Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

But apart from that, this PV still reveals key information.

In the Demon God quest storyline that was opened in the first half of version 1.1, the Traveler, Paimon, and Astraea came to Liyue Harbor and happened to catch up with the Immortal Summoning Ceremony, so they went to watch the ceremony.

Then he witnessed the fall of Emperor Rock.

Of course, this is not surprising, as it was revealed in the Footprints PV that the Rock God would be murdered.

However, what happened next was still unexpected.

Axue didn't expect that the Traveler would temporarily reach a cooperation with the Fatui's executive officer.

Although she is not a lady but a young man from the Eleventh Seat, players generally do not have a good impression of the Fatui.

But there was no way. Because of his escape, the Traveler was suspected of assassinating the God of Rock, and Astraea was also implicated and wanted. Especially since Astraea was the candidate knight of the God of Water, if he didn't clear his name quickly, it might even lead to a major conflict between Liyue and Fontaine.

Therefore, in order to clear his name, the traveler had to cooperate with the young master to find those hidden three-eyed and five-manifested immortals.

Then, he had a story of bidding farewell to his long-lost body with a guest from the Hall of Rebirth named Zhongli. After experiencing a series of ridiculous stories such as Quan Yao, coconut sheep, and half-immortal beasts, the three travelers were invited by Ningguang from Tianquan Star - the first half of the storyline of version 1.1 ended here.

The second half of the story has not yet begun, but the card pool for the second half has been confirmed.

The card pool in the first half of 1.1 is Keqing, one of the seven stars. Her popularity at this stage is unquestionable. Just as many big guys will spend money to get Astraea in the permanent pool, there are also many who will specifically get Keqing in the permanent pool.

Based on the popularity of the two, miHoYo gave Keqing a UP in the first half of 1.1, and also updated a permanent pool rule, which is that as long as you draw times in the permanent pool, you can choose any permanent five-star character.

Keqing only has one chance to enter the UP pool, and can only be selected once in the permanent pool. Therefore, under this circumstance, the revenue of Genshin Impact once again topped the list of countries around the world.

Then, now the UP five-star character in the second half of 1.1 has been confirmed, and that is Childe Tartaglia.

With the opening of the Childe pool, Liyue's Demon God mission will also enter its final chapter.

However, no one knows how the story will develop next.

However, as the PV played, two key pieces of information emerged.

"Is Rock God not dead?"

Also, Astraea...what kind of plot will happen next? It really makes people look forward to it!

Chapter 23 Meeting

The opening of the Liyue region brought a huge surprise to all players.

It can even be said to be shocking.

In China, the popularity of Genshin Impact has reached a peak, but abroad, players' enthusiasm is even higher than in China.

This has brought huge popularity and buzz to Genshin Impact, as well as a huge group of new players.

Of course, it also brought in huge cash flow.

"Without even having a closed beta test, we have already achieved huge profits in just the first month of service launch."

At the meeting, MiHoYo's General Manager Fu Xuan said seriously:

"This month, with the opening of the Liyue region, the number of registered players worldwide is growing rapidly. It's conceivable that over the next two years, until Qiyana's talent runs out, Genshin Impact will continue to generate a large amount of liquidity for our company."

“Who would run out of ideas?!”

Kiana objected loudly, but when she saw everyone else nodding in agreement with Fu Xuan's words, she couldn't help but look angry.

"Don't you guys trust me?!"

"Then why don't you show us something we can trust?" Fu Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. "I asked you to explain how the main storyline after Xumi should be planned, but you're completely clueless. You're really enjoying digging holes. You're saying Xumi is a godless kingdom like Mondstadt... Why don't you explain why there are no gods on Xumi? Tell me exactly how you plan to plan the Xumi storyline? I asked Mei and the others to help you plan it, but no matter what plan we made, you said it was wrong, saying that wasn't the storyline you wanted. Why don't you explain clearly what kind of storyline you want!?"

If it weren't for the fact that miHoYo was able to make such a leap forward to where it is today, and achieved such huge profits in less than a year from the establishment of the company to the production of the game to the launch of the game, it would be mostly due to Kiana. In addition, Fu Xuan's fortune teller unexpectedly predicted that the game still had broad prospects. Fu Xuan even wanted to kick Kiana out of the planning team.

