Chapter 52: Chapter 51: New Ga Decided
Translated by Coldtaco
Edited by Aelryinth
As Qiu Bin slowly cald down, he was surprised at what he had posted on his Weibo.
“I was being too impulsive. What’s wrong with today? Why couldn’t I just keep it in?”
Qiu Bin’s regret was settling in, but what was done had been done. Promises were made, Weibos were posted. There were tens of thousands of fans as witnesses, so it was too late to take it back.
The news would probably be written into articles and posted by various video ga dia companies. When the ti ca, the whole video ga industry might have their eyes on this incident, and it might gain even more traction after that.
“Geez, that wasn’t smart!” Qiu Bin had never been the hot-headed type. If he was still full of zeal at thirty-sothing, why would he make a ga like Guardian of the Holy Spring?
He knew better than anyone else that his ga took inspiration from Plants vs Zombies in many ways. If he had been thinking clearly from the start to end, he wouldn’t have responded to Chen Mo.
The main problem was that if this incident did gain traction, even though Chen Mo did have a stake in this matter, he was benefiting from this no matter what!
It was a similar situation between Chen Mo and Shi Huazhe, bringing a lot of attention to Plants vs Zombies. The fight this ti was much fiercer than the last, it was practically promoting Chen Mo’s next ga!
Qiu Bin had always been timid and cautious, so this matter caused him so distress.
-Why was Chen Mo so confident? Was he that certain?-
Out of nowhere, Qiu Bin’s mobile phone rang. It was from Lin Chaoxu, the Chairman of Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt!
Qiu Bin was shocked; how did this matter reach his boss so quickly?!
Qiu Bin carefully picked up his phone. “Hello. Mr. Lin. About the bet between and Chen Mo, I...”
Qiu Bin wanted to explain himself, but Lin Chaoxu interrupted him in the middle of his sentence. “You did well on that,” said Lin Chaoxu.
Qiu Bin was shocked, “Sorry?”
Lin Chaoxu laughed, “This Chen Mo guy planned this quite extensively. I don’t think it was because he was trying to prove sothing, but he was trying to borrow so of Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt’s fa to promote his own ga. However, won’t an argunt like this promote Guardian of the Holy Spring, too?
“Make your ga as good as possible before April, add so more features if you can! Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt will promote your ga when the ti cos!
“Your response to Chen Mo was very firm, not dropping any of the company’s face. I was actually quite worried that you wouldn’t respond, because you are usually quite ek. Rember, only we, Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt, bully others. Nobody ever bullies us! If anyone isn’t happy, we will destroy them!”
His speech had gotten Qiu Bin’s heart racing, and he replied, “Understood, Mr Lin!”
Lin Chaoxu replied, “Mm, give it your all. Don’t worry about the aftermath. You’re a part of Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt, and we never lose. Understood?”
Qiu Bin, his emotions filled to the brim, replied, “Yes, Mr Lin!”
Upon hanging up, Qiu Bin’s worries turned into happiness. Not only did Lin Chaoxu not hound him for making bets without permission, but actually praised him. What did this say about the situation?
Lin Chaoxu’s attitude was clear. First, so what if the ga was copied, that didn’t matter! Using the sheer power that Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt possessed, they could do anything they wanted. Everyone else had to bend over, even if they weren’t happy. As a videoga designer at Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt, you could never back down from situations like this!
Second, Chen Mo wanted to use this opportunity for publicity, but Guardian of the Holy Spring could also seize this opportunity to raise the ga. Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt could support him and lift the ga to the skies, allowing them to benefit from it as well!
As for the bet, it can only be said that Chen Mo had lost his marbles. Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt was the biggest channel in China. If they wanted to promote Guardian of the Holy Spring, what could Chen Mo do to counter that?
Chen Mo had no chance of winning this bet!
After so thinking, Qiu Bin turned his worries into a reason to celebrate. He was happy that sothing ca over him and made him take the bet.
Qiu Bin made up his mind, “Alright, I’m not going anywhere for the next four months, and I will spend all that ti on Guardian of the Holy Spring. There’s no way that Chen Mo can beat with all that support from Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt behind !”

On the other side of the bet, Chen Mo had received multiple phone calls.
Lin Mao, Zhao zihao, Su Jinyu all called asking why Chen Mo had lost his cool. The bet was so one-sided that he basically wrote his own death sentence!
Chen Mo however, was very calm.
The experience store opened as usual, and Su Jinyu was already waiting at the doors.
“Boss, you’ve been too rash! I didn’t know that you were soone so hot-headed!” Su Jinyu exclaid in worry.
Chen Mo opened his arms. “Geez, didn’t we go through this on the phone? I wasn’t being rash, I was prepared for that!”
Su Jinyu said, “What have you prepared to go head to head with Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt?”
Chen Mo replied without a total lack of concern, “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”
“@#￥%&*%^*&(*%^!!!” was Su Jiny’s response.
Chen Mo tossed her a can of coffee, “Alright. It’s no big deal. We start developing the ga today. If there isn’t anything important, don’t take leaves for the next four developntal months.”
Su Jinyu was happily surprised, “Really? Do you have the draft for your next ga done?”
Chen Mo shook his head, “No, I haven’t written down a single word.”
Su Jinyu facepald. “Boss, can you act more reasonably?”
Chen Mo replied, “Alright, don’t panic. I’ll give you your tasks tomorrow.”
“Alright,” Su Jinyu sat down at the bar table reluctantly, “Make it quick, boss! We only have four months!”
“I know, I know.” Chen Mo said, waving his hand as he retreated back to the second floor.
“Who knows if he can actually manage,” Su Jinyu muttered under her breath, “It’s crazy soone as undependable as him was the designer of Plants vs Zombies...”

Back in his office, Chen Mo wasn’t rushing to start his design docunt, but instead chose to launch a drawing app.
As Chen Mo’s art skills were decent now, after half an hour of sketching and adjusting, a classic character from his previous life appeared on his computer screen.
It was a silly-looking minotaur.
It looked quite cute with it’s massive head and tiny limbs. It had two massive eyes, and thick eyebrows. It was quite serious in expression, yet dumb and cute. It had tiny ears and horns, and a massive nose ring on its trapezoidal face.
This was a cute drawing of a minotaur, yet it didn’t feel childish.
Chen Mo looked at the drawing, thinking it was missing sothing. After so thinking, he added three dots underneath its eyes.
“Yep, that’s about right,” Chen Mo nodded.
This silly cow was a classic character from his previous life called MT!
That’s right, Chen Mo’s next ga was a card ga that had been popular nationwide, called I Am MT.
In his previous world, I Am MT would’ve been outdated and most people would’ve already been sick of it. However, in the parallel world, the gars didn’t yet know the genre called “Chinese card gas”.
Chen Mo was sure of the plan Qiu Bin and Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt had.
The play style and inspiration for Guardian of the Holy Spring was based on Plants vs Zombies, therefore Chen Mo had a certain expectation of the profitability of the ga.
Even if Guardian of the Holy Spring was more content rich than Plants vs Zombies and had better promotion, the bet was still based on profit, and that type of ga wouldn’t be suitable for top-ups.
If Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt did decide to change the profit thod, Chen Mo would only win by a larger margin.
It was only based on this pointer that Chen Mo could bet as confidently as he did.
In regards to profit-making, standalone gas like that were so distance away from Chinese mobile gas. This wasn’t a problem of the quality; it all had to do with how they profited.
That’s right, even if Plants vs Zombies was higher quality, with even better detail, it could never dream of surpassing I Am MT in terms of profit!
Quite often, the video ga industry was just that unreasonable!
