Chapter 1094: Running an Idol Girl Group in the Universe

Everyone had thought *Genshin Impact* would make a lot of money, but they didn't expect it to make this much.

The predicted revenue for just one day of the launch was as high as 1.5 billion; wouldn't that mean it was heading towards 5 billion for the month?

Many domestic games didn't even have 5 billion in revenue for a whole year, and this was just the most conservative estimate for *Genshin Impact*'s first month of income.

Because the real big head, the PC side, couldn't be calculated at all; only Luo Quan herself knew exactly how much she had earned.

What was even more annoying was that although this game was listed on Bilibili, the copyright was held by Springwater Entertainment.

That is to say, Bilibili's shareholders wouldn't get a share of the money; the money earned by the game basically flowed into Luo Quan's own pocket.

This was the benefit of not compromising with channel distributors; whatever you earn is your own.

Seeing the terrifying money-making power of *Genshin Impact*, many competitors who were still hesitating completely made up their minds to develop their own open-world mobile games.

Countless messages about recruiting troops and buying horses were flying around in Momo chat groups; everyone knew the gaming industry was about to change.

Within three years, there would definitely be a large number of mobile games with the "open world" tag on the market.

And the workload of making an open-world mobile game was not on the same level as making a skin-swapping mobile game; it required a large amount of capital and manpower, so for fresh graduates, it was definitely easier to find a job.

However, for mobile game manufacturers, this was not good news.

Because when competitors eat big mouthfuls, it's hard to say how much will be left for you.

When MOBA mobile games first became popular, there were countless 5v5 mobile games on the market.

How many are left now?

Any type of mobile game will eventually end up in a situation where one dominates; *Genshin Impact* has already taken the first step, and whether others can catch up by working hard at this time is really hard to say.

But sitting still and waiting for death is definitely a more stupid behavior; open-world mobile games must be developed.

Because if you don't do it, and others do, then players will go and recharge for those who did; your game will have no one playing, and eventually, you'll have to shut down the servers.

This is the involution of the mobile game circle.

And as the current "king of involution," Luo Quan was already earning a full pot; when her subordinates submitted the revenue report, she counted it three times before finally confirming.

A full 1.8 billion in income; this result had already surpassed the first-day box office of any of her previous movies.

"Making mobile games is indeed a profiteering industry; I feel dizzy just looking at so many zeros." Wen Xia counted the digits of the amount on the side, her heart already in turmoil.

"At our level, money is just a number; I make money just to make the company bigger and stronger." Luo Quan leaned back in her chair, crossing her legs, with the posture of a big boss.

"Yo, you're putting on airs." Wen Xia laughed, her tone sounding like she had drunk lemon juice, appearing sour.

Luo Quan raised her hand and patted her shoulder, proudly saying: "Admit it, Wen Xia, I am a business empress; the businesses I've invested in so far have never lost money!"

"I didn't deny it."

Wen Xia sat on the edge of the bed, eyes fixed on the ceiling: "Luoluo, how big do you intend to make the company?"

"Bigger than Disney," Luo Quan answered without thinking.

If it were before today, she might not have been so certain.

But the huge success of *Genshin Impact* made her instantly much more confident; if it could build a reputation worldwide, wouldn't the mobile games launched in the future also be able to achieve the same massive momentum?

Just thinking about several money-making tools like *Genshin Impact* working at the same time, how much money would that be every day?

Just thinking about it made her tremble with excitement.

She wasn't interested in money, but she was interested in the process of making money, and very much so.

Not to mention that she had now received a mission issued by the system, so making money had become even more motivated.

"Your wish is really far-reaching." Wen Xia laughed, her mood a bit melancholy.

Her best friend had always persisted in her dreams, and was even getting closer and closer to this goal.

And her own dream had been put down for a long, long time.

At the beginning, both of their dreams seemed unrealistic; now looking back, their respective progress was worlds apart.

Sure enough, people are different; some are destined to shine for ages, while others are destined to be lost in the dust of the world.

"I remember your dream was to carry forward the girl group, right?" Talking about dreams, Luo Quan remembered Wen Xia; it seemed she hadn't heard her mention this sentence for a long time.

"Yeah, but without ability, what's the use of just talking about dreams?" Wen Xia chuckled, "I've already given up; trying hard to be an actor and becoming a Best Actress feels more practical."

