Making Genshin Impact: Elysia Becomes My Spokesperson

The two quickly arrived outside the studio's door.

Kiana took out her key and quietly led Hu Tao into MiHoYo Studio.

"Wow~ This is a game studio~" Hu Tao had never seen such a novel place before, so she was unusually excited.

"Strange... where did the sisters go?"

She led Hu Tao around the studio several times, but didn't find a single person.

It wasn't until they arrived outside the voice recording room that they understood. The girls were all gathered in that place.

Kiana immediately spotted her sister in the crowd, as well as the Mei she'd been thinking about!

"Sister~ Mei!!"

As Kiana exclaimed, Mei saw a white-haired furball burrow into her arms.

This familiar feeling...

"Kiana? What are you doing here!"

Kiana looked up and said with a grin, "I missed you, Mei..."

After saying this, Kiana noticed that all the sisters present had red eyes, clearly having just cried.

This situation made Kiana's expression falter: "Sisters... what's wrong? Did something happen?"

The girls exchanged glances, then simultaneously turned their gaze to Mo Li.

Mo Li: "..."

The moment Kiana appeared, Mo Li's attention had been focused on Kiana and Hu Tao behind her.

Durandal had mentioned before that Kiana was her sister and was currently in high school.

So, Mo Li wasn't surprised to see Kiana.

The only surprise was the brown-haired girl who came with Kiana – Hu Tao.

"I didn't expect Grass-Pancake to be hanging out with Master Hu..."

Mo Li couldn't imagine how much trouble the teachers of these two mischievous girls would have if they were together.

"Hmph, you bad guy! How dare you bully my sisters!"

Suddenly, anger flashed across Kiana's delicate face, and she stomped towards Mo Li.

Fortunately, Mei stopped her in time: "Kiana, you've misunderstood..."

Clearly, Kiana had misunderstood due to the girls' unified gaze just now.

"Kiana, don't make trouble," Durandal also chimed in to stop her. "He's our new boss."

"Even if he's the boss, he can't bully sisters!"

The girls: "..."

They were too embarrassed to tell their little sister that they had been moved to tears by the game's plot.

Seeing this, Ganyu stepped forward.

She wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes and explained softly, "We were just moved by the game's story... the boss didn't bully us."

After hearing Ganyu's explanation, the anger on Kiana's face instantly vanished: "Huh? Is... is that so..."

She sheepishly scratched the back of her head: "Um... sorry about that, Boss..."

Mo Li smiled. "It's fine. Durandal told me about you. You really are a lively and cute girl."

Kiana became a little embarrassed by Mo Li's compliment.

She scratched her cheek with her fair fingers and mumbled shyly, "No way..."

Although she was being modest, she was beaming inside.

Bronya, however, gave Mo Li a sidelong glance.

She remembered that when Durandal mentioned Kiana, she had used the word "naughty."

Why did it turn into "lively and cute" in this person's ears?

As expected, a man's mouth is a lying ghost.

"Oh, right, this is my best friend, Hu Tao~" Kiana pulled Hu Tao from behind her and introduced her to Mo Li.

"Hello, Boss, my name is Hu Tao~"

Mo Li chuckled and nodded. Master Hu, how could he not know her? He nodded, acknowledging the introduction.

He then checked the time and realized it was almost quitting time.

"Since the two younger sisters have come to see you, let's call it a day and finish work early."

Upon hearing about finishing work early, Durandal and the others didn't react much. After all, working in the game industry was their hobby.

Kiana, on the other hand, jumped up in excitement.

"Thank you, Boss!!"

After Mo Li left, Kiana and Hu Tao excitedly grabbed Durandal's arms.

"Sister, did you use my template to create a game?"

"Sister Durandal, do you want to arrange a character for me in the game too~ It sounds so fun!"

The two girls chattered incessantly around Durandal.

Durandal didn't feel annoyed at all; instead, she dotingly stroked Kiana's white hair.

"Although I participated in the creation of this game, I don't have the final say. And it was that Mo Li's idea to put Kiana into the game."

"Huh? Is that really how it is?"

"What a shame..." Hu Tao sounded a bit disappointed upon hearing Durandal's words.

Just then, Bronya's cool voice suddenly came through, "If Hu Tao really wants to play a character... the boss might agree."

"Huh? Really?"

Bronya nodded, "I'm not sure, but we can go ask him."

Because the element of "beautiful girls" was also one of Honkai Impact 3rd's selling points.

