Honkai Impact 3rd: Starting with creating an anime version of Honkai Impact 3rd

"Director Yaqing, what you've made is truly authentic."

"Uncle, you're awesome!"

For the first time, Yaqing experienced Qianjie's feelings. It was so satisfying to be praised for cooking. He finally understood why Qianjie was so angry when he was hiding in his room and eating instant noodles at the company.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already late, so Su Sha and Li Sushang got up and left. Ya Qing did not leave, because his bedroom was left there.

"Little brother, when do you plan to go back to the Far East?" Cecilia, who had just finished showering and was wearing a face mask, sat next to Yaqing.

"It'll be soon. The Far East branch is currently busy with group processing." Yaqing used the remote control to bring up the cartoon he and Mebius liked to watch the most.

"Grouped? Oh, divided into web series and movies?"

“No.” Ya Qing shook her head: “It’s divided into film and television and games. The game market is still vacant. I plan to reorganize the division and extend my reach into the game market.”

"Is it still set against the backdrop of Honkai?" Cecilia clearly didn't care about the movie as much as the game; she preferred the thrill of watching TV series.

"It's pretty much the same, but the world-building might be a level higher, transcending the concept of Earth and unfolding the story in the universe." Yaqing trusted Cecilia a lot, so he revealed more.

"Does that branch have enough manpower?" Cecilia asked worriedly, fearing that Yaqing would collapse from exhaustion.

Ya Qing never gets tired, and he never even feels tired. The tragic ones are Cheng Lixue and the others who are "tortured" by him. If more manpower is not added, Cheng Lixue may resign.

"Don't worry, sister. Kiana is graduating this year, right? Let's not rush her to join headquarters yet. Let her gain some experience under my supervision," Yaqing said with a smile.

Yaqing's smile almost triggered the PTSD in the silly goose.

Cecilia thought for a moment.

In that brief moment, Durandal seemed to see her third sister's tragic future.

“Fine, if it’s too easy for her to get a job, Kiana won’t grow up. Let her gain some experience under your guidance,” Cecilia said.

Siegfried, who had already washed the dishes, came over, sat down next to Cecilia, and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Because of the Honkai series, the relationship between Arkham and Siegfried has eased considerably. They are no longer as tense as they were at the beginning, but rather have a relationship that is more than friends but not quite brothers.

"Let's talk about Kiana's graduation this year." Cecilia tried to fit in with Aya by watching cartoons, but after a few minutes she couldn't continue and asked, "Are the dishes washed?"

"It's all washed! I washed it five times!" Siegfried looked very proud.

Even though there's a dishwasher, Cecilia still makes Siegfried wash the dishes by hand, since he can't help at all when she's cooking.

"I just heard you say, Brother Yaqing, that you're going to enter the gaming market?"

"What is the problem?"

“It’s not really a problem. I always feel that your development path and Walter’s are quite similar. He also happens to be planning to enter the game market.” Siegfried didn’t hold back in selling Walter out.

The fact that Anti-Entropy Group is preparing to enter the gaming market is no secret within the Destiny Group; in fact, it's common knowledge among the top management.

"Don't worry, he and I are not on the same path." Yaqing reassured Siegfried, implying that he shouldn't try to trick her into revealing anything.

Chapter 192 Zhang Lixue: I really... really can't take it anymore...

Back in their respective rooms, Yaqing couldn't wait to turn on his desktop computer. He wanted to see the reaction to the movie "Honkai Impact 3: Angel Reconstruction," especially the post-credits scene.

I just opened the official website and it was flooded with posts.

[Damn it! This movie can hardly be called a movie...]

"???" Yaqing was dumbfounded.

What's going on?!

You're all dissatisfied with this movie?

Yaqing scrolled down to see the full comment.

[Damn it! This movie can't even be called a movie... It's clearly art, a complete showcase of technical skill. Everyone says Yaqing's screenwriting is bad, but this movie has completely changed my opinion of him.]

"Hey upstairs, you've pulled the knife halfway out and can't put it back in, die!"

"Indeed, apart from being too long, this movie has no flaws whatsoever. Whether it's the depth of the plot or the development of the characters, there's not a single fault to be found."

"When did growing long become a problem? I felt like I didn't get enough of it, especially the final bonus scene. I really felt sorry for the bug, but Himeko's appearance was so exciting!"

"I have a feeling the next box office hit is going to be a smash!"

