the fate of game players, and also sighing its own destiny. To defeat it, you need strategy and patience, and more importantly, persistence after countless failures. This reminds people of those who have been knocked down by the pressure of life in reality and stood up again.
Speaking of “Golden Fleece”, the name itself is legendary, like an ideal thing pursued in mythology. Players can collect it in the Linaxi Tower or buy it in the Laguna City Pharmacy, but the weekly purchase limit makes this resource more rare. This reminds people of the unequal resource distribution in real society. If you want to get it, you must know how to wait and care.
Let’s look at Xia Kong’s special weapon enhancement. The gradual upgrade of various shackle materials and crystallized phlogiston is like a path of cultivation. From coarse to fine, from mixed to pure, the player is like an alchemist, constantly purifying his heart and ability. Although these crystallized phlogists can be obtained through the copy “Condensate Field·Confession Abyss”, the challenge is not small, and only the strong can achieve their wish. This is like the differentiation of social classes. Only by constantly improving one’s own strength can one cross layers of barriers.
As for the upgrade of the resonance circuit, the limited material “Iris Blooming Day” has been added, and it must challenge the “Wheel of Fate Fragment” to obtain it. This time, the challenge area must first complete the main task to unlock, as if it is a compulsory course that must be completed before entering society. The high-difficulty challenge makes people feel the hardship of growth, and also reflects the helplessness of the levels in the real world.
It is worth mentioning that the stuffed meat tofu props in the game can increase the drop rate of materials. This design gives people a temporary respite. It seems that in the boring struggle, the occasional encouragement and cheering can make people stick to it. Isn’t this the true meaning of life? Countless seemingly small help can accumulate into a lot and drive people to move forward.
Finally, I have to mention the preferential policies of the recharge platform Treabar. Players can enjoy an additional 3% discount by copying the discount code “Treabarblog3ge”. This is undoubtedly a microcosm of the exchange of interests in modern commercial society. Although games are entertainment, they are also inseparable from the support of capital. Players pay real money in exchange for growth and pleasure in the game. This trading relationship is both realistic and cruel.
Overall, Xiakong’s cultivation system is not just a simple game upgrade process, but a mirror that reflects many phenomena in contemporary society. Complex materials, numerous challenges, limited resources, discount temptations… All of this is like a microcosm of real society. Players are groping forward in it, not only adventurers in the game, but also ordinary people who are constantly struggling in real life.
Perhaps, as the game shows, growth has never been easy. Only by going through layers of challenges and accumulating bits of materials can you truly shine your own light. Xiakong in Mingchao’s world may be a microcosm of each of us.
