I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

Seeing Otto retreat half a step, Ye Ming couldn't help but purse his lips like a cat.

“In fact, we also want to update both games together. After all, the more content, the more attractive it will be to players.”

Ye Ming pretended to be helpless and cried:

"But our funds are too limited to produce such a high production capacity."

"unless……"

Otto asked, "Unless what?"

Ye Ming replied: "Add money."

After the true intention was revealed, Ye Ming continued to deceive:

"Mr. Otto could make a donation to the studio within his means so that we can release new versions of both games at the same time."

"How much do you want?"

"It depends on how much you give. If you give more, it will come out faster. If you give less, it will come out slower~~"

Ye Ming said easily:

"Anyway, we've reached the version where Mr. Otto is the protagonist. How strong the finishing touch will be depends on Mr. Otto's intention."

The implication is: pay more!

364. The Twelve Heroes Who Chased Fire?

“Once the money is in place, how long will it take?”

"It will be very soon, and you can perform in person, and you can also invite Karen over as well."

As he spoke, Ye Ming gently tapped the swollen bump on Otto's face, causing him to twitch in pain.

"But that has to wait until your injury heals, otherwise it will ruin the atmosphere."

"Wait for the money."

Otto had no intention of wasting any more time. He just wanted to go back and apply medicine on his face.

After Otto left, Keqing, who had heard the two men's negotiation, came over to Ye Ming and asked:

“Are we short of money?”

"No, I am not lacking at all. I would say I am quite wealthy."

"Then why do you make such a request?"

"That's Otto!"

Ye Ming took it for granted:

"If I don't make some money from him, how can I justify what he did before?"

"So, do we really want two games to be updated simultaneously?"

"Yeah, that's what I thought originally."

Ye Ming explained:

"The continent of Teyvat and the world of Honkai are about to undergo a huge change, and a long period of preparation is needed for this."

“So it would be a better choice to release the prelude version first to let players get used to it.”

After saying this, Ye Ming gathered the other people in the studio.

"Let's have a meeting to finalize the content of the new version."

"Jizi? Why are you sitting so far away? Are you really planning on checking out the water dispenser?"

After everyone was seated, Ye Ming turned on the rear projection of the conference room and pointed at the PPT and explained:

"A new map is about to be opened on the continent of Teyvat, the Kingdom of Grass, Sumeru."

"This is the home turf of Aci and Nashida."

Hearing this, Ah Ci's eyes lit up:

"Is it finally our turn?"

But this excitement didn't last long, she showed a look of fear:

"There shouldn't be any scary plot, right?"

"No, don't worry, it's much more healing than Inazuma."

"..."

Ying frowned at being criticized without being named.

"Then on the Honkai side, it will soon be Otto's story, and Daigoose will also be one of the protagonists."

"I will work hard!"

"Then it's Mei's turn. The story of the paradise is about to begin."

"Really……"

Mei's expression was a little complicated.

She had only a vague memory of the promised land.

But she knew it was an experience that had a profound impact on her.

"What is paradise?" Kiana asked curiously.

"This is a story about thirteen people who failed to become heroes. Thirteen who chased fire..."

Before he could finish his words, Ye Ming's eyes suddenly trembled violently, and a strong feeling of dizziness rushed straight to the top of his head.

His breathing became more and more rapid, and cold sweat kept coming out of his forehead.

"what happened?"

Everyone also noticed that Ye Ming was different and cast concerned glances at him.

"The Thirteen Heroes Chasing Fire?"

Ye Ming did not hear the concern of others for him, not because there was something wrong with his hearing, but because his brain was working at a very fast speed and he had no time to care about other things.

"The Thirteen Heroes Who Chase the Fire?"

He kept repeating the noun, like a student facing an exam and constantly searching for knowledge points from his memory.

"Master Ye Ming, are you feeling unwell?"

Rita wiped the sweat off Ye Ming and gently rubbed his face with her delicate hands, which made him come to his senses.

"Oh... sorry... I had some palpitations just now, probably because of staying up late."

Ye Ming took Rita's black tea, took a sip to calm his mind, and then continued:

"Anyway, this is how the work is arranged, so just do what you need to do."

