Chapter 82: At Least Ten Million!

At 9 p.m. that evening, players exploring Teyvat collectively received an official email.

The content was simple.

It essentially stated that due to players’ longstanding support, Genshin Impact had surpassed 18 million overseas pre-registrations and would officially launch globally on the Global Entertainment Platform at noon local time on May 1.

To thank domestic players and share in the joy,

players who log in continuously for seven days will receive a total of ten Entwined Fates and abundant breakthrough materials.

After reading the email, tens of thousands of players froze for a few seconds, then erupted. The email was forwarded by some players to major gaming forums, sparking countless enthusiastic reviews. (Do not equate this with real-life MHY planners—they too deserve to be sacrificed to the heavens.)

“Holy shit, guys, is this even real? The overseas servers open and they’re giving us ten-pulls? I’m officially hooked…”

“The gacha pools are kinda rigged, but the planners are actually decent people so far!”

“Damn, are MiHoYo not trying to make money anymore? It’s only been a month and they’ve given out multiple ten-pulls already! You’re making this hard on me—forcing me to free-ride!”

“Nothing else to say—because of this event, MiHoYo gained a loyal player.”

“Fuck you, MiHoYo, who are you trying to insult? Do you think I can’t afford 648? Take back this ten-pull right now—I’d rather pull nothing but Qiqi every time than accept your freebies. Of course, if you insist on giving them, I can only say: damn, this is delicious.”

“Holy shit, you’re an ally? I almost stabbed you in the back!”

“Too late—I’ve already drawn my forty-meter blade and can’t stop it. Dress that guy in enemy armor and bury him deep.”

“Hey, Shengda game planners? Come check the forum—MiHoYo’s giving a live lesson on how to be a decent planner. Bring your notebooks and start copying.”

“I’ve never played Genshin Impact, but after hearing this, I’m going to try it.”

“I used to be a MiHoYo hater, but this one’s kinda hard to hate now.”

“Genshin has gone global—why do I feel a sense of accomplishment? It’s like my own pig finally learned to root up someone else’s cabbage.”

“…”

This celebration event for the upcoming overseas launch received overwhelming praise from almost all Genshin Impact players on the Xia country servers.

Of course,

it wasn’t just because the rewards were good—more likely, it was a sense of pride.

In recent years,

many Chinese gamers who played overseas titles often heard foreigners say: “Chinese games? Even dogs won’t play them!”

This wasn’t just joking banter—it was genuine contempt.

China’s unique historical background has instilled in nearly every Chinese person a deep-seated national pride.

Hearing those foreigners say such things usually sparked intense anger.

In other areas, these people could shut those foreigners up completely—but in gaming, they had no solid rebuttal.

So they could only weakly reply with “M” or “FKU.”

But now, this situation seems about to change—Genshin Impact’s high overseas pre-registration numbers suggest it could become a massive hit.

Next time those foreigners claim Chinese games are bad, we’ll at least have the confidence to fight back.
