Making Genshin Impact: Elysia Helps Me Endorse

After seeing the game interface for "Genshin Impact" on the phone, they all became interested.

"Hu Tao, hurry up and control the character to walk around~" Kiana urged impatiently.

It was a new game, and she was so curious.

Himeko also turned to Mo Li, "Boss, is 'Genshin Impact' ready to play yet?"

Mo Li nodded, "Yeah, it could actually be launched directly, but I want to wait for the hype for Honkai Impact 3rd to die down a bit before launching."

"I see..."

Just then, Rita, Mei, Durandal, and others came out with breakfast.

Seeing Himeko and the others gathered around, occasionally letting out exclamations, they all became curious.

"Good morning, Boss~ What are they doing..." Rita asked curiously, handing a breakfast to Mo Li while looking at Himeko and the others.

"Thanks~" Mo Li accepted the breakfast from Rita without politeness, then smiled and explained, "They're playtesting Genshin Impact, and they're probably amazed by the graphics and gameplay."

Rita and Durandal exchanged glances and also joined with curiosity.

Mei and Fu Hua were the same. Ever since Mo Li showed them the gameplay of "Genshin Impact" yesterday, they had been looking forward to it.

"Hu Tao, didn't Boss Mo Li just say there's also Ganyu sister? Hurry up and open it~"

As soon as she said that, the girls all looked at Ganyu at the same time.

"Everyone... can you stop looking at me like that..."

Seeing this, the girls all smiled and looked away, turning their attention back to the game screen.

After a while, Hu Tao finally found the character selection page.

When everyone saw Ganyu with blue hair and two horns on her head, they all exclaimed.

"Why does Ganyu have two horns on her head?"

"I think it looks quite good."

"Ganyu, you didn't actually grow a pair of horns, did you?"

"How... could that be possible... Aunt Himeko, please don't tease me."

Himeko suppressed a smile and turned to Mo Li, who was eating breakfast, "Boss, why did you think of adding a pair of horns to Ganyu's head?"

"In the background setting, Ganyu is a Qilin divine beast, so it's not too much for her to have a pair of Qilin horns, right?"

"A divine beast Qilin..." Ganyu quite liked this setting.

At this moment, Bronya finally finished her morning routine.

The moment she saw Mo Li, she felt a bit embarrassed.

"Good morning, Boss~"

"Morning~" Mo Li was certainly not foolish enough to bring up what just happened. Instead, he handed Bronya a breakfast.

"Eat breakfast first, and then you can proceed with the game update."

"Thanks~"

Meanwhile, countless Honkai Impact 3rd players who couldn't sleep were all looking forward to it.

[Himeko is finally going to appear!!]

[Looking forward to it, the previous hype and rumors are finally going to be completely debunked.]

[This is hilarious, I just went to find the posts published by the haters before, and they've all been deleted.]

[I wonder if the other Valkyries will appear.]

[Am I the only one looking forward to MiHoYo Boss appearing?]

[Otto, take my sword!!]

PS: If nothing unexpected happens, the game will be officially launched in 2 more chapters, probably tonight. Please give us your first subscription, dear readers.

Chapter 56: The Livestream Begins, Skyrocketing Viewer Popularity

1:50 PM.

In the studio, the girls gathered together, cheering for Himeko in front of the livestream camera.

The usually enthusiastic and bold Himeko appeared somewhat shy.

Even Kiana was not as lively as before, sitting quietly in her chair, as timid as a little chick.

"Boss... why don't you join us for the livestream? I see many people online hoping to see you."

"I won't go. Today is your and Kiana's main event~"

Mo Li rejected Himeko's suggestion without a second thought.

"No way! Boss, you have to set an example!!" With that, Kiana ran to Mo Li's side, grabbed his arm, and pulled hard.

Mo Li shook his head helplessly, "Let's skip this time. After 'Genshin Impact' officially launches, I'll appear in a livestream..."

"Besides, isn't Himeko accompanying you for the livestream?"

"No way!" Kiana started acting spoiled. "If the boss is here, I won't be nervous at all!"

Just as Mo Li was in a difficult spot, Mei smiled and patted Kiana's head, diffusing the situation for him. "Alright Kiana, the livestream is about to start, hurry and sit in front of the camera."

"So soon!"

"Yes, just a few more minutes."

Kiana then turned to Mei and started acting spoiled again. "Sister Mei... I'm so nervous~"

"This..." Mei really spoiled Kiana, even more than Durandal.

As soon as Kiana acted spoiled, Mei turned to look at Mo Li, seemingly seeking help.

