Supreme Bishop of Fontaine

At the end of the scene, Longhua is floating in the sky, and the dazzling golden sun becomes a halo behind her that adds to her brilliance.

With his right hand raised high, the oil-paper umbrella slowly transformed from bottom to top in the white fluorescent light into a gorgeous two-handed sword emitting flowing light.

Long Hua clenched it with her petite and beautiful right hand and looked down. From the camera's perspective, it was not possible to see who she was looking down at, but only that she was looking down at herself.

And even in this condescending gaze, she slowly said in a voice that was unprecedentedly cold:

"Outsider, pay the price you deserve!"

The close-up images are dazzling, and the chaotic words are frightening.

The screen slowly went black, and the two big words "Original God" appeared on the black screen.

Then, the screen lit up again, and the scene of Longhua standing on a cliff shrouded in clouds and mist came into view.

No one could have imagined that she would hear a vague and fragile whisper from her mouth:

"Did I do something wrong?"

And just like that, the PV ended.

"What's going on? I'm wanted again? And this time I'm in jail?"

"No way? Someone's going to die in the next plot? Is this going to be a big deal?"

"Am I going to be killed by the Sect Master?"

"That's impossible. If the protagonist dies, the game will end, right? There has to be a twist."

"I feel so sorry for the Sect Master!"

"Oh my god, I can't stand this 1.7 for even a second!"

"Why bother playing card games after the island plot? Why not just start the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

"Don't say that. Yu-Gi-Oh! is pretty fun, it's like a new game."

“That’s a new game, okay?”

"This is a very informative PV."

When the players were at their climax, Qingque couldn't help but marvel.

Of course, she was pretending.

Although she usually doesn't know the plot of the next version in order to avoid spoilers when playing, she is the voice actor of Longhua, so this is the only time she knows the plot.

Fu Xuan said calmly, "I believe the players can already guess that Longhua will be entering the card pool in the next version."

"Great!" Qingque clapped her hands excitedly. "The wait for Longhua is finally over. Now all that's left is waiting for Shenli, the Bishop, and Fufu!"

"Longhua will not be launching Legendary quests for the time being, as this main storyline chapter is equivalent to Longhua's Legendary quests. The same applies to the new characters that will enter the card pool after Longhua."

As Kiana spoke, another PV began to play.

"When the holder of the Eye of God dies, the Eye of God will also lose its light."

"To discover the strongest and to restore the light of the Eye of God, I held the Southern Cross Martial Arts Tournament."

"Your semi-final opponent is unknown, but he's a dark horse."

"The Eye of God is missing?"

“Whenever a storm comes, the sounds of nature become noisy.”

"The wind is coming."

"Yunyin... Yanming!!!"

"If the seven gods had their own standards in their hearts and gave the Eyes of God to all living beings, does the God of Thunder now have doubts about this behavior?"

"One day, I will get the answer to 'eternity' from her."

"The sea route to Inazuma is very difficult, with wind and rain roaring all the time."

"The endless thunderstorm ahead may be your most difficult journey."

"Oh my god, oh my god, is Inazuma finally coming?"

"There's no 1.9 version. Will it be Inazuma after Shan Hai Jing is released?"

"Okay, okay, okay, okay."

"This Inazuma character is so cool!"

"I'm now looking forward to both Classic of Mountains and Seas and Inazuma. Kiana, you're such a fool!"

Qingque complained loudly.

In response to this, Kiana smiled and said: "Whether it is Shan Hai Jing or Inazuma, they are all carefully designed by the production team. I hope they will not disappoint the players."

"Before we get disappointed, I want to ask a question on behalf of the players."

Qingque said seriously:

"I only contribute money. My only other job is to voice Long Hua. I don't participate in the production of the game. Therefore, apart from being a boss, I'm just a pure player. So, my question can definitely represent the majority of players - are these two characters worth drawing?"

"Cough! Cough!"

Fu Xuan coughed loudly twice and glared at Qingque. Don’t you know that you can’t say things that will induce players to draw cards?

Qingque was full of questions, she really didn't know.

As for Kiana...

"Of course it's worth smoking. Whoever doesn't smoke it will regret it."

Well, she doesn't know either.

But the next second.

"Longhua is so beautiful! Manye is so handsome! I'm definitely going to smoke them both!"

Fu Xuan sighed, but felt relieved.

Forget it, as long as they are not worth drawing based on the mechanism.

"Anyway, in the upcoming 1.8 version, Genshin Impact will release two main storylines and two new characters..."

As the preview live broadcast slowly comes to an end, the opening of Shan Hai Jing is finally just around the corner.

However, in this preview live broadcast, what really caused a huge sensation was another piece of news.

Huge news that shook the whole world.

The first thing that comes to mind is naturally the fact that "Genshin Impact" directly launched a global event in reality.

Players can form their own teams and register to participate in the competition in various cities around the world. The player team that wins the regional championship will receive a prize of 100 million US dollars and the qualification to participate in the national competition.

In the national competitions of each country, the top three teams will qualify for the global competition and each will receive a prize ranging from 1000 million, 400 million, and 100 million US dollars. At the same time, teams participating in the national competition will receive a prize of 30 US dollars for each game.