Bronya believed that with Hu Tao's cute appearance, if she proactively wanted to portray a character in Honkai Impact 3rd... Mo Li probably wouldn't refuse.

"I'll take you to ask the boss. If he agrees, Hu Tao can even earn a decent income."

"Wow~ Really?" Hearing about the income, Hu Tao's eyes lit up. "Sister Bronya, quickly take me to find that boss Mo Li."

Chapter 24: The Queen is in the Gacha Pool!

When Bronya and Hu Tao found Mo Li, they saw he was packing up his things, preparing to go home.

Seeing the two suddenly appear, Mo Li was a bit curious.

"Bronya? What's up?"

"It's like this..." Bronya pulled Hu Tao in front of Mo Li and introduced her, "What do you think of Hu Tao?"

"???" Mo Li was completely bewildered.

Was she afraid I'd make a move on her, so she's trying to set me up with someone??

But this is too much... finding me a high school student...

"Bronya, you must be kidding, right?"

"Hm?" Bronya tilted her head, not understanding what Mo Li meant.

"You're just..." Mo Li stopped himself mid-sentence, swallowing the words in his throat.

After a moment of thought, he asked, "Just get to the point... Why did you bring Hu Tao to see me?"

Bronya remained expressionless, "I think Hu Tao is very suitable as a template for a game character."

Hearing Bronya's words, Mo Li finally understood he had misunderstood.

Sigh... I guess my thoughts are pretty filthy too...

Silently criticizing himself, Mo Li nodded and smiled, "Miss Hu Tao is indeed very suitable as a design template for a game character..."

Before Mo Li could finish speaking, Hu Tao jumped up excitedly, "That's great! Thank you, boss!"

"Don't get too excited yet... Although I have some ideas now, it will probably be a while before you make your appearance."

Genshin Impact was also in Mo Li's plans.

However, Honkai Impact 3rd had just recently gone into open beta, and the popularity points weren't enough to redeem Genshin Impact yet.

"It doesn't matter how long it takes~ It's settled then, boss, don't regret it."

"Don't worry, you won't be left out," Mo Li smiled and nodded. "By then, you won't be able to run away even if you wanted to."

"Hee hee~"

After comforting Hu Tao, Mo Li turned his gaze to Bronya.

"Is there anything else?"

Bronya shook her head.

"Alright, then hurry back and get some rest. We'll need to speed up the game updates for the next period."

"After all, version 1.2 is about to launch, and we haven't even started on 1.3 yet."

Bronya: "..."

"It's you who didn't assign us any work, okay? The girls have been urging you for a long time, but you've been holding back the later plot and not showing it to us."

Mo Li felt a bit awkward.

Mainly, the games given by the system were complete versions.

As long as he wanted to, he could update all versions of the game in an instant.

So, he wasn't worried about the game's progress at all.

Perhaps it was due to the memories from Earth, but Mo Li felt an inexplicable fondness for all these girls.

Therefore, he didn't want the girls to get too tired, so he assigned them less work.

He never expected this would become the reason for Bronya's complaints.

"Alright, if you guys don't feel tired, I'll speed up the game progress from now on."

"That would be best," Bronya earnestly advised, "Preparing content for the next two versions in advance also allows us to fix bugs promptly when they're discovered."

"Moreover, if we think of any new ideas during that time, we'll have time to make revisions."

"After all, we..."

Watching Bronya's somewhat incessant chatter, Mo Li suddenly felt an inexplicable... contrast in her charm.

After all, in Mo Li's impression, Bronya had always been an image of "a little duckling riding a heavy bunny, with a blank, emotionless face, floating in the air."

Now, seeing her act so mature was really... a little cute.

Thinking this, Mo Li couldn't help but interrupt Bronya. As he walked towards the door, he chuckled, "I've got it under control, don't worry."

Before leaving the room, Mo Li subconsciously reached out and patted Bronya's head, softly saying in a tone used to coax a child, "So... that's it for today. We can talk about anything else tomorrow~"

Bronya stared blankly at Mo Li's retreating back. A faint blush appeared on her expressionless face, and she felt a bit annoyed.

What did he mean by looking at me like I'm a little girl? And patting my head? Does he really think I'm a child?

How strange... Wait...

In the game, he made me look like I did when I was younger... Does he actually... see me as a little girl?

With that thought, Bronya quickly looked down.

Hmm... my vision was blocked by two towering mounds, completely obscuring my view of my toes.
