Creating Genshin Impact: Elysia Becomes My Spokesperson

"Heh~ I don't even need to try to guess. Penguins, they always pull the same stunts."

"Bro, why don't you scout ahead for Penguin, and then come back to tell us how the game is."

"Sure, bros, wait for my news."

At the same time, countless streamers on bilibili and Douyin were opening their live streams.

Since Mo Li hadn't invited any beta testers, the only people who had fully experienced Honkai Impact 3rd were the girls in the studio.

Therefore, for the past half month, there hadn't been a single leak about "Honkai Impact 3rd" online.

Under normal circumstances, the hype for Honkai Impact 3rd should have been gradually dying down.

But Mo Li kept releasing videos related to Honkai Impact 3rd from time to time, even brazenly marking the time remaining until the official launch: "XX days XX hours XX minutes until public beta"...

The result was that players couldn't play the game, nor could they get any insider information.

Yet, every couple of days, a trending video about Honkai Impact 3rd would pop up, making them incredibly antsy.

These videos only showed combat footage of a few different characters, with no other information revealed, leaving the players itching with anticipation and utterly frustrated.

Players only knew that the Valkyrie armors "White Knight: Moonlight" and "Thunder Queen's Demon Armor" were incredibly powerful.

"Wings of Light, deploy!" "Lightning! Burst!" When the Valkyries shouted these lines, the gorgeous combat effects were simply stunning.

White-haired loli, stoic girl, white-haired maiden, red-haired older sister, elegant maid, Shinzou flat...

Here, he had every type of beautiful girl you could imagine...

Let alone those in the anime community, even people outside of it were drawn in.

With many players unable to play the game or see any leaks, they started desperately searching for beta testing slots for "Honkai Impact 3rd."

Some wealthy players were even offering a hundred thousand yuan just for a chance to participate in the beta.

The news of accounts being sold for 100,000 yuan directly pushed "Honkai Impact 3rd" onto the Weibo trending list for a while, marking its successful breakout into the mainstream.

When Mo Li heard this news, he felt a bit helpless and could only post an announcement on the official account stating that the team had no plans for internal testing.

No matter how much the players begged and pleaded, Mo Li refused to open the beta, just dangling them along.

The girls in the studio all chided him, saying he was too wicked...

Finally, today was the public beta launch of Honkai Impact 3rd, and the hype that had been building for so long successfully reached its peak.

Whether they genuinely wanted to play the game or just wanted to ride the wave of popularity, most game streamers chose to stream Honkai Impact 3rd.

At this moment, a streamer on Bilibili with millions of fans, named Miss Fairy, uncharacteristically started her stream.

Although she possessed unparalleled beauty, most of her fans weren't there for her looks.

Her popularity stemmed mainly from her optimistic, cheerful, and innocent personality, as well as... her incredibly diverse streaming content.

Her only drawback was probably the infrequency of her streams; she might not even stream once a month...

But even so, whenever she went live, her stream room would be exceptionally lively.

Today was no different.

"Hi~ Did you miss me?"

On camera, a pink-haired girl smiled sweetly, gently waving her hand at the lens.

Her eyebrows were like new moons, and her face was as red as ripe berries. With every playful smile, she seemed like an earthly spirit, innocent and carefree.

With just a simple greeting, she could dispel all gloom and bring joy to one's heart.

Indeed, a good mood could be contagious. Seeing such a pure and adorable girl, the viewers in the stream room couldn't help but smile.

Immediately after, dense bullet comments flooded the entire screen.

[Is that Elysia?]

Chapter 13: It's Elysia Time Now!

"Elysia!!"

"Today's Elysia is as brilliant and dazzling as flying flowers~"

"Finally! My life is dull and dim without seeing Elysia."

"Hmph~ Elysia's opening this time is a bit average, but I still like it~"

Elysia softly read the comments on the screen, her face still adorned with a brilliant smile. Her lively eyes curved into two crescent moons. Even the occasional jealous remark didn't seem to affect the girl's mood at all.

"You don't like this opening? That's okay, I have 39 other opening lines~"

"But... you praising me like this... it really makes me happy."

"Let me tell you a secret, Elysia has been brainstorming content for this stream for the past two months."

"Guess what the content is?"

"To see a cute beautiful girl? We already saw that last time~ Besides... isn't Elysia a cute beautiful girl herself?"

"Go find Eden? I'd love to find her too, but she's been very busy lately~ I heard she's been struggling with her new album..."

"But don't worry about Eden, everyone~ Elysia will definitely make her happy~"

"Help 30 grandmas cross the road? But… there aren't that many grandmas who need help…"

"It seems you can't guess what today's stream is about… Then~ next up, Elysia's helpful hint~"

"What we're streaming today… is a game."

"Heehee~ No, no, with so many cute viewers, you can't guess… Huh? This girl named [Moe-chan] guessed it."

"As expected, cute beautiful girls and I always have a spiritual connection~"

"That's right, this game… is called Honkai Impact 3rd."

"I've been waiting for it for so long, but MiHoYo never replied to me."

