Chapter 3: Mihouyou Studio, Full of Acquaintances?!

Mo Li's words stirred something within You Lan's heart.

In truth, the group had gathered with the aim of developing a game the whole world would love.

Their goal was to create a masterpiece that could both earn money and win acclaim.

But... there were very, very few in the market that could achieve such a goal.

And for a small workshop like theirs, accomplishing that goal was far too difficult.

Even the game they developed, "Save the Girl," was funded entirely by her own pocket.

Moreover, Mo Li had indeed hit the nail on the head: the employees of Mihouyou Studio were indeed working out of love, without pay...

Although it was all voluntary, You Lan did not wish for things to continue this way forever.

After all, they all had their own lives; without income, what would they do in the future?

Having reached this understanding, You Lan nodded seriously and said, "Mr. Mo Li, please wait a moment; I will make a call."

"Please, take your time; I'm not in a hurry~"

Mo Li was not in a rush, merely smiling and nodding.

After a few minutes, You Lan walked over to Mo Li with her long legs: "Mr. Mo Li, do you have time to visit our studio?"

Mo Li knew the matter was mostly settled, and he was naturally delighted by the invitation.

"Then let's go right now~"

……

At that moment, at the Mihoyo Studio.

A group of young girls sat together, their eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.

If Mo Li were here, he would be surprised to find that the girls present were all characters he knew very well.

Mei, with her gentle temperament and black hair.

Rita, with her seductive voice and alluring figure.

Ganyu, with her ice-blue hair, dignified and delicate appearance.

And Himeko, full of ambition, and Fu Hua from Shenzhou, the flat-screen.

At this moment, everyone was gathered around the somewhat emotionless Big Duck—Bronya.

"Bronya, how is it?"

Bronya had long gray-white hair, a curvaceous figure, and an exquisite face devoid of any expression.

However, at this moment, her brows were furrowed. After hanging up the phone, she said seriously: "Big Sister says... that investor wants to acquire our studio..."

"Ah?"

"Acquire? Didn't they say invest?" Himeko frowned: "Could this person have some bad intentions?"

Mei nodded in agreement: "I feel it too... something is off. After all, our studio has nothing worth acquiring, and of course, nothing worth investing in either..."

"Hehe~" Hearing Mei and Himeko's words, Rita smiled:

"Everyone is overthinking it, right? Our studio only had You Lan De'er appear when the game was released; hasn't information about us never been leaked before?"

"In my opinion, that investor must have come for You Lan De'er~"

Everyone looked at each other, feeling Rita made a lot of sense.

"But... Big Sister said that investor wants to talk with us, and I agreed."

Upon Bronya's words, everyone was somewhat surprised: "You really want to sell the studio?"

"If it gets sold, I'll resign and leave..." Rita sounded a bit disappointed; she really liked life as it was now.

Chatting with her sisters every day at work, occasionally checking how many more players had joined the games she made with her own hands.

Occasionally, if there was a good idea, she could discuss it with everyone.

If the studio were truly acquired, the atmosphere there would probably change a lot.

The key point is... the one wanting to acquire Mihoyo... is a man.

Rita's words left everyone somewhat silent.

After a while, Himeko smiled and comforted: "Didn't Bronya say it's just a discussion? Whether to sell or not, You Lan De'er should listen to everyone's opinion."

"Himeko is right; if You Lan De'er really wanted to sell, she wouldn't have asked for our opinion."

Just as the young girls were feeling anxious, the studio door was slowly pushed open.

You Lan De'er, wearing high heels, entered with a handsome young man behind her.

"Big Sister!"

You Lan De'er nodded slightly to everyone: "Let me introduce everyone."

"This is Mr. Mo Li, who is interested in acquiring our studio."

The girls' gazes all turned to Mo Li.

"He's quite a handsome young man~" Himeko smiled, casually teasing.

And on Mo Li's side...

His mind had gone numb.

What kind of people are these?

The whole room was filled with the fresh scent of young girls...

"Your studio... has only these people?"

You Lan De'er nodded: "Yes, 'Saving the Girls' was developed by us together."

Mo Li pressed his lips together, not knowing what to say.

With memories from Earth, he liked the characters from Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact very much, but...

Are you sure there's no mistake? Did all these people come into reality? And I'm planning to develop Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact...

Wait...

In that case, don't I have to acquire this studio?

Otherwise, if I make the games, what if these people sue me?

Although there is a gap between the 2D and 3D worlds, but... if the names, personalities, and appearances are 90% similar, it's hard to avoid criticism.

"What's wrong, Mr. Mo Li?"

"Hehe~ Mr. Mo Li must be very surprised~ after all, so many beautiful girls suddenly appeared..."

Mo Li quickly came to his senses, glared at Himeko, and said: "Ahem... I am indeed a bit surprised; I didn't expect your studio to be full of girls..."

"However, I have seen everyone's abilities and love for games in the game 'Saving the Girls'."

"As for my purpose here, Miss You Lan must have told you all. What is everyone's intention?"

After the young girls exchanged glances, Bronya stepped forward and said softly: "Mr. Mo Li, as you must have seen, our studio is entirely a group of girls who chose this profession out of love for games."

"So, we do not wish to be at the mercy of others..."

Mo Li nodded: "I understand your concerns..."

"Before that, I can share my thoughts with you."
