"Rita..." Hearing Rita's name, Yae Miko's eyes flickered.

"I have to say, your studio is truly full of talent. Miss Rita's words were flawless when discussing the agency matters with me..."

"Yes! It's also the first time I've met someone as amazing as Miss Rita~ Neither Shenzi nor I could gain any advantage against her..."

Speaking of Rita, Kamisato Ayaka's mind conjured the image of that elegant, calm, and meticulous maid once more.

Because of Honkai Impact 3rd's excellent performance and unique anime art style, there was no shortage of agents in Japan.

Therefore, when they discussed agency matters with Rita, the initiative was entirely in Rita's hands.

Even with Yae Miko and herself, they couldn't gain the slightest advantage...

This was the first time she and Yae Miko had been at a disadvantage in negotiations.

Although they were in a weaker position, they had experienced many such negotiation situations.

But none had been as difficult as negotiating with Rita.

Upon hearing Shenzi and Ayaka's words, Mo Li chuckled wryly.

It's Rita... that's completely normal.

Chapter 48: I Need to Find a Way to Poach Shenzi and Ayaka!!

"So, you couldn't reach an agreement, which is why you came to find me?"

Kamisato Ayaka smiled and shook her head: "We've already reached an agreement. We're only here to see you out of curiosity."

"Curiosity?"

Kamisato Ayaka nodded: "Yes! Miss Rita mentioned that you developed the game Honkai Impact 3rd almost single-handedly, so..."

Before Kamisato Ayaka could finish, Yae Miko interjected with a smile: "So, we're very curious. To be able to develop such an excellent game like Honkai Impact 3rd by yourself, does this game producer have three heads and six arms~"

Mo Li raised an eyebrow: "Now that you've met me in person, what are your thoughts?"

Yae Miko touched her delicate chin, observing Mo Li up and down for a long time before commenting: "Besides being handsome, I don't see anything else~"

"It sounds like you're praising me, but it doesn't quite feel right," Mo Li narrowed his eyes and joked, "Why don't you say it again? I'll listen carefully~"

As soon as he said this, both girls covered their mouths and giggled.

"Now we've discovered another good quality... humorous~"

Kamisato Ayaka added with a smile: "Confident but not arrogant~"

Yae Miko chimed in: "Mhm, very charming~"

These weren't mere compliments, but the genuine thoughts of the two girls.

In Japan, they had met many young people who had achieved great success.

However, those individuals always carried an air of superiority when looking at others.

Even though they concealed it well, their gaze was difficult to hide.

Shenzi could see through their true nature at a glance.

It wasn't that this was a bad thing; after all, it was a natural human tendency.

As soon as a young person gained wealth and success, their mindset would change.

And perhaps even they themselves wouldn't notice this change.

Yae Miko didn't look down on such people; on the contrary, she understood them.

After all, why shouldn't a young man who achieved success through his own abilities be proud?

But while she understood, Shenzi and Ayaka still disliked interacting with such people.

Because that kind of gaze made them feel very uncomfortable.

To them, Mo Li was also a successful man, yet his mindset remained calm.

He was confident, but without any trace of arrogance or conceit.

Therefore, they were very surprised, and their initial impression of Mo Li improved significantly.

In reality, the reason Mo Li could maintain his original self was simply because he knew his own limitations.

After all, his current achievements were not obtained through his own efforts but thanks to the system.

Therefore, he was confident due to his current accomplishments.

And because he knew his own limitations, he maintained a normal mindset.

"Heh~ Misses, you two are also very charming... If possible, I'd really like to poach you to our studio."

Kamisato Ayaka looked at Mo Li with some surprise, thinking to herself: Is he... attracted to our looks?

Kamisato Ayaka wasn't being conceited; it was just that she and Shenzi had experienced such things before.

Given their appearances, it was truly difficult for people not to develop ulterior motives.

Therefore, when they were out, they never drank drinks offered by others, nor did they have close contact with people.

The tea Mo Li had just poured for them remained untouched.

Yae Miko's eyes flickered, and she said with a half-smile, "Hoh~ Boss Mo Li, you already have ideas about us on our first meeting~"

"And... two at once~"

Mo Li smiled and shook his head, "Miko, you jest..."

Then, he looked at Yae Miko with a very serious expression, "I genuinely hope you two will join MiHoYo!"

"I believe with MiHoYo's potential, we still have a chance to recruit you both."

Upon hearing Mo Li's words, both Miko and Ayaka were inwardly surprised.

Judging by his tone... this Boss Mo Li truly wanted to recruit them to MiHoYo.

