Of course. Eden certainly couldn't be left out either.

"That's wonderful~" Elysia was genuinely delighted when Mo Li nodded.

"So, what kind of role are you planning to give me, little brother Mo Li?" As she spoke, Elysia accurately caught the glance Mo Li cast toward Eden.

She gave a mischievous smile. "As for Eden, you'll have to ask her yourself."

"Of course, if little angel Eden is willing to play a role too, then make Eden and me the closest sisters in the story~"

Though Elysia's words exposed Mo Li's thoughts, she was actually putting in a good word for him.

After all, she knew Eden doted on her. If she asked Eden, Eden definitely wouldn't refuse to play a role in Honkai Impact 3rd.

But Elysia didn't want to do that. She still hoped Eden would decide for herself whether she wanted to join.

And what she had just said also conveyed that she hoped Eden would join them.

"Then, Miss Eden, would you be interested in working together?"

After thinking for a moment, Eden nodded. "If you can let me see the script, I can consider it."

At those words, Mo Li's eyes flashed.

He had thought it would take some effort, but he hadn't expected to recruit Eden so easily.

This was Eden. Not only was she indispensable to Elysium Ever After's plot, but with Eden's current popularity...

If they worked with her, Honkai Impact 3rd's popularity would definitely soar to an utterly terrifying level again.

By then, becoming a nationally popular mobile game wouldn't be impossible.

Thinking that, Mo Li suppressed the excitement in his heart. "Of course, but Miss Eden, please remember to keep it confidential~"

"Naturally. I can sign a non-disclosure agreement."

Mo Li waved his hand. "Of course I trust Miss Eden's character, but I still need to organize the script. I'll give it to you after some time."

"Wow~ Can I read it too when the time comes?" Elysia suddenly poked her head over, looking at Mo Li with excitement written all over her face.

"Ahem... of course. I'll send you each a copy when the time comes."

"No, no, just send it to me, little brother Mo Li. I'll pull Eden over to read it together then~"

Mo Li was naturally happy to save himself some trouble. "Then let's exchange contact information. I'll contact you later."

"Hehe~ Little brother Mo Li can't wait to confess his feelings to me already, can he~"

Mo Li: "..."

Good heavens... this woman was really too good at flirting.

He couldn't handle it...

Eden Sings "Sky Dome Meteor"

After adding Elysia's contact information, Mo Li also added Eden's while he was at it.

"Miss Eden, I have another collaboration proposal here. Would you like to consider it?"

"What kind of collaboration?"

"The song Bronya sang just now is for the endings of Chapters Eleven and Twelve. Those two chapters mainly tell the story of Bronya and Seele saving each other."

As Mo Li explained, he turned on his computer.

"Chapter Fourteen is Kiana's story, mainly about Kiana's self-redemption. Himeko will appear during it, so there will also be a theme song and an animated short."

After hearing Mo Li's explanation, Eden looked at the computer screen in surprise. There was a music file on it.

"You really plan to release one theme song with every major version update?"

Mo Li nodded. "Striving for perfection."

"Then... can I judge this song's quality? If it has the quality of 'The Last Lesson,' I'm willing to work with your Studio."

Mo Li smiled confidently. "The full version is on the computer. You can give it a listen~"

Eden's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly opened the music file.

"Sky Dome Meteor?"

Eden was somewhat puzzled by the title.

It didn't seem to have anything to do with Himeko.

She gently clicked the play button, and a melodious piano tune slowly flowed out.

In just a few seconds, Himeko's smiling face seemed to appear in Eden's mind again.

"If one day, your comrade loses control because of Honkai energy, you must not hesitate... to end her life."

"Live on, Kiana... this is... the last lesson."

As the female vocals began, Eden felt her nose sting.

Deeply engraved, my memory is silent but not forgotten indeed

The memories deep in her mind remained silent, yet had never been forgotten.

someone has gone but a voice within me

Someone had left, but a voice still echoed in her mind.

The soft, murmuring female voice was like Himeko's teachings to Kiana.

The soaring, resonant high notes were like Kiana breaking through her confusion, carrying on Himeko's beliefs and igniting the light of hope.

By the time the song ended, Eden was utterly moved.

She rubbed her slightly reddened eyes and gave Mo Li an apologetic smile. "Sorry for making you see that."

"Both the lyrics and arrangement of this song are of an extremely high standard. I haven't seen the story yet, but if I had to rate it, I'd still be willing to give it full marks."

"And this singer... I don't seem to have any impression of her at all... but she already sang it perfectly. I can't find any flaw whatsoever."

