Joining MiHoYo, I, the Savior, Am Being Targeted by Elysia

"After joining the company, Aunt Himeko has always been the one guiding me. I can only follow behind her."

Kiana puffed out her cheeks, disgruntled, and said:

"With my skills, I could have been independent long ago! But there's just no opportunity to show it."

"If I can impress Himeko in the game, maybe she'll notice that I'm just as reliable in real life."

Kiana's calculations were so loud, they could be heard from Sumeru to Chang Kong City.

"Don't worry, there will be a time for you to shine, and it will be in front of Himeko."

As for the specifics, Ye Ming didn't want to spoil it.

"Really? That's great!"

Kiana said excitedly:

"I can't wait to drag Himeko to watch that scene! I'm really curious what her expression will be like."

6. Elysia Sect

"The first version has good completion and can basically be used for public testing."

Early the next morning, Ye Ming refined the initial version of the game, and soon achieved better results than expected.

The other-dimensional technology borrowed from the system was an understatement to call it black technology.

"It's time to build momentum for the game."

Ye Ming learned about the current state of the gaming industry: Blizzard Entertainment had withdrawn from the Dragon Country market, and Tencent took the opportunity to dominate.

However, because it was a large company bullying its customers, and often suppressed and plagiarized third-party studios, many game enthusiasts complained about Tencent.

Everyone was waiting for a hero to break the stagnant gaming circle.

"It's a stage tailor-made for me."

With this rare opportunity, Ye Ming immediately logged into Bilibili and released the first trailer for Honkai Impact 3rd.

He watched as the video views rose from Bronya's age to Mei's age.

Then from Himeko's age to Theresa's age...

And when the video views reached Fu Hua's age, the popularity broke through the critical point.

After receiving a large number of likes, favorites, and coins, the attention began to grow exponentially.

[Look at the game groups! Quick, look at the game groups!]

[Did someone post a lewd picture?]

[What lewd picture? It's more exciting than lewd pictures!]

[Brother Jie, no!]

That night, major game groups and game communities were frantically forwarding the promotional PV of Honkai Impact 3rd.

For players who had been waiting for new games, this feeling was like encountering KFC Crazy Thursday after eating vegetarian food for three months.

"Helios, this is Hyperion, report mission status."

As a woman's voice sounded, a few lines of white text appeared on the black background:

——2 years, 5 months, 16 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes, and 22 seconds since the Third Honkai outbreak.

"Report, Major, optical detection target is not visible, risk level raised to A, request confirmation."

"Close the hatch safety protection, manually open the hatch."

"Helios enters constant speed trajectory, airlock decompression complete, voltage normal."

Although there were no detailed images, the conversation in the walkie-talkie alone painted a picture of a state of war above the high heavens.

"Waiting for the Valkyrie to board!"

As the "Valkyrie" being called, Kiana in her White Comet Armor appeared in the center of the screen.

As the fierce wind blew her white twin tails, Kiana, with a confident smile, jumped out of the hatch.

Immediately afterwards, the BGM became more and more exciting, and the high-speed falling Kiana passed through the dark universe, through the clouds, and came to the twilight illuminated by the setting sun.

[Holy crap! This background change!]

[Awesome! The CG animation is at least top-notch in the industry!]

[And don't you think the picture looks very comfortable? It's a bit like anime, but extremely detailed.]

At that time, Earth did not yet have the concept of cel-shaded 3D, and the audience could not think of what word to use to describe it.

[No wonder this game video has so many views! The game groups are exploding!]

[And the characters are so cute! They look much better than the female trolls in Beast World!]

In addition to the technical prowess, what attracted the majority of players the most were the exquisite characters in the game.

Especially the ACG fans, who were already going crazy at this moment.

"My heart has been taken by Honkai, and perhaps I will never experience joy or sorrow again in this life."

"Pre-order the game and get the White Comet Valkyrie Armor."

"Yay!"

