Making Genshin Impact: Elysia Helps Me Endorse

After the short film ended, Himeko wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes.

Although she was crying, a faint smile graced her lips.

This was a touching moment, but not one that caused pain.

Instead, it was a shock that brought tears of emotion to her eyes!

Himeko was now full of admiration for Boss Mo Li.

He was truly skilled... so skilled at manipulating the audience's emotions and reactions...

She took a moment to glance at the danmaku.

Besides the shouts of "ahhh," and praise for "Honkai Impact 3rd," there were also many messages expressing concern for Kiana's safety.

No longer nervous, she smiled and spoke softly, "Kiana will definitely be alright! I can guarantee that for everyone!"

Just as she was about to say more, Kiana got up from Mei's embrace and ran to Himeko, throwing herself into her arms.

"Waaah~ Teacher Himeko..."

Looking down at the girl in her arms, Himeko gently stroked her head.

Kiana had cried from the sweetness of the story; had she not?

For a moment, neither of them could pull themselves out of the narrative.

Looking at Kiana in her arms, she couldn't help but recall the determined, mature... and heartbreaking Kiana from the short film.

"Kiana..." she couldn't help but softly call out.

"Fortunately, that was just a story..."

Himeko's gentle smile and the way she softly petted Kiana... how similar it was to Himeko in the short film!

The viewers who saw this scene finally broke down in tears.

PS: Please stop scolding me, stop scolding me. Whenever there's a climax, I, the author, want to write it meticulously and well, which is why I write so slowly.

These are all big chapters, and the updates are actually quite substantial... I'll try harder and continue writing, sob sob sob.

Chapter 60: Bronya: Try making a joke about revoking my driver's license again!

"Boss... the number of viewers in the livestream has already surpassed 2 million!" Bronya reported to Mo Li with a hint of shock as she looked at the livestream data.

This number was the highest viewership for a livestream, second only to Eden!

Similarly, it was a number that ninety-nine percent of people could never reach.

Mo Li was also extremely surprised, "Himeko's popularity is already this high...?"

"Should I ask Himeko if she's interested in pursuing an idol career?" Mo Li said, half-jokingly.

Bronya mused, "Indeed, if she were to become an idol, she could easily reach top-tier status..."

"Heh~ You're all quite similar..."

Speaking of which, Mo Li felt a bit surprised that his game studio had gathered a group of girls with top-tier potential.

"Unfortunately, I don't have that interest," Bronya gently shook her head. "Himeko also told me before that someone had messaged her privately through her Douyin account, asking if she was interested in developing a career in entertainment."

"What did she say?"

Bronya narrowed her eyes and looked at Mo Li with a half-smile, "Is the boss worried she'll leave the studio?"

Mo Li chuckled lightly, "Worried isn't quite the word, I'm just curious."

Bronya stared at Mo Li for a good while before smiling, "Don't worry, boss. If we wanted to enter the entertainment industry, we would have done so already."

"If even one of us had become an idol, our studio wouldn't have needed to seek investment before."

Speaking of which, Mo Li became curious, "By the way, how is your game, 'Saving Girl,' doing operationally?"

"Very well! Thanks to 'Honkai Impact 3rd,' the game isn't losing money anymore," Bronya said, her gaze towards Mo Li filled with a hint of gratitude.

"However, player feedback still indicates that the gameplay is monotonous..."

Mo Li pondered for a moment, then smiled, "I was thinking of giving you some suggestions before, but I never had the time to say them..."

With that, Mo Li took out his laptop and opened a file. "I've taken the time to create some suggestions for gameplay improvements for you."

Hearing this, Bronya's eyes immediately lit up.

Mo Li's suggestions... they definitely wouldn't be ordinary suggestions!

One only needed to look at the "Honkai Impact 3rd" he created and the upcoming "Genshin Impact" to know.

With his guidance, the game the sisters were developing together would surely take a qualitative leap.

Her eyes sparkling, she leaned closer, gazing at the file on Mo Li's computer in a daze.

In fact, the graphics of the game the girls had made were absolutely top-notch.

Moreover, they had great ideas, with each type of turret having its own specific character design.

It was somewhat similar to Earth's Ark, and it could be said that such an idea surpassed a large portion of game developers.

However, it lacked the expansive worldview and story of Ark, and the types and numbers of gun-girl units weren't very high.

But the main issue was the subpar level design.

It was basically the same map, with a changed path and background, and an increased number of monsters.

And there were far too many tower defense games on Earth.

For example, the anime-style "Arknights," and the globally popular "Plants vs. Zombies."