"Even if you asked me to sing it, it would be hard for me to surpass her..."

Hearing Eden say that, all the girls were extremely surprised.

Eden didn't merely rate the song highly; she had even praised this unfamiliar singer to the skies.

Mo Li merely smiled. This was within his expectations.

The entertainment industry in this world was already backward.

The songs released by Honkai Impact 3rd could dominate the music industry with ease.

Take "The Last Lesson," for example. It had already climbed to first place on the music site's new-song chart.

Of course, that might also have been because Honkai Impact 3rd had been so popular these past few days.

And there was no need to mention the singer. The system had given him Yuan Yawei's version.

A professional female singer from Earth naturally wouldn't be bad.

"Can I meet this female singer?"

"Ahem..." Mo Li shook his head. "No!"

"Huh?" Eden was somewhat surprised by that answer, but before she could ask, Himeko smiled and said, "Is there a possibility that Boss Mo Li sang this too?"

Eden: "..."

Mo Li was awkward beyond measure and hurriedly changed the subject. "So, Miss Eden, are you interested in working together?"

Eden thought for a while. "I may not be able to sing it better than... you. Are you sure you still want to work with me?"

"Miss Eden is popular~ And don't sell yourself short. As a diva, how could you lose to someone unknown?"

Eden had actually been tempted by the song long ago.

Whether because of its high quality or her fondness for Himeko and Kiana, she didn't want to miss this opportunity to collaborate.

Now that she saw Mo Li sincerely wanted to work with her, she no longer hesitated.

She quickly rose to her feet, extended her delicate hand, and said excitedly, "Mr. Mo Li, it is an honor that you trust me so much."

Mo Li was equally excited. He stood and shook Eden's hand.

"Miss Eden, you're too polite. A top star like you certainly doesn't lack collaboration opportunities."

With a star of Eden's caliber working with them, Honkai Impact 3rd's popularity would probably rise to another level.

Honkai Impact 3rd might truly become a nationally popular mobile game!

"Mr. Mo Li, I want to buy the copyright to this song and include it on my new album as a pre-release track, to be released soon!"

"Of course, I won't take the songwriting credit. At the same time, I'll state on the album that this is Honkai Impact 3rd's theme song and actively help you promote the game."

But after hearing Eden's words, Mo Li shook his head. "In that case, MiHoYo Studio would be taking advantage of you, so there's no need for money..."

"Consider it thanks for your previous help, and... a chance to make a friend~"

"Don't rush to refuse. Honkai Impact 3rd's current popularity owes a great deal to Miss Eden. I don't even know how to thank you."

"Since you're interested in this song, let's not talk about money anymore."

Whether it was Eden livestreaming herself playing Honkai Impact 3rd or later speaking up for it on Weibo, she had indeed brought enormous benefits to Honkai Impact 3rd.

And with the system, Mo Li naturally didn't lack money.

What he lacked... was popularity points.

So giving this song to Eden for free was completely fine.

How much could one song be worth? Even if it was a golden hit, compared with Eden's friendship, it wasn't worth mentioning at all.

Besides, Eden had helped MiHoYo before.

It could even be said that Eden being willing to sing a MiHoYo song and promote it at the same time was already doing MiHoYo a favor.

After all, the people around the world who wanted to work with Eden could line up all the way along the Great Wall of China.

After hearing Mo Li's words, Eden thought for only a moment before smiling and nodding.

Although it was her first time meeting Mo Li, she had quite a good impression of the boy.

And he made games, music, and even animation. He was simply too talented, wasn't he?

She was more than happy to be friends with someone like that.

"Since that's the case, Mr. Mo Li, may I borrow your recording studio?"

Eden Wants to Record a Song

"Wow~ Eden is going to record a song?"

Elysia's eyes lit up. She immediately hugged Eden's arm and spoke as though acting spoiled. "It's been so long since Eden sang for me~ How wonderful~"

The other girls in the Studio were interested as well.

A live performance from diva Eden—who wouldn't be curious?

Kiana had even taken out her phone and was ready to record it.

When she got to school later, she would absolutely make her classmates die of envy.

But... before she could start recording, Durandal knocked her on the head.

"Oww~ Sis... why did you hit my head?"

"If I didn't, you were about to cause trouble."

Durandal sighed. "The boss didn't avoid you when discussing the collaboration with Eden because he trusts you, but they haven't even signed a contract yet. That means it hasn't been fully settled..."

At that point, Durandal shook her head again. "Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it. In short, you can't record a video, understand?"
