Making Genshin Impact: Elysia Helps Me Endorse Me

He adjusted his voice to what he considered its most pleasant tone.

"Miss Youlan, could you please put your new boss on the phone? I'd like to discuss some investment opportunities with him."

On the other end of the line, Durandal's voice was slightly cold. "I just asked the boss, and he said he doesn't need any investment. I'm sorry."

Zhao Yi: "..."

"Can I meet your new boss?"

After a moment, Durandal on the phone slowly replied, "I'm sorry, our studio's new game is about to launch, and the boss is too busy."

"I'm right outside your studio now, I won't take up much of his time." Zhao Yi was still unwilling to give up. He wanted to confirm whether the new boss was male or female.

"I'm sorry, the boss is out discussing advertising and isn't in the studio right now... I'm truly sorry, Mr. Zhao, but I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be hanging up now."

Seeing that Durandal was about to hang up, Zhao Yi finally grew anxious. "Miss Youlan, wait a moment. Your new boss, is he male or female..."

After asking, he immediately regretted it.

But the words were already out, so he could only force an explanation. "If your new boss has some free time, I'd like to invite him out for a meal. I'm very optimistic about your studio's prospects."

"Our new boss is male. As for a meal... I'll let him know if he has time. That's all for now."

Immediately after, a busy signal sounded from the other end of the line.

"Damn it!"

Zhao Yi slammed his fist on the steering wheel, inwardly furious. "A bunch of pretentious women, only bowing down when someone has money."

"This is infuriating... A new game, is it? I'll just have to see what kind of garbage you can produce."

After Durandal hung up the phone, Mo Li couldn't help but complain. "Is this guy crazy? Why is he asking about my gender for no reason..."

"Pfft..."

Rita and Himeko exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.

They naturally knew what Zhao Yi was up to and could guess why he was so curious about Mo Li's gender.

But the girls had no intention of explaining it to Mo Li.

They simply recounted Zhao Yi's matter to Mo Li in brief.

"I see..."

Mo Li didn't have any particular opinion on what Zhao Yi did.

After all, when pursuing a girl, isn't it expected to be a bit thick-skinned?

However, he hadn't met Zhao Yi himself, so his character was still to be determined.

The reason he refused to meet Zhao Yi was simply because he could tell the girls didn't want that guy entering the studio.

"Alright, I'm leaving now. Next, everyone, prepare to welcome the revolution in the gaming industry!"

Chapter 11 Fu Hua's Luck is Still So Bad

TheHonkai Impact 3rdgiven by the system's beginner gift package was already absolutely perfect.

Therefore, Mo Li had no intention of distributing any beta test slots.

However, Bronya was still a little uneasy, as she didn't know about the system.

So, for the past few days, she had been trying to persuade Mo Li to release some beta test slots so they could check for bugs and test character damage values.

After all, the game already had over a million pre-registrations, and the number of players during the official launch would definitely be even higher.

If any problems occurred right after the server opened, it would be troublesome.

Unable to help it, Mo Li had to put down his work and experience the 1.1 version of the game content with Bronya and the others.

The pretext was: "We're testing, so it counts as testing~"

As a result, the studio was now a scene of lively activity.

"Boss, isn't your gacha pull rate a bit too low? I've already done 90 pulls, and Thunder Queen's Demon Armor still hasn't appeared..."

When this somewhat unfamiliar voice spoke, Mo Li couldn't recall who it was for a moment.

It wasn't until he looked up that he realized it was Shenzhou Ping... it was Fu Hua.

"Did you pull from the wrong banner?" Mo Li slowly got up and walked behind Fu Hua.

Upon seeing the game screen on her computer, he was astonished to find that Fu Hua's luck was truly terrible...

Himeko's head also leaned over. After just one glance at the game screen, she couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

"Fu Hua's luck is still so bad, hahaha..."

Rita also nodded and echoed with a smile, "I only pulled 60 times, and not only did I get the Demon Armor, I even got the Moonlight Armor. I feel the rates are quite high."

The character banners in Honkai Impact 3rd also have a pity system.

However, there's no distinction between a soft and hard pity; a limited character is guaranteed within 100 pulls.

But based on Mo Li's experience, the pull rate he set meant that not getting a character in 60 pulls was already considered quite unlucky.

90 pulls and still nothing, this is ridiculous.

He smiled and shook his head, "Anyway, it's already 90 pulls, one more ten-pull and it should be out."

Fu Hua could only dejectedly tap the ten-pull button again.

[Thunder Queen's Demon Armor]

The moment this currently strongest S-rank battlesuit appeared, Fu Hua's lips curved slightly, and she felt extremely pleased.

"Is this the charm of gacha... it's really a bit of a consumer trap."

Just then, Bronya's expressionless, somewhat cold voice slowly came over, "Boss, I think the gacha rates can be lowered a bit."

"In the current version, the crystals obtained from the main story are enough for 20 pulls. There will also be welfare events after the public release. At this rate, these two S-rank battlesuits will probably be everywhere."

