Making Genshin Impact: Elysia Helps Me Endorse

Zhao Wenbo was truly at his wit's end now, resorting to curses to vent his frustration.

He hadn't stopped trying to find Eden.

In these past few days, he had still tried every possible way to cooperate with Eden, but unfortunately, she completely ignored him.

In the end, he could only settle for second best and choose to continue cooperating with Yu Weiwei.

Actually, there wasn't just Eden as a top star in the entertainment industry.

But the other top stars were all over 40. Did he expect those older women to attract this group of young people? That was just dreaming...

Of course, even though they were older, they were still top stars, and they definitely had popularity.

But the effect would absolutely not be as explosive as cooperating with Eden.

In the end, the "two-dimensional" crowd was still primarily young people.

After Zhao Wenbo vented his anger, he immediately grabbed his hair and started to worry.

Just then, the call from above came through.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenbo's eyes lit up, and he quickly answered.

"Temporarily avoid the spotlight."

The higher-ups only gave four words, but they made Zhao Wenbo breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Clearly, they also knew that they couldn't go head-to-head with "Honkai Impact 3rd" this time.

Chapter 51: Meeting! "Genshin Impact"!

After reading the information online, Mo Li put down his phone and called Rita.

"Rita, notify the other girls to come for a meeting."

Not long after, a group of beautiful and radiant girls gathered together.

Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka were among them.

"Are the preparations for the new version update tomorrow all handled?"

Bronya nodded lightly, "Yes, everything is ready. We're just waiting for the update tomorrow."

"Okay, this meeting is mainly for three things."

"First, as I promised before, in addition to your basic salaries, I'll be giving you all a big bonus..."

As soon as he said this, the girls became a little excited. It was finally time for payday.

However, when they saw Mo Li pull out a thick stack of documents, they all became curious.

"I've been thinking, a large part of why 'Honkai Impact 3rd' has the popularity it does now is because we used your character templates. Therefore, I plan to give each of you one percent of the company's shares."

"This is the share transfer agreement."

Mo Li's words truly surprised the girls.

Before, when Mo Li said he would give them bonuses, they just thought he was generous and a good person.

But now it was different; this was company shares...

Even though it was only one percent, with MiHoYo's current valuation, that one percent would absolutely be an incredibly terrifying sum of money.

And MiHoYo's potential was still continuously increasing.

This meant that this one percent of shares would continue to appreciate in value.

This wasn't just about generosity anymore; Mo Li was practically distributing wealth.

How could the girls not be surprised?

"Boss... did you have too much to drink?" Rita also looked surprised, no longer as elegant and composed as usual.

"I'm not drunk~" Mo Li smiled. "Of course, if you want to sell them, you can come to me, and I'll buy back that one percent at a price you're satisfied with."

The girls looked at the share transfer agreements in their hands and exchanged glances, seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

After a long while, Durandal was the first to speak.

"Cough... Boss, although I'm very tempted... I feel like I don't deserve it. Even though the game used our templates, it's not worth this much money. Instead, it has also brought us immense popularity..."

"Although we don't plan to make money from our fame, this isn't a bad thing after all."

"So... I'm a bit hesitant to accept this share transfer..."

After Durandal spoke, Ganyu also weakly pushed the contract back to Mo Li, "Boss... I haven't contributed anything to the studio, I really don't dare to accept it..."

Following that, the other girls also successively pushed their share transfer agreements back to Mo Li.

This outcome surprised and delighted Mo Li.

The reason he was so generous wasn't because he was foolish.

It was because he believed in these girls and trusted their character.

If it were anyone else, Mo Li would absolutely not have distributed shares.

It seemed he hadn't trusted the wrong person after all.

Anyone else would have signed the agreement without a second thought.

While he didn't know what the girls were thinking, being able to resist such temptation was something extraordinary.

Especially since the girls were short on money.

"If you regret it now, you won't get another chance~"

Bronya nodded gently, her gaze towards Mo Li softening considerably.

"We'll only take what's rightfully ours!"

Himeko chimed in with a smile, "Of course, if the boss is feeling generous and gives us a big red envelope, we might accept that~"

Mo Li was filled with respect for the girls' choice. They were truly the Valkyries who "fight for all the beauty in the world."

So adorably foolish.

However, in Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka's eyes, Mo Li and the girls were equally foolish.

They were well aware of MiHoYo's current potential.

If MiHoYo were to go public, shares would be snapped up by everyone.