Just these two alone could sweep all tower defense games in this world.

Considering the girls' feelings for the game "Saving Girl," Mo Li hadn't exchanged a tower defense game for them.

He had only referenced Earth's tower defense games and spent a little time giving them some suggestions for gameplay expansion.

But even these suggestions alone were absolutely enough to make "Saving Girl" completely explode in popularity.

As expected, Bronya's eyes grew brighter as she looked at the files on Mo Li's computer.

However, being the intelligent one she was, she quickly realized something.

"Boss... with these ideas of yours, you could completely create a hit game yourself..."

Mo Li nodded, "I know."

"Then why are you still..." Bronya trailed off, looking at Mo Li with a very complex expression, "The copyright for 'Saving Girl' is in our hands."

Mo Li nodded indifferently, "I know~"

"If you give these ideas to us, you won't get any money..." Bronya reminded him again.

"Do I look like someone who lacks ideas?"

Bronya: "..."

She fell silent, staring at Mo Li's computer.

Mo Li seemed to sense her thoughts and smiled, "Take it. Consider it compensation for you refusing the shares."

"Of course, if you really feel bad about it, you can add my name too."

"Just... as a level designer is fine."

If it were in the past, Bronya would definitely have refused Mo Li's request.

Because "Saving Girl" was the crystallization of the sisters' dreams and hard work, and they would absolutely not let a man interfere.

But after spending so much time together, they had become increasingly familiar with Mo Li.

They had truly come to regard him as a friend.

Furthermore, Mo Li had genuinely cared about them throughout their journey.

Take, for instance, the incident a while back when the girls were mobbed by Honkai Impact 3rd fans...

Mo Li, a big boss, acted as their driver for half a month.

He drove them back and forth without any complaints.

And then he even vacated such a luxurious building for them to live in.

He didn't even let the girls lift a finger when they moved...

And now, the man, who absolutely didn't need to concern himself with the fate of "Saving Girl,"

was still willing to spend his time coming up with so many novel and interesting ideas for them...

Facing someone who treated them so sincerely... it was hard not to open up to him.

Bronya took a deep breath and then smiled softly, "Since the boss is interested, I'll take it upon myself to let the sisters agree, and let 'Saving Girl' have an additional stepmother."

Mo Li shot her a look, "To be precise, a stepfather~"

"You're quite greedy then~" After dropping that remark, Bronya hugged the computer and gathered Durandal and the others.

Since Himeko and Kiana were still live-streaming their game, Bronya didn't tell them about this for the time being.

After hearing Bronya's brief explanation, Durandal and the others subconsciously stole a glance at Mo Li.

Rita smiled playfully, "You say you're just adding a level designer role... but you're actually still helping us..."

Durandal also strongly agreed with Rita's statement.

After all... Mo Li's current fame was already thunderous in the gaming circle.

His first game had become a national hit, and its success abroad had even reached the top tier of Dragon Country.

Especially in Japan, he had almost completely won over the Japanese anime fans.

If Mo Li's name appeared in "Saving Girl," it wouldn't be Mo Li's honor...

It would be "Saving Girl's" honor!

With the suggestions Mo Li provided, if they were placed on Earth, they would already be very common gameplay mechanics.

Various types of artillery girls, and monsters.

For example, artillery girls that can slow down enemies, artillery girls that can push enemies back, buffs that increase the attack power of other artillery girls, and bond effects between artillery girls...

As well as monsters with various attributes.

Monsters that are not only tanky and fast but can also inflict debuffs on artillery girls, and monsters that attack the backline...

In terms of gameplay, a co-op mode and real-time combat mode can be added.

Another perspective gameplay was even set up.

This one, Mo Li brought over the gameplay of Plants vs. Zombies.

The various plants were replaced with artillery girls, and the zombies were replaced with monsters wielding blades.

There were shield girls, bomb girls, trap girls, and communication girls who handled air drop supplies...

These novel ideas captivated the girls.

This was infinitely better than their previous monotonous gameplay.

"Too... too amazing!!" Ganyu exclaimed after reading these suggestions.

Durandal also nodded seriously, "These ideas could completely form the basis of a new tower defense game..."

"And it would definitely be a hit!" Ganyu added softly.

The girls were completely stunned.

It was one thing for Mo Li to give them shares, but now he was even giving them a game with hit potential all to themselves!

As a joke, even a biological father wouldn't go this far...

Seeing their disbelieving expressions, Rita chuckled, covering her mouth, "Since the boss is being so sincere, should we still hide and discuss it?"
