Genshin Impact has updated version 4.0, and Zhongli has returned to the card draw pool. As soon as September 5th arrived, the news was like a drop from the sky, which shocked the players. Zhongli, a silent rock god, is expected by countless people. That steady and cold character has become their target again this time. Those who don’t have Zhongli are gearing up to sprint; those who have Zhongli may not be able to resist trying their luck again.
Drawing cards seems simple, but it is actually a long game. MiHoYo’s guaranteed mechanism is like an invisible net, telling you not to worry, Zhongli will definitely appear within eighty to ninety draws. But who knows? Sometimes, luck will lead you astray and let you draw other five-star permanent characters first. At this time, the road to drawing Zhongli is very long, and it may take hundreds of fifty or even one hundred and eighty draws. The numbers are there, cold, but the players’ moods are up and down, like struggling in a storm.
After all, this is not a free game. You need money to draw cards, and you need to recharge. Two 6480 Genesis Crystals, equivalent to three hundred dollars, are a lingering knot in many people’s hearts. The face is even worse, and you have to prepare three 6480. The recharge process is complicated, and you have to click three times to confirm, as if to remind you that this money is not to be spent casually. Three hundred dollars, this number is as heavy as a stone pressing on your chest, forcing you to weigh it again and again.
This game, like life, sometimes disappoints people, and sometimes excites people. People who draw cards are not fools. They know the probability and cost behind it, but they just can’t let go of the expectation. When the screen lights up and the card is drawn, it seems that the whole world has quieted down, and all heartbeats follow the light of the screen. Some people succeed and cry with joy; some people fail and grit their teeth and persist. Countless clicks have become their way of fighting fate.
Zhongli is not just a character in the game. He is like a mirror, reflecting people’s desire for power and security. He is like a rock, giving people a sense of firmness, as if no matter how the outside world changes, he is there, silently guarding. What players find in card drawing is not only a virtual character, but also a spiritual sustenance.
In the dead of night, the light from the mobile phone screen is reflected on the face, that light is sometimes warm, sometimes cold. There are laughter and tears, hope and despair in the card drawing process. It is very much like life, full of unpredictable ups and downs and struggles. We all learn to wait, learn to bear, and learn to persist in these ups and downs.
In the end, no matter what the result of the card drawing is, this experience is a kind of growth. It teaches us what persistence is and what giving up is, and also makes us understand that some things cannot be bought with money. Card drawing is like a microcosm of life: you cast the seeds of hope, and sooner or later they will bloom and bear fruit, but in the process, you need patience and courage.
So, when you click on the card drawing interface again and hold your breath, don’t forget that this is not just a simple game experience, but a long-distance race about fate, persistence and hope. I hope every player who draws cards can keep the persistence and dream in their hearts, and never give up even if the road ahead is long.
