News in the game world always comes fast, just like the drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, it starts and stops as soon as it is said to start. As soon as the wind of Ver4.5 blows, everyone knows that a new character is going to appear. The character is called Chizhi, she is a rock element, she holds a sword, and she is a woman. These things combined suddenly remind people of some old stories, letters found in old cardboard boxes, time has covered the dust, but the content seems to have never been blurred.
Chizhi’s setting is not complicated – if you are willing to read it slowly, without purpose, without calculating for strength ranking, and without worrying about the probability of drawing cards. Just sit down, pick up a cup of warm tea, and watch her skills, constellations and background unfold bit by bit, like reading an old novel about a quiet supporting character. No one noticed it at first, but she was always there, and later she became indispensable.
Her E skill responds to the element – when water comes, she heals; when fire comes, she increases damage; when ice comes, she increases critical strike; when thunder comes, she replenishes energy. As for Yan, that is her destiny, so naturally there will be a double response. Such a setting is rare in the game, but it is not so surprising. Just like the people you know in real life, not everyone is loud and fanciful. Some people are gentle and “set things up for people”. They don’t take the initiative to show off, but once you get close, you will feel comfortable.
And her ultimate move is to release silk threads to wrap around the enemy and weaken resistance. This sounds like a trick, but if you think about it, it is very much like the kind of silent maintenance in the world: you don’t realize that she has adjusted everything properly. Although the silk thread is soft, if it is woven tightly, it is a net; if the net is intimate, it becomes protection. She is the kind of person who weaves a net, slowly gathering the situation, not alarming anyone, but protecting everyone.
The constellation is also progressive, from the energy recovery of the first life to ignoring the enemy’s defense at the sixth life. Qianzhi is like a vine climbing up the wall, growing from an inconspicuous seedling to a lush shape. Her growth does not rely on external forces, but just quietly spreads over time, inch by inch. There is no explosive breakthrough, but you will feel that she is becoming more and more stable and reliable.
Her weapon is called “Luanqi Kuoba’s Eyes”, which sounds like the weapon used by a certain swordsman in an old novel. It is tongue-twisting to read, but it is worth reading. The base value is 542, and the defense bonus is 82.7%. It is a sword tailored for her. It is not sharp, but it wins in being suitable – the word “suitable” is too rare in the game. Players often pay attention to numbers, strength, and T0 lists, but Qianzhi is like an important person in life that you don’t immediately realize. She doesn’t make noise or steal the limelight, but as long as she is there, you feel at ease.
Of course, some people say that such a character is not strong in actual combat, and all kinds of bonuses are too thinly distributed, which is far less efficient than a character who specializes in a certain attribute. But life is not efficiency-oriented, and not everyone is rushing for the winning rate. We play games not to simulate the success of reality, but to meet a kind of gentle completeness in another world.
So, Qianzhi is like the old servant who has worked for a wealthy family for many years but has never been nominated, or the neighbor who knocks on the water tank at six o’clock every morning in the alley. She is not the protagonist, but she understands the rhythm and knows how to advance and retreat. Her value does not lie in the glory of a battle, but in her persistence again and again, and in taking back the seemingly scattered situation again and again.
It will take some time for Ver4.5 to go online, but some people have prepared the original stone for her, and some people are just waiting quietly, waiting for the day when she goes online, to see her in the team, wearing rock-colored clothes, standing at the end of the team, silent, but already supporting the whole scenery.
Not every update needs to be amazing, but there must always be someone to make up for the calmness of the world. Qianzhi is that kind of character. If you meet her, you will understand.
