Ayaka's Date; AD Launches a Game, Code Name: Star Waves Impact!

Just as the tag said.

Tonight, we all embark on path of the Hunt.

...

After hearing the news, Xia Wen was shocked and blurted out, "Damn it, Galaxy Rangers!"

-------------------------

Xia Wen did not expect that the scene of the Galaxy Rangers that was supposed to be completed in Penacony was suddenly enacted by everyone after the PV of the Xianzhou.

This triggered a craze around the world, with everyone claiming to become a pathstrider of the Hunt.

This emotion was so magically consistent with the concept of the Galaxy Rangers.

"Boothill hasn't appeared yet."

"When he shows up in Penacony, won't these people go crazy?"

Just as Xia Wen was thinking, not far away, Ayaka, who was wearing a white dress, was clenching her hands and staring at Xia Wen's back.

After a long time, she took a deep breath, walked behind Xia Wen, and whispered:

"Boss, boss."

Xia Wen looked down and saw Ayaka standing in front of him nervously.

Her hands were clasped together, looking a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Xia Wen asked softly. Seeing this, he was slightly worried and said, "Have you encountered any difficulties in the company recently?"

Ayaka shook her head, and a hint of red appeared on her neck.

Xia Wen frowned but did not speak, and waited patiently for Ayaka to speak.

Finally, Ayaka plucked up the courage, bravely looked into Xia Wen's eyes, and said what was in her heart. "Boss! I want..."

"I am Shuhu, the Emanator of Yaoshi, The Merciful One, THE One and Only Master of Immortality!" Suddenly, Sparkle, wearing a Shuhu mask, jumped out from the side, made faces at Ayaka, and put on a posture that looked particularly threatening.

"Humph! You want to be beaten!"

"Stop right there!"

"Don't run!"

Behind Sparkle, March 7th, Stelle, and Fu Xuan, each holding a makeshift weapon, were angrily chasing after her.

"Hehe!" Sparkle turned around and made a happy sound facing them, then jumped away.

'Damn, you really are not afraid of death, Sparkle.' Xia Wen looked at Sparkle in surprise as she went away.

As Sparkle provoked everyone near her along the way, the girls, who were already immersed in sadness, followed behind her and wanted to attack her.

But Sparkle was not afraid and laughed even more happily.

"This little girl seem to be a little too happy." Xia Wen complained, then turned around.

It was just that Ayaka's speech had just been interrupted, and now, she could no longer muster the courage to speak out.

She lowered her head dejectedly, but noticed Xia Wen's gaze.

Ayaka knew that she had to find an excuse now. She didn't have the courage to say that again. She could only pretend to be relaxed and compiled "I just wanted to ask the boss if he was free on Sunday. I found a particularly delicious restaurant and wanted to invite the boss to eat together."

"I have been in the company for so long, and boss has always taken good care of me. I haven't done anything yet, so I want to express my gratitude."

After saying this, she felt relieved.

Xia Wen should be busy with the filming, so she could get away with it.

However, the words she didn't say still made Ayaka feel a little regretful and lost.

"Okay. Pick a time on Sunday, I still have an hour or two of free time." Xia Wen said.

He thought it was something else.

"Eh? Oh, OK, OK!" Ayaka was stunned for a moment, then a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, and she became visibly excited. Although she didn't say what she wanted to say, the boss agreed to go out for dinner with her.

'But I just said it casually. No, I have to go back to find a suitable restaurant tonight. The boss didn't mention anyone else, so there are only the two of us, then isn't it almost a date.' A blush appeared on Ayaka's white neck.

Then, she raised her head and said happily, "Then I will wait for the boss on Sunday morning!"

"Okay, go ahead." Xia Wen smiled and waved his hand.

He watched Ayaka leave with a smile. "Maybe it's because they haven't been assigned work recently, so they feel a little uneasy?"

He guessed in his heart.

Then, he shook his head and came to the office. Ganyu didn't know where she went.

But the documents on the table had been laid out in the correct order.

Sitting on the chair, Xia Wen scanned the documents.

It is obvious that Honkai: Star Rail had already established a firm foothold in the world.

Especially the PVs and the episodes of Herta Space Station, Belobog and the introduction of the Xianzhou, which made people all over the world cry.

More importantly, the Xianzhou arc, it is a complete mix of traditional and Sci-Fi style.

Many audiences are seriously exposed to such a complete mix of traditional and Sci-Fi style for the first time.

For them, it is undoubtedly very novel. Various factors added up to the explosion of the series.

Now in many places, products related to Honkai: Star Rail were sold very hotly.

It even led to some local industries booming.

This is the power of the information age. If you score a little, you can drive a piece, and it will be unstoppable in the end.

The official media endorsement was also a great help.

'But it's not enough...' Xia Wen flipped through a few pages and smacked his lips.

In the data collected by Ganyu, there were still some negative reviews.

But Xia Wen has confidence.

"They haven't seen enough. It should be done after they finish watching Xianzhou and start watching Penacony."

Xia Wen smiled, threw the report aside, and started working at his desk.

A good number of music scores more exciting than the other, was released in Xianzhou and Belobog.

After that, it's Penacony.

"The Honkai: Star Rail music album also can be released soon. 

