When his popularity surpassed a hundred million, the system awarded him an additional popularity gift pack.
Mo Li was quite looking forward to it.
"System sis, give me a God Key from the gift pack. If that's not possible, a Vision will do too."
The system did not respond to Mo Li's plea.
Mo Li was not surprised. He had only said it casually and had not placed much hope on it.
"Open the popularity gift pack!"
Ding~ Congratulations, Master, you have obtained... Valkyrie Dorm (one high-tech villa)
"Valkyrie Dorm?"
Ding~ The Valkyrie Dorm can be used for both living and working. It has a flawless defense system and is equipped with everything a complete game Studio needs.
After hearing the introduction, Mo Li's eyes immediately lit up.
"This came at just the right time."
Ever since Himeko showed her face last time, people had occasionally been staking out the area around the Studio.
Their goal was to wait for Himeko.
At first, there had only been a few people. But after someone took photos of Himeko getting off work, more and more people began lurking there.
Leaving aside the issue of their identities being exposed.
For the employees' safety alone, Mo Li needed to strengthen the Studio's security system.
Although this street was particularly bustling, there was no guarantee there would not be some crazy fans.
So, for the sake of safety, Mo Li had truly been worried sick these past few days.
The employees had to sneak around when leaving work, and more often than not, Mo Li had to personally pick them up and drop them off one by one.
As the boss, he had actually become a driver...
Kiana had it even worse.
She had been directly blocked at the school gate...
Now, she and Hu Tao had taken a leave of absence from school.
Fortunately, Bronya and the others' identities had not been exposed yet. That barely counted as good news.
But this could not go on forever.
The reason players were crowding around the Studio entrance was simply because it felt novel.
That was why Mo Li had been urging Himeko to start a livestream or something these past few days.
As long as she appeared on camera more often and the players' novelty wore off, they would not be this crazy anymore.
By then, she could just wear a mask when going out. If someone recognized her, she could take a photo with them...
That really did make her seem a little like a celebrity or internet influencer.
Who could have imagined that Himeko and Kiana would make their debut directly through a game...
Their Baidu Baike entries listed their work as "Honkai Impact 3rd."
Meanwhile, the Douyin accounts Mo Li had created for Himeko and Kiana had already surpassed five million followers.
A Douyin account with zero posts actually had over five million followers...
This outcome left a whole group of second- and third-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry dumbfounded.
Yu Weiwei was green with envy as well, repeatedly urging Tencent to speed up the update.
She truly coveted this group of anime fans...
Finally, Tencent completed the visual rendering and finished the new version.
Although the visuals still had a certain gap compared to Honkai Impact 3rd, at least they were no longer that embarrassingly bad.
And Tencent had never strived for perfection when making games. As long as they could make money, they would stop there.
As long as it made money, why pour more money into it just for reputation?
Knock, knock, knock!
Mo Li's office door was suddenly knocked on. Right afterward, Rita's tall and sexy figure slowly entered.
With a faint smile, she placed a cup of coffee in front of Mo Li on his desk.
"Boss, Tencent seems to have finished their update. They even released a War Goddess matching Yu Weiwei's look, and it's getting quite a lot of attention."
Mo Li nodded. He was still thinking about the Valkyrie Dorm.
How should I explain this to the girls...
Forget it. I'll just use the same perfunctory excuse. They won't dig too deeply anyway. We'll move over there to work in a few days.
With that in mind, Mo Li closed the system panel.
To be fair, if the girls truly wanted to dig deeper, the fact that Mo Li had made Honkai Impact 3rd by himself would be enough for them to investigate.
Compared to the game, a high-tech villa suddenly appearing out of nowhere was actually easier to explain.
Is there anything wrong with me being a rich second-generation heir?
"Oh, right. If I remember correctly... Honkai Impact 3rd is about to update to Chapter 14's story too, right?"
Rita smiled and nodded. "That's right. Eden told me yesterday that she plans to announce her new album today, release the lead single 'Sky Dome Meteor,' and help promote our game's new version."
After hearing Rita's explanation, Mo Li's expression immediately turned strange.
Even Rita could not help laughing out loud.
Tencent really was... colliding with them every single time...
It seemed the hype for the new version of Maiden Voyage... would be suppressed by Eden once again...
Eden and Honkai Impact 3rd's Dream Collaboration!
After Tencent released its new version announcement, it had continued working with Yu Weiwei to build hype.
With simultaneous pushes from both chat apps, they had nearly pushed Maiden Voyage's popularity to its peak.
