Hello everyone!
The theme of this update is "Zhong Kui" — yes, the legendary ghost-catching master. The idea came to me after watching the trailer for Black Myth: Zhong Kui — a spontaneous decision, really. By the time this update finally goes live, the Hungry Ghost Festival might already be over, but hey, it was never meant to be a massive content patch anyway. Just some ghost-hunting themed goodies to set the mood.
【What's New】
Mount System Officially Launched: Ride horses or oxen with saddles and exclusive mount portraits — travel in style across the late Ming world
New Map · Chang'an: The ancient capital is now open, with more story and exploration content coming soon
Zhong Kui Temple: A special new location where you can obtain exorcist items and related quest clues

We caught the hype wave, added the content, and even if the festival's over — the spirit of Zhong Kui lives on. Come catch some ghosts!
