• Fashionwave Report: TrueGold Financial has piloted a service accepting high-value items as collateral. It's said that the appraisal room is now filled with a variety of peculiarly shaped acorns, pumpkin sculptures, and memory journals.

• Fashionwave Report: TrueGold Financial has repainted the sign slogan at its headquarters entrance, which now reads "Do Not Give Acorns to Strange Squirrels."
• Fashionwave Report: A branch of TrueGold Financial has tried to launch a program called "Pawn Tracing," which allows applicants to view the historical connection between their own application and the first transaction recorded at the Gilded Acorn Pawnshop in Star Year 34.

• Fashionwave Report: Projects including the Land Swimming Simulator and Treasure Appraisal have received investment from the Merchant Guild.
• Fashionwave Report: TrueGold Financial, under the Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild, plans to increase investment in small and medium-sized companies across various regions.

Within the Spirit Realm, the Rumble Adventure Park and B&W Sea Fisheries on Whale Island are also among the beneficiaries.
• Fashionwave Report: TrueGold Financial has invested in a large number of life assistant development projects, including both conventional tech and psionic tech products. However, most are focused on daily decisions, such as what to have for dinner and what time to get up tomorrow.
• Fashionwave Report: Someone applied for funding from TrueGold Financial on the grounds of using moonlight energy instead of Astralis energy. After a thorough evaluation, the company declined the request.

• Fashionwave Report: With investment from the Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild, the United Cultural Organization has announced a new extension of its World Exploration project—an Interstellar Exploration branch. The initial targets include finding a planet where acorns grow on their own.
• Fashionwave Report: A special manned aircraft R&D project has secured investment from TrueGold Financial.

An anonymous member of the squirrel family said, "Hopefully it can at least be used for internal commuting."
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild has diversified its investments across emerging industries in the three major nations of the New World.

• Fashionwave Report: The headquarters of the Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild issued a statement naming TrueGold Financial, Acorn Store, and the Gilded Acorn Exhibition as its key pillar businesses. An employee from one of the Merchant Guild's general store brands added a comment, "And the general store" upon reposting. The remark unexpectedly sparked a trend, with employees from the acquisitions, order fulfillment, insurance, real estate, and logistics departments soon following suit in the same format.
• Fashionwave Report: An emerging video platform has approached TrueGold Financial for investment, with its key selling point being videos that offer three-minute recaps of a whole fashion show.
• Fashionwave Report: The pet lifestyle sector has recently drawn the attention of TrueGold Financial. Funding has been allocated to various public welfare projects and organizations, including the pet psionic therapy centers, pet mood diners, pet's home, and pet travel services.
• Fashionwave Report: A startup team working on "collecting sunset glow for later use" has received a special New-Generation Energy grant from TrueGold Financial. The decision has drawn some criticism, with one commenting, "If moonlight energy isn't allowed but sunset glow is, that's outright discrimination against the Eclipse Era."
• Fashionwave Report: Acorn Insurance, under the Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild, is reportedly planning to expand its offerings with several new policies, including coverage for insomnia, hair loss, and acorn storage.
• Fashionwave Report: The pet insurance policy introduced by Acorn Insurance, which includes a home destruction level assessment, has drawn protests from some policyholders who thought of it as a form of breed discrimination.
• Fashionwave Report: The Marine Archaeology Team of the Cultural Heritage Association recently purchased group coverage for deep-dive operations from Acorn Insurance. "I honestly thought we'd get turned down," one of the team members said. "But they seem to have great confidence in our mechanic, Jelani."
• Fashionwave Report: Acorn Insurance, under the Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild, has encountered a minor paradox when handling its insomnia coverage claims: applicants who can submit a complete chain of evidence are generally not the ones truly suffering from insomnia. The claims team is currently discussing new methods of certification, with options including verification of moon-gazing duration, star counts, and acorn counts.
• Fashionwave Report: After a group of forest workers purchased their accidental falling-branch coverage with Acorn Insurance, they discovered that the reinforced tool bag offered for free was far more practical than expected. According to Cassie from Whale Island within the Spirit Realm, the bag comes in bright colors that are popular with small animals, and has just enough room to fit a small squirrel—wait, Cassie didn't say what she planned to use the bag for.
• Fashionwave Report: Acorn Insurance saw strong sales of its What-Not-to-Wear Insurance launched during the fashion week. Article 7 of the policy terms states: Claims resulting from matching outfits with cover stars of major magazines such as NovaTrend, whether January or December issues, will not be accepted. It's said that the clause was personally proposed by Annagefield.
• Fashionwave Report: The auditing department at Acorn Insurance has a small tradition: every time a new insurance policy is approved, a small acorn is dropped into a shared acorn jar. The jar reportedly has quietly grown from squirrel-tail size to whole-squirrel size—a practice they admit was borrowed from TrueGold Financial.
