"Alright, hurry up and come down for lunch, or you'll really go hungry."
Hei Xi covered her head and muttered something.
'I'm already full, why am I still eating...'
But before he could finish speaking, Xia Yu turned around.
She pretended not to have said anything and followed behind him nonchalantly.
……
Bronya left for work early.
Therefore, there were only Xia Yuxi'er, Ai Lixia, and two others at home.
Kuroshi was unable to resist the overwhelming enthusiasm of Alicia.
So, not long after going downstairs, he switched back to Bai Xi's personality.
Xier recalled the scene of being bullied by her older sister Alicia and her older brother Xia Yu last night.
I was incredibly shy.
Naturally, he didn't dare stay with the two of them for too long.
So she suggested that she make lunch herself.
Then he hurriedly ran into the kitchen.
Alicia saw Seele in this state.
I found it somewhat amusing.
However, she did not organize it.
After all, Eden and Seele had similar reactions back then.
Once you get used to it, that's all.
Naturally, facial features become crucial.
Xia Yu had one arm around Alicia's slender waist.
In one hand, she held those delicate, snow-white feet, carelessly playing with them.
Their attention was also focused on the TV series.
Alicia, on the other hand, was enjoying this peaceful and tranquil vacation.
I started chatting with some friends in the chat group.
no doubt.
The terrifying popularity of the game "Honor of Kings".
This naturally piqued the interest of many young women in the group chat.
Although these girls weren't initially very interested in MOBA games.
But this game was, after all, made by Xia Yu.
That's the point.
They were determined to give it a try no matter what.
However, this was before the game was officially launched.
They knew that "Honor of Kings" had a most dangerous enemy.
That's Tencent's MOBA game, "League of Legends Mobile".
This game is incredibly famous.
Even the girls in the group who don't play games much have heard of this name.
They could even vaguely sense it...
Employees like Gan Yu, Bronya, and Padphilis, who work at miHoYo, encountered this game.
The tone of voice will also become quite serious.
Can be imagined.
Just how strong are their opponents this time?
however.
Just after Kiana, Theresa, Ying, Xing, March 7th and others went to try it out.
Everyone's expression turned strange.
The level of our opponents this time.
It seems that, in a certain sense...
This truly exceeded everyone's expectations.
[Kiana: @Bronya, I hope I didn't download the wrong game or Bronya mispronounced the game's name? This is the so-called most dangerous opponent in *Honor of Kings* that you mentioned? I don't think it's anything special. The game even has a lot of bugs, and the controls are terrible. It's not even as good as those PC MOBA games that copy *League of Legends*.]
Theresa: Yes, the performance of "League of Legends Mobile" is indeed surprising. I didn't expect them to release such an unfinished product.
[Star: Goodness, I was so nervous when Sister Gan Yu and Sister Yin Lang mentioned this, but it turns out it was all unnecessary worry!]
[March 7th: From any angle, Xia Yu's "Honor of Kings" completely crushes "League of Legends Mobile"!]
[Bai Lu: Just now, when I was playing that penguin game, the screen turned into a dazzling display of light when I used a skill; it almost blinded me.]
[Ying: And the controls in this game feel really weird. The sound effects for both normal attacks and skills feel out of place.]
[Hu Tao: It's like Garen and Ahri are okay, but many of the heroes released later have big problems. It's like they were rushed out of time. They might be fine on their own, but if they're added to team fights or when they're fighting other heroes, bugs appear quite frequently. Does Tencent not test these heroes even after they've finished them?]
[Cirin: This is supposed to be a top-tier game company, how could they produce such a sloppy game, even worse than a new game released just a month or two ago?]
[Huo Huo: Hmm, compared to that, Teacher Xia Yu's new game is so much more interesting. The visual experience is so much better than the mobile version of League of Legends.]
Kiana: Yes, the art style, skill effects, and gameplay feel are completely different from Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3. If I didn't know this was Xia Yu's game, I definitely wouldn't have thought it was made by miHoYo, because the styles are so different.
[Raiden Mei: But does this mean that Xia Yu was hiding his true abilities?]
[March 7th: Yes, it's incredibly difficult for an artist to abandon their established style and switch to another, because habits are formed, and changing them isn't something that can be done overnight. Just think about how much effort Xia Yu put into creating this game.]
[Barbara: Especially since there are so many skins in it, I really like the Zixia Fairy set, it looks so cool, and the ultimate skill can even make you float around.]
[Black Tower: With so many skins, it must have taken a lot of effort to design them, right?]
