When his popularity value broke 100 million, the system additionally rewarded him with a popularity value gift package.

Mo Li was quite looking forward to it.

"System sis, give me a God Key from the gift package, or a Vision if that's not possible,"

The system did not answer Mo Li's plea.

Seeing this, Mo Li wasn't surprised. He had just said it casually and didn't have high hopes.

"Open the popularity value gift package!"

[Ding~ Congratulations Master, you have obtained...]

[Valkyrie Dorm (A set of high-tech villas)]

"Valkyrie Dorm?"

[Ding~ The Valkyrie Dorm can be used for living or working; it has a perfect defense system and is equipped with all the necessary equipment for a complete game studio.]

After hearing the introduction, Mo Li's eyes lit up.

"This couldn't have come at a better time."

Ever since Himeko appeared last time, people had been staking out near the studio from time to time.

Their goal was to catch Himeko.

At first, there were only a few people, but after someone took a photo of Himeko leaving work, more and more people started staking out.

Setting aside the issue of exposing identities.

For the safety of the employees, Mo Li felt it necessary to strengthen the studio's security system.

Although this street was a particularly prosperous one, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be some crazy fans.

So, for safety reasons, Mo Li had been extremely worried these past few days.

Employees had to sneak out after work, and more often than not, Mo Li had to personally drive them home one by one.

He, the boss, had become a chauffeur...

Kiana had it even worse.

She was directly mobbed outside the school gate...

Now, she and Hu Tao had taken a leave of absence from school.

But fortunately, Bronya and the others' identities hadn't been exposed yet, which was barely good news.

However, this situation couldn't go on forever.

The reason players were gambling outside the studio's door was simply out of curiosity.

So, Mo Li had been trying to persuade Himeko to do a live stream or something similar.

As long as she appeared more often, the players' novelty would wear off, and they wouldn't be so crazy anymore.

Then, going out would just mean wearing a mask, and if recognized, they could just take a photo with the person...

In this way, they would have a bit of a celebrity influencer vibe.

Who could have imagined that Himeko and Kiana would debut directly... thanks to a game...

The Baidu Baike entry reads: Work "Honkai Impact 3rd".

And the Douyin accounts that Mo Li helped Himeko and Kiana create already had over 5 million fans.

A Douyin account with 0 works having over 5 million fans...

This result left a bunch of second and third-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry stunned.

Yu Weiwei was also extremely envious, frequently urging Tencent to speed up the update progress.

She really coveted these anime fans...

Finally, Tencent completed the graphics rendering and produced the new version.

Although there was still a certain gap between the graphics and Honkai Impact 3rd, at least it wasn't so jarring anymore.

And Tencent never strived for perfection when making games; as long as it could make money, they would stop at a satisfactory point.

As long as it made money, why bother investing more for reputation?

"Knock knock knock!"

Mo Li's office door was suddenly knocked, and then Rita's tall and sexy figure slowly walked in.

She smiled faintly and placed a cup of coffee on Mo Li's desk.

"Boss, it seems Tencent has already updated, and they've also released a 'Valkyrie of the same style as Yu Weiwei' which is quite popular."

Mo Li nodded, still thinking about the "Valkyrie Dorm."

"How should I explain this to the girls..."

"Forget it, I'll just use that perfunctory excuse. They won't probe further anyway. We'll move to work there in a few days."

With that thought, Mo Li closed the system panel.

To be fair, if the girls really wanted to dig deep, Mo Li creating Honkai Impact 3rd alone would be enough for them to investigate.

Compared to the game, a high-tech villa appearing out of nowhere was actually easier for people to understand.

Is there a problem with me being a second-generation rich kid?

"Oh right, I remember... Honkai Impact 3rd is about to reach chapter 14 of its story, isn't it?"

Elysia chuckled and nodded, "That's right. Eden told me yesterday that she plans to announce her new album today, release the preview track 'Sky Dome Meteor,' and promote the game's new version for us."

After listening to Elysia's account, Mo Li's expression immediately turned strange.

Even Elysia couldn't help but laugh.

Tencent is really... always colliding with me...

It seems that this time, the popularity of the new version of 'Maiden Voyage' will be suppressed by Eden again...

Chapter 50: Eden and Honkai Impact 3rd's Dream Collaboration!

After Tencent released the new version announcement, they had been cooperating with Yu Weiwei to hype it up.

With simultaneous pushes on two chat software platforms, the popularity of 'Maiden Voyage' was pushed to its peak.

And just as Zhao Wenbo was secretly smug, and netizens were discussing heatedly, a Weibo message from Eden completely blew up the entire Dragon Country.

