Bi (彼) as interpreted here, it is not "enemy (敌, di)" as commonly written on more popular quotations and westernized interpretations. It simply means '''the other party'''. It also capture the essence of flexibility of interests and fluidity of the situations: one moment a friend beating a hard instance together and at the same time they could be your competitor aiming to buy the same set of materials for some end game stuff. The paradoxical situation doesn't matter, they could be both at the same time as you would be to them. | Bi (彼) as interpreted here, it is not "enemy (敌, di)" as commonly written on more popular quotations and westernized interpretations.

For this realm, to classify yourself is just to measure how materially self sufficient you are, while you should also actively try to measure the strength of the other party which is useful thing to do in many scenarios (trade, forum, even socially in general) that is how do make use of the informations you know. Doing it right it would limit your exposure to unnecessary risks and help curtain expectations (you can be seen as toxic if you demand too much from other parties without knowing their capabilities). What does it means? Practically, unique to this realm, assuming trade negotiations is conducted equally competently by both sides, the one with better positioning | For this realm, to classify yourself is just to measure how materially self sufficient you are, while you should also actively try to measure the strength of the other party which is useful thing to do in many scenarios (trade, forum, even socially in general) that is how do make use of the informations you know.

What does it means? Practically, unique to this realm, assuming trade negotiations is conducted equally competently by both sides, the one with better positioning will be the one stronger and that is how you see and quantify any deadlock in negotiations.

#Level 1 Earth; '''Not Self-Sufficient, Not Efficient, Not Effective''' / Void Stage (虚, Xū): Slow progress and will need to buy everything from other players or slowly farm it themselves. Most new players are here unless you donate the first thing you do after registering and get to sell muh vouchers for a lump sum. | #Level 1 Earth; '''Not Self-Sufficient, Not Efficient, Not Effective''' / Void Stage (虚, Xū): Slow progress and will need to buy everything from other players or slowly farm it themselves.

#Level 2 Earth; '''Not Self-Sufficient but Efficient''' / Flowing Stage (流, Liú): Obtained their first TDRC + Dimensions weapon combo. Able to start farming some of the most profitable maps (e.g. nif2). Still need to buy a lot of stuff from other players because it will still be slower if they farm those materials themselves. | #Level 2 Earth; '''Not Self-Sufficient but Efficient''' / Flowing Stage (流, Liú): Obtained their first TDRC + Dimensions weapon combo.
