Raising Aglaya sounds simple, but when you actually play it, you will find that it is quite like life. Yes, the character development in the virtual game can also reflect the reality. Aglaya is a limited character with thunder attribute in Star Dome Railway. To make her stronger, it is not done by pressing a button, but a long and complicated “development course”.
You must first understand Aglaya’s breakthrough materials, such as “Fear Crushing Flesh”, “Courage Tearing Chest”, “Nail of Beast Coffin” – the names sound a bit scary. In fact, these materials require you to spend a lot of effort to kill monsters and brush dungeons. These names in the game are symbols of the player’s hard work. You have to understand that this is not just a game of numbers, but more like honing your patience and strategy.
Take “Fear Crushing Flesh” for example, it is a must for Aglaya to break through. If players want her to break through the level, they must first accumulate a certain amount, and there is no shortcut. Behind each piece of material, you have to play several or even dozens of rounds of dungeons, waiting for it to “drop”. This reminds people of those who work hard in real life. They work overtime and study every day, accumulating a little bit of seemingly insignificant “capital” to break through themselves.
Cultivation is not just about killing monsters, but also includes upgrading skills and light cones. Aglaya’s light cone upgrade requires a lot of materials, such as “Glory Baptism Body” and other obscure names, which are actually the designer’s patience test of players. Every time you upgrade, you feel a little more at ease, but also more tired.
Let’s talk about skill upgrades, which is also a tiring job. You have to collect precious materials such as “Jiguang Pianyu” to max out your skills. Pointing skills is like investing in your own knowledge and skills. You have to save money first, then slowly buy books, learn, and slowly become stronger. This “point skill” design in the game is actually quite close to reality. We always have to keep learning and improving in order to have better performance.
Speaking of the source of materials, many of what Aglaya uses have to be brushed in the “Heart Beast Battlefield·Aftermath of the War” dungeon. This is just like the real workplace competition. You have to “fight hard” and there is no shortcut. Yes, many people may complain that “this game is too hard-core”, but this just reflects the difficulty of life. Only by putting in real effort can you see the rewards.
In terms of level breakthrough, Aglaya’s growth is not achieved overnight. Each stage requires different materials, and the quantity gradually increases. You are qualified to impact the next stage only after you break through a stage. It’s like the challenges of every stage in life, looking for a job after graduating from college, getting promoted after working for a few years, taking exams and postgraduate entrance exams… No one can easily win.
In fact, Aglaya’s development is very similar to the portrayal of modern young people: patience, resources, and time. If you want to grow quickly, you have to spend a lot of time and energy, but we all know that the convenience of the fast food era makes people less and less patient. The process of developing this “slow work and fine work” makes people realize the value of hard work and accumulation again.
Let’s talk about the emotions in the game. Aglaiya is not just a data model, she carries the expectations and efforts of the players. Every upgrade and breakthrough is the result of the players’ own battles. Behind the seemingly cold values are the sweat and persistence of thousands of players who stay up late to brush the books. Because of this, the process of cultivation has meaning and the sense of achievement is so strong.
Interestingly, the names of the materials in the game also reflect a literary and dark atmosphere. For example, “Thinking Seed”, “Manas Sprout”, “Alayahua” and other materials that sound like philosophical vocabulary not only make the game world more profound, but also give players more imagination in their efforts. Isn’t this the same as poetry and distance in life? Even if the reality is difficult, you have to give yourself some fantasy and hope.
The development of Aglaiya is ultimately a game about persistence. You have to keep killing monsters, accumulating materials, clicking skills, and breaking through levels to see her change from “ordinary” to “strong”. In this process, you will have countless thoughts of giving up, but as long as you persist, you will usher in your own highlight moment.
In fact, the development in the game is no different from the growth in reality. We all have our own “Aglaiya”, and we are all working silently for a certain goal, but in different ways. Some people develop characters, some develop skills, and some develop their own lives. What is important is that the process of hard work and the attitude of not giving up easily are truly worth cherishing.
Finally, Aglaiya is not only a thunder-only character, but also a symbol, representing all the hard-working young people in game players and even in our lives. Her growth path tells us a truth: no matter how complicated the reality is, only by persisting can we truly see our own light.
