NetDragon presents in a refreshingly captivating and humorous manner,
integrating popular cartoon-style visuals with oriental culture and
mysticism. Within the game, players can create their own pets with
different appearances, characteristics, hobbies, skills, as well as
slight gestures, motions and verbal expressions. Of note, Mr. Stephen
Chow, the renowned movie director and actor, is acting as the
"Ambassador of Happiness" for Way of the Five.