And now... the boss was giving away shares for free, yet the girls had only hesitated for a moment before firmly refusing!

Although Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko thought the boss and the girls were foolish, they also found themselves looking at them with newfound respect.

After tearing up the share transfer agreement, Mo Li didn't hesitate to open his computer.

"Next, I'll talk about the second matter," he said.

As he spoke, he projected the computer screen onto the large display.

The screen showed a 4-minute video.

The video thumbnail featured a boy and a girl, both with blonde hair, standing opposite each other. At their feet lay a sea of white flowers. A gentle breeze stirred their hair and clothes, scattering petals, against a backdrop of a beautiful, azure sky.

The entire scene was incredibly beautiful and natural.

In the top left corner of the thumbnail, the words "Genshin Impact" stood out starkly.

A thought began to form in the girls' minds, but they were hesitant to believe it.

Seeing their reaction, Mo Li smiled. "Everyone, let's watch this video first~"

With that, Mo Li clicked the play button.

A beautiful piano melody began, and as the visuals unfolded, two shooting stars streaked across the night sky.

[The war has already begun... it's a continuation of the previous war...]

[The gods have gilded the contours of desire with seven kinds of radiance]

As the video played, the girls finally confirmed that this was likely Mo Li's new project.

The video continued, revealing very little information, but the girls watched with rapt attention.

Suddenly, the music in the video shifted, becoming incredibly upbeat.

And then, large characters appeared on screen: Mondstadt: The Outlander Who Collects the Wind.

The narration seemed to be introducing something...

[The giant dragon that has guarded the city of freedom for a thousand years finally feels lost about freedom. Can freedom commanded by the God of Freedom still be called freedom...]

The music then changed again, with beautiful music carrying a distinct Chinese dragon style that made the girls' eyes light up.

[Liyue: Farewell of the Ancient Body]

A mature woman with white hair appeared on screen.

The screen behind her, the hairpin on her head, her qipao-like attire, and the very retro patterns... all these elements made one think of the ancient, long-standing Dragon Country with just a single glance.

It wasn't just the girls; even Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka were stunned by the original artwork of Ningguang in the game.

After that, the video sequentially showcased the themes of the seven nations of Teyvat.

Although the narration was a bit difficult for the girls to understand, the various elements displayed in the video filled them with curiosity.

When the video finished playing, Mo Li spoke with a smile.

"I'm sure everyone has guessed..."

"That's right! This is the new game, Genshin Impact!"

"I've already obtained the license. Feel free to ask me any questions you have from now on."

Chapter 52: The Shock Genshin Impact Brought to the Girls

"Boss... is the new game coming out so soon..."

"Is this still a game of the same genre as Honkai Impact 3rd?"

"The art style is so similar to Honkai Impact 3rd~ And it has Dragon Country elements too."

Hearing Himeko's exclamation, Mo Li snapped his fingers, "The Dragon Country elements aren't just this little bit~"

"In Genshin Impact, I've set up seven nations, and they correspond to seven major countries on Earth."

"Among them, Liyue corresponds to our Dragon Country, and Inazuma..." Speaking of this, Mo Li raised an eyebrow at Yae Miko, "corresponds to Sakura Country~"

"Then... is the gameplay still the same as Honkai Impact 3rd?"

Mo Li shook his head, "The gameplay will definitely be different, but in my idea, the new game and Honkai Impact 3rd belong to the same worldview."

After that, Mo Li slowly explained the worldviews of Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact a bit.

Of course, he only said this to accommodate Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka.

After all, the other girls already knew the worldview of Honkai Impact 3rd.

"So, these two games might have connections in the future?"

Mo Li nodded, "Bronya is very smart. I plan to insert some Genshin Impact elements into the recent Honkai Impact 3rd event."

"Meaning, let Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd collaborate first, as a warm-up for Genshin Impact."

But as soon as Mo Li said this, Bronya immediately reminded him, "Boss... Genshin Impact is just your initial concept, right? If you expose the gameplay in advance, it might allow other manufacturers to imitate and plagiarize. What if..."

Before Bronya could finish, Mo Li smiled and interrupted, "No need to worry, it's just a collaboration. The event gameplay will still be mainly Honkai Impact 3rd."

"We can appropriately reveal some news about Genshin Impact during the event, but we won't reveal the main gameplay of Genshin Impact!"

After hearing Mo Li's explanation, the girls finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then... what is the gameplay of Genshin Impact?"

The girls were already very curious about this.
