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

"And I didn't die completely those times."

——You are not dead yet, and the people around you are scared to death by you.

——Do you know how many times you have been pronounced dead, your heart has stopped beating, or your vital signs have disappeared?

——Just the incident with Ji Zi, there were two such incidents. The words “go home” you said to Ji Zi almost became your last words, and there were several more such incidents afterwards.

"Do you still help me with statistics on this kind of thing?"

Ye Ming scratched his head.

“But I really don’t have any impression of it.”

——I hope that UP host can release a rescue compilation of you one day.

"No, no, no, that kind of thing won't pass muster. It's bloody just thinking about it."

···············

That evening, the news that Mihoyo had released a new video quickly spread across the Internet.

After all, it is the "animation giant" that produced Queen's Descend, The Last Lesson, and Meteor in the Sky.

As long as the Mihoyo account updates the video, even cloud players who don’t play games will come over to take a look.

[By the way, the main storyline of the game hasn't been updated? Is there a new animated short? ]

[Wait, this isn't Honkai Impact 3rd! This is... Genshin Impact? ]

The title of the video is "Genshin Impact: Explore the Continent of Teyvat with Paimon"

[Genshin Impact...Teyvat Continent...A new game? ]

[Wow, Honkai Impact 3rd is at its peak, and you dare to release a new game? ]

[Is he planning to divide the entire cake by himself? How cruel!]

Before the players could express too much emotion, the video had already begun.

In the picture, a cute girl with a two-head body came to the camera in a flying posture.

"My name is Paimon, traveler, let me be your guide!"

[So cute! It feels like a doll]

[I really want to bring a Paimon home to raise]

[Mihoyo still has the same high technical capabilities as always]

In addition to the visual effects brought by high-precision rendering, Paimon's flying movements are also extremely smooth.

This little guy seems to be unscrupulously showing off his cuteness and exquisiteness in front of the camera, but the audience knows very well...

What Paimeng really demonstrated was Mihoyo’s technical strength.

In comparison, Tencent's "The Last Days of a Girl" can't even zoom in, and when you open the character interface, there are only 2D portraits, which feels a bit like a public execution.

"In Teyvat, you can go on adventures with your friends~!"

When the game enters the actual screen, the first thing players see is the squad mode of 4 people. They can also switch characters back and forth like Honkai Impact rd.

Amber fired a rocket that set the surroundings on fire, and after that, Wendy created a gust of wind...

With the appearance of the word "diffusion", the originally sporadic flames suddenly turned into a raging fire.

[Fuck! You can play like this! ]

[Wait! Isn't this person Wendy? ]

[After dying in Honkai Impact 3rd, I came to work in Genshin Impact]

[Woohoo! I finally found a good family for Wendy.]

"This is the elemental reaction. There are seven elements in Teyvat, and each element has a special reaction. Traveler, you must explore it carefully."

[Seven elements... these need to be matched, dear~~]

[The battle system is about to change! It feels very playable]

[Wait... Could it be that Ye Ming's elemental power comes from here? ]

[You mentioned that and it just occurred to me that the wind element, rock element, and lightning element... are all powers that Ye Ming has used.]

[So Ye Ming has also been to Teyvat?! ]

The players were still discussing Ye Ming's affairs, and new game scenes were presented in the video.

Swimming, rock climbing, wings of wind, as well as numerous puzzles and treasure chests, make players who have never been exposed to the open world surprise their eyes.

[This so-called open world is too awesome, the map is so big! And you don’t even need to load the map?! ]

[Completely different from Honkai Impact 3]

[But to be honest, when it comes to the excitement of battle, Honkai is still better]

[The original God focuses on fun, while Honkai Impact 3rd focuses on excitement, and their positioning is different]

【It’s because they are different that they are awesome! 】

At first, players thought that Mihoyo was going to take advantage of the popularity of Honkai Impact 3rd to release a derivative game with the same IP to attract players to spend money.

Who would have thought that it was a completely new work with completely different gameplay and genre.

"There are seven kingdoms on the continent of Teyvat. Traveler, if you want to find your loved ones, we still have a long way to go."

At the end of the video, Paimon stretched out his hand, as if trying to grab the audience outside the screen.

And when the first person's hand reached out and took Paimon's little hand... the scene suddenly began to switch at a very fast speed!

The medieval-style Wind City of Mondstadt, the ancient city of Liyue with a strong Dragon Kingdom style, and the oppressive Inazuma, which seems to be Sumeru growing in the forest...

The seven major kingdoms appear one by one, with distinct characteristics, as if hinting at one bizarre story after another.

The emergence of a game of higher quality than Honkai Impact 3 has made players revel in it. However, amidst the joy, a voice of worry has also spread among the player community:

[So, is Mihoyo going to give up on Honkai Impact 3rd? ]

88. Getting pissed off by a dog competitor.jpg (4 more)

"If the game promotion is not good, people will criticize it. Now that it is so successful, people still question it."

