  • Genshin Impact Overview and Success Journey

    Genshin Impact is an open-world adventure game developed and published by Shanghai Mihoyo Technology Co., Ltd. The game first launched in early January 2017, with its internal beta testing beginning on June 21, 2019, and continued on March 19, 2020, and June 11, 2020. The game’s PC technical test began on September 15, 2020, and it was officially launched on September 28, 2020. The official servers shared account data across platforms like iOS, PC, and Android, allowing players to switch between different devices using the same account.

    Setting and Story:
    The game takes place in the fantasy continent of Teyvat, a world where seven elements converge. Those chosen by the gods are granted “God’s Eye” to manipulate the elements. The story follows a mysterious character known as The Traveler, who is on a journey to reunite with their lost sibling. Along the way, they meet a variety of companions, each with unique abilities, and work together to defeat powerful enemies and uncover the secrets of the world. The ultimate goal is to find the seven gods who control the elements and bring peace to a land ravaged by an ancient disaster.

    The history of Teyvat is shaped by the rise and fall of civilizations. Five hundred years ago, the fall of an ancient kingdom triggered significant changes, and while the disasters have ceased, peace remains elusive. As the protagonist, The Traveler explores the land, seeking answers and reconnecting with lost family, while also working to restore balance to the world.

    Character System:
    The game features multiple playable characters. Players begin with a customizable protagonist, The Traveler, who can be male or female. As the game progresses, players unlock other characters through plot progression, divination, and various in-game events. For example, Amber is one of the first characters players can unlock, alongside the protagonist.

    Most characters are acquired through “Divination,” which includes permanent and event-based pulls. Players use “Encounter Bonds” or “Entanglement Bonds” to obtain these characters.

    Gameplay Mechanics:
    Genshin Impact is an open-world game where players control characters who use two types of equipment: weapons and relics. Weapons vary based on the character’s combat style, while relics are items that enhance a character’s attributes when worn as part of a set.

    Consumables in the game fall into three categories:

    Currency, which can be obtained through treasure chests, dungeon challenges, quests, and more.

    Materials, primarily gained from treasure chests and mining.

    Recipes, which require specific materials to craft useful items.

    Commercial Success:
    Genshin Impact achieved remarkable success shortly after its release. On October 29, 2020, Sensor Tower reported that Genshin Impact earned approximately $245 million USD (around ¥1.6 billion) in its first 30 days, leading the global mobile game market during that period. This figure did not account for revenue from third-party Android markets in China and other regions.

    By November 13, 2020, Sensor Tower’s report indicated that Genshin Impact earned $239 million USD in October alone from the App Store and Google Play, making it the top-grossing mobile game worldwide. The Chinese market accounted for 31% of this revenue.

    In March 2021, Sensor Tower reported that Genshin Impact had earned nearly $116 million USD in mobile game revenue, continuing to dominate the market.

    International Success:
    In Japan, Genshin Impact experienced significant success, surpassing revenue in China in November and December 2020. In December, Japan accounted for 30.3% of the game’s global revenue.

    By January 2022, Genshin Impact ranked as the top-earning mobile game overseas, maintaining its position as a dominant force in the mobile gaming industry.

    Conclusion:
    Genshin Impact’s success story is a testament to its engaging open-world mechanics, immersive storytelling, and captivating visuals. From its launch to its ongoing dominance in the global mobile game market, the game continues to attract millions of players worldwide. As of August 2022, the game’s impact on the industry remains undeniable, and its journey is far from over.

  • Between the wilderness and the starry sky, Feng Jin’s story and the journey of her soul

    Feng Jin, this name, is not a game character, but a poem that has never been sung. She walks on the Star Dome Railway, a track covered with dust and oblivion, stepping on a fate that no one knows. Her footsteps are heavy, but as light as the wind. On her way to growth, she is like a lonely traveler in the wilderness, not afraid of wind and frost, rain and snow, but only silently burning a heart that pursues light in her heart.

    “Fear crushes flesh and blood”, this is a heavy poem. Flesh and blood is not only a symbol of the body, but also a carrier of all ideals and hopes. In this world, how many people’s dreams and wishes are crushed in the face of heavy reality, their flesh and blood, together with their souls, collapse in fear, and eventually return to extinction. Feng Jin’s fear is an unspeakable pain, the weight of oppression, like the collapse of the earth, like the collapse of the sky.

    However, in this fear, she did not give in. Feng Jin’s “courage tore through her chest” was like a raging storm in the wilderness, cutting through the silence of her life. It was not gentle courage, but a mixture of blood and tears, an uncontrollable cry from the deepest part of her soul. In the face of fear, Feng Jin did not choose to bow her head, but straightened her chest, tore through the shackles of fate, and tried her best to break free.

    “Glory baptizes the body”, this sentence is like the once scorching sun in the wilderness, finally breaking through the heavy clouds and shining on every weak life. Glory, for Feng Jin, is not just the recognition and halo of the outside world, it is the power for her to keep going, and the fire deep in her heart that has never been extinguished. After every storm, Feng Jin’s body will be washed by glory, like a piece of rock polished by wind and rain, smooth and hard.

