As they had guessed, Weibo and Douyin were absolutely buzzing right now.
Several posts related to Eden were rapidly rising in popularity.
And without exception, the topics all included the three words, "Honkai Impact 3rd".
This also gave *Honkai Impact 3rd* a huge wave of traffic and heat.
...
MiHoYo studio.
"Bronya, how are the numbers looking?"
Bronya put down her game, opened the backend and checked.
The data on her computer screen caused her pupils to constrict violently.
Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, Mo Li felt something was amiss. "What's wrong, Bronya?"
"Wait a minute, Boss... I'll take another look." Bronya couldn't believe her eyes.
Were all those digits just a hallucination?
Bronya leaned down slightly, bringing her head closer to the screen and pointing with her slender, white fingers.
"Ones, tens, hundreds... thousands..."
Unfortunately, Mo Li was standing behind Bronya at that moment, holding his coffee.
Bronya was wearing a business suit, her black stockings and a tight skirt outlining her curves.
Now that she was standing in front of Mo Li in this slightly bent, slender posture...
It was simply too provocative.
Mo Li took a sip of his coffee and looked up just in time to see this scene.
He almost sprayed the coffee in his mouth out, and in his haste, choked on it.
"Cough, cough..."
At that moment, Rita happened to be passing by and, seeing Mo Li coughing incessantly, walked over curiously.
"Boss, what's..."
When she got closer, she naturally saw Bronya's posture, then looked at Mo Li's state, and seemed to understand something.
With a smile, Rita walked to Mo Li's side and patted him on the back.
Just as Mo Li recovered, Bronya's slightly emotionless voice came over.
"Boss, our game... blew up!"
Hearing this, Rita was delighted, but Mo Li seemed quite calm. "As expected."
"More than that, I'm more concerned about... did you just smile?"
Bronya rolled her eyes at Mo Li. "I'm not a robot, what's so strange about smiling?"
"It's very strange, alright? We've been together for so long, this is the first time I've seen you smile!!"
"And you don't consider that a robotic response?"
Bronya narrowed her eyes and stared at Mo Li quietly, as if saying, *You dare tease me? I'll beat you up.*
Seeing this, Rita covered her mouth and chuckled. "Don't just blame the Boss, even I rarely see Bronya smile."
Bronya: "..."
"Are your priorities off? I said our game data blew up! Our studio is on fire! Aren't you happy?"
Rita, "Of course, I'm happy, but I don't understand game data..."
"Let me take a look." Mo Li walked over to the computer.
However, when he saw the data, he was just as incredulous as Bronya.
"Ten million!! 30 million downloads!"
Rita: "???"
But before Rita could even express her surprise, Mo Li's next words shocked her even further.
"10 million players have played for more than 2 hours."
"There are 2 million players with purchase records..."
What kind of data was this?
Even some games that had been out for a year couldn't reach this number of downloads, let alone a game that had only been out for a day and had 30 million downloads...
The game that Rita and the others had made only had a few hundred thousand downloads in total.
Their daily active users only barely cracked ten thousand... Compared to Honkai Impact 3rd, this was a difference of hundreds or thousands of times.
No wonder Bronya's attitude was a little unstable, she had to go over and count it several times.
"I thought I was seeing things at first..." Even now, Bronya couldn't believe it.
She looked at Mo Li again.
"What kind of brain can come up with a game like this..."
Even Mo Li never expected such data.
At the time of the public beta, the total number of pre-registrations was only 30 million.
Now, less than ten hours later, there were already 30 million downloads?
Remember, pre-registration doesn't mean downloading.
Mo Li had calculated that the number of people downloading Honkai Impact 3rd within the first 24 hours should be around 15 million.
But less than ten hours later, the number of downloads had already surpassed the number of pre-registrations.
The number of paying players had also reached millions.
Soon, Rita shared the good news with the other girls in the studio.
Without exception, when they first heard the number of 30 million downloads, they didn't believe it.
But when they huddled together and looked at the backend data, counting ones, tens, hundreds, thousands several times, they couldn't help but jump with excitement.
Bronya, standing to the side, watched them quietly, her lips slightly curved.
It had been a long time since the studio sisters had been so happy.
However, after calming down, Bronya noticed that the girls... were standing with their butts sticking out as they looked at the data.
She then looked at Mo Li who was taking a tactical sip of water.
Bronya suddenly remembered something and her cheeks flushed slightly.
"Cough... everyone calm down, be mindful of your image..." She politely reminded them.
But the girls were still dizzy from the impact of the explosive data and were too busy excitedly discussing it to care about their image.
Bronya didn't bother reminding them anymore.
After all, they were all dressed modestly, only their postures were provocative.
Considering how well Mo Li had performed in the past half month, she would just give him a little treat.
Just as she was thinking this, Mo Li suddenly spoke.
"Girls, first check if there are any problems with the servers, then expand them."
"It's almost time to get off work, I'll treat everyone to dinner to celebrate."
To Mo Li's surprise, the girls didn't cheer, instead, they looked at each other.
This situation made Mo Li a little strange.
After a moment's thought, Mo Li jokingly said, "The game has just started making money, and you already want a bonus?"
"You're mistaken, Boss..." 芽衣 quickly interrupted Mo Li's words, her voice soft. "We usually don't go out to eat together, the stares of strangers make us uncomfortable..."
After hearing this, Mo Li finally understood.
It made sense, all the girls here were crushingly beautiful, if they walked together, the eyes of everyone nearby would be attracted to them.
"Boss, why don't you order takeout? I plan on staying in the studio tonight to keep an eye on the backend data."
Rita nodded in agreement. "姬子's suggestion is great, if the Boss wants to show his appreciation... just order us some takeout~"
Seeing that the girls had reached a consensus, Mo Li didn't hesitate, taking out his phone. "What do you want to eat?"
"I want a dish of Xiang Jing Jian Yu"
"Xiang Cai Feng Ren Ji"
"Hei Zi Zheng Xia Tou"
"Hei Zi Zheng Wu Yu"