I have never seen such a game producer in my life. Who the hell has ever seen a game producer who doesn't consider how to fill the hole before digging it?

Fu Xuan felt embarrassed when she saw the well-reasoned speculations about the plot of Genshin Impact on the Internet. She was too embarrassed to say, "Sorry, the idiots here haven't thought about the next plot and character settings at all" - and you still want her to trust Kiana?

Did she trust him?!

Most people who watched the Footprints PV would probably think that miHoYo already had a complete plot plan, even the ending was already planned, and they were just waiting for production - but who would have thought that even the game developer himself couldn't understand the riddles in the PV!?

"Leaving aside other things, how about you at least establish the character of the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine? Can you explain exactly what kind of role the Supreme Bishop plays?"

Fu Xuan looked at Kiana very seriously and asked.

To be honest, the rest are things you will have to worry about later.

Things will work out when the time comes. We'll talk about the future later. Maybe things will be resolved naturally by then.

——But the matter of the Supreme Bishop of Fontaine is what Fu Xuan wants to find out most now.

It's not just Fu Xuan.

Hearing Fu Xuan's question, Alicia, Bronya, and Jingliu looked directly at Kiana, wanting to get an answer.

Well, there's certainly a reason for that.

And their reasons are quite similar.

It's all because I'm embarrassed to tell others.

That is - they all dreamed of the game character, the Supreme Bishop.

I won’t go into detail about the dream, but it was a very memorable one, one that I couldn’t forget upon waking up like any other normal dream.

Why do I dream about a game character?

——No one thinks much about this kind of thing.

After all, this kind of thing seems quite normal.

Although I was a little surprised that I would have this kind of dream, and I was also a little surprised that I liked this type of 2D boy, but that's all.

I didn't resist at all, after all, it was just a dream, but... I wanted to enrich the character of the Supreme Bishop and the image of the man in my dreams. This is a very normal idea, right?

——But this Kiana girl actually knows nothing about the character she created.

She didn’t even know whether the Archbishop of Fontaine was black or white, and she hadn’t even decided on his name yet!

"Let it be. Don't ask any more questions. I have my own plans. You will know them later."

"What's your name?"

"Woo..."

See, that's it.

So, Fu Xuan turned his head away and stopped looking at Kiana, and continued the previous topic.

"In short, before Genshin Impact collapses, it should still be able to bring us a terrifying amount of net profit. The global game market is currently over 600 billion, with over 50 billion circulating every month. Genshin Impact captured one-fifth of this market last month, and this share is still growing. At the same time, Genshin Impact is also rapidly expanding the market. Therefore, over the next two years, our company conservatively estimates that we will be able to generate at least tens of billions of working capital each month, enough to start our next plan."

"A subsidiary?"

Jingliu touched his chin and looked at the empty main seat in the conference room.

"Where's Qingque? Why isn't she, the CEO, at such an important meeting?"

Fu Xuan said expressionlessly, "I caught her at the mahjong parlor yesterday. I've put her in solitary confinement for reflection and she hasn't been released yet. Don't worry about her. Let's just have our own meeting."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Alicia said in surprise:

"But when I just came here, I saw Qingque entering a mahjong parlor?"

Fu Xuan's face darkened instantly, and he immediately turned and left the meeting room: "You guys keep the car open for now, I'll go get our CEO."

Chapter 24 Condensing Light

The three people who were invited to the Qun Yu Pavilion went through a lot of trouble because they didn't know how to get to the floating island in the sky. Finally, with the help of Keqing, they arrived at the Qun Yu Pavilion exhausted and met Ningguang of Tianquan Star.

After greeting Ying, Ningguang turned her attention to Astraea.

"You are Astraea, right? I've heard your Supreme Bishop of Fontaine mention you before."

"Eh? Master Ning, Master Ningguang, have you met the Supreme Bishop?"

Facing the gaze of Ningguang, the powerful Tianquanxing of Liyue, Astraea seemed a little timid.

"Not long ago, the Supreme Bishop came to Liyue and discussed a business deal with me."

"Business? What business?"

"It's something called a computer. I haven't seen it in person, so I don't know much about it. But the conditions offered by the Supreme Bishop were so generous, so I agreed to become their agent in Liyue."

“????”

“????”

“????”