Hearing that more and more people began to question whether Mihoyo had given up on Honkai Impact 3rd and invested all manpower and resources into Genshin Impact, Ye Ming also had a headache.

Fortunately, all the seeds planted before have blossomed and borne fruit at this moment.

In an interview, Eden publicly stated that he would sing the two theme songs of Honkai Impact 3rd, which directly pushed the topic of Honkai Impact 3rd to the top of the hot searches.

While countless people were shouting the joy of both fans, the voices of Mihoyo focusing on Genshin Impact and abandoning Honkai Impact 3rd were becoming smaller and smaller.

"We need to give all Honkai players another shot in the arm."

Although he was clearly in an advantageous position, Ye Ming was still thinking about ending the game.

Because of the players' doubts this time, Ye Ming did feel a little sad.

As the studio's rising work, it is now reduced to fertilizer for new games. What will the players who love this game think?

Therefore, Ye Ming intends to use practical actions to completely suppress this argument.

He logged into his official account and posted information on all social media platforms:

“Honkai Impact 3rd is ready for a graphical revolution, and will have the same expressiveness as Genshin Impact.”

"What restrains us from doing this is not our determination to invest our heart and soul into Honkai Impact 3rd, but your phone."

Improving the picture quality is not a difficult task for Ye Ming, but with the same visual performance, an action game like Honkai Impact 3rd will definitely require more configuration.

Especially Bronya, this troublesome girl. Once she fires, the frame rate drops severely.

[I knew MiHoYo would not abandon us! ]

[In order to vent our anger, they sacrificed the plan to the heavens. Is there any need to doubt it? ]

[I understand. It turns out that it was not Genshin Impact that suppressed the development of Honkai Impact 3rd, but my mobile phone]

[I will smash my Nokia and replace it with the latest model "Miguowei"]

[Smash Nokia? Calm down! Do you want to cause the fourth collapse? ! ]

In addition to the players' self-reconciliation, Ye Ming's remarks also caused a storm in the mobile phone market.

For a time, all mobile phone manufacturers promoted the ability to run Honkai Impact 3 smoothly as a technical indicator.

The frame rate when the special effects are fully turned on, the heat level of the body under high special effects, the battery life of continuous gaming...

Invisibly, a massive publicity campaign was launched for Honkai Impact 3rd.

"Ye Ming, how much did you spend on this advertising cooperation with the mobile phone manufacturer?"

"Cooperation? Spending money?"

Ye Ming was confused by Keqing's question.

"I didn't do anything?"

"..."

Seeing such an amazing marketing method, Keqing, who read the original script, had only one sentence in her mind:

"Come on, come on, Yuhengxing, you do it."

·············

"Genshin Impact will be launched in two days. Tencent can't wait to see what happens?"

The arguments about Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3 competing for resources had already been completely wiped out by Ye Ming.

Unexpectedly, after disappearing for three or four days, this statement inexplicably reappeared.

Moreover, the people who sent these messages all used very consistent language, and their IDs were a random combination of classic numbers and English.

"I don't know what happened to their Girl's Last Law Record."

Ye Ming had been so busy these days that he almost forgot about this incident.

Now that he finally had some free time, Ye Ming simply downloaded the game and played it.

"Let me see where the story is going."

Using technology to replace the sealed magic, the girls fought bloody battles against the dragon. Ye Ming was very optimistic about this story at the beginning.

"..."

"..."

"What the hell?!"

After completing the latest main storyline, Ye Ming had an expression as if he had eaten a Nine-Turn Large Intestine that retained some of its flavor.

"No, with such a good story background, why would someone write something like this?!"

The epic war, the heroic journey, the passing of the torch that Ye Ming expected... none of them appeared.

All the stories are very childish. When entering the battlefield, the protagonists are like they are on a picnic, killing and burning along the way with laughter.

The dragon army that caused countless sacrifices in the background was easily defeated by the protagonists after they arrived.

Because the protagonists are all gifted, have superhuman combat powers, and possess the strongest golden god bloodline of ancient times, they are destined to become saviors.

So far, Ye Ming could still barely accept it. As a refreshing novel about Long Aotian, many people would indeed like it.

But the subsequent development made him a little unbearable...

After the protagonists awakened and upgraded, they no longer used the power of technology, but began to use all kinds of cool magic.

The reason is that their ancient blood contains a large amount of magic power. For a time, all those who used technological power became supporting roles, and the war depended entirely on the protagonists' gorgeous magic.

"You have denied all of humanity's efforts, struggles, sacrifices, and heritage over the past five hundred years!!"

Ye Ming probably understood that this was the Tencent screenwriter's attempt to create a feeling of uniqueness, by contrasting the protagonist with ordinary people to highlight his strength and create a sense of excitement.

These are all classic routines in textbooks, and it is normal for well-educated Tencent employees to make up stories like this.

But the script and the background setting of the story are so incompatible!

"Could it be that... the people who wrote the background story and the people who are responsible for the subsequent main plot are not the same group?"

With such a huge contrast between the past and the present, I think there is only this one possibility.
