Chapter 1: Mi-HoYo, Diluc??

"Could such a thing actually happen??"

At that moment, Mo Li sat dazed before his computer, his handsome and resolute face filled with utter shock.

He had merely woken from sleep to find a vast array of unfamiliar memories inexplicably appearing in his mind.

Those memories felt like another self who had lived for twenty years in another world, bringing back everything that had occurred during those two decades.

Within those memories lay a place called Earth, where the nations bore no difference whatsoever from the world he inhabited.

The only distinction was the direction in which their worlds had developed.

For instance, many of the music and games that had appeared on that place called Earth differed greatly from those in this world.

The same held true for films, but since Mo Li was unfamiliar with the film industry, he had actively ignored that aspect.

"League of Legends, Honkai Impact 3rd, Genshin Impact, Sekiro, Resident Evil..."

Mo Li felt a surge of joy in his heart: "So many creative ideas, all already market-tested... these memories are nothing short of a treasure trove!"

However, Mo Li soon shook his head gently.

Although the ideas were creative, actually producing these games would require an exorbitant amount of resources.

Take, for instance, the mobile game called Honkai Impact 3rd; its development costs were estimated to be tens of millions...

Although he currently possessed some small fortune, developing a game remained far too difficult.

Moreover, he had absolutely no experience in game production.

Yet, the thought of abandoning this mountain of gold left him somewhat unwilling to let go...

Just then, a crisp chime suddenly rang out within Mo Li's mind.

[Ding~ Game Production System Bound Successfully]

[Newcomer Gift Pack Has Been Issued]

[Ding~ Congratulations, Host, on Acquiring Game Production Experience]

[Ding~ Congratulations, Host, on Acquiring All Content from Versions 1.0 to 7.0 of the Game Honkai Impact 3rd]

[Ding~ Congratulations, Host, on Acquiring Initial Funds of 20 Million (For Game Production Only)]

A series of loli-like chimes echoed through Mo Li's mind, leaving him completely stunned.

"Did I just... bind a system??"

Mo Li felt immense joy in his heart.

After acquiring those vast memories, Mo Li had developed an intense fondness for those games.

Now, being able to produce these games himself and earn a fortune, who wouldn't like that?

He immediately opened the system panel to check the rewards he had received.

The Game Production Experience was used directly; within an extremely short time, he gained a wealth of knowledge regarding game production.

"This loli system is truly... making wishes come true..."

Immediately after, he continued to examine the system's detailed introduction.

"I see... it's like the chicken and the egg..."

More accurately, Mo Li needed to produce his first game to gain popularity points.

Afterwards, he could use those popularity points to purchase desired game packages from the system shop, repeating the cycle indefinitely.

As for all the materials for the first game, the system had already issued them to him.

"The path has been paved directly for me, and it's a road leading straight to becoming a winner in life!"

Light sparkled in Mo Li's eyes, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his handsome face.

Without a second thought, he walked straight out of his office and submitted his resignation letter.

What a joke; now that he had a system and could make the games he loved, why bother working a job?

Since he had only just graduated from university and was still in his probationary period, he easily became a free agent again.

After leaving the company, Mo Li drove straight toward his home.

He already had a rough idea forming in his mind.

Making games alone was impossible, even with a system.

Therefore, his first priority was to establish or acquire a studio.

Whether to create one himself or acquire an existing one was still under consideration.

As for the money, the 20 million in initial funds provided by the system could be used to acquire a studio.

[Ding~ The System Has Selected Several Candidate Studios for You~]

Mo Li's hand on the steering wheel paused slightly, and with some surprise, he opened the system panel.

The studios introduced by the system were all very small, debt-free, but on the verge of going out of business.

Mo Li parked his car to the side and examined them carefully.

"Mi-Hu-You??" Upon seeing this name, a question mark immediately appeared in Mo Li's mind.

He remembered that this was apparently the nickname of the company on Earth that produced Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact.

Yet, it had actually appeared in this world!

"Quite interesting," Mo Li smiled and clicked to open the introduction for this studio.

The information stated that this company had produced a tower defense game with an anime art style, operating on a typical time-card payment model for this world.

However, the game had been online for over half a year and had not even recouped the development costs.

It could be said to have failed spectacularly.

"Right... in this world, all games are strictly buy-to-play!! While online games use a time-card payment system!!"

Mo Li recalled the business models of online games on Earth and realized that the free-to-play, item-based payment model was the one that truly made money.

Thinking of this, Mo Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"This world... is indeed in the infancy stage of the gaming industry... Whether it's gameplay or operational models, it can't compare to that Earth at all."

"But... isn't that just perfect?" Mo Li smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth, feeling increasingly confident in the field of game development.

He turned his gaze again to the information about the "miHoYo" studio.

Founder: "You Lan"; Studio works: "Saving the Girl."

Studio status: Operating at a loss.

Below, the system also provided the studio's address, a photo of the founder, and finally, the contact information.

"Eh?! This..." Upon seeing the founder's photo, Mo Li instinctively rubbed his eyes: "I can't be seeing things, can I?!"

In the photo was a woman with white hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing professional attire, with an exquisitely perfect face.

In the past, Mo Li would have only thought this woman was beautiful, flawlessly so.

But after gaining the memories of Earth, he was shocked to realize: isn't the woman in the photo actually Durandal from the game "Honkai Impact 3rd"?

"You Lan? Could it really be her?!!"
