Translated by Coldtaco

“Where did this drama queen co from? Don’t talk smack if you haven’t played it. It’s so obvious that it’s two different gas. Who’s your copying Plants vs Zombies*?*
“You should see an optotrist, even your perspective on the world is not normal. How is this plagiarism?”
“Hah, it’s plagiarism when the playstyle has a tiny bit in common? Then wouldn’t Plants vs Zombies be copying Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt’s Fantasy Tower Defense*? They are both tower defense gas, after all.”*
“What’s good about a rabid dog biting others? Did your owner make you a promise?”
“What level is Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt on? What level are the developers of your Plants vs Zombies*? Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt copying you? You’re just trying to leech of Emperor Dynasty’s popularity!”*
“Hehe, sure Plants vs Zombies is a good ga, but you can’t be so illogical about this. Can nobody else make a ga of a similar genre?”
==============
Soon, the argunts between the two of them got more and more intense. People were gathering others from their community to fight for their side, and it beca a war between two sides.
The argunts got more and more intense as the two of them argued throughout the night. When dawn ca along, Chen Mo was dragged into it.
Both sides were really into it. Many fans of Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt who had lost their sense of logic were also insulting Chen Mo. His Weibo had plenty of comnts now!
========
“A few hundred people looking for trouble in a few hours. I refuse to believe there wasn’t soone behind them. So who’s that scheming dog?”
“Brother, just focus on designing gas, stop trying to make everything you do viral.”
“Stop trying to create all this drama about you. You’ve only made one ga, so you better pay your seniors more respect, understood?”
“Brother, you should probably say sothing soon. You still have ti to distance yourself from the others. If you keep your mouth shut, you don’t have anyone to bla for being in the crossfire.”
======
Chen Mo scowled. -What does this an? Why can you call my players idiots?-
Before this, Chen Mo was quite open to this type of copying, as he had seen this many tis in his previous life. Furthermore, Chen Mo wasn’t a special snowflake, and was already ntally prepared.
-Being targeted? That was nothing. But there are guys taking advantage of the situation and insulting my players! How can I continue holding back?
-Just because I’ve been nice, doesn’t an I’m not going to do anything!-
Chen Mo sent out a Weibo: I didn’t want to pay attention to this, and you guys thought you could just walk all over ? The video ga designers haven’t said anything, so what are you guys arguing about? @Qiu Bin, say sothing!
The discussions underneath the post exploded as soon as it was sent.
The players of Plants vs Zombies were all quite tired after fighting throughout the night, so most of them didn’t have a good night’s sleep. This Weibo was undoubtedly a stimulant for his fans.
If the players had been fighting hard for Plants vs Zombies, but the designer just wanted to settle things the peaceful way, how disappointing would that be? Luckily Chen Mo wasn’t a sissy. So what if it’s Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt?
The fans of Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt were also shocked; hot-headed people like him still existed?
They even forgot to retaliate imdiately!

The Weibo was all over the place as soon as it was posted. Many video ga industry professionals were starting to notice.
Within an hour, Chen Mo received DMs from other video ga designers, one of whom was from Qiu Hengyang: Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt is the biggest channel and the biggest developer. There’s no point trying to go head to head against them. Delete the Weibo and give it a rest, no need to be so stubborn.
It was very clear what Qiu Hengyang ant.
Why would he explicitly ntion that Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt was the biggest channel? In the video ga industry, channels like these held the most power! Even if your ga was terrible, as long as the channels are willing to promote your ga, you would probably still make money. Even if your ga was good and the channels had you boycotted, you would only be able to have your ga on the official app store, and might only get a tenth of the sales possible.
Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt was the biggest gaming platform in China; what kind of video ga designer would want to offend them?
Therefore, Qiu Hengyang’s reminder only ant well.
Chen Mo replied: Can I ask you sothing? You’re not brothers with that Qiu Bin guy, right?
Qiu Hengyang answered: Nonsense! We just happen to have the sa last na!
Chen Mo replied: That’s great, now just watch how I’ll get at him.
Qiu Hengyang responded: ... Maybe you have your own plans, but I still have to say, keep calm!
The other DMs were similar in spirit, advising Chen Mo to not be so stubborn and go head to head with Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt.
Of course, there were plenty others in Chen Mo’s DMs attacking him, but Chen Mo had filtered all of it out of his vision.

Another half an hour passed, Qiu Bin’s Weibo was still the sa.
Maybe he was still asleep? That was impossible; even if he wasn’t awake, soone must’ve called him.
It was clear that by not saying anything, Qiu Bin didn’t want to respond.
In reality, everyone in the industry could tell that Guardian of the Holy Spring took inspiration from Plants vs Zombies. But this kind of referencing wasn’t even close to plagiarizing. He would probably get so flak, which would be quite normal.
However, if Qiu Bin ca out and said that he wasn’t copying, he would just beco a laughingstock.
Therefore, the best move was to not say anything and keep quiet until all this was over so he could sell his ga and make money.
It was fine as long as it didn’t affect the sales. So what if the players were attacking him? Qiu Bin and Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt weren’t losing anything!
“Tsk, you’re quite good at playing dead.”
If it was so newbie on the receiving end, they probably would’ve cracked. But evidently Qiu Bin had experience under his belt and was quite composed.
“Don’t be like that, if you don’t say anything, how can I lead you into my trap?”
Chen Mo was going to seize this opportunity, baiting Qiu Bin into having an argunt, and leading Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt into his trap as well, paving the way for the next gas. However, Qiu Bin didn’t take the bait, and kept it all under control.
It would be easier to ss with soone with a simple mind, like Shi Huazhe, but Qiu Bin and Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt wouldn’t be manipulated that easily. Furthermore, they were on completely different levels than Chen Mo. Even if they wanted to start sothing, it wouldn’t look good.
“I have to try and make him say sothing.”
Chen Mo wasn’t saying it because he could; he was taking the opportunity to get what he wanted through a “friendly bet with good intentions”.
If Qiu Bin didn’t want to say anything, there was nothing Chen Mo could do.
Chen Mo took out the Anger Interferer from his bracelet and used it on Qiu Bin.
“Co on, play along with and say sothing.”
Anger Interferer consud.
Chen Mo still hadn’t receivef a reply from Qiu Bin after one minute.
“Did it fail? Impossible. Maybe I just lack firepower.”
Chen Mo sent another Weibo: @Qiu Bin. Brother, you’re from Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt, you can’t just admit defeat.
