Background

Cai Cai is a Hangzhou native who initially leads a three-person Star Abyss team alongside Garden of Words and AAA Nationwide Flight. He invites Ding Han and Zhang Ruolin to dinner at Stream City No. 1, seeking capable and trustworthy allies for a difficult team instance. 76 77

Although he describes himself as an unemployed “parasite of society,” he supports himself by crafting equipment. His early lack of a suitable firearm leaves him eager to improve; he borrows Star Coins from Garden of Words to buy a blue Tier 2 SMC submachine gun from Ding Han. 78 177

Garden of Words and another companion, Fei Zi, are killed by Vega. Cai Cai is left haunted by nightmares of them and becomes determined to kill Vega for revenge. 90

Personality