Both the gaming and entertainment circles were completely stunned by this Weibo post.

[Hello everyone, I am Eden]

[First of all, thank you all for your continuous support and love. When releasing my second album, I never expected to receive so much support from so many people. I'm very happy~]

[It's been 3 years since the release of my last album... Now, the third album is finally about to meet everyone. I've named it—'Radiant Ember']

[Here, I want to especially thank the boss of MiHoYo StudioMr. Mo Li]

[One of the songs on the new album—'Sky Dome Meteor'—comes from his pen and was released on the music network at 12 PM today]

['Sky Dome Meteor' is both the preview track for my new album and the theme song for chapter 14 of the game Honkai Impact 3rd]

[Finally, a complaint: Otto, whom I hate the most, is actually voiced by the boss of MiHoYo. Dammit, I should have beaten you up when we met last time (this sentence was added by Elysia)]

Eden is releasing a new album!!

Since Eden became famous, every album she releases has explosive popularity, almost dominating the entire internet.

It can be said that every time she announces a concert or a new album, countless media outlets rush to report on it.

She hardly needs any promotion; countless media outlets will eagerly promote her.

Because they all know that as long as the word "Eden" appears in the report, the traffic will definitely skyrocket.

Of course, the entertainment industry is not Eden's alone.

Almost every time a singer of Heavenly King or Heavenly Queen status releases an album, it casts a shadow over the entire entertainment industry.

During this period, celebrities below the Heavenly King or Best Actor level are almost overshadowed, with no desire to steal the spotlight.

And Eden's news this time is even more explosive.

As everyone knows, Eden is not short of money, so she never accepts collaborations.

She just loves music, which is why she chose to be a singer.

However, this time her new album is collaborating with a small game studio!

And she even included a theme song from a game in her new album!!

This time, it's not just game players who are curious about 'Sky Dome Meteor'; even some celebrities of Heavenly King and Best Actor level have paid attention to this song.

Less than 5 hours after Eden posted this Weibo message.

'Sky Dome Meteor' rushed into the top 20 of the music network's overall chart with an unstoppable trend.

This is the overall chart, which is almost the playback ranking of all music in Dragon Country in this world.

Although it's refreshed once a month, this is still enough to make people's eyes pop out.

[Wuwuwu~ In my lifetime, Eden has finally released a new album]

[I listened to it. 'Sky Dome Meteor' is already an old song now, so when will the other new songs on the album be released?]

[Double fandoms rejoice!! Eden has actually collaborated with MiHoYo!!]

[MiHoYo boss... Otto?? Get out!]

[Radiant Ember... even the album title is full of Honkai Impact 3rd elements... Eden really likes this game...]

[So touching... When the prelude to 'Sky Dome Meteor' started, my nose tingled (cries)]

[I was moved to tears just by listening to the song, wuwuwu~~]

["I don't need the future or the past, these starlights will not extinguish until dawn." I seem to understand why the album is called 'Radiant Ember' (cries)]

[From low humming to gradually accelerating rhythm... and then a sudden burst!! I got goosebumps all over... it's too shocking!]

[Is this Kiana's response to Aunt Himeko... sniff sniff~~]

[Looking forward to Elysia's new album, and also looking forward to the new chapter of Honkai Impact 3rd...]

[Even though I know there might be some sad parts, I still want to see the new story...]

[I can't believe Elysia and I like the same game... Is this the charm of Honkai Impact 3rd!]

[What I care about most right now is whether Honkai Impact 3rd will release a Valkyrie based on Elysia...]

[WTF! If they do, I'll kowtow to MiHoYo directly!]

[No need, no need, but calling them "Daddy MiHoYo" is perfectly fine]

The hottest game in the gaming circle, plus Elysia, the ceiling of the music industry...

This kind of dream collaboration directly caused a frenzy on the internet.

Other celebrities and game studios were trembling in fear.

And the popularity of Tencent's new version was completely overshadowed by this storm.

Fans of Maiden Voyage were utterly bewildered.

Just an hour ago, everyone was still discussing Maiden Voyage, so how did it suddenly become all about Honkai Impact 3rd?

What? Elysia is collaborating with Honkai Impact 3rd?? That's too much of a dream come true!

Who is Yu Weiwei? What is Maiden Voyage? Get outta here!! Honkai Impact 3rd - Engage!

This scene online made Zhao Wenbo flip his desk.

"Damn it!! MiHoYo, you're not playing fair! How dare you collaborate with Elysia! You have no shame!"
