"Rita..." At the mention of Rita's name, Yae Miko's eyes flickered.
"I have to say, your Studio is truly brimming with talent. When Miss Rita discussed the agency arrangements with us, she was absolutely airtight..."
"Exactly! It was my first time meeting someone as impressive as Miss Rita~ Shrine Maiden and I couldn't gain even the slightest advantage against her..."
At the mention of Rita, Kamisato Ayaka once again pictured that elegant, composed, impeccably meticulous maid.
Thanks to Honkai Impact 3rd's outstanding performance and distinctive anime art style, there was no shortage of agencies in Sakura Country.
So when they discussed the agency arrangement with Rita, the initiative had been completely in Rita's hands.
Even with Yae Miko and her working together, they could not gain the slightest advantage...
It was the first time she and Yae Miko had found themselves at a disadvantage in negotiations.
Though they had been the weaker side, they had experienced plenty of such negotiations before.
But none had been as difficult as negotiating with Rita.
However, after hearing Shrine Maiden and Ayaka's words, Mo Li merely laughed.
If it was Rita... that was perfectly normal.

I Need to Find a Way to Recruit Shrine Maiden and Ayaka!!
"Then, you failed to reach an agreement, so you came to find me?"
Kamisato Ayaka smiled and shook her head. "We've already reached an agreement. The reason we wanted to see you was simply out of curiosity."
"Curiosity?"
Kamisato Ayaka nodded. "Yes! Miss Rita told us that Honkai Impact 3rd was developed almost entirely by you alone, so..."
Before Kamisato Ayaka could finish, Yae Miko smiled and picked up the thread. "So, we were curious whether the game developer who could create such an outstanding game as Honkai Impact 3rd all by himself had three heads and six arms~"
Mo Li raised an eyebrow. "Now that you've met me in person, what are your impressions?"
Yae Miko stroked her delicate chin and scrutinized Mo Li from head to toe for a long while before finally giving her assessment. "Other than being handsome, I can't see anything else~"
"That sounds like a compliment, but somehow it doesn't." Mo Li narrowed his eyes and joked, "How about you say it again? I'll listen more carefully this time~"
The moment he said that, both girls covered their mouths and laughed.
"I've discovered another one of your strengths... humor~"
Kamisato Ayaka added with a smile, "Confident without being arrogant~"
Yae Miko chimed in, "Mm-hmm, very charming~"
Those were not empty compliments, but the girls' genuine thoughts.
In Sakura Country, they had met many accomplished young people.
But when those people looked at others, there was always a sense of superiority in their eyes.
Though they hid it well, the way they looked at people was difficult to conceal.
Shrine Maiden could see through their true nature almost at a glance.
It was not that there was anything wrong with that. After all, it was only human nature.
As long as a young person became wealthy and successful, their mindset would change.
And perhaps even they themselves would not notice that change.
Yae Miko did not look down on such people. On the contrary, she understood them very well.
After all, if a young man achieved success through his own abilities, why couldn't he be a little proud?
But understanding was one thing. Shrine Maiden and Ayaka still disliked being around people like that.
Because those looks truly made them uncomfortable.
Yet in their eyes, Mo Li was also a successful man, but his mindset remained peaceful.
He was confident, yet he did not give off the slightest sense of arrogance or conceit.
That was why they were so surprised, and why their first impression of Mo Li had improved considerably.
In truth, the reason Mo Li could stay true to himself was simply because he knew his own limits.
After all, his current achievements had not been earned through his own efforts, but thanks to the system.
That was why he was confident in what he had achieved.
And because he knew himself well, he could still maintain an ordinary state of mind.
"Heh~ You two are very charming as well... If possible, I really would like to recruit you into our Studio."
Kamisato Ayaka looked at Mo Li in surprise, unable to stop herself from thinking, Is he... interested in our looks?
Kamisato Ayaka was not being overly confident. She and Shrine Maiden had truly encountered such things before.
After all, with looks like theirs, it was genuinely difficult not to stir up certain thoughts in people.
That was why, whenever they went out, they never drank anything handed to them by others and rarely allowed people to get too close.
They had not touched a single sip of the tea Mo Li had just poured for them.
Yae Miko's eyes flickered as well, and she said with a teasing smile, "Oh~ Boss Mo Li already has ideas about us after meeting us just once~"
"And there are two of us at once~"
Mo Li smiled and shook his head. "Shrine Maiden, you're joking..."
Then he looked at Yae Miko with an exceptionally serious gaze. "I sincerely hope that the two of you can join MiHoYo!"
"I think that, given MiHoYo's potential, we still have a chance of recruiting you both."
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, both Shrine Maiden and Ayaka were surprised.
Judging by his tone... Boss Mo Li truly wanted to recruit them into MiHoYo.
