After taking a huge sum of money from Tencent, and unexpectedly gaining so much attention, this move was a massive profit!
"Even if they're haters, haters are still fans~" Yu Weiwei quickly contacted her agent to discuss a future plan for damage control.
She had only endorsed a Tencent game, it wasn't a heinous crime. As long as she waited for the storm to pass, she could apologize... maybe play the victim a little...
Then wouldn't these haters become fans?
Her agent, after hearing Yu Weiwei's explanation, was also pleasantly surprised.
"I didn't expect... that a game would help you take another step towards the top tier!"
"So, what do we do now?"
The agent on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and then chuckled, "Let's just watch for now. The momentum has completely built up, and that MiHoYo won't just stand by and do nothing."
Meanwhile, at MiHoYo, Rita hurriedly informed Mo Li about the situation.
Although it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Tencent was deliberately smearing them.
And with a very far-fetched reason at that.
However, they couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
After all, rumors, as they spread, can become "facts."
There were still many immature student players online, or players who were too lazy to understand the full story, who were being misled by these rumors...
So the girls were quite anxious.
Mo Li briefly glanced at the direction of Tencent's smear campaign.
"Heh~ Such a far-fetched reason... It seems Tencent is completely out of options and has resorted to disgusting tactics."
He originally didn't really want to deal with Tencent.
After all, falling out with such a large internet company wasn't exactly the most rational move.
But since the other party couldn't compete with sheer strength, they started resorting to dirty tricks.
"Since you want to suffer losses, I'll grant your wish."
Mo Li looked at Rita and softly reassured her, "You don't need to worry about this, I can resolve it by posting a video."
"Go and collect evidence of Tencent's plagiarism now, and sue them directly."
Mo Li's words caused Rita to look slightly surprised.
"Boss... are you sure about doing this? Tencent has been involved in many lawsuits for plagiarism, but they've never lost..."
Rita said seriously, "Boss, if we lose, it could have a significant impact on Honkai Impact 3rd's reputation."
Mo Li smiled, "Don't worry... In Honkai Impact 3rd's code, there are many of our studio's logos."
"Coincidentally... Maiden Voyage's game code also contains many of our MiHoYo logos."
"This..." Rita was completely dumbfounded. Tencent actually dared to directly copy and use the game code!?
But since there was concrete evidence, they wouldn't lose this lawsuit.
With that thought in mind, Rita gave a charming smile, "Okay Boss, I'll go prepare now..."
After Rita left, Mo Li opened his computer, logged into his game account, and recorded a Memory Battlefield kill showcase.
"Heh~ They say farmable characters are useless? You probably haven't experienced the Celestial's 'Bone Splitting Strike'!"
In the current version of Honkai Impact 3rd, the physical damage ceiling is the Herrscher of the Void.
And the lightning damage ceiling is one of the farmable characters, Fu Hua's Shadow Dash.
How dare they say farmable characters are useless?
As soon as Mo Li posted the video, it immediately attracted a large number of players to watch.
Players initially thought it was a new official game announcement.
But upon clicking, they found it was a Memory Battlefield clear video.
[Farmable Character White Comet Celestial — 7 HP bars in 1 second]
[Let me show you what 'HP bar disappearance technique' means — Kallen 31180 points]
As the video began, an intense and passionate electronic music track started.
First, it displayed the team composition and character stigmata.
White Comet + Elysia: Pristine + Valkyrie Moonlight.
Among these three characters, God's Grace is the most difficult to obtain.
As for White Comet, any player who has been playing consistently has already reached SSS rank. Even if they occasionally missed some playtime, they could easily reach SS rank through recent events.
As the music grew more intense, the game officially began.
First, Moonlight appeared, used her weapon skill once, and immediately flashed, triggering Time Fracture.
Then she switched to God's Grace, released her weapon skill, and White Comet appeared to attack Kallen to build SP. Just as Time Fracture was about to end, White Comet used a quick dash to trigger Time Fracture again.
By frequently switching characters and using dodges to trigger time fractures, the game's countdown progressed very slowly.
By the time Divine Prayer and White Comet had enough SP to unleash their ultimate moves, Kallen's yellow bar had already been shattered by White Comet's kicks.
At this point, the music also reached its climax.
In the game, Divine Prayer directly unleashed her ultimate and weapon skills, debuffing the enemies and buffing the entire team.
Then she switched to Moonlight, flashed to trigger time fracture, and used her weapon skill to debuff the enemies.
Finally, White Comet appeared and activated her ultimate. Under White Comet Celestial's dazzling barrage of 907 attacks, the boss Kallen's health bar rapidly depleted at an incredibly terrifying speed.
