Making Genshin Impact: Elysia Helps Me Endorse

"Now, let me take a look at little angel Eden~"

She switched the game character to Eden, and immediately, Eden's voice came from the game—

[May the triumphant song resound~]

"She's just like little angel Eden~"

Elysia slid her finger across the screen, admiring the character from every angle.

At this moment, the Eden in the game began to hum a beautiful melody.

[Hmm? What's wrong? Are you asking me... to play a song?]

Whether it was the idle animation, character lines, or combat elements...

The Eden in the game seemed completely tied to the word "music."

This setting made Elysia more and more satisfied as she looked.

Because her own life was just like this, never separated from music.

"Eden, Eden, you're a dual-wielding character~ You look so good~" Elysia was absolutely delighted. She couldn't help but put down her computer and hug Eden's arm.

Eden gave a doting look to Elysia beside her before turning to ask:

"Mr. Mo Li, when will the 'World of Earth' version be released?"

"If nothing unexpected happens... it should be after the 25th story chapter..."

"It's going to take that long...?"

"Hehe~ Can I leak the character models of myself and Eden then?"

Mo Li thought for a moment before smiling, "Not for now... I might be promoting a new game soon. If you leak this news now, it might steal the spotlight from my new game~"

"Huh? Mr. Mo Li is planning to release a new game?"

Mo Li nodded. "Yes, Rita and the others are currently testing the new game, and I..."

Speaking of which, Mo Li just remembered that it was time to release the promotional video for Genshin Impact.

"I'll release the promotional video now. You can watch it too, you should be interested in this game~"

Chapter 66: Genshin Impact Promotional Video, Astonishing Music

Mo Li took the computer and logged into MiHoYo's official account.

Elysia and Eden both leaned in simultaneously.

The video was uploaded successfully very quickly. At the same time, Mo Li also posted an advertisement in the Honkai Impact 3rd game announcement.

Currently, it was only preliminary promotion, so Mo Li hadn't purchased ad space on Douyin or Bilibili.

He simply reposted the promotional video once from the official Honkai Impact 3rd account.

At the same time, many players who followed the official MiHoYo and Honkai Impact 3rd accounts received notifications for the new video.

They all rushed in.

They originally thought the video would be a leak of Honkai Impact 3rd's new version.

However... the title was a few words they had never seen before—"Explore Teyvat Continent with Amber in the Genshin Impact promotional PV~"

Genshin Impact? Amber? Teyvat Continent?

Could it be a new event in Honkai Impact 3rd?

But without giving the players much time to think, the video quickly began.

The opening was also the big [mihuyo] logo, but the logo that appeared next was no longer Honkai Impact 3rd, but [Genshin Impact]!

Seeing this, many players finally understood.

The title, plus this logo...

This was MiHoYo's new game??

This situation shocked countless players.

Honkai Impact 3rd was currently very popular, and it had only been officially released for a little over 2 months.

And now they were releasing a new game?

But despite their surprise, the players were also full of anticipation.

After all, MiHoYo's reputation in the world was currently excellent.

Players naturally wouldn't believe that MiHoYo would create a shoddy game just to make money.

In the video, after the [Genshin Impact] logo disappeared, a energetic girl wearing a rabbit-ear headband popped out.

"Hello everyone~ My name is Amber. I'm from the Knights of Favonius and I'm a reconnaissance knight~"

Seeing this art style, many players' eyes immediately lit up.

It was still that incredibly comfortable and natural 3D anime art style!

It possesses both the three-dimensional depth of 3D and the aesthetic beauty of 2D art, a game style that completely appeals to young people.

In the current gaming world, MiHoYo's unique cel-shaded 2D art style is absolutely one of a kind.

It's not that other companies can't research and develop it, but games rendered in this art style cannot be produced in just over two months.

Referencing Tencent's "Maiden Voyage."

When it first launched, it was incredibly eye-searing...

At this point, the energetic girl Amber in the video finally finished her self-introduction.

"Then, today I'll be your guide and introduce you to everything about Teyvat~"

After the girl finished speaking, the screen cut to the game's perspective.