"The knives in Otto and Walter made me cry my eyes out. My family thought I had gone crazy. Now that we finally have a screenwriter who can write happy endings, you all keep criticizing his abilities. Do you think I don't know whether he's good or bad? If you fire him, who knows which character will get killed? I don't want to see any characters die..."

"Dude, that's a bit abstract."

Yaqing noticed that almost all the reviews for this movie were positive, with only a few negative reviews complaining that the movie was too long.

“It seems that a movie that’s too long isn’t good either…” Yaqing fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, he decided to release the next film in two parts.

"By the way, see if there are any high-quality derivative works. If we don't hire some people for the post-production department soon, Li Xue'er might really resign."

Yaqing recalled the days before the movie's release. Whenever he went to work, Cheng Lixue would stare at him with her bloodshot eyes, full of resentment, making him shudder.

I took a quick look at the fan creation section on the official website, and it was all using character models from the branch offices. There was no innovation at all, and the story structure was just poorly made.

"Why is it that even though I want to 'eat people,' no one is eating me?!"

Yaqing lay face down on the table.

The chat software on the computer suddenly shook, followed by a video call from Mebius.

Yaqing subconsciously clicked "agree".

"Senior, should I say good morning or good evening now?"

With an eight-hour time difference, it was midnight in Yaqing's area, but 8 a.m. in Möbius's area.

Mebius sat in the living room.

Today's breakfast is Qianjie's special Italian pasta.

"Say whatever you want." Mebius picked up a piece of spaghetti, twirled it around, and put it in his mouth, asking listlessly, "This movie was a huge success worldwide, and you didn't even go out to celebrate?"

"We've celebrated," Yaqing said with a smile. "Senior, it's been so long since we last met, didn't you miss me?"

Möbius blushed, but quickly recovered, and said with feigned composure, "Miss you? Miss you coming back to be my guinea pig again? You're overthinking it. Why would I miss you? Absolutely not, hmph!"

Hearing the machine-gun-like speed of the other end of the line, Ya Qing knew that Mebius was being stubborn again, so she pretended to be disappointed: "It seems that I was overthinking it. I think about my senior every day."

Such a direct attack immediately defeated Mebius.

“Actually… I did think about it a little…” Möbius said softly.

No sooner had Mebius finished speaking than Alicia appeared behind her, tiptoeing over and cautiously making a shushing gesture towards Yaqing on the other end of the video.

"Who is Professor Möbius thinking about?"

Alicia's sudden voice startled Mebius, nearly causing him to drop his phone.

When Mebius saw Alicia's mischievous expression on her pretty face, she knew the other party had ill intentions. She silently hung up the video call, her expression calm: "Alicia, what are you talking about? I don't know anything about this. What do you mean, 'thinking of someone'?"

Alicia tilted her head and looked at Mebius with a smile.

Under Alicia's gaze, Mebius became restless, picked up his satchel, and quickly left the Golden Garden.

Alicia sat comfortably in the chair, feeling that the joy of the day was enough.

Alicia has won a resounding victory today.

Qianjie stared at the two-thirds of the spaghetti still on the plate on the table and flew into a rage once more.

"Mebius, you are guilty!!!"

"Brother Jie, give me a plate of spaghetti too." Alicia held up her little hand.

Upon hearing this, Qianjie suppressed his rage and returned to the kitchen, activating "battle mode." Soon, bursts of wild laughter echoed from the kitchen.

Ya Qing watched as the other party's screen suddenly went black and then the call ended. She smiled and knew that Mebius had once again fallen into Alicia's hands.

With nothing else to do, I opened the fan art section of the official website again and admired the dancing models. Although the legal and public relations efforts of the Tianming Consortium had blocked the criminal channels for modeling data, dancing was not prohibited.

"Utterly boring." Ya Qing closed the official website and began to contemplate life... Suddenly, it seemed as if she had thought of something.

Since there are no experts in derivative works, why don't I become that expert myself?

Without further ado, Yaqing used software to call out Cheng Lixue.

["Live or die: Li Xue'er, give me some software for post-production editing."]

In the Far East, because the president was away, Salome, the director, made a bold decision: to give everyone a holiday. Cheng Lixue was shopping with a group of women when she heard a notification on her phone and opened it to take a look.

Upon seeing that the message was from Yaqing, her face instantly darkened. She quickly typed a few words, then turned off her phone. When Cheng Lixue looked up again, her face was once again radiant with a gentle and sunny smile.

It's worth mentioning that Cheng Lixue's nickname for Yaqing was: Damn capitalist.

[I really want to die: "Auto-reply: Dear customer, we are currently not at work. Please leave a message after the beep..."]