However, they were still a bit unsure if Mo Li genuinely wanted to hire employees or if he was after their beauty.

After exchanging a glance, Kamisato Ayaka smiled and said, "Boss Mo Li hasn't even seen our abilities, yet he's so sure we're excellent employees?"

Mo Li nodded, "Yes, Rita told me."

"I see..."

Hearing this, Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka were genuinely a little moved.

After all, MiHoYo's potential was truly high.

Moreover, their current studio wasn't exactly a pleasant place to be every day.

The main reason was that almost everyone in the studio was male, and almost all of them had ulterior motives towards them.

It wasn't that they disliked men, but rather that those men would come over to fawn over them in turns every day.

For a short period, they could accept it, as being treated like goddesses felt quite good.

But over time, setting aside the annoyance, it felt somewhat wrong to constantly accept others' goodwill.

If they refused frequently, their colleague relationships would likely become very strained.

Seeing each other every day, how could they continue working if their relationships were strained?

As the two were deep in thought, Mo Li dropped another bombshell.

"As you two can see, in our studio, apart from me, almost everyone else is a girl. If you two come to work at our studio, you'll definitely find it easy to fit in."

"They are all girls who love games and have gentle personalities. Perhaps after some time, you'll gain a group of close friends~"

After hearing Mo Li's words, Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko were genuinely a little tempted.

They looked up and carefully examined Mo Li's expression, as if trying to see through his thoughts.

After all, beautiful girls going out always needed to protect themselves.

Seeing this, Mo Li wasn't in a hurry. He just smiled, "Alright, I'm just mentioning it. If you two aren't interested, it's okay. Our cooperation remains valid."

Kamisato Ayaka gave Mo Li a grateful look.

A smile reappeared on Yae Miko's face, "Thank you for your trust, Boss Mo Li..."

"As for your proposal just now... can you give Ayaka and me some time to consider?"

Mo Li nodded, "Of course~ Whenever you've made up your minds, you can contact Rita anytime."

"Of course... you can also call me~"

"Thank you so much..." Kamisato Ayaka bowed deeply to Mo Li.

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."

"Of course, you can move around freely only after signing the agency contract~"

Chapter 49 Valkyrie Dormitory, Eden's New Album!

Mo Li really wanted to bring Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko, these two highly popular characters from Genshin Impact, to the studio.

If the other party was truly unwilling to join the studio, Mo Li would have to settle for the next best thing and cooperate with these two girls.

In any case, within Genshin Impact, the character designs of Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka absolutely could not be changed.

After Mo Li extended the olive branch to Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko that day, the two showed clear interest.

Mo Li then had them interact with the girls from the studio, which was also to let them experience the atmosphere of his studio.

He believed that his studio's environment was definitely top-tier in the industry, the kind that made you not want to leave once you arrived.

As expected, after spending an afternoon with the girls from the studio, the two clearly liked the work atmosphere there very much.

However, what he didn't expect was that they rushed back to Japan the very next day.

Mo Li thought they wouldn't join MiHoYo Studio, but a few days later, Rita came over and said: Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko had submitted their resumes to her.

It was only then that Mo Li realized that Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko had gone back to report, and to resign...

It was amusing to think about it, as the agency even called Mo Li to complain for a long time.

Because after Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka left, over a dozen people from their studio left directly...

But the other party was just complaining; they didn't dare to blame Mo Li for poaching their talent.

After all, people strive for better opportunities, and their studio wasn't very large.

It was all thanks to Kamisato Ayaka that they were the first to discover Honkai Impact 3rd and secure the agency rights before anyone else.

Therefore, the boss didn't press the issue and instead asked Mo Li to look after the two of them.

Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko saying they liked Dragon Country didn't seem like mere pleasantries.

It was precisely because they frequently paid attention to Dragon Country's affairs that they were able to find MiHoYo first.

And securing Honkai Impact 3rd was a guaranteed money-making venture.

Honkai Impact 3rd had already been operating in Japan for many days.

As expected, the revenue there wasn't much lower than in Dragon Country.

After all, it was a kingdom of anime culture, and players in Japan simply couldn't resist the urge to spend money on games with such exquisite art style and storyline.

Because Honkai Impact 3rd was so popular, Rita directly squeezed the agents' profits to the lowest possible margin.

Yet, the other party was still making a fortune.

Not to mention Mo Li.

His popularity had already surpassed 200 million.

This meant he could now directly exchange for all versions before Genshin Impact 3.0.

[Popularity: 230 million]

[One Popularity Gift Pack]

At this moment, Mo Li sat in his office, quietly looking at the system panel.
