Brothers, posting this in the original novel release section might be a bit off-topic, but I really don't have time to write novels, so I can only share some random thoughts from my commute. I'm a 25-year-old office worker, with an hour on the subway each day, a half-hour lunch break, and staying at work till ten sometimes while still having to reply 'Noted' in the group chat. It's not that I don't want to play open-world mobile games, it's just that I get halfway through the map and my stop arrives, or I'm in the middle of a dungeon and the boss calls a meeting. So now I choose games based on only one criterion: they can be paused anytime, progress without stress, and preferably have experiences even if free-to-play. 🤧
Recently, I've been playing the new Wulin Waizhuan mobile game during lunch breaks. It coincidentally aligns with the 10.13 expansion 'Benevolent Heart Accompanies the Fox, the Healing Immortal Returns,' also called 'The Spirit Fox Aids the World.' I've always had a soft spot for the Wulin Waizhuan IP—who doesn't love Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang? This time, the Healing Immortal class has been upgraded: they heal the world, show exquisite medical skills, and by a twist of fate get assistance from the spirit fox, even able to communicate with plant and tree spirits. The class upgrade fully enhances their skills, allowing them to nurture the spirit and protect the body. In simple terms: they can heal and survive, be useful in raids, and won't die in auto-battle. On the subway, a few taps with one hand, ten minutes during lunch to clear daily tasks, the pressure is really low. 🦊
The new expansion also brings the Buji Amusement Park autumn update, with co-play features available so you can enjoy casual gameplay with friends. I quite like this, as you don't have to forcefully form fixed teams. For people like us who have irregular work hours, the biggest fear is 'Clearing the raid at 8 PM tonight, absent members get kicked out of the guild.' Buji Amusement Park is perfect for hanging out with colleagues and friends, browsing around, chatting, and taking screenshots; even if you don't keep up, you won't fall behind. The Mystery Abyss dungeon has also been completely upgraded, unlocking more difficulty levels and offering rich rewards. You can pursue it seriously if you want, but for now, I only dare to play on low difficulty; loitering around isn't shameful.
