A brand-new Quantum-type Valkyrie makes her debut—"Seele Vollerei."
Seele's S-Rank battlesuit—"Stygian Nymph."
Log in to receive 30,000 Crystals, plus the S-Rank Valkyrie—Rosalia.
And a wealth of event gameplay...
When Honkai Impact 3rd players saw this announcement, they collectively erupted.
They never expected MiHoYo to actually compromise, releasing an announcement overnight and rushing out a new version.
Had Maiden Voyage really put pressure on MiHoYo?
Of course not.
Not only did Mo Li not take that game seriously, he even found it a little funny.
He had watched Maiden Voyage's promotional trailer. Anyone who had played Honkai Impact 3rd could tell at a glance that Maiden Voyage was packed with elements from Honkai Impact 3rd.
It was obviously meant to compete directly with Honkai Impact 3rd.
But... how long had Honkai Impact 3rd even been out?
If someone claimed Maiden Voyage was a game Tencent had been developing long ago, Mo Li would not believe it in the slightest.
So he could say with absolute certainty that Maiden Voyage had definitely ripped off Honkai Impact 3rd's game code.
"Heh heh..."
Now that he had confirmed it, how could Mo Li not laugh?
After he acquired MiHoYo Studio, the system had added a large number of anti-theft codes into Honkai Impact 3rd's game code.
With that evidence in hand, Mo Li could win every lawsuit he filed.
What Nanshan Pizza Hut... in the face of absolute evidence, it was nothing but bullshit!
Eden Visits MiHoYo~
Ordinarily, a game like Honkai Impact 3rd needed long-term operation to maximize its profits.
After all, making a hit game was truly not easy.
But... with so many memories from Earth, games were the one thing Mo Li did not lack.
What he lacked was popularity points.
And don't let the 30,000 free Crystals fool you—this was hardly a good thing...
Mo Li was even a little worried that players would call him stingy.
After all... this update contained far too much content.
Back on Earth, when Honkai Impact 3rd reached Chapter 14 of its story, the game had already been running for three years...
Mo Li had crammed the Valkyrie Armors released over three years into a single version.
There were plenty of event Crystals and the free 30,000 Crystals, but... anyone who wanted to fully gear up all those Valkyries would definitely have to spend heavily.
Light spenders could only choose the battlesuits they liked and pull for those.
Even though Mo Li was updating so much at once, the game content that came afterward was still enough to support normal updates for four years.
Four years later... Mo Li had no idea how many games he would have released by then.
So speeding up the game's updates was not a wrong decision.
On the contrary, after Chapter 14, nearly every version of the story came with a major climax, one after another without pause.
By then, even if he released Genshin Impact, it would not completely suppress Honkai Impact 3rd's popularity.
After posting the announcement, Mo Li washed up and went to sleep.
He may have gone to sleep, but the internet exploded completely.
Holy shit!! They updated more than thirty versions at once??
What kind of god-tier Studio was this? Other companies prepared three versions in advance—how many versions ahead had MiHoYo made its content?
Three animated shorts, three theme songs, over a dozen new battlesuits, five major story chapters...
One version update per day? That was terrifying... MiHoYo was planning to tie players down for good!
Where were Maiden Voyage's fans? Come out and see which game was actually greenlit first!!
This was killing me. They had already made over thirty versions. They probably started development five years ago!
Maiden Voyage was obviously plagiarized. I wonder if those people defending it were even adults, and they had the nerve to accuse MiHoYo of stealing ideas. Hahahaha...
This is amazing! One new version every day, and it's even summer vacation. Student players should just bow down to MiHoYo!!
Honkai Impact 3rd was already unbelievably popular, and after Mo Li posted that announcement, it became even more explosively popular.
It left everyone at Tencent and NetEase's game Studios utterly dumbfounded.
They could not understand the point of Mo Li's move at all.
Just as they had not understood Mo Li's operating model from the very beginning.
As a result, they were starting to question their entire lives.
The next day.
When Mo Li arrived at MiHoYo Studio, the girls looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Mo Li was thoroughly puzzled by the sight. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Bronya said, "Boss... that announcement you posted last night..."
"Was there a problem with it?"
Bronya said, "..."
"Are you sure we can keep up? One version update per day..."
