In the fantasy world called Mingchao, Brent’s skill growth is like a destined reincarnation of fate. She accumulates layers of “applause” in the “resonance circuit”, as if being led by an invisible hand in the dark, gradually opening up another level of life, like the ups and downs of the symphony of fate.
Applause, on the surface, is a joyful sound, but in fact it is a mysterious power bestowed on her by fate. Each layer of applause is like a faint candlelight in the dark night, guiding her forward in the long darkness. In this mechanism, Brent is very much like the tragic beauties in those ancient dramas, relying on the audience’s applause to persist in fighting, but unable to escape the fate set by fate. The release of treatment and shield is not only a numerical gain, but also a metaphor. Life is constantly reshaping itself in the expectation and praise of the outside world, as if there are countless eyes behind it examining her every ups and downs.
“Resonance liberation” is the climax of this play, an extreme self-salvation. Whenever she responds to the outside world with her life recovery, it seems as if she is whispering to the audience: “I am still here, I have not fallen.” This power is not just a number in the game, but the most true confession of life by the woman struggling in the cycle of fate in Li Bihua’s works. Every time she recovers, she is telling the souls that are trampled by fate but still stubbornly live.
The attack enhancement of the “Immortal Route” of the Swift Blade is the sword that Brent uses to resist fate, flashing a cold and sharp light. It cuts not only the enemy’s defense line, but also the layers of shackles surrounding her. The increase in attack power is very similar to the characters in Li Bihua’s works who constantly fight for freedom and dignity, dancing their own glory in the endless darkness. Every swing of the Swift Blade carries the desire for the future and the sadness for the past, as if telling an eternal story: no matter how cruel fate is, people will eventually break free from the shackles and find their own way to survive.
The bonus of the “Courage without Fear of Waves” of the Sound Corpse Set is like a vow in a storm. It increases Brent’s damage and attack power, like a war song sung in the stormy waves, a challenge to fate and a redemption of self. Those courage and strength are not innate, but the steel will condensed after thousands of tempering. Li Bihua is good at describing those women with various styles but ill-fated fates. They dance in the wind and waves, with laughter and tears intertwined, just like the fragile and strong beauty of Brent when he wears the Shenghai suit.
Changli, Jinxi and Zhezhi in the team are not only partners in battle, but also companions on Brent’s road of destiny. The intricate relationship between them is full of trust and betrayal, tenderness and coldness, just like the intricate fate of the characters in Li Bihua’s writing. Everyone carries their own stories and scars. Their cooperation and friction have made this world rich and heavy, and also made Brent’s growth path full of dramatic tension.
The order of skill upgrades reveals Brent’s understanding and struggle against fate. She first chose to consolidate her defense to ensure that she would not be easily knocked down, just like those women who experienced hardships and learned to protect themselves; then she gradually increased her attack power, took the initiative to attack, and tried to change the trajectory of her destiny. This progressive strategy is not only a survival wisdom, but also a silent protest against fate, showing a power from passive to active.
Overall, Brent’s skill growth is not just a numerical improvement in the game, but a poem of life, reflecting the image of women with ill-fated but indomitable fate in Li Bihua’s writing. They dance in the wind and rain, and look for light in the dark night. The addition of each skill point is a cry to fate and the deepest praise for life. Brent in the world of Mingchao, like those women who are teased by fate, interprets her own legend in the complex world.