As for the team that wins the championship in the global competition, it will receive the global champion trophy and a prize of 4000 million US dollars. The second and third place will receive the runner-up and third place trophies and prizes of 2000 million and million US dollars respectively.

In addition, teams participating in the global competition will receive a prize of US$100 million for each game.

This is undoubtedly a global gaming event that only miHoYo can organize, and it is a groundbreaking feat.

First of all, only miHoYo is wealthy enough to spend so much money. This way of spending money is not aimed at making money at all.

Secondly, only a game like Genshin Impact, which has topped the list in dozens of countries and has hundreds of millions of players worldwide, can host such a global event.

Genshin Impact is a mini-game, but it is also an independent game. However, although it is an independent game, it complements Genshin Impact and can have a superimposed effect.

Finally, for this event, miHoYo also brought out a trump card that it had prepared for a long time.

A holographic projection gaming platform secretly developed by miHoYo.

All game competitions will have the game screen projected onto the platform in real time through the game platform.

However, due to material limitations, this gaming platform cannot be reduced in size. The smallest platform is 30 meters long and wide, and cannot be sold on a large scale.

But as a game competition, this is just right.

This time, the event will be like a basketball game, allowing the audience who have purchased tickets to truly see a real canyon battle, as well as holographic stereo projections of various Genshin characters.

In comparison, another piece of news, that is, the news of the actual sales of Yu-Gi-Oh cards, was actually completely suppressed.

Of course, despite this, no one ignored it.

Because it was also announced in this live broadcast that after the Genshin Impact Global Tournament is over, the Duel Tournament will begin, and the competition will also be conducted on a holographic projection game platform.

Unlike the Genshin Impact Tournament, which requires a team to register, the Duel Tournament can be registered individually, which is definitely a major event for card players.

Oh yes, although the name is Yu-Gi-Oh, just like Genshin Impact, the Yu-Gi-Oh cards in Genshin Impact are all taken from the continent of Teyvat. Ye just slightly "borrowed" the rules and certain card effects of the original Yu-Gi-Oh.

In short, whether it is Genshin Impact or Yu-Gi-Oh!, the competitions of these two games will take the IP value of Genshin Impact to a higher level. Even if the plot collapses at that time, Genshin Impact can still rely on these two games to survive - this is the real thought of the girls at miHoYo.

However, they also have to admire Kiana. She obviously didn't even consider the consequences when laying the foreshadowing, but she is really good at developing games!

Of course, it can also cause problems for people.

When Kiana proposed to plan to hold a competition, the girls were relatively calm. After all, the game Genshin Impact is indeed enough to support a competition. At the beginning, they thought that this would increase the IP value of Genshin Impact.

However, when Kiana proposed to develop a gaming platform that could holographically project gaming content in real time, everyone was stunned.

You wouldn't think of something like this on a whim, would you? So, do we even dare to think of something so high-tech?!

——You really dare to think so.

As a game producer at miHoYo, Kiana has always been responsible for setting questions, and those questions are completely devoid of common sense. As for how to complete the questions, that is other people's business and has nothing to do with Kiana.

This is how miHoYo has always been.

And this time...miHoYo still came through like this.

Black Tower: "This time it's a bit difficult."

Ruan Mei: "Let me think about it, it seems that there is a solution."

Don't you two feel like you're wasting your talents by working at miHoYo to make games?

When a finished product was successfully produced under the leadership of the two, everyone looked at them in amazement.

Then they thought about themselves and suddenly calmed down again.

It's okay, it seems normal.

MiHoYo is so free and wonderful. They can use the company's working capital at will and do whatever they want. Apart from Kiana giving them some work from time to time, there is simply no place more joyful than this.

Besides, what Kiana does also adds fun to life.

In short, thanks to Kiana's sudden inspiration, the girls from miHoYo overcame a major technical difficulty and shocked the whole world.

Under the bombardment of this news, the opening of the 1.8 version of Shan Hai Jing and the two main storylines seem somewhat insignificant.

——But this was also within Ye’s expectations.

——Of course, on the other hand, it was also unexpected.

When Ye decided to use a card game similar to Yu-Gi-Oh to expand the IP value of Genshin Impact, he was wondering if he could come up with the black technology of holographic projection like in the Yu-Gi-Oh animation, and he even planned to exchange it with popularity.

In the end, it was never used at all. There are real big guys over at miHoYo!

But regardless, it doesn't matter.

Even if the popularity is temporarily suppressed, the essence of Genshin Impact has not changed, and this popularity will eventually be added to the game Genshin Impact.

Ye was not in a hurry. He just logged into Longhua's account again when the time came.

Genshin Impact version 1.8 has officially begun.

This time, he will act in person.

Chapter 80: Mountains, Seas, and Stars (I)

"I don't know what Longhua wants to talk to us about, but since Longhua has something to do, we can only put our plan to go to Inazuma on hold for now."

"Not urgent."

Walking on the streets of Liyue, Ying shook her head after hearing Paimon's words.

"Besides, Longhua is a demon god. Maybe she has a way to help us get to Inazuma."

"That's right, let's go there quickly."

The plot animation ends here. Dingdang controls Themis to take off directly and follows the mission instructions to reach Longhua’s residence.
