Wu Manni is also downloading Genshin Impact. As a competitor, it's essential to study the other company's game. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if she didn't know anything when the boss asked.
This game is huge! It's even bigger than PC games, a full 10 GB!
After half an hour, the download was finally complete. Just as Wu Manni was about to open the game, she received a call from Xiao Ma's secretary, saying that Xiao Ma wanted to see her.
So she quickly put her phone away and went to Little Ma's office first.
"Mr. Ma, you wanted to see me."
Have you downloaded Genshin Impact, the new game from StarCraft Technology?
Wu Manni took out her phone and said, "I just downloaded it and haven't had a chance to open it yet. This is the first time I've seen a mobile game that's 10 GB in size."
"That's perfect, I just downloaded it too. Let's go into the game together and see if it's as amazing as the promotional video."
"good."
The two opened the game together, and the login screen prompted them to log in with a discounted account with one click.
Pony Ma's lips twitched. Tencent was actually plagiarized? Who can he complain to?
However, both he and Wu Manni readily chose the option to log in to their discounted accounts with one click.
Ahem, don't ask. The reason is that I'm researching our competitors.
Upon entering the game, instead of the usual character creation and faction selection steps found in traditional online games, there is an extremely long animation.
Little Ma and Wu Manni exchanged a glance. Wait, is this a game or an animated film?
Moreover, even if it starts with an introductory animation, it's far too long and can't be skipped.
There was nothing they could do but patiently watch.
The more I watched, the more horrified I became. Holy crap, the background music, the plot…
Finally, the animation ended, and we entered the mission selection screen, where we chose to choose between the older brother and the younger sister.
Little Ma chose the older brother, while Wu Manni chose the younger sister.
I was thinking I could finally get into the game, but the protagonist started fishing again and caught a Paimon.
Isn't that the icon for this game?
Could this little Paimon be the main character of the game?
That said, the background of the main siblings has been explained in great detail, but where did Paimon come from?
Well, I guess the game will tell players later on.
Then, Paimon begins to guide the protagonist into the game, where they encounter the first character in the game—Amber.
Indeed, this game is great for a reason. The character models are unmatched by other games, and these characters are not like NPCs in traditional online games, who just stand there waiting for you to turn in quests.
Over the next few hours, Xiao Ma and Wu Manni went to Mondstadt together. Even the buildings in Mondstadt were 3D, unlike some mobile games that just use a picture to make things look better.
You can even climb to the top of any building to enjoy the view in the distance.
I thought Mondstadt's modeling was already impressive enough, but I didn't expect there to be the Wind Dragon Ruins as well.
Moreover, this map is way too big. It would take at least ten minutes to run from Mondstadt to Stormterror's Lair on foot. Who wastes time running around in an online game?
In short, this game has many unreasonable aspects and does not conform to the original design intention of online games, but the more Xiao Ma Ge and Wu Man Ni played, the more serious their expressions became.
Upon opening the recharge interface, the game doesn't even have any paid items; there's only a place to recharge Primogems, and oh, there's also a monthly card for 30 yuan.
The only purpose of using Primogems is to draw characters.
This week's featured character is Venti, whose probability is increased.
Hey, isn't that the street urchin we just met in Mondstadt?
I didn't expect it to be a five-star character.
Little Ma used the raw stones he received to try his luck, but he didn't get the desired item. Instead, he got several Barbaras.
He made a tough decision and topped up 648 yuan, then kept topping up.
I didn't get it again.
I kept recharging and finally got it!
Upon opening the character panel, wow, this character even has constellations! Upgrading constellations unlocks new skills.
In order to thoroughly understand this game, Little Ma had no choice but to keep spending money.
After spending what might be ten 648 RMB recharges, I finally maxed out Venti's constellations, thinking I could one-shot Dvalin.
Unexpectedly, he was killed by Dvalin in one fell swoop.
"Braised chicken~"
Ma Ge angrily slammed his phone on the table.
"I've spent so much money, how come I'm still so weak? Lin Chen, do you even know how to make games?"
Meanwhile, the words "Challenge Successful" appeared on Wu Manni's phone screen.
A moment of silence fell over the office.
"Mr. Wu, how much money did you deposit?"
"Mr. Ma, I haven't topped up yet."
"Um?"
"Well... I think I just recharged 648."
Is there only one 648?
"Those two?"
"Um?"
Wu Manni was almost in tears: "Mr. Ma, how many 648s should I top up?"
Little Ma sighed, exited the game, and saw that it was already past six o'clock. He and Wu Manni had been playing for four hours straight.
"Mr. Wu, after playing this game all afternoon, what are your thoughts?"
Wu Manni pondered for a moment and said, "The modeling in this game is just too perfect. Compared to it, games like 'Dream of the West' and 'Legend of the West' are simply garbage. The maps, dungeons, bosses, and characters are completely outclassed. You could say the only problem right now is that the game is too big."
Little Ma nodded. Wu Manni's summary was very accurate. This was no longer a traditional online game. Star Technology's own description of the game was very accurate—an open-world adventure game!
Meanwhile, Weibo was already dominated by topics related to "Genshin Impact," with one trending topic after another.
"Wow, guys, this game is so high quality, it even gives me the feeling of playing Assassin's Creed."
"That's right, and every character in it has their own story and plot. In other games, these would be the main characters."
Is Venti, the first five-star character, really that strong? Has anyone pulled him? Can you explain?
"I think it's just so-so, the skill damage isn't high either."
Suddenly, a netizen with the nickname Lin Chen replied.
"Actually, Venti is a support-type five-star character. The core of this game is elemental reactions, which can be simply understood as the special effects produced by the combination of various elements, rather than just relying on the strength of the character. For example, Venti's Anemo element is used to gather enemies and increase damage. I hope everyone will explore more ways to play on their own."
Afterwards, Lin Chen released a video of a game test, in which Wendy teamed up with Gan Yu, Diona, and Mona. After unleashing a set of skills, the monsters were frozen in place and couldn't move at all. Gan Yu even killed the BOSS with a single arrow!