• Fashionwave Report: Private island development projects have begun to show early results. Gilded Acorn Estates is now turning its attention to certain unclaimed territories both within and outside the Spirit Realm.
• Fashionwave Report: Gilded Acorn Estates has entered into a long-term partnership with Bob, a prominent figure in the home furnishings industry. Under the agreement, all Gilded Acorn Estates showrooms will be designed by Bob's team, which will also provide high-end residential furnishing consultancy services for the company's premium properties. Sources indicate, however, that the signing wasn't conducted by Bob himself, but by his apprentices accompanied by several beavers.
• Fashionwave Report: Signs for Gilded Acorn Estates branches across various regions have been uniformly redesigned by the Gilded Acorn Exhibition team. Each time a new sign is installed, employees give it a nickname. It's said that the latest version at one particular branch has been privately called "Eye-Rolling Squirrel", as the design features a squirrel whose eye whites take up two-thirds of the expression.
• Fashionwave Report: The owner of a century-old residence requested to preserve traces of the long-established squirrel activity when purchasing the Heritage Renewal service from Gilded Acorn Estates. Delighted by the request, the design team happily offered a 50% discount.

• Fashionwave Report: Gilded Acorn Estates plans to launch a public welfare housing project targeting marine animals that have lost their homes due to climate change.
• Fashionwave Report: A real estate mix-up in the New World: a seaside villa buyer received a renovated old house instead. The mistake stemmed from two property owners sharing the exact same name and date of birth.
• Fashionwave Report: A vacation villa project at the foot of a snow mountain near the polar region has been a runaway hit since launch, marketed under the slogan: On a clear day, you can see the whole Polar Ice City. However, one resident who moved in has reportedly not caught a single glimpse of Polar Ice City over the past year. Shivering during an interview, they questioned, "When exactly counts as a clear day?!"
• Fashionwave Report: Gilded Acorn Estates has released an internal training case study: an owner requested to remove the roof during the purchase. After multiple rounds of communication, it was discovered that the owner was an astronomy enthusiast whose actual intention was to replace the roof with a stargazing dome.
• Fashionwave Report: Gilded Acorn Estates has taken on part of the infrastructure work for an island nation's capital relocation project. Upon their return, the project team brought back several cases of volcanic ash bricks from the site. After discussion, the designers decided to use them as thresholds for the next batch of high-end properties so that every owner who steps inside can feel the thrill of the volcano under their feet.
• Fashionwave Report: During the renovation of the World United Government headquarters, the construction team discovered a set of small chairs designed for squirrels under the conference table. The chairs showed little sign of use, suggesting they had failed to win the favor of squirrels.
• Fashionwave Report: Renovation plans for the main venue of the Gilded Acorn Exhibition have been rolled out in phases, with Gilded Acorn Estates overseeing the structural work and curator Conor taking charge of quality control.
• Fashionwave Report: The immersive experience system developed by Gilded Acorn Tech has entered internal trials, enabling users to remotely experience the product through full simulation. Notably, while the system was developed as conventional tech, some have questioned whether they may have secretly used psionic power. The person in charge firmly denied that in an interview, but their credibility was somewhat undermined by their shifty eyes.
• Fashionwave Report: The black leather jacket has been hailed in conventional tech circles as the most recognizable symbol of tech-inspired fashion.
• Fashionwave Report: A major breakthrough has been achieved in the everyday application of conventional tech. Residents of the New World have grown accustomed to asking the Smart Vase at their doorstep, "What's for dinner?"
• Fashionwave Report: A robot dog performance at an international conventional tech exhibition has unexpectedly gone viral, with its cute little head tilt winning over audiences.
• Fashionwave Report: Gilded Acorn Tech has upgraded its Smart Vase product, expanding its suggestions beyond dinner options to a broader range of daily decisions plus practical assistance. Meanwhile, some have begun compiling a research report on flavor preference variations in the vase's meal suggestions. Reportedly, acorn-shaped toast appears with unusually high frequency in its breakfast recommendations.
• Fashionwave Report: After the "cute head tilt" trend went viral, Gilded Acorn Tech has accelerated the development of home-use robot dogs. According to sources close to the testing team, the most demanding task currently facing the R&D team is formulating individualized tilt curve parameters for each model. After all, no one can objectively prove just how many degrees of tilt make the perfect angle.
• Fashionwave Report: Both conventional and psionic tech products for daily use need a healthy dose of humor—this has been a frequent topic at recent New World tech forums.
• Fashionwave Report: Conventional tech circles hold a low opinion of chat coffee umbrellas. They generally regard using psionic powers to aid communication as total overkill. In response, a psionic researcher simply replied: "Thank you."
• Fashionwave Report: A list of abandoned projects from Gilded Acorn Tech has accidentally leaked. Among them was one titled "Brainwave Synchronizer." On the first page of its evaluation report, there was nothing but a line of bold text: TOO TERRIFYING. DO NOT PROCEED.