Mo Li: "..."

"If Miss Mei wants to accompany Kiana for the livestream, I certainly won't stop you~"

Mei: "...In that case, Kiana, you do your best..."

"Mei~ You're not helping me anymore..."

"I can't help it, Kiana... Livestreams... I'll get nervous too."

Seeing that Mei and Mo Li were both a bit helpless, Bronya finally spoke up to comfort them.

"Actually, livestreams are very simple. After starting, just greet the viewers, and then you don't need to pay attention to them. Just focus on playing the game."

Kiana pouted in disagreement. "Easier said than done, it's not that simple..."

On the contrary, Himeko's eyes lit up. "If I don't have to pay attention to the livestream room... I really wouldn't be nervous anymore."

Bronya nodded gently. "You don't need to pay attention, just focus on playing the game. We'll keep an eye on the livestream room for you."

"Thanks, Bronya~"

After all, Kiana was just a high school girl.

After being comforted by Mei for a few words, she stiffly sat in front of the camera.

As the time reached 2 PM, the girls signaled to Himeko and Kiana.

"Himeko, Kiana, we're starting~"

With that, Himeko's livestream finally began.

Within a second of starting, countless viewers swarmed in.

Any Honkai Impact 3rd player who was free at the moment, without exception, flooded into Himeko's Douyin livestream room.

[Awooo~~ It's finally started]

[Aunt Himeko!! Kiana!!!]

[Wuwuwu~~ Sister Himeko, do you know how I got through yesterday night!! I stayed up all night!!]

[Wowowow!!! This is too accurate!! It's exactly the same!!]

[As long as they put on the Valkyrie Armor, this is a hundred percent restored!!]

[Rumors are debunked!! I will forever love Aunt Himeko!!]

[So beautiful!! Himeko! Kiana! I want to snuggle with you~~]

[Where's your boss? Call him out, I want to give him two slaps as a tip!!]

Looking at the flood of comments, Kiana and Himeko were stunned.

Mo Li tilted his head to look at Bronya and asked in a low voice, "How many people are there now?"

Bronya was silent for a moment before replying, "...A full 1 million!!"

Even Mo Li was shocked when he heard that number.

He remembered that even Eden's previous livestream only had a few million viewers.

"Are Himeko and Kiana's popularity this high!!"

Bronya gently shook her head. "Himeko and Kiana's popularity is definitely not as high as Eden's."

"In my calculations, this should be the result of the Douyin platform combined with the recent popularity of Honkai Impact 3rd."

"After all, the number of people watching livestreams on that ACG website is ultimately less than on Douyin."

"So that's how it is..."

Douyin, after all, was Dragon Country's largest short video platform, with a naturally large user base.

Many viewers would stumble upon Himeko's livestream.

At that time, even people who didn't know Himeko would be attracted by the lively atmosphere.

And because of Eden's involvement these past two days, Honkai Impact 3rd's popularity had been unusually high, so this number of viewers was acceptable now.

"Cough, cough..."

Himeko cleared her throat, then smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I'm Himeko. Murata Himeko from Honkai Impact 3rd was designed based on my character."

After speaking, Himeko nudged Kiana's foot, signaling her to say something.

"Huh?!" Startled by Himeko's nudge, Kiana, who had been lost in thought, jumped.

Once she snapped back to reality, she looked at Himeko in confusion. "Aunt Himeko, why did you kick me?"

Himeko: "... (Annoyed)"

"Heehee~ Don't be mad, Sister Himeko. I just forgot for a second and said it out of habit..."

"..." Himeko silently stared at Kiana, noticing that the girl seemed to have forgotten about the livestream and wasn't nervous at all.

Seeing this, Himeko decided not to remind Kiana and instead smiled.

"We'll let it slide this time. The game has already been updated. Didn't you want to experience the new story for a while now?"

"So soon!" Kiana's face lit up with joy. She pulled her chair closer to the computer.

First, she claimed the game's update gift package, 300 Crystals, and then checked the newly updated events.

Meanwhile, the comments section was buzzing with activity.

[Hahaha... When Kiana called you "Aunt Himeko," I could almost see the killing intent in Himeko's eyes!]

[Is this how Kiana and Himeko usually interact? It's so cute, hahaha]

[Is this just for show?]

[Doesn't look like it. If it were an act, then Kiana and Himeko would have incredible acting skills...]

[Don't underestimate them. Do you know why voice actors are also called "actors"?]

[I know this one! Voice actors need acting skills too...]
