In early September, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the coffee shop on the corner was filled with the faint aroma of coffee. The mobile phone screen was on, and the announcements in the game popped up one after another: “Zhongli is reprinted. Starting from September 5, Genshin Impact players can draw this rock guardian again.” The news was like a greeting from an old friend, which warmed people’s hearts.
This Zhongli is not just the steady and silent guy in the game, but more like a relative who silently supports the sky in life, or the elder who always holds a cup of tea and smiles gently on the streets. Many players don’t have him yet. As soon as the news came out, the desire in everyone’s heart immediately jumped out: “Hurry, go and draw!” But drawing cards is easier said than done, especially when facing the complex and headache-inducing probability.
Most people ask, how many times do you have to draw to get Zhongli? The official answer is about 80 to 90 draws. It sounds like a constant, but you know, luck is not absolute. If you draw the wrong five-star character, you have to recalculate in your mind, and you may have to spend 150 or even 180 draws to get what you want. To put it in numbers, it means spending two 6480 Genesis Crystals, which is almost three hundred dollars; if you are unlucky, three 6480s are not enough. Think about that money, it is really not a small amount.
A friend said with a wry smile that the recharge process is really like a tongue twister, and you have to click three times to confirm before the money is willing to leave the wallet. Krypton gold is obviously a part of the game, but it seems to have become a microcosm of modern life-money floats out of your hands, but you can only shake your head and smile helplessly.
However, the mood of drawing cards is actually quite similar to the waiting and expectation in our lives. Aren’t we all like this? Looking forward to an opportunity, looking forward to turning over at a certain moment, looking forward to an unexpected surprise. Isn’t drawing cards a bet? It’s not about money, but about the mood and confidence in the future.
Some people may ask, is it worth spending money like this? Maybe not, but in this busy and stressful time, spending some money to buy virtual happiness may be a small reward for yourself. After all, life is so hard, there is nothing wrong with giving yourself some hope occasionally.
Of course, there is helplessness and struggle behind this. After charging money and drawing cards, I still didn’t get the character I wanted, and I couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed. That feeling is like the days in life when you work hard but don’t get anything, bitter and real. But this bitterness also makes people know how to cherish those things that are really obtained.
In the final analysis, this card drawing is not just a game experience, but more like a mirror, reflecting the desire, persistence and compromise in each of our hearts. It allows us to see that many times in life, success does not come immediately, but is accumulated through constant testing and hard work.
It was late at night, and the street lights outside the window lit up. I put down my phone and thought of the story of Zhongli and the card drawing, and also thought of those warm little details in life-a caring word from family, a sincere hug from friends, and the little brilliance that flashes in those ordinary days.
This card drawing story, after all, is about hope, and also about how we can find our own peace and courage in the storms of reality.
