Netizens were immediately excited when they saw the video.
"No, Lin Gou, why do you have so many roles, but I don't?"
"Upstairs, didn't the video say at the beginning that it was recorded during the game's testing phase? It's probably for explanation purposes, which means these characters will be available later."
"Wow, I like this Gan Yu, hehehe."
"Liking everything will only hurt you. Look at your wallet first."
"Waaaaah, stop talking! I just spent 648 yuan twice and only got a Venti, and he's a support. My friends, does anyone understand?"
"Don't worry, according to my prediction, the game will gradually release new featured characters based on the future development of the story, while the old characters will not be available again for a long time. It will be difficult to get them later, so it's worth it to pull for them."
"Wow, the person upstairs is an analysis genius."
"Brothers, haven't you guys played Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars? The characters in it are the same as in this game, only the models aren't as cool."
"Of course, that's the kind of cool skill I want to use. That one-hit kill from the previous PV was so cool it made me cry."
"Indeed, but who was the one who blocked Wuxiang's attack? I thought Lu Bu was invincible, but I didn't expect there to be someone so brave."
"I looked at the map, and only Mondstadt is open so far. I wonder which map will be open next?"
"What? I've already run myself to death in Mondstadt, and there are other maps? Seriously, Lin Gou, release a mount, I'll even spend money on it."
"That's right, that's right, I think Tvalin is pretty good."
At this moment, the surfing expert named Lin Chen replied to the comment again.
"How about this one? [doge emoji] [doge emoji] [Appepp.jpg]"
When netizens opened the picture, they saw that a giant dragon emerged from the vast yellow sand, its two eyes emitting a dazzling light.
Wow, it's huge!
"A bigger one is better, that way I can get to Mondstadt in a flash."
"Haha, buddy upstairs, you've been misled. Lin Gou is just teasing you."
Lin Chen was having a great time chatting with netizens online when Brother Dawei walked in excitedly.
"Boss, I didn't expect that the release of Genshin Impact would also drive a surge in downloads for Genshin Impact Prequel: Demon Wars. It's a pleasant surprise."
"Not bad, not bad. It seems that netizens are also looking forward to the characters in Genshin Impact. We need to put more effort into the later storyline and not let the netizens down."
"Don't worry, boss. I think this game can leave a lasting mark on the history of Chinese games. Even if you didn't say so, we would still do our best to make it."
"Okay, let's get off work early. I'm leaving now."
Lin Chen stood up, walked out of the office, and called An Rou to go home together.
Meanwhile, Little Ma was sitting in his office, pondering a question: how to replicate Genshin Impact.
After what happened with "Honor of Kings," he realized that the graphics and modeling of a game cannot be skimped on; money and time must be invested where necessary.
If they had copied the map from Genshin Impact: War of the Gods when they first released Honor of Kings, perhaps its reputation wouldn't have collapsed so badly in the early stages.
But this time, if someone were to copy it carefully, that employee named "The Despicable Painter" would probably go blind from looking at the map so much that it's just too, too, too big.
He thought about it all night but couldn't come up with a good solution, after all, this kind of game was a first for him.
However, one person's plan is short-sighted, while three people's plans are long-sighted.
After Xiao Ma arrived at the company, he immediately went to Wu Manni's game development department, where Wu Manni is now a director.
"Mr. Ma!"
"Mr. Wu, I just have a question: how long would it take to copy Genshin Impact?"
The moment Wu Manni saw Little Ma, she had a bad feeling, and sure enough, it was just as she thought.
"Well... Mr. Ma, as you can see, Genshin Impact is such a huge game, with its characters, buildings, terrain, and even the plants outside the buildings."
Moreover, the reactions of various elements are quite different from those in *Genshin Impact: Prequel - Demon Wars*. We didn't need to copy the most troublesome aspects of that game—heroes and skills—because we already had them. We only needed to copy the map, which was quite quick.
Little Ma paused for a moment.
"Call your department's core creative team over here, let's have a meeting to discuss this."
"By the way, Mr. Ma, someone submitted their resignation to me this morning, and I was just about to discuss it with you."
"Oh? Who is it that deserves your attention so much?"
"Feng Ji!"
"Feng Ji?" Little Ma shook his head. "I have absolutely no recollection of him. Did he make any special contributions?"
"Well, not yet, but he did submit a proposal for a single-player AAA game based on the Journey to the West."
“There are probably dozens, if not hundreds, of these kinds of proposals every year. Moreover, the environment in China is different from that abroad. Making single-player 3A games is purely out of passion. You can burn money and still not necessarily get results. I want to copy Genshin Impact, but I don’t have that much money to burn. Let him go.”
"All right."
Wu Manni replied regretfully.
Afterwards, she gathered a group of middle and senior managers and key technical personnel in the conference room.
When everyone saw that Brother Ma had actually arrived, they immediately sat up straight.
But when Pony Ma asked everyone how long it would take to copy Genshin Impact, they all fell silent.
Little Ma directly called out names.
"Which one of these despicable artists is it?"
A slightly shy young man wearing glasses stood up from the corner.
"Hello Mr. Ma, I am the despicable painter, my name is Chen Hua."
"Um, hello, I wanted to ask you, like last time, how long would it take you to copy the map from Genshin Impact?"
"It would probably take about a year if I didn't eat, drink, or sleep."
"So long?"
Chen Hua said with a long face, "Yes, Mr. Ma, the last Genshin Impact Prequel - Demon War was 2D, and I could walk around that map in a few seconds. But I played Genshin Impact all night yesterday, and I still couldn't explore every corner of Mondstadt."
"What if we send you more people?"
"Useless Mr. Ma, when I was exploring the map last night, I discovered that the Genshin Impact map is incredibly vast. Mondstadt is just a small part of it. I didn't do any quests; I just walked there and ended up in a place called Liyue Harbor. The classical city walls and bricks there are so different from one another! How am I supposed to copy that?"
"Isn't there any other way?"
Chen Hua thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Ma, even if copying Genshin Impact is successful, it would be too obvious. A slight similarity could be a coincidence, but to have such a large map that is the same is just too shameless... cough cough. So, instead of copying, why not develop a mobile game with similar gameplay yourself?"
