"From now on, Xue Zhiyi will take over as the producer for TiMi Studio's games. As for you..." Xiao Ma waved his hand, "Scram."
It was completely different from TiMi Studio.
At this moment, at MiHoYo Studio, the girls were happily playing games together.
The new update for Honkai Impact 3rd was finished.
So, Mo Li specifically let them relax and brought out the 1.0 version of Genshin Impact for the girls to enjoy.
The girls had been eyeing this game for a long time.
They even put aside the improvement work for "Saving Girl" and all stepped into the Teyvat Continent.
Mo Li sat in the distance, listening to the girls' chatter while preparing the preview for Genshin Impact.
The atmosphere was incredibly warm.
Meanwhile, Honkai Impact 3rd's story had reached Chapter 16 in this update.
This chapter didn't have any animated short films or major climactic plot points.
The only thing players could discuss was the reunion between Mei and Kiana.
And this part of the story was incredibly heartbreaking for the players.
But when you think about it, MiHoYo's emotional gut punches were much more sophisticated than those in the previous "Maiden Voyage."
It just made people's hearts ache.
At the end of this chapter, Dr. Tesla informed Mei and all the players... that Kiana's life was on a countdown due to the erosion of multiple Herrscher gems...
Players seeing this exclaimed that MiHoYo was too cruel and threatened to "kill" the MiHoYo boss...
"Since you've all been emotionally wrecked like this, I'll feel sorry for you and give you a surprise~"
Mo Li planned to release the Genshin Impact trailer tonight.
Once it had time to ferment, and after the hype for the Genshin Impact trailer died down, he would immediately update Honkai Impact 3rd Chapter 17.
At that time, Stormterror would make a cameo appearance in Honkai Impact 3rd Chapter 17.
Then, he would have Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd do a collaboration...
The two games would trend together, without stealing each other's spotlight, it was perfect!
Without spending a single cent, by leveraging the popularity of Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact could achieve perfect promotional results.
"I'm truly a marketing genius~"
Chapter 64: Kiana: Boss! No stealing my Mei!
"Done~"
After preparing the Genshin Impact promotional video, Mo Li stretched.
"Time to check on Mei's voice acting."
In Chapter 17, the scenes were almost entirely Mei and Kiana's.
Therefore, while the other girls were happily exploring the world of Teyvat, only Mei was working her heart out.
Mo Li poured a glass of water and quietly walked towards the voice acting studio.
When he saw Mei in the voice acting studio, crying her eyes out, he sighed.
Whether in reality or in the game, Kiana and Mei's feelings for each other were incredibly deep.
And the emotional blow in Chapter 17 landed directly on Mei and Kiana.
Mei was already an emotional girl, so it was no surprise she cried upon seeing the script.
Mo Li hadn't wanted Mei to voice this chapter, but that girl seemed quite stubborn when it came to work...
"Now you know how to cry..."
Mo Li shook his head and pushed open the door to the voice acting studio.
"Mei, why don't you take a break and have some water?"
The sudden voice pulled Mei's attention away from the story.
She wiped away her tears and then said weakly, "Thank you, Boss... But it's okay, my emotions are just right, it won't affect the voice acting."
Mei's eyes were red, and her brows were slightly furrowed. Her delicate face exuded a pitiable charm.
Mo Li ignored Mei's words, instead, he placed the water cup in her hand and forcefully turned off the recording equipment.
Seeing this, Mei said weakly, "Boss... The emotions I painstakingly built up for 860..."
"Painstakingly?" Mo Li rolled his eyes, handing her tissues while teasingly saying, "Look at yourself, looking so pathetic..."
"If Kiana saw you like this, she'd pounce on me and bite me again."
"D-do I..." Mei quickly put down the water cup and checked her reflection with her phone.
When she saw her current appearance, she couldn't help but blush a little.
She had been in the recording booth for so long, but she hadn't even recorded a few lines. Just reading the script had made her cry.
"Alright, go tidy yourself up. Kiana can accompany you to relax a bit."
Mo Li softly said as he turned off the equipment in the recording booth, "There's no rush with the voice acting. We still have plenty of time."
"Thank you... Boss, but... maybe don't turn off all this equipment," Mei said, her expression becoming very serious. "I'll just take a moment to recover here. That way, I can quickly get back into character and finish recording chapter 17 as soon as possible."
"Boss, can you stop looking down on me... We can actually make a game ourselves!"
Mo Li was stunned by Mei's serious demeanor.
But after thinking about it, Mei wasn't wrong.
In a way, Mei and the other girls were much more capable than him.
At the very least, they could run a game on their own merits.
