Chapter 8 Durandal? Dumb Goose??

Upon hearing about the pricing, all the girls looked at Mo Li with anticipation.

"Tell me your thoughts first," Mo Li said, not immediately sharing her own opinion, but instead posing the question to the girls.

He wanted to see what level Honkai Impact 3rd would reach in the eyes of these girls.

The girls exchanged glances, and Bronya was the first to speak.

"I think that, given the quality of Honkai Impact 3, it would be perfectly reasonable to price it according to the same standards as Tencent's 'Another World' game."

Upon hearing this, Mo Li nodded secretly.

"Otherworld" is arguably Tencent's most profitable online game to date.

It uses a point card payment system, and it is the highest-priced level among point card games.

It's fair to say that, in the eyes of these girls, Honkai Impact 3rd's quality is comparable to that of the game "Another World".

But... Mo Li gently shook her head.

"I do not intend to use a prepaid card system."

In terms of scale, one version of Honkai Impact 3rd is not as good as that game.

But its gameplay and selling points are far superior to that other game.

Take Honkai Impact 3rd's storyline as an example. If it weren't for the game, it would definitely be considered an excellent anime on its own.

If you were to immerse yourself in the storylines from version 1.0 to 7.0, you probably wouldn't be able to finish experiencing them all in 24 hours.

"Huh?" The girls were all very surprised after hearing Mo Li's words.

In their minds, besides the prepaid card system, there was only the buy-out system.

Bronya was the first to raise a question: "But... the game is only at version 1.2 right now. If it's a buy-to-play model... how much money can it make..."

“Besides, the gameplay isn’t suitable for a buy-to-play model…” Rita frowned as well, trying to persuade Mo Li to give up the idea.

"Heh~" Mo Li chuckled softly, "I plan to make this game free!"

Yulan Dell: "??"

Himeko: "!!"

……

The others were all confused by Mo Li's words.

Rita: "Boss... while we all want to make a game that most people will enjoy, we don't have to do something that loses money, do we?"

Mei also softly offered her advice: "Yes, this game is already excellent. If the boss doesn't want to price it too high, we can lower the price."

"Putting myself in the player's shoes, I would be more than willing to spend money in such a well-made game."

Seeing that everyone was getting a little excited, Mo Li quickly interrupted them, "Let me finish speaking first."

"Free to visit, but not entirely free..."

"As you all probably know, there are many Valkyrie armors in Honkai Impact 3, and each armor has different effects..."

Next, Mo Li explained the game's profit model to them in great detail.

The unpredictable gacha system left the girls completely bewildered!

As game enthusiasts, the girls immediately understood the key point.

If Tencent's "Otherworld" is selling games and equipment...

Honkai Impact 3rd sells character cards, weapons, and stigmata.

The two profit models are not much different. The only difference is that Honkai Impact 3rd relies on exquisite modeling and excellent character design to make players like the corresponding characters and thus pay for them.

Honkai Impact 3rd happens to be a game geared towards anime and manga fans...

As everyone knows... money from the world of anime and manga is the easiest to make.

"This……"

After the girls realized what was happening, their gazes towards Mo Li changed.

Himeko smiled and said, "With a brain like yours... it's a real shame you're not a shrewd businesswoman."

"That's really impressive... Using the gimmick of free-to-play, they've managed to attract even more players... Even those who are just playing for free will probably be tempted to buy a monthly pass..."

At this point, Bronya suddenly realized, "The money spent on a few more monthly subscriptions could buy an entire game..."

It has to be said that no matter how calm Mo Li was, he couldn't help but feel a little smug after being praised by such a group of beautiful girls.

He took a tactical sip of water and chuckled, "Now you understand, right? I'm not some philanthropist; I need to make a living too."

"Alright, everyone, let's take a couple of days off. We won't have this much free time once the game launches."

After saying that, Mo Li prepared to leave.

Currently, discussions about "Honkai Impact 3" are very popular on Douyin and Bilibili.

In order to prevent the hype from dying down before the game's release, Mo Li plans to use his verified accounts on Douyin and Bilibili to create some buzz.

All I do is occasionally release some gameplay videos or fan-made videos related to "Honkai Impact 3".

It's worth mentioning that Honkai Impact 3's official accounts on Douyin and Bilibili have now surpassed 2 million followers.

Just as Mo Li was about to leave, Yulandal suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone was very curious about Durandal's sudden action.

"Silly goose, what's wrong?"

Looking at the enigmatic blue of Youlan Dale, Mo Li found it incredibly amusing.

She is clearly a mature and sexy older sister, but often she acts a bit dazed, which is quite adorable.

This is how Yulandal is now, so Mo Li subconsciously called out Yulandal's nickname.

Upon hearing Mo Li's address to him, Youlandail was taken aback for a moment before explaining, "Boss... my name is Youlandail..."

Mo Li smiled and said, "I know, but don't you think the nickname 'Silly Goose' is cute? And it suits you quite well."

"Is there any?"

Contrary to Mo Li's expectations, Youlandail wasn't angry at being given a nickname; instead, she took it quite seriously... and entered a thoughtful state...

"Pfft..." Rita couldn't help but laugh when she saw the adorable Durandal.

"I also think this nickname suits my eldest sister quite well."

"Hmm...it's cute too~" Himeko added.

"Alright, let's hear what Silly Goose has to say first," Mo Li interrupted the girls' teasing and then brought the topic back: "Did you just discover something?"

After hearing Mo Li's words, Yulandal gave up on whether the nickname "Silly Goose" was worthy of her.

"Boss, you just said that the main selling point of this game is selling character cards..."

"Is this why you used us as templates to create game characters?"

"Huh?" After hearing Yulandal's words, the girls finally came to their senses and stared at Mo Li with unfriendly expressions.

Rita narrowed her eyes slightly: "Boss, I think you should give an explanation."

Chapter 9 Himeko: Has the boss already started to have feelings for me?

"Ahem..." Mo Li was startled by the girls' gazes and quickly waved his hand, "I said before... this really is just a coincidence..."

Mo Li was really having a headache, and he couldn't reveal the system to anyone.

It's even less likely that Durandal and the others are characters from the game in another world.

Just as Mo Li was having a headache, Mei was the first to speak up and help him out.

"Actually... I still trust the boss more..."

Himeko chimed in with a laugh, "I don't care, but you're being a bit unfair, boss~"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?"

Bronya's lips curled slightly: "Since you're using us as a template, shouldn't the salary be increased accordingly?"

Mo Li realized what was happening at that moment.

It seems that after seeing the profit potential of Honkai Impact 3rd, these girls started thinking about raising their salaries...

Mo Li didn't care that the girls had these thoughts; it was only natural for people to have such thoughts.

Moreover, the characters in Honkai Impact 3rd were originally based on their templates.

"We don't need much, just..."

Before Bronya could finish speaking, Mo Li interrupted, "I understand, that's certainly the right thing to do..."

"Have you forgotten that I told you this on day one?"

"I said back then that I would never treat you unfairly, and that you would receive a share of the profits once the game became profitable."
