Chapter 44: A Simple and Brutal Approach!

~3 min read 580 words

The video showcasing the character Keqing's skills had been released less than half an hour ago, immediately sparking a strong reaction among the players.

The video's view count skyrocketed like a rocket.

Various comments and messages poured out incessantly like a violent storm.

"Good heavens, so my wife is named Keqing! That name... sounds amazing. One of the Liyue Qixing, does this mean seven such wives will be released?"

"Sorry, wife Jean, let's get a divorce! I think I've fallen for someone else. If there's anyone to blame, it's the game's official team for designing Keqing to fit my tastes so perfectly!"

"Wishing for Keqing; as long as I don't lose, I'll play until the servers shut down!"

"It feels so lewd, but I like it. Please release more characters like this; I'm ready to die in Teyvat!"

"So bouncy and elastic, with soulful black stockings; who the hell can resist this? I finally understand what Mama Tongao meant by 'don't start playing if your body is weak'!"

"Wow! These skills are truly cool. Paired with Keqing's posture, it perfectly embodies what it means to be both beautiful and fierce. Alright, I'm lost..."

"Do you still have time to type nonsense here? The witty me started licking the screen long ago!"

"Only four days left. Of everyone here, only one can take wife Keqing home. No more nonsense, just draw your swords!"

"What am I seeing? Why are there so many ancient buildings in the Xia Kingdom style appearing in this video?"

"Brothers, let's make a bold prediction! This game company is very likely to have designed our Xia Kingdom as a map. Doesn't 'Liyue Qixing' sound like the Big Dipper?"

"Good heavens, I feel like I've seen those buildings somewhere before, but I just can't recall it right now..."

"..."

After watching the comments for a while, Qin Qin Xiaoyu was directly stunned by those players, unable to speak for a long time.

At this moment, a hint of wavering even arose in his heart.

Should he assign a dedicated UP banner to Keqing?

And then design a signature weapon for her?

Given Keqing's current popularity and anticipation, it would certainly become a banner with explosive revenue.

However.

This thought only lasted a few brief seconds in Qin Qin Xiaoyu's mind before he extinguished it himself.

Doing this wouldn't be complicated for him, nor was there much difficulty, but if he really played it that way, it would inevitably severely disrupt his upcoming plans.

Moreover, the character Keqing herself has certain flaws in her design; once modified, it would be difficult to balance the stats in the short term.

Using her early on for players to explore the world is still quite good.

If a dedicated UP banner were released separately, by the late game when the Electro Archon Raiden Shogun of the same Electro element appears, players comparing the two would likely curse until their ancestors' graves smoked.

As for the topics regarding Liyue that players discussed in the video, Qin Qin Xiaoyu currently had no intention of responding further.

After all, Mondstadt still has a Klee banner coming up; revealing too much about Liyue is simply not a wise choice.

After players received Keqing's exact release date, their emotions obviously eased considerably.

Those players clamoring to quit the game and give one-star ratings, though not completely gone, were now only a handful.

After watching the comments for a while longer, Qin Qin Xiaoyu turned off the video.
