Chapter 21
Healthy and Sunny, Positive and Upward

Honkai Impact 3rd has been in open beta for three days.

In just three days, the pure profit has reached 10 million!

But of this 10 million, 80% was earned on the day of the open beta.

Clearly, this is due to Eden's influence.

Without Eden's hype, the profit in the following two days began to plummet.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of Eden... Just playing for an afternoon, and it brought such a huge revenue to the game..."

"Seems like we need to contact them as soon as possible."

Collaboration is definitely necessary, after all, the subsequent Thirteen Flame-Chasers need Eden's participation.

If it were ordinary people, it would be fine to use coincidence as an excuse.

But for public figures like Eden and Elysia, the word "coincidence" wouldn't work at all.

Mo Li isn't worried that they won't agree.

After all, they're musicians... Just tempt them with music!

If they still refuse, Mo Li can only replace one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers.

But Mo Li will still try his best to get them, after all, if it's a different character, then Honkai Impact 3rd won't be perfect.

"Boss, it's already 2 pm, can we release the promotional announcement for the Void Archon's gacha pool?"

Mo Li just looked up, and what met his eyes were two mounds of fullness...

"Cough... Since it's time, then upload it to Bilibili and Douyin simultaneously."

"From now on, for things that have already been decided, you don't need to ask my opinion..."

"Hehe~ But I want to spend more time with the boss, you see~" Rita, dressed in OL attire, was elegant and sexy, her smile was alluring, and coupled with her "teasing" tone, it was simply unbearable.

"Rita... How did you learn this from Kiana? Too much idle talk, and it can become a habit..."

"Huh? Boss, are you worried that I'll go and talk to other men?" Rita twirled a lock of hair by her ear, feigning shyness: "Don't worry, Rita will only talk to the boss, oh~"

Mo Li didn't believe Rita's words at all, he rolled his eyes at her, and said in a bad mood: "Alright, alright, I know you're eager to get the money to take care of your Saving Girls."

"But I've invested all my money in Honkai Impact 3rd, I don't have much money now, and although Honkai Impact 3rd has earned over 10 million, the settlement isn't done yet."

"How could we be the kind of people who are blinded by money~ Boss, you have such a big misunderstanding of us..."

Unlike before, when Rita said this, her expression looked incredibly serious.

For a moment, Mo Li couldn't tell if her words were true or not.

He always thought he understood the girls in the studio very well, but at this moment, he suddenly began to question himself.

Seeing Mo Li fall silent, Rita chuckled lightly: "Alright, boss, I'm just teasing you this time."

"This is the coffee I made for you, I'll go back to work now."

After saying that, Rita left Mo Li's office, her high heels clicking against the floor.

Watching the girl leave, Mo Li seemed to understand something.

"Right, this isn't a game world, there are no Honkai, no Schicksal... The girls might have some personality differences, and that's perhaps the most reasonable thing..."

He shook his head: "I should go see how Kiana's voice recording is going."

"This chapter... is quite a tearjerker..."

...

When Mo Li arrived at the voice recording room, he found the girls all gathered around.

And in the middle was Kiana, her eyes red.

"Kiana, what's wrong? Did the boss bully you?" Bronya crossed her arms, her expression extremely serious.

Although Mo Li had been very polite during their half a month of interaction, which made Bronya less wary of him.

But if Mo Li had really bullied the girls in the studio, Bronya wouldn't let him off the hook.

Rita shook her head: "Probably not... I just went to see the boss, he seems to be checking the game data..."

"So, who made Kiana cry?"

Everyone looked at Kiana, hoping she would quickly expose the culprit.

...

But Kiana was still immersed in her sadness, her nose twitching, she couldn't speak at all, and she was also a little embarrassed to speak...

After all... Crying because of the game's plot... It was a little too embarrassing.

At this time, Mo Li finally walked over, looking at the girls sitting in a circle, he asked curiously: "What are you all gathered around for?"

Seeing Mo Li come over, Rita took the initiative to make way for him.

Looking through the gap, Mo Li saw Kiana with red eyes, and she was staring at him with a pitiful expression, no longer the mature personality she used to have, but rather she seemed a bit cute.

Mo Li: "..."

He was silent for a while, then asked hesitantly: "Kiana, is this... because you cried while watching the plot during voice recording?"

The girls: "???"

Kiana: "..."

Hearing Mo Li mention the plot again, Kiana felt like she remembered something sad, she bit her lip pitifully, tears quickly gathering in her eyes.

She was trying her best to stop the tears from flowing out, but the more she tried to stop them, the more they refused to be contained.

"Wuu~"

Then... she accidentally let out a sob.

Seeing Kiana so sad, the girls quickly comforted her, their faces filled with concern.

The girls really cared about each other.

"Alright, alright, don't cry anymore, okay? Anything, we can all help you."

Seeing Kiana still not revealing the truth, Rita turned to Mo Li:

"Boss, do you know what the reason is?"

Mo Li didn't hide anything: "The Void Archon is about to be released, I plan to release it together with the Chapter 9 storyline."

"Hmm... Chapter 9 is basically all Kiana's story, so it's normal that you don't know... Maybe the plot is a bit touching, and it made Kiana cry."

Mo Li didn't explain, but the girls were even more confused.

Could watching a script make someone cry?

Feeling her sisters' gazes, Kiana felt like she was losing face.

But this actually helped her to get out of the plot.

"Boss, you like this... will make me... very embarrassed, after all... I'm the... oldest sister here, okay?"

Mo Li smiled: "As the oldest sister, your tolerance is so low?"

"You have the nerve to say that..." Kiana rolled her eyes at Mo Li: "Do you have some kind of trauma? How could you write this kind of plot? I remember you said before that Honkai Impact 3rd is... healthy, positive, and uplifting?"

"You call this healthy and uplifting?"
