To create Honkai Impact 3rd in a world where Kallen exists.

Since Luo Mo is at the company, she needs to stay there these few days to ensure his safety, and she can also ask him about the video.

.......

"Boss, do we really have to make it a free-to-play game?" Su Luo, the game planner, asked pitifully. All the executives in the conference room were staring at Luo Mo. They had discussed the price for ages, and now the boss was demanding it be free?

The vast majority of games in this world are buy-to-play; even free-to-play games make money through merchandise.

But with such a huge investment in our own game, how long will it take to break even just from merchandise?

Su Luo looked at the spirited young man before her with a headache. She was quite satisfied with all aspects of the game. She had originally wanted to hire more professional voice actors, but Luo Mo used the pretense of Destiny to say that the game was made for them—those students. Perhaps it was a case of connections?

Having worked hard outside for so many years, Su Luo understood this situation. Although those people didn't focus on dubbing, the result was still acceptable, so she didn't interfere.

Regarding the game, Luo Mo directly provided a game sample, requesting refinement, but the theme could not be changed. After seeing the plot and pictures, Su Luo was impressed and admitted defeat.

But this game is the best one she has ever made. She had finally rekindled her passion for making games, and if the game doesn't generate enough profit due to a lack of commercial viability, she feels like her dream is about to be shattered.

She finally fell in love, and Luo Mo made her lose so completely... She'll cry, she'll definitely cry!

"Su Luo, have you ever heard the saying? 'What's free is often the most expensive!'" Luo Mo said confidently, sitting calmly among the high-ranking officials.

"Honkai Impact 3rd is a game that is constantly being developed and updated over a long period of time. It would be a huge loss to use a buy-to-play model. Making money by selling in-game items is the best option."

"Fine, fine, you're the boss, you call the shots," Su Luo said listlessly, like a dried-up salted fish, having lost all motivation.

However, some people in the meeting room seemed thoughtful, but hesitated to express their opinions.

That won't do; we need to encourage her. Seeing Su Luo's expression, Luo Mo thought for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Our greatest hope in making games is to bring joy, happiness, and growth to players. We can't make a game with money as the primary goal. We should pay more attention to the physical and mental health of players. The games we make should be designed to bring players something and help them understand something."

"Honkai Impact 3rd is a game centered on friendship and growth. It can bring players smiles and deeper reflections, making them think about how to make the world a better place and inspiring more people to fight for all the good things in the world!"

After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, Su Luo pondered, then suddenly realized something, and clapped her hands in approval.

The meeting room erupted in thunderous applause.

Seeing this, Luo Mo simply took a sip of water, waved his hand, and indicated that it was just basic stuff.

Feeling a slight sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex feeling of mixed emotions, including amusement and reflection), I suppose I could be considered a qualified ship's assistant.

Not long after, in the days following Su Luo's reading of the first nine chapters, every time she encountered him, she would glare fiercely at Luo Mo while holding the documents, and immediately use the documents to cover herself whenever Luo Mo looked at them.

Is this what you call wonderful? Is this what you call happiness?

Soon, the meeting was drawing to a close. With the push notifications across the entire platform and some streamers leading the testing, Luo Mo would decide which streamers from Destiny would be selected to try out the game.

Although this version will not have a test server, the next version will be tested by streamers first, so if there are no problems with the streamers selected this time, we will continue to cooperate in the future.

An executive handed him a document and asked him to select a pilot streamer. Luo Mo glanced at the streamer at the end of the list and felt that he looked familiar.

"Your Majesty," the profile picture is an image of Bella in human form.

The executive next to him quickly explained, "Boss, this streamer has relatively few fans, but they are very loyal, so even with such a small number of fans, they are still on the list."

Luo Mo carefully examined the image. It was Bella. Although he didn't remember much about her, he could still recognize her.

"Add her," Luo Mo said, pointing to the profile picture without further explanation.

Soon, another senior executive rushed over with documents and shouted as soon as he saw him:

"Mr. Luo! Many journalists are requesting interviews with you. What are your plans?"

Luo Mo flipped through the list, somewhat puzzled, "Why would making a game attract so many well-known newspapers and even some TV stations to interview me?"

The supervisor asked cautiously, "Didn't you, boss, have fate arrange this?"

Lomo recalled his conversation with Archbishop Karen of Destiny—

"So you mean you need more people to watch, not more money?" Karen frowned.

"Yes, we need high-quality games to provide a better experience for more viewers."

"Alright then, aside from you choosing the personnel yourself, I'll use all of Destiny's advertising channels to promote that game for you."

"So, is this also a propaganda channel for Destiny? Well, probably it is."

The brain gradually came to understand everything.

"Then let's choose tomorrow," Luo Mo said helplessly. He really didn't want to show up!

Okay, for the sake of the crystal!

......

The following day, Luo Mo smiled as he was being interviewed by the reporters.

"Mr. Luo, what kind of game is your company's game?"

"Our company is determined to create a phenomenal game. It revolves around the themes of love and growth, where girls will grow through setbacks and overcome formidable enemies with their companions. Without a doubt, this will be a healthy, positive, and uplifting game with a heartwarming and beautiful storyline."

He answered with a broad smile and a smile in his eyes, looking very proud of the game.