Seeing this, the players were completely stunned.
Memory Battlefield could be played like this?
It couldn't be helped, Honkai Impact 3rd's update speed was simply too fast.
Many events and story quests filled their game time, so naturally, fewer players were developing game strategies and team compositions.
This operation, defeating Kallen within 15 seconds, truly shocked them completely.
[Holy crap!!]
[???]
[What the hell...]
[Kallen: ??? What happened? Where's my health bar?]
[Kallen: Is this the pressure of a 50,000-year-old woman!]
[Fu Hua Celestial is awesome!!]
[Scarlet Bird Immortal is a stand-in, confirmed!]
[Tencent, get out! You told me free-to-play characters are useless?]
[I thought the Herrscher was already invincible! I didn't expect Fu Hua Celestial to be even more terrifying... Whose subordinate is this?]
In the game's settlement screen, the camera switched to Fu Hua.
The Celestial said modestly, "My performance this time was not perfect."
The bullet comments exploded again.
[You're too modest...]
[Redefining perfect...]
[Listen to yourself, are these human words? Look at Kallen beneath your feet first!]
[Ahhh!! Celestial is so cool!!]
[Copying homework, copying homework! I happen to have these stigmatas and characters, I thought they'd just gather dust in my inventory, but they're actually this powerful!]
[This homework... I don't think you can copy it!]
[Honestly, I didn't even defeat Kallen this fast with my SSS Herrscher...]
[Tencent, get out!! Yu Weiwei, come over and see! What do you mean characters are useless?]
[In different situations and against different bosses, free-to-play characters can crush paid characters... Awesome! Isn't MiHoYo afraid of no one pulling for limited characters by playing like this?]
PS: This was from a long time ago. If the author made any mistakes about White Comet's strength, please be gentle.
Just treat it as fanfiction... but it should be pretty close.
Chapter 63: Tencent Loses Lawsuit, Game Service Suspended, Genshin Impact Preview Ready!
As soon as Mo Li posted this video, it quickly became popular.
Free characters could actually be this powerful?
Not to mention other games, just compare it to Maiden Voyage. In Tencent's game, let alone free characters.
Even if you spend money, you'll still be beaten badly by players wearing ultimate battle suits.
Let alone Honkai Impact 3rd, where you can defeat bosses with free characters.
Mo Li's video was not only highly entertaining but also directly slapped Yu Weiwei in the face.
This also caused countless players to repost it madly, shouting "Celestial is awesome!" while mocking Yu Weiwei for speaking nonsense for money.
Under this pressure, Yu Weiwei had to come forward and apologize.
[To all Honkai Impact 3rd players, I sincerely apologize for my previous remarks.]
[Due to work reasons, I have less time to play games, so I am not very familiar with that game, which led me to say some inappropriate things.]
[I hope all players will not take it to heart. Honkai Impact 3rd is indeed a great game, and I hope to cooperate with MiHoYo in the future.]
After she posted this Weibo, the players didn't hold onto it anymore, and they unfollowed and left.
However, a small number of people still left mocking comments below her Weibo.
After all, although her Weibo was showing goodwill to Honkai Impact 3rd, it didn't seem like a genuine apology at all.
This also resulted in Yu Weiwei not only gaining no benefit from the situation but also leaving an extremely bad impression on her former fans.
Her public appeal also dropped significantly.
But this incident didn't end there.
After the video fermented for a few days, all Honkai Impact 3rd players gained a completely new understanding of the character God's Grace Sonata.
In short – a top-tier physical support.
Whether paired with White Comet in the Memory Battlefield or with A in the Abyss, she performed exceptionally well.
Therefore, many players frantically pulled on the Home Supply banner, their goal being to obtain God's Grace Sonata.
This also caused Honkai Impact 3rd's daily profit to suddenly surge significantly.
Seeing this, Zhao Wenbo was incredibly envious.
He was about to explode with anger.
He had spent his own money to try and disgust Mo Li.
But then the other party released a video that not only slapped him in the face but also caused Honkai Impact 3rd's daily profit to surge.
Even many Maiden Voyage players suddenly realized and made a comparison between Honkai Impact 3rd and Maiden Voyage...
The result was that they realized they had been complete idiots before, almost brainwashed by Tencent's constant barrage of traffic.
Coupled with the sudden death of a character in Maiden Voyage's new storyline, this led to a large number of Maiden Voyage players abandoning the game.
They joined the ranks of Honkai Impact 3rd...
A classic case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.
This also delighted many players who had been closely following events in the gaming industry.
