As I reminisce about those five centuries trapped beneath the Five Elements Mountain, I recall how those humble beers brewed from mystical hops kept my spirit alive. Now, as the Destined One traversing this demon-infested world, I've discovered these earthly brews carry far more power than my old prison drinks. Each sip not only heals my wounds but awakens ancient memories of celestial banquets where gods drank jade dew and laughed at mortality. The connection between wine and enlightenment has always flowed through my veins - from the drunken rebellion in Heaven to these very moments where a gulp of magic liquor means survival against primordial evils.

• Why alcohol as healing items? ☯️ In Journey to the West lore, wine symbolizes spiritual liberation. Remember my heavenly rampage after drinking celestial wines? Game Science studio honors this by making brews central to combat flow.

Beyond the Gourd: A Drunken Sage's Vision
As I journey toward 2026, I dream of breweries where gamers craft real-world versions of these elixirs. Imagine sipping physical Bluebridge Romance at gaming conventions! Game Science could revolutionize merch with drinkable lore - each bottle containing AR codes unlocking in-game buffs. Perhaps one day, my beloved Flower-Fruit Mountain will host a festival where mortals taste virtual wines under real stars, blurring realms just as these brews blur health bars and magic meters. For now, raise your gourds fellow pilgrims - may your crits be vicious and your dodges impeccable! 🐒🍶
