Everything seems to be hazy in the night, and time is infinitely stretched and blurred. You are standing in a world that does not belong to you, perhaps the world of “Mingchao”, or perhaps a wilderness in your own heart. That kind of loneliness seems to be floating under the neon lights of the city, and everything becomes extremely abstract, but extremely real.

In the update of Mingchao version 2.3, Zanni and Xiakong appeared, like two meteors in the night sky, suddenly appearing in our field of vision with their own light and shadow. The addition of these two new characters may allow us to glimpse the subtle intersection between virtual and reality. And can we really find some reflections of the brilliance of our own hearts from these characters?

Virtual nothingness, a moment of tranquility in reality
Just like the world of “Mingchao”, every moment of reality is a symphony after another. You wander, cross, and linger in it, as if waiting for a moment of unexpected encounter-just like the arrival of Zanni and Xiakong in the game. Behind these characters is the loneliness you and I have been immersed in, as if you are standing on a dark street, looking at the neon lights across the street, but always feel a sense of untouchable emptiness.

Zanni, the seemingly powerful character, is full of the passion and glory of battle. She is endowed with countless powers, and she is the kind of character who can lead one victory after another in the game world. However, when she steps into the virtual world of the game, can she really find her belonging? Is her brilliance enough to illuminate the loneliness in her heart?

“Diffraction Main C”, this label seems to be a kind of bondage, fixing Zanni in a single role framework. And she constantly pursues liberation, activates her resonance, and enters an enhanced state, as if she is just escaping from the emptiness in her heart. Isn’t her light noise effect just like the neon lights in the misty night, which are bright in an instant, but also fade quickly? This is exactly what we pursue in the virtual world-the brilliance of that moment, but I don’t know when to forget it.

Xia Kong, as another new character, seems to be another existence in the virtual world. She seems to have a softer power, and more through assistance, she brings about global changes. Her “wind erosion effect” is like a breeze blowing through your heart, with a faint warmth. In real life, you may have met such people before – they are not ostentatious, but they can change everything about you without you knowing it. Her skills not only hurt the enemy, but also let you feel a certain power in countless struggles, and gradually enhance your cognition.

Xia Kong’s final skill seems to be a breakthrough at that moment, giving the enemy fatal damage, just like the awakening at a certain moment in real life, making you finally understand that all the accumulation and efforts will eventually bloom at a certain moment.

The game is also a projection of life
You control Zanni in the game and fight against the enemy; in reality, are you also fighting endlessly with your own predicament and emotions? This is the junction of virtual and reality – you seem to have a powerful power and can defeat everything, but you can never escape the struggle in your heart.

This is why the card pool information of “Mingchao” is always full of expectations. Every updated character is a projection of a certain psychological state. When we fight for new characters in the virtual world, are we also looking for a stronger self? When we choose Zanni or Xiakong, are we choosing which attitude in our own life?

When you are ready to welcome these new characters, are you also ready to face the uncontrollable fluctuations in life? When you make plans for your card pool, are you also making some plans for your life? These questions may just be a question thrown out by chance, but they are hidden in our hearts, like an unspoken answer, waiting to be revealed at an inadvertent moment.

A game, thousands of mountains and rivers
Whether it is Zanni’s light noise effect or Xiakong’s wind erosion effect, these virtual characters bring more than just the fun of fighting. They are our projection of strength and fragility in life. They are the shackles and constraints that we want to break free from deep in our hearts.

We cheer for virtual characters and are excited about the results of card draws, but we can’t help but ask: What do those virtual characters fill in our hearts? Is it loneliness, desire, or the emptiness that cannot be soothed in life? We deduce the ideal self over and over again in the game, but in reality, can we see ourselves more realistically and firmly in every failure and setback?

Zanni and Xiakong, these two characters, are extremely dazzling in the virtual world, but in real life, each of us is trying to find our own brilliance in our own way. The virtual world provides us with a space to escape, but only when we return to reality can we see the real power.

Conclusion: Self-reconstruction from virtual to real
Zanni and Xiakong in the game may not belong to us completely, but their existence allows us to find a certain connection between virtual and reality. Just as we stroll on the streets of a neon-lit city, ignoring the darkness ahead and chasing the light. The glory of the virtual world will eventually fade; and only in real life can we find the brilliance that emerges from the heart.

In the world of Mingchao, you may just be one of the drifters, but in reality, you can still make your own choices to define your own existence.

If every player is looking for his or her own character, have you already started looking for your true self in this world?
