Making Genshin Impact: Elysia Helps Me Endorse

In a world where a game is in its early stages of development, Mo Li awakens his past life memories, binds with the Game Development System, and creates a game studio.

When he arrives at the studio, he discovers that the employees are none other than characters from games!

Seeing familiar faces one by one, Mo Li waves his hand, deciding to start by developing "Genshin Impact" and "Honkai Impact 3rd."

Keqing: "Boss, can you… no, can you strengthen Keqing in the game? She's too weak!!"

Mei: "Raiden Shogun… has an imposing character design, but you really can't insult my cooking!"

Himeko: "Boss… It's fine that I finished my role in Chapter 9, but you kept bringing me back to deliver sad moments. Is that really okay?" ...

"The Last Lesson" made players despair, and "Everlasting Flames" made them weep.

Every PV stirred players' emotions.

The music, story, and visuals showed the players of this world what true games were.

However, these two games were just the beginning. "Sekiro," "Silent Hill," "The Witcher 3"...

Chapter 1 MiHoYo, Durandal???

"Something like this actually happened??"

At this moment, Mo Li sat dumbfounded in front of his computer, his handsome face filled with shock.

He had just woken up, and a large amount of unfamiliar memories had inexplicably appeared in his mind.

Those memories were like another self, who had lived for 20 years in another world and brought back everything that had happened during those 20 years.

And in those memories, there was a place called Earth, where the countries were no different from his own world.

The only difference was that the development direction of the world varied.

For example, many of the music and games that appeared in that place called Earth were very different from this world.

Movies were similar, but Mo Li was not familiar with the film industry, so he deliberately ignored it.

"League of Legends, Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact, Sekiro, Resident Evil..."

Mo Li was pleasantly surprised: "So many creative ideas, and they've already passed market tests… These memories are a complete treasure trove!"

However, Mo Li soon shook his head gently.

Although there were creative ideas, the cost of actually making these games was too great.

Just for that mobile game called Honkai Impact 3rd, the development cost was estimated to be tens of millions…

Although he had a little money now, developing a game was still too difficult.

Moreover, he had no experience in game development at all.

But he was still unwilling to give up on this gold mine…

Just then, a crisp notification sound suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Ding~ Game Development System binding successful]

[Newbie gift package has been issued]

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining Game Development Experience]

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining all content from version 1.0 to 7.0 of the game "Honkai Impact 3rd"]

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for obtaining initial funds of 20 million (only for game development)]

A series of loli-like voices echoed in Mo Li's mind, leaving him completely stunned.

"I… bound with a system??"

Mo Li was overjoyed.

After gaining those vast memories, Mo Li had become incredibly fond of those games.

Now that he could make these games himself and earn a lot of money, who wouldn't like that?

He quickly opened the system panel to check the rewards he had received.

He used the Game Development Experience directly and, in a very short time, gained a wealth of knowledge about game development.

"This Loli System really… makes wishes come true…"

Next, he continued to check the detailed introduction of the system.

"So that's how it is… a chicken lays an egg, and the egg hatches a chicken."

To be precise, Mo Li needed to develop his first game to gain popularity points.

Afterward, he could use these popularity points to purchase desired game packages from the system store, and so on.

The system had already provided him with all the materials for the first game.

"The path is already paved for me, and it's a path to becoming a winner in life!"

Mo Li's eyes sparkled, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his handsome face.

Without a word, he walked directly out of his office and submitted his resignation.

Just kidding, with the system, he could make the games he liked, so why would he still go to work?

Because he had just graduated from university and was still in his internship, he easily became a free man again.

After leaving the company, Mo Li drove directly towards his home.

He already had a general idea in his mind.

Making games, he definitely couldn't do it alone, not even with the system.

So, the first thing he needed to do was to establish or acquire a studio.

Whether to create his own or acquire one, he was still considering.

As for the money, the 20 million initial funds from the system could be used to acquire a studio.

[Ding~ The system has helped you choose a few candidate studios~]

Mo Li's driving hand paused slightly, and he clicked on the system panel with some surprise.

The studios introduced by the system were all very small, with no external debt, but were on the verge of going out of business.

Mo Li parked the car on the side and carefully selected.

