I once said that there is no flower in the world that does not need to be carefully watered to bloom. The same is true in the game world. The existence of those we call “characters” is not just a pile of virtual data, but also a pouring of heart. It is a seed of hope that you sow between countless clicks and waits. The Big Black Tower is such a flower, and she will bloom at the end of the Star Dome Railway.
She waits for us quietly, like a silent traveler, coming in the night, but her steps are particularly firm. She is not noisy, nor does she show off, but she accompanies us in her own way in those long nights. Maybe you are not in a hurry to raise her, but she is always there, soft and calm, waiting for a spring that belongs to her.
The cultivation of the Big Black Tower is a matter that requires “heart”. It is not about showing off, not racing, but your willingness to prepare everything for her without rushing. Just like a mother preparing clothes for her newborn child, the materials named Extinguished Nuclei, Glimmering Nuclei and Moving Nuclei sound cold, but they are actually just the warmth you have collected step by step on this journey.
She needs 56 Extinguished Nuclei, 71 Glimmering Nuclei and 73 Moving Nuclei. There are also 65 Refrigerated Dream Boxes – those are treasures picked in dreams, and letters written to the future. In the battle of the “Daydream Hotel”, we enter the illusion again and again, and in fact, we say to her again and again: “I do.”
Her exclusive light cone is called “Towards the Unquestionable”. This name is so poetic, like the wind blowing in the middle of the night, gently brushing the window lattice, but not disturbing your dream. To upgrade it to level 80, you need to prepare more: 20 Extinguished Nuclei, 20 Glimmering Nuclei, 14 Moving Nuclei, as well as line drawings, sketches, and 380,000 credits. These materials are not a burden, but the bright road you have paved for her inch by inch.
Her breakthrough is a gradual growth process. From level 20 to level 80, what she needs is not only materials, but also your unspoken feelings. 65 refrigerated dream boxes, 15 copies of each of the three types of prokaryotes, and over 300,000 credit points. Your accumulation and investment again and again are telling her: “You are not alone.”
And her traces are the character of her soul and the spread and development of her personality. 139 exquisite line drawings, 69 dynamic line drawings, and 18 messy sketches. Behind these strokes, there are delicate hearts painting for her, and your patience and expectations for her.
Her skill names are also poetic. “Hungry Landscape”, “Letter from Beyond the Horizon”, “Indifferent Honesty” – these are not cold words, they seem to be sentences she wrote in her diary, and wishes you have never heard. When you cast the footprints of fate for her and offer her a piece of good fortune, isn’t it like sewing starlight into her clothes?
You will run for her in the “Battlefield of the Heart Beast•Aftermath of the War” to defeat the opponent named “Flying Shadow”. But she will not rush you, nor will she complain about your slowness. She just stands there and tells you with her ever-silent eyes: “I’ll wait for you.”
And you are finally willing to prepare for her: 8 copies of Tracks of Destiny, 12 copies of Auspice Sliver, and more than 3.8 million credit points. You may not cultivate her immediately, but as long as you start collecting these materials for her, there will be a glimmer of response in her heart.
She is not the most dazzling character, nor the most popular existence. But she is like a plant that does not fight or compete, quietly growing in the corner, using her own rhythm to tell you a gentle fact: a life that is cared for will one day return warmth.
You don’t have to rush, you can prepare for her little by little in your daily leisure time. You can regard her tasks as the first ray of sunshine in the morning, as a book before going to bed at night. Not for profit, not for strength, just because you are willing to use a corner of the game to build a shelter for her.
It takes effort to obtain materials. You will go to “Simulated Calyx” to collect sketches, you will accumulate little by little in the exchange store, and you will not hesitate to challenge difficult copies for that feather. But please believe that those gentleness will not be in vain, and those efforts are quietly shining on her.
I hope you will treat her cultivation as a journey of companionship, not a task. She is not a tool, she is a soft footnote in your game life. The thoughts you put on her will be reflected back to your world bit by bit.
May you use patience to raise a small tower for her and use tenderness to illuminate her tracks. May you not ask whether it is worth it, but only ask whether you love it. In a fast-paced world, the Big Black Tower is the unpolluted spring in your heart. She does not seek noise, but only hopes that you are willing to watch quietly in the chaos of all things.
She is the quietest light in the sea of stars, and you are her only waiting hand.
