"As long as Honkai Impact 3rd retains its original vision, it will always be the game that players cherish most."
"Besides... even if Honkai Impact 3rd didn't use a free-to-play model, who knows when someone else might release one?"
"So... boss, you don't need to worry at all. On the contrary, the high quality of Honkai Impact 3rd has set a benchmark for the gaming industry and a direction for progress~"
Mo Li: "..."
That makes sense... The games in this world are just evolving, and those game designers aren't idiots.
Once a game reaches a certain stage of development, pay-to-win games will inevitably emerge sooner or later.
What we need to do is to leverage the players' popularity while remaining the players' ideal game studio forever.
That sounds... kind of amazing.
Thinking about it this way, the passion I had when I first started making games immediately returned.
As for whether or not there will be a loss...
With a system in place, how could he possibly lose money?
"Well said, Miss Fairy~"
After being praised by Mo Li, Alicia smiled with her eyes narrowed.
"By the way, what did Ellie want to see me about this time?"
"Hmm..." Alicia tapped her chin, seemingly pondering how to answer.
Then she smiled playfully and said, "I missed you~"
Mo Li raised an eyebrow: "You little vixen, you've stopped teasing Mei and are now teasing me."
"Could it be... that Mei has already lost her appeal to you?"
"Oh dear~ This is a huge misunderstanding~" Alicia looked a bit troubled:
"Really..."
"You clearly knew so much about Ellie in the game, describing her as so perfect," Ellie suddenly looked at Mo Li with a questioning gaze.
"Or... are you avoiding my feelings?"
Chapter 312 Sometimes
Mo Li didn't quite understand what he was saying for a moment.
What does this have to do with games?
Just as Mo Li was pondering, Alicia laughed again.
"Looks like the boss doesn't fully understand Alicia yet~"
"Stop!" Upon hearing Ai Li's words, Mo Li immediately became unconvinced.
If you had said something else, I probably wouldn't have argued with you.
"But as the head of the Aimen, you actually say I don't understand you enough? Well, I'll have to have a serious talk with you about that."
As he spoke, Mo Li sat up straight and began to "educate" Alicia.
"As the Herrscher of Humanity, Alicia loves all humans..."
Mo Li meticulously described all of Alicia's strengths one by one.
Alicia listened with a smile on her face.
After all... anyone would be happy to be praised like that to their face.
Mo Li was stunned by her incredibly radiant smile before he suddenly realized what was happening.
Mo Li: "..."
Goodness, only Alicia could wear such a bright smile while listening to someone praise her face-to-face...
The key point is that she would occasionally chime in with a few words of agreement...
It's as if they're saying, "That's a great compliment, please increase the pressure by '667' degrees."
Seeing that Mo Li had stopped his sweet talk, Alicia was even a little unsatisfied: "Is there anything else?"
Mo Li: "..."
"Stop talking, or you'll float up to the sky..."
"Pfft..." Alicia burst out laughing.
Such a close distance, coupled with that genuine smile.
At this moment, she truly resembled a goddess sent by the stars and moon, so beautiful that even the blazing sun seemed to dim and the moonlight seemed to slant.
She tilted her head, her eyes seemingly sparkling with expectation: "Then... do you like Alicia?"
Without a second thought, Mo Li said with utmost seriousness, "There are two types of people in the world..."
"One type is those who don't know Alicia, and the other type is those who like Alicia!"
"Mmm~" Alicia's smile deepened.
"You're praising me... oh no..."
"You're right about everything, but there's one thing you're not quite right about~"
"After all, you're talking about the 'me' in the game... but that's not the real me~"
"I am neither the daughter sent by the stars and moon, nor a human's Herrscher~"
"I do not possess the immense power of the [Herrscher of Humanity], nor does I have such impartial love."
"Sometimes, I do have a little bit of selfishness, you know~"
Mo Li: "..."
He seemed to... understand what Alicia meant.
"But... is it what I understand it to mean?" Perhaps because of Mo Li's preconceived notions about Alicia, he was still somewhat uncertain.
However, before he could even ask, Alicia laughed again:
"So... let's get to know each other again?"
Hi~ My name is Alicia~
"Of course, you can also call me—Miss Pink Fairy~"
It was an awkward sentence, but when Alicia said it, it didn't sound out of place at all.
Mo Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
Hello, my name is Mo Li.
"Of course, you can also call me Otto the Old Thief~"
"Pfft... That won't do. I don't like Otto, I like Mo Li~"
These words made Mo Li somewhat uncertain again.
"Are you... confessing your feelings to me?" he asked tentatively, half-jokingly.
But this move had absolutely no effect on Alicia...
Because of her shy demeanor... you simply can't tell if she's genuinely shy or just pretending...
"Seriously... don't say it out loud~ I get shy too~"
"If someone hears this..." Before she could finish speaking, a soft cough came from the doorway.
Mo Li: "..."
Is Ellie's mouth blessed?
The two looked towards the door at the same time and found that the people who came in were Mei and Bronya.
"Boss, this is the contract for the jade mirror." Bronya remained expressionless, seemingly oblivious to her conversation with Alicia.
But, judging from Mei's rosy cheeks and the way her eyes kept wandering between him and Airi...
It's highly likely that Mei and Yaya overheard his conversation with Airi...
This made Mo Li feel a little embarrassed.
In contrast, Alicia remained all smiles and even started teasing Mei!
Is this what social terrorists are like...?
As Mo Li pondered this, she took the two contracts that Ya Ya handed her and glanced at them.
Where is Rita?
"She was discussing mobile phone promotion with people from Yujing; it seemed they were talking about the price."
Mo Li raised an eyebrow. "As expected of Rita."
The two parties were already in a cooperative relationship, yet she still wanted to charge an advertising fee...
However, she was not worried that doing so would offend Yu Jing.