"But it's okay, today is finally the open beta for Honkai Impact 3rd."

Elysia, while monitoring the comments, clicked on the Honkai Impact 3rd game icon.

The reason she knew about the game Honkai Impact 3rd was that she stumbled upon it while browsing bilibili in her free time.

Perhaps it was because the beautiful girls in it attracted her, or perhaps it was the line [Fight for all the beauty in the world] that drew her in. Regardless, the game had an inexplicable appeal to her.

Therefore, for the past half a month, she had been following information about this game.

She had watched almost every video Mo Li had posted.

Kiana, Himeko, Bronya, Mei… The cute girls inside really made her heart flutter.

"Fight for all the beauty in the world… Fighting alongside beautiful girls~"

"Elysia is already getting impatient."

With tens of thousands of viewers witnessing it, Elysia successfully logged into the game.

The opening animation still had that familiar [mihyo] and a crisp female voice came from her headphones.

[Reporting, Major. Unidentified flying objects have appeared over Canghai City, coordinates FH5639. No biological energy readings, internal conditions are not visible. Minor Honkai energy reactions are rising sharply.]

[Combat plan confirmed. Drone units deployed! Cover Valkyries boarding the ship!]

In the animated short, in the center of a city with towering skyscrapers, countless charging-class Honkai Beasts flew everywhere, alarms blared incessantly, and the once-bustling streets became chaotic, with no signs of people.

Just a few seconds of footage was enough to make it clear that a disaster had likely broken out in this large city.

And the disaster, naturally, was caused by those Honkai Beasts.

Immediately after, the screen cut, and the view slowly moved up from the girl's legs, with the music changing to a cheerful and slightly quirky tune.

Elysia's eyes lit up: "Kiana appeared, next is the beautiful girl time~"

In the live stream, many viewers who hadn't followed game news were also captivated by the exquisite and smooth visuals.

"Is this an anime? It looks pretty good~"

"Upstairs, didn't Elysia already say it? This is a game."

"Shocked! Games actually have such thoughtful animations interspersed?!"

"Elysia is streaming on a computer, right? This game even has a PC version!"

At this time, Elysia was also immersed in the game, and she barely paid attention to the live stream comments.

After the animated short, the game directly entered combat mode.

On screen, Kiana, clad in the White Comet battlesuit, held dual pistols and stood on a rapidly moving drone.

Kiana's lively and cheerful voice also came from Elysia's headphones: "Watch me show off my skills!"

Seeing this, Elysia's eyes lit up: "Is it my turn to appear~?"

"Fighting alongside beautiful girls also makes one feel happy."

She watched the beginner's guide while admiring the exquisite game graphics.

The drone weaved through the skyscrapers, passed over overpasses, and flew to the sea level; white clouds floated in the azure sky… This anime-like art style, paired with the cheerful music, made everyone in the live stream incredibly amazed.

Even Elysia's eyes sparkled.

"It's Kiana time now!"

"This is my stage, you know~"

Listening to Kiana's voice, Elysia's interest was completely piqued.

"Just like me, she's a lively and cute girl."

As she controlled Kiana to defeat Death Warriors and Honkai Beasts one after another, and listened to Kiana's spoiled young lady dialogue… she realized that in just 2 minutes, she seemed to have completely fallen in love with the game.

The viewers in the live stream also felt an urge to play, and while watching Elysia's stream, they quietly opened their computers and started downloading Honkai Impact 3rd.

As time passed, Elysia seemed to have forgotten she was live streaming, earnestly pushing through the game's main story.

An entire afternoon passed without her realizing it.

It wasn't until a phone call rang that her mind was pulled away from the game.

When Elysia saw the name displayed on her phone, she immediately let out a string of cheerful giggles. "My dear Eden~ Are you done?"

A gentle, elegant, and mature female voice quickly responded from the phone. "Mm, I'm downstairs."

"Coming~" Elysia hung up the phone and waved at the camera in her livestream. "Our little angel Eden is here~ I'm about to fight alongside her."

To the surprise of her livestream audience, Elysia hadn't forgotten about the stream.

PS: Feilu [a website] doesn't allow the use of that musical note symbol. This significantly reduces Elysia's cuteness (sigh).

Chapter 14: Pop Diva? — Eden

Upon hearing that Eden was coming, the livestream chat exploded.

It was Eden, after all, the most popular female singer in the country right now.

Her looks, aura, figure, and singing skills were all top-tier.

Moreover, Eden rarely made public appearances.

She never accepted commercial performances or advertisements, didn't appear on variety shows, and didn't act in movies. She only focused on writing songs.

In her world, it seemed only music existed.

Besides seeing her during concerts, the best chance to see her was in Elysia's livestream.

Therefore, every time Eden visited Elysia's stream, the audience would spread the news far and wide.

And upon receiving this news, Eden's fans would naturally flock to Elysia's livestream.

At times like these, bilibili's traffic would explode.

Not long after, Eden, with her long, wine-red hair, finally appeared in the livestream.
