Joining MiHoYo, I, the Savior, Was Targeted by Elysia

According to the current revenue situation, Honkai Impact 3rd's target revenue is 3 billion a year, and Genshin Impact's future revenue target is 7 billion a year.

Of course, if it were a normal company, there wouldn't be much left in its own hands, after all, the cost is huge.

But Ye Ming's games are all made with black technology borrowed from the system, and the girls give their all in their performances.

After saving the bulk of the money, no matter how the other scraps are spent, a lot will be left in the end.

Considering that the commercial layout is not yet complete, and his future goals...

"If you double it, please give me an annual salary of 8 billion, thank you."

"?????"

Hearing this number, the lady's fair skin suddenly bulged with blue veins.

"So, you're not planning to talk to me at all?"

"Huh? I'm talking to you, aren't I?"

"Enough! You dare to spout such wild words after achieving a little success, just you wait!"

After hanging up the phone, the lady threw the phone aside and walked angrily to the large office, the huge treasure chests in front of her chest swaying up and down with anger.

"Hand over the first public beta version of the game by the end of the month!"

"What about the... the technology?"

"Don't worry about it! Just max out the graphics as a gimmick, as for the character models..."

The lady is an old hand in the industry after all, and quickly came up with a solution:

"Use a distant overhead view, and then lock the view, as long as you can't zoom in, it won't be exposed."

"If you want to see what the character you drew looks like, just enter the character interface, and use exquisite illustrations instead."

"As long as the waifu is pretty, the otaku will buy it."

Tencent's Honkai Impact 3rd competitor wasn't just starting to be made, but had already been made a lot, but was suspended due to technical problems.

So when the lady found a way to solve this trouble, the progress that had fallen behind was quickly caught up.

That night, Tencent released the game PV trailer "Chronicles of the Last Age Girl."

"Ye Ming! Something bad happened!"

Early the next morning, A-Tzu ran to Ye Ming's side, holding the news on her phone and said:

"Tencent has launched a competing product, and it will be in public beta at the end of the month, the PV has already been exposed."

"Oh, I watched it last night, it's pretty good."

The promotional PV uses 2D animation, the picture is exquisite, the frame rate is high, the camera movement is also good, and the sensory experience is indeed good.

After all, the above doesn't require any special technology, but requires... burning money.

"I can see the ability of the person in charge from this animation PV, they are indeed a leader of this era."

Ye Ming also glanced at the staff list at the end of the animation, the general person in charge is called Rosalind.

He always felt like he had seen this name somewhere, but he forgot it because it wasn't very important.

"Although I know that learning to appreciate the advantages of your opponent is a necessary ability for the wise..."

A-Tzu knew Ye Ming's magnanimity very well, but she was still a little worried.

"But now the public opinion is one-sided, and a large number of players are lining up for Tencent's new game."

"A large number of players? Including our players?"

"That's the most troublesome thing..."

A-Tzu frowned and said:

"Our hardcore players have gone to cheer for the competing product, and they are still saying that whether the rewards for this event are good or not depends on the strength of the competing product."

54. Stand on the same front as the players

"These traitors..."

Hearing that the players of his own game had gone to cheer for the competing product, Ye Ming was both angry and amused.

They are obviously not really cheering for the competing product, but to put pressure on Honkai's operator.

Regardless of whether the competing product is good or bad, as long as MiHoYo feels the pressure, the operator will naturally distribute more benefits in order to retain players.

"So the players have abandoned us?"

"Haha, don't think of the players as too simple, A-Tzu, they are playing tricks on us."

Having been a player himself, Ye Ming understood this approach too well.

"However, this reminds me."

If the game is just a game, the day it becomes boring, players will naturally abandon it and forget it.

It's rare to be able to tell everyone the story of Honkai, it would be a pity to just treat it as a game.

"From today onward, besides game operation and development, we also need to enhance the players' sense of belonging."

"Sense of belonging? How should we do that?"

"Most importantly, form a game culture circle."

Ye Ming said confidently:

"Griseo's willingness to create art for us is a perfect start. Next, we will also enter the music industry."