"Robin has already started preparing for her concert."

"After the filming of the Xianzhou, we can build one for the concert site in the theme park. It's not impossible to hold a concert there."

"Ayaka, Furina, Chiori, I also need to find something for them to do."

"And then, recruiting people! The present people are far from enough!"

Future plans were written down in documents by Xia Wen.

...

At the same time.

On the other side. Inside AC, dozens of staff members are holding a swearing-in ceremony.

The great success of Honkai: Star Rail has made everyone in AC's eyes red.

Going global and expanding the market, they too dream of this.

In order to please more audiences, AC's worked hard to plagiarize a variety of series featuring different types of themes.

As a result, the release of Honkai: Star Rail shocked the world.

Zheng An was dumbfounded.

Zheng An suddenly felt that it was good to try out his old and tested strategy.

He is not good at originality, but isn't plagiarism his forte?

Following the path of Honkai: Star Rail and doing traditional + Sci-Fi style, he can draw some viewers and paying some money or charity he to can also get endorsements.

Isn't this the path to taking off directly?

Standing on the podium, Zheng An was very excited.

"Honkai: Star Rail has proven that the new style is mixing up of different themes and not to hold onto a single theme, as long as we make a mid-range mixed theme drama, add some gimmicks and make the plot good, we too will have a huge market!"

"Moreover, at present, only Honkai: Star Rail is embracing this kind of mixed theme style, which can be said to be a huge cake without much competition!"

"We just need to create this innovative style drama and we can also sweep the global market!"

Speaking of this, Zheng An smiled proudly. "Honkai: Star Rail is very powerful so far, unprecedented and unrivaled, but unfortunately, it is too arrogant."

"It has verified the success of the previous chapters, so we should copy them according to this model."

"But it seems that Mihoyo wants to make innovations in every new chapter. They don't know that if they take too big a step, they can end up making trouble!"

"It did so well in the beginning, now if it slackens even a little later on, there will be big problems!"

"After Belobog, it is Xianzhou. Xianzhou had such a brilliant and popular opening, so what about the next one? Can it still perform so brilliantly?"

Zheng An smiled contemptuously, as if he saw the day when he successfully stole the chicken behind its owner's back.

"If Mihoyo's next chapter is not as good as Xianzhou's, all their previous efforts will become our wedding dress."

"As long as our new mixed theme drama can catch up after the end of the Xianzhou voyage and be broadcast globally."

Zheng An didn't believe at all that Mihoyo could make such an exaggerated drama better than the previous one in every chapter.

This has never happened in the history of entertainment. Even those top series are getting worse and worse.

How can Mihoyo do it?

Zheng An, who was confident, told his plan.

"The traditional style must be there, and the gimmicks must be full! Add some science fiction and fantasy."

"Many audiences like doomsday themes, so let's incorporate doomsday into them as well!"

"Combined with some traditional martial arts, make up for the lack of special effects."

"I've also thought of a name."

"Code name: Star Waves Impact!"

"If you don't make a sound, you'll be amazing."

"The momentum is like a wave, unmatched!"

Under Zheng An's well-reasoned speech, the employees below actually thought that it seemed to be true!

So they all cheered and Zheng An too smiled.

He was going to come from behind and steal the chicken. No one could stop him. He said it himself.

Moreover, this plan was approved by the top management. AC headquarters would invest a large sum of money as additional investment.

"When it is almost done, I will learn from Honkai: Star Rail and make a few PVs to send out and attract a lot of traffic from MiHoYo."

After the birth of the project was confirmed within AC, AC started to make a drama with nearly 15 million dollar investment. It has a traditional theme, science fiction, and doomsday with a sprinkle of fantasy genre. It focuses on the global market.

The filming is progressing smoothly and is expected to be online soon. Various traffic articles have appeared on major news websites. It has aroused heated discussions.

...

The next day.

MiHoYo.

Everyone who heard the news that AC was creating a huge drama gathered together worriedly.

They were a small company before, and although Honkai: Star Rail was a big hit.

But the self-confidence of a big company has not been cultivated.

Now they have to face a behemoth like AC.

Everyone's confidence is inevitably hit.

The only one whose confidence was not hit was Xia Wen.

Looking at the news, his face was complicated, and he wanted to say something several times, but finally stopped.

Looking at Sparkle who was happily playing with the plush doll not far away.

He really doubted whether this matter was caused by Sparkle, a fun person.

Could it be that there really is a Joyful Aeon here?

"This is too much."

"Star Waves Impact"

"Traditional style, Doomsday, Sci-Fi."

"And what AC meant was that they bet that the plot wouldn't explode again after the end of the Xianzhou arc, and then steal the traffic from the next arc?"

"Man, is this true? You're going to use this to play against Penacony? To play against Sunday and Aventurine?"

Xia Wen scratched his head, confused whether to laugh or cry on behalf of AC.

-------------------------

Author's little corner:

The game developed by AC was renamed by me to Star Waves Impact, whereas the original name by the author in the raw was Wuthering Waves. I didn't need for a drama like this is better or that is better, so I renamed the game.

Also has anyone played Wuthering Waves here? How is it compared to Genshin or Honkai: Star Rail? Will it be able to hold itself against them? Your opinions!!
