Chapter 7: The Design Team Spied on My Browser History?!

"Design team, I suggest you change the game's name directly from Genshin to Money-Grab; that would be more fitting!"

Watching the download progress bar, Tonghao Mama instantly lost interest and couldn't help but start complaining.

The game is already in the closed beta stage, yet the official website hasn't even been built.

In the entire Xia Nation's gaming circle, this can't be said to be completely non-existent, but it is absolutely something you could count on your fingers.

Game developers who usually aren't even willing to build an official website.

Are definitely not a legitimate company.

According to Tonghao's guess, this is absolutely a small workshop with no more than five employees.

The reason for not wanting to build an official website is simple.

On one hand, it is to save on a sum of upfront expenses.

On the other hand, it is because they have no expectations for their own game, only thinking of making a quick buck and running away.

Regardless of which consideration it is.

The Genshin currently downloading has already started to make this game blogger feel somewhat disappointed.

He burned the midnight oil all night.

He didn't want to waste energy on a trash game again.

Thinking of this, Tonghao Mama had completely lost the mind to continue the trial run; he casually picked up the mouse, preparing to close the download interface.

But when the mouse cursor moved to the top right corner, a look of confusion suddenly appeared on his face.

The action in his hand also instantly stopped.

Download progress at thirteen percent?

If he remembered correctly, from the moment the download started, at least ten-plus minutes had already passed.

Why is it only thirteen percent?!

Last night he hadn't looked at any webpages he shouldn't have.

Logically speaking.

There shouldn't be a situation of slow network speed!

Moreover.

The few games he downloaded before this all had normal speeds.

After frowning and thinking for a moment.

Tonghao Mama suddenly realized.

A situation like this shouldn't be a network speed issue, but rather that the game's content is very large.

If it really is this kind of situation.

Then, this game named Genshin actually doesn't look much like that kind of trash game that makes quick money.

"Holy cow! I'm going to see what kind of game this actually is!"

Tonghao felt he was probably crazy, inexplicably getting into a fight with an anime-style game.

Right now, he had completely lost all sleepiness.

A moment later.

He got up to wash his face, then went to boil a kettle of hot water. After doing all this, he went back and took another look; the game still hadn't finished downloading.

So.

He went downstairs to the familiar breakfast shop and ate a breakfast.

Before returning to his room, Tonghao brewed a cup of black coffee, planning to fight this game called Genshin to the death.

Fortunately, at this time, the game finally finished downloading.

Tilting his head back to drink a large mouthful of coffee to perk up, Tonghao entered a string of closed beta invitation codes, then quietly waited for the game to load.

"Nothing special!"

During the game loading process, Tonghao silently gave a not-so-good evaluation in his heart.

Except for the door that flashed open, he indeed didn't discover any major highlights.

After a brief loading period, the game also began to get to the main point.

At the same time.

Tonghao Mama's body also sat up a bit straighter, his right hand picking up the mouse.

Preparing to, just like the few games he tried before.

Carefully read the introduction to the sects (classes), then create a character.

However.

The next second, he was completely stunned.

???

Damn!

What is going on exactly? Where is the game character creation interface?

Countless black question marks involuntarily popped out from above Tonghao Mama's head.

Just as he was still in a state of confusion, Genshin's opening animation quietly began.

"A bit surprising, seems to have some substance!"

After the animation started, Tonghao Mama's evaluation of the game Genshin quietly underwent a slight shift.

This kind of opening method made him involuntarily feel his eyes light up.

As a professional game blogger, since stepping into this industry, whether it was games from the Xia Nation or overseas games.

He hadn't tried ten thousand games, but he definitely had tried at least several thousand.

An opening sequence this dazzling, honestly, is genuinely rare.

The opening cinematic wasn't long.

It ended very quickly.

And at this moment, Chrysanthemum Mama couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement rising in his heart.

The quality of this game's opening cinematic, and the three character models that appeared, were absolutely top-tier work.

There was one thing he could now say with certainty.

This game was definitely not something a small workshop out to make a quick buck could produce.

Once the opening cinematic ended, the game entered the character selection phase (actually, character selection happens during the opening cinematic — a small adjustment was made here).

For an LSP — no, a professional game blogger — this wasn't even a choice.

Chrysanthemum Mama chose Lumine as his starting character without the slightest hesitation.

The reason was simple.

That cheeky little look hit his XP dead-on, no mercy!

Although Lumine's model wasn't based on a Summer Country person's appearance, did that even matter?

That head of short golden hair, eyes brilliant as stars, a skirt swaying in the breeze, and those long legs in white silk with the perfectly placed soul leg ring.

For a man, every single one was a critical magical hit!

The game hadn't even officially entered the trial play yet, but just from the opening cinematic and Lumine's character model, Chrysanthemum Mama could already give it a very high score.

Soon the game officially began.

And at this moment, with Paimon's appearance, Chrysanthemum Mama's XP was struck once again.

Really.

If he hadn't played this game, he would never have discovered that he had such strange preferences.

So adorable!

It's almost melting him away!

As a professional game blogger, in all his years in the business, no game had managed to hit his XP repeatedly within just a few short minutes.

Chrysanthemum Mama was completely stunned.

At this moment, he couldn't help but start to wonder whether the design team behind this game called "Genshin Impact" had hacked into his computer hard drive.

Or secretly checked his browser history…

Otherwise.

There was no reason they could so precisely grasp his strange tastes!

No!

This couldn't even be called precise control anymore!

This game's design team was deep-mining players' XP.

He himself was a living example.

After all.

Before trying this game, he'd always thought he didn't have much fondness for the cute type.

But now that notion seemed to have changed…

Thinking of this, Chrysanthemum Mama got completely excited; he couldn't wait to keep going.

To see just how many more surprises this game could bring him…
