"Ha~ You really don't know what's good for you. We're doing you a favor by acquiring us, so don't blame us if you don't take the bait."
.......
Chapter 21 Healthy, Sunny, and Positive~
Honkai Impact 3 has been in open beta for three days.
In just three days, the net profit reached 1000 million!
But of those 1000 million, 80% increased on the day of the public beta launch.
Clearly, this is coated with the light of Eden.
Once the hype surrounding Eden died down, profits plummeted over the next two days.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of Eden... Just playing for an afternoon has brought such a huge benefit to the game..."
"It seems we need to contact them as soon as possible."
Cooperation is definitely necessary, since Eden will need to participate in the later episodes of "The Thirteen Heroes Chasing Fire".
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine; they could just use coincidence as an excuse.
But for public figures like Eden and Alicia, the word "coincidence" certainly doesn't work.
Mo Li wasn't worried that the other party wouldn't agree.
After all, he's a musician... so using music to seduce the other person is perfectly fine~
If the other party still doesn't agree, then Mo Li will have no choice but to replace one of the Thirteen Heroes.
However, Mo Li will still try her best to win the role, because if the role is changed, then Honkai Impact 3rd will not be perfect.
"Boss, it's already 2 PM. Can we release the Herrscher of the Void gacha banner announcement now?"
Mo Li looked up and what came into view were two full, round breasts...
"Ahem... since it's time, let's upload it to both Bilibili and Douyin at the same time."
"From now on, you don't need to ask for my opinion on things that have already been decided..."
"Hehe~ But I want to spend more time with the boss~" Rita, dressed in an office lady outfit, was elegant and sexy, with an incredibly charming smile. Coupled with her aloof tone, it was really hard to resist.
"Rita... how did you get so bad off with Himeko? All that talking nonsense can become a habit..."
"Huh? Is the boss worried I'll go around flirting with other men?" Rita tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, feigning shyness, and said, "Don't worry, Rita will only flirt with the boss~"
Mo Li didn't believe Rita's words at all. She rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, "Alright, alright, I know you're in a hurry for money to take care of your 'Saving Girls' project."
"But all my money is invested in Honkai Impact 3rd, and I don't have much left. Although Honkai Impact 3rd has made a profit of over 10 million, the results haven't been settled yet."
"How could we possibly be the kind of people who only care about money? Boss, you have such a big misunderstanding about us..."
Unlike before, Rita looked extremely serious when she said this.
Mo Li was momentarily unable to determine whether what he said was true or false.
He had always thought he knew the girls in the studio very well, but at this moment, he suddenly began to doubt himself.
Seeing Mo Li fall silent, Rita chuckled softly, "Alright, boss, I won't tease you this time."
"Here's your coffee. I'll go back to work now."
After saying that, Rita left Mo Li's office in her high heels.
Watching the girl's departing figure, Mo Li seemed to understand something.
"Right, this isn't a game world, there's no Honkai, no destiny... It's probably most reasonable for the girls to have some personality differences..."
He shook his head: "I should go check on Himeko's voice acting."
"This chapter is quite angsty..."
……
When Mo Li arrived outside the dubbing room, she found the girls all sitting together.
And in the middle was Himeko, whose eyes were red-rimmed.
"Himeko, what's wrong? Did the boss bully you?" Bronya asked with her arms crossed and a very serious expression.
Although Mo Li had been very polite during the past two weeks, which made Bronya lower her guard against him.
But if Mo Li really bullies the girls in the studio, Bronya will definitely not let him off the hook.
Rita shook her head: "I don't think so... I just went to see the boss, and he seemed to be checking the game data..."
"So, who exactly made Himeko cry?"
Everyone looked at Himeko, hoping she could confess the murderer as soon as possible.
……
But Himeko was still immersed in grief, her nose twitching, unable to speak at all, and she was also a little embarrassed to speak...
After all... being brought to tears by the game's storyline is a bit too embarrassing.
At this moment, Mo Li finally walked over and, looking at the girls sitting together, asked curiously, "What are you all doing gathered here?"
Seeing Mo Li approaching, Rita made way for him.
Looking through the gap, Mo Li immediately saw Ji Zi with red eyes. Moreover, Ji Zi was staring at him with a pitiful look, no longer as mature as before, but rather appearing somewhat cute.
Mo Li: "..."
He was silent for a moment before hesitatingly asking, "Himeko, did you... cry while watching the story during the voice acting?"
The girls: "??"
Ji Zi: “…”
Upon hearing Mo Li mention the plot again, Ji Zi seemed to recall something painful, biting her lip with a pitiful expression, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
She tried her best to control herself from crying, but the more she tried, the more uncontrollable the tears became.
"Woo~"
Then… she accidentally started sobbing.
Seeing Himeko so heartbroken, the girls quickly offered words of comfort, their faces showing concern.
The girls have a really good relationship.
"Okay, okay, stop crying, alright? We're all here to help you with anything."
Seeing that Himeko was still not telling the truth, Rita turned to look at Mo Li:
"Boss, do you know why?"
Mo Li didn't hide anything: "Isn't the Herrscher of the Void about to be released? I plan to release her to coincide with the storyline of Chapter Nine."
"Well... Chapter Nine is basically all about Himeko, so it's normal that you don't know about it... Maybe it's because the story is a bit touching and made Himeko cry."
Mo Li's explanation only made the girls more confused.
How could reading a script make you cry?
Feeling the gazes of her sisters, Himeko felt utterly humiliated.
But this actually helped her break free from the storyline.
"Boss, you're making me... lose face. I'm the oldest lady here, you know."
Mo Li smiled and said, "As the eldest sister, is your tolerance for stress really that low?"
"You have the nerve to say that..." Himeko rolled her eyes at Mo Li: "Have you suffered some kind of trauma? How could you write such a plot? I remember you said before that Honkai Impact 3rd was... a healthy, sunny, and positive game?"
"You call this healthy and sunny?"

Chapter 22 Kiana: Huh? Isn't this my character?
"What's wrong with that? Look at the game's theme: 'Fight for all that is good in the world.' Isn't that positive and uplifting enough?"
"What about health and sunshine?"
Mo Li awkwardly scratched his face. He couldn't really blame himself; the real game story planner was to blame.
He quickly chuckled and said, "You can talk back to me now, so it seems you've calmed down."
Himeko glared at her.
"Haha... How's the voice acting going?"
Himeko nodded impatiently: "Chapter Nine is finished."
"Okay, let me take a look."
Mo Li retrieved the data and uploaded it to her computer.
The other girls all gathered around as well.
Because, apart from Himeko, the other girls only appeared for a short time in this chapter, so they are not very familiar with the plot.
