Everyone was shocked when Chen Mo sent that Weibo.
What was he trying to do? Was he seriously going for the chase? This Chen Mo fellow wasnt leaving himself any room to retreat!
Its rare to see soone like him who was always looking for a fight. Moreover, his opponent was Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt!
The supporters of Qiu Bin started quitting the battle.
-We are here arguing with the players of Plants vs Zombies*, and Qiu Bin isnt going to say anything?-*
-Look at Chen Mo, hes tried to draw blood twice!-
This was like a war in the olden tis with two sides. On one side, the general was talking smack, saying anything that he wanted. But the general of the other side didnt even dare respond?
That would surely reduce morale!
The disappointed fans stopped arguing and went to Chen Mos DMs.
Hey, could you say sothing, Mr Qiu Bin!
Mr Qiu Bin, he said he was copying you. Attacking him!
Mr. Qiu Bin, you cant just stay silent at tis like this. This really hurts us, your long ti supporters.
Could it be that Guardian of the Holy Spring did copy Plants vs Zombies?
Qiu Bin finally cracked.
He planned to turn off Weibo, out of sight, out of mind, after all. But an unexplained anger ca from inside him, and he couldnt resist the urge to go back on Weibo.
As soon as he turned it on, all the ssages that he missed ca at him at once. Chen Mos Weibo in particular made him extrely angry.
-What are you trying to say? You think youre a big deal now? You may be in the right, but you should know your place! Youre quite brave to be challenging soone from Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt!
-Alright, Im going all out today!-
Qiu Bins hands were trembling from anger, and he sent a Weibo in reply: I dont have ti to fight with so nobody videoga designer like you, as Im quite busy. Though your efforts at finding trouble are quite admirable, if I didnt know who you were I wouldve thought you were so hotshot in the industry. I heard your ga did pretty well, five hundred thousand sales in the first month, right? And youre quite cocky because of it, right? If I got five hundred thousand sales in the first month I would be too ashad to talk to the others in Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt.
His fans were happy when this extensive yet classy Weibo was sent.
He was right! Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt was the biggest channel with copious amounts of users. Five hundred thousand sales in the first month wasnt much for Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt.
Nice one Mr Qiu Bin!
A heavy hit! Keep going at him!
His supporters were leaving comnts under his Weibo in support.
Chen Mo laughed, as what Qiu Bin said was quite classy.
Qiu Bin avoided the topic of copying and went straight to his identity to threaten Chen Mo. Although what he said about sales was a bit stretched, Chen Mo couldnt say anything in retaliation.
However, Chen Mo didnt mind, as his plan wasnt to argue with him. He just wanted him to reply!
From Chen Mos perspective, Qiu Bin wasnt his rival, but just a stepping stone in his plans!
However he still had to play out the rival part, so Qiu Bin would take the bait.
Chen Mo replied: I dont think theres a point to arguing. How about this? Since youre quite confident, lets make a bet!
The spectators were shocked. What, again?
Many of the people involved rembered the bet between Chen Mo and Shi Huazhe. He said confidently that Chen Mos first ga would never reach a hundred thousand. The result of that was that he hadnt been on Weibo for more than a month.
Qiu Bin was also shocked, but he couldnt back off now, and replied: What are we betting on?
Chen Mo responded: Arent you confident in your ga? How about this, Ill make a ga too, and well release it at the sa ti. Are you on?
Qiu Bin was confused. What did he an?
Number of sales in the first month? : Qiu Bin asked.
Chen Mo replied: No, profit from the first month.
Qiu Bin was surprised by Chen Mos answer and thought he misread it.
-First months profit? Isnt that a death sentence?- In reality, it didnt matter if it was sales or profit, Qiu Bin wasnt afraid. He had Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt behind him!**
As long as Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt was willing to promote Guardian of the Holy Spring, sales and profit would always be a respectable number.
As for Chen Mo? It was fine if he wanted to bet using Plants vs Zombies, but competing using a new ga?
Did he actually think that he was a video ga-making genius, where everything he made went viral?
Qiu Bin snickered.-It seems like the success of Plants vs Zombies has warped Chen Mos perspective.-
It was very easy to fail in the industry. However, after borrowing inspiration from Plants vs Zombies, adding his own twist to it, plus strong amounts of advertising Even if the ga wasnt going viral, the results would still be decent!
-What can Chen Mos new ga do? Unless he also has his own new ideas, but how can he guarantee his success every ti?-
Qiu Bin felt that there was no way he could lose.
Qiu Bin replied: First months profit? Sure, if youre down to lose, Im down to play. What are the stakes?
Chen Mo said: If you lose, youll promote my ga on the Promoted This Month section on Emperor Dynasty Entertainnts front page for a month, for free.
Qiu Bin scowled.
Promoted This Month was the best space for promotion on the Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt channel, they never gave the space to gas from other channels. It was a spot reserved for a few A and S-grade video ga designers within Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt.
Moreover, a whole month?
Qiu Bin answered: I dont have that kind of power.
Chen Mo replied: I know you dont have that power, but youre still a B-grade video ga designer. You must know soone who does inside Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt, right? Try to make it happen, I believe in you.
If Qiu Bin begged Lin Chaoxu, the Chairman of Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt himself, he might be able to get that spot. But he wouldnt have any dignity left.
If he lost a bet against a C-grade video ga designer and a promotional space belonging to Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt? How could he bring himself to ask for that space from his higher-ups?
Qiu Bin was about to explode from all the pent-up anger. Chen Mo was too confident, did he not treat Qiu Bin as a threat at all?
Qiu Bin didnt believe he could lose!
He didnt believe in otherworldly forces, either. -How could Chen Mo attack like that? How could he be so confident?-
Qiu Bin replied: Alright, if I lose, Ill get you that promoted space! What if you lose? Can you give a promoted space?
Chen Mo gave it so thought. If the bet wasnt big enough, Qiu Bin wouldnt accept it, but he didnt have anything that would be comparable to the promoted space of Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt.
Chen Mo quickly replied: If I lose, Ill spend ti outside the Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt building crossdressed!
This shocked all the spectators.
Wow, these guys sure know how to make it entertaining!
In the end, youre still a videoga designer, cant you have so integrity?
Qiu Bin decided to accept: Alright! Ill be waiting for you in four months ti!
Chen Mo replied swiftly: No problem, get the promotional spot ready!
After Chen Mo sent that Weibo, he checked his watch: his fifteen minutes had just ran out.
- losing? Dont be silly!-
Why did Chen Mo want to anger him and start a bet? To prove himself? No!
Chen Mo didnt mind others copying him, much less tearing each other up because of it. He didnt see anything aningful in that.
What he was really after was the promotional space, and the publicity it would bring his ga from the attention it got.
