Wood Grain Game

Chen Nian, the founder of "Nianshan", was involved in the global capital darknet "Nautilus". When Yao Wang issued the final warning with a bookmark engraved with coordinates, she chose to sink "Nianshan" into the "absolutely still" deep sea. The storm came as expected. The data packet detonated by Yao Wang tore cracks in the financial system, and after Chen Nian completed his investigation in the eye of the storm, he went to Chiang Mai alone and found the "relics" he left behind. He completed the last "cleaning" with self-annihilation, erasing "Nian Shan" from the hunting list and permanently deleting himself from the world. Chen Nian returned to the small building in Chiang Mai with this price and spent seven days polishing all his father's tools. At that moment, she understood that her home was not anywhere, but in the peace that came after every concentrated work. She has since founded the Texture Archive, a non-profit organization that documents the "process memory" of endangered crafts. She went to the "Shihen" winery and understood from Xie Lan's three glasses of wine that "perfection can be created, but perfection can only emerge from life." She received two wooden spoons, which were all the reconciliation and farewell that Yao Wang made with "existence" rather than "words" after "disappearing". Finally, she used a carving knife to carve a mark on a piece of cherry wood. She wrote: "Wood has grain, and the blade has edge. Light has shape, and shadow has weight. People in the world are like swords moving against wood, leaving marks every moment." She no longer needs to fight against any system, because she has completed the reconstruction and foundation of the system within her own life. She will be her own rules, her own light source, her own notator and reader.