"Fine... but don't get too immersed and affect your mood."
(acbi) Mei: "..."
"Boss is still underestimating me..."
Mo Li shrugged. "What can I do? You always have that gentle look about you, making you seem easy to bully."
"Is it really that exaggerated... I think Ganyu is much weaker than me."
Mo Li pondered for a moment before commenting, "Ganyu is the type who... looks like you wouldn't want to bully her. As for Mei... you look like you want to bully her. Perhaps that's why Kiana always talks about 'protecting Mei'."
Mei was stunned for a moment before breaking into a smile. "Kiana... I always felt like I was the one protecting her..."
"Mmm... I think you two are quite complementary," Mo Li chuckled. "Mei looks easy to bully, but she's very smart. Kiana, on the other hand, looks like she's not smart, and she'll just beat up anyone she doesn't like."
"If she stays like this, she'll probably get tricked and still have to count the money for them."
Mei smiled. "She's the youngest sister... yet she's always going around talking about protecting this and that."
"But you're wrong about one thing, Boss. Kiana is actually quite smart; she just doesn't like to use her brain."
Mo Li thought about it and realized it was true.
The reason she always acted a bit silly was because Mei or the other sisters were around.
In short, she was just lazy and didn't want to bother thinking.
"I didn't really notice that before. I just remember that she bites quite hard..."
Hearing Mo Li's complaint, Mei couldn't help but laugh. Then, her eyes filled with apology. "I'm sorry, Boss... Kiana is just a bit impulsive."
Mo Li smiled indifferently. "That's why you shouldn't cry. When you cry, she thinks I'm bullying you..."
"She can't beat me, so she bites me."
Mei knew Mo Li was joking, so she just chuckled and nodded.
Seeing that Mei seemed to be in better spirits, Mo Li thought about getting up to leave.
But Mei pulled out her phone and waved it at Mo Li with a smile. "Boss, carry me a few times against the Cryo Regisvine, okay?"
Mo Li thought about it. He didn't seem to have anything else to do, so he smiled. "Log in!"
As soon as he and Mei logged in, the other girls who were already playing saw them.
They all sent requests to join the world.
Mei casually clicked to accept a couple of them. Bronya and Ganyu entered.
Bronya: "Mei, aren't you doing voice acting?"
Mei: "Taking a break."
Ganyu: "The Boss is here too!"
Mo Li: "Mei is too weak and can't beat the Cryo Regisvine, so she asked me for help."
As soon as he said that, Mei couldn't help but look up and glare at Mo Li. "Boss... I've just been playing for a shorter time..."
Just as Mo Li was about to say something, Kiana suddenly burst into the recording booth.
"Mei!!"
With Kiana's shout, Mo Li seemed to hear a hint of indignation.
"Boss, you're too much! You're trying to steal my Mei!!" Kiana said, glaring angrily at Mo Li as she rushed towards Mei.
"Mei, did the Boss trick you into not letting me into your world~"
Mei looked at Mo Li with a helpless expression, then affectionately said, "No... I just casually clicked accept a couple of times."
"Exactly~" Mo Li looked provocatively at Kiana, "How can you blame anyone else? Kiana was just too slow with her hands, we applied faster than her."
"Impossible!" Kiana immediately retorted, "I applied as soon as Mei logged in. I didn't even open the chests I'd already half-decrypted!"
Hearing this, Mo Li put on a surprised expression, "Wow~ Incredible! Kiana can actually solve puzzles now!!"
"Hmph~ Just a simple little puzzle..." Kiana only realized halfway through her sentence that Mo Li was mocking her for being stupid!
Could she stand for this?
"You... What do you mean? Are you calling me stupid!" she angrily lunged towards Mo Li.
Meanwhile, Mei held back a smile as she pulled Kiana back.
"Alright Kiana, the boss is just joking with you~"
"Hmph~ Joking is not allowed!" After saying that, Kiana snuggled up to Mei, "Mei, I'm actually very smart, right~"
Mei nodded, "Mhm... When people say you're clumsy, they're just teasing you. The boss is the same way."
"Really?" Kiana looked suspiciously at Mo Li.
Mo Li just smiled and said nothing.
Sometimes, teasing Kiana was quite fun.
After all, she wouldn't get truly angry.
"Think about it, your performance in the game... In the early stages, you seemed a bit clumsy, but as the story progressed, didn't you become more mature?"
"Isn't this Boss Mo Li's affirmation of you?"
Kiana's eyes lit up, and her mood immediately improved.
After all, in a way, Mei was praising her.
And it seemed she had indeed received the boss's approval.
