Genshin Impact creator: Alicia, please endorse me.

But to his surprise, the two of them hurriedly returned to Japan the very next day.

Mo Li initially thought the other party wouldn't join miHoYo Studio, but a few days later, Rita came over and said that Ayaka Kamisato and Miko Yae had submitted their resumes to her.

Only then did Mo Li realize that Ayaka Kamisato and Miko Yae had gone back to report their findings and, incidentally, resigned...

Ironically, the distributor even called Mo Li and complained for a long time.

After Yae no Miko and Kamisato Ayaka left, more than a dozen people left their studio...

But the other party only complained a little and didn't dare to blame Mo Li for poaching her.

After all, people strive for better things, and their studio wasn't very big.

Their ability to discover Honkai Impact 3rd first and secure the distribution rights before anyone else was all thanks to Ayaka Kamisato.

So the boss didn't hold a grudge and instead asked Mo Li to take good care of the two of them.

Ayaka Kamisato and Yae no Miko said they really liked the Dragon Kingdom, and it seems they weren't just being polite.

It was because they paid close attention to things in China that they were able to find Mihoyo first.

Acquiring Honkai Impact 3rd is a sure-fire way to make money.

Honkai Impact 3 has been running in Japan for many days now.

Sure enough, their revenue over there was not much lower than that of China.

After all, Japan is the kingdom of anime and manga. For a game with such exquisite art style and storyline, players in Japan simply cannot resist the urge to buy it.

Because Honkai Impact 3rd was so popular, Rita directly squeezed the distributor's profits to the minimum.

But the other party still made a fortune.

Needless to say, Mo Li was even more so.

His popularity has exceeded 2 million.

In other words, he can now directly redeem all versions of Genshin Impact prior to version 3.0.

[Popularity: 2.3 million]

[A popularity bonus pack]

At this moment, Mo Li sat in his office, quietly looking at the system panel.

When his popularity value exceeded 100 million, the system rewarded him with an extra popularity value gift pack.

Mo Li was really looking forward to it.

"System sister, please give me a Divine Key from the gift pack, or even an Eye of God if that's not possible."

The system did not respond to Mo Li's plea.

Seeing this, Mo Li was not surprised. He had just said it casually and did not have high hopes.

"Open the popularity value gift pack!"

[Ding~ Congratulations, Master, you have obtained...]

[Valkyrie Dormitory (A High-Tech Villa)]

"Valkyrie Dormitory?"

[Ding~ The Valkyrie Dormitory can be used for living or working; it has a perfect defense system and is equipped with all the equipment needed for a complete game studio.]

After hearing the introduction, Mo Li's eyes lit up.

"This is just in time!"

Ever since Himeko made her last public appearance, people have been staking out the studio area from time to time.

His purpose was to wait for Himeko.

At first, there were only a few people, but after someone took a photo of Himeko leaving get off work, more and more people started staking out the place.

Let's put aside the issue of revealing our identities.

For the safety of the employees, Mo Li needs to strengthen the studio's security system.

Although this street is a particularly bustling one, there's always the possibility of some crazy fans.

So, for safety reasons, Mo Li has been really worried these days.

The employees had to sneak off after get off work, but most of the time, Mo Li had to personally pick them up and drop them off one by one.

He, the boss, actually became the driver...

Kiana fared even worse.

They were completely blocked at the school gate...

She and Hu Tao have now dropped out of school.

Fortunately, Bronya and the others' identities haven't been exposed yet, which is somewhat good news.

But this can't go on forever.

The reason players gamble on the studio's entrance is simply because it's a novelty.

So Mo Li has been trying to persuade Ji Zi to do a live stream or something these past few days.

Once the characters appear on screen more often, the novelty wears off for the players, and they won't be so crazy about it anymore.

When the time comes, I'll just wear a mask when I go out. If I'm recognized, I'll just take a photo with the person...

This does give it a bit of a celebrity/internet influencer feel to it.

Who would have thought that Himeko and Kiana would actually debut as celebrities based on a game...?

According to the Baidu Encyclopedia entry, the work is "Honkai Impact 3".

Meanwhile, the Douyin account that Mo Li helped Himeko and Kiana create has already amassed over 500 million followers.

A Douyin account with zero videos has over 5 million followers...

This result left many second- and third-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry completely dumbfounded.

Yu Weiwei was extremely envious and kept urging Tencent to speed up the update process.

She's really envious of these anime fans...

Finally, the penguin completed the rendering and created the new version.

While the graphics are still somewhat inferior to Honkai Impact 3, at least they're not as awful.

When it comes to making games, Tencent never strives for perfection; as long as it can make money, they'll stop there.

If you can make money, why waste money on reputation?

.........

"Knock knock knock!"

Mo Li’s office door was suddenly knocked on, and then Rita’s tall and sexy figure walked in slowly.

With a slight smile, she placed a cup of coffee on Mo Li's desk.

"Boss, it seems Tencent has already updated it, and they've even released a 'Yu Weiwei-inspired' female warrior skin, which is quite popular."

Mo Li nodded; he was still thinking about the Valkyrie Dormitory.

"How am I supposed to explain this to the girls...?"

"Forget it, I'll just use that same perfunctory excuse. They won't pry any deeper anyway. I'll be transferring to work over there in a few days."

With that thought in mind, Mo Li closed the system panel.

To be honest, if girls really want to dig deeper, Mo Li alone making "Honkai Impact 3" is enough for them to dig into.

Compared to a game, the sudden appearance of a high-tech villa is actually easier for people to understand.

Is there a problem with me being a second-generation rich kid?

"Oh right, I remember... Honkai Impact 3rd is supposed to be up to chapter 14 by now, right?"

Rita chuckled and nodded: "Yes, Eden told me yesterday that she plans to announce the new album today, release the lead single 'Celestial Meteor,' and promote the new version of the game for us."

After listening to Rita's account, Mo Li's expression immediately turned strange.

Even Rita couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Penguins really do... always seem to bump into themselves...

It seems that the popularity of this new version of "Girls' Journey" is going to be overshadowed by Eden again...

Chapter 50: A dream collaboration between Eden and Honkai Impact 3!

After releasing the new version announcement, Tencent has been cooperating with Yu Weiwei to generate buzz.

The simultaneous push notifications from two chat apps nearly propelled the popularity of "Girls' Journey" to its peak.

Just as Zhao Wenbo was secretly pleased with himself and netizens were discussing it heatedly, a Weibo post from Eden caused an uproar throughout China.