• Fashionwave Report: The Acorn Watch, one of Gilded Acorn Tech's flagship products, has received another upgrade. Users can now track friends in real-time even outside the Spirit Realm, as long as those friends have enabled their navigation beacon signal.
• Fashionwave Report: Gilded Acorn Tech, in collaboration with the School of Conventional Tech, has achieved a phased breakthrough in cross-medium micro-vibration attenuation. The related paper has been officially accepted by the Joint Journal of Technology, with its citation count ranking among the journal's top three this quarter. The team is now working to apply the findings to both consumer and industrial product lines. Among the first batch of candidate applications, one has drawn particular attention from senior leadership: a warehousing packaging solution that keeps sound pressure imperceptible when an acorn falls onto any container surface.
• Fashionwave Report: The new-generation low-power chip released by Gilded Acorn Tech last year has entered the tape-out validation phase. The technology has reduced the standby power consumption of all smart home products under the Acorn Store to just one-tenth that of competing products. The first batch of sample chips was required to bear a gilded acorn logo on the case, a decision described in engineering review minutes as "a necessary aesthetic call with no performance impact."
• Fashionwave Report: Gilded Acorn Tech's Joint Bionics Lab has released its latest research findings: a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical joint designed for high-frequency gripping and rapid balance tasks. Tests reportedly show its movement agility exceeds current industrial standards by more than ten times, fully capable of executing quirky "continuous moves". When pressed about the inspiration for the prototype during the press conference, the person in charge said it "drew reference from the sudden movements of Spirit Realm residents."
• Fashionwave Report: Gilded Acorn Tech's Cross-Border Communications Lab has announced another successful validation in the field of cross-border signal transmission. The relevant conventional tech is now capable of enabling long-distance, real-time information exchange in environments fully shielded from psionic interference. Kaka, an employee of Whale Island Town Radio in the Spirit Realm, asked at the press conference whether the technology could reliably transmit radio signals across realms. No substantive answer has been given so far.
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild headquarters has decided to increase its investment in the energy sector, with a focus on the efficient use of non-renewable energy sources, and in-depth research into projects including the effectiveness of psionic tech in conventional tech products.
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild has recently launched a series of geothermal potential assessment projects within the Spirit Realm, with the site at Onsen Mountain on Whale Island standing out. Upon hearing the news, Eric, manager of the Rumble Adventure Park, reportedly volunteered to suspend park operations during the assessment period in order to avoid interfering with survey data. However, the assessment team said it was unnecessary, as "the park has a limited number of active attractions."
• Fashionwave Report: The psionic-catalyzed renewable fuel battery, jointly developed by the Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild and the School of Psionic Tech, has passed final acceptance. Compared to purely conventional tech solutions, its energy conversion efficiency has been significantly improved. During the collaboration, the two sides held lengthy discussions over which faction led the achievement. The final decision was to feature the breakthrough on the front page of both parties' annual reports simultaneously.
• Fashionwave Report: Gilded Acorn Energy's proposal for the exterior design of a new energy storage tank was sent back three times by the review committee, due to the significant adverse effect of the shape on heat dissipation efficiency.
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild has signed a close cooperation agreement with the Marine Archaeology Team under the United Cultural Organization. The team will provide basic tidal and submarine current data from suitable areas surveyed during their expeditions, for use in the Guild's new-generation tidal power stations. The collaboration, however, didn't have a smooth start. When the head of the Marine Archaeology Team received the letter of intent for cooperation, he replied: "Why would you come to us for this kind of work?"
• Fashionwave Report: On the closing day of the New World Energy Outlook Summit, the School of Conventional Tech and the School of Psionic Tech issued a joint statement on the future direction of mainstream energy. The statement listed only three points of consensus, and then noted: "Significant differences remain on other issues, which will be outlined in each party's respective annual report."
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild has signed a joint deployment contract with the World United Government for a new-generation smart transport network, covering major cities across the three nations of the New World. The possibility of visiting three countries in a single day has greatly increased.
• Fashionwave Report: Various branches of the Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild have recently rolled out an annual employee benefit: a moonlight crystal allowance, which can be used to purchase designated psionic products. An employee asked on the internal forum whether this represented a benefits upgrade or a move to stimulate internal consumption. The most upvoted reply under the post so far said: "Yes."
• Fashionwave Report: The World United Government Trade Commission has released a new edition of the Cross-Border Trade White Paper, featuring a new section titled "Grading Specifications for Non-Fungible Natural Goods." For the first time, it classifies acorns into seven trading tiers based on nine indicators including appearance integrity, weight deviation, and origin purity. This has led to widespread suspicion that the Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild was behind the move.
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild's annual category turnover report shows that its total number of cross-border trade categories has surpassed 100,000. Among the top ten most active categories, the three from the Spirit Realm, without exception, all take "psionic tech applications" as their core keyword.