Still, they were not sure whether Mo Li truly wanted employees, or whether he was simply interested in their looks.
After exchanging a glance, Kamisato Ayaka smiled and said, "Boss Mo Li, you haven't even seen what we're capable of. How can you be so sure we would make excellent employees?"
Mo Li nodded. "Mm, Rita told me about you."
"I see..."
Hearing that, Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka were genuinely somewhat tempted.
After all, MiHoYo truly had enormous potential.
Moreover, things had not been going particularly well at the Studio where they currently worked.
The main reason was that almost everyone in the Studio was a man, and nearly all of them had designs on them.
It was not that they hated men. It was just that those people took turns coming over every day to curry favor with them.
For a short time, they could accept it. After all, being treated like goddesses felt rather nice.
But after a long time, putting aside whether it became annoying or not, constantly accepting other people's kindness inevitably made them feel somewhat guilty.
Yet if they rejected them too often, their relationships with their colleagues would likely become very strained.
They saw each other every day. If their relationships became strained, how could they continue working there?
Just as countless thoughts were racing through their minds, Mo Li dropped another bombshell.
"You two have seen it as well. Aside from me, almost everyone in our Studio is a girl. If you come work at our Studio, you'll definitely find it easy to fit in."
"They're all girls who love games and have gentle personalities. Perhaps after some time, you'll gain a whole group of close friends~"
After hearing Mo Li's words, Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko were truly tempted.
They raised their heads and carefully studied Mo Li's expression, seemingly trying to see through her thoughts.
There was no helping it. Beautiful girls had to protect themselves when they were out and about.
Seeing this, Mo Li did not rush them. He simply smiled. "All right, I'm only bringing it up. If you two aren't interested, that's fine. Our partnership will remain valid."
Kamisato Ayaka looked at Mo Li gratefully.
A smile returned to Yae Miko's face as well. "Thank you for your trust, Boss Mo Li..."
"As for your proposal just now... could you give Ayaka and me some time to think about it?"
Mo Li nodded. "Of course~ Whenever you've made up your minds, you can contact Rita at any time."
"Of course... calling me directly works too~"
"Thank you so much..." Kamisato Ayaka gave Mo Li a deep bow.
Mo Li smiled. "If you two aren't in a hurry to return, you can stay at our Studio for a while and get to know the other girls first."
"Of course, you can only move around freely after signing the agency contract."
Valkyrie Dorm, Eden's New Album!
Mo Li really wanted to bring Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko, two highly popular Genshin Impact characters, into the Studio.
If they truly did not want to join the Studio, Mo Li could only settle for the next best thing and cooperate with the two girls.
In any case, the character designs of Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka in Genshin Impact absolutely could not be changed.
After Mo Li extended an olive branch to Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko that day, both had clearly been moved.
Later, when Mo Li had them spend time with the girls at the Studio, it was also so they could experience the atmosphere of his Studio.
He believed that his Studio's environment was absolutely among the best in the industry, the kind of place people would not want to leave once they arrived.
Sure enough, after spending an afternoon with the girls at the Studio, the two of them clearly liked the working atmosphere there.
But what Mo Li had not expected was for them to hurriedly return to Sakura Country the very next day.
Mo Li had thought they would not join MiHoYo Studio, but a few days later, Rita came to tell him that Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko had submitted their résumés to her.
Only then did Mo Li realize that Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko had rushed back to hand over their work and resign...
It was rather funny. The agency even called Mo Li and complained to him for a long time.
Because after Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka left, more than a dozen people from their Studio left as well...
But the other side merely complained a little. They did not dare blame Mo Li for poaching their people.
After all, people always sought higher ground, and their Studio was not particularly large.
They had been able to discover Honkai Impact 3rd first and get the agency rights ahead of everyone else entirely because of Kamisato Ayaka.
So the boss did not keep pestering the matter. Instead, he even asked Mo Li to take good care of the two girls.
Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko said they liked Dragon Country very much. It seemed that had not merely been polite talk.
It was precisely because they often followed news from Dragon Country that they had been able to find MiHoYo before anyone else.
And securing the agency rights for Honkai Impact 3rd had been a business guaranteed to make money.
Honkai Impact 3rd had now been available in Sakura Country for many days.
Sure enough, its revenue there was not much lower than in Dragon Country.
As the kingdom of anime culture, Sakura Country's players simply could not resist spending money on a game with such exquisite art and story.
Because Honkai Impact 3rd was so sought after, Rita had pushed the agency's profits down to the absolute minimum.
Yet they were still making a fortune.
Mo Li, needless to say, was doing even better.
His popularity points had surpassed 200 million.
That meant he could now directly exchange for every version of Genshin Impact before 3.0.
Popularity Points: 230 million One Popularity Points Gift Pack
At that moment, Mo Li sat in his office, silently looking at the system panel.