"The promotional PV has 6 million views in 24 hours?!"

The next morning, everyone in the studio almost spilled their coffee when they saw the backend data.

"Ye Ming, did you collaborate with some big Bilibili influencer for promotion?"

"No, it was just spontaneously boosted by the players."

"Is this what it feels like to be sought after by players?"

Bronya, a game enthusiast, was trembling with excitement.

"Enjoy it while it lasts; you won't feel it a few years from now."

After all, your Alahato game was a complete flop...

"Ye Ming, come look at this."

Keqing, who had been collecting player comments, pointed at the forum and said with a smile:

"The vast number of ACG fans are calling our game the 'Honkai Sect,' forming some kind of weird religious organization."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Of course!"

Keqing said excitedly:

"Before our game was born, the ACG games on the market were all card-based, and the battles were just illustrations colliding with each other."

"A 3D action game like Honkai, with smooth combat and beautiful graphics, is something that everyone couldn't even dream of."

Seeing Keqing's joyful appearance, Ye Ming couldn't help but ask:

"How do you know so much about ACG games? Could it be..."

"Ahem, don't misunderstand."

Keqing's smile instantly disappeared, and she denied it seriously, like a Sichuan opera face change:

"I'm just a market representative, and I've done some research on popular culture. I'm not interested in ACG at all."

"The figure on your desk..."

"The figure was a gift from a manufacturer we collaborated with before."

Keqing coldly stuffed the figure on the desk into her bag, and just then, Kiana came bouncing over:

"Sister Keqing, I bought the figure you wanted for you. It's a limited edition."

"N-No! I didn't ask Kiana to buy a figure. She must have made a mistake."

Keqing, her face flushed, quickly explained to Ye Ming, while Kiana tilted her head and muttered:

"Huh? Did I remember wrong? Oh well, I'll give it to Bronya then. She wants it too."

"Wuu..."

Watching her favorite figure being given away, Keqing almost cried.

"Oh, right, speaking of the nickname 'Honkai Sect'..."

Makoto came over and joined the conversation:

"Have you guys heard of the 'Elysia Sect'?"

"Elysia? Who hasn't heard of her?"

The girls' knowing answers made Ye Ming's expression a little dazed.

"Elysia...?"

Whenever this name was mentioned, he would feel a sense of dizziness, accompanied by a brief ringing in his ears, but it quickly returned to normal.

"Huh? Ye Ming, you don't know?"

Kiana exclaimed:

"She's a super popular perfect idol. As long as Elysia appears, no matter what she does, she'll attract the attention of the entire internet audience."

"That's right!"

Makoto said excitedly:

"Elysia just posted an update saying that she's also looking forward to our game and that she'll be discussing it with everyone in tonight's livestream."

"Ye Ming, did you hire Elysia for business?" Keqing asked curiously.

"No, I don't even know who that is."

Whenever the name Elysia was mentioned, Ye Ming's heartbeat would always become heavier.

"So, it seems like the livestream is about to start, right?"

It was six in the evening, past the usual quitting time, but no one seemed to be in a hurry to leave.

The girls were all sitting in front of the projector used for meetings, eagerly awaiting Elysia's appearance.

Looks like they're all huge fans of Elysia.

"Hi~~ Did you miss me?"

Accompanied by a playful and adorable voice, a girl with long pink hair was shamelessly showing off her cuteness.

"This is Elysia?"

Looking at those elven-like ears and the girl's crystal-flower-like beauty, Ye Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"I feel like... I've seen her somewhere before?"

7. You didn't fall in love at first sight with her, did you?

Ever since seeing Elysia's face and hearing her voice, Ye Ming's breathing had become increasingly rapid.

"I feel like... I've seen her somewhere before?"

Just who is this Elysia, and what happened between us...

No matter what, Ye Ming couldn't recall.

He only felt that Elysia had appeared in his dreams.

So much so that every smile and frown of hers gave Ye Ming a dreamlike feeling.
