"The download numbers were quite impressive, but... the later data was less than ideal."

Zhao Wenbo glanced at the backend data and found that the number of players remaining was pitifully low.

After these days of build-up, Honkai Impact 3's popularity in China is now unstoppable.

Therefore, he did not have the delusion of defeating Honkai Impact 3rd as soon as the game launched.

But... the data shouldn't be that much different from Honkai Impact 3rd, right...?

Only one in ten people spent more than half an hour there?

"What went wrong?"

Zhao Yi scratched his cheek, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Most of the players' feedback... is that the graphics aren't very polished and the art style is a bit strange..."

"Visuals?" Upon hearing Zhao Yi's words, Zhao Wenbo's expression immediately turned cold: "Call the art team leader over here!"

A moment later, a bald man ran over looking nervous.

"Mr. Zhao..."

"Tell me, what happened?"

The bald man looked worried: "Mr. Zhao, I can assure you that the character modeling is absolutely no worse than miHoYo's."

"Then tell me, why is almost all the player feedback about graphics issues?"

"This..." the bald man said helplessly, "It's a rendering issue..."

"Initially, we assumed that miHoYo was using the same rendering technology, but when we tested it, we discovered the problem... and by then, the game was almost ready to launch..."

After listening to the bald man's words, Zhao Wenbo finally suppressed his anger.

This is not the fault of the art team; after all, even he hadn't expected this.

"Go back now. You guys need to work a little harder lately and see if you can adjust the art style a bit."

"As for whether new rendering technologies will be developed... I need to consult with my superiors on that."

Seeing that Zhao Wenbo didn't blame him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But what he didn't know was that Zhao Wenbo was already planning to shift the blame onto him.

After all, so much manpower and financial resources were invested in the game, and then an accident happened right after the server opened. Someone has to take the blame.

"Xiao Yi, go and issue an apology announcement, and publicize our cooperative relationship with Yu Weiwei."

"Tell Yu Weiwei to cooperate with the publicity as well, and then instruct the art team to work overtime to complete Yu Weiwei's model as soon as possible."

"This time, we can't afford to lose so badly again..."

P.S.: Something came up today, sorry I'm late.

Chapter 47 The Eightfold Divine Son, Kamisato Ayaka! !

Good evening, esteemed city lords.

[Within one day of its launch, the development team of "Girls' Journey" received a large amount of feedback from players.]

First of all, thank you all for your support and feedback.

[Due to an error by the art team, many players have expressed dissatisfaction with the game's visuals. The development team sincerely apologizes to all players and promises to compensate them with 1 crystals.]

Meanwhile, the development team will work diligently to optimize the game's graphics and combat feel, and update it with more diverse and engaging gameplay activities to provide players with an even better gaming experience.

Finally, Timmy Studio has also reached a collaboration agreement with a top-tier singer. We will be launching a new version, new events, and new characters. Please stay tuned!

[If you encounter any problems in the game, please feel free to contact customer service.]

We look forward to your continued support and guidance as we work together to create a better future.

——Timmy Studio.

The announcement had barely been released when a flood of comments appeared below.

Most of the comments were encouraging and supportive.

Occasionally, some hot-tempered guys come to vent, but those comments quickly sink to the bottom.

Whether intentionally or not, the comments section quickly became filled with speculation about the "top-tier singer".

[Top-tier singer? Could it be Eden...? (Surprised)]

What? Eden is collaborating with "Girls' Journey"?

[Eden has played Honkai Impact 3, so... she'd probably like a similar game like Girls' Journey, right? Collaborating with such a big internet company like Tencent... that's quite possible.]

Wow! If Eden really partners with penguins, I'm definitely going to play!

[If the female warrior is based on Eden, I absolutely have to play it!!]

[...I really don't want Eden to collaborate with "Girls' Journey"...after all, the art style...is just too weird!]

[I second that! If we really use Eden's image to create a female war goddess... damn it, isn't that ruining the image of the little angel Eden?!]

Hearing you guys say that... I'm starting to panic too...

[Don't guess anymore, it's not Eden... Go check Yu Weiwei's Weibo and you'll see.]

After this comment was pushed to the top, netizens flocked to Yu Weiwei's Weibo to leave comments.

Players of both "Girls' Journey" and "Honkai Impact 3" expressed great curiosity.

Although Yu Weiwei is far inferior to Eden in terms of fame, singing voice, and appearance.

But no matter what, he's still a second-tier singer.

So, with a large number of netizens watching, Yu Weiwei finally made it to the top of the trending searches that night.

This situation thrilled Yu Weiwei.

Although she is a second-tier singer, there are so many celebrities in China, it is really not easy to make it onto the trending topics list.

Unexpectedly, after collaborating with Tencent Games, I only posted one Weibo post, and it quickly became a trending topic within two hours.

This result not only surprised her greatly, but also made the other third- and fourth-tier celebrities extremely envious.

…………

While netizens were frantically discussing the collaboration between celebrities and Girls' Journey, Mo Li didn't pay much attention.

Firstly, he didn't take "Girls' Journey" seriously at all.

Secondly, his studio welcomed two new beautiful young women.

Kamisato Ayaka, and Yae Kamiko...

Mo Li was also extremely surprised when he saw the two girls.

Unexpectedly, the two Japanese people who came to discuss the distribution of "Honkai Impact 3" with miHoYo were these two.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mo Li. My name is Ayaka Kamisato."

She wore a light blue dress, her long white hair was tied in a ponytail, she had bangs, a beauty mark, a delicate nose and pearly lips, and her whole body exuded the elegant air of a young lady from a wealthy family.

Aside from the clothes and hairstyle, it's exactly the same as in the game.

"I've heard so much about you, Boss Mo Li. My name is Yae no Miko~"

The pink-haired Yae no Miko was equally stunning; as she spoke, her eyes curved into a captivating smile.

Perhaps because of Genshin Impact, Mo Li always felt that there was a snobbish air about Yae no Miko's eyes.

"Hello, please have a seat." As he spoke, Mo Li poured a cup of tea for the two girls, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you two could speak Chinese, and with such a standard accent."

Yae no Miko covered her mouth and chuckled: "Ayaka and I both love the culture of the Dragon Kingdom, so whenever we have time, we study its culture and language."

"They even communicate with each other in the language of China on a daily basis!"

"Heh~ You two have come from afar, you should definitely go out and experience the sights and sounds of the Dragon Kingdom!"

“If it were before, I would indeed take some time to go out and travel…” As she said this, Yae no Miko’s foxy eyes curved into two crescent moons:

"But now... I'm more interested in your studio."

Ayaka Kamisato nodded with a smile: "I never imagined that the Valkyries in Honkai Impact 3rd were all employees of your studio. I was quite shocked when I first met Rita~"

“Rita…” Upon hearing Rita’s name, Yae no Miko’s eyes flashed:

"I must say, your studio is truly full of talent. When Ms. Rita and I discussed the agency matter, her words were absolutely impeccable..."

"Yes! This is the first time I've ever seen someone as amazing as Miss Rita~ The Divine Child and I couldn't gain the slightest advantage against her..."

When Rita was mentioned, Ayaka Kamisato immediately pictured the elegant, calm, and meticulous maid.

Because of Honkai Impact 3's outstanding performance and unique anime art style, there is no shortage of distributors in Japan.

Therefore, when they discussed the agency issue with Rita, the initiative was entirely in Rita's hands.

Even with the addition of the Eightfold Divine Child, they couldn't gain the slightest advantage...

This was the first time she and Yae no Miko had come out on the losing end in negotiations.
