It was originally thought that those who managed to grab the armor-type COS outfits would have to wait at least 1 to 2 months to receive their goods.
But just one day had passed, and a video of a COS outfit of Durandal appeared on Douyin.
The uploader was a Douyin female internet celebrity with over a million followers.
In the video, a tall girl wearing the "Bright Knight: Excelsis" armor, clumsily wielded a Abyss Flower: Liminal Spiral.
The girl's appearance was decent, her figure was good, but her temperament seemed a bit soft.
"Hehe~ I bet you're all curious why I got my goods so quickly, right?"
In the video, the girl was proud as she waved the "weapon" in her hand.
"To be honest, I was surprised too. The client said that this batch of armor was made in advance before the sale."
"Coincidentally, my height and measurements matched almost perfectly with this set, and since I'm in the same city as the clothing factory, I got it the next day~"
After saying that, she turned around to show off the appearance of the armor set.
The fabric and pseudo-metal materials were perfectly matched.
The size also fit the girl's figure extremely well.
"Seriously, when I got the goods, I was so amazed. When I saw the armor compartment face to face, I felt like I had crossed into the world of Honkai Impact!"
"Oh right, there will be an immersive unboxing segment at the end of the video~"
After finishing speaking, the girl posed for the camera a few more times.
Throughout the entire video recording, the smile on the girl's face never disappeared.
It was evident that she really loved this set of armor.
"It's really amazing to wear it. It doesn't affect movement too much, and it looks like the matte-treated metal material, but it's actually not heavy at all."
"Girls like me can wear it all day without feeling tired..."
"I won't say anymore. I have to go out for a stroll again."
"Socially dead? How is that possible? Can you imagine being surrounded by a group of boys and girls, envied and asked for photos?"
"It attracts more attention than if I were to drive a luxury car out."
"Oh, by the way, maybe I'll have a livestream tonight. If you want to watch, you can follow~"
At this point in the video, the girl's figure disappeared.
But immediately after, the music in the video abruptly changed.
Still at the girl's house, a tall delivery package stood quietly in the living room. As the music played, the girl gradually unpacked the wooden frame, opened the cardboard box, and removed the foam...
When the armor compartment appeared, countless people who saw this video were excited.
The ambient light was neither glaring nor ostentatious, perfectly showcasing the domineering aura of the armor inside the compartment.
Holding her phone, the girl spun around the armor compartment several times.
The video ended here.
And the number of likes had already reached over 8 million.
The number of comments was equally high, reaching 1 million.
["Oh my god, this armor is even more realistic than I imagined."]
["Although the girl is pretty, she's still far from as good as my wife Rita."]
["The guy upstairs has high demands. If you want to see our wife Rita, go tag Mihoyo."]
["Could this be Mihoyo's marketing strategy?"]
["The guy upstairs is clueless, huh? If Mihoyo wants to promote, they would find celebrities. I wonder how many people want to collaborate with Mihoyo now."]
["Honestly, I'm really impressed. I was still considering whether to buy it, but now I'm really tempted."]
["Consider your wallet first~"]
["Oh my god, even if I don't wear it, just having it at home would be so satisfying... (Eyes glinting)"]
Of course, in addition to these comments from ordinary netizens, there were also many comments from internet celebrities.
Even some stars who had settled in Douyin expressed their envy.
And because of this video, the owner of the video gained millions of fans.
Spending tens of thousands of dollars, gaining millions of fans...
Even if you don't like this set of armor, it's still a profitable deal that's risk-free.
Such results made countless internet celebrities jealous and tempted.

At the same time, there were also many posts on the internet offering to buy armor-type clothing at high prices.
But there were hardly any willing sellers.
And besides these armor-type COS outfits,
Many videos of fabric-type COS outfits soon appeared on the internet.
Elysia, Eden, Kiana...
Numerous COS videos emerged one after another.
Whether they were good-looking or not, they all gained a certain number of fans.
During this period of time, the entire short video platform was engulfed in a frenzy.
Girls had the opportunity to showcase themselves.
And boys had the chance to feast their eyes.
After fermenting for several days, the videos of Honkai Impact 3 characters gradually decreased.
Nevertheless, the enthusiasm remained high.
Until today, the players' attention was drawn to another piece of news.
The preview livestream of Version 1.2 of "Genshin Impact" was scheduled for 8 o'clock tonight.
