Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Kiana's the voice, with Klee update!
Since the release of the animated short film "Shattered Samsara" from "Honkai Impact 3rd", it has received almost universal praise online.
Both domestically and internationally, people have been deeply impressed by the scenes reminiscent of a fantastical world like that of a Dragon Kingdom.
Discussions can be found almost everywhere.
["Mihoyo has turned over a new leaf! This chapter is a perfect ending, sob sob sob..."]
["Fu Hua... My Kokkoro... it's so wonderful, sob sob sob..."]
["Flying with a sword is so cool, and my waifu is so cute~"]
["Mihoyo, a company delayed by games and anime."]
["Mihoyo's music is also amazing, it's just awesome!"]
["Roll on! Keep rolling! Roll over those game companies hahaha..."]
["Himeko: Wakes up, and the whole class becomes Lawmakers!"]
["I just realized, this game has voice acting throughout the main story... and those voice actors are really strong!!"]
["The comment above is right, the feeling of playing is really immersive, just like watching an anime, even more immersive than watching anime!"]
["This is what a game should be, yes, a real game!! ... I'm crying"]
["Traveler, is Honkai Impact 3rd fun?"]
Mihoyo Studio.
Since the day Kiana livestreamed, Mo Li passed the theme song "Everlasting Flame" to Eden.
After listening to this song, she became obsessed with it and couldn't help herself.
To Mo Li's surprise, Eden refused to sing this song.
At first, Mo Li thought she didn't like it.
Until she smiled and said, "This is Kiana and the others' response to Himeko, a response to the past."
"I really like this song, really like it, but... I prefer this story."
"Everlasting Flame... indeed..."
"When the once fledgling bird has grown its wings and has enough strength to protect its own sky... the former teacher will surely show a relieved smile, right?"
At this point, a smile appeared on Eden's lips.
"I will do my best to teach Kiana singing skills. I must make her sing this song personally before the update of Chapter 25!"
Indeed, when she saw the title of the song, Eden roughly guessed the meaning of this theme song.
And when she saw the lyrics, she completely understood the theme of the song.
It just confirmed her previous statement that once a fledgling, now able to stand alone.
After that, Alicia and Eden temporarily stayed in the studio.
And "Everlasting Flame" was ultimately decided to be sung by the Trinity, plus Himeko.
When Kiana heard that Eden would teach her to sing, she was so happy she wanted to jump up. However, her enthusiasm waned after only two days. Fortunately, with Mei accompanying her, Kiana didn't give up.
On the 157th day, the girls gathered together.
In the recording studio, Himeko and others were recording the theme song "Everlasting Flame".
"Wave goodbye to the past when hope and faith have grown so strong and sound..."
Including Mo Li, the girls listened quietly to Himeko's singing.
Until the end of this recording session, they all applauded.
"It's so beautiful, Boss Mo Li is really amazing..." Kamisato Ayaka applauded and looked at Mo Li with shining eyes.
The other girls nodded vigorously in agreement.
The music of this world is indeed lagging behind.
Every theme song of "Honkai Impact 3rd" can dominate the music charts of this world.
Especially "The Last Lesson" and "Meteor in the Sky".
With the support of short films and stories, they have almost become classics.
It can only be said that the entertainment industry on Earth is much stronger than that on Blue Star.
Mo Li couldn't imagine the explosive effect when Chapter 25 was released, paired with this song...
Wait and see, players on Blue Star will soon experience the fun of "Honkai Impact 3rd".
Watching Himeko and others walk out of the recording studio, Mo Li shook her head regretfully, "Let's stop here for today... it feels a bit lacking."
As soon as Kiana heard this, she immediately protested, "Boss... I sang very, very, very seriously..."
"This is the best I've done in the past few days..."
Mo Li nodded, "I know, but... let's talk about it later."
At this moment, Eden suddenly spoke up, "I think it's because they haven't seen Chapter 25 yet, so they can't understand what this song is expressing, and naturally can't put in their emotions."
"Indeed... I also thought of that." Mo Li nodded, "Let's temporarily set aside the song recording. Let's finish the voice acting first."
"Oh, and Klee's gacha is about to start..."
Rita nodded, "That's right, Boss. According to your plan, Klee's gacha will start today, and the 1.1 update will be released in half a month."
"In a few days, there will be a preview livestream for version 1.1 of 'Genshin Impact'..."
"It's quite urgent." Mo Li pondered for a moment, then ordered, "Rita, you go and release Klee's character PV now, and the Klee banner will open at 2 p.m."
"Ganyu, Hu Tao, come with me, I'll talk to you about the preview livestream in a few days."
Mo Li's words puzzled the girls.
"A preview livestream?"
Mo Li only mentioned the preview livestream to Rita.
So the other girls were unaware.
