Making Honkai Impact 3rd, am I surrounded by Valkyries?

"Shall we go back to the company next?"

"Didn't I say I wanted to introduce you to a friend?"

"Ah? Do you really have a friend you want to introduce?"

"if not?"

Kiana called Padophyllis. Last night Padophyllis said she wanted to meet Su Mu. Since she had time today, she let the two of them get to know each other.

After all, there are still many opportunities for such cooperation. In order to ruin the reputation of Yingtie Studio and make Su Mu's game fail, it is inseparable from Pado's vigorous promotion.

"Hey? Really? Teacher Su Mu is really coming? The restaurant is the same one we went to before? Okay, no problem! We will definitely be there! We have always been curious about what kind of genius Teacher Su Mu is who can make such a game!"

Padufilis agreed readily, but her tone was a little too cheerful.

Hey, hey, hey, Padu, shouldn't you know how bad Su Mu's game is? It's all a failure, why are you still so excited and happy?

At this moment, Kiana Kaslana didn't know that she hadn't checked her phone since last night, and she had already been out of touch with the version and made a very outrageous mistake.

she does not know.

"Digging for Life" actually did not fail at all.

18 Make money! Make lots of money!

Bronya was helpless.

Ever since I joined miHoYo, I've been visited by all kinds of people.

The first person to be affected was, of course, the senior executive of the Houmu gaming platform. With a smile on her face, she looked at Bronya eagerly and handed over a contract with great respect.

"Ms. Bronya, please consider cooperating with us..."

Bronya looked at the woman in front of her, she sighed and pushed the contract back.

"I'm sorry, but this is not something I can decide. I'm no longer the president of miHoYo and I don't have that right."

Houmu game platform.

It is a gaming platform owned by Anti-Entropy Entertainment and has always been one of the largest platforms in the gaming industry. In terms of status, it is very similar to Steam in Su Mu's previous life.

However, unlike Gabe Newell who is giving up, Anti-Entropy is really running this platform well, and based on this Houmu game platform, it has also created a Houmu game live broadcast section. Some games that are exclusively represented have the right to be broadcasted only here.

The most amazing thing is that the platform’s own studio produced the third part of “The Road to Hoom”.

When Su Mu heard the news for the first time, he was shocked and exclaimed that Leader Walter was so awesome!

The woman in front of Bronya was there to negotiate cooperation on "Dig for the Moon" and let Bronya sign the exclusive broadcasting rights of this game to the game platform.

As for why she knew that the so-called "Shadow Iron Game Studio" was a pseudonym for MiHoYo...

All I can say is that they also have their own channels, and it is not difficult to find out this.

I have to say, even Bronya was tempted by the number above.

But Bronya was somewhat resistant to this approach in her heart. She wanted more people to know how great the game made by Su Mu was. Now that "Dig for the Top" is very popular, more players will play this game in the future.

Signing the exclusive broadcasting rights can indeed bring in a considerable amount of money. To be honest, it may even be much more than making money from selling the game "Dig for Ascension".

But after intensive web surfing, Bronya discovered that many anchors with large numbers of fans have started playing this game. They are also bringing popularity to the game by taking advantage of the popularity, and this popularity is two-way.

Once the Houmu game platform obtains the exclusive broadcasting rights, the popularity of "Dig for the Ascension" on other platforms will drop significantly...

From the perspective of the Houmu game platform, seizing such a hot topic and signing the exclusive broadcasting rights will definitely attract many other viewers to download the live broadcast software. This is a business that is sure to make money.

But this will inevitably affect the future spread of this game...

Furthermore, this is not something that Bronya can decide alone.

Therefore, she said she would discuss it with other people in the company before giving a reply.

After that, many live streaming platforms came to her one after another, but Bronya temporarily sent them away with the reply, "I'll think about it."

However, the consideration period is only before tomorrow. After all, the live broadcast platform is not stupid. "Dig for the Top" has just become popular, and it would be the most profitable to get the exclusive broadcasting rights at this time.

And delaying for one day means you may lose a lot of money.

"Really... As the president, Kiana is actually having an office romance at this time..."

Looking at the dozen or so business cards in front of her, Bronya felt overwhelmed!

He is the CEO, but he is just a hands-off boss! MiHoYo has only a few employees to begin with, and now Kiana has taken Su Mu, the hardest worker, away with him. Doesn't he have to handle all the company's affairs by himself?

Thinking of this, Bronya unlocked her phone angrily. It was already 6:30 in the evening, and it was time to get off work.

But Su Mu and Kiana still didn't come to the company, and Bronya had reason to doubt whether the two had really gone to the theme hotel she recommended.

Although she felt sorry for disturbing other people's date... no, Bronya did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. She just wanted to make the call on purpose, hoping to hear some strange noises, so that she would have something to talk about when she faced Kiana later.

She has worked hard all day, can't she enjoy herself?

As the call was connected: "Hello? Director Bronya? What's going on?"

Bronya said unhappily, "Can't you call if there's nothing going on?"

Su Mu was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Kiana who was looking at the menu. Now he and Kiana were waiting for someone in a Hunan restaurant. The friend Kiana mentioned said that he would arrive later, so he asked them to order first.

"Uh, what happened?"

Su Mu felt a little strange. He always felt that Bronya seemed very angry.

Bronya replied, "Nothing. I just feel unbalanced when I think about the fact that I worked all day in the company and my boss went out on a date with the game director."

Su Mu smiled bitterly: "What date? I was just caught to play with you. You misunderstood."

Bronya began to criticize mercilessly: "Just tell me whether you have abandoned your work to go out and have fun, and whether you have written the plan. Although "Dig for Ascension" has achieved good results, if you are proud and dissatisfied because of it..."