"Oh, right!" Rita also realized at this moment. "If that's the case, it won't really live up to the S-rank battlesuit status..."

Good grief, Fu Hua was happy about getting [Thunder Queen's Demon Armor] after 100 pulls just a moment ago.

And now you're going to crush his spirits like this? Is that really okay?

After silently complaining in his heart, Mo Li explained, "Actually, the strength of [Demon Armor] and [Moonlight] isn't that high; they'll become outdated quickly."

"Moreover, these two S-rank characters are only permanent characters..." Speaking of which, Mo Li suddenly thought of something and asked, "How far have you progressed in the main story?"

Rita: "I'm up to Chapter 4."

Himeko: "Chapter 6."

Bronya: "I'm only on Chapter 2. I was testing Abyss and Battlefield, so I didn't really experience the main story."

"So, how do you feel about the difficulty of Abyss and Battlefield?"

Bronya thought for a moment and gave a very objective evaluation: "I think it's too easy, but for normal players, it should be just right."

Mo Li nodded. He hadn't forgotten the setting that Bronya was a game expert, so he wasn't surprised to hear her evaluation.

"Huh? This..." Suddenly, Durandal's surprised voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

"What's wrong? Dumb Bird?"

"Found a bug?"

The girls quickly gathered around.

After all, Durandal's surprised expression was rarely seen.

"It's not a bug..." Durandal shook her head and pointed at the computer screen. "My sister has become the villain..."

On the computer screen, Kiana was wearing a gorgeous dress, her pure white hair cascading down. Her eyes were cold and merciless, looking at Mei as if she were trash.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Kiana grabbed Mei by the neck with one hand, her indifferent aura seeming like she would crush the ant in her hand to death.

Seeing this, the girls looked up at Mo Li in unison, their eyes seeming to say, "You made Kiana the villain?"

"Ahem..."

Mo Li coughed lightly. "You've probably misunderstood. Kiana isn't the villain; she's just being controlled by a Herrscher."

"Ah... you guys should just experience the story yourselves. I think the biggest highlight of this game is the story."

The girls exchanged glances and didn't dwell on the matter too much. Instead, they looked back down at the computer screen.

"This animation... it's completely anime-level."

The girls watched in amazement, completely immersed in the [Queen's Descent] animated short.

Chapter 12 Pink Fairy Lady?

After the girls finished watching the animated short, Mo Li slowly spoke, "How was it?"

Durandal was the first to speak: "I have to say, it's done incredibly well..."

"Boss, which studio did you hire for this short? If a domestic studio has this level, Chinese anime wouldn't be so bad."

Bronya nodded in strong agreement: "I think the music is also stunning. The music contributes thirty percent of the impact of the video!"

After the immersive experience of the 1.1 version content, the girls' admiration for Mo Li grew even stronger.

When Bronya looked at Mo Li, although she still had her expressionless face, if you looked closely, her eyes seemed to be sparkling.

Rita also exclaimed charmingly, "Boss, I'm admiring you more and more~"

Mo Li: "..."

Being stared at by so many beautiful girls made even Mo Li, with his composure, a little uncomfortable.

"Alright, alright, stop the flattery."

"We've tested for so long, you should believe me now, right? This game will absolutely not have any bugs, so don't mention internal testing again."

"Also, the music for this short isn't even complete yet."

"Huh? Not complete yet?"

Mo Li nodded lightly. "I have another song here. Paired with the [Queen's Descent] animated short, it can make the visuals even more impactful."

"So... does anyone here have vocal skills? Someone who can actually sing."

Actually, Mo Li handled the game's voice acting, music, short films, and the system itself.

The reason he was teaching the girls voice acting was not only to give them something to do, but also to give them a sense of involvement.

If they were only responsible for the game's promotion and maintenance, their emotional investment in the game likely wouldn't be very deep.

However, by participating in the voice acting themselves, they would care more about the game.

To Mo Li's surprise, not only could the girls do voice acting, but their singing skills were also quite good.

Their voices were already at the level of voice actors; the only difference compared to professional singers was a slight lack of technical skill.

But that wasn't a problem. After just two days of training, Himeko had perfectly mastered the song "Befall."

And so, without any closed beta testing, Honkai Impact 3rd was finally released to the public, with 30 million players eagerly anticipating it.

Zhang Ming had been waiting with bated breath for the day the game would go live.

He had even taken a day off specifically to experience Honkai Impact 3rd the moment it became available.

Within his gaming friend group chat, messages were constantly refreshing.

From the words of his fellow group members, it was clear that everyone was incredibly excited.

"Preload finished, account created. Why isn't MiHoYo opening the gates yet!!"

"MiHoYo: Stop rushing, only one minute left."

"I hope this game doesn't disappoint me."

"Kiana... pant pant..."

"Didn't Penguin also release a mobile game? Aren't you guys going to try it?"