"MiHoYo??" When he saw this name, a question mark popped into Mo Li's head.

He remembered that this seemed to be the nickname of the company on Earth that produced "Honkai Impact 3rd" and "Genshin Impact"!

As a result, it actually appeared in this world!

"Quite interesting," Mo Li smiled and clicked on the introduction of this studio.

According to the information, this company had produced a tower defense game with a two-dimensional art style. The operating model was the typical subscription-based system of this world.

As a result, more than half a year after the game was launched, it hadn't even recovered the cost of developing it.

It could be said that it had failed miserably.

"Oh right... this world actually has only buy-to-play games!! And online games are subscription-based!!"

Mo Li recalled the operating models of online games on Earth and found that free-to-play games with in-game purchases were the real money-makers.

Thinking of this, Mo Li couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"This world... is indeed the infancy of the gaming industry... Whether it's gameplay or operating models, it can't compare to that Earth at all."

"But... isn't this perfect?" Mo Li chuckled, his confidence in game development growing.

He turned to look at the information about the "MiHoYo" studio again.

Founder: "Youlan". Studio's work: "Saving Girl".

Studio's current situation: Operating at a loss.

Below, the system also provided the studio's address, a photo of the founder, and finally, her contact information.

"Huh?! This..." Seeing the founder's photo, Mo Li subconsciously rubbed his eyes: "I must be seeing things!!"

In the photo was a woman in professional attire, with a white ponytail, and an exquisitely beautiful face.

If it were in the past, Mo Li would only think that this woman was very beautiful, flawlessly beautiful.

However, after gaining those memories from Earth, he was shocked to discover that the woman in the photo was none other than Durandal from the game "Honkai Impact 3rd"!

"Youlan?? Could it really be her?!"

Chapter 2: Negotiation with Dal, Acquiring MiHoYo

Mo Li looked closely at her photo again and finally concluded – she looked too alike!

"I was planning to acquire this studio, so I'll call to inquire about the situation first."

Mo Li took out his phone and dialed the contact number provided by the system.

"Beep..."

The call was quickly answered, and a mature, calm, and elegant voice came from the other end.

Mo Li's pupils contracted. It really was... even the voice sounded the same!

"Hello? Who is this?"

Mo Li quickly regained his composure, pondered for a second, and then got straight to the point: "I heard your studio needs investment?"

As soon as he said this, Youlan, who was about to hang up, paused her delicate hand.

She was very surprised that someone was actually willing to invest in her dilapidated studio?

"Hello, sir, may I ask who you are..."

"My name is Mo Li, and I'm a game enthusiast. I've recently had the idea of developing a game, but I lack manpower."

"I stumbled upon your studio's information. I also tried your game, 'Saving Girl.' Although the gameplay isn't great, it's clear that your team put a lot of effort into it."

Mo Li's words, which neither belittled nor overly praised their studio, improved Youlan's impression of him.

She knew very well that the games her studio produced were indeed not very satisfactory.

But this was indeed something the sisters at the studio had poured their hearts into.

Unfortunately, the results were very poor, making it almost impossible to secure investment.

As such, the studio might go bankrupt before long, and the game they had poured all their effort into, "Saving Girl," would cease operations.

This was something none of them wanted to see.

Now that someone interested in investing had finally shown up, she felt a flicker of hope.

However, whether to accept the investment would require a face-to-face discussion.

"If you have time, sir, we could arrange to discuss this in person at a location."

Mo Li naturally wouldn't refuse. "I'm free right now. You pick the place, and I'll head over immediately."

"Then, how about Yuan Ding Cafe on West Ring Road?"

After hanging up the phone, Mo Li drove directly to the destination.

He found it a bit strange. The cafe was located so close to the MiHoYo studio, so why didn't they just ask him to come to the studio directly?

However, Mo Li was merely curious and didn't delve any deeper.

There was also a reason why he had initially mentioned investment rather than acquisition.

Firstly, the system's introduction didn't mention selling the "MiHoYo" studio, only investing in it.

Therefore, to meet the other party, Mo Li decided to approach them first under the guise of investment.

Since the system had mentioned the possibility of acquisition, Mo Li naturally intended to try for it.