    Feng Jin’s growth is the same as the desolation of this world. She started with a “seed of thought” and nurtured a “manas sprout”. These are not gorgeous, but they are real seeds of life. She draws the power of this land and this wasteland from the deepest part of her heart. No matter how much wind and sand there is around her, she still stands firmly, letting the wind blow through her hair and letting the years carve her face.

    Her growth path is not only a material accumulation, but also a spiritual sublimation. Every drop of sweat is not just for the level of breakthrough, but for the immortal ideal. This ideal is not an empty dream, but a living life. It comes from the expectation of the future and the stubbornness of not compromising.

    And the “remaining sound of the same wish” and “footprints of fate” are more like the ballads that have been honed on this starry sky railway, with traces and pains of time. These footprints have long been buried in the soil, and every step is deeply engraved on this land. The farther Feng Jin goes, the deeper her footprints are, and the clearer her ballads are. Those remaining sounds may be weak or intermittent, but they have never disappeared. They still echo in every journey of this starry sky railway, reminding her and all travelers: destiny is not immutable, it can be rewritten.

    Her exclusive light cone “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever” is like a rainbow across the wasteland, cutting through the dull gray sky. This light, although weak, is still warm. It represents an expectation for the future and a desire for a better life. Feng Jin does not fully understand the meaning of light, but she knows that it is enough for her to see the road ahead in the darkness, and it is enough to ignite the spark of hope in her fragile soul.

    Feng Jin’s growth is not only a material breakthrough, but also a spiritual liberation. The fear and pain she has experienced, the courage and glory she has accumulated, all of these have carved a star map in her heart, leading her to an unknown future. Every transformation of hers is a fight against the ruthless world and a rebirth of her soul.

    However, this road is not easy to walk. Just like every breakthrough Feng Jin experienced, every material collection, all in this wasteland, silently bearing the endless wind and sand and destruction. Behind her is an unbearable heaviness and an inescapable reality. And in front of her is an unknown future and a light full of hope. She walked slowly, but not slowly, and every step was solid and firm.

    On this Xingkong Railway, every step Feng Jin took is like a mark on the road of life for each of us. Her growth tells us: no matter how dark the road ahead is, the light in our hearts can still guide us forward. As long as we don’t give up, even in the deepest darkness, there will be a ray of light, always waiting for us.

  • Ju Fufu and the popcorn pot a symbol of the absurdity of modern life and a helpless struggle

    Ju Fufu, this name seems to carry a hint of frivolity, but the popcorn pot in her hand is a heavy symbol. She wields the spatula, and the four consecutive hits are not only a fight, but also a resistance to this absurd world. Flames accompany each knock, just like the burning pain and anger in people’s hearts. The flames jump, but they can’t burn the deep helplessness.

    This popcorn pot is not an ordinary kitchen utensil, but a weapon and shackle for modern people. She uses it to hit the difficulties of life, and also tries to use flames to dispel the surrounding darkness. The first three hammers are swift and fierce, like the long-suppressed anger bursting out, and the fourth hammer is accompanied by a helpless sigh. Each hit is accompanied by burning pain, knocking the hearts of the people around her.

    Her evasive movements, turning and spinning, seem to be avoiding the ruthless blow of fate. As the spatula rotates, the flames fly, as if mocking the cruel reality. How can modern people’s lives not be hurt? But they, like her, spun and dodged, struggling to survive. Although the flames were hot, they also burned people’s reason and warmth.

    At the moment of “opening the pot”, Ju Fufu’s flames burst out, and his teammates gathered around the fire, as if looking for a trace of warmth in this indifferent society. But this warmth is short-lived and false. The fire will eventually go out, and the people sitting around will eventually disperse. In reality, people’s “warmth” is often just a disguise of interests and compromise.

    She had more wounds, but her attack power was stronger. This is an absurd logic of power. The deeper the pain, the more intense the battle. It seems that in this cruel world, only those who have experienced more injuries are worthy of greater right to fight back. The wounds became her medals and also the harsh reward of this society to her.

    The skills of support are like a faint hope. She quickly supported her teammates, parried support, and added attacks, but it was difficult to cover up the cruelty of this ruthless world. Everyone is fighting for themselves. The so-called team is just a temporary union, as fragile as the flames in the pot.

    When the final move exploded, the flames burned fiercely and popcorn flew everywhere. The heat and noise at that moment were the release of extreme emotions in life. However, afterwards, there was still silence and emptiness. The sound of the explosion covered up people’s inner cries, and reality was still cruel and ruthless.

    Ju Fufu finally left, the flames of the pot flickered, and the embers were not extinguished. Her figure went away, but she left behind a silent struggle. What she hit with the spatula was not only the enemy, but also the darkness and helplessness in her heart. The flames in the popcorn pot illuminated not hope, but the shadow of the times.

    This is not only the story of a game character, but also a metaphor for the spiritual situation of contemporary people. People lost themselves in the sound of the collision between the flames and the spatula, struggling to find the faint light. Ju Fufu’s popcorn pot is both a weapon and a cage. The absurdity of life is vividly reflected here, and the struggle of human nature seems extremely desolate.

    Perhaps, everyone is Ju Fufu, carrying wounds, waving the “shovel” in his hand, seeking survival in absurdity, and seeking warmth in the flames. But most people don’t even have a spatula, and can only silently endure the endless darkness.

    This is reality, there is no fairy tale, only the smell of burnt popcorn and the unextinguishable fire in the heart.