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild has launched a Real-Time Remote Customs Clearance service for its trade partners, allowing merchants to complete customs settlement across realms via dedicated psionic channels, significantly reducing clearance wait times compared to traditional methods. This is reportedly the outcome of three years of negotiations between the Guild and New World nations.
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild's logistics network is expected to join forces with psionic teleportation tech, aiming to achieve lightning-fast, realm-wide delivery in the near future.
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Logistics' new-generation temperature-controlled warehousing network now covers all major ports outside the Spirit Realm, with single-node temperature fluctuations held to within one-tenth of traditional systems. Among the first pilot clients, the Annagefield Corporation remains the most active, driven by its unique obsession—unmatched by any other brand—with ensuring fashion samples keep their shape during cross-border transport.
• Fashionwave Report: Reliable sources tell, Gilded Acorn Logistics is set to add new scheduled freight runs within the Spirit Realm. The general goods merchant Ka Ching and gold merchant Albert Jr stationed on Whale Island have both been particularly active about it. Ka Ching expects a wider variety of goods, including more psionic tech products, while Albert Jr simply hopes to quickly circulate the inventory stockpiled on the island, as his residence is nearly full.
• Fashionwave Report: With Gilded Acorn Tech backing the effort, Gilded Acorn Logistics has made delivering fresh acorns to Polar Ice City part of its outlook for the new year.
• Fashionwave Report: The head of a logistics company has publicly expressed envy over the speed and reliability of Gilded Acorn Logistics, noting that during a past incident where intense psionic interference paralyzed large-scale conventional transport within the Spirit Realm, Gilded Acorn Logistics had a delay rate of nearly zero. "The only reason you don't get your delivery from Gilded Acorn is that they've decided not to send it to you," he said.
• Fashionwave Report: A fashion curation forum planned to invite Young Annagefield as a guest speaker, but after days of fruitless stakeouts due to his elusive whereabouts, they had no choice but to give up. Some insiders claimed that Conor had no issue with the forum's theme itself, but was furious at being addressed as Young Annagefield in the invitation, so he refused out of anger.
• Fashionwave Report: The two spellings of the Annagefield Corporation's trademark have consistently confused both parties in business cooperation. But when a news journalist contacted relevant parties about this, the response was that even Conor himself mixes the two when signing.
• Fashionwave Report: Annagefield's training assignment for trainee designers has been leaked: draw a squirrel portrait using the color palette of Elaina's Glasses.
• Fashionwave Report: A critical publication run by Courbet published a lengthy review this quarter on the new generation of young designers, in which the phrase "far from enough" sparked a heated discussion for being overly sharp and was widely cited across the industry. One mainstream fashion outlet, after using the phrase, added over 7,000 words of clarification, yet was still discussing the same thing.
• Fashionwave Report: Tiger Faster claimed that Conor came up with a nickname for the theme of each Gilded Acorn Exhibition, for example, Heartbond Vow was "a couple dragging the God of Love out to endorse them." Of course, neither the Gilded Acorn Exhibition team nor the Annagefield spokesperson has acknowledged this claim.
• Fashionwave Report: Reportedly, Conor was once again absent from the latest cross-border fashion roundtable, with his squirrel partner attending and speaking on his behalf. Someone has secretly calculated that over the past year, Conor's attendance rate at such meetings has been less than 10%.
• Fashionwave Report: An unofficial style analysis inside the Annagefield Corporation reveals that Conor, the third-generation head of the brand, strictly follows the rule of either extreme minimalism or extreme extravagance in his public attire. The former appears far more frequently than the latter, and there has never been any middle ground.
• Fashionwave Report: Dorothee, once Annagefield's exclusive model, has seen a sharp decline in public appearances in recent years. Drawing on comments she made in past interviews, industry insiders speculate that after reaching the pinnacle of her career, she decided to pivot and focus on her styling career.
• Fashionwave Report: A fan of former supermodel Dorothee wrote to the Annagefield Corporation hoping to inquire about her recent whereabouts, and only received this reply, "Thank you, but this is Annagefield. You should address your letter to the de Lévis household."
• Fashionwave Report: The fashion week special edition team of NovaTrend magazine has long been stationed in the Annagefield Corporation's sample room. There is an unwritten rule when two successive reporters hand over their duties: always read Courbet's expression first. This is said to be the simplest way to judge the tone of the season's review.
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild once considered increasing its investment in the joint fashion week and furniture week exhibition. This move was seen as a vote of confidence in the crowdfunding support formed by independent teams participating in the exhibition. However, the proposal was quickly shelved, reportedly because Conor strongly opposed it, on the grounds that "small and medium teams need space to grow independently".
• Fashionwave Report: Dorothee has kept a low profile ever since her sudden retirement in Star Year 117, making her whereabouts difficult to track. But recently, someone spotted the name "Dorothee Madeleine Morin de Lévis" on the draft guest list for the wedding of a senior executive at the Annagefield Corporation. This is believed to be Dorothee's first public appearance since her retreat.
