1. Foreshadowing of the world view: Through the fusion of the protagonist's senses and memories, it initially shows the background of the steam industry era, the living conditions at the bottom, and the hidden "crazy" and "weird" atmosphere.
2. Introduction of the core conflict: Using the bronze mirror of the Southern Continent as an introduction, it directly cuts into the supernatural event (Old Hunter goes crazy), leads to the official extraordinary organization "Mechanical Heart", and delivers key information and items (parchment) through his colleague Randolph.
3. Cheats and suspense settings:
· Dilemma: Point out that the spiritual energy of this world is thin and full of "crazy" impurities, making it difficult to practice.
· Turning point: The "Rebirth Curse" in Eastern seal script on the parchment becomes the key to the protagonist's initial fight against "madness" and is also the core clue connecting the two civilizations.
· Suspense: What is the connection between the "gray mist ocean" reflected in the bronze mirror and the protagonist's past life knowledge? Who left the seal script? Mirror is the "door" leading to where? Is the protagonist's time traveling an accident or a plan?
4. Style fusion: In the Cthulhu-style atmosphere of unknown fear and depression, Eastern cultivation elements (gongfa, Taoist heart, seal script spells) are implanted, and they are directly collided and interacted (using Taoist heart and mantras to counter whispers).
5. Character creation: The protagonist Lu Ming is calm, cautious, and has the insight and adaptability of a cultivator. At the same time, he maintains the necessary tension and room for growth when facing a completely unfamiliar and dangerous environment.