Mo Li smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's actually very simple, it's equivalent to a preview of the new versions of 'Genshin Impact' and 'Honkai Impact 3rd'."
Yes, in this upcoming preview livestream, Mo Li plans to also hype up the next version of "Honkai Impact 3rd".
Mo Li had prepared a questionnaire survey before.
Basically, those who play "Genshin Impact" are ninety percent likely to have played "Honkai Impact 3rd".
And vice versa.
So there's no problem with doing a joint preview for both games.
Just need to prioritize.
At this moment, Kiana curiously asked, "So... who will host this livestream?"
Mo Li smiled gently, "I'll personally host it. Of course, in my opinion, it would be even better if Hu Tao and Ganyu are willing to join me."
Upon hearing Mo Li's words, Hu Tao immediately became interested, "Really, Boss? Aren't you afraid I'll mess up?"
Mo Li smiled, "Of course not. I actually think your mischievous personality will be more endearing. If you're willing to wear the attire of Hu Tao for the livestream, that would be even better~"
"No problem~~" Hu Tao didn't even hesitate and immediately agreed.
As for Ganyu, she blushed a bit, "I... I'm afraid I'll be nervous..."
Mo Li smiled, "It's okay, you can just be a flower vase. Of course, if you really don't want to, I won't force you."
"Well... I'll consider it..."
Meanwhile, Bronya looked at Mo Li with a strange expression, "Boss, are you planning to do a live broadcast as Otto?"
Mo Li: "..."
He hadn't even thought about that at first.
But after Bronya mentioned it, he suddenly became interested.
"It seems like it could work..."
Mo Li could imagine what the barrage in the live stream would look like when he appeared as Otto.
"It's quite interesting, but let's not do it this time. After all, this is Genshin Impact's home ground, so let's not cosplay as Otto." Rita covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's a pity, I was thinking of appearing by your side in Rita's form if you used Otto's image for the live stream."
Mo Li: "..."
Damn! Playing like this would definitely explode the live stream's effect!
"We can consider it... but not this time." Mo Li finally shook his head, "For version 1.1, I plan to introduce the Geo Archon of Liyue and the Ganyu banner, so I thought of having Ganyu appear."
The Geo Archon of Liyue?
The girls became interested as soon as they heard this name.
"Boss, I'm curious, what does the Geo Archon of Liyue look like?"
Because the game's plot hasn't reached Liyue yet.
So up until now, the girls still didn't know what the deity of Liyue looked like. Now that they heard about this character, their curiosity was suddenly piqued.
Mo Li didn't hide anything and directly took out his phone to show Zhongli's original art.
When the girls saw Zhongli's original art, they all looked at Mo Li with strange expressions.
"Hmm? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Kiana said, "Boss is so cunning, he actually played the deity of Liyue himself!"
Mo Li: "Me? A deity, wait a minute..."
He hadn't noticed before, but now that he looked... he did look a lot like Zhongli. If he dyed his hair a bit, the only difference between him and Zhongli would be their temperament.
He hadn't noticed before, but now that he looked... he did look a lot like Zhongli. If he dyed his hair a bit, the only difference between him and Zhongli would be their temperament.
And his name coincidentally contained the character "Li."
Seeing the girls' strange gazes, Mo Li didn't know how to explain.
But what he was more concerned about now was whether players could accept the fact that he looked so much like the Geo Archon.
If he were found out, it would inevitably lead to gossip like, "Are you qualified to play the Geo Archon of Liyue?"
Thinking of this, Mo Li held up the original art and asked again, "Do I really look so much like this original art?"
The girls nodded repeatedly, "If you put on the same clothes and dyed your hair, there would be at least a ninety percent similarity."
Mo Li frowned.
"Do you think if players knew I was playing the Geo Archon, they would feel disgusted?"
With this said, the girls looked at each other.
They were a bit confused why Mo Li was worried about this.
It was Rita who first smiled and said, "Boss, I think you're worrying too much. Isn't this just like acting?"
"Just look at historical movies, it's very common for someone to play the emperor of a foreign country. What does it matter if you play a virtual character?"
Himeko also nodded in agreement, "I actually really like the appearance of this Geo Archon."
"And besides, you've even cosplayed as the universally hated Otto, what's there to be afraid of?"
After careful consideration, Mo Li realized... that seemed to make sense.
"I might have been overthinking it..."
"If there's no problem, let's go prepare."
After the meeting, Yae Miko went to update the game with a small update.
They added a character demo video for Klee and opened the Klee banner in the game.
Bronya went to record the voice-over for "Honkai Impact 3rd."
Rita, Murata Himeko, and Mei went to prepare lunch.
Hu Tao took Kiana to play with Elysia and Klee.
The other girls were busy preparing the venue for the upcoming preview livestream in a few days.
