In the current gaming world, when talking about the phenomenal work “Genshin Impact”, how can we not mention the rock king who is in the limelight – Zhongli? This time, with the grand update of version 4.0, Zhongli has been re-engraved and has become the focus of countless players. From September 5th, everyone can re-draw this majestic character and become the rock-solid guardian of their team. You ask, why is Zhongli so important? This is not only because of his strength, but also because he symbolizes a kind of calmness and reliability, which is particularly precious in the ever-changing game.
Then the question is, how many card draws do ordinary players have to spend to “fish” this rock god? Mihoyo has set up a very humane “bottom line” mechanism, which means that most people will encounter Zhongli within 80 to 90 draws – this undoubtedly gives the majority of players a little comfort. After all, card draws are essentially a game of probability, which has a bit of gambling flavor. However, things are often not that simple. If you are unlucky and draw other five-star permanent characters first, Zhongli’s “belonging” will be postponed, and it may take up to 150 or even 180 draws to get it. This number seems cold, but behind it are countless hopes and disappointments of players.
Look at the investment of funds, which is a threshold that cannot be ignored. The current card drawing fee is about 300 US dollars for two 6480 Genesis Crystals, which is enough to ensure a relatively smooth acquisition. But if you are unlucky, you may even have to spend three 6480. The recharge process is confirmed three times, as if to remind players, “Are you sure you want to do this?” This repeated confirmation is not only a transaction procedure, but also a test of the player’s will. 300 US dollars is not a small amount for many people. It adds a bit of reality to the entertainment of the game.
At this point, let’s jump out of the surface of the game and see what is reflected behind all this? This is not just a contest of numbers and probabilities, but also a game about desire, patience and choice. In the virtual world, players invest not only money to get Zhongli, but also their obsession with the ideal character and their desire for the moment of success. In other words, the process of drawing cards has become a psychological test field – it teaches you to wait, accept, endure, and even face the calmness of loss.
“Zhongli” in the game is not only a powerful character, but also more like the goals in life that are worth your waiting and persistence. We often say that life is like a play, and drawing cards is like a gamble in life. Perhaps, the “bottom line” mechanism in drawing cards is a metaphor for the impermanence of life: opportunities will always come, as long as you don’t give up easily. However, what really tests people is the long and unknown wait, and the persistence after countless failed draws.
When players click “draw cards”, their heartbeats often speed up and they hold their breath. At that moment, the joy of success and the bitterness of loss are real. All these ups and downs are part of the charm of the game and a reflection of the essence of life. We draw cards not only for that role, but also to cultivate ourselves and temper our minds in waiting.
Finally, when the lights dimmed and the light of the mobile phone screen illuminated the player’s calm face, the meaning of this game became clear. It is a kind of sustenance for modern people’s hearts, a battlefield where desires and reality intertwine, and a reflection of dreams and persistence. No matter what the result is, every step on the road of card drawing is full of hard work and stories.
So, if you ask what this “card drawing battle” means? It is not only a challenge of the game, but also a profound experience of the philosophy of life. It tells us that success often requires waiting and persistence, and input and return are not always equal. The splendor of life may lie in the subtle balance in this uncertainty.
