Scroll Of Taiwu - 促织化影

Taiwu Village is where the thoughts and desires of countless living beings converge. Even the crickets that once chirped among its fields have been imbued with Spiritual Qi.
Introduces 22 special crickets, including Champion Cricket: Unique and "Dullard." These crickets not only learn brand-new duel skills, but can also pass their unique arts on to others of their kind, bringing a fresh twist to the classic cricket-fighting experience. Through training and battle, every cricket can continue to grow stronger. With unique talents and traits, each one offers new possibilities for building a team that's truly your own.
Nurtured by Spiritual Qi, these 22 special crickets can even transform into human form!
After transforming, they live much like ordinary people. They can grow old, fall ill, form relationships, marry, and have children. They also come with exclusive support commands and martial art configurations, allowing them to accompany you on your journey and fight by your side.

[Trigger Conditions]
(1) Upon entering the game, the new "Spirituality" attribute and Cricket Growth system will be unlocked.
(2) The "Cricket Showcase" in Taiwu Village will be upgraded into the new Cricket Chamber.

[Cricket Chamber]
(1) Place the appropriate core materials in the chamber to instantly strengthen its Spirit-Gathering effect and increase its level. Core materials can also be removed at any time if needed elsewhere.
(2) Raising the Cricket Chamber's level slows the aging of crickets housed within it, grants them Spirituality each month, improves the Durability recovery of Cricket Pots, and increases the chance of a cricket taking human form when the month advances.
(3) At certain levels, the Cricket Chamber unlocks the "Spirit Reviving Jade." Use this jade to disperse a transformed cricket's Spiritual Qi and return it to its original form, allowing it to once again participate in cricket matches.
(4) At certain levels, the Cricket Chamber unlocks "Cricket Wishing." Spend enough Cricket Affinity to make a wish for a specific Champion Cricket: Unique. A special capture site will appear near Taiwu Village, where the chosen Champion Cricket is guaranteed to emerge.

[Cricket Growth]
(1) A cricket's Spirituality is capped at 1000. Spirituality can be accumulated by winning matches, feeding it Souldew, or housing it in the Cricket Chamber.
(2) For every 100 Spirituality gained, the cricket's overflowing Spiritual Qi triggers an attribute growth. The direction of this growth is determined by its origin and base color.
(3) All 22 special crickets possess unique duel skills of their own, even before taking human form.
(4) Once a cricket has transformed, it can replace the active cricket's skill with one of its own duel skills, introducing new tactical possibilities to every match.

[Human Transformation]
(1) When a Champion Cricket: Unique or Dullard reaches maximum Spirituality, place it in the Cricket Chamber and wait. Each month, there is a chance for a unique monthly event to occur, allowing the cricket to take human form. However, such opportunities are rare—within each cricket type, only one may successfully ascend into human form.
(2) After transforming, each cricket possesses its own strengths and characteristics. Like ordinary people, they can train, gain experience, continue to grow, form relationships, marry, and have children.
(3) Though transformed crickets see the world differently from humans, they are not exempt from the passage of time. When a transformed cricket reaches the end of its lifespan, it will revert to its original form before passing away and quietly return to your Travel Bag. It can then be revived using the Royalty Aspiration Skill.
(4) Transformed crickets gain access to a total of 22 exclusive support commands, becoming powerful companions on your journey through the martial world.
May these tiny voices from the grasslands bring comfort to your travels. And to all successors of Taiwu, may fate lead you to the companions you seek.
