Joining MiHoYo, the Savior Me is Targeted by Elysia

Leaving behind that confident declaration, Kiana departed.

"Kiana is as thick-headed as ever."

"Really? I think Kiana's going to crash and burn."

"You don't understand Kiana at all, Ye Ming."

Bronya stated with conviction:

"No matter how shocking the game's story is, it won't have any effect on a single-celled organism like her."

"Want to bet on that?" Ye Ming suggested.

"Okay, if I win, you have to allow me to bring a Houm family bucket to my workstation."

"And if you lose?"

"Hmm..."

Bronya glanced at her own meager figure, then at the other women around her, and said with some reluctance:

"When my figure develops to be like theirs, I'll go out with you."

"Eh?"

Hearing Bronya's words, the women all clutched their ample chests, their faces turning crimson.

However, looking at Bronya's petite frame, no one really took her bet seriously, treating it as just Bronya and Ye Ming joking around.

"More than that, Ye Ming, you should go talk to Himeko."

"Yeah, I'll chat with her after work to confirm how she's doing."

That evening, the women were all paying attention to Himeko's condition.

Kiana said she wasn't interested, but she kept craning her neck to peek while she worked.

"Ye Ming, I heard them say you wanted to talk to me?"

When it was time to leave work, Himeko came to Ye Ming's side, still looking absent-minded.

"Himeko, you've been acting strange these past few days. Has the previous storyline affected you?"

"You noticed?"

A flush appeared on Himeko's face.

"It's kind of embarrassing, that I, an adult, would be upset by a fictional story."

"If the new storyline makes you uncomfortable, we can make some adjustments."

"No, please don't."

Himeko shook her head:

"The story is wonderful. It would be a shame if the players missed out on this main quest."

Speaking of this, Himeko thought of her own cameo, and her emotions became a little uncontrollable.

To change the subject, she quickly joked:

"But Kiana and I are always fighting in the studio, either she's making me mad or I'm beating her up. Seeing us like that, I'm surprised you could come up with such a touching story."

"Haha, that was already shown in the St. Freya Academy Arc."

Ye Ming said with a smile:

"It's just that the real world is even better than the game. Your bickering can continue forever."

And for that ending, Ye Ming had risked everything.

"Continue forever? Heh..."

Himeko mocked herself:

"I doubt it. That kid is mad at me right now, hasn't spoken to me in days."

"She'll grow up, just like in the stories to come."

"..."

"..."

After a brief silence, Himeko looked toward Kiana's workstation, which was empty, as it was after working hours.

"Hearing you talk about Kiana's growth and the days to come, I suddenly really want to see Kiana standing on her own two feet."

Himeko's smile grew paler, and her cherry lips trembled slightly.

"But I always feel like I won't be able to see it, like our everyday life of bickering together can't continue."

She rubbed her forehead, as if she were still hungover, and said:

"It's strange, right? I actually think the story in the game will become real. I guess I've been drinking too much, and it's ruined my brain."

"Himeko..."

Ye Ming sat next to Himeko, gently leaning close to her, offering her as much support as possible.

"I won't think you're strange. You don't need to worry about saving face. Can you tell me clearly why you have these thoughts?"

Himeko was right about one thing: even middle school students can distinguish between virtual and reality. A mature adult like Himeko shouldn't be so deeply immersed in it.

"The me in the game... no, everything in the game gives me a sense of déjà vu."

Feeling dizzy, Himeko unconsciously leaned closer to Ye Ming. Although she hesitated at first, she quickly rested her forehead against him, as if that would make her feel more at ease.

"If the daily life at St. Freya Academy is based on our everyday life in the studio, that's understandable."

"But in the new main storyline, the scenes that would never appear in reality only intensify my sense of déjà vu."

Himeko's confession surprised Ye Ming. This so-called déjà vu was not what he had expected.

Unable to offer a reasonable explanation, Ye Ming could only silently lend Himeko his shoulder, gently stroking her hair until the frown on her face, caused by the headache, gradually eased.