"Don't," Luo Quan hugged her best friend's shoulder, "If a dream could be easily completed, could it still be called a dream?

It doesn't matter if the hope is slim, because as long as you work hard, it's always possible.

But if you give up now, then there's absolutely no hope."

"Pouring chicken soup for the soul for me again, right?" Wen Xia stood up, "But I don't even know what direction to work towards; now competitions can't even be held, and in the vast sea of people, how can I find talent?"

Luo Quan smiled mysteriously: "Nothing in the world is immutable; maybe competitions can be held again in a while?"

"Could it be... you have inside information?" Wen Xia instantly showed a surprised smile.

She had always known that Luo Quan had inside sources of information, but she had never asked about them.

Now that Luo Quan said this, wasn't she hinting that the restrictions on talent shows were about to be lifted?

"I don't know, but who can say for sure about this? In short, you can't let go of the idol thing; you have to practice more."

Luo Quan's answer was very cryptic; whether there was or wasn't was completely ambiguous.

But Wen Xia at least heard hope, and the heat in her heart was reignited: "Don't worry, all my skills haven't been dropped; being a mentor is definitely more than enough!"

"With your words, I'm relieved." Luo Quan nodded and smiled.

Actually, she didn't know at all whether the restrictions would be lifted, and China really didn't have the soil for girl groups.

In the current entertainment industry, you find a few with high looks, package them, and they can debut; then it's fan circles, marketing, and traffic. If you're lucky, you can get popular.

If you're unlucky, you get shelved, and then you go find the next amateur worth promoting.

This is the capital's idol fast-track method.

Like the Korean style, where you are a trainee for a few years before debuting, it's too slow and not efficient at all.

So Luo Quan didn't intend to start any girl group in the country at all, and even Earth was meaningless.

Her idea was to start a girl group on the Universe.

When she was live streaming a while ago, she discovered that the Universe didn't even have the concept of a girl group.

Because every skill can enter the Dao, those who sing well go to be singers, those who dance well go to be dancers, and those who look beautiful go to film idol dramas.

Because professional differentiation is too detailed, the profession of an idol, which occupies a little bit of everything, simply cannot be born.

Only such soil is Wen Xia's true paradise, and also the place where her dreams can shine.

Maybe after she goes over, she will directly be the ancestor of idols, and her strength might even advance by leaps and bounds.

Of course, these still belong to the brain-testing stage; Luo Quan needs to study carefully before making a decision.

But once the research results are feasible, then maybe Wen Xia will be the first interstellar idol on Earth.

This achievement is much more impressive than any "No. 1 Chinese idol."

In short, Wen Xia regained hope here at Luo Quan's, and went back to her room happily to continue practicing dance.

Not long after, Ye Zhinie walked in again.

"Imperial Consort, do you still remember that I said I wanted to give you a gift?"

Ye Zhinie looked at Luo Quan mysteriously: "I didn't give you a birthday gift on your birthday, now I intend to make it up to you."

"What is it?" Luo Quan smiled in surprise, "It wouldn't be that diamond planet you mentioned, would it?"

"Do I look like such a vulgar person?" Ye Zhinie smiled contemptuously, "The gift I want to give, of course, combines elegance and exquisiteness, beauty and practicality."

Saying that, Ye Zhinie pulled a jewel-encrusted stick-like object from behind her.

"This shape..." Luo Quan's smile instantly stiffened.

This thing, why does it look so much like *that* thing?

"You aren't doing this on purpose to tease me, are you? This gift is so weird." Luo Quan felt that Ye Zhinie was completely playing an interstellar joke on her.

"Haha, took the wrong one." Ye Zhinie also realized the problem at this time, "This is actually also a gift I collected and wanted to give to the Imperial Consort, but after thinking about it later, it seemed a bit inappropriate, so I dismissed the idea.

But the thing was too big, and I got it mixed up all of a sudden."

While joking, this thing was put away by Ye Zhinie.

"I'm afraid it wasn't on purpose, right?" Luo Quan chuckled, indicating she didn't believe Ye Zhinie's nonsense at all.

Ye Zhinie smiled faintly: "If the Imperial Consort likes it, I can also give it to you."

