It must be miHoYo's doing.

A trace of obvious disappointment appeared on her face. Zhong Ling was about to close Bilibili, but in the blink of an eye, she saw another live broadcast room with a two-dimensional girl with short blue hair standing on the cover. The title read - Wave Knight Eula.

"Huh? This style... looks similar to Jean and the others. Could it be that miHoYo has released a new AV streamer?"

Thinking about this, Zhong Ling muttered again, "What a shame, miHoYo didn't leave any contact information. Otherwise, if I could have gotten a collaboration with miHoYo, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

Afterwards, Zhong Ling clicked on the live broadcast room, and what came into view was Eula who was eliminating monsters.

Clean and neat movements, a cold yet elegant look, and a perfect figure that seems like a sculpture. Even when fighting, it is like dancing in the waves.

It is pleasing to the eyes and magnificent.

Zhong Ling's beautiful eyes widened and her breathing inadvertently became rapid.

"No wonder she's called Wave Knight, she's so beautiful... even prettier than my two pretty bodyguards. Most importantly, this aristocratic, queen-like demeanor is exactly what I've always been striving for! Thank you, miHoYo! After wandering around for half my life, I, Zhong Ling, have finally found true love!"

After sighing, Zhong Ling sighed again.

"Unfortunately, this kind of virtual broadcaster is ultimately fake. Although the promotion says that people from another world are broadcasting live, in reality, there is just a model, and there are people behind the scenes dubbing..."

Zhong Ling, who once managed a large gaming department, thought she knew the ins and outs of the business very well. But she had to admit that this kind of livestreaming made it hard to distinguish between fantasy and reality, becoming completely absorbed in it. She was completely absorbed by Eula.

In comparison, the previously seemingly immature Jean, and the completely unattractive Klee, who completely defied her mature womanly aesthetic, were completely forgotten. As for the male characters? Why would she even look at them?

While watching the live broadcast and interacting with the comments, Zhong Ling opened Eula's homepage and looked at the personalities that miHoYo officially wrote for each of its virtual anchors.

Eula Lawrence, Captain of the Mondstadt Knights of Favonius's Guerrilla Squadron II VIII, and the last descendant of the Lawrence family...

As she watched, Zhong Ling fell silent.

Eula's experience reminded her of herself.

She suddenly envied Eula...

I envy Eula's courage to leave her corrupt family behind and join the Knights Templar, even though most of the Knights Templar are prejudiced against her. As Eula said, "The descendants of sinners must forge their own path!"

And what about Zhong Ling herself? Knowing that the Zhong family always excluded her, her father gave her hard work to her brother without even asking for her consent.

However, Zhong Ling didn't have the courage that Youla had. Although she knew she couldn't stay in the Zhong family any longer, she didn't dare to leave the family just like that.

Zhong Ling hated her own weakness, but at the same time she also liked and envied the girl named Eula in the live broadcast.

It was as if she was herself in another world line...

Picking up another can of beer on the table, Zhong Ling pulled the ring and drank it in one gulp.

He was so drunk that his eyes were blurry and his face was flushed.

Afterwards, Zhong Ling clicked on the recharge page of Bilibili and recharged her last 10 RMB.

The next moment, Eula's live broadcast room became lively.

A Governor-General...

One, two, three... Ten carnivals...

Zhong Ling seemed not to care at all and gave rewards wantonly, as if only in this way could she express her inner depression.

…………

On the other side, in Teyvat, Dadaupa Valley.

Eula, who had just cleared a wave of black-air-strengthened hillbillies, seemed to sense something and turned to look at her terminal screen.

I found that the barrage area was refreshing the screen at the speed of light.

[Master Zhong Lingyuxiu? Is this someone's fake account? Why haven't I heard of it?]

[This wave of gifts and the Governor's gift must have totaled 10. Rich people really don't treat money as money.]

…………

Looking at these comments, Eula, who had already learned about the live broadcast information from the terminal, reacted.

This must be a tip from someone, and I heard that if the tipper is sincere, a large amount of raw stones will be generated. She just became a member and hasn't even paid back the 200 raw stones subsidy yet, so she is in dire need of raw stones.

Thinking of this, Eula opened her terminal bracelet, and the number of raw stones displayed on it scared her.

