"Well... there aren't any models, haha..." Mo Li chuckled, then added, "However, to put it another way, all the '933' Dragon Country people in the live stream can represent the [Xianzhou people]."
……
[Okay, okay, you're just sitting quietly at home, and suddenly you're considered a representative, right?]
I cannot represent the people of Xianzhou, because I do not have a long lifespan (humorous)
[Haha, Otto is introducing the game here, while Kafka is flirting with the employees on the side (laughing and crying)]
[But watching pretty girls fool around is really fun, hehehe...]
[What? What did that scoundrel Otto just say? I was watching Tingyun and Kafka the whole time and didn't pay attention to him.]
[Otto, that scoundrel, says the game won't be officially released until next year (lol)]
[Fine, fine, Otto, you scoundrel, you've got some good stuff and you're hiding it, huh? (angry)]
……
The live stream room seemed to be divided into two parts.
Part of it was Kafka and Tingyun playing around.
On the other side was the introduction of Mo Li and Ji Zi.
This situation wasn't actually part of the script, but rather a result of Kaffa's whim.
However, miHoYo's live streams are all about a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, so the viewers enjoyed watching and Mo Li didn't intentionally interrupt Kafka.
"I was just watching the comments, and it seems some netizens are saying... she can't represent the people of Xianzhou because she doesn't have a long lifespan..."
At this point, Himeko cleverly shifted the topic to the history of the Immortal Ship.
"Then, where does the immortal ship's long lifespan come from?"
Mo Li: "This brings us to a story from the past—"
"In the ancient mythical era, an emperor of the Celestial Ship yearned for immortality and eternal industry, so he set sail and traversed the starry sea."
At this point, Mo Li paused, then chuckled and looked at the camera: "Doesn't this feel familiar?"
In the live stream room, the three characters "Qin Shi Huang" immediately filled the entire screen.
"That's right. In the Dragon Kingdom more than 2000 years ago, the First Emperor sought elixirs of immortality, yearning for eternal life."
"The Records of the Grand Historian records that Qin Shi Huang once sent Xu Fu to sea to search for the elixir of immortality, but he never returned."
"Dongfang Shuo of the Western Han Dynasty also recorded in his 'Records of the Ten Provinces Within the Seas' the story of Xu Fu leading three thousand boys and girls on a ship to Fusang in search of the elixir of immortality."
At this point, we have indeed strayed a bit from the topic.
However, this was Mo Li deliberately shifting the topic here.
After all, this is a global live broadcast.
There are many countries that have absolutely no understanding of China.
Now, by taking advantage of this topic, we can let those who don't know about China know that China is the only ancient civilization that has continued to this day and has thousands of years of cultural heritage.
In the past, Mo Li would not have done this intentionally.
But now, miHoYo is being hailed as a benchmark for cultural export... so it has to do something practical eventually.
However, he won't make it too obvious.
Otherwise, it would offend foreign players, and when talking about Xu Fu's voyage to find the immortal island, it would inevitably bring up the neighboring country of Japan, Japan.
Therefore, Mo Li only touched upon the point and stopped there.
Let netizens explain the deeper aspects.
……
"Now you all understand, right? The background of the Immortal Ship was inspired by many things from the Dragon Kingdom."
"Hmm... these are all treasures left by our ancestors. Am I... living off my parents?"
After a little joke, Mo Li steered the conversation back to the game.
Unlike the First Emperor, the people of the [Immortal Ship] sailed far into the starry seas and ultimately achieved their wish, receiving the blessing of the [Abundant] Star God [Medicine Master].
"but!!"
"The fruit of immortality brought the people of the Immortal Ship not only extremely long lifespans, but also an unexpected desolation across the land and widespread suffering to the common people..."
"It wasn't until later, when the [Hunting] Star God [Lan] chopped down the Jianmu tree, that the [Abundance] curse on the immortal ship was finally extinguished."
"From this point on, guided by the [Hunter], the Immortal Ship established an alliance, taking it upon itself to eradicate the Immortal Pollution."
Himeko nodded, suddenly understanding: "I see..."
"It seems this is indeed a world with a strong Chinese cultural flavor."
"Now that we've covered the characters and the world-building, shall we move on to the game's features and gameplay?"
Upon hearing this, Kafka and Tingyun stopped their playful fighting and turned to look at Mo Li...
The audience also began to look forward to it.
What kind of creative possibilities can be found in this turn-based game?
……
"As I mentioned earlier, Honkai Impact: Star Railway is a role-playing game where players will take on the role of [Pioneers], exploring various miniature maps, solving puzzles, and experiencing the story."
As Mo Li explained, the live stream camera switched to showing the game footage.
"We are committed to providing pioneers with an immersive gaming experience during their exploration."
"Whether strolling through space, traversing snowy wastelands, or standing atop jade palaces and golden halls."
"Or perhaps... indulging in picking through trash cans on the street, or..."
Mo Li was speaking when Kafka couldn't help but interrupt, "What?"
Himeko tilted her head in confusion: "Did some weird art style sneak in?"
"It's 3.5, right..." Mo Li didn't explain, but just smiled mysteriously.
This can be considered a meme in the game.
"As I mentioned before, this game is primarily designed for a lighthearted and enjoyable experience, so it incorporates many [strange art styles] throughout."
"These are things players will have to discover for themselves by entering the game."
"Next... everyone, please take a look at the gameplay demo without any frame drops."
As Mo Li finished speaking, Xing in the game encountered an enemy in the live stream.
Xing swung his baseball bat and struck the monster.
"Click~"
It was like a mirror shattering, a sudden flash that caught the eye.
By the time the audience realized what was happening, the game had already entered battle mode.
As soon as the battle began, Dan Heng in the team immediately activated his ultimate skill.
.......
Chapter 562? This launch bonus... has miHoYo gone mad?
"Life and death, reality and illusion, are separated by a single thought..."
Dan Heng's original artwork flashed by, and then the game camera focused on Dan Heng's face before quickly zooming out, revealing a beautiful ink-wash style scene around him.
"A magical realm transforms, a long dream ends in a slumber..."
"Break~"
Don't ask why I unleashed my ultimate move right from the start.
He's handsome!
The effect was quite impressive, with the live stream chat filled with nonsensical comments.
Since the release of Honkai Impact 3, almost all subsequent sequels have included character ultimate skill animations.
But after looking at them all, players still felt that miHoYo's work was the most amazing.
This time, Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railroad did not disappoint them either.
Although we've seen it in previous promotional videos, watching it again now still leaves players in awe.
……
So handsome!!!
This kind of traditional Chinese style really appeals to me QAQ
This is the kind of game that people from China really play...
[The first time I've seen this kind of traditional Chinese style was with the Immortal's Yuanmo Armor QAQ] 26
Unfortunately, there are too few games like Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact with this kind of Chinese style.