• Fashionwave Report: Due to excessive media attention, the wedding of the senior executive at the Annagefield Corporation, which Dorothee is rumored to attend, will be changed from a public event to a small, private ceremony.
• Fashionwave Report: Recently, regarding the rumor that Dorothee may be returning to the public eye, NovaTrend sought to arrange a special comeback interview for Fashion Week. The Annagefield Corporation's reply was just one line, "It's up to her." As of press time, she has made no public response, and the interview plan has been put on hold.
• Fashionwave Report: The Annagefield Corporation has announced preparations for a retrospective of founder Elaina's early works, with plans for a touring exhibition across major cities in the New World and Conor serving as lead curator. However, given Conor's busy schedule with the Gilded Acorn Exhibition, the plan remains highly subject to change.
• Fashionwave Report: The main venue of the Gilded Acorn Exhibition has undergone structural renovations. The Gilded Acorn Estates handled the foundational engineering, while Conor invited Bob's team to take part in design review throughout the process. According to an announcement from the Gilded Acorn Merchant Guild, the renovated exhibition hall now has more load-bearing supports and walls, enabling it to display a wider variety of fashion pieces and hanging furniture.
• Fashionwave Report: Courbet has published the latest year-opening review this quarter, featuring a lengthy analysis of trends among major New World brands over the past year. The list of brands explicitly named in the review has expanded significantly compared to previous issues, but the industry is hardly surprised. After all, every year around this time, the publication always devotes more space to this column.
• Fashionwave Report: The Annagefield Corporation has reached an agreement with the New World United Arts and Culture Museum to jointly organize a cross-media research exhibition centered on the brand's iconic design language. In addition to physical garments, the exhibition will also feature original sketches from three generations of designers, using prints, color, and hidden motifs as three core elements to trace the internal evolution of Annagefield's design over the decades. Academia widely regards this as a rare precedent for the museum of the New World to conduct academic-level research on a fashion brand.
• Fashionwave Report: The Annagefield Corporation and a composer studio have jointly released an original suite created for the brand's new collection. Reportedly, the tracks were only finalized after multiple rounds of back-and-forth with Conor. The corporation officially positions the suite on the same tier as this season's new fashion pieces. The industry has noted that this is the first time Annagefield has formally framed music as a core brand image medium, on equal footing with fashion.
• Fashionwave Report: For the host city selection of the latest Aster Games, comfortable accommodation and distinctive local cuisine have been made core evaluation criteria.
• Fashionwave Report: New changes to the host city selection rules for the Aster Games! On top of the previously added criteria of accommodations and cuisine, the committee has now introduced local residents' historical enthusiasm for pep rally as an additional scoring dimension. The industry speculates that this will give more opportunities to certain distinctive cities that have ranked high on the leaderboard in recent years.
• Fashionwave Report: Ahead of the new season, the Aster Games Committee has been sending out invitations to the organizations on the invited list, and the Island Guild holds one of the spots as a representative from within the Spirit Realm. The Guild's headquarters is currently in internal discussions over two possible paths: sending athlete representatives or launching pep rally. Spokesperson Atara publicly stated: "This time, we may lean toward the option that lets more people participate together."
• Fashionwave Report: The specific arrangements for this season's Aster Games Pep Rally event have been confirmed. As in previous years, the event will roll out in stages according to the track schedule, covering warm-ups, ready positions, sprints, relays, race walking, long-distance running and more. The track organizing committee stated: "Even in regions with no competing athletes or organized cheering events, everyone is welcome to run along for a stretch."
• Fashionwave Report: The culture special issue of NovaTrend published an in-depth article this quarter on the four colors of the Aster Games logo, exploring how green, blue, yellow, and orange correspond to the four spirits of luck, effort, competition, and unity, and tracing their origins in ancient legends of the Solar Era. The article concludes by quoting the complete declaration passed down to this day from the Aster Games, "We strive, we unite, we do not resist competition but compete in peace, and all of this brings luck." The text didn't elaborate further on this point, yet reader engagement has surged significantly.
• Fashionwave Report: The new season of the Aster Football Cup has officially entered its main stage. The committee announced a 40% expansion in participating teams compared to previous editions, with the semi-finals and finals being jointly hosted by three major nations for the first time. While the three nations have held differing views on many issues in recent years, they quickly reached a consensus on the question of which stadium deserved to host the final—each would host one. One anonymous player complained: "This is just a total hassle!"
• Fashionwave Report: The School of Psionic Tech claims to have made major progress in the application of psionic teleportation tech in regions where psionic power cannot be perceived at all.
• Fashionwave Report: The School of Psionic Tech claims to have achieved a phased breakthrough in the application of psionic positioning and real-time navigation outside the Spirit Realm. Researchers have achieved precise location tracking of individuals within a given area through multi-point interpretation of psionic microcurrents. The first batch of prototype devices is said to have been deployed to assist field expeditions in certain regions. But the School of Conventional Tech commented: "Old news. Conventional tech mastered applications in this field long ago."