At this moment, inside Mihoyo's studio.
Several girls were gathered together watching Douyin.
After watching for a while, Hu Tao stood with her hands on her hips, looking proud, "Hi~ Is there anything interesting? It's better to watch Elder Sister Durandal directly~"
"Hehe~ Just thinking about it, living in the studio is really lucky~ Not only can you see Goose Durandal every day, but you can also hug her~"
"Cough... , my name is Durandal... not little Goose... "
"I think Durandal is cute~ Hu Tao thinks so too, right~"
Hu Tao nodded vigorously.
Mo Li, on the other hand, watched quietly from the side.
The topics the girls discussed were always interesting.
And at this moment, Rita gracefully walked over.
At this moment, she was wearing the S-rank armor from the game — Argent Knight: Artemis.
Sexy yet exuding a hint of heroism.
After observing for a while, Mo Li sighed secretly, "Indeed, Sister Rita looks good no matter what she wears..."
Rita smiled, "Everyone, Boss Mo Li, it's almost time for the livestream~"
"Is everything set up?"
Rita nodded, "Yes, everything's ready. Boss, hurry up and change your clothes~"
After hearing this, the girls put away their phones one after another and headed to the dedicated livestream room.
And Mo Li didn't delay either, she went to change into Otto's costume.
This livestream was advertised as a preview of "Genshin Impact," but in reality, the content was not as exciting as what "Honkai Impact 3" had to offer.
In the new version, "Genshin Impact" only opened Hu Tao and the Childe's banners.
While the new version of "Honkai Impact 3" had much more content.
In the extra storylines, the plot of Durandal was updated.
That was the plot of the visual novel "Durandal: Inheritance."
Next is the main storyline Chapter 25.
At the same time, there's also the concept V for the land of the deceased, as well as the teaser animation for the new main storyline, "Prelude."
Otto, who has been missing for a long time, will appear in a new image.
This is also the reason why Mo Li went to change clothes.
At this moment, the livestream room hasn't opened yet, but there are already a large number of viewers gathered both domestically and internationally.
The girls are all ready.
Before long, Mo Li, who had changed her clothes, slowly pushed open the door.
Seeing Mo Li dressed like this, the girls' eyes lit up.
Otto's previous long golden hair had been changed to short hair.
The black and white attire was very decent.
"Everyone, are you all ready?"
Rita immediately got into character, "Your Excellency, everything is ready~"
"Very good~"
Mo Li smiled and nodded, "No time to waste, let's start this preview livestream."
Under the anticipation of countless players, the livestream room finally had visuals.
The same background as last time, but the people who appeared were different: Otto and Hu Tao.
And...
["Oh my god!! Sister Rita!!"]
["Rita is also here! Ahhh Sister Rita looks so beautiful~~"]
["Indeed, the real-life Sister Rita looks much better than those COS versions~"]
["Hall Master, are you entering the banner this time?"]
["Hall Master, I want to do business~"]
["The person above... no need..."]
["Otto, look at my sword!"]
["Otto actually changed his appearance! But he's still so handsome cough... Otto, look at my sword!"]
Although the audience was excited, tradition cannot be changed.
Otto, look at my sword must be shouted.
Mo Li stood in the standard Otto posture, stroking her chin, smiling as she looked at the barrage, "Welcome to Otto's lecture hall... Hmm... no, it's the preview livestream of 'Genshin Impact' 1.2. We will continue with the previous program, first showing you the demonstration of the new characters in 'Genshin Impact,' and then your favorite..."
"Primogem redemption codes~"
"Of course, we can't forget about the news from 'Honkai Impact 3.'"
Rita chuckled and took over, "Your Excellency, it seems... players are most looking forward to when you will activate your health bar~"
"No rush, I will soon... activate my health bar..."
Before Mo Li could finish her sentence, Hu Tao couldn't wait any longer.
"Boss boss, introduce the Hall Master first~"
As she spoke, she proudly put her hands on her hips, her face beaming with a bright smile: Mo Li smiled and nodded, "Alright~"
"Now, let everyone meet... what it means to be..."
"The First Pyro C of Liyue"
The girls cooperated and immediately switched the screen to a character demonstration video.
"Genshin Impact" Character Demonstration - "Hu Tao: Do Not Approach in Life"
The scene opened with a gloomy Wansheng Peak, accompanied by some mischievous music, and a member of a treasure-stealing group slowly appeared on the screen, shrinking his neck.