"It's clear you're very confident in this game, but what about its monetization method?" This was obviously a shill.

"We will be introducing a completely new payment model, moving away from a simple buy-to-play system. Players will not need to pay for the game's story; everyone can experience the game fully and without interruption. We treat all players equally, so there's no need to worry about being unable to enjoy the game."

"Of course, there are in-game items that can be purchased to generate revenue, but we hope everyone will spend money rationally and not impulsively."

......

"Let me say it one last time: our company hopes that players can have a good gaming experience and that everyone can feel beauty and happiness in the game. That's what a game company should do."

Luo Mo emphasized this point in conclusion.

Chapter 23 Three-Party Actions

Today is a brand new day, and also the first day of Honkai Impact 3's launch.

These past two days have felt like an eternity for game enthusiasts, not because the game is particularly good or captivating.

It was the information bombardment from Destiny that allowed people on expeditions in Antarctica to see Honkai Impact 3 ads. It is said that he almost fell into an icy abyss because of the sudden ad, and after surviving, he loudly complained about Destiny's equipment.

It's fair to say that Tianming plastered advertisements wherever possible. While this made most people aware of this game featuring cute girls and mecha, it also caused considerable dissatisfaction among many who felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information.

They're just waiting for the game to start, and they've decided to nitpick at it even when there's nothing wrong with it.

The number of visitors to the official website of Honkai Impact 3rd has long surpassed 10 million, and the appearance of character introductions on the website has attracted worldwide attention.

Kiana Kaslana, Raiden Mei, Bronya Zaychek, Himeko Murata, Theresa Apocalypse...

For ordinary people, they simply think these women are very beautiful, each with their own unique features, and are indeed much more beautiful than the previous Houmuhoumei.

Even Tesmulang, a mecha enthusiast, bluntly stated, "If I were leading a mecha against an enemy like this, I would have no choice but to surrender!"

You know, he's a huge fan of Anti-Entropy mechs, even he said that...

But for those familiar with Honkai...

"What the hell? Isn't that Theresa? She's in the game too?" Tesla spat water onto the blue chicken-meat-like head opposite him, his expression full of shock.

Dr. Einstein wasn't annoyed; he simply used one hand to wipe away the dripping water.

"That's obvious, Dr. Tesla. Instead of worrying about that, how's your F-126 flying mech coming along? If this keeps up, we'll forget about showing off to Schicksal; Schicksal is practically forgetting about Anti-Entropy."

"Isn't this being done right now? It'll be finished soon!" Tesla exclaimed, looking on eagerly.

"Wings, engine, missile system... Alright, done. Dr. Tesla's masterpiece—the F-126 flying mech—is officially complete!"

"Start running!" Tesla excitedly pressed the red button.

"10! 9! 8!...."

"Did it work?" Einstein asked from the side.

"Success... my foot! That's an emergency explosion warning! Run, you idiot!" Dr. Tesla hurriedly grabbed some precious experimental materials and ran outside.

Einstein sighed and followed behind at a leisurely pace. "Look on the bright side, Dr. Tesla. At least this time you added an early warning system. Last week, the third lab you blew up really gave us a run for our money!"

"But I've checked everything, there's no way something could have gone wrong this time!"

"You said the same thing last time."

With a loud "bang," Einstein postponed his trip to Schicksal for a few more days and decided—to hell with that mech!

......

"Interesting! The game developers have even included the Valkyries of Saint Freya!" Gray Serpent analyzed the intentions behind Saint Freya's move as he looked at the latest information.

"Could it be... that Destiny... wants to create a game about the future of the world?"

The gray snake shook its head, abandoning the absurd idea.

Even an inside man couldn't know more information? Who proposed this plan? The apparent boss?

"Forget it, let Raven go to St. Freya to get more information."

Gray Serpent stared at a photograph of the stone that World Serpent members had encountered in the ruins of a pre-civilization—he recognized it as a Herrscher core from that civilization—and a fervent glint appeared in his eyes.

"However, any further action would be meaningless! For the snake! It is about to emerge from the darkness!"

......

Karen looked at Luo Mo, whom she was video chatting with, and looked at him helplessly.

"So, having Himeko and Theresa isn't enough? We also need the two doctors from Anti-Entropy, Rita and Durandal?"

"Ahem, actually... there's more."

"Oh? There's more?" Karen said irritably. "Isn't it enough that I've given you so much money for advertising? You also need so many people, and two of them aren't even chosen ones. Where is she going to borrow from?"

"Yes, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, Welt, and the Gray Serpent and Raven of the World Serpent, and of course Kevin..."

"Smack—" Karen hung up the phone, propping her head up with her right hand, her anger clearly visible, along with a stiff, twitching mouth.

"What is he thinking? He is the Bishop of Destiny, not a wish-granting machine."

"Well, let's see how good his game is," Karen sighed.

The Destiny Research Institute repeatedly praised the stigmata that he claimed was called 'Hannah,' but when asked how long it would take to produce results, they made excuses and seemed to think there was no hope for the time being.

We can only play the game according to this extraterrestrial's requirements for now.

After seeing various scenes in the promotional PV, she began to believe that it truly depicted a parallel world.

However, the requirements are also annoying.
