I just wanted to play for ten minutes before going to bed, really. As a result, when I looked up, it was already dark, and the birds outside the window were chirping like an alarm clock. Only then did I realize that I had been up all night again. Alas, I am a night owl. Every time I encounter this kind of slow game, I can't control myself at all. I clearly promised to go to bed early, but I end up hanging around under the willow trees in Jiangnan all night.
In fact, this game is particularly suitable for playing at night, especially in the middle of the night when it is quiet. It's not like those mobile games where you have to concentrate hard on fighting and killing. The slow pace is particularly addictive. I chose a path to study literature in the game, and I just went for a walk in the woods every day, watching children pick up pine cones and listening to them tinkling with laughter. Then I went to Liuyuan to relax and watch the hanging branches being played by the wind. This scene paired with the late night table lights is really amazing. 🍃
In the meantime, I also tried the acupuncture method. My dear, I memorized the names of the seven acupoints for a long time. I was confused by the methods of poking, tapping, grabbing, grabbing, and closing... My mind was confused, but the more I tried, the more I got confused. In the early morning, my reaction speed was almost at a snail's pace. In the end, I relied on muscle memory to figure out a set of combos. I even laughed. It was indeed an achievement that can only be achieved by staying up late playing games.
Speaking of which, I especially like its slogan, "The secular world is heavy, but life in Jiangnan is slow." This "take your time" really struck a chord with me. Nowadays, many games are urging you to complete tasks and catch up on progress. This game is like a particularly gentle old man, telling you not to worry, the moon is still hanging, and the pine cones haven't fallen yet. Please sit back for a while. I was attracted by this atmosphere and stayed there all night long. 😌
The funniest thing is that when I played until about five o'clock in the morning, an NPC in the game said to me, "It's late at night, it's time to take a rest." I almost thought it was talking to me, and I nodded to the screen and said, "Okay, okay," and then continued to click. What a fool I am. 🤦♀️
In short, if you are also a night owl, or if you can't sleep one night, you can really try this "Gangnam Life". There is no need to rush to do any tasks, just go for a walk in the south of the Yangtze River, study literature, practice martial arts, pick pine cones, and listen to the wind blowing willow branches. Anyway, when I plan to play again today, I have to remember to set an alarm clock - well, although there is a high probability that I will pretend I didn't hear it. 🌌
I won't say good night. It's dawn. I'll take a nap. I continue my Jiangnan life in my dream. 💤