He looked a little scared, his voice trembling, "Big brother... could we be mistaken? In such a scary place... can there really be treasures?"
"Hey~ This is a treasure map from Sister Baoer, just follow along~" The one speaking was a more stable member of the treasure-stealing group.
And just then, the scene switched to a distant view.
With a clang of a gong, a figure quickly ran past the camera, startling the timid member of the treasure-stealing group with his footsteps.
"Wait... big brother..."
"Did you hear... something..."
Another member of the treasure-stealing group sighed helplessly, "You're already this old, stop being so paranoid..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, a pair of long white legs swiftly passed by the camera.
Then, a white figure, resembling a ghost but very cute, slowly appeared behind the two members of the treasure-stealing group.
The ghost had a very cute smile on its face, as if greeting the members of the treasure-stealing group.
The members of the treasure-stealing group who noticed the movement were slightly stunned, and when they turned their heads...
"Ah..."
Both the human and the ghost had expressions of extreme horror.
The mischievous and cute music then began to play.
As the white ghost flew by, Hu Tao's original drawing also appeared in front of everyone.
[Hu Tao]
[Whispering Ghost]
[77th Generation Hall Master of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor]
The lively girl, the gloomy Wansheng Peak, and the mischievous music, coupled with Hu Tao's appearance, were simply adorable.
"Big brother..."
"Attack!"
After realizing it wasn't a monster, the two members of the treasure-stealing group became angry.
In the scene, Hu Tao's lively eyes blinked slightly, she licked her fragrant tongue, and let out a string of playful laughter...
This scene directly melted countless hearts.
["Oh my god!! The Hall Master is indeed cute!!"]
["The First Pyro of Liyue? Just this? I'm going to pull like crazy, okay?"]
["Stop talking, even if the Hall Master gives monsters more health, I'll still pull!"]
Ah ah ah... Hall Master step on me!!
Barrage after barrage flew by, and in the video, Hu Tao held the guiding pole with both hands and performed a set of slanting spear techniques.
[Send away]
[Pain]
The two members of the treasure-stealing group were easily dealt with.
The scene shifted, Hu Tao clasped her hands together, and a pile of wood burned behind her.
"Order in Yin and Yang, uncertainty of fate, with this butterfly fire~ I will show you the way!"
Next, several members of the foolish mob's vanguard appeared behind Hu Tao.
"Hey~ there are so many boring people..."
"To the foolish mob, I'm not interested in teasing you anymore, so I'll just send you off."
Hu Tao performed a beautiful spear dance, activated her elemental skill, and a butterfly pattern appeared on her body.
After a series of normal attacks, Seventy-Seven suddenly emerged from behind a tree.
"Zombies, are you scared?"
Then came the ultimate move.
"Eat and drink your fill, farewell~"
The scene cut, Hu Tao's ring spawned a white ghost, Hu Tao grabbed the ghost's tail, swung it like a big hammer, and froze the frame.
The ghost displayed a terrified expression, with question marks all over its face.
It looked extremely funny.
With the final rhythm of the music, the scene also showed Hu Tao's posture after a heavy blow, as well as her cute appearance when pinching the "Way of Life Seal" of the Daoist.
The audience couldn't take it anymore.
The funny and cute music slowly ended.
Hu Tao sat on a rock, waving goodbye to the fleeing foolish mob.
"Farewell~"
Finally, the "Genshin Impact" logo appeared slowly.
Just as everyone thought the video was over, Hu Tao suddenly popped her head out from under the logo.
Making a scary gesture with both hands, she made a "terrifying" sound as if scaring the audience.
But... this mischievous look, instead of scaring people, it felt like she was being cute to the audience...
["I can't take it anymore... so cute ahhh..."]
["Hall Master!! Are you serious about scaring people?"]
["Is this being cute QAQ so cute this girl..."]
["As expected of you, Mihoyo... my wallet won't survive again..."]
["I just bought a COS outfit, but... I really like the Hall Master sob sob sob..."]
["I heard she's also the First Pyro of Liyue... how can I not pull?"]
A character demonstration that made countless viewers willingly empty their wallets...
PS: Neru's small safety net is crooked QAQ...
(TN: Don't look at me... I mean Amber was the first Pyro but let the author cook lol)