Unlike the previous livestreams, Mo Li planned to make the preview livestream more formal.
After all, this was a livestream aimed at a global audience.
So he specifically selected a room to serve as the dedicated livestream venue.
At this moment, a game streamer named "Fallen" from the Douyin platform was livestreaming "Honkai Impact 3rd."
(TN: Fallen Brother!)
Ever since he tried "Honkai Impact 3rd" last time, Fallen had completely fallen in love with the game.
It could be said that he fell in love with the game studio, miHoYo.
Not only "Honkai Impact 3rd," but "Genshin Impact" also captured his heart.
Now, although he was a console game streamer, he would spend some time livestreaming "Honkai Impact 3rd" or "Genshin Impact" every day during his livestream.
Under his influence, many of his fans also started playing "Honkai Impact 3rd."
"Finally, the last ten pulls, and I finally got the Herrscher of Void!"
Looking at the sealed weapon, Fallen smiled with satisfaction.
Without hesitation, he immediately upgraded the her weapon to its maximum level. "See, xdm, I'm still quite lucky. I've graduated from the beginner's stage!"
[Gou Tuo, get lost!]
[rnmStranger!]
[I've almost pulled out my marrow, and I still haven't gotten the my little Sirin!!! QAQ]
[It's not mine, I suggest you fuse it! (Angry)]
Looking at the teasing remarks in the barrage, Fallen also proudly displayed the panel of his Zither of Judgment.
And just then, a barrage caught his attention.
[Fallen, quickly look at the skill names of the Zither of Judgment, it's so funny haha]
"Skill names?"
Fallen curiously opened the skill panel.
Branch Attack [Myriad Blades and Thousand Strengths]
[Endless Sword Qi]
[The Flaws of the Spear and Lance]
[Heroes are Heartless from the Start]
Seeing this humorous poetry, Fallen was full of question marks, "Interesting..."
He then opened the Ultimate skill and looked it over.
Then came the Normal Attacks and Evasion skills.
At this point, he cleared his throat, pretended to be serious, and recited with a shake of his head.
"[Evasion Skill]Zither of Judgment"
"Come without a trace ~ Go with a trace ~"
"Scent dissipates, shadow vanishes ~ Tremors deafen ~"
"How can specters ~ cause mischief ~"
"Ink feathers drifting ~ turn into rainbows"
"It rhymes quite well, hahaha..."
Seeing this, Fallen burst into laughter.
The barrage was also amused. If it weren't for that barrage, many players wouldn't have paid attention to these character skill names.
Now that they saw them, it was just too funny.
[miHoYo has paid attention to such details...]
[Roll!! Keep rolling haha...]
[Zither of Judgment... Hahaha... So! Cute!]
[No wonder he's the child of a fairy, this is what they call versatility (ridiculous)]
[It may not be considered poetry, but it's really interesting haha]
[I've noticed, these "poems" not only rhyme well, but they also match the skill effects perfectly]
[miHoYo is amazing haha...]
[Fallen, your Evasion skill title is wrong, it should be called "Come Hit Me~"]
[Those three weapon names are also interesting haha... It's definitely the style of Zither of Judgment]
[Yin Yang Strange Device; Direct Spear for Talk; Many Words Lead to Murder]
Fallen was also thoroughly enjoying himself.
After reading the Evasion skill, he clicked on the Passive skills.
"Cough cough...[Passive Skills]"
"Swords and spears, axes and hooks ~"
"Enemies come, shields block ~ Blades fall ~"
"Rhyming is too difficult... wait, this... hahaha..." Fallen burst out laughing when he saw this.
"God damn it... hahaha..."
The barrage was equally entertained.
After a while, Fallen finally regained his composure.
"Indeed, this is the style of Zither of Judgment... Haha... Sorry, I almost couldn't hold it back again haha"
"Cough... Alright, let's take a look at the last two lines"
"Rhyming is too difficult ~ Forget it ~"
"The Ziwei Constellation is difficult to follow my wishes"
"Hmm... the last line indeed doesn't rhyme, it seems Zither of Judgment decided to switch things up here"
After evaluating it, he then clicked on the final Captain skill.
"Poetry duels are difficult to deal with... Haha..."
"Really, I don't know what to say about miHoYo anymore, they're just too detailed..."
"These character skill names probably took a lot of thought, but he really... actually wrote them, and they really match Zither of Judgment's personality"
"Tsk... other game developers really can't compare"
The barrage also floated a bunch of praises for miHoYo.
Afterwards, Fallen looked at the skills of other characters, and then continued to tackle the Abyss.
But he had just started, and the barrage was flooded with a message.
[Fallen! The new character banner for "Genshin Impact" is open!! It's Klee!!]
(TN: Sorry but I don't have Senti, so I can't fact check)
