When this result was first released.
Let alone these viewers and fans.
Even Xia Yu himself was somewhat surprised.
Although he knew that "Honor of Kings" would eventually become the leading MOBA game in the country.
But he never expected that it would only be less than ten days.
It displayed such sharpness.
It immediately surged to third place on the sales charts.
He was very curious about what had happened during this time.
How come so many players are spending money on "Honor of Kings"?
Eager to know the answer, he immediately started browsing the comments section.
……
—【Holy crap, miHoYo is on fire again this month.】
—【This is absolutely terrifying! The top ten spots on the overall rankings are all held by miHoYo products.】
—【Mijia Games, invincible; Master Xia Yu, accomplished in both literature and martial arts, will reign supreme for eternity.】
—【Wow, this is awesome!】
—[Am I even saved if I'm playing all four games?]
——【6666】
—【Damn, I'd starve after playing one game for a month, and you play four in a month? Are you a rich guy?】
—【It's really strange. Why are three out of the four games released by Teacher Xia Yu free-to-play, yet they still managed to top the sales charts? I don't understand. No one is forcing anyone to spend money, and many free-to-play players have even managed to get characters and complete the games. I don't understand why so many people are willing to spend money to the point of living on instant noodles for a month just to play games.】
—【My life is already so miserable, can't I find happiness in games?】
——[Correct answer! 】
— [Indeed, reality has changed drastically; only games can bring us joy.]
—[Before miHoYo came out, I would only spend a hundred or two hundred yuan on games at most. Even if I really wanted more, I would carefully consider whether it was worth the money. But with miHoYo games, I can easily spend thousands of yuan without feeling bad, because these games bring me joy, allow me to forget the trivialities of life for a short time, and let me joke around with friends I haven't contacted in a long time. So no matter what, it's worth spending money on.]
—[Most importantly, the game's quality is truly exceptionally high.]
—【Yes, songs and animated shorts like "Queen's Descent," "The Last Lesson," "Goddess Splits the Temple," "Light Ripples," and "Water Dragon's Chant" are all top-notch productions. Xia Yu is willing to invest in this, even bringing in Eden, all to provide players with a better experience. Do you see other game companies doing that?】
—【Indeed, I remember very clearly that 'asking Teacher Eden to sing a song' was just a casual joke from a user in the live stream, but Teacher Xia Yu took it to heart and actually invited Teacher Eden over. This kind of person really… deserves to make money.】
—【However, I never expected that "Honor of Kings" would actually climb to third place on the overall sales chart.】
—【Yes, 28 billion in revenue in about ten days is probably not worse than Genshin Impact's last month. In some ways, it might even be better.】
—【But isn't this a game that was just released not long ago? I remember when Tencent and miHoYo's fans were arguing fiercely, neither side would give in, but after the game came out, it was completely one-sided. Tencent's "League of Legends Mobile" got a lot of flak. I didn't expect it to get so popular after I hadn't been paying attention for just a few days.】
—【Of course. Honor of Kings' debut also generated over a billion views, second only to Genshin Impact, which is already quite impressive. As more and more MOBA players are attracted to it, it's only a matter of time before this game surpasses Genshin Impact.】
—【But why did the revenue of "Honor of Kings" become so high in the following days? Shouldn't this kind of surge only occur during the debut or the climax of the storyline?】
—【What else could it be? Of course, it's Tencent's stupidity. They've ruined a perfectly good game like "League of Legends Mobile," no wonder players are angry.】
— [Yes, the higher these players' expectations were, the more they hated the game after its release. Several official Tencent accounts and the game's comment sections have been flooded with angry responses from League of Legends fans.]
—【Moreover, many players, in retaliation, went directly to "Honor of Kings" to spend money on in-game skins and generate revenue, contributing hundreds of millions of yuan to miHoYo's revenue.】
—【Holy crap, that's awesome.】
—【That's terrifying.】
—[Hahaha, if I were Teacher Xia Yu, I'd be laughing so hard I'd be numb.]
—【Yeah, he didn't do anything and a bunch of players are scrambling to send him money. I can't even imagine how angry Tencent must be.】
—【Angry? Do they even have the right to be angry? They made a game this awful and they have the nerve to be angry? I definitely won't play it. I'd rather play *Honor of Kings*, at least the graphics there are really pleasing to the eye.】

—【Huh? Are gamers all this crazy these days?】
— [Wow, just out of revenge, they spent hundreds of millions of dollars on their competitor's game. That's something only League of Legends players would do.]
