Chapter 33: The Pinnacle Creates Insincere Support
【Wuwuwu… Finally someone said what’s on my mind. It’s such a good plot, why is it being condemned by the entire internet?】
【Eden’s explanation is so clear. Emotion is above plot, and feelings are above emotion. Only a story that can stir the audience's emotions can be considered a good story. 】
【Looking at the current situation, Honkai Impact 3rd can definitely be considered a good story, but it’s being met with such malice because of a single character’s death…】
【A good story can pierce through the heart and resonate with countless audiences. Honkai Impact 3rd very easily created a strong sense of immersion, drawing me in,
and when I saw Kiana’s death, I was also furious. But I have to admit, it’s a story worth remembering. 】
【The two above, can you do whatever you want just because you have more likes? Honkai Impact 3rd is just a game!!】
【As Eden said, true Kiana fans would only feel regret, but I still want to say…MiHoYo! You have no heart, wuwuwu… My Kiana…】
【Rest well, Kiana… I hope when you open your eyes next time, you'll see nothing but light.】
【When darkness engulfed MiHoYo, Eden, like Kiana, turned into light, illuminating the entire MiHoYo… I hereby declare that Eden is the leader of Kiana fans!】
【Is Eden going to cooperate with MiHoYo? Double-fan ecstasy!!】

“Boss, Boss!!” Youlan Daier rushed into Mo Li’s office, holding a laptop.
“What’s up?” Mo Li closed the system panel and looked at Youlan Daier curiously.
Youlan Daier didn't answer, she just pushed the laptop to Mo Li: “Boss, look at Weibo!”
“I told you, don’t pay attention to what’s on the internet. Our studio is very hidden, players won’t find it.”
Youlan Daier: “……”
“No, it's that Eden is speaking up for us. From last night to now, Eden has continuously posted three Weibo posts, and now the reputation of Honkai Impact 3rd is rapidly warming up!”
“Is there such a good thing?” Mo Li quickly took over the laptop and began browsing.
At this time, the other girls in the studio also gathered around.
“Boss, should we respond to Eden?”
Bronya stroked her chin, contemplating slightly: “After all, the other party is a top-tier influencer. It’s quite disrespectful if we don’t respond…”
Mo Li nodded as he looked at the information: “We should respond. I'll reply from the official account later.”
After finishing reading the information on Weibo, Mo Li looked at Kiana with a strange expression.
“Boss… You’re looking at me like that… I feel a little embarrassed, you know~”
Mo Li rolled her eyes at Kiana, then teased: “Unexpectedly, Kiana-san has actually gained a big star fan…”
“Tsk tsk… A full 90 million fans! The youngest queen! Also a rich beauty!”
Kiana also lightly pulled her hair, feigning humility: “She likes the Kiana in the game, not me.”
“It’s practically the same. Your personality is exactly the same as the Kiana in the game,” Mo Li scrutinized Kiana from top to bottom, then continued:
“How about it? Want to sacrifice your looks and go cooperate with Eden once? Maybe our game can soar even higher!”
“Cut it out~ Go yourself if you want to!”
“Alright~ I’ll go, I’ll go.” Saying that, Mo Li began to edit a message on his computer.
Seeing this, the girls were a little surprised.
Mo Li wouldn’t really be thinking of relying on his handsome face to seduce the wealthy Eden, would he?
When they turned their attention to the computer screen, they found that Mo Li was just sending Eden a private message.
It clearly listed the address of the studio and contact information.
Seeing this, Bronya subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
“Hmm? Why am I breathing a sigh of relief…”
………
The discussion about Honkai Impact 3rd on the internet was becoming increasingly heated, which also caused the game’s download volume to surge again.
Zhang Ming and his friends in the gaming group were also hotly discussing it.
“It’s still the game I love. I’m crying, even Eden likes it so much…”
“MiHoYo ultimately didn’t compromise, but Eden’s right, this game being able to make us so angry is a testament to its excellence.”
“While you guys are still chatting and joking in the group, I’ve already graduated Kiana. 【Picture】”
“My god!! You’re so rich! Directly 3S!”
“Big bro, remember me!”
“I graduated the Queen with a single S, but after seeing Eden’s Weibo post, I’m going to make a few more purchases to graduate Kiana as well.”
“Kiana… wuwuwu…”
…
Looking at the friends’ comments, Zhang Ming felt quite relieved.
For the entire day yesterday, the group was in a frenzy because of the video of “The Last Lesson.”
There was even a trend of wanting to fight.
Fortunately, the group leader timely silenced everyone.
Until Eden’s Weibo post came out the next day, the friends who were cursing MiHoYo finally calmed down.
They probably realized their mistake and sent red envelopes one after another to apologize.
The other group of people didn’t hold on to it either. They quickly forgot about yesterday’s events while chatting and joking.
Now the atmosphere in the group had returned to its previous state.
He had joined this group for many years, and the relationships in the group had always been very good.
He never expected that Honkai Impact 3rd’s short video would almost break them up.
Just then, the group leader suddenly sent a link over.
“Look what I found!! Tencent is releasing a new game! It’s also a competitor to Honkai Impact 3rd!【Web Link】”
“？？？Tencent is doing this kind of disgusting operation again?”
“I finished reading it. It really is quite similar to Honkai Impact 3rd… “Girl’s Odyssey”, launching in two days!!”
“This is freaking… It’s too similar to Honkai Impact 3rd! Even the UI layout is exactly the same!”
“I’m afraid Tencent directly took the code from Honkai Impact 3rd… They’ve done this kind of operation before…”
“Hopefully MiHoYo can hold on… That damn Tencent!”
…
The popularity of Tencent’s new game was also rapidly climbing.
In the promotional video revealed, the similarity between “Girl’s Odyssey” and “Honkai Impact 3rd” was as high as 70 percent.
It was as if they were deliberately telling players: “Honkai Impact 3rd is dead, but we will never die! You guys can play with peace of mind, don’t bother with MiHoYo anymore.”
This kind of operation is completely shameless.
Maybe before Zhao Yi’s game flopped, Tencent might have been more restrained and explained themselves.
But after Zhao Yi’s failure, Tencent completely abandoned originality.
There are popular games abroad, they directly 代理 (代理: to act as an agent; to represent).
There are popular games domestically, they directly acquire them, then crazily squeeze the game’s potential, sucking the players’ blood dry within two years.
As for those they can’t acquire, they suppress them and plagiarize them.
