When the card drawing interface of "Mirror World" popped up "Thank you for participating" for the 29th time, my bank card balance was only in two digits.
I stared at the rotating gray card pool on the holographic screen, my hands shaking uncontrollably. This game is so damn familiar - I got free SSR in the first month of playing, which made me think I was the chosen one. As a result, starting from the second month, I did 29 consecutive ten draws without even getting close to an SR. Wang Sisi from the dormitory next door made a first charge of 6 yuan and drew a limited edition gold card. She posted it on WeChat Moments all day with the caption, "The European Emperor is possessed, please don't approach unless you are a chieftain."
I sent a screenshot of that post to my best friend Zhao Yue, and she replied with three words: "Uninstall it."
But I can't do it.
It's not because I'm addicted, it's because this crappy game has a perverted feature: if a player logs in for more than 30 days without drawing cards, the system will automatically log out the account, clear the data, and not refund a dime.
