Genshin Impact has proven itself to be one of the best games over the past two years. As of now, the blockbuster from miHoYo continues to witness growth in both players and revenue, to the extent that a recent statistic shows that Genshin Impact has earned billions of dollars since its release. As a completely free game, those who play Genshin Impact know that it’s hard to resist the temptation of gacha pulls to obtain the desired 5-star characters.

Almost 9 out of 10 Genshin Impact players, no matter how hard they try, will opt for the “top-up” method to meet their needs, as it is clear that the resources provided by the game are quite limited. It’s no coincidence that miHoYo has been criticized for being stingy, even earning the reputation of being miserly due to its frugality in offering rewards during events. However, recently, Shahar—a Genshin Impact player—has astonished the online community by proving that he is not only a dedicated player but also very “sober-minded.”

Specifically, what makes the online community admire Shahar is not because he has extraordinary skills. Rather, it’s simply that Shahar has logged into Genshin Impact for 662 consecutive days without interruption, starting from the game’s release date (September 28, 2020) up to now. This alone speaks volumes about the love and dedication Shahar has for this game. However, it’s worth noting that throughout this nearly two-year journey, Shahar has not spent a single dime on miHoYo. To be more precise, he is a rare “free-to-play” gamer in the Genshin Impact community.

Nevertheless, through his diligence, Shahar has also achieved level 60—the highest level in the game as of now. All the characters in Shahar’s lineup have been obtained through free means or by using Primogems accumulated from Genshin Impact events. His lineup even includes a 5-star character, Jean.

The gamer himself admits that he has hesitated many times, weighing the decision of whether to spend money or not, but has always resisted. Although he hasn’t spent a single dime, Shahar has also expressed gratitude to miHoYo for creating a game that he enjoys immensely up to this day.
