By the way, February 14th is an important day: it marks the anniversary of the creation of the world’s first computer, ENIAC, at the University of Pennsylvania. The birth of ENIAC signified the dawn of a new era, and computers have been with us for 76 years now. So, today, let’s take a moment to step away from other tasks and spend some time with our computers!

Endless Mode is way too OP, so here’s one last small update before the New Year.
Wishing you good fortune and prosperity in the coming year!

I. Feature Improvements

Adjusted attribute balance for Endless Mode.

II. Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where the purple ginseng spirit’s HP would skyrocket, making it unkillable.

Fixed an issue where switching skins in the Luck menu wouldn’t display the change.