And six large characters, "Game Footage Recording," appeared in the bottom right corner.

The scenery of Mondstadt's Windrise slowly passed by, and Amber ran all the way to a small Hilichurl camp.

The players could finally see the game's UI interface and the quality of the graphics clearly.

Whether it was the distinct blades of grass or the incredibly smooth and pleasing art style, it surprised the players immensely.

Visibly, "Genshin Impact" was of much higher quality than Honkai Impact 3rd!

It was definitely a big production!

What caught the players' attention the most was the four character portraits on the right side of the screen.

Anyone who has played "Honkai Impact 3rd" knows that this is where you switch party members.

Could this actually be a party of four characters!

In the game, accompanied by rapid and exciting music, Amber charged up and fired a shot, alerting the Hilichurls in the camp.

The players watching the video thought it was just a normal rocket.

But they never expected that after the arrow hit the grass, the grass would actually catch fire!!

And that wasn't all that surprised them.

After the grass caught fire, the character named Venti in the party was switched in, and the screen directly zoomed in on Venti's face.

The young man drew his bow and chuckled, "Don't even think about escaping~"

As he shot an arrow, a green vortex immediately formed in front of him.

The strong winds swirled, sucking all the Hilichurl monsters together, and dense damage numbers continuously popped up.

Seeing this, the players didn't have any particularly strong feelings, they just felt that the game's graphics were slightly better than Honkai Impact 3rd.

Venti's ultimate animation was just average, not as good as "Honkai Impact 3rd."

However, the scenes that followed completely bewildered the players.

The game switched back to Amber, and she used her ultimate.

"Arrows like rain~"

Countless rockets rained down, igniting large swathes of grass.

And the vortex Venti shot also stirred up countless Pyro elements.

Among the damage numbers, a prompt for "Swirl" popped up.

Immediately, the green vortex turned fiery red.

And the grass covered by the vortex burst into flames.

Seeing this, the players finally understood.

The gameplay of this game was probably not as simple as they had imagined...

Wind could combine with fire to deal higher damage...

So, could there be combinations like Water and Fire, or Ice and Fire?

The players didn't remain confused for long.

Soon, the rest of the video showcased other elemental reaction effects.

Water-Ice Freeze, Fire-Ice Melt, Water-Lightning Electro-Charge, Fire-Lightning Overload, Fire-Grass Burning...

Wind element seemed to be quite special.

As Amber explained, the general gameplay of the game was also introduced.

Climbing, swimming, Wind Glider, combat puzzles, domain exploration, and... surprise treasure chests everywhere!

Seeing this, the players were completely ecstatic.

[Holy crap!! I thought it was Honkai 4 but it has so many new and interesting gameplay mechanics!!]

[Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, looking forward to it!! So f*cking excited!!]

[What's going on in MiHoYo's bosses' heads? How did they come up with so many novel gameplay ideas?]

[MiHoYo is awesome!!]

[A seamless open world? You mean… I can run directly from Schicksal HQ to the Anti-Entropy HQ without teleporting or loading game interfaces??]

[Holy crap, it really does seem to mean that! The immersion is way too strong!!]

[Me: I really want to play]

[Phone: No, you don't (sweat drop)]

[Nokia requests to join the fight! (doge coin)]

[As expected, MiHoYo has never disappointed me!! Release it for me already!]

Although the promotional video showcased many things, it still felt quite different compared to actually experiencing it.

Despite this, the novel gameplay in the video deeply impressed the players in this world.

In their previous games, aside from fighting monsters to level up and upgrading equipment, the most distinctive feature was the skills of different characters.

However, Genshin Impact had far too many unique features.

Just by watching the video, they felt like they were experiencing another world.

As the video continued, Amber led the Traveler (Lumine) to a place called [Mondstadt].

"Why don't you take a break in Mondstadt when you're not fighting~"

"Overall, this is quite a safe place~"

With the change in visuals and music, the architectural style of Mondstadt gave the players a very serious feeling.

"Although… occasionally some powerful monsters will come and attack this place…"

As Amber explained, a Western dragon swept in with intense winds and a sense of overwhelming pressure.

At this point, the danmaku exploded once more.
