Enter the game.
When the blonde Traveler stood on the edge of the cliff and the world before their eyes instantly unfolded.
The comments in the entire live stream stalled for that one second.
The towering snow-capped mountains in the distance, the grass swaying in the wind nearby, and the white clouds slowly drifting across the sky.
And the fruits by the roadside that looked like they could be picked, that sense of freedom where it felt like you could breathe the fresh air.
“My…
my god…” The streamer pressed his face against the screen, his eyes almost popping out.
“This lighting…
this modeling…
is this really a game?
Isn’t this a movie?” He tried operating the character to run for a bit.
Smooth.
Silky.
Without any lag.
And the movement of the clothes when the character ran, the rustling sound of feet stepping on the grass, and even the trajectory of that emergency food, Paimon, flying in the air.
Every detail was frantically challenging the worldview of the native players of this world.
“Combat!
Try combat!” When the protagonist drew their sword, unleashed the first Anemo attack, detonated the nearby Pyro Slime, and that never-before-seen “Swirl Reaction” special effect occurred.
The live stream exploded.
Completely exploded.
“This is too cool!” “This impact!
This special effect!
This is the sense of combat that an S-Class Hero should have!” “Stop talking, streamer!
Post the link!
I want to play!
I want to play too!” “This is the masterpiece of the year!
No!
It’s a masterpiece that is rare to see in a decade!” One told ten, and ten told a hundred.
The popularity of this small live stream skyrocketed instantly, rushing straight to the platform’s homepage.
…
At the same time.
Inside a high-rise luxury mansion decorated with extreme extravagance and filled with artistic atmosphere.
The A-Class Rank 1 Hero, and also the currently most popular idol star, Sweet Mask.
At this moment, he was wearing an expensive silk bathrobe, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, and scrolling through his tablet with a look of weariness.
“Boring…
everything is boring stuff.” “Ugly Monsters, ugly news.” “Why can’t this world have a little more beautiful things?” His obsessive-compulsive disorder in pursuing ultimate perfection made him full of disdain for the poorly made entertainment products currently on the market.
Just as he was about to close the webpage and go to sleep.
That game live stream video which suddenly shot up to the trending list caught his attention.
“Hmm?” Sweet Mask’s finger paused.
Although it was only the video cover, that composition, that color matching, that precision of character design.
Actually made his picky heart skip a beat inexplicably.
“A bit interesting…” He clicked on the video.
A few minutes later.
This arrogant idol, who looked down on everyone and couldn’t even be bothered by most S-Class Heroes.
Actually sat up straight, and those eyes that always carried a critical gaze were now filled with appreciation and…
astonishment.
“This is not just a game.” “This is…
art.” “That combat posture, that brilliance woven by the elements, this is what I imagined…
the perfect battle.” Sweet Mask put down his wine glass.
Without even hesitating, he directly used his verified account with tens of millions of followers under this post.
He posted a status update.
There were no extra words.
Only a game screenshot, accompanied by a short but weighty comment: “In a world full of ugliness, I saw the light.” “Even in a virtual world, this kind of beauty is worth being seen by everyone.” Boom—!!!
Following the posting of this status.
“Genshin Impact,” which was already boiling in small circles, had its fuse completely ignited.
This was no longer just a matter for the gaming circle.
This was a carnival for the entire internet!
Countless Sweet Mask fans flooded into that small game publishing platform like crazy.
Those who were originally mocking Sage’s description for being too short were now frantically refreshing the download page.
“Download” “Download” “Download” “Download” Sage’s backend data began to grow at an incomprehensible geometric multiple.
Skyrocketing like crazy!
And in that quiet villa workspace.
Sage just turned over, smacked his lips, and was still dreaming a sweet dream of counting money.
Completely unaware.
That his unintentional act had actually led to a great success!
