Every morning on the subway during the morning rush hour, I'm the one rubbing my phone with my head down 😂 It's not about watching short videos, it's about doing business! The most amazing thing about the game "Wind of the West" is that you are obviously playing an MMORPG, but you don't have to sit in front of the computer the whole time like you used to when playing client games. I now commute for half an hour every morning, which is enough to clear out my business errands. I can also secretly glance at the World Channel to see if there is any gossip.
To be honest, the biggest advantage of this game is that it understands us office workers. I used to play other MMOs. I would work overtime at night until I got home at nine o'clock, and I had to rush to fight gang battles. If I didn't fight, I couldn't keep up with the progress. In the end, I was as tired as going to work. But "Wind and Cloud of the Western Regions" is very Buddhist. When you are feeling anxious, you can find a night after get off work and try out the three Qigong series one by one, and study how to match Ice, Fire and Thunder with skill combos. The impact is really exciting and relieves stress. When I don't feel like having fun, I can just hang up and brush up on some materials during my lunch break, and chat with my gang members. It's completely stress-free.
What gets me the most is the running business gameplay. During the day, I was tortured by Party A in the company to the point of doubting my life. At noon, I opened the game and became an escort, escorting goods across the desert. Occasionally, I could kill robbers when I encountered them. The pleasure was more refreshing than drinking iced Americano. Moreover, the three identities of businessman, bodyguard, and martyr can be switched at will. If you are in a good mood today, you can be a peaceful merchant and sell supplies. If you want to fight tomorrow, you can be a martyr and rob the bodyguard. The degree of freedom is really high. This kind of fragmented identity-switching gameplay is especially suitable for people like me who have fluctuating moods at work.
By the way, I recommend archer as a career choice. Why? Because you can secretly eat lunch while operating it with one hand! Although swords, shields and knives have a more satisfying impact, they require more precise operation. If the boss suddenly passes by from behind, you will be in a hurry and easily overturn. Archers have a wide range of skills, and can be idle with just a few clicks, which is perfect for workers and fishermen. Of course, if you just want to relax and choose a knife to rush into the crowd and slash at people, your stress relief index will definitely be the first among the three professions.
Anyway, for me, "Western Storm" has become a life-saving straw for me when commuting on the subway. When I'm too tired from working overtime at night and don't want to use my brain, I just go up and play a few PVP games. I'm not angry if I lose. If I win, I feel like I'm good again. When I go to work the next day, I can tell my colleagues about yesterday's bounty battle report, and the interpersonal relationships in the office are much more harmonious. If you, like me, don't have a lot of time to play games, but you also want to dream of martial arts, you can really consider this game. It's free anyway, so it doesn't hurt to download it and give it a try.
