The world is changing fast, so fast that it catches people off guard. Teyvat, too, is like a story that never stops, constantly turning over new pages. Version 4.1 is here, just like the child of the neighbor Lao Li’s family has grown up, wearing his own clothes for the first time, and straightening his back.
The people in the story are vivid. The young man who handles water is as low-key as an old man who is silent in the afternoon teahouse, with endless stories in his heart. The water in his hands is not only a weapon for fighting, but also like his own soft mind, flowing quietly, but can bring endless changes. There is a kind of peace between his eyebrows after going through hardships, like a lamp, illuminating the dark corners.
The girl, with her fiery red hair, is like the scorching sun in summer, warm and a little stubborn. Her smile is like a street stall, lively and unpretentious. Her walking posture is like an unfinished poem, hurried and flamboyant. You see her maneuvering on the battlefield, and every spark is the catharsis of her life. She has her secrets and her wounds, but she doesn’t tell others easily. She is the kind of person who smiles and says “I’m fine” even if she is covered with scars.
And the cold young man, he is as quiet as the window outside in the winter night, everything is frozen. But in his eyes, there is a light that others can’t see. That light is tenacity and a kind of indomitable. He is like a silent guardian, taciturn, but always appears at critical moments, giving people a sense of security. There is a kind of contradictory beauty in him, which cools the heart fire but cannot cool the warmth in his heart.
The child of the wind is like a knight wandering in the rivers and lakes, unrestrained and light as a gust of wind. He likes to play the flute, and the sound of the flute passes through the woods, as if telling endless stories. No matter where he is, there is always a free world in his heart. He is a traveler and a storyteller, with a smile, but also carrying unspeakable loneliness.
These four people, like four parallel lines, occasionally intersect and occasionally separate, but together weave this version of the story. The launch on September 27th has become an agreement in the hearts of many players, just like the entrance of the alley in old Beijing, the familiar time point, waiting for a new round of gathering.
This version not only brings new maps and new plots, but also gives people an opportunity to stop their hurried steps and look at the scenery around them. Every detail in the game is like a mirror in life, reflecting our curiosity, enthusiasm, tenacity and freedom in the world.
The Treabar platform is the “neighborhood watch” in this world, providing players with a quiet and stable trading space. It is not as noisy as the downtown of a big city, but it makes people feel down-to-earth, just like the small shop in the old community, although inconspicuous, it is an indispensable part of daily life.
The scenery of Teyvat is virtual, but the emotions are real. Players have found their own stories on this land and have re-recognized themselves. Some people laugh for a character, some cry for a battle, and some stop to savor a plot.
Life is like this, and so are games. No matter how noisy the outside world is, there is always a quiet corner in Teyvat where you can be yourself. Perhaps this is the true meaning of version 4.1 – persist in change and find belonging in chaos.
So, we packed our bags and set off on the journey, not for anything else, but for the faint expectation in our hearts. Looking forward to meeting the most authentic self in the wind, fire, water and ice.
