Because of this promo material, the official account of Star Dome Game Development Company was gaining fans fast.
Besides GLOCO's livestream going viral, other streamers also noticed the game.
The anime character art style was just too on point for 2D fans.
They didn't even need to pay streamers to promote it—many big streamers signed up for the beta, eager to try it out.
Watching the rising pre-registration numbers, the staff managing the official account were ecstatic.
Even though Genshin was Ken's idea, the staff saw it as their own child.
As the first domestic anime adventure game, if it succeeded, it would mean a lot for their careers and lives.
…
Meanwhile.
Ken drove home from the company.
Although many employees were still working overtime as he left, that had little to do with the boss.
After a shower, Ken went to his study and reopened the system.
Because Klee and Barbara both came today, Ken got ten lottery draws.
"Draw."
With his command, the ancient lottery wheel slowly spun, its hazy glow dreamlike.
[Ding—]
[Congratulations, Host, you've received Sweet Flower Chicken x10!]
[Congratulations, Host, you've received Philanemo Mushroom x10!]
[Congratulations, Host, you've received Windwheel Aster x10!]
[Congratulations, Host, you've received Barbara's personal white stockings x1!]
[Congratulations, Host, you've received Medical Knowledge Skill Card x1!]
[…]
As the system's rapid-fire announcements echoed in his mind, Ken's face grew darker.
Everything else he got was just Mondstadt's common local specialties. Nothing new.
Even the so-called Medical Knowledge Card was for Blue Star, not water-element related at all.
"Looks like next time I should draw when Klee is around."
Ken gritted his teeth.
Isn't he supposed to be Klee's doting father? Why is her luck off the charts while his is so bad?
He even got Barbara's white stockings...
Still warm, with Barbara's unique scent—clearly worn by her.
Ken's face darkened further.
The system was getting more and more perverted, giving him Barbara's just-worn stockings. What was it trying to say?
Was he supposed to... get excited over them?
Ken considered himself a bit lecherous, but not deranged.
The system was nuts.
He silently complained for a while, then tossed the stockings aside and learned the Medical Knowledge Card.
Even though it wasn't an elemental skill, it was still a boost.
After all, Blue Star was his main world; it never hurts to know more skills.
A flood of medical knowledge poured into his mind, wrapping him in a sea of information.
After absorbing it, he could diagnose all kinds of illnesses at a glance.
He probably wouldn't need this skill much, but learning gives off an air of refinement, and his already-handsome face became even more charming.
[Host: Ken.]
[Contract Partner: Klee (father-daughter)]
[Ability: C6 Klee.]
[Life Skills: Top Chef, Medical Knowledge.]
Looking at the clean and simple status panel, Ken was barely satisfied.
He wasn't as overpowered as other isekai MCs, but his progress wasn't slow.
He checked his loot—anything useful for cooking went into the fridge, the rest stayed in the system space. Then he got ready to rest.
But before sleeping, he glanced at the warm, fragrant white stockings and gritted his teeth.
System, you're insane! Beast!
…
The next morning.
Ken got up on time and ordered a big breakfast via the delivery app, since Klee and Barbara would be coming again.
He washed up and, while waiting for breakfast, opened his computer to work.
As the boss, he didn't need to go to the company every day.
He'd set up voice-acting gear at home yesterday, so he wouldn't have to bring guests to the office every time.
Looking at the staff's reports, Ken was satisfied.
After last night's promo, Genshin's pre-registrations had surpassed 200,000.
Not huge yet, but this was just the beginning.
Half an hour later.
As the hot breakfast arrived, Ken got a request from Klee to come over.
"What luck... even breakfast timing lines up perfectly."
Ken smiled helplessly and agreed to let Klee bring Barbara.
But today, he planned to use the system to invite a new guest, curious who he'd get.
"Wow... it smells so good!"
"Good morning, Mr. Ken!"
"Good morning, Daddy!"
As soon as Barbara and Klee arrived, they were drawn by the delicious breakfast.
Barbara especially couldn't forget last night's cooking—she even dreamed about eating Ken's food, waking up to find her bedsheets damp.
"Let's eat breakfast first."
Ken smiled.
Sitting with Klee on his left, Barbara on his right, enjoying a delicious, relaxing breakfast—this was the life, the ultimate goal for a game developer.
Breaking the dimensional wall to summon characters—he was living countless people's dreams.
But he had to hurry and invite a new guest, even if just for free lottery chances.
"System, invite a new guest."
Ken said silently.
…
Meanwhile.
In a refined attic in Mondstadt, Teyvat.
"Mmm... a day off is wonderful..."
The lazy, intellectual witch Lisa was lounging on her bed, content.
A witch addicted to sleep, she wished she could stay in bed forever.
But even witches need food.
Lisa sat up, her fair arms pulling back the covers, showing off her figure as she lazily dressed.
But just as she was halfway dressed, she noticed a swirling portal silently appear in her room.
