"It's already been twenty-five days; surely we don't have to wait a full four weeks or even a month before the first and second prizes refresh."
Since Zhang Yanhang was leaving Ashen World on the last day of the fourth week after he cleared the Raccoon City Lucky Slot Machine jackpot, he felt there was still a little hope to cling on to.
Of course, apart from the day he left Ashen World, Zhang Yanhang also looked forward to another day with great anticipation, and with no backup options if he failed—that would be in a month, which would likely be his next entry into Ashen World.
For this ultimate goal, if the first and second prizes really don't refresh for a whole month, then Zhang Yanhang felt, there might be no need to wait. He might as well treat them as one-off rewards.
That said, although this date seemed hopeful, by the time the first and second prizes would be refreshed, he definitely wouldn't need them himself. Actually, he couldn't use them now either.