She now has 158 raw stones, and crucially, 100 of them come from the same person, whose online name is Zhong Ling Yu Xiu, but whose real name is Zhong Ling. (If a single person generates a large amount of raw stones, the terminal will indicate the source of the stones.)

Just when Youla was a little surprised, a striking message from the Bilibili platform appeared in the barrage area again.

[Zhong Lingyuxiu: Ms. Eula, I'm very distressed recently. If it doesn't violate your rules, can you talk to me privately after the broadcast?]

Eula took one look and nodded without thinking.

"Yes, but I don't teach others..."

In fact, Eula's live broadcast content these past two days has been just killing monsters. She just finished clearing the last few monsters and was about to end the broadcast. Fortunately, the terminal can log in to the background of various platforms, so she can check the private messages from her fans.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Eula said this, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and the entire live broadcast room burst into crying.

[No, my cool goddess Eula won't be bought by money! ]

I'm a fan of Sa-chan, and I have to say, miHoYo is terrible.

……

After looking at these somewhat confusing comments, Eula didn't care and directly closed the live broadcast.

Of course she was not bribed by money, she was bribed by the raw stones.

Zhong Ling was a little stunned. She just posted that SC casually. In her imagination, in order to prevent such a virtual anchor from being opened, the company should restrict his contact with others. She didn't expect that he actually agreed?

Zhong Ling wanted to ask MiHoYo, if this was revealed, wouldn’t the virtual anchor project developed by the other company be completely ruined?

While Zhong Ling was thinking about all these random things, she actually received a private message from Eula through the background of her Bilibili account.

[Eula: Friend, what do you want to talk about? I, Wave Knight, will do my best to comfort you.]

After reading this, Zhong Ling felt a little sad for some reason.

Zhong Ling didn't care whether the person in front of her was an action crew member or really someone possessed by Eula. Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, she actually told everything about herself.

During this time, Zhong Ling kept sending messages, and Youla only occasionally typed a reply with her mind. The two chatted for nearly two hours.

Eula also discovered that the person she was chatting with seemed to have very similar experiences and personality to her. Although she didn't know what the company and supervisor were, the feeling of being in tune with each other was definitely not wrong!

Volume 1: The Birth of miHoYo: 050 Diona's Wish (Monthly Ticket Bonus)

By the end of the conversation, there were nearly five empty beer cans on Zhong Ling's computer desk.

In a daze, Zhong Ling sent her photo to Youla and asked, "Just a quick question. We should be friends now, right? I gave you my photo. Can you take one for me? I want to see the real you."

At this moment, Zhong Ling no longer cared whether or not the other party had an internal contract with miHoYo. This was the first time she had met someone so suited to her taste. It was like an online romance. Even if it meant shattering her fantasy, Zhong Ling wanted to see the real Eula.

On the other side, Eula, who was walking back to Mondstadt, was stunned for a moment when she saw the news. Then, without hesitation, she activated the selfie mode of the terminal bracelet and took a photo for the other party.

Zhong Ling received the photo, which still showed Eula in a two-dimensional style, but the smile on the other person's mouth was something Zhong Ling had never seen in the live broadcast.

Looking at the photo, Zhong Ling's eyes flashed with disappointment, but more of it was moved. It was as if that smile was only for her.

"Is that so? If only... Eula, you really existed..."

After saying that, Zhong Ling lay down on the computer desk and fell asleep.

Although she had spent her last 10 yuan of savings, this was the most peaceful sleep she had ever had in recent times.

………………

On the other side, Eula was walking while looking at the terminal screen, but she didn't receive a reply for a long time, and she felt a little melancholy for a moment.

"Could it be... that I didn't smile well enough just now? Really? I'm still not very good at communicating with people... What should I do if that friend across from me doesn't contribute Rogue Stones to me in the future? Sigh..."

With a deep sigh, Eula had now arrived near the Cat's Tail Tavern in Mondstadt.

"Huh? We're at the Cat's Tail Tavern? Then let's not go to Angel's Gift today, let's drink here. I heard there's a really skilled bartender here recently."

As she spoke, Eula entered the Cat's Tail Tavern.

However, I saw several familiar faces as soon as I entered the door. It seemed that the Cat's Tail Tavern was not very peaceful today.

"President? And Master Diluc? Why are you here?"

