Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

What David couldn't understand the most was Lin Li's statement that they wanted to have an all-female relationship.

This is contrary to miHoYo's overall approach.

If anyone else said it, David would just ignore it like a fart.

But this was said by Lin Li, and it was said casually by Lin Li.

He had no reason to lie about this, which is why David brought it up for discussion.

"It's most likely fake."

The operations manager of Genshin Impact spoke first, and then, as everyone's attention turned to him, he began to explain his arguments.

"This is actually quite simple. Currently, the revenue of Spark Games' two games, Battlefront Girls, which features only female characters, is lower than that of FGO, which features mixed characters. While the popularity of FATE certainly contributes to this, female players also play a significant role."

"Based on this logic, Lin Li must be lying. He couldn't possibly be blind to this comparison. There's no reason to push an all-female cast in Galaxy Paradise, which has a higher development cost."

"Moreover, if what he said is true, we should promote more male characters and seize the market."

These words were spoken.

Everyone nodded.

This analysis is clearly agreed upon.

Ultimately, everyone, including David, concluded that Lin Li, this old man, was definitely lying to them.

Since this is all a lie, then the subsequent claims about visiting miHoYo and the slow game progress are also obviously false.

However, the people at miHoYo are all masters of stress resistance.

After confirming once again that Lin Li was a scoundrel, their ambitions were only fueled.

Another day has passed in the blink of an eye.

Ren Xiaoli arrived at the company half an hour early, as usual.

I sat at the front desk and started tidying up.

It serves as the face of the entire Spark Games.

She's very beautiful.

However, Ren Xiaoli never let her good looks make her neglect her work.

One reason is her personality.

On the other hand, it's also because her ex-boyfriend apparently got fired for the same reason.

Spark Games doesn't support idlers.

This rule doesn't only apply to the game development department.

As the company's receptionist, her day always begins with a smile and a warm welcome in the morning.

But today is different.

From the moment she started work, she sat down at the front desk phone with two notebooks in her hand.

Next to her was a young woman who had been brought over from the operations and maintenance department.

She was Ren Xiaoli's temporary assistant.

At first, the assistant was quite confused when she was transferred here, wondering why a receptionist would need an assistant.

But she quickly understood why.

It was almost exactly a moment after 9 o'clock.

The phone at the front desk rang.

Ren Xiaoli answered the phone skillfully.

"Hello? This is Xinghuo Games. How can I help you?"

"Okay, okay, let me repeat it. Is it the Southern Metropolis Daily online platform?"

"Okay, you'd like to schedule it for this afternoon? Okay, I'll ask Mr. Lin for you. Okay, I'll get back to you in about half an hour. Okay..."

After finishing the phone call.

Ren Xiaoli did not stand up to look for Lin Li. Instead, she first opened the notebook on her left and searched from top to bottom until she reached the second page, where she found the Southern Metropolis Daily online platform.

"Although Southern Metropolis Daily is very strong, their website is terrible, at most it can be divided into three categories."

These words sounded like he was talking to himself, yet also like he was speaking to his assistant.

As he spoke, he opened the notebook on the right.

He turned to the second page, found a name on it, and then spoke to his assistant.

"Call the lead artist of 'The End of the Road' and ask if she's free this afternoon. If she is, I'd like to ask her to do an interview."

"Okay, okay."

The assistant nodded, and then made a phone call.

"Sure, Sister Li. Li Xinyu, the lead artist of 'The Promised Land,' said she's free and even asked if there's anything I should be aware of during the interview."

"Yes, I'll send it to her in advance."

The two had just finished speaking and hadn't even had a chance to say more.

Another call came in.

The whole morning.

Ren Xiaoli and her assistant were constantly busy.

I was constantly answering calls, arranging personnel, and then returning calls according to schedule.

At this moment.

The assistant then realized just how important the two notebooks in front of Ren Xiaoli were.

There were too many media outlets coming to interview us.

Ren Xiaoli had to categorize most of the domestic media in advance according to their influence.

Whenever the media calls in, she categorizes them and goes directly to the person at the corresponding level to be interviewed.

As for informing General Manager Lin, that was just a polite remark.

Half an hour later, she would say that President Lin is very busy, but values ​​you very much, so she specially arranged for XXX from the XX project team. Would that be alright?

If the other party says yes, she will arrange the interview; if they say no, she will make other arrangements.

This way.

The media were satisfied and did not feel that Spark Games was being arrogant.

The company's marketing department was also satisfied, as almost every project team was able to make their mark during this peak marketing season.

Players are satisfied.

As soon as the game festival ended, the creators of the games featured above were frequently interviewed, giving players who wanted to learn more the information they were looking for.

Lin Li was also satisfied.

His time was freed up to do something productive.

This is what is known as a win-win situation.

All that Ren Xiaoli had to accomplish was a ranking of China's media influence compiled by herself and a list of employee contacts.

Chapter 220 IGN and the American Hottest

The two worked until 11:50, and just before midnight, the phone finally stopped ringing.

Ren Xiaoli said with a smile.

"We should also thank most media outlets for taking a lunch break; otherwise, we would probably be receiving calls from morning till night."

"Alright, let's rest for a few minutes and then eat."

The assistant nodded.

"I didn't expect you to be so busy every day, Sister Li."

"It's not that exaggerated. The company has received a huge response at the game launch event these past two days, with phone calls coming in..."

Ren Xiaoli had barely said two sentences when another phone call came in at 11:59.

"Ugh, so annoying, couldn't they have called in the afternoon?"

Despite saying that, Ren Xiaoli still answered the phone.

Then..

She then heard a string of English...

She drew upon her university-level English knowledge and, after a long conversation, finally hung up the phone.

But this time.

Instead of looking up the list, she called Lin Li directly.

"Mr. Lin, IGN would like to conduct an exclusive interview with you..."

~~~

The news that IGN was coming to the company for an exclusive interview came out at noon, but it wasn't until the afternoon that the news broke.

Almost the entire company, and even the Japanese branch, knew about it.

Then, this news spread quickly within the industry through word of mouth on social media.

Although IGN has been criticized by many fans for its lack of impartiality over the years, it is undeniable that as a gaming media outlet, IGN is among the top in the world.

The interview invitation from IGN has once again shocked the domestic gaming industry.

Has Spark Games become this amazing?

Will I get an interview with IGN?

Looking through the news list, the last IGN interview was with Eiji Aonuma, the producer of the Legend of Zelda series!

this...

Many industry insiders, especially Yu Zhong, are racking their brains trying to figure it out, but they still can't understand it.

Why did IGN choose to interview Lin Li?

But... actually, the answer is quite simple.

Because of data usage.

Following this press conference, we will coordinate with Spark Games' promotional efforts.

The momentum of Spark Games is so great that even Lin Li, who made the decision, was shocked.

Especially in the United States, Spark Games suddenly became a huge hit.

Lin Li really didn't understand.

Because Touhou Project's influence in the United States is not significant enough to affect the mainstream gaming industry.

In addition, the most popular game among American players is *Starfield: Discovery*.

No new information was announced at this press conference.

However, many media outlets across the United States are paying close attention to "Starry Night".

Related news has emerged one after another.

This left Lin Li completely bewildered.

What the hell?

Moreover, these Americans have a peculiar focus. They don't care about the PV released by "Galaxy Paradise," but they are very interested in the world-building explanations and promotional activities that were launched alongside the "Galaxy Paradise" PV.

After the PV for "Galaxy Paradise" was released.

Following the previous discussions with Lin Li, Xinghuo America began its regular publicity campaign.