• Fashionwave Report: The School of Psionic Tech has released recent progress on research into translating linguistic signals within psionic perception. The current prototype system can convert psionic fluctuations within a very small range into fragments of common language, but its credibility is questionable. Because the translated output shows most psionic fluctuations simply repeat one high-frequency word: "Huh?"
• Fashionwave Report: A newly released research report from the School of Psionic Tech shows that some psionic collectors exhibit a phenomenon called "lagging echoes" after prolonged high-intensity operation. This causes operators near the devices to experience a split-second distortion in their perception of time and space, creating the illusion that the last second seemed to come from farther away.
• Fashionwave Report: The School of Psionic Tech and a working group from the Cultural Heritage Association have jointly released observational data on psionic intensity fluctuations during the Grimkin Night, covering records spanning nearly a century. They conclude that the distribution of anomalous psionic intensity during the Grimkin Night differs from that of regular seasons, but not significantly, which means there has been no breakthrough in research on the Grimkin Night for now.
• Fashionwave Report: Research into molecular self-repair technology for roads, in which the School of Conventional Tech had heavily invested, has stalled. But the technology appears to be finding applications in cell repair projects for beauty product lines.
• Fashionwave Report: The School of Conventional Tech's newly developed smart vacuum scooter is about to be deployed in major cities across the New World to ease the workload of street cleaners.
• Fashionwave Report: The reason the first batch of smart waste-sorting robots failed testing is that they mistakenly identified various branded paper bags collected by trial volunteers as recyclable waste.
• Fashionwave Report: A long-standing space exploration signal enhancement project led by the School of Conventional Tech has been suspended, but the related technology unexpectedly achieved an application breakthrough in the signal reinforcement module of urban underground pipeline monitoring systems, and is now in trial operation in some cities of the New World.
• Fashionwave Report: The smart sleep-regulating headrest developed by the School of Conventional Tech has been put into trial use on long-distance commuter routes in several major cities across the New World. The effect has been so pronounced that multiple transit operators report a marked rise in passengers missing their stops.
• Fashionwave Report: The field test report for the new generation of autonomous vehicles has revealed an unexpected finding that while identifying intersection traffic signals, the automated system repeatedly issued deceleration commands in response to a roadside restaurant named "Red Light." The R&D team is currently adjusting the semantic module of the visual recognition model.
• Fashionwave Report: The Sunflower Panel project, developed by the School of Conventional Tech for suburban energy self-sufficiency, has been redirected. Its photovoltaic materials will now be used in midday awning systems for primary and secondary schools in the Middle South Kingdom.
• Fashionwave Report: Smart sorting robots piloted at several public libraries across the New World encountered an unexpected issue within their first month. The robots rearranged books from different categories based on cover color similarity, significantly lengthening the paths readers must take to find books compared to expectations.
• Fashionwave Report: The School of Conventional Tech has released field test results for its new generation of low-energy atmospheric water harvesting devices, with a single device achieving a daily water yield three times the previous record in arid regions of the New World. The research team stated that future applications will focus on developing drinking water systems for remote island nations outside the Spirit Realm, with the first batch of partners including several coastal towns long dependent on seawater desalination.
• Fashionwave Report: The School of Conventional Tech has announced that a new recyclable packaging material made from marine byproducts harvested in specific waters within the Spirit Realm has now passed key strength tests. Multiple consumer product brands have publicly expressed interest in licensing the technology. However, some critics argued that tech products using materials from the Spirit Realm aren't pure enough.
• Fashionwave Report: The low-noise civil aircraft has passed final certification by the New World United Aviation Authority, with sound pressure levels during takeoff and landing reduced by over ninety percent compared to aircraft currently in service. But residents near airports reported that their main complaint is no longer flight noise, but the fact that they can no longer tell by sound whether their family members have landed.
• Fashionwave Report: The School of Conventional Tech's new-generation maglev line has completed pre-operation testing for the first long-distance transnational route in the New World, with negligible operational deviation. One business traveler remarked, "I used to finish one and a half cups of coffee on this stretch, now I only get three sips." Someone replied below, "Then your coffee must be very bitter."
• Fashionwave Report: The previously high-profile innovative medical project, a smart dialogue device for psychological therapy, has now entered clinical trials. One trial participant requested the ability to customize the conversation partner's appearance, because the default is a squirrel that makes them feel like every word drains their coins.
• Fashionwave Report: Research has found that smart gait-assist exoskeletons used in major New World hospitals share one common trait: they work best when their assistive rhythm matches a specific musical beat. Manufacturers claim they were unaware of this, but recommend swapping training background music for tracks with strong drum beats—"like songs by the band Dionysus."
• Fashionwave Report: A multimodal early disease screening system has completed a two-year field trial at a hospital in the Eastern Kingdom, achieving significantly higher early detection accuracy for certain diseases compared to traditional methods. The hospital reports that six months after rollout, a considerable number of returning patients brought their pets along, saying, "It'd be great to get this little one screened too."