Mo Li smiled. "Don't worry, I sorted everything out last night."
"Everyone might have to work hard from here on out, but I'll personally guide your voice acting."
Hearing that Mo Li was finally going to put in some effort, the girls were not discouraged at all. Instead, they looked extremely excited.
"Come on, let me tell you about the story that comes next..."
Meanwhile, Eden had also seen the announcement MiHoYo released the previous night.
"One new version a day... I'm getting more and more curious about MiHoYo."
As Eden browsed MiHoYo's announcement, Elysia suddenly bounced out from behind her.
"Hehe~ Eden, I'm ready. Shall we head out now?"
Looking at the livestreaming equipment in Elysia's hands, Eden asked curiously, "You're planning to stream today too?"
Elysia nodded. "Yep~ The stream's content will be... showing up at MiHoYo's doorstep with a blade and settling the score with MiYouYou."
"Hehe~ Isn't that enticing?"
Eden shook her head. "I'm afraid that won't work. There should be plenty of confidential matters in the Studio, and we'd only cause them trouble."
"I see..." Elysia rested a finger on her chin and thought for a moment. "Then we'll end the stream before we enter MiHoYo's front gate~"
Eden lovingly tapped Elysia's forehead and smiled helplessly. "You really are..."
"Fine, I'll let you be willful this once~ Get in the car~"
Seeing Eden agree, Elysia immediately took the passenger seat and opened her livestream.
The title was utterly brazen—Showing Up at MiYouYou's Doorstep with a Blade to Settle the Score.
Though she did not need an eye-catching title at all, since both Eden and she were unmistakable crowd-pullers.
She simply found it fun.
The moment the stream opened, a massive wave of viewers flooded in.
Elysia still wore a smile as radiant as a flower, making anyone who saw her feel instantly cheerful.
"Hi~ The weather is so nice today~ Just like me—sparkling bright~"
"Bright sunshine and a cute girl~ Aren't they a perfect match~ Hehe~"
"Hm? My hairstyle looks pretty today~ Eden did it for me~"
"Eden? She's right beside me~ Look~"
When Elysia turned the camera toward Eden, the Danmaku instantly exploded.
Seeing "Eden" fill the screen, Elysia pretended to be saddened. "As expected of Eden~ You stole everyone's attention in an instant~"
"Even if it's Eden... I can still get a little grumpy, you know~ Hehe~"
"Sigh... It's a shame Eden's driving, or I could ask for a comforting hug~"
"Hm? What's today's stream about?" Seeing that question, Elysia gave a sly smile. "Hehe~ Look at the title!"
"That's right, Eden and I are going to MiHoYo Studio~ You're looking forward to it too, right~"
"A collaboration... I don't know either. If Eden wants one, I'll definitely support her~"
"MiHoYo's address? I can't say~ Otherwise Eden will get mad~"
Elysia's lively, adorable voice frequently rang through the car.
Like a kingfisher skimming the water, like an oriole singing, it filled Eden with delight.
A smile unconsciously appeared on her lips as well.
When Eden Meets Himeko...
"That's all for now. Does anyone have any questions?"
"I do!" Ganyu timidly raised her hand. "Boss... what am I supposed to do?"
Ganyu did not have a role in Honkai Impact 3rd, so she had no voice acting work at all.
Compared to the other girls, Ganyu had the least work to do.
But that made her feel somewhat embarrassed, so most of the time, she would... try to snatch work.
"It seems like... I don't need to voice any of these scenes either." Durandal also raised her hand in agreement.
Then Himeko nodded as well. "...I only have two lines..."
"Hehe~ Bronya and I have the most scenes~" Kiana suddenly darted to Mo Li's side, wrapped herself around his arm, and shook it.
"Boss Mo Li, let me try voice acting too."
Mo Li glanced at Kiana. "You... know how to voice act...?"
Although the voice used in the game was Kiana's own, voice acting still required acting ability.
If the emotions were not right, even her own voice would sound strange.
"Aww~ Just let me try. If it doesn't work, Boss can just scrap it."
Mo Li thought about it and did not refuse. "If there's enough time, you can give it a try."
"Yay! Boss, you're so nice~"
Hu Tao watched the scene with some envy. She wanted to play a role too.
But unfortunately, Boss Mo Li said she would have to wait a while longer.
