Joining MiHoYo, the Savior Me is Targeted by Elysia

I'd like to see who dares question my original intention for making games after this.

"Ye Ming, are you behind me?"

"Huh? You noticed?"

Ye Ming originally wanted to gently stroke Kiana's white hair, just like before, but after being discovered by Kiana, he had to pull his hand back.

"Our game is being flamed all over the internet, aren't you going to do anything about it?"

Kiana compiled screenshots and sent them to Ye Ming. She had actually summarized and categorized all the insults and negative reviews.

"I understand."

Seeing Kiana's summary report, Ye Ming immediately understood what she was thinking.

"You're dissatisfied with the plot, aren't you?"

"I'm not dissatisfied, these, these are just the players' opinions."

All the major game forums, anime forums, and general entertainment forums, basically anywhere that could be related to Honkai, were filled with complaints.

"Give me back Himeko," "I'm quitting the game because Himeko died," "Let's team up and raid the studio." Besides these relatively civil comments, there were also a lot of swear words.

The grief and anger of millions of netizens could be felt through the screen. The more seriously they played the game, the sadder they became.

According to the report summarized by Kiana, many people couldn't sleep for nights on end, and every time they closed their eyes, they saw "Survive, Kiana."

19. Ye Ming's Identity Can't Be Hidden Anymore

"Then what about our revenue?"

"Well... it's okay."

"Just okay?"

"Okay, it's already a number I can't understand."

"Then that's all that matters."

Ye Ming stretched and said easily:

"Players are like that, they flame while spending money, all talk and no action."

Of course, the premise is that the game quality is hard enough, or that it's all thanks to the contrast provided by other companies, leaving players with no choice.

Currently, Ye Ming's Honkai Impact 3rd has both of these conditions.

"You! You're really not planning to change it!"

Kiana seemed even more anxious than the players.

"I'm happy that it can touch so many people's hearts, why would I want to change it?"

"Then, then..."

Kiana wasn't angry, but instead showed a rare sign of softening. She asked in a pleading tone:

"Can you give me a spoiler? Will Himeko... come back?"

"..."

Seeing Kiana's shoulders trembling uncontrollably, Ye Ming's eyes also softened.

He put his hand on Kiana's head, stroking her long hair as he said:

"Trust me, Kiana, everything will be alright."

"Huh?"

At the moment Ye Ming touched her, a flash of past light suddenly appeared in Kiana's misty eyes.

She seemed to remember something, and the more she savored Ye Ming's comfort, the clearer the images in her mind became.

Kiana could feel that the memories about to take shape were far more than just one.

"Trust me," "Everything will be alright," "Kiana," "Trust me."

Ye Ming's voice echoed in Kiana's mind again and again, and each time it was slightly different, as if it came from different timelines.

"Woo... woo..."

But for some reason, the warmer and more familiar Ye Ming's comfort was, the more Kiana's heart wavered.

It was as if she could endure all the grievances she suffered outside, but when she returned home and faced her family, she couldn't help but want to cry.

"Ye Ming, I... feel very strange..."

The relaxing sense of security shattered Kiana's strong defenses. She no longer wanted to hide anything, and said with tears in her eyes:

"Ever since I saw the new main storyline, I've been a little unable to distinguish between virtuality and reality."

"Last night, I dreamed about Himeko several times, each time with the same story and the same ending."

"It's the same when I fall asleep again after waking up crying. It's as if the separation from Himeko in my dreams is the reality, and being able to work with Himeko, to joke around together, is the dream."

"..."

Sure enough, the reason for Kiana's sadness wasn't as simple as the game. Just like the déjà vu with Himeko, she had also sensed something.

"It's not a dream."

Just as Ye Ming was at a loss for how to comfort her, Himeko embraced Kiana from behind, saying with a smile, "Ye Ming told me that this is reality. No matter how sad the stories in the game are, our daily lives in reality will continue."

"Himeko-nee..."

Touched in her heart's softest spot, Kiana abandoned her stubbornness and threw herself into Himeko's arms.

