Rita's good friend was easy to guess; it was definitely a certain 'Valkyrie'.
This meant that, barring any surprises, the miHoYo studio was about to welcome a new 'Valkyrie'.
A thought surfaced in Su Luo's mind.
He hadn't expected to experience the joy of a gacha pull even while managing a game studio in a modern urban world.
And you know what? This feeling was actually quite pleasant.
Perhaps, when the time was right in the future, he could invite even more Honkai Impact 3rd characters to join the miHoYo studio?
For example, finding a certain pink-haired elven lady to be the poster girl.
Who wouldn't like a beautiful, elegant, and understanding big sister?
Of course, this was all under the premise that the pink-haired elven lady actually existed in this world.
Although he had already seen many famous characters, it didn't necessarily mean everyone existed.
"Su Luo, what are your thoughts?" Rita's voice prompted Su Luo, who had suddenly become immersed in his own world.
"Me...?"
Su Luo smiled faintly. "It seems Rita is very confident in this Honkai Impact 3rd project."
Rita had previously declined her good friend's requests to help several times.
But now she was proactively suggesting it, which clearly indicated her confidence in the Honkai Impact 3rd project.
"I believe Honkai Impact 3rd will absolutely be a work that sweeps the nation."
Rita placed the trash in her hand into the bin, lightly patting the dust from her fingers, her movements elegant, as if her persona as the perfect secretary was unbreakable.
"Bringing my friend to the current miHoYo should be to her advantage."
"Since it's someone you're recommending, Rita, let's have her come in for an interview."
Su Luo looked at the office, which looked brand new after Rita's tidying. "I believe that excellent people always gather other excellent people around them."
"Is that a compliment? Then I'll graciously accept it."
Rita pursed her lips lightly, a glint flashing in her pupils, like red wine swirling in a goblet.
"Rest assured, her abilities are very strong. I am your secretary now, so naturally, I also need to consider the company's interests."
"Hmm?" Su Luo let out a soft sound of inquiry. "Rita, when did you become my secretary?"
"Because, you are now miHoYo's boss~~"
Tap~~ Tap~~
Rita took two steps, her long, slender, perfectly toned legs crossing to form an alluring scene.
Even Su Luo, who had a strong heart and had just been lecturing the 'Valkyries', found his gaze uncontrollably drifting downwards for a fleeting moment.
When he looked up, however, he met Rita's slightly playful gaze.
"So, naturally, I must transfer from Theresa's side. Or perhaps..."
Her demeanor was proper, her tone unhurried, her expression earnest.
"You don't need a personal secretary?"
In truth, Rita's role at miHoYo was less a secretary and more an administrative staff member juggling multiple roles.
Accounting, front desk... and so on, all fell within her scope of work.
"This..."
What old cadre could withstand such a test?
Could anyone possibly refuse?
Well, he couldn't.
Su Luo's lips pressed together, and he nodded.
"Of course, I do."
...
...
In the period that followed, things got on track.
With Su Luo and Bronya coordinating on programming, there were basically no problems.
With Mei for art, and others assisting, there weren't any major issues there either.
The only thing definitely lacking was professional voice actors.
However, fortunately, they were producing Honkai Impact 3rd. Theoretically, they could achieve even more perfect voice acting effects than in Su Luo's previous life without any extra expenditure.
After all, could the miHoYo on Earth actually find Valkyries to do the voice acting themselves?
"I have an objection!"
"I also have an objection!"
In the studio's recording booth, everyone sat in a circle after reading the scripts in their hands. Kiana and Theresa couldn't sit still.
"What objections do you have?"
Su Luo asked, putting down the equipment he had just finished adjusting. In his previous life, he had voiced male protagonists for adult games, so he was quite familiar with this equipment.
"Am I really that silly?!" Theresa slammed the table, questioning, "Theresa is not Theresa-silly!"
"Exactly, exactly," Kiana nodded repeatedly beside her.
"..."
He never would have imagined that they themselves would complain about their characters being silly after reading the Honkai Impact 3rd script.
Rita, however, spoke up for Su Luo from the side. "I think this script is quite good, especially that line, 'Theresa is still as cute as a doll.' It particularly resonates with me."
As for her appearing like a villain in the script...
She didn't care about that at all, not angry in the slightest. At most, she just wouldn't add sugar to Su Luo's coffee today.
"What's good about it!"
Theresa pointed to a certain plot point in the script, her face full of displeasure. "This S-rank Valkyrie, sounds very impressive, but why does she do nothing but get beaten up throughout the entire storyline?"
"I seriously suspect you're targeting me, Su Luo!!"
Facing the agitated Theresa, Su Luo remained silent for a moment, then could only reply with a deadpan expression.
"You can understand it as 'plot necessity'. We can't just let you go all out and trigger the grand finale right away, can we? How would we make money then?"
"This..."
Theresa was speechless, but she still looked uncomfortable. "But I really can't voice this kind of character who just gets beaten up and acts cute."
Clearly, she was so full of dignity!
"This is work, Theresa."
Su Luo patted her small shoulder, then made an empty promise that might not be fulfilled for who knows how long.
"At worst, I'll add a highlight moment for you later. Let you punch Herrschers, stomp on Finality, and fight until no one in the world dares to call themselves supreme."
"How about it?"
"This, this... Alright, then." Theresa finally nodded.
As for Kiana, she had already been persuaded by Mei and Himeko.
Things like "losing some IQ is a necessary sacrifice to become the female protagonist."
And "this isn't stupidity, it's naivete and optimism."
Such bewildering statements.
They had actually managed to convince Kiana.
Su Luo expressed that even he was stunned listening to it. That actually worked?
As expected of you, Buggy! Your IQ is inversely proportional to the number of little companions around you.
"Everyone looks like they're ready. Himeko, you come over first and voice this opening part."
Hearing Su Luo's call, Himeko walked over to the equipment.
"Don't be nervous. I know it's your first time, but you have to believe in yourself."
Su Luo encouraged her from the side. "This is your character, a character that belongs only to you. No one is more suitable than you."
"Well, I'm not a little girl, I don't need you to encourage me like this. But, thanks anyway."
Himeko said with a smile, then took a deep breath, recalling the script.
She began to try and immerse herself in the game character named 'Murata Himeko'.
Perhaps because the character was originally based on her, immersing herself was much simpler than she had imagined.
Her emotions synchronized at a certain moment, and her gaze instantly sharpened.
She felt as if she were on the bridge of the Hyperion, commanding the situation.
"Helios, this is Hyperion, report mission status!"
