"Honkai, Queen's Descent, number one and two on the trending searches, it's unbelievable."

Keqing said excitedly, "What's even more amazing is that we didn't place ads on any platforms, it's all organic fans."

"Yeah, thanks for your hard work, everyone."

Hearing the girls reporting good news to him in turn, Ye Ming's mood didn't fluctuate much.

The Queen's Descent game CG, placed in this world with a backward entertainment industry, was like bringing a laser sword to a caveman fight. Its popularity was expected.

"The upcoming plot and animated CG will refresh the popularity again."

"An animated CG even more exciting than Queen's Descent?"

The girls in the studio couldn't imagine what kind of work that would be.

"By the way, how are the sales?"

Ye Ming was more concerned about the income, after all, he had to pay off the nearly 200 million yuan debt as soon as possible.

"It's already broken ten million after only a few days of public beta!"

"That high?"

This was something Ye Ming didn't expect, after all, the most money-grabbing banner hadn't been released yet.

It seems that the world he reconstructed is indeed good, at least everyone has money to spend.

"Elysia has also played a vital role."

Mei, wearing glasses, said while looking at the data, "She not only brought us extremely high popularity, but also spent a lot of money during the live broadcast, guiding many people to spend."

"Hehe."

As soon as they heard that the studio was making a profit, the girls all showed happy expressions.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ming realized that they were neither gods nor warriors now, but homebody girls who worked to earn money and live their lives.

"How about this, let's take out 1 million from the company account to give everyone a bonus, what do you think?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Ye Ming's proposal, the girls seemed a little dazed, as if a "program not responding.exe" pop-up window had appeared in their brains.

After a while, they said in surprise, "A bonus of 1 million!? I, I didn't hear it wrong, did I!?"

"Divided among everyone... that's almost 100,000!"

After the surprise, Ganyu almost cried: "I haven't seen so much money in a long time."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Seeing Ye Ming's puzzled look, A-Tzu stepped forward and explained, "Our studio has been on the verge of bankruptcy for a long time. Not to mention bonuses, we often can't even pay wages."

"The money Keqing used to meet you at The Good Hunter Cafe was all put together by everyone."

Bronya was also moved and said, "I'm going to buy all the games I added to my wish list recently! And the Houm figures that filled a shopping cart but I didn't dare to pay for!"

"Himeko, are you going to open a bottle of high-end red wine?"

Makoto joked while looking for her drinking buddy Himeko, "Let's go have a drink together?"

"..."

"Himeko?"

From just now, Himeko, who was sitting at her desk, had been staring out the window with a dazed look, looking absent-minded.

"Ah? Sorry... I was a little distracted, what were you guys talking about just now?"

"Bonuses! Almost 100,000! Why not take out the good wine that you usually can't bear to drink?"

"Yeah, it's really a lot of money, but... I want to drink less during this time."

"Ah?"

Hearing Himeko say this, everyone in the studio was shocked.

"Himeko, do you have a fever? Are you going to quit drinking?"

"Didn't I say it that day?"

"We thought you were just joking."

"Yeah, you mumbled about quitting drinking after getting drunk, how credible is that?"

"..."

After being teased by everyone, Himeko didn't say anything, only silently lowered her head, staring blankly at the lines on her palm.

"Not drinking is fine too, where should we go to have fun this weekend~!"

"Yeah, let's all go out together for some team building!"

Makoto's suggestion once again enlivened the atmosphere of the studio, but Himeko still couldn't integrate into it.

Despite having a head of fiery red hair, she looked as if she was covered in cold moonlight.

"Weekend... I have a doctor's appointment for a physical, so I can't join you all."

"Doctor? Himeko, are you sick?"

Mentioning this topic, Kiana, who had been deliberately keeping her distance from Himeko, also looked over.

"It's not a big deal. In the past, when I had discomfort or pain, I always thought it was nothing and that I could just endure it."

Himeko smiled palely:

"Thinking about it now, it's better to get it checked out. It would be troublesome if something was dragged on to the late stages."

"Himeko is actually taking care of her health?!"

Not just her love of alcohol, but also staying up late, irregular diet... Himeko's lifestyle was notoriously bad in the studio.

"You never used to care about your health at all."

"We've advised you several times, but you never changed. What's wrong today?"

"Hmph... I guess you're just getting old."

"Kiana!"

Mei quickly covered Kiana's little mouth, afraid that Himeko would come over and add two more bumps to Kiana's head.

"Perhaps... it really is because I'm getting old."

However, Himeko not only didn't get angry, but also laughed mockingly at herself, her eyes full of sorrow.

"..."

This time, everyone was silent.

A small abnormality would make them curious, but such a huge contrast would only make everyone feel that something terrible had happened.

"Ye Ming, come with us for a moment."

Everyone left Himeko behind, pulled Ye Ming out of the office, and then surrounded him.

"What's going on?"

"What did you do to Himeko?"

"Could it be... H stuff?!"

"Huh?!"

Originally, everyone's questions were still reliable, but Bronya's words shocked everyone.

"Speaking of H stuff, don't you think Himeko seems pregnant?"

"How is that possible! It wouldn't be that fast!"

Ye Ming couldn't help but retort:

"If you don't believe me, ask A-Tzu, she knows a lot."

"From intimacy to pregnancy, it's indeed not that fast, but..."

Although she confirmed Ye Ming's statement, A-Tzu seemed a little awkward, only to hear her ask:

"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you deny the H stuff first? Saying it wouldn't be that fast right away is the same as admitting the H thing."

·

Seeing some friends asking what PTSD means, it is "post-traumatic stress disorder."

The reason why Ye Ming has this reaction will be known later.

13. The Déjà Vu of the Burdened Domain

"Ye Ming! I really didn't expect it!"

"You actually made a move on Himeko!"

"Ugh! Too, too much!"

"How can you be worthy of us like this!"

The girls' feelings were very complicated. Shame and anger were naturally needless to say, but in their eyes, there was clearly a lot of jealousy.

"I haven't done anything! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Then why did you say it wouldn't be that fast, instead of denying it?"

"I... I just misspoke!"

Ye Ming felt a bit guilty.

Involving himself with Himeko was something that happened before the world was reset, so he accidentally let it slip.

He didn't expect A-Tzu to be so sensitive, able to spot a problem with just a casual remark.

"In any case! You can't use such nitpicking as evidence to convict me!"

"What about Himeko's screams outside the barbecue restaurant that day?"

"That was a test, to tell her to drink less. The process was a bit painful, that's all."

As for taking off Himeko's shoes and holding her thighs, it was best not to mention those details.

"And the other day, you called Himeko to the recording studio. Was the crime scene there?"

"Of course not! We were working normally, on a new main storyline... Ah!"

As he spoke, Ye Ming seemed to understand the reason for Himeko's unusual behavior.

"Could it be that the game's plot is affecting Himeko's mood?"

"The game's plot?"

Kiana, who hadn't planned to join the conversation, asked suspiciously:

"Can a game's plot really have that much impact?"

"It depends. Some people don't care, while others are very sensitive."

"Himeko really is something, dwelling on a virtual story. And she calls me immature."

"That's because Kiana is a single-celled organism, so she doesn't feel it," Bronya retorted.

"Hmph, say what you want. I definitely won't be affected by a game's plot."
