Xiadie’s growth materials are not just numbers and props in the game, but more like a microcosm of each of our adolescence: full of confusion, struggle, but full of the power to break through. Standing on the track of Star Dome Railway, Xiadie is like a rebellious teenager, unwilling to be bound by the set rules, eager to break a new path in his own way.
“Ethereal Omen” sounds like a hint from fate to us. That kind of vague sense of existence is like the feeling we had in adolescence – obviously invisible and intangible, but it does exist. Every time you collect “Ethereal Omen”, it’s like looking for yourself and piecing together the future that has not yet taken shape. It’s not like direct power, but more like an accumulation of energy waiting to explode.
“Dark Moonlight” has a stronger sense of story, like the complex emotions in youth. The interweaving of light and darkness symbolizes the contradictions and struggles in growth. We both desire light and are afraid of exposing our own fragility. Xiadie’s growth path is exactly this kind of journey of light and shadow. Each piece of “dark moonlight” is like the acceptance and recognition of the dark side of oneself.
Those so-called trace materials – “seeds of thought”, “magic seedlings”, “Alaya”, are actually metaphors of youth. The seeds of thought are the beginning of rebellion and reflection, and the courage to question everything. The magic seedlings are like the dreams in the heart, immature but not to be ignored. Alaya, this philosophical name is very much like our process of questioning ourselves and seeking the truth. It reminds us that growth is not simply getting stronger, but a deep exploration of the inner world.
The exclusive light cone “makes farewell more beautiful” is really well said. Youth is to say goodbye to the past that makes us painful and confused. Farewell is not the end, but a preparation for the next journey. Xiadie’s light cone is like a medal of youth, commemorating those painful and happy times.
The existence of credit points is very much like the capital and resources we need in real life. Growth depends not only on dreams and passion, but also on the support of reality. Credit points are the recognition of hard work and the most realistic existence in the virtual world. Without it, dreams may just be castles in the air.
The game designer uses these growth materials to build a world that is both illusory and real. Xiadie’s growth is not just about fighting monsters and upgrading, but more like a self-cultivation of youth. We get lost in growth and look for an exit in growth. Every breakthrough on the Star Dome Railway is like finding a solid step on the road of youth.
This track is full of realistic conflicts and illusory hopes. Xiadie’s story tells us: There is no shortcut on the road to growth, only constant struggle, farewell and restart. The confusion of youth may be our most precious wealth.
In summary, behind Xiadie’s growth materials is the struggle and breakthrough of every young person between reality and dreams. It is not only a resource in the game, but also a symbol of youth. Walking through the Star Dome Railway, we are all looking for the real self.