In fact, there were many other contents in Ye Ming’s PPT, but at the moment his mind was not on making games at all, so he ended his recollections hastily.

"Pado, Sakura, Eden, Grayshu, Mebius, Aponia..."

After everyone left, Ye Ming, sitting alone in the office, bit his fingers and thought about the people in his memory.

However, no matter how he counted or calculated, the final result was only twelve people.

"Did I remember it wrong? There were originally twelve people? Twelve Heroes?"

Ye Ming took a look at the PPT he had written, and all the descriptions about heroes were about the Thirteen Heroes.

Moreover, when I think about this matter, my first reaction is Thirteen Yingjie, and when I speak, I blurt out Thirteen Yingjie, and everything is logical.

"I've never considered the number twelve. Did I miss one?"

"But who could that person be? Dr. Mei? Did I forget to include her in the calculation?"

Ye Ming kept searching through his past memories, but the more he searched, the more he found that they didn't match.

It feels like there is something hanging around in front of your eyes every day, but when you really need it, you can't remember where it is.

Anxiety, annoyance, and irritability, these emotions were like placing a red-hot iron plate on the soles of Ye Ming's feet.

——Ye Ming, calm down.

——If you can’t remember, you can take a break from reading the chapter on Paradise.

—Aren't you going to tell Otto's story? Let's focus on that first.

"Okay, let's do this for now."

Ye Ming thought about it and felt that what the system said did make sense. Originally, he just wanted to give the Paradise a start in the current version and had no intention of telling the story in detail.

My head is a little unclear right now, so it's okay to just slow down and go after Otto.

"Let's send out the update notice first."

··········

[Every time Mi Factory releases some news, it causes an uproar. I am a little tired of it.]

[Yes, after experiencing the eternal burning of firewood, I feel that there will be no more sorrow or joy in this life]

[No matter what new news is released this time, I will not be surprised]

[+1, I'm already numb, how can I have so much emotion for it?]

——Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd will update the new version simultaneously.

【What the hell? real or fake? 】

[How many people are working overtime? ]

Although they said that they were no longer surprised by the news released by Ye Ming, after the trailer was released, it inevitably caused an uproar in the gaming circle.

To the extent that the incident itself has become the object of everyone's jokes.

"Oh, I feel like I can't have enough fun anymore."

After seeing the update preview, Alicia was both happy and worried.

"I wonder if there will be those cute girls again this time... woo..."

Before she finished her words, Alicia covered her long elf ears, as if she had received some message.

"Ye Ming has already started thinking about doing a story about Paradise?"

"I'm not ready yet. You asked him to hold off for a while, right?"

As if she had received a satisfactory answer, Alicia also smiled sweetly.

"Don't worry~~ From now on, I will work hard, and leave the matter of the paradise to me."

365. Otto: This is how I should be

"I have arranged my work for these days in advance, and please push off all other matters that are not on my schedule."

In the office on the top floor of Tianming Technology, Otto was arranging work for his nominal secretary, Karen.

"Wait a moment. I'm still searching for other people's appointments and canceling them one by one."

To be honest, Karen was not very suitable for this job. After working for so long, she was still a little clumsy and her work efficiency was not very high.

"If you could spend more time working instead of playing games...especially playing with Yaesakura, your progress wouldn't be so slow."

Otto is very tolerant and patient with Kallen, but he will not let go of any opportunity to criticize the relationship between Kallen and Yae Sakura.

"Wow... I've worked hard, too. At least I was serious during work hours and didn't slack off much."

Kallen felt a little aggrieved, while Otto showed his true colors:

"It seems that I need to use your off-get off work time. After work, don't think about running around. Just stay with me and learn more about my way of doing things. How about that?"

"But... I have an appointment with Sakura these days..."

"Karen... do you really want to see me angry?"

Otto interrupted Kallen and said unhappily:

"Before you said that Ying rarely came to see you, and you should go out with her. Now that she has settled down in this city, do you have to waste your time on her every day?"

"Aren't you the same?" Kallen pouted and said unconvincedly.
