For the sake of a virtual figure, why must we abandon the most beautiful time of our lives?! —— A letter to those poor souls about to embark on this one-way path, to those about to be enslaved by the game, and to those about to be crushed by the materials!
Dear players, today I want to share with you a silent, painful journey —— the preparation of materials needed for the cultivation of a new character.

Overview of Shico’s Cultivation Materials: A Suffocating Number
First, I must warn all prepared players: Please ensure that your bank account has sufficient funds, or make sure that your wife or mother won’t check the bank statement during this period. Because the following number might make you reconsider the meaning of life. To cultivate this beauty from level 0 to 90, we need to prepare the following materials:
Lamentation Ice Jade Shard: One piece! Just one piece! But behind this single number, how many sleepless nights? How many futile searches in the wilderness? How many times have we cried tears of despair staring at an empty inventory?
Lamentation Ice Jade Fragment: Nine pieces! Each piece requires searching in a desolate valley for half a day, making you feel like you’re trapped in some endless adventure game. Every time you run a dungeon, it feels like you’ve been thrown into some boundless suffering.

Strife’s Guidance: 63 copies! I’ve started to question my life. It feels like you’re trapped in some endless loop, unable to escape.
Strife’s Philosophy: 114 copies! At this point, I’ve started to ponder the meaning of life. Why is it designed this way? Why must it torment us so?
Interlocking Gear: 36 pieces! It sounds like the teeth of some mechanical monster. Every time you collect one, it feels like pulling teeth, painful and lengthy.
Mechanical Straight Gear: 96 pieces! Imagine if a robot lost all its teeth. Are we too being slowly drained by the game?
Machinery Core Gear: 129 pieces! It’s like a nightmare from robot dentistry. It feels like you’re trapped in some mechanical hell.
