The only thing that Yun Jin regrets is that Liyue did not showcase the opera culture of the Dragon Kingdom.
She often wondered whether she should go to miHoYo and offer her opinion...
Although the story of Genshin Impact mentions that Zhongli enjoys listening to opera, the opera has never been shown.
However, considering the reasons for the decline of traditional opera, Yun Jin ultimately gave up the idea of going to miHoYo.
It's a game aimed at young people, and how could young people possibly like traditional opera...?
Therefore, she would only mention it occasionally when filling out questionnaires.
……
"Sigh..." Yun Jin sighed and then browsed through the other cosplay servers.
In the end, she decided to pick a few to buy first.
As for Himeko and Kiana's armor, we'll have to wait for the next release.
However, before she could even think about it, several of Rita's and Yae Sakura's beautiful outfits were sold out one after another.
The outfits of Ningguang, Keqing, and the others on the Genshin Impact side also quickly dimmed.
"It's selling like hotcakes!!"
Yun Jin was completely dumbfounded.
Not only was Yun Jin surprised, but the other game manufacturers and clothing manufacturers were also extremely envious.
Clothing worth hundreds of thousands of yuan sold out in seconds!
They're not stupid. Although only 3 units were released domestically on the surface, it certainly won't show as "sold out" until the total number reaches 1.
The only possibility is... that the 7 sets overseas also sold out in seconds!!
That's not all; many other fabric styles also showed as "sold out" within one minute!
This wave of success has made miHoYo and Qiancheng Fashion incredibly wealthy.
Countless game developers have seen the enormous profits involved.
They finally made up their minds.
Once a game IP is successfully established, there are many more ways to make money than just through in-game purchases!
A compelling storyline, a perfectly crafted world, excellent character development, and most importantly, the essential elements of anime/manga...
This is the key to miHoYo's great success.
Immediately, countless game developers held emergency meetings to discuss the feasibility of miHoYo's operational methods.
Not just game developers.
Many domestic apparel manufacturers also expressed envy and jealousy towards Qiancheng Fashion.
They made money, and their fame... even spread overseas...
How can this not make people envious?
…………
That night, the gaming industry, both domestically and internationally, was incredibly lively.
By the next morning, the sales data of the cosplay costumes cosplayed by miHoYo in collaboration with Qiancheng Fashion had directly topped the trending searches on Douyin and Weibo.
Countless players below are complaining and showing off.
Wow, miHoYo... They sold 10,000 sets of armor costing over 100,000...
[MiHoYo, aren't you going to sell another batch? (Angry)]
[I can't afford armor sets, I just want more Eden-themed outfits to be listed.]
[I second that suggestion; let's also add a few more sets of Lost Rosemary to the shelves.]
Holy crap, so many celebrities are complaining that these tickets are as hard to get as Eden Social Club concert tickets!
[I saw it! My brother managed to snag the Luna Armor. He's going to take pictures and try it on after it arrives!]
[Upstairs, you said... your brother wants to try on the Lunar Armor???]
I think it's fine. After all, it's an immortal... cough... this armor suits guys pretty well too.
Didn't you guys look at the data? The Lunar Armor is actually the best-selling item...
As expected, this approach was originally on the neutral side.
[Holy crap! How come I didn't think of that before?! I'm starting to regret it, I bought the White Knight Moonlight...]
[Hey bros, I managed to snag the Moonlit Armor for the goofy goose (grinning face) but now I regret it. Anyone want to trade it for the Lunar Armor? No need to pay the difference!]
[Don't change (picking nose)]
[It's so sour... Waaaaah...]
……
Inside the MiHoYo studio.
Mo Li was also looking at information online at this time.
He was genuinely astonished by the speed at which players snapped up the items.
In his previous estimation, armored clothing would be difficult to sell, with only about 7 sets likely to be sold worldwide.
But to our surprise, it sold out in just a few seconds.
Moreover, even he didn't expect that the best-selling item would actually be the Shadow Knight Moon Wheel...
It has to be said, netizens have incredibly vivid imaginations.
He's even getting a little impulsive now, wanting to go find Fu Hua and borrow her Luna Armor to try it on.
"It seems... the size is wrong, I probably won't be able to wear it..."
"Tsk...what a pity~"
Meanwhile, Ningguang was also looking at information online.
She regrets it now.
If she had known male players would like the Luna Armor so much, she would have set the price higher.
We've already sold a batch, so the price can't be raised much further. Raising it too much would ultimately damage our reputation.
"Ningguang, I just received several calls from celebrities in the entertainment industry who want to order armor-themed cosplay costumes."
Ningguang was somewhat surprised: "Even celebrities are coming to our door?"
However, she quickly figured out the reason.
Honkai Impact 3rd is now incredibly popular worldwide, boasting a massive fanbase.
Even Eden likes it, so it's understandable that some star players have emerged.
Even some people who have never played Honkai Impact 3 will make a point of learning about it.
If we're lucky, we might even be able to collaborate with miHoYo.
Even if you don't have the chance, buying a suit of armor, wearing it, taking a few photos, and posting them online can still attract a wave of fans.
Thinking of this, Ningguang didn't refuse: "Sure, double the price for them, and as for the reason... just make up any excuse~"
Keqing nodded: "I knew you'd say that..."
"Hehe~ Of course I want to make money!"
"So you're not planning to add more to the sale?"
Ningguang shook her head: "Let's wait a while."
"Once those bloggers and celebrities receive the goods, they'll definitely post videos to show off, and the hype will surge again."
"When players see the incredibly realistic finished product, they'll be even more eager to buy it, and the price will likely rise even further!"
.......
Chapter 117 Preview Livestream: The Hall Master is so adorable!
It was assumed that those who managed to snag armor-themed cosplay outfits would have to wait at least one to two months to receive their goods.
But only one day later, a video of someone cosplaying Durandal appeared on Douyin.
The poster is a female internet celebrity on Douyin (TikTok) with over 100 million followers.
In the video, a tall girl wearing the [Radiant Knight: Moonlit Blade] armor and wielding the Black Abyss White Flower clumsily performs a spear flourish.
The girl is pretty and has a great figure, but her overall demeanor is a bit too soft.
"Hehe~ Everyone must be curious about why I was able to get the goods so quickly, right?"
In the video, the girl is beaming with pride, waving her "weapon" in her hand.
"To be honest, I was quite surprised myself. The client said this was a batch of armor that was made in advance before the sale started."
