Genshin Impact Creation: Alicia, please endorse me. Author: Dragon Ball Cute.
In a world where a game is in its early stages of development, Mo Li awakens his past life memories, binds himself to the game creation system, and creates a game studio.
When he arrived at the studio, he realized that the employees there were actually characters from the game.
Looking at the familiar faces, Mo Li waved his hand and started making "Genshin Impact" and "Honkai Impact 3".
Keqing: "Boss, could you... no, could you buff Keqing in the game? She's too overpowered!!"
Mei: "Raiden General... such a domineering character, but you really can't insult my cooking skills!"
Himeko: "Boss... I finished writing chapter 9, but you keep pushing me out to deliver tragedies. Is that really okay?"
……
"The Last Lesson" drove players to despair, while "The New Flame Burns Forever" brought them to tears.
Every PV stirs up the players' emotions.
The music, storyline, and visuals showed players around the world what a true game is all about.
However, these two games were just the beginning: Sekiro, Silent Hill, The Witcher 3...
Chapter 1 miHoYo, Yulandale? ??
"How could such a thing happen??"
At this moment, Mo Li sat blankly in front of the computer, his handsome face filled with shock.
He woke up to find a whole bunch of unfamiliar memories inexplicably appearing in his mind.
Those memories are like another version of myself, who lived in another world for 20 years and then brought back everything that happened in those 20 years.
In that memory, there was a place called Earth, where the countries were no different from the world he lived in.
The only difference is the direction of global development.
For example, many of the music and games that existed in that place called Earth are very different from those in this world.
The same applies to movies, but since Mo Li was unfamiliar with the film industry, he deliberately ignored it.
"League of Legends, Honkai Impact 3, Genshin Impact, Sekiro, Resident Evil..."
Mo Li was overjoyed: "So many creative ideas, and they've even been tested by the market... these memories are a real treasure!"
However, Mo Li quickly shook her head.
While the ideas are creative, the cost of making these games is simply too high.
Take that mobile game called Honkai Impact 3rd, for example; its development cost is estimated to be tens of millions...
Although he has some money now, developing a game is still too difficult.
Moreover, he had absolutely no experience in game development.
But he was still somewhat unwilling to give up this mountain of gold...
Just then, a clear, sharp sound suddenly rang in his mind.
[Ding~ Game creation system successfully bound]
[New player gift pack has been distributed]
[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have gained game development experience]
[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have obtained all content from versions 1.0 to 7.0 of the game Honkai Impact 3]
[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have received initial funding of 2000 million (for game development only)]
A series of loli voices echoed in Mo Li's mind, leaving him completely stunned.
"Am I... bound to a system??"
Mo Li was overjoyed.
After gaining access to those vast memories, Mo Li became incredibly fond of those games.
Who wouldn't want to be able to make these games themselves and earn a lot of money?
He quickly opened the system panel to check the rewards he had received.
He applied his game development experience directly, and in a very short time, he acquired a wealth of knowledge about game development.
"This loli system really is... making all my wishes come true..."
He then began to review the detailed introduction of the system.
"I see... the chicken comes first, the egg comes second, right?"
To be precise, Mo Li needs to create her first game and gain popularity points.
After that, he can use his popularity points to buy the game packs he wants in the system store, and so on.
The system had already provided him with all the information for the first game.
"They've paved the way for me, and it's a road to becoming a winner in life!"
Mo Li's eyes gleamed, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his handsome face.
Without saying a word, he walked out of his office and handed in his resignation letter.
Just kidding. If you have the system and can make the games you like, why would you need to go to work?
Because he had just graduated from university and was still in his internship, he easily became a freelancer again.
After leaving the company, Mo Li drove straight home.
He already had a general idea in mind.
Making a game is impossible for one person alone, even with a system.
Therefore, his first task was to establish or acquire a studio.
He's still considering whether to create his own company or acquire one.
As for money, the initial 2000 million provided by the system can still be used to acquire studios.
[Ding~ The system has selected a few backup studios for you~]
Mo Li paused slightly as he left the car, then opened the system panel with a hint of surprise.
The game studios introduced in the system are all small in size, have no external debt, but are on the verge of going out of business.
Mo Li parked the car to the side and carefully selected the items.
"Mihoyo??" Upon seeing this name, a question mark immediately popped into Mo Li's head.
He remembered that this seemed to be the nickname of the company on Earth that made Honkai Impact 3 and Genshin Impact.
And then, it actually appeared in this world!
"That's quite interesting," Mo Li smiled and clicked on the studio's introduction.
The information states that the company created a tower defense game with an anime art style, and its operating model is a typical time-based subscription model used in this world.
As a result, more than half a year after the game's release, it still hadn't recouped its development costs.
It's like they've completely collapsed.
"Oh right... this world is full of buy-to-play games!! And online games are all pay-per-view!!"
Mo Li thought back on the operating models of online games on Earth and realized that free-to-play games with in-app purchases were the ones that were truly profitable.
Thinking of this, Mo Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"This world... is truly in its infancy in the gaming industry... Whether it's gameplay or business model, it's completely incomparable to that Earth."
“But…isn’t this perfect?” Mo Li smiled slightly, feeling increasingly confident in the game development industry.
I turned my head and looked at the information about the "miHoYo" studio again.
The founder is "Youlan," and the studio's work is "Saving the Girl."
Studio's current situation: Income is not enough to cover expenses.
Below, the system also provides the studio's address, a photo of the founder, and their contact information.
"Huh?! This..." Upon seeing the founder's photo, Mo Li subconsciously rubbed his eyes: "Could I be seeing things?!"
The photo shows a woman in a business suit, with white hair in a high ponytail and an exquisitely beautiful face.
In the past, Mo Li would have only thought that this woman was very beautiful, so beautiful that she was flawless.
However, after gaining access to those memories of Earth, he was shocked to discover that the woman in the photo was none other than Durandal from the game Honkai Impact 3.
"Youlan?? Could it really be her?!"
Chapter 2: Negotiations with Dell, Acquiring miHoYo
Mo Li looked at the other person's photo again and finally concluded that they looked exactly alike!
"I was just planning to acquire this studio, so I'll give them a call and ask about their situation."