[Padofilis: Of course! I heard that many of the skins were designed by Xia Yu and Gretchen, such as Li Bai's Millennium Fox, Han Xin's Street Fighter and White Dragon, Luna's Purple Fairy, Lu Bu's Doomsday Mech, and many legendary limited skins that haven't been released yet. Each one is a masterpiece and has received unanimous approval from the art design department.]
[Huo Huo: Wow, that's amazing!]
[Bai Lu: Wow, how many skins did they design? I just checked, and there are at least two or three for each hero.]
[Star: Skins are the most profitable part of MOBA games. You could say that as long as the game continues to operate and more skins are released, miHoYo will earn even more. If they're not stupid, they'll design as many skins as possible. The only question is how well players will accept a mobile version of a MOBA game. Personally, I think even if it can't surpass Genshin Impact in the short term, as long as its debut was half as good, it will eventually surpass the former.]

[Huo Huo: I see. That explains why Boss Xia Yu makes so many fun games but releases them all as free-to-play. But if players don't spend money, won't the boss not make any money?]
[Fu Hua: There's no need to worry too much about this. Honkai Impact 3 and Genshin Impact actually use the same model as Honor of Kings, except the former uses gacha mechanics while the latter uses skins. They both attract players by offering free-to-play items. If players find it fun, they will naturally be willing to spend money to buy in-game virtual items. Genshin Impact does this particularly well.]
[Ying: After all, it's the world's first truly open-world game. Plus, with the support of Eden and Alicia, as well as various domestic and international streamers, its launch performance rivaling the peak results of League of Legends and PUBG is already quite impressive.]
[March 7th: It's a pity that Genshin Impact's current map is relatively small and the story isn't progressing too quickly, which is why it's experiencing player attrition.]
[Bronya: This is unavoidable. The lack of a PvP mechanism like in competitive games inevitably puts Genshin Impact at a disadvantage compared to League of Legends and Battle Royale. However, you don't need to worry too much. Xia Yu has already considered this issue and has a solution in place.]
[Star: Wow, so fast?]
[Cirin: As expected of the boss.]
[Hu Tao: I'm not entirely sure, but since the boss has a solution, then there's no problem.]
[Bai Lu: I wonder what kind of results "Honor of Kings" will achieve this time?]
[Padophilis: I've heard from my supervisors that MOBA and shooting game players make up half of the entire gaming community, and they're also the most aggressive spenders. Currently, there isn't a single MOBA game in China that can truly stand out. Many people initially thought this would emerge from games like *League of Legends Mobile* and *Honor of Kings Mobile*, but unfortunately, *League of Legends Mobile* has faltered and no longer poses a threat. Therefore, if *Honor of Kings* can gain player approval, its debut performance will likely be phenomenal.]
Kiana: This is all thanks to the contrast provided by League of Legends Mobile.
[Theresa: I just checked the forums on the Origin platform and found that many Tencent fans who previously praised "League of Legends Mobile" and belittled "Honor of Kings" have collectively lost their temper and are now hurling insults at the bottom of the "League of Legends Mobile" homepage.]
[March 7th: Hmph, they deserve it. Who told them to be so brainless, spouting nonsense before the game even came out?]
[Ying: Thanks to Tencent, many Tencent fans have unfollowed and switched to Honor of Kings. Many others said they were too loud the other day and bought a skin to support Xia Yu's new game.]
[Huo Huo: Hahaha!]
[Sirin: It seems the debut results were pretty good. Even someone like me, who hasn't played many MOBA games, found this game very fun. I think others feel the same way.]
[Star: And most importantly, this is a mobile game, so you can play it anytime, anywhere with people around you, greatly improving the convenience of the game. It means many players no longer need to rely on the PC version of "League of Legends". If nothing unexpected happens, "Honor of Kings" should soon become the most convenient social game for students or office workers.]
[Hu Tao: If you calculate it this way, the game's profits will probably become more and more terrifying as it progresses. After all, games like this are definitely more fun with more people. Each player can at least invite one or two friends, and then those friends can invite even more... Wow, Sister Gan Yu said before that this is Boss Xia Yu's trump card. Could this game surpass Genshin Impact in the future?]
[Bai Lu: !!! Genshin Impact's daily revenue of over 20 billion is already outrageous. Given its current update frequency of one to two months and its explosive revenue, its annual income should be between 50 billion and 100 billion. If Honor of Kings can surpass Genshin Impact, wouldn't that mean its annual income would be at least over 100 billion?]
See this.
Everyone in the group gasped in shock.
I was deeply moved by what my friend said.
