“Mingchao” is a fighting game, but it is not only full of decisive battles, but also full of various details that make people laugh and cry. Especially for the growth of the character Cantrela, it can be said to be a difficult “self-transformation”. To put it bluntly, she is like an ordinary village woman, who suddenly became the hero after a series of “killing monsters and upgrading”. There are too many unknown stories in it, especially the invisible contest between players and fate, which is really painful and funny.
When it comes to Cantrela, the first thing that comes to mind is her sword-like weapons and invincible combat power, but in a sense, her growth path is more like a person’s calm and firm resistance when facing himself, the environment, and all seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Her weapons are very powerful, but how many “resources” are needed behind them, especially the endless “tasks” such as breakthrough, skill improvement, and exclusive weapon enhancement, which make people doubt their lives.
1. Breakthrough: It is not a breakthrough that can be successful in one go, but a “torture” again and again
The word breakthrough sounds like a breakthrough of some kind, but in fact, for Cantrela, it is more of a process of “being polished”. The materials she needs are not other things, but those rare “eddy current materials” and shells. Every breakthrough is not only an improvement in ability, but also a consumption of resources, a “buy, buy, buy” madness. As Liu Zhenyun wrote in “One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences”, “Things that can be solved with money are not a big deal, but everything costs money.”
Whether it is the Jufang Sound Core, the Purifying Conch, or the Sea Floating Thorn, behind each breakthrough, players need to spend a lot of time and energy to collect these materials. Through dungeons, tasks, and even challenging those heart-pounding enemies, everything points to one goal-making Cantrela stronger.
However, this is not as simple as it seems. The scarcity of materials, repeated deaths in the process of fighting monsters, and the shells required for upgrading, the layers of tasks simply make the players breathless. This uninterrupted “resource exchange” reminds me of something in life-if you want to gain a foothold in society, it is often not a matter of one day or one night, but the accumulation of “resources” again and again, and behind it is the difficult process of countless “polishing”.
2. Skill improvement: not a one-shot victory, but a little bit of “details” polishing
If the breakthrough is an improvement in hard power, then the improvement of skills is the “details” of Cantrela in battle. These skills are not achieved overnight, but through slow adjustment, they can exert their greatest power in actual combat. Speaking of this, I think of a sentence by Liu Zhenyun in “I am not Pan Jinlian”: “Details often determine success or failure.”
Cantrela has many skills, such as slow vortex, soft vortex, andante vortex, andante vortex, etc., and each skill requires accumulation and practice. The slow vortex causes lasting damage to the enemy, the soft vortex is good at group control, and the andante vortex and the fast vortex are explosive skills. The selection and use of each skill is like polishing one’s life experience. It is not about blindly pursuing efficiency, but about flexibly using the most appropriate skills according to different enemies and different combat environments. Every choice of skill is like a choice made on the road of life. If you make a mistake, you have to start over.
Especially when confronting the enemy, the “win and lose” conversion caused by skills is often very similar to our adaptability in daily life in society. A person’s success is not only a display of strength, but also an interweaving of wisdom, timing and choice, and these choices are often based on countless grinding and summarization of details.
3. Exclusive weapon enhancement: social “class” and personal “armament”
The exclusive weapon enhancement in “Mingchao” gives me a sense of déjà vu. I remember Liu Zhenyun mentioned in “One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences” that people’s lives are always faced with many “choices” and “capital”, many of which can be accumulated and improved. And the exclusive weapon enhancement of Cantrela is her “capital accumulation” in the game world.
Every weapon enhancement requires a lot of shackle materials, which need to be accumulated from simple to special. The collection of these materials is actually the process of players “surviving” in the world of “Mingchao”. It represents how players gradually accumulate their “capital” through continuous efforts and the blows of one copy after another. This is somewhat similar to the promotion of people in work and workplace in real life. They gradually gain stronger power through continuous accumulation and tempering.
4. Circuit optimization: the tug-of-war between people and fate
For Cantrela, circuit optimization is not only a deep adjustment of her own skills, but also a resistance in her “game” with fate. Every circuit optimization is like a contest with fate, which determines whether she can take the lead in the next battle. After all, whoever can gain a foothold in a complex battle situation can control his fate.
However, this optimization process is not as simple as imagined. A large amount of vortex skill materials and polyphonic cores are needed. This is like Liu Zhenyun’s thinking in “I Am Not Madame Bovary”: “Life itself is not a game you can control.” The improvement of the circuit reflects how players can find their foothold in the complex rules of society, how to constantly “upgrade” themselves in difficult situations, and face more challenges.
V. Summary: Cantrela and players: an invisible challenge
In general, Cantrela’s growth history is not just an upgrade process of a game character, it is actually the result of countless collisions, exchanges and interactions between players and the world of “Mingchao”. Every breakthrough, every skill improvement, every special weapon enhancement and circuit optimization reflects the struggle and helplessness of players in the game world. In this process, fate and social environment are also like the invisible force that controls every step of the player.
The story of Cantrela is not just a legend in the game world, it is more like a process of continuous trial, adjustment and change for each of us in real life. Everyone’s growth is a silent contest. Everything we do is not just for fighting, but also to find our own “position” on the chessboard of fate.