• Fashionwave Report: Reportedly, return data from six months after the launch of the new-generation psionic sleep optimization device shows that users' average time to fall asleep has been cut by nearly half compared to pre-use levels. One standout piece of feedback from the follow-up questionnaire is a request for it to be optimized to a size that fits discreetly under an office desk.
• Fashionwave Report: Recently, a rehabilitation case for a patient with long-term chronic pain syndrome has drawn attention. The greatest highlight of the treatment plan is its combination of psionic medicine and conventional medical devices, which reduced the patient's pain score by over 80% after six months. The patient was originally a scholar at the School of Conventional Tech, but has since decided to study both schools of technology simultaneously.
• Fashionwave Report: An anonymous netizen reported capturing an image of a mysterious flying object, believed to be an alien spacecraft, during a polar expedition.
• Fashionwave Report: The World Exploration expedition project has begun recruiting expedition volunteers from professional aerospace pilots across the three nations of the New World, with pinching the nose and spinning fifty times in a row becoming a mandatory physical fitness test item.
• Fashionwave Report: The first commercial suborbital flight route outside the Spirit Realm has completed its fifth test flight. Among the passengers on board were several notable figures who won their seats through charity auctions, including a fashion editor from NovaTrend, whose first words upon exiting the cabin were, "There's no full-length mirror next to the viewing window, so I'm not feeling my best."
• Fashionwave Report: The School of Conventional Tech's experiment on space positioning assistance signals has fallen short of expectations. A team member has proposed bringing in psionic specialists to assist with the research, since psionic power is more active in space.
• Fashionwave Report: The interstellar signal broadcast initiative unveiled this quarter by the New World United Space Organization has received a large number of public submissions intended for transmission into deep space. One highly supported submission, "Do not reply!" has been confirmed for inclusion.
• Fashionwave Report: The legend of the Drifting Boat has recently resurfaced in popularity across the New World—a boat trapped in a rift in time, destined to drift forever upon the sea and never to make landfall.
• Fashionwave Report: A certain coastal town has seen the phenomenon in recent years that around winter, residents place their finest lamp on the windowsill facing the sea, saying they are leaving a light for the Drifting Boat should it pass by. An investigation later revealed it to be a marketing ploy by a lightbulb manufacturer, but by then the custom had already taken hold.
• Fashionwave Report: A long-term survey released by a coastal research institute shows a clear pattern in the credibility of Drifting Boat sighting reports: those filed by professional sailors tend to be more credible, but their numbers are pitifully few. The majority of sighting reports come from tourists during peak tourist season, while their credibility is generally low.
• Fashionwave Report: An authentication report released this quarter by the Cultural Heritage Association shows that over the past five years, more than two hundred wood samples claiming to belong to the Drifting Boat were submitted for verification, and 100% were ultimately confirmed to be unrelated materials.
• Fashionwave Report: A recent in-depth research paper on the Drifting Boat, published by the Cultural Heritage Association, saw its download count in its first month of publication fall far behind that of a short story set in the same universe, released in the same period.
• Fashionwave Report: Recently, a scholar from the School of Psionic Tech put forward a conjecture that the Drifting Boat, the Morning Star, isn't forever unable to dock. It's simply waiting for the moment when its guardian spirit can awaken.
• Fashionwave Report: Regarding the true nature of the Drifting Boat, the School of Psionic Tech has put forward a new viewpoint that the slumbering guardian spirit, Liv Visser's consciousness, and the physical structure of the Morning Star became deeply bound together during the blizzard of that final night. What remains is a residual psionic structure trapped in a fold of time and space, unable to end its voyage.
• Fashionwave Report: The Cultural Heritage Association characterizes the Drifting Boat as merely a cultural phenomenon. The tragic narrative passed down by word of mouth is enough to make people who claim to have seen it sincerely believe they have. The crew's farewell, Liv's choice, and the guardian spirit's slumber all constitute compelling psychological archetypes.
• Fashionwave Report: Recently, someone witnessed an infuriating scene at the Grimkin Night market: Jack, a stingy Grimkin who refused to spend a coin, was mingling with the festival crowd and stealing fine pumpkin sculptures.
• Fashionwave Report: Legend has it that the mysterious magnetic field of the Grimkin Realm can cause people's memories to skew or even become disordered under certain circumstances, giving rise to a sense of déjà vu.
• Fashionwave Report: The latest astrological observation data shows that the number of recorded crimson moon nights over the past five years has risen markedly compared to before. The School of Psionic Tech sees this as a signal of heightened magnetic activity in the Grimkin Realm, while the astronomy circles say the relevant observation records still require stricter classification and sorting. To this day, the two sides remain divided over the definition of a complete crimson moon night.