"Only a ghost would want this kind of thing as a birthday gift!" Luo Quan was so angry her hair started floating.

Seeing that the Imperial Consort was really angry, Ye Zhinie didn't dare to continue joking; she reached behind her and took out a black car model.

"What is this?" Luo Quan took the car into her hand and asked curiously.

Ye Zhinie said proudly: "This is a luxury sports car I had the best car company in the Universe customize for you, Imperial Consort. The overall styling is consistent with Earth's style, but it's cooler.

Don't look at it as black; at night, its edges will reflect light, showing a luxury and sparkle like black gold. Driving it on the street will definitely be cool!"

"But it's so small, how can I drive it on the street?" Luo Quan asked curiously, "Is there some kind of mantra, like 'make it bigger and smaller' or something?"

"Of course there is." Ye Zhinie took the car model and threw it directly into the courtyard.

The black sports car model expanded rapidly while spinning, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a super sports car that was cool beyond compare, landing steadily on the lawn of the courtyard.

Luo Quan walked over, her eyes full of stars: "Wow, this is too cool."

"How about it, this gift is not bad, right?" Ye Zhinie's eyes were full of doting, "Besides its powerful performance, this sports car is also incredibly tough. Even if there is a car accident, it will definitely be the other person's car that is damaged; you won't be hurt in the slightest.

Besides that, its engine sound is also quite sexy and silky; you'll be able to experience it once you start it."

"What is its name?" Luo Quan turned to look at Ye Zhinie.

If it had a cool name, this car would be perfect; it would simply be a super-god treasure for showing off and attracting attention.

"Goddess of the Night, is it very stylish?" Ye Zhinie proudly raised her chin, "I named it myself. Although it doesn't conform to the naming tradition of the Holy Tang Dynasty, I think this is more appropriate."

"Then what is the name that conforms to the Holy Tang Dynasty style?" Luo Quan asked curiously.

Although "Goddess of the Night" is also good, she wanted to hear if there were any other answers.

"Ink Jade Qilin." Ye Zhinie said the name reluctantly, "Isn't it very rustic! Where we are, everything is called this.

A big black dog is an Ink Jade Qilin, a big black cat is an Ink Jade Qilin, and some people's nicknames are even Ink Jade Qilin; it's simply rotten on the street, not a bit of novelty."

"I actually think this title sounds quite good, and it has a lot of connotation."

Luo Quan was unexpectedly very satisfied with "Ink Jade Qilin." Of course, it was mainly because there were no cars on Earth that would be called that.

And names like "Goddess" or "God" for car names were already very common.

Ye Zhinie heard that Luo Quan seemed very satisfied with this name, and in the end, she didn't say anything more; she could only nod: "Anyway, the car is yours. Since you like it so much, let's call it Ink Jade Qilin."

While speaking, Luo Quan had already impatiently sat in the car.

After getting in, she found that the experience was not just comfortable.

It was as if every screw in this car was built according to her preferences; she couldn't pick out a single flaw.

"This custom-made is too magical; it feels like something I brought with me after I was born; it feels like we are one!" Luo Quan fastened her seatbelt, her eyes full of joy.

"Just kidding, this is the supreme craftsmanship of the Universe's No. 1 car factory. Besides me, there are not many people who have the ability to make those old men with stinking tempers start working."

Ye Zhinie hugged her chest, her tone full of showing off; seeing Luo Quan's smiling face, she then asked: "So Imperial Consort, are you satisfied with this gift?"

"Satisfied, this is one of the best birthday gifts I have ever received!" Luo Quan said movedly.

"It's actually 'one of,' isn't it the only one?" Ye Zhinie was unhappy.

"There are a few others from my family." Luo Quan explained quickly.

"That's more like it." Ye Zhinie returned to a smiling face, "Then Imperial Consort, I have already given you such a good gift, then tonight, are you willing to share a bed with me?"

"Sure, didn't we often share a bed before?" Luo Quan agreed without hesitation.

"Then tomorrow morning, if you wake up in my arms again, don't blame this or that, okay." Ye Zhinie smiled wickedly, as if admitting something.

Luo Quan exclaimed: "It really was you who did the trick."

Ye Zhinie immediately denied: "I never said that, Imperial Consort, don't over-imagine." ===== CHAPTER 1095 =====
