Mo Li was very keen on bringing both Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko, two highly popular Genshin Impact characters, to his studio.
If they were unwilling to join the studio, Mo Li would settle for a partnership with the two girls.
After all, in Genshin Impact, the images of Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka couldn't be changed.
When Mo Li extended his offer to Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko, they showed clear signs of interest.
Mo Li then asked them to spend some time with the girls in his studio, allowing them to experience the atmosphere firsthand.
He believed his studio offered a top-notch environment, the kind that would make anyone reluctant to leave.
Indeed, after spending an afternoon with the studio girls, both Ayaka and Miko clearly enjoyed the atmosphere.
However, to his surprise, the two returned to Sakura Country in a hurry the next day.
Mo Li thought they had decided against joining miHoYo Studio, but a few days later, Rita came running over, saying that Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko had submitted their resumes.
Only then did Mo Li realize that they had gone back to handle their affairs and resign...
It was funny, actually. The distributor called Mo Li and complained for a long time.
After Yae Miko and Kamisato Ayaka left, over a dozen people left their studio...
But they only complained, they didn't dare to blame Mo Li for poaching their employees.
After all, everyone wants to climb higher, and their studio wasn't very big.
They were able to discover Honkai Impact 3rd and secure the distribution rights before anyone else, thanks entirely to Kamisato Ayaka.
So, the boss didn't hold a grudge, instead asking Mo Li to take care of the two girls.
Kamisato Ayaka and Yae Miko said they liked Dragon Country, and it seemed they weren't just being polite.
It was because they often followed Dragon Country news that they were able to find miHoYo first.
And securing Honkai Impact 3rd was a guaranteed money-making deal.
Honkai Impact 3rd had been open in Sakura Country for many days now.
Sure enough, the revenue there was almost as high as in Dragon Country.
After all, it was the kingdom of anime, and Sakura Country players couldn't resist the urge to spend money on a game with such exquisite art style and plot.
Due to the immense popularity of Honkai Impact 3rd, Rita directly squeezed the distributor's profit margins to the minimum.
But they still made a fortune.
Not to mention Mo Li.
His popularity rating had already broken 200 million.
That meant he could directly redeem all the Genshin Impact versions before 3.0.
【Popularity Rating: 230 million】
【Popularity Rating Gift Pack】
At this moment, Mo Li sat in his office, quietly looking at the system interface.
When his popularity rating broke 100 million, the system rewarded him with an additional Popularity Rating Gift Pack.
Mo Li was quite excited about it.
“System sister, give me a Key of Divinity in the gift pack, or a God's Eye if it's not possible.”
The system didn't respond to Mo Li's plea.
Mo Li wasn't surprised. It was just a casual request, not something he truly expected.
“Open the Popularity Rating Gift Pack!”
【Ding~ Congratulations, Master, you have obtained…】
【Valkyrie Dormitory (Black Tech Villa)】
“Valkyrie Dormitory?”
【Ding~ Valkyrie Dormitory can be used for living or working; it has a perfect defense system and is equipped with all the necessary equipment for a complete game studio.】
After listening to the introduction, Mo Li's eyes lit up.
“This came at the perfect time!”
Ever since Kiana's appearance, people had been waiting around the studio from time to time.
Their purpose was to catch a glimpse of Kiana.
Initially, there were only a few people, but after someone managed to take a photo of Kiana leaving work, the number of people waiting grew.
Not to mention the issue of revealing their identities.
For the safety of the employees, Mo Li needed to enhance the security system of the studio.
Although this street was bustling with activity, there was no guarantee that some crazy fans wouldn't come along.
So for safety reasons, Mo Li had been worrying about this for days.
The employees had to leave work secretly, but most of the time, Mo Li had to pick them up one by one.
He, the boss, had become a driver...
Kiana was even worse.
She was blocked at the school gate...
She and Hu Tao had already taken a leave of absence.
Luckily, Bronya and the others' identities were not exposed yet, which was a small blessing.
But this wasn't a sustainable solution.
Players were only hanging around the studio door out of novelty.
So, Mo Li had been trying to persuade Kiana to do a livestream or something for days.
Once the novelty wears off, they wouldn't be so crazy anymore.
Then, they could just wear a mask when going out, and if they were recognized, they could just take a picture with the fan...
It would be a bit like a celebrity influencer.
Who would have thought that Kiana and Kiana would debut through a game...
Baidu Encyclopedia entry: Works: Honkai Impact 3rd.
The Douyin account Mo Li created for Kiana and Kiana had already gained over 5 million followers.
A Douyin account with zero works, yet with over 5 million followers...
This result left the second and third-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry speechless.
Yu Weiwei was envious, urging Penguin to speed up the update progress.
She was truly covetous of those anime fans...
Finally, Penguin completed the rendering and created the new version.
Although the graphics were still some distance from Honkai Impact 3rd, at least they weren't as atrocious.
Penguin always adopted a "good enough" approach to game development. As long as they made money, they would stop there.
Profit was the goal, why spend more money for reputation?
………
“Knock knock!”
Mo Li's office door was suddenly knocked on, and then Rita's tall and sexy figure walked in.
She smiled softly and placed a cup of coffee on Mo Li's desk.
“Boss, Penguin seems to have finished the update. They've also released a "Yu Weiwei-style" female warrior, and it's quite popular.”
Mo Li nodded. He was still thinking about the “Valkyrie Dormitory.”
“How should I explain it to the girls?”
“Forget it, I'll just use the same old excuse. They won't ask too much anyway. They'll be moving to work there in a few days.”
Thinking about this, Mo Li closed the system panel.
To be honest, if the girls really wanted to dig deeper, the fact that Mo Li created Honkai Impact 3rd alone would be enough for them to pry into.
Compared to the game, a sudden appearance of a black tech villa would be easier to understand.
Is there anything wrong with being a rich second generation?
“By the way, I remember… Honkai Impact 3rd should be updating to Chapter 14's plot, right?”
Rita chuckled and nodded. “Yes, Eden told me yesterday that she plans to announce her new album today, releasing the advance single “Celestial Meteor” and promoting our game's new version at the same time.”
After listening to Rita, Mo Li's expression became strange.
Even Rita couldn't help but laugh.
Penguin really… always collided with him…
It seemed that the popularity of the new version of "Girls' Quest" would be overshadowed by Eden again...