• Fashionwave Report: A coastal city saw pumpkin sculpture sales hit a new high for the same period this year. Market surveys show that high-priced custom pieces claiming stable possession during Grimkin Night are the top sellers. The Cultural Heritage Association rarely comments publicly, noting that such things can never be arranged with money.
• Fashionwave Report: In the month before Grimkin Night, a temporary hotline for reporting abnormal pumpkin activity in a small coastal city received hundreds of reports. Fewer than one percent were ultimately confirmed as real anomalies, most of which turned out to be issues like mold from being left out too long. The vast majority of the rest were attributed to household pets or neighbors' children after on-site verification.
• Fashionwave Report: The Grimkin Night Memory Protection Service launched by Acorn Insurance in recent years has taken the New World by storm thanks to its low price (1 gold). Someone noticed that on page 17 of the 30-page insurance contract, a certain line reads: If the customer does not remember purchasing this product after the service period ends, the service shall be deemed effective.
• Fashionwave Report: The School of Psionic Tech and the Cultural Heritage Association have for the first time attempted to jointly release a Grimkin Night Descent Coordinate Prediction Report. The public conclusion is that Grimkins might or might not appear this year.
• Fashionwave Report: A long-term observational report released by the Cultural Heritage Association this quarter concludes that over the past century, every attempt to keep the Realmipedia in one place for an extended period has ended in failure. The list includes steel safes, underground vaults, cross-realm signed contracts, and even a handwritten note reading "Please stay."
• Fashionwave Report: A statistical analysis of the locations where accidental discoveries of the Realmipedia have been publicly reported over the past decade has revealed no discernible pattern. Researchers from the Cultural Heritage Association assess that it is almost certain the book goes wherever it wants.
• Fashionwave Report: The academic controversy over the origins of the Realmipedia has heated up again this year. The School of Psionic Tech argues that it's something a powerful spirit casually made while traveling, while the School of Conventional Tech believes that it exhibits the characteristics of an extremely ancient form of automatic writing. During the debate, someone reportedly spotted the Realmipedia once again on Whale Island within the Spirit Realm.
• Fashionwave Report: The recent craze for frosted bread that swept a coastal New World city in recent years was later traced back to a record from another world. A local resident who unexpectedly found the Realmipedia years ago happened to read a passage in it. In an interview, the resident said, "The book, which had hands and feet, vanished soon after, but I copied down the recipe from that page."
• Fashionwave Report: The culture special issue of NovaTrend published a special feature this year primarily based on records from the Realmipedia, covering festival customs from several other worlds never before heard of in this realm.
• Fashionwave Report: A research team conducted an informal survey regarding the identities of those who publicly reported discovering the Realmipedia over the past twenty years. The results show that the most notable common trait among this group is not educational background, profession, or gender, but that every single one took a much longer solo walk than usual before finding it.
• Fashionwave Report: The Gilded Acorn Exhibition team recently mentioned in an interview that some of the exhibition works drew inspiration from records of otherworldly cultural customs in the Realmipedia.
• Fashionwave Report: Roll Cake Cyan and Grape Purple have become striking accent colors in recent fashion week runway pieces.
• Fashionwave Report: Behind the scenes at the joint fashion week: an independent designer, after staying up late for several days to revise garments, ended up falling asleep in a pile of discarded fabric in the corner. Industry insiders are calling for "sleep first, design later."
• Fashionwave Report: Fashion newcomer Azure made her fashion week debut at the Annagefield Show, dazzling the runway in a custom-made look featuring the latest trends.
• Fashionwave Report: Recent differences in preferences among independent fashion designers have unusually converged around three distinct focuses: hidden motifs, contrasting colors, and unique tailoring. Audiences commented that they had all inevitably been influenced by Annagefield.
• Fashionwave Report: At this year's Starlight Awards, the musical film Dance of Freedom swept five major awards, becoming the biggest winner of the night.
• Fashionwave Report: The cast of Lost in Space appeared on the red carpet at the Starlight Awards opening ceremony, with the lead actors collectively dressed in spacesuits, fully embodying the sci-fi aesthetic trend.
• Fashionwave Report: Legendary Life won Best Original Music at this year's Starlight Awards. The composer noted in his acceptance speech that two different pronunciations of "Annagefield" were actually used in the lyrics because he still isn't sure which one is correct. The director nodded vigorously in agreement on the spot, admitting he isn't sure either.
• Fashionwave Report: Ocean Cleanup, which won Best Documentary at the Starlight Awards three years ago, is back in the spotlight. The director recently released a new director's cut featuring underwater footage of the Marine Archaeology Team captured at the end of the film. The audiences have been amazed by the five team members' on-the-spot reactions and seamless coordination while facing danger.
• Fashionwave Report: This year's Starlight Awards opened with a retrospective segment featuring classic clips from numerous films, including Speed Racer 300. A fashion journalist reached out to Andrew, the stunt double from Speed Racer 300, who left this statement, "That challenge course? I could still nail it right now."
