Could it be... that Gan Yu is really going to be chosen?!
You should know... initially, the players were just voting for Gan Yu out of a playful attitude.
Who would have thought that Gan Yu's votes would far surpass those of the second-place candidate?!
A character from a 2D game... could he really become a main character at the Olympics?!
This phenomenon naturally sparked a lot of discussion online.
The discussion concluded that most people felt Gan Yu would ultimately be eliminated.
After all, this is the Olympics.
It concerns the face of a country.
For a great nation like ours to choose a virtual character from a two-dimensional game as its mascot... doesn't that seem a bit petty?
Gan Yu's selection has excited many netizens, but also raised some concerns.
Judging from the discussions among netizens, it's clear that when it comes to serious matters, these "silly netizens" are actually quite rational.
However, as the discussion grew louder, the news naturally spread to foreign websites.
And then... this also plunged countless Genshin Impact players overseas into... ecstasy!?
Yes, it was ecstasy.
However, many netizens from China soon pointed out that the country would not allow netizens to make a fuss when it came to important matters, and that "Qilin Ganyu" would likely be removed from the list.
After seeing these answers from Chinese netizens, many overseas Genshin Impact fans began to lament.
Foreign netizens have a very open mind regarding 3.5.
Therefore, they not only did not find it inappropriate for "Qilin Ganyu" to become the Olympic mascot, but on the contrary, they felt it was very suitable and were full of anticipation.
Especially in Japan, where people have an immense love for anime and manga culture.
After receiving the news, they even organized themselves and left a joint message on the voting website, hoping that the Olympic Committee would "redeem" Gan Yu as the Olympic mascot.
that's it.
With countless players from home and abroad speaking out.
The popularity of selecting Olympic mascots is also rising.
This was originally a matter within the Dragon Kingdom itself, but it has become common knowledge.
However, at the same time, it also greatly increased the popularity of the Dragon Kingdom, which is about to host the Olympic Games.
This is truly an unexpected delight.
.......
Chapter 603 Mihoyo is winning big...
Online, Gan Yu has become the absolute protagonist.
Mihoyo is the second main character.
This phenomenon has also aroused immense envy among those games.
They even wondered if their own game characters might make it onto the leaderboard and get some exposure.
Looking back, I realize... all my own games are filled with Western elements, damn it!
In the end, they could only watch with envy.
Even though Gan Yu was not ultimately selected, the buzz surrounding her during that period still brought MiHoYo immense fame.
"Otto the Dog is really cunning, damn it!" This is what countless game developers are thinking.
Damn it... even during an Olympic mascot election, this dog Otto managed to squeeze in and ride the wave of popularity.
What these people didn't expect was that this wasn't the result of "seizing an opportunity," but rather the result of cooperation with the state.
……
The voting period lasted for a week.
As time went on, the lead of [Qilin Ganyu] over the second place grew larger and larger.
By 6 p.m. on the seventh day, the number of votes had surpassed the second place by a full 1 million.
Then came the exciting time... to announce the results.
Now, netizens are even more incredulous.
They had a feeling... a feeling that [Qilin Ganyu] was really going to become the Olympic mascot.
After all, there are only 2 hours left since the announcement of the 26 companies.
If the official team thought the "Qilin Rain" was inappropriate, they would have removed it long ago, instead of leaving it until now.
Therefore, countless people on the internet today appear extremely nervous.
Even if you already have the answer in your heart, you still can't believe it until the results are announced.
[Oh my god... Could it be that Qilin Ganyu is really going to be chosen...?]
It's almost certain... but I'm still very anxious.
miHoYo really made a name for itself this time.
Mihoyo has really made something of itself!
[I can already imagine the Olympics being filled with the auspicious rain of Qilin (excited)]
[I thought it was just netizens making a joke, but it turns out it was what everyone wanted!] (crying)
[This time, there shouldn't be any surprises about the 5-star selection, right? (evil grin)]
[This time, Gan Yu should have a new skin, right? (Excited)]
[Gan Yu's Chef is Amazing!]
[MiHoYo: I never expected this... I just wanted to show my face, but netizens have elevated me to the top.]
[It's not that we can't afford the figurines, but participating in the Olympic mascot selection is more cost-effective. Give miHoYo a chance to shine, and miHoYo will deliver a well-deserved result. Who would have thought that anime characters could participate in such a grand event... Even the famous American five-star critic MacArthur commented: "I was thrilled to hear this news, but my wallet is sinking..." The large-scale documentary "The Legend of Sweet Rain" continues to air.]
……
The online discussion among netizens was incredibly heated.
Time also slowly passed.
Countless people are paying attention to the changes on the voting website.
It wasn't until 7:50 that time came.
【Qilin Ganyu】remains at the top of the list.
Although they already had the answer in their hearts, this only made netizens more uneasy.
In a live stream on Douyin, Su Qian was also streaming, and the screen displayed the voting website page.
"I've most likely been selected, but... I still can't believe it..."
"Mihoyo has really won big this time!"
As Su Qian watched the comments, she muttered to herself, occasionally refreshing the website page.
"But it makes sense, really. You can tell from the positive comments from major official media outlets that miHoYo is really favored by the Chinese government."
"Among private enterprises, miHoYo is truly in a class of its own."
"And miHoYo's games have indeed greatly promoted the popularization of national culture."
"It can be said that it's a two-way journey."
"So... huh?!!"
Just as Su Qian was speaking, the voting page suddenly changed.
The works of the major artists who were ranked in the previous life have all disappeared.
Only one enormous image of a Qilin (a mythical creature) and its associated rain was displayed in the center.
no.01

【The auspicious beast Qilin – Gan Yu】
A gentle breeze caresses the forest, and sweet rain nourishes all things.
