I just turned off "The Ancient Immortal Lord" and looked at the time in the upper right corner of my phone. Good guy, it's 4:30 in the morning again. I wonder if this game has secretly tricked me. Every time I say "play for ten minutes and then sleep", it turns out that the sky is already dark when I look up 😂
Speaking of which, I'm a night owl who really picks games. I don't like to play during the day when there are many people. I just like to lie in bed in the middle of the night, when the world is quiet except for the hum of the air conditioner, and explore slowly and leisurely. So the recently discovered "Ancient Immortal" really hit my comfort zone.
Its rhythm is neither hurried nor impatient, just perfect for quiet play late at night. You don't have to compete with anyone for time to make progress, and no one is urging you to increase your combat power. You can just slowly refine elixirs, forges, and practice exercises by yourself, see how the five elements spiritual roots match up, and occasionally travel to various places to look for opportunities. Playing with this kind of thing in the middle of the night is particularly reassuring, like cooking a pot of your own health porridge, slowly getting into the flavor.
And it really lives up to its name of "cultivating immortals". Every time I stay up late to practice in the game, I feel that I have a wonderful synchronization with the character - on the screen, Taoist Master Qingxu is meditating in seclusion, and off the screen, I am walking in the clouds with dark circles under my eyes. The most ironic thing is that in the game, I am about to ascend and I am not yet asleep, but in reality, I am about to ascend to heaven. I was having fun last night and poured myself a glass of warm water. Suddenly I realized that I am no longer the age where I can stay up all night at the age of twenty, haha.
Oh, yes, in the game you can also create a sect and recruit disciples, or form a fairy relationship or something. Although I was alone and had no one to chat with me all night, there was no rush. It was already late at night anyway, so I should take my time. Maybe one day I will actually meet a fellow Taoist who also stayed up late to cultivate immortality in the game.
Finally, a small reminder, this game is very time-consuming. Don't follow my example and promise to go to bed at two o'clock and end up with your eyes open until dawn... But if you also like the slow pace of cultivating immortals and the atmosphere of playing games quietly late at night, I really recommend giving it a try. I've been cultivating to immortality until I feel sleepy, but it's really time to sleep🥱
Good night, or good morning? We night owls all know it anyway.