Su Mu shrugged. Why was there this strange feeling of being caught by his girlfriend?

He didn't think of being jealous. After all, he and Bronya had only worked together for a few days, and he wasn't sure whether the other had feelings for him.

Of course, Su Mu’s favorability rating must be maxed out. After all, that’s Big Duck. As a man, how could he not be attracted to such a perfect Big Duck?

Su Mu thought for a moment and replied, "If that's the case, how about we leave the boss alone in the company next time and then sneak out to play?"

Bronya was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that Su Mu would say such a thing.

"As the game director, you actually took the lead in slacking off? Su Mu, do you have any awareness of being a director..."

"Are you going then?"

".....go."

Strangely, after agreeing to Su Mu to skip work and go out to play together next time, Bronya's inner dissatisfaction seemed to be alleviated a lot.

"Oh, actually, I called you about something else. It's urgent and I need a reply tomorrow."

Bronya told Su Mu that the Houmu game platform and other live broadcast platforms had come to them asking for exclusive broadcasting rights.

"Sign it, why not?"

Who knew that Su Mu didn't even think about it and gave Bronya a direct answer.

"'Dig for the Top' has only been popular for the past few days. Selling the exclusive broadcasting rights at this time will do us a lot of good and no harm."

Su Mu explained to Bronya patiently.

"The most important thing is that the life span of this game is largely tied to live streaming. When more and more streamers complete the game, the popularity will naturally decline."

19 Paduo: Brother Su Mu, you are my brother from now on!

To be honest, this is also the common dilemma of the stand-alone games in Su Mu's previous life. After all, the experience of many games is one-time, and it is difficult to experience them a second time after experiencing them once. The popularity comes quickly, but goes away quickly.

When those anchors have overcome all obstacles and reached space, the life of this game "Dig for Ascension" will come to an end. There may be some speed-passing tricks afterwards, but the popularity will soon pass.

The Internet has no memory—relatively speaking.

This is also one of the reasons why Su Mu decided to make "Honkai Impact 3rd", besides the fact that he is an old captain himself.

Another thing is that mobile games, which update content in different versions and operate long-term games, can generate much more popularity and traffic than stand-alone games.

And each version will have different hot spots, creating new heat and traffic, so it will not be easily forgotten.

These days, traffic and popularity equal money.

MiHoYo’s current predicament is the lack of traffic and popularity, and of course, the company’s account is also short of money.

After all, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy before, and now it is able to operate thanks to the investment brought by Kiana.

To support the development of Honkai Impact 3rd, a lot of money is needed. After all, the art alone will cost a lot of money...

Su Mu naturally also wanted to make some other famous games from his previous life, such as Hidetaka Miyazaki's "Sekiro" and "Elden Ring", but the investment cost was too high. For the current miHoYo, it was simply an astronomical figure!

Therefore, Su Mu’s purpose is very clear now, he just wants to make money, support miHoYo first, and then consider other things!

First comes milk bread, then we can talk about life ambitions and ideals!

Su Mu told Bronya his thoughts, which woke Bronya up.

Indeed, although the current popularity of "Dig for Ascension" is explosive, the length of this game is indeed not enough to support its long-term popularity.

For Bronya, who has completed this game, she naturally knows this.

The popularity will always fade. Even if Bronya wants more people to play this game, there will always be a limit.

"Besides, signing a contract with Houmu Gaming Platform will also be beneficial to us."

It was only after careful consideration that Su Mu proposed to cooperate with the Houmu gaming platform.

After all, the resources that the platform can provide are very valuable. With this cooperative relationship, the games produced by MiHoYo in the future will naturally be able to enter the vision of the platform's senior management more easily.

At that time, the promotion of new games will be easier, and if you want to recruit some talented people, it will be much more convenient if you have this relationship.

MiHoYo is really too small now. Apart from Bronya, Kiana, and Su Mu, there are only a few other colleagues.

And they are still in charge of the production and operation of the game "Horum Lianliankan". There are already few people in this project, and it is impossible to transfer people from here to make new games.

Therefore, people must be recruited.

As Su Mu continued to analyze, Bronya became more and more surprised.

Su Mu is so mature that he doesn't look like a freshly graduated college student at all. Instead, he looks like a seasoned veteran who has been in the workplace for many years.

The point he made made Bronya nod her head repeatedly.

"This matter has been finalized...I will contact the other party right now and sign the contract as soon as possible."

"Uh, why don't you ask Kiana's opinion?"

"...Ask."

Bronya really forgot to ask Kiana's opinion, but she actually felt that even if she asked Kiana about this kind of thing, with her intelligence, she would not understand it at all...

Su Mu looked at Kiana who was standing beside him. From a while ago, Kiana had been eavesdropping with her ears perked up... No, she was listening openly.

"I, I have no objection! I'll leave the signing of the contract to Bronya!"

She chuckled.

"Bronya knows more than me, so just leave the company's decision-making power to Bronya!"

Su Mu couldn't help but nodded. Kiana at least knew how to delegate power and didn't pretend to know everything. If he had a leader like this in his previous life, he would have been secretly happy.

"Okay, that's it. Also, if you're going to a theme hotel later, be careful."

After Bronya said this out of the blue, she hung up the phone.

"Theme hotel? What theme hotel?"

Kiana looked at Su Mu with confusion, as if she didn't understand.

"It's nothing, just a more special hotel." Su Mu said calmly.

"Special? What's so special about it? I'm a little interested..."

"Then do you want to go and have a look later?"

"Forget it. I have to go home tonight, otherwise my sister will definitely scold me."

Su Mu was able to get away with this matter.

"But I just heard you guys talking about the exclusive broadcasting rights for 'Dig for the Top'... Why did the other party buy this exclusive broadcasting rights?"