Tianming turned around and saw that it was Eula, so he smiled and greeted her.

"Hello, Eula! You've earned quite a bit of ore, so why not make a wish now?"

Eula's pretty face turned bitter and she waved her hands quickly.

Even though she'd just earned over 100 Primogems, she didn't dare to wish any more. Even if she did, she'd probably have to wait until she'd paid back the 200 Primogems subsidy. The first two ten-consecutive wishes had left a deep impression on Eula...

There were plenty of white and green items, but no blue at all. Furthermore, most of the white items were Mora capsules, some containing ten thousand Mora, some a million Mora, instantly freeing her up to buy whatever she wanted. Eula didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Oh, what a pity. Eula members, it's not a good habit to just earn primogems without spending them~" Tianming, with a "kind" smile on his face, did not forget to kindly remind Eula.

Youla shuddered all over and gritted her teeth inwardly.

"Damn you, President! I'll take this vengeance!"

But outwardly, Eula didn't dare to show any expression, and could only nod and change the subject.

"By the way, President, why are you here..."

Tianming spread his hands and said, "Of course, it's to recruit new members~~"

A few minutes ago, Tianming was still arranging matters for Mihoyo Company on Blue Star, but he suddenly received a message from Diluk that he wanted to recommend new members. Without thinking, he left Meita and Si Keke on Blue Star and ran back to recruit new members.

After all, acquiring new members is a top priority at this stage, just like producing miHoYo games.

As for who the new member recommended by Diluk is, who else could it be? Since we have already arrived at the Cat's Tail Tavern, it can only be Diona.

The cause of the incident was that as Diluk and Blue Star's wine and beverage business grew bigger and bigger, and they earned more and more raw stones, the variety of wine and beverages naturally became a problem.

The best-selling Dandelion Wine is in short supply. Many other types of wine are not produced by Chenxi Winery, so the quality is not good and the sales are not good either.

Coincidentally, Diluc noticed a girl named Diona at the Cat's Tail Tavern who could easily make delicious brews from ordinary wine. Initially, Diluc wanted to buy the recipe, but Diona refused, saying she didn't want the recipe to leak out and harm others.

Afterwards, Diluk, who was a little confused, wanted to hire Diona directly, but all he got was Diona's contempt.

"Lady Margaret is so good to Diona. I'm not going anywhere but the Cat's Tail Tavern!"

Finally, Diluk, who is at his wit's end, decides to use his money power and come up with a bad plan - to buy the Cat's Tail Tavern!

At this point, Diona was looking at Lady Margaret in disbelief.

"Madam Margaret, didn't you say that the Cat's Tail Inn was a pure land and you would never sell it to anyone else?"

Being stared at like this by Diona, Margaret showed a little shame on her face.

"I'm sorry, Diona, but... he gave too much..."

Behind her, Diluk stepped forward, his expression calm but confident. "Ms. Diona, may I hire you now? If you accept, you will receive not only a high salary, but also opportunities beyond your wildest dreams."

Unexpectedly, Diona suddenly clenched her fists and her eyes gradually turned red.

"Diona... No way! Why... Why are you all asking me to make drinks!"

"Drinking adults are the worst! Drunk and sloppy ones are the worst!"

"Father is the same. Ever since Mom passed away, he's been drinking every day. He doesn't act like an adult at all."

As she spoke, Diona became more and more agitated, even pointing her finger at Diluc's nose and yelling.

"I hate you adults who sell alcohol! Without alcohol, my father wouldn't be like this!"

After the roar, Diona's voice became more choked with sobs.

"You...you think I really like mixing drinks?! I originally just wanted to make a drink so unpalatable that it would make people quit drinking, so that my father would stop drinking...but...why...why, no matter how hard I try, everyone always praises the drinks I make..."

"Why... wuwuwu..."

Diona squatted on the ground weakly, and her sobbing sound echoed in the tavern.

Diluk and Eula were silent, Margaret regretted her decision, but there was one person who kept smiling despite the crying and walked towards Diona.

"Diona, is it your wish to create a drink that can help people quit drinking?"

Diona paused, then looked up in confusion. She was met with a pair of eyes that seemed to encompass everything in the world...

"Your wish... is pure!"

What followed was the usual stuff: Diona successfully took the bait, signed the contract, and began praying, all in one go.