14. Players: We've already guessed the plot

"Thank you, I feel much better."

The warmth Ye Ming provided helped Himeko recover quickly.

But the moment she left the range of Ye Ming's body heat, the immense pressure and coldness swept over her once again.

Only then did Himeko realize that she hadn't gradually recovered over time, but had been healed by the sense of security Ye Ming provided.

"Is this also... déjà vu?"

Why does her body so naturally want to rely on Ye Ming?

What does this déjà vu have to do with the content of the game?

Himeko was too lazy to think about these questions. The only thought in her mind right now...

Was regret for telling Ye Ming that she was fine.

If possible, Himeko would like to borrow Ye Ming's embrace a little longer.

The next day at work, Ye Ming was busy with the new gacha banner.

If all went as planned, this Herrscher of the Void and Vermilion Knight: Eclipse would push revenue to new heights.

"Ye Ming, regarding the new characters, should we adjust their strength again?"

A-Tzu, as a strategic consultant, suggested:

"I personally think this strength is a bit too high."

"I think so too."

Nahida, who was responsible for providing healing services to Ganyu, also came over and said:

"If we release such powerful characters now, it will be troublesome to design the numerical values ​​in the future."

A-Tzu also added:

"If you want players to continue spending money, you have to release even stronger characters, which in turn requires the levels to be designed even more difficult, and the game's numerical values ​​will collapse."

The two sisters chimed in, giving Ye Ming a lesson.

"That's indeed the case. Then I'll leave this matter to you, but the strength of the new characters must be guaranteed!"

Honestly, trying to curb data inflation is indeed a difficult point. Fortunately, there are two wisdom gods, one big and one small, by his side.

Wisdom of Sumeru, please make the numerical design of Honkai Impact 3rd more reasonable!

"Ye Ming, the players can't wait."

"I know, the trailer has already been released."

——Honkai Impact 3rdVersion 1.2 Trailer, New S-Rank Characters "Herrscher of the Void" "Vermilion Knight: Eclipse"

Just a few words, accompanied by a few promotional images, and a few short trailers.

Ye Ming only tapped on the keyboard, but it caused a huge uproar on the internet.

[The Queen is coming to the gacha pool?!]

[Can the world-destroying villain also become a controllable character?]

On the forums, players had different opinions on the Herrscher of the Void entering the pool.

Most people applauded, but some felt it was a spoiler.

[Is there even a question? In the end, it must be a happy ending. This pool is already hinting at it]

[I've already guessed the plot. The Queen is redeemed, Kiana is rescued, and St. Freya Academy is lively again]

[Got it, the ending is everyone making dumplings together, right?]

Regarding the plot, there was basically no disagreement among the player base.

It was originally a bishoujo raising game, what other tricks could it play?

However, even if players found the plot cliché, it wouldn't diminish their love for the game.

It's more like everyone dared to spend money precisely because they anticipated a happy ending.

[Hey, is no one concerned about Himeko's new battlesuit?]

[I saw it! So cool and beautiful! Himeko is the best!]

New story content, new gacha banners, and new events – this is undoubtedly a feast for the players.

But one man's meat is another man's poison; Tencent next door was completely dumbfounded.

They had just created a hit game and released a stunning animation like Queen's Descent, and now this game is immediately launching a new version?

What kind of production capacity is this? Even if the planners can handle it, what about the programmers?

Are MiHoYo's programmers all bald-headed powerhouses?

"Ah... Achoo!"

On the other side, Ganyu, who had fallen asleep from working overtime late into the night, was suddenly awakened by a sneeze.

"So it was a dream? It's great that I don't have to work overtime tonight."

"It's not a dream. The new version goes live today, so everyone has to work overtime."

"Wah..."

Elysia's livestream had already reached a million viewers.

This number wasn't that high for her, but what was exaggerated was that she hadn't even started broadcasting yet!

In other words, a million viewers were watching a black screen.

Such high enthusiasm wasn't without reason, because at noon, Elysia had posted a status update:
