Her name is Feng Jin. In the 3.3 version of Honkai Impact 3: Star Railway, she is coming.
But she is not the kind of character who appears with a gong and drum. She is quiet and firm, just like the wild chrysanthemums in the mountain pass quietly blooming, not blooming because of anyone’s eyes, but only existing for the rhythm of her heart. Her attribute is wind, and her destiny is memory. These two words together are like an old letter from afar, filled with old dreams and your unspoken words.
It is not an easy task to cultivate her.
You have to prepare 56 copies of “Fear Tramples Flesh and Blood”, 71 copies of “Courage Tears Chest”, 73 copies of “Glory Baptism Body” and 65 copies of “A Cup of Drunk Times”. The name of each material is like a poem, slowly seeping out meaning between your fingers while you are busy brushing the book. Those words themselves are not only resources, but also like the texture in her body and the folds of her soul.
What you are doing is not just “raising a character”, you are listening to the sound of a soul slowly growing bones and wings.
Her exclusive light cone is called “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever”, a sentence, like the red line you drew on the pages of a book in your childhood, flickering faintly. In order to upgrade this light cone, you need to prepare 20 copies of “Fear Tramples Flesh and Blood”, 20 copies of “Courage Tears Chest”, 14 copies of “Glory Baptizes Body”, plus 385,000 credits.
The numbers are so cold, but she is so warm.
In this game, there are too many powerful characters, and the daily discussion area is filled with “output multiplier”, “speed curve”, and “constellation value”. And she, not in a hurry, step by step makes you willing to collect materials for her, devote your attention and time to her.
Her track system is even more of a map of the mind. You need 18 copies of “Thinking Seeds”, 69 copies of “Manas Sprouts”, and 139 copies of “Alayahua”. These materials are not like steel, but more like the fruits of Zen. You must go deep into the “Ruins of Conflict” and repeatedly precipitate order in the chaos.
Her road to breakthrough is also long. From level 20 to level 80, there are six different lists of materials. Challenge the dungeons again and again, and choose her again and again. A drunken era is a symbol that she must go through. That is what you get after defeating the boss in the Pinocchio Theater. She doesn’t give it to you easily. You have to work hard again and again until you can really bear her weight.
Feng Jin is not a character who shouts “I’m here”. She is the kind of person who can’t help but say “She is so gentle” in front of the screen when you are brushing materials and trying repeatedly. It’s not because of her lines or her portraits, but because you are moved by a gentle persistence during your time with her.
She also needs you to fight against the weekly boss to obtain the “Remnant of the Same Wish”. She is not an easy choice, but every step she takes is like a healing process: you have learned to wait and remember in this fast-paced, numerically heavy game system.
Yes, her destiny is “memory”.
This is a reminder in itself. Remind us: not every choice is for fighting, not every investment is for victory. Sometimes, the reason why we raise a character is because we want to keep a certain emotion. Her existence is a small house you find for your emotions, even if it is just virtual, it is enough to resist the noise of the outside world.
She needs 3,888,100 credit points.
Some people say: “Not worth it.”
But if you really invest, you will understand: that is a part of the tenderness you pay in reality, the thought of “Well, I will accompany her for a while today” when you click into the dungeon after get off work, and the buffer you find for yourself in the mechanical cultivation mechanism.
She is a character planned by the system, but you can build an independent kingdom of emotions on her.
She is not the strongest one in your team, but she may be the most stable one in your heart.
As the story of Star Dome Railway unfolds page by page, as new versions are updated one by one, and as players have more and more characters, you may forget some characters with top numbers. But she won’t.
She is a character you can remember.
Because she is not a strength model designed to please you, she is a reason for you to find yourself between busyness and fatigue.
Feng Jin is a character prepared for people who are willing to slow down.
I hope you can still remember your original intention of Jinse in the wind.
