[Good evening, my Lords.]
[It has only been one day since Girls Odyssey launched, and the dev team has already received a great deal of feedback from players.]
[First of all, we would like to thank you all for your support and valuable opinions.]
[Due to a mistake from the art department, many players expressed dissatisfaction with the game's graphics. The production team sincerely apologizes for this and promises to compensate all players with 10,000 Crystals.]
[At the same time, the team will focus on improving the game's visuals and combat feel, while also adding richer and more engaging events and gameplay, in hopes of bringing everyone a better experience.]
[Lastly, Timi Studio has also reached a collaboration agreement with a top-tier singer. In the upcoming version, we will be releasing new events and new characters, so please stay tuned.]
[Should any of you encounter problems in the game, you may contact Customer Support Lady at any time.]
[We humbly ask for your continued support as we work together toward a brighter future.]
——Timi Studio
The announcement had barely been posted before a flood of comments poured in.
Most were encouraging messages expressing support.
Of course, a few hot-headed players showed up to vent, but those comments quickly sank to the bottom.
Whether by coincidence or subtle guidance, the comment section was soon filled with speculation about this so-called "top-tier singer."
[Top-tier singer?? Could it be Eden…? (excited)]
[Wait, what?! Eden's going to collab with Girls Odyssey?]
[Eden played Honkai Impact 3rd before. Since Girls Odyssey is the same type of game, she might like it too. Considering it's a collab with a giant like Penguin, it's definitely possible!]
[Wow! If Eden really collaborates with Penguin, then I'm 100% sticking with this game!]
[If they make a Valkyrie based on Eden, then I absolutely have to play!]
[…Honestly, I don't want Eden to collab with Girls Odyssey… the art style's way too weird!]
[Agreed! If they make a Valkyrie modeled after Eden… damn, that'd just ruin our angel Eden's image!]
[Now that you mention it… I'm getting nervous too…]
[Stop guessing, guys. It's not Eden. Go check Yu Weiwei's Weibo and you'll understand.]
That comment was quickly upvoted to the top, and soon enough, netizens swarmed to Yu Weiwei's Weibo page.
Both Girls Odyssey players and Honkai Impact 3rd fans were equally curious.
Although Yu Weiwei was nowhere near Eden's level in terms of fame, voice, or looks…
She was still a second-tier singer.
And so, under the collective gaze of countless netizens, Yu Weiwei finally made it onto the trending list that very night.
This made Yu Weiwei ecstatic.
Though she was a second-tier singer, there were countless stars in Dragon Country. Making it onto the trending list was no easy feat.
Yet thanks to this collaboration with Penguin Games, just one Weibo post of hers managed to push her onto the hot search within two hours.
The result not only left her pleasantly surprised, but also made countless third- and fourth-tier celebrities envious.
While the internet was buzzing with heated debates about the Girls Odyssey x celebrity collab, Mo Li didn't pay it much attention.
For one, he never took Girls Odyssey seriously.
For another, his studio had just welcomed two new beautiful girls.
Kamisato Ayaka.
And Yae Miko…
The moment Mo Li laid eyes on them, he was struck with surprise.
He hadn't expected the representatives from Sakura Nation who came to discuss the agency rights for Honkai Impact 3rd with miHoYo… would turn out to be these two.
"Pleased to meet you, Mr. Mo Li. My name is Kamisato Ayaka~"
She wore a pale blue dress, her snow-white hair tied back into a ponytail. Straight bangs framed her face, a beauty mark by her lips, delicate features exuding the elegance of a true noble lady.
Aside from her outfit and hairstyle, she looked almost identical to her in-game counterpart.
"It's an honor to finally meet you, Boss Mo Li. I am Yae Miko~"
The pink-haired beauty was equally stunning. As she spoke, her enchanting eyes curved into a teasing smile that was utterly bewitching.
Perhaps it was because of Genshin Impact, but Mo Li couldn't help feeling that there was always a mischievous, fox-like cunning hidden in her gaze.
"Welcome, please have a seat." Mo Li poured them each a cup of tea before smiling. "I didn't expect you two to speak Dragon Country Mandarin so well, and with such perfect accents."
Yae Miko covered her mouth with a soft laugh. "Ayaka and I both adore Dragon Country culture. Whenever we have free time, we study its traditions and language."
"In fact, we even speak in Dragon Country Mandarin when chatting with each other~"
"Heh~ Then since you've traveled so far, you must take the chance to experience Dragon Country's sights for yourselves."
"In the past, I definitely would've set aside time for sightseeing…" Yae Miko's fox-like eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled:
"But right now… I find your studio far more intriguing."
Kamisato Ayaka also smiled and nodded. "To think that the Valkyries from Honkai Impact 3rd are all your studio's employees… when I first met Rita, I was absolutely stunned for quite some time~"
"Rita, huh…" At the mention of her name, a gleam flickered in Yae Miko's eyes.
"I must say, your studio truly has extraordinary talent. When I discussed the agency agreement with Miss Rita, her words were flawless—without a single loophole."
"Exactly! I've never met someone as formidable as Miss Rita before. Miko and I couldn't gain the slightest advantage against her…"
At the thought of Rita, Ayaka's mind conjured up the image of that graceful, composed, and meticulous maid.
Thanks to Honkai Impact 3rd's excellent performance and unique anime style, there was no shortage of potential publishers in Sakura Nation.
Which was why, during negotiations with Rita, the initiative lay entirely in her hands.
Even with both Yae Miko and Ayaka together, they couldn't win even the smallest concession…
It was the first time the two had ever been at such a disadvantage in a business negotiation.
Though they had dealt with many tough talks before, none had been as difficult as negotiating with Rita.
Hearing their words, Mo Li simply chuckled wryly.
Well, if it was Rita… that was only to be expected.
