People often say that games are an escape from life and a temporary shelter designed by modern people. In this fast-paced world, everyone has their own rhythm and pace, and games give us a reason to escape. Every recharge in the game, every reward obtained, seems to provide us with a comfort that is no longer real, with a little bit of illusion, but it is reliable.
“Honkai Impact 3: Star Railway” is such a virtual world that exists in our modern life. It attracts people’s attention to the interstellar journey and guides every player to pursue higher goals and richer rewards. In this virtual world, the most exciting thing is nothing more than the acquisition of recharge rewards, and this expectation has not really become a topic until the first recharge reset is approaching.
April 9, 2025 will be a special day-the scheduled date for the first recharge reward reset of “Honkai Impact 3: Star Railway”. This date is not only a node in the game, it is also like a symbol in our lives, meaning a new beginning. Maybe for some people, the first recharge reset means that they can get more rewards and enjoy more benefits. For others, this date makes them start to think: Does resetting mean a new opportunity? Or is resetting just a abandonment of past choices and a correction of some virtual desires?
Every update and reward in the game seems to tell us a simple fact-in the virtual world, we always look for something certain, and this certainty is often a “reward”. And what is the ultimate meaning of this reward, whether it is “Menghua” or other virtual items? When players get these rewards through recharge, can they really get what they want in the virtual world? Or, what they get is just another unreachable dream.
I think all the players who participated in this virtual game have stopped at some point and thought about this question: What are they pursuing? Is it the joy of the moment, or the endless rewards behind it? Is it an escape from the unsatisfied desire in reality, or an unconscious choice to fill a certain emotional gap?
The reset of the stored value reward is like every node in life – it seems to be an opportunity to start over, but when you really wander between these nodes, you often find that you don’t get more satisfaction as you expected at the beginning. It’s because of the endless desire that you can never find true peace.
In the world of “Honkai Impact 3: Star Railway”, players continue to store value in order to get better characters and more rewards. This is an endless cycle. In this cycle, players constantly inject new expectations and new motivations into themselves, and these motivations always come from the desire for “rewards”. However, when the first stored value reset comes, will these new rewards bring real satisfaction? Or are these rewards just a response to some kind of illusory expectation deep in our hearts?
When we stand on the edge of the virtual world and see resets again and again, can we realize that, like many things in life, we are constantly resetting ourselves and adjusting our pace, but we have never found the true peace and answers in our hearts.
In fact, the “rewards” we pursue are just filling the emptiness in our hearts, and this filling is short-lived and cannot be eternal. You always expect more items and more virtual rewards, but you forget that what can really bring you satisfaction are those things that are not related to the game and cannot be purchased through deposits. Only those simple happiness hidden in daily life can bring you real comfort. And the rewards you get in the game are just a short-term comfort, a pastime to escape reality.
The deposit reset in “Honkai Impact 3: Star Railway” is a symbol that represents the update of the game, the change of rules, and the process of players’ continuous pursuit of rewards. However, in this process, have we ever asked ourselves what we are pursuing? Do we put too much hope on virtual rewards and ignore those real things that can bring spiritual satisfaction?
Everyone’s life has its own trajectory, and this trajectory is always changed by various “resets”. Perhaps, when we no longer rely on rewards in the virtual world, we can truly find ourselves and find the real self that is not affected by the rules of the game. And this may be the true meaning of reset. We don’t need to prove anything by depositing again and again, we just need to find our own peace and satisfaction in reality.
So, dear players, in the world of Honkai Impact 3, we continue our interstellar journey, but don’t forget that the game is virtual, and real life is the world we need to pay attention to. Between the reset and choice of life, we may get lost, but in the end, we will return to our hearts and find our own peace.
