Feng Jin, a name in a game, is as light as the wind and as unpredictable as fate. She will soon appear in the 3.3 version of Honkai Impact 3rd, becoming another shining star in the vast galaxy. People talk about her breakthrough materials, exclusive light cones and trace materials as if they were talking about a grand battle, and behind these cold numbers are the unavoidable pain and persistence on her growth path.
First of all, she has to go through a series of countless materials and tests. Fear crushes flesh and blood, courage tears the chest, and glory baptizes the body, listed one by one, just like the various hardships and difficulties on the road of life. Some people will say that this is just a setting in the game, but in fact, every number is like a heavy stone, pressing on her shoulders and on everyone’s heart.
“Fear crushes flesh and blood” – what a straightforward name. Everyone has fear in their hearts. It is an invisible and intangible weight that threatens your existence at all times. Feng Jin needs to use this fear as nourishment, crush it and trample it, only then can she get out of the predicament. In real life, how many people have the courage to continue living by crushing their fear in countless dark nights.
Next is “courage tears the chest”, the name reveals a kind of pain and tearing. Courage is not easy to obtain, it is accompanied by struggle and heartbreak, as if the chest is torn open by an invisible blade, and the pain is almost impossible to breathe. But only in this way can you be qualified to truly stand up and face the bigger world. Feng Jin’s growth is to move forward in countless tearing and rebirth. Her story is a microcosm of the struggles of countless ordinary people in life.
Glory baptizes the body, these three words sound brilliant, but how many tears are behind it, only she knows. Glory is not a fruit that falls from the sky, but a flower watered by sweat and tears. Feng Jin regards glory as her goal. She tries her best, but she falls and gets hurt countless times. That glory eventually became the most shining mark on her body, and also became the driving force that inspired her to constantly break through herself.
In addition to the breakthrough materials, there is also an exclusive light cone “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever”, which is Feng Jin’s symbol and her belief. Who hasn’t had a bright dream of their own? No matter how dim or difficult it is, we all want to see the rainbow in the sky. It is not as simple as the numerical value in the game. It is the inextinguishable hope deep in the heart and the courage to get up even if it is knocked down by reality.
But to obtain this light cone, more materials and more efforts are needed. People often say that there is no free lunch in the world. Feng Jin is no exception, and the road ahead is full of thorns. Those seemingly unfamiliar names of “Thinking Seed”, “Manas Sprout” and “Alayahua” are actually the experience and wisdom she has accumulated little by little on her journey. She needs patience, time, and continuous growth in hardships.
The trace materials are Feng Jin’s past footprints, the roads she has walked, the wind and rain she has experienced, and the scenery she has seen. Those “remaining sounds of the same wish” and “footprints of fate” are not only props in the game, but also echoes from the depths of her soul. They are witnesses of the years and the imprints of her countless failures and successes. Every piece of material records her joys, sorrows, anger, and every heartbreak and laughter.
People who play games may not think deeply about these, but I think these details just reflect the lives of each of us. We are all Feng Jin, carrying heavy materials, and struggling to break through ourselves in reality. Some people struggle to work, some people pay for their families, and some people grit their teeth for their dreams. Every effort is the courage to fight against fate.
Perhaps Feng Jin’s world is just virtual, but the meaning she carries is real. It tells us that no matter how hard life is, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as there is a touch of light in our hearts that “may the rainbow light stay in the sky forever”, we can stand in the wind and walk out of our own Starry Sky Railway.
On that railroad, she is not alone. Each of us is a traveler, breaking through silently and moving forward tenaciously. Feng Jin’s story will eventually become a ray of light in our hearts, illuminating the path under our feet.