"I'm sorry... everything before was my fault."

"Hehe, you're always like that. I'm used to it."

The two embraced tightly, and the other girls in the studio gathered around quietly to watch.

"Dummy Kiana."

Bronya clutched the Houm plushie in her arms tightly, her eyes full of envy as she looked at Kiana.

Noticing this, Ye Ming whispered in Bronya's ear to ease her loneliness, "Don't forget the bet."

"Ugh..."

Recalling the promise that she would date Ye Ming once her figure developed, Bronya's cheeks were also tinged with the color of sunset.

However, Ye Ming was just trying to adjust Bronya's mood and wasn't too hung up on the matter.

"Ye Ming, really, it's such a touching atmosphere, and you just have to bring up something like that?"

"Speaking of which, Ye Ming, you're really strong."

"Yeah, making such a sad story and acting like nothing happened."

Hearing the girls' comments, Ye Ming smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm not strong at all, maybe even more fragile than everyone here."

"It's just that I've cried too many times, and all the tears have dried up."

Only the system could understand the deeper meaning of Ye Ming's monologue.

However, Ye Ming didn't know at that time that the girls in front of him would soon understand.

"Ye Ming! Something's happened to our game!"

Keqing, who had just returned from running the market, exclaimed excitedly, "This is international news!"

"That exaggerated? Did it go viral again?"

"Small-minded! A mere internet search is not enough to compare with this."

Keqing took a sip of tea and continued, "Griselda! Griselda is painting for The Last Lesson! She finished a painting in just two days! And she said she's going to paint another one, or she won't be able to calm down!"

Nahida, who had almost become the studio's mascot, explained for the tired Keqing, "Griselda is a world-renowned painter. If she can paint for us, it would indeed be a world-class promotional breakthrough."

"Let me search."

Ye Ming had just opened the homepage when he saw the news Keqing had just mentioned. Clicking on it, Griselda's paintings were indeed stunning.

The erudite A-Tzu also exclaimed, "This painting wouldn't be out of place in the Louvre."

"In addition to the original user base, this has also attracted the art world at home and abroad. Now players all over the world are paying attention to our game."

As Keqing said, Honkai Impact 3rd had become a phenomenal game, although many of them were just cloud players who wanted to watch the animation and experience the story...

But their joining also indirectly provided popularity for the game.

"I was wondering why there were so many fan works these days~~"

Makoto said with a smile, "There's also a novel website called Yae Publishing House that's holding a Honkai fan fiction contest."

"Are there any interesting fan fictions?" Ganyu asked, holding Nahida.

"There seems to be a video that's quite popular, but I haven't watched it. It's said that the production level is on par with ours."

"That's impossible."

Ye Ming retorted, "How could a grassroots organization make a short film on the same level as us?"

Ye Ming wasn't blindly confident. The entertainment industry in this world was backward, and the related technology was lacking.

The black technology for making Honkai Impact 3rd was all borrowed from the system. It was unparalleled in the world.

"I don't know about that. It's said that in just one day, the number of views is almost catching up with our The Last Lesson."

"What?!"

Ye Ming quickly opened Bilibili and asked Makoto, "What's the name?"

"Let me see... it's called 'The Truth of The Last Lesson.'"

Ye Ming had just typed in "The Last Lesson," and the associated menu immediately popped up with "The Truth of The Last Lesson."

He checked, and the official short film of The Last Lesson currently had 12 million views, but this fan-made video actually had 9 million views!

"Is that even possible?"

Ye Ming opened the video with curiosity, but when he saw the first shot, his bloodshot eyes were filled with shock.

20. Ye Ming, the protagonist of a fanfic?

"How... is this possible?!"

The video had only been playing for a few seconds, showing only a little sound and a few empty shots.

But Ye Ming immediately knew the entire content of the video.

He was too familiar with this story, familiar with it to the point of heartbreak.

"Is this that really popular fan-made video?"

The girls' voices made Ye Ming realize that he was still in the studio, and in a panic, he quickly closed the video website.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop watching?"