Just as Zhao Wenbo was secretly feeling pleased with himself and netizens were enthusiastically discussing it, a single Weibo post from Eden directly blew up all of Dragon Country.
Whether it was the gaming world or the entertainment industry, everyone was completely stunned by that post.
Hello, everyone. I'm Eden.
First of all, thank you for your continued support and love. When I released my second album, I never expected to receive support from so many people. It made me very happy~
Three years have passed since my last album... and now, my third album will finally meet everyone. I've named it—"Radiant Ember."
Here, I would like to give special thanks to the owner of MiHoYo Studio—Mr. Mo Li.
One of the songs on my new album—"Sky Dome Meteor"—was written by him. It was released on music platforms at noon today.
"Sky Dome Meteor" is not only the lead single of my new album, but also the theme song for Chapter 14 of Honkai Impact 3rd.
Lastly, a little complaint: Otto, whom I hate the most, was actually voiced by MiHoYo's boss. Damn it, if I'd known earlier, I would've beaten you up when we met last time. (Elysia added this sentence.)
Eden actually released a new album!!
Ever since Eden became famous, every album she released had generated explosive popularity, practically dominating the entire internet.
It could be said that every time there was news of her Concerts or new albums, countless media outlets rushed to report it.
She practically did not need any promotion. Countless media outlets would fight to promote her for her.
Because they all knew that as long as a report contained the name "Eden," its traffic would skyrocket.
Of course, the entertainment industry was not Eden's world alone.
Whenever almost any king- or queen-level singer released an album, it was like a dark cloud blanketing the entire entertainment industry.
During that period, celebrities below the level of top singers and movie stars would almost all fade into the background, with no intention of competing for attention.
And Eden's news this time was even more explosive.
As everyone knew, Eden did not lack money, so she had never accepted collaborations.
She simply loved music, which was why she had chosen to become a singer.
Yet this new album had actually collaborated with a tiny game Studio!
And she had even included a game's theme song on her new album!!
This time, it was not just gamers who were curious about "Sky Dome Meteor." Even some king-level singers and movie stars had taken notice of the song.
Less than five hours after Eden posted on Weibo.
"Sky Dome Meteor" charged into the top twenty of the music platform's overall rankings with completely unstoppable momentum.
This was the overall chart, practically the playback ranking for all music in Dragon Country in this world.
Although it refreshed once a month, this was still enough to leave people utterly stunned.
Wuwuwu~ In my lifetime, Eden finally released a new album.
I've listened to it. "Sky Dome Meteor" is already an old song now, so when will the other new songs from the album be released?
A double fan's greatest joy!! Eden really collaborated with MiHoYo!!
MiHoYo's boss... Otto?? Get lost, Master!
Radiant Ember... even the album title is full of Honkai Impact 3rd elements... Eden really does love this game...
I'm so moved... The moment the intro to "Sky Dome Meteor" started, my nose went sour.
I can get emotional just listening to the song, wuwuwu~~
"I need neither future nor past. These starlights will not fade, until dawn breaks." I think I understand why the album is called "Radiant Ember" now. (Crying)
From the soft chanting to the steadily quickening rhythm... then that sudden explosion!! I got goosebumps all over... It was simply too breathtaking!
Is this Kiana's response to Aunt Himeko... Wuwuwu~~
Looking forward to Eden's new album, and also looking forward to Honkai Impact 3rd's new chapter...
Even though I know there might be heartbreak, I still want to see the new story...
I actually like the same game as Eden... Is this the charm of Honkai Impact 3rd!
What I care about most right now is whether Honkai Impact 3rd will release a Valkyrie modeled after Eden...
Holy shit! If they do, I'll kneel before MiHoYo!
No need to go that far, but there's nothing wrong with calling them Daddy Mi.
The hottest game in the gaming world, together with Eden, the pinnacle of the music industry...
This dream collaboration directly caused a carnival across the internet.
Other celebrities and game Studios could only tremble in fear.
The hype for Tencent's new version was completely buried beneath this storm as well.
Maiden Voyage's fans were utterly dumbfounded.
They had all been discussing Maiden Voyage just an hour ago, so why was every topic suddenly about Honkai Impact 3rd?
What? Eden collaborated with Honkai Impact 3rd?? Isn't that way too dreamlike?
What Yu Weiwei? What Maiden Voyage? Get lost, Master!! Honkai Impact 3rd—activate!
The scene online made Zhao Wenbo flip his desk.
"Fuck!! MiHoYo, you have no sense of fair play! You actually fucking collaborated with Eden! Have you no shame?!"
