A 35-year-old "eight-way wanderer" lost his job? Suffering from social death? How do the protagonists in the game face the midlife crisis?

The world will always be the world of young people. Because young people are full of infinite possibilities.

Even in their favorite game world, the male and female protagonists are boys and girls aged 14- 18. They are shouting bloody slogans to defend peace and love in this world. Many "immature but correct" truths have been realized in one battle after another.

But if you are a middle-aged person, the world may not be so beautiful. You may be a boss with an "evil" plan, waiting to be defeated by the protagonist.

It may also be the handsome uncle who led the new protagonist in the early stage and died before he lived to the end.

The best result is to be beaten by the leading group and finally join their camp.

It seems that all kinds of games are full of malice to middle-aged people, and finally there is a game in which middle-aged people play the leading role. Or a drug addict who lost his wife and daughter and was paralyzed by drugs.

Aren't the middle-aged people in the game always honest and passionate from young to middle age?

With the change of time, do they want to change their ideas, or are they willing to be an NPC and become the green leaves of many protagonists?

The answer is no, but middle-aged people have to go through as many crises as they do, even more profound than the real world.

If you don't look at the title of the film, I believe it's hard for you to imagine that these two characters actually come from the relatively simple story of Passers-by in All directions. Why can a serious plot be interpreted relatively easily without making people feel depressed at all?

This may be related to the brave and optimistic attitude of these two characters.

Next, the first person we want to introduce is Aubeck, a swordsman from all directions.

In our present era, people who are 35 years old are often optimized by the company to get rid of this worry. Even recruitment is for fresh graduates and "young people" under the age of 30 to run for office. After all, people who have experienced 996 for nearly ten years have made progress in technology. A battery in which energy and physical strength are also consumed.

Aubeck, a swordsman, is also 35 years old, but he has been through many battles, and his system is quite different from that of ordinary social animals. It can be said that this age is exactly his age to play ball.

But his experience is obviously more tragic than that of ordinary social animals. Others just got fired by their boss, but Aubeck found out that the boss of the base camp was killed by his best friend when he was fighting at the front. This directly led to the rapid collapse of the kingdom. He tried to avenge his boss for the first time, but he was defeated by the other side's sword.

Although I have excellent technical strength (excellent swordsmanship, known as the knight of steel sword), I mentioned the resume of this failure when interviewing for my next job. Such a high salary will definitely not get an offer, and even if the company wants to do a background check on him, it is difficult to verify whether his resume is true, because the previous company has been completely destroyed.

His skills are relatively simple, and he doesn't manage the kingdom. Although there is the ability of one person to single out a group of people. But the company stresses teamwork. Which new place is willing to accept a bull with such superb single technical ability but such ominous fortune?

Aubeck, which has suffered a double blow. Finally, I chose a small town halfway up the mountain to remain anonymous.

If the special bandit leader hadn't robbed his town with his bare hands, he might have chosen to remain silent for life.

In the battle of guarding, the child who admired himself was taken away by the mountain thief (in fact, in other games, the protagonist should be the story of the child's growth, and it is fun to play tricks here), and Aubeck chased the mountain thief's lair. When he defeated the bandit leader, he learned that he had betrayed the king's friend, the knight of the sword.

More importantly, he found that the sword in his hand can still protect those who need protection.

In order to get the reason of "betrayal" of friends (sword knights), in order to find the meaning of wielding swords. Aubeck embarked on a journey.

After a big war, all doubts vanished.

Knights of Steel Sword and Fierce Sword choose to read each other's beliefs in their swords. Although I am not a swordsman personally, I understand this feeling.

Take the words and languages that we usually use the most. This is a medium for transmitting information. However, due to the different levels of people who use words, people who accept words feel different. The transmission of this information will be lossy.

Just like a piece of music, it can convey sadness and joy that words can't express.

Although the sword is only a dead thing, in the hands of the strong, each other can understand each other's will and thoughts by waving the sword. So many times, the way Aubeck knows is to play a game.

In this confrontation, Aubeck and his good friend reached a settlement.

The most touching story of swordsman Aubeck. This is not a reconciliation with your best friend. But the last war, with the mercenary leader and the initiator of destroying the country (this statement is not entirely accurate), was in Vienna.

Vienna is also a top swordsman, even the knight of the sword must be careful.

However, when he was defeated by the swordsman's sword, the tyrant of the ruling party never agreed with the concept of "a sword that exists to protect others" and chose to commit suicide.

A person who can stick to his heart may have a disgusting behavior and a completely disrespectful practice.

But it does have some charm in personality.

The story of the swordsman begins with the confusion of losing everything. Regain the meaning of wielding a sword (where your ability can play a role). The boss we met at the end of the trip told us. Even if you think your idea is extremely correct, there will always be people in this world who disagree with you.

It is this "black" that makes this story more like an adult fairy tale.

On the positive side, it is precisely because there are people like Vienna in the world. Aubeck, who protects others, has reason to protect others with his sword.

Scholar Silas

Silas, who works in Wang Li College, is clever and looks extraordinary. Compared with those swordsmen who suffered from "force majeure" wars and carefully planned plots.

What happened to Silas may be even more speechless and frightening to us now.

I like her schoolgirl because Silas is not interested in her. Because the princess asked Silas a few more questions, she suddenly had a concussion in love and decided to let this respected professor "die".

So she went to the headmaster of the school and told him that Silas, as a professor, used his position to force the princess to fall in love with him and lost his integrity as a teacher.

Such a story is put in the real world. Considering a CCTV host named Zhu and Tsinghua's senior, this is extremely fatal. Such "sexual harassment" incidents, whether true or false, will hit the man indiscriminately.

Faced with such a frame-up, the general parties will inevitably fall into panic, anxiety and even suffer from depression.

However, Silas chose to take advantage of this opportunity of "resigning as a teacher" to go around the world to find the book of border prisons lost by libraries. It can be said that Silas' heart has not been defiled by worldly money, women and status. In his mind, there is only the desire to seek knowledge and the desire to spread knowledge.

It's hard not to admire a person who has such a clear and clean heart. (But I have to say that Mr. Sai can really fight, and he is a scholar on the surface. As a result, he can raise his hand with fire, frost and lightning, and he is the backbone of the team in the early and middle stages. )

As a drama, the story between travelers from all directions is extremely short.

However, although the plot is short, there are many ups and downs.

For example, in the follow-up story, we know that the person the princess really admires is not scholar Silas.

Such a plot will definitely give players who feel good about themselves a head-on blow (not that you are handsome, and the opposite sex in the world will like you). It is this detail that makes the story of Traveler from All Sides appear short and pithy, but it is quite interesting after careful tasting.

The two protagonists described above are able to stick to their original intentions, not afraid of the crisis they face, and find what they want on the journey.

Looking back at the reality, what makes us middle-aged people in our thirties get old?

Is it the pressure created by public opinion or the dilemma in reality?

For this question, I think the choice of the two protagonists seems to give me a good answer.

The swordsman honed his fencing all the way. Silas visited others all the way to increase his knowledge.

I think, if we don't forget from beginning to end, we shouldn't just pursue the elusive word "success". Keep learning about your favorite field.

Then, nothing can stop us from moving forward.

Postscript: I have recently contacted many young authors. I like their articles more and more, and I have learned many skills that I would never have imagined behind closed doors. I think when a person is really old, it is time to refuse to accept knowledge and progress.

As for how public opinion and others view middle-aged people, we might as well let him go. Since everyone is independent and has their own personality, why should they be willing to do their statistics?