There were a lot of question marks in Monkey’s live broadcast room, and he himself was also a little confused.

Not only that, in the plot, Ying also seemed very surprised.

The options dialog appears.

"Are there still computers in this world?"

"Computer? Is that what I know?"

"Hey everyone, big news! After watching Mondstadt and Liyue, I always thought Teyvat was set in ancient times, but who would have thought they even had computers? Although I didn't feel right when I heard the term Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences in Mondstadt, I didn't expect Fontainebleau actually had a 'science' academy!"

The monkey marveled at this and chose the second one.

"So, Fontaine is a country pursuing a technological path? This is very interesting and very curious. I can't wait a second longer in 1.1. When will Fontaine be open?"

"But speaking of which, the protagonist is indeed a traveler who has traveled to many worlds. He is very knowledgeable."

While the monkey was speaking, in the plot, Ningguang was looking at Ying in surprise.

"You who have returned from Jueyunjian, do you know what a computer is?"

"It's something... difficult to explain."

"I see. It seems we'll have to wait until the goods arrive to find out... Of course, this isn't important right now."

Ningguang walked towards the edge of the platform, looking down at the mountains and Liyue Harbor below, and said softly:

"Right now is not the time to think about business. Traveler, I'll call you that too. I know you've had a lot of dealings with the immortals, so it's understandable that you distrust us Seven Stars. So, I invited you here this time to clear up some misunderstandings."

Ying looked at Ningguang's back and asked softly, "Keqing said that Qixing wouldn't harm the Emperor?"

"Of course, we can't do that, and we have no reason to do so. Of course, we don't have the courage or strength to do so. You should have heard of the Demon War, right?"

“I just have a vague impression of this word.”

"There were many demons in the world, and there was a long war that ended only two thousand years ago. During that time, countless lives were lost and blood was shed. In the end, only seven victors remained on the continent of Teyvat. They founded kingdoms and city-states on the ruins of the defeated, and thus began the Age of the Seven Gods."

Ningguang pointed into the distance.

"Do you see the Solitary Cloud Pavilion? That's not a natural formation, but a massive rock spear cast by the Emperor during the war. Beneath the rock spear, the Emperor's defeated generals, the former demon gods who failed to achieve the throne of the Seven Gods, are suppressed."

Ningguang sighed softly.

"Let's not talk about whether we, the Seven Stars, have the strength to assassinate such a powerful emperor. Even if we have the possibility through assassination, why would we do it?"

"Want to take complete control?"

"Don't want to be dominated by gods anymore?"

It made no difference which one he chose, so the monkey chose the second one.

Ningguang laughed helplessly. "You really don't know. Not only do demon gods die, but even the Seven Rulings of the Midgard have changed over the past two thousand years. The Emperor's passing is a disaster unimaginable to Liyue, but the Seven Gods of Teyvat will not collapse. The next Rock God will appear sooner or later. If it's truly about power, then why would we assassinate the Rock Emperor, who only descends once a year, and instead welcome an unknown god?"

Having said this, Ningguang turned around and looked at Astralia.

"Miss Astraea should be very clear about this, because the current god of Fontaine is already the second generation of the Water God."

Ying looked at Astralia.

Astraea instinctively shrank her neck, then nodded timidly. "Yes, although I have reservations about the Seven Gods system in Teyvat collapsing, what Lady Ningguang said is correct. As long as the throne is not destroyed, even if the Seven Gods die, new Seven Gods will be born. The Seven Gods system will not be vacant simply because of the death of a god. And so far, no one or god in this world has been able to shake the rules of Sky Island and destroy the throne of the Seven Gods."

"Foreshadowing, foreshadowing, my friends, here comes the important foreshadowing!" Big Brother Ma shouted in surprise, "As long as the throne is destroyed, there will be a gap in the system of the Seven Gods. In the future, there is no doubt that one of the Seven Gods will have his throne completely destroyed. I just don't know which god it will be."

"Anyway, take notes. This foreshadowing will definitely come in handy later."

On the other side, Ting Yun, the head of MiHoYo's public relations department, who was also watching Da Ma Ge's live broadcast and observing the players' reactions, twitched his lips and covered his face with his hands, unable to bear to watch.

What a bullshit foreshadowing. Kiana only cares about digging holes without burying them. I wonder what she will do when the time comes.
