The sky is overcast, not the kind of overcast that is about to rain, but a shining gray, like a newly polished aluminum pot, smooth but a little old. There is wind on the ground, the wind blows out from the depths of the virtual world, blows through the Linaxi Tower, and blows into everyone’s mobile phone screen. People sit at home, holding the machine, and with a touch of their fingertips, a new version of Mingchao 2.0 is turned on the screen, like spring has come, there are no horns or firecrackers, but it is known that it is a new climate.
The first gust of wind in this climate is a new character named Gamora. She is an ice-attributed girl, holding a pistol, but she is not the kind of girl who rides and shoots in westerns, nor is she the kind of stage play character who is dressed brightly. She is cold, like the well water in northern Shaanxi in winter, transparent when shining, but choking and hurting your teeth when you drink it.
It is said that she is the main C of the ice attribute. People say that the main C is the one who leads the charge. In the fighting and killing of Mingchao, she is the front line and the first shadow to step out after the gunfire. She doesn’t speak or smile, but when she appears, it seems that the background music has become three points colder. I heard that her skills have not been made public yet, but so what, we rural people can know the rain by looking at the ground, and we know from her posture that she is not here to make up the numbers.
Jinxi is back again. People often say that the reunion of old friends is the easiest to make people soft-hearted. The first time I drew Jinxi was on a very late night, when the battery of my mobile phone was only 10%. When she was transferred out of the card pool, it was like digging out a porcelain bottle under the loess slope. Now she is back with new clothes, and the clothes are like the paintings sold at the night market stalls on the street. Just looking at them makes me feel unconventional. Some people will think she is old and say that they are tired of it after using it, but I think the return of old characters is a kind of remembrance, a way to shake hands with the past.
Sanhua also has a new skin. She is the kind of person who doesn’t like to talk, but you always notice her. Like the woman at the entrance of the village who never looked up, she lived a peaceful but chilly life. No one spent money to buy her clothes, they were given by the system, a bit like the Spring Festival couplets given during the Chinese New Year. If you don’t put them up, you will feel empty inside.
As for Rococo, you can tell from the name that she is not from our village. With her colorful hair, strange eyes, and the little monster she is holding, she looks like a child on Halloween in the city, with colorful flags on her body like the colorful flags at the temple fair. Her attribute is annihilation. I don’t know what annihilation is, but I heard that she can make another character named Chun fight more fiercely. It’s like a shepherd boy came to the team. Although he doesn’t hold a gun, the whole team will be excited when he shouts.
Her skills are auxiliary, not the kind that fights hard on the front line, but we all know that a hero alone cannot hold the battlefield. Someone has to cook and sharpen the knife and prepare arrows. Rococo is such a character. Once she makes a move, the main general dares to rush.
Treabar, the platform, is said to be a recharge agent, to put it bluntly, it allows you to spend less money and get more moon phases. Some people don’t believe it, saying that cheap products are not good, but I have used it several times, the payment is fast, the discount is large, and there has been no problem. You say that nowadays, even buying salt is afraid of buying industrial products. Having such a reliable platform can be regarded as a “good farmer” for our players.
Mingchao 2.0, at first glance, is to update a few characters and open a few skins, but I think it is like a field that has just been turned over in spring, the old is still there, and the new is emerging. What do you think is the meaning of this game? The meaning is that it is like life. You never know whether the next draw will be Gamora or a three-star character, but you will still click with your fingers, just like you don’t know how much wheat you will harvest in the field this year, but you still have to plant.
Behind the version update is people’s desire for change, to find a little freshness in a tired life, and to hear someone say “I’m here” in a lonely night. Even if she is just a virtual character, it is better than nothing.
So you see, the tide is coming, the card pool is opened, the players are moving, and the system has changed. Some people got Gamora, some got the Sanhua skin, and some got nothing, but they will continue to draw and continue to play, because this is not just a game, it is a piece of warm soil in their lives.