—【This is what Tencent deserves. If you had taken the mobile version of League of Legends to even a little bit of seriousness, even if it couldn't compare to the PC version, fans wouldn't have been so incomprehensible. But you were so perfunctory, showing absolutely no sincerity, and it was completely crushed by miHoYo's MOBA game. Moreover, your subsequent cold-blooded approach to fans' inquiries and questions only made things worse. It's understandable that players were so upset.】
Ultimately, Tencent is driven by capital, and capital treats players as tools to make money, completely disregarding what you say.
— [Yes, a game of this caliber wouldn't even rank in the top ten among new releases, but even so, it still grossed nearly ten million.]
—【After all, Tencent has a huge fan base, and there will definitely be die-hard fans and suckers willing to rush to give them money; you can't stop them.】
—【However, compared to this tens of millions in revenue, Teacher Xia Yu's side is worth billions, a difference of hundreds of times. The two games are simply incomparable.】
—【Teacher Xia Yu is truly conscientious. Although miHoYo is also backed by capital, at least they understand what players like and want. That's why every game this company produces is a hit, and countless players and fans buy into it. In my opinion, miHoYo's ability to top the Game Developers Festival sales charts for two consecutive months is absolutely flawless.】
—[Not to mention the upcoming releases of *Honkai Impact 3rd* (*Star Railway*) and *Pokémon Gold and Silver* next month, both sequels that are highly anticipated!]
—[I'm making a prediction here: these two new games will definitely break 100 million RMB in sales on their debut and top the daily sales charts.]
—[I laughed. So far, which miHoYo game hasn't grossed over 100 million RMB on its debut? *Honor of Kings* and *Genshin Impact* are practically earning billions a month! Even top international titles like *PUBG Mobile* and *League of Legends* are around that level.]
—【Sigh, I play League of Legends for an hour during the day, PUG for an hour, and in the afternoon I play Honkai Impact 3rd and Genshin Impact to complete my daily tasks, while also farming for shiny Pokémon and completing my Pokédex. Finally, in the evening I play Honor of Kings with my friends in a three-player squad. I just can't keep up, I really can't. I'm afraid Xia Yu's Star Railway will also be incredibly fun.】
—[And I remember the new game was positioned as a secondary game, so it shouldn't take as long to release as Genshin Impact.]
—[Anyway, putting everything else aside, the characters March 7th and Little Azure Dragon that have been released so far are really cool. Just for those two characters alone, I'll definitely go and try it out.]
—【Yes, March 7th is absolutely adorable! How can there be such a beautiful girl?】
—[This girl is so energetic, she's bound to be ruthless when she gets hurt later!]
——【？】
——【？ ？ ？】
—[This is what a twisted fan of Honkai Impact 3 looks like.]
—【What a great person!】
—[Ever since "The Last Lesson" was released, all Honkai Impact 3rd fans are worried that their favorite characters might be nerfed.]
—【It hurts, it hurts so much, my dear Himeko-sensei.】
—[Speaking of which, has anyone heard any inside information about the game "Star Trek" lately?]
—【Not quite sure!】
— [Recently, the insider has revealed relatively little information. All we know is that, like in Genshin Impact, the protagonist is a choice between a male and a female character, but the female lead seems to be quite handsome.]
—【I heard that Professor Xia Yu is going to the Shark Carnival event recently; I saw his name on the invitation list.】
--【ah!】
—【The Shark Carnival actually managed to get Mr. Xia Yu? That's amazing!】
—[Thinking about it carefully, it seems that when Teacher Xia Yu first became popular, he was explaining Pokémon on Shark Live, and now he has directly transitioned into a video blogger.]
—【This is fine too, since I can't guarantee I'll be able to watch the live stream on time every time, but I can watch the video after get off work.】
—【Teacher Xia Yu is going to the Shark Carnival? Holy crap, I just bought a ticket.】
—[Is Teacher Xia Yu also going to perform on stage?]
— Is it true or false?
—[Does Shark Carnival really have enough experience? It feels like Xia Yu's fanbase alone could crush a whole bunch of other streamers.]
—【It's also possible they're just there for fun; after all, they're special guests and might not actually perform on stage.】
—【But I feel like someone as secretive as him wouldn't waste a single opportunity to promote the game. Isn't *Star Trek* about to launch? Maybe he's just going there to promote the new game.】
—【Holy crap, now that you mention it, it's actually quite possible.】
—[While the Shark Carnival can't compare to large-scale celebrations, it features top streamers from the platform, with many boasting hundreds of thousands or even millions of viewers, so the audience is sure to be huge.]
—[Hopefully, we'll hear news of new works then.]
