The cool breeze of September blew through the window lattice, bringing with it a hint of autumn coolness. Zhongli, the rock guardian, reappeared in the world of Genshin Impact with the launch of version 4.0. Starting from September 5, players will have the opportunity to re-draw this majestic yet gentle and calm character. The news spread, like a ray of warm sunshine, shining into the hearts of many people. Players who don’t have Zhongli yet are naturally eager to get him, as if he is not only a character in the game, but also a symbol of some kind of peace of mind and strength.
As for how many times you have to draw to meet Zhongli, this is a rather headache. According to the guaranteed mechanism formulated by the game company, under normal circumstances, players can welcome this rock lord within about 80 to 90 draws. However, there are many variables in the world. If you draw other permanent five-star characters, you need to recalculate the probability, and you may have to go through 150 to 180 draws before you can get what you want. This number seems simple, but it contains the repeated expectations, disappointments and persistence of many people.
When it comes to the cost of card drawing, the situation is even more thought-provoking. According to the current cost, two 6480 Genesis Crystals are equivalent to about 300 US dollars, which can usually be exchanged for Zhongli. If you are unlucky, three sets of 6480 may not be enough. The recharge process is also very complicated. You have to pay three times repeatedly, like an invisible threshold, testing the player’s determination and patience.
This phenomenon of krypton gold is exactly the intersection of modern games and real life. In the virtual world, players seek the characters they want and spend real money in exchange for the satisfaction and expectations in their hearts. Regardless of the result, the investment and waiting in the process are just like the persistent pursuit of some beautiful things in life. We can’t help but ask, is such investment worth it? There is no unified answer. Some people are happy with it, while others feel exhausted.
However, life is impermanent, just like the probability of card drawing. We cannot predict the wind direction at the next moment, but we still insist on moving forward. This persistence itself has extraordinary value. Zhongli’s calmness and protection seem to remind us: Only by staying calm in the wind and rain can we see the sunrise.
Card drawing is not only a mechanical action in the game, it is more like a spiritual practice. We learn to be indifferent in loss, learn patience in waiting, and cultivate the courage to face the unknown in repeated attempts. Perhaps, this is what makes it attractive – not just to get that character, but to grow up in the process and feel the warmth of life.
Late at night, close the phone, the moonlight outside the window is like water, but the expectation for the future is still surging in my heart. No matter what the result of the card drawing is, the waiting and desire will eventually become a gentle memory in our lives. I hope that every player can find their own peace of mind and happiness in this long card drawing journey.
