"Xiao Yi... tell Yu Weiwei to post a few more Weibo posts after her stream to comfort the gamers."

"Then hire online trolls to smear Honkai Impact 3."

Zhao Yi nodded: "Then, what is the reason for the smear campaign?"

Zhao Wenbo's eyes gleamed: "I told you, their game is only playable if you draw the Herrscher; the A-rank Valkyrie armor is just a money-grabbing scheme!"

Chapter 62 Immortal Baiye's Inch-Force Brain Opening, You Call This a Useless Character?

Several days have passed since Himeko's live stream.

However, many players in the gaming community are still discussing the new storyline of Honkai Impact 3.

Eden's albums have been released one after another.

Her new album also completely dominated the trending topics on Weibo.

Honkai Impact 3rd stayed on the trending topics list for a whole day on the day of its update, but was quickly pushed down.

The new version from Tencent is even worse... it didn't even make it onto Weibo's trending topics.

Only when videos about Honkai Impact 3rd occasionally pop up on Douyin (TikTok) will the new storyline of Girls' Journey be brought up again and retaliated against.

There's no way around it, those plots where characters suddenly die are just too disgusting.

But at some point, comments started appearing under many videos about Honkai Impact 3rd, criticizing miHoYo for ripping people off and saying that you can't play the game if you don't have money to get the Herrscher of Reason.

These remarks left many people bewildered.

Honkai Impact 3 doesn't have a PvP mode; the only Abyss Battleground ranking only adds a few hundred crystals.

The goal is simply to allow paying players to experience a more challenging mode.

In contrast, Girls' Journey added a PvP mode to the base of Honkai Impact 3.

Games where players engage in PvP are truly unplayable without spending money.

Therefore, when people say that Honkai Impact 3rd is a money pit, many players just take it as a joke.

But soon, there were more and more comments about Honkai Impact 3 being a money pit.

It wasn't until someone left a comment on Yu Weiwei's Weibo on the 26th, asking if she had ever played Honkai Impact 3, that Yu Weiwei's statement caused the incident to completely erupt.

[Honkai Impact 3? I've played it, but I feel like you can't play that game without pulling for Herrschers. It looks like there are a lot of characters to grind for, but they're completely useless. It feels like a money grab.]

Who is Yu Weiwei? She's a second-tier celebrity, no matter what.

Her direct criticism of Honkai Impact 3rd for being a money pit naturally garnered her many die-hard fans' uncritical support.

Countless Honkai Impact 3rd fans angrily cursed Yu Weiwei on Weibo, saying she was an idiot who would abandon all shame for the sake of the game she endorses.

After all, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that the PK mode in "Girls' Journey" is designed to encourage players to spend money.

Moreover, the rewards for this PK mode are exceptionally generous.

Many players are willing to spend money to get ranking rewards.

For example, the reward for ranking first in the PK week is the ultimate armor that is only available for 7 days.

Not only is it good-looking, but its strength is also incredibly terrifying.

Yu Weiwei didn’t say that “Girls’ Journey” forced players to spend money, but instead said that Honkai Impact 3 forced players to spend money.

This naturally infuriated many players.

Looking at the insults and abuse under her Weibo post, Yu Weiwei's face turned somewhat ugly.

Even though many pinks were defending her below, she was always at a disadvantage.

Keep in mind, this is her home turf.

In her anger, she directly restricted Weibo posts, setting the posting restrictions to "followers".

This tactic finally allowed her fans to gain the upper hand.

But soon, her number of followers skyrocketed at an alarming rate.

Previously, including the fake followers she bought, she had 1200 million followers.

But now, in just half a day, her number of followers has skyrocketed to 1500 million.

This was a pleasant surprise for her.

Not only did they receive a huge sum of money from Tencent, but they also unexpectedly gained a lot of attention. This move was incredibly profitable!

“Even though they’re haters, haters are still fans, right?” Yu Weiwei quickly contacted her agent to discuss a plan to clear her name.

He'd only endorsed Tencent Games; it wasn't anything heinous. He just needed to wait for things to calm down, then he could apologize and play the victim…

Then wouldn't these haters become fans?

Her agent was also pleasantly surprised after hearing Yu Weiwei's explanation.

"I never imagined... that a game would propel you to the forefront!"

"So, what do we do now?"

After a moment's thought, the agent on the other end of the phone chuckled and said, "Let's wait and see. The momentum has completely picked up, and miHoYo won't stand idly by."

…………

Meanwhile, Rita hurriedly told Mo Li about it at miHoYo.

Although it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see that this is a deliberate smear campaign by the penguin.

Moreover, it was a very far-fetched reason.

But we can't just watch and do nothing.

After all, rumors can become "facts" over time.

There are still many immature student gamers online, or gamers who are too lazy to understand the ins and outs of things and are misled by these rumors...

So the girls are still very anxious.

Mo Li only glanced at the direction the penguin was smearing.

"Ha~ Such a flimsy excuse... It seems the penguins have run out of options and are resorting to disgusting us."

He didn't really want to manage the penguins.

After all, it's not very wise to break ties with such a large internet company.

When the opponent couldn't compete in terms of raw strength, they started resorting to underhanded tactics.

"Since you want to suffer a loss, then so be it."

Mo Li looked at Rita and gently comforted her, "You don't need to worry about this. I can solve it by posting a video."

"Go and gather evidence of Tencent's plagiarism, and sue them directly."

Mo Li's words startled Rita slightly.

"Boss... are you sure you want to do this? Tencent has fought many plagiarism lawsuits like this, but has never lost..."

Rita said seriously, "Boss, if we lose, it will probably have a big impact on the reputation of Honkai Impact 3."

Mo Li smiled and said, "Don't worry... there are many of our studio's logos in the Honkai Impact 3rd code."

"Coincidentally... many of our miHoYo logos are also found in the game code of 'Girls' Journey'."

"This..." Rita was completely dumbfounded. Penguin actually dared to directly copy and use the game code!?

But now that there is solid evidence, there is no way we can lose this lawsuit.

Thinking of this, Rita smiled charmingly: "Yes, boss, I'll go prepare it right away..."

After Rita left, Mo Li turned on his computer, logged into his game account, and recorded a kill montage from the Memory Battlefield.

"Heh~ You actually say that grindable characters are useless? You probably haven't experienced the Immortal's inch-force craniotomy!"

In the current version of Honkai Impact 3, the Herrscher of the Void is the ceiling for physical damage.

The top-tier lightning damage dealer is Fu Hua: Swift Feather, one of the characters that can be farmed.

How dare they say that grindable characters are useless?

As soon as Mo Li's video was released, it immediately attracted a large number of players to watch.

Players initially thought this was a new official game announcement.

But when you click on it, you find that it's a walkthrough video for the Memory Battlefield.

[The grindable character, Immortal Baiye - 7 bars of health per second]

[Let me show you what it means for your health bar to disappear—Kallen 31180 points]

At the very beginning of the video, a burst of rousing and energetic electronic music started playing.

First, the lineup and character stigmata were shown.

White Night Butler + Divine Hymn + White Knight: Moonlight.

Of these three characters, Divine Grace is the most difficult to obtain.