"The animated shorts for each main storyline chapter must be the best. We can even release our own anime series."

"……"

A-Tzu was stunned by these words. With her wisdom, she could understand the logic behind them.

The reason for her daze was that she never expected that her studio, which used to rely solely on love and friendship, was about to be transformed by Ye Ming into a giant of the cultural and entertainment industry.

This feeling was like Liu Bei hearing Zhuge Liang's Longzhong Plan for the first time.

"By the way, in the future, I'll make the game's story even 'sweeter.' We'll uniformly promote it as a lighthearted slice-of-life story about cute girls getting together."

"Why?"

A-Tzu looked at Himeko and said somewhat guiltily:

"T-That's lying, isn't it?"

Ye Ming really wanted to retort that she didn't need to look at Himeko, as her own blade wasn't any less sharp.

But considering it wasn't time for spoilers yet, he patiently explained:

"What's a person's first reaction after being tricked by our advertising?"

"To curse us?"

"It's to trick someone else."

Ye Ming said with a smile:

"The moment people are lured in and then emotionally devastated, the players who tricked them are already standing on the same side as us."

"When this trend becomes popular, it will not only increase our player base but also maximize the players' sense of belonging."

The kind and gentle A-Tzu didn't know that the internet had such a trend. She said worriedly:

"It feels… like we're man-eating tigers, and the players who help us lure new people into the pit are tiger spirits…"

"Haha, that's a great analogy. In the future, players shouldn't call themselves Captains anymore; they can just call themselves Tiger Spirits."

"No, wait, I almost got sidetracked by you…"

A-Tzu shook her head and said:

"We're just talking about future things. The problem with the competitor hasn't been completely resolved yet, has it?"

"There's no need to resolve it?"

Ye Ming pointed to the date below the PV and said:

"Chronicles of the Last Age Girl will be in open beta at the end of the month, and the end of the month is exactly when we're launching our new version."

"Are you very confident in the new version?"

"It's not that I'm confident in the new version."

Perhaps recalling some past events, Ye Ming said with a gratified smile:

"I'm confident in Kiana."

After saying that, Ye Ming walked out of the office and said to everyone present:

"New version launch countdown, meeting!"

After arriving at the conference room, before Ye Ming could assign tasks, Durandal suggested:

"Now that we have a competitor, we should work even harder."

"No matter what task you assign, Ye Ming, I will complete it."

"Whether it's overtime or living at the company, the tasks must be thoroughly completed."

Durandal was expressionless, as if she were stating some obvious truths.

Meanwhile, Ganyu next to her was looking at her with a pale face, trembling all over, with tears already welling up in her eyes.

"Stop talking, Durandal."

"D-Durandal?"

The serious Durandal finally showed an expression other than seriousness.

"Internal competition is prohibited in this studio. If you do this again, I'll make a game called Goose Goose Duck and turn you into the big white goose in it."

"Woo…"

After being criticized, Durandal began to seriously reflect on what she had done wrong, while Rita next to her covered her mouth and laughed non-stop.

"Just keep the work progress normal."

Saying this, Ye Ming looked at Kiana again, and then asked:

"You said before that you wanted to stand on your own. This time, I want to see how much you've grown."

"I understand! Leave it to me!"

Kiana's tone wasn't as confident as before, but instead had a bit more determination to overcome difficulties.

"Is it my imagination?"

Ye Ming rubbed his eyes, muttering to himself.

Just now, I seemed to see a golden light flash in Kiana's eyes?

Can blue eyes emit golden light?

"Waaah... Himeko... she actually had a story like that..."

On the other side, in the small villa rented by the Elysian Realm employees, Eden was holding her phone and wiping away tears.

"Now you understand, right? Griseo wasn't crying because of me at all. It's all that little idiot's fault."

Elysia explained, while handing Eden a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

"That little idiot?"

"It's the game producer."

Elysia said with a helpless look:

"I have absolutely no idea how he's going to write the story next."

"Waaah... I... I want to call Himeko..."
