Chapter 74: Chapter 73: Admitting Defeat
After I Am MT solidified its position on the app store’s fifth best seller, nobody could deny that this “free to play” ga was very profitable.
It was even more profitable than most highly priced gas that sell many copies!
Hard surprised, half baffled.
Many designers couldn’t comprehend how this low quality ga that’s only one hundred sothing gabytes, average rating could do so well. Even when taking into account the hyping from the animated series, there was no way that would be enough to go toe to toe with a massive distribution platform of Emperor Dynasty gaming platform!
However, I Am MT managed to destroy Guardian of the Holy Spring by nearly two tis.
Video ga designers that swept I Am MT under the rug have now begun looking into how the ga ca to beco successful.
The video ga dia are once again working overti thanks to Chen Mo.
At the end of the month, and the date where the bet is due.
Guardian of the Holy Spring sold eight hundred and ninety thousand copies, 8.9 million in profit. On the other side of the ring, Chen Mo had also released his earnings of twenty three million!
It was beaten by almost three tis!
Soon thereafter, the articles of various gaming dia were slowly being released.
The bet cos to a conclusion: Chen Mo trumps Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt!
I Am MT brings in more than 23 million in the first month, solidifies its position as fifth best selling!

There were many different articles representing different views. The spread in views were basically identical as the reviews, a close to even split between positive and negative. So were surprised at the downloads and revenue I Am MT brought in, and others posed questions regarding how the ga brings in revenue.
This result wasn’t anything special in Chen Mo’s previous world. The original I Am MT raked in fifty five million each month, not to ntion two hundred million Soul Hunters managed, as well as the three billion Honors of Kings managed.
However, this wasn’t the case in the parallel world. Mobile gas primarily profited from sales, and if one wanted to make more than twenty million in monthly revenue, they would need to sell two million copies. Even if the ga was twenty RMB a pop, they would still need to sell one million copies.
Easier said than done to sell that many copies!
Therefore, after I Am MT solidified its position as the fifth best selling, many video ga dia were shocked at this thod of profiting, being able to get into the top five best selling gas within a month, not to ntion with a terrible score of around seven. This was good enough to go down into history!
Being able to earn all that money while being under fire by the fans was a unique phenona in it of itself!
While the popularity of I Am MT continues to grow, Chen Mo was now a familiar na to more and more people.
Plants vs Zombies was also very popular, and was very high quality with very good reviews, but unfortunately it wasn’t “classic”. It was still a ga that managed a huge amount of sales with a unique and creative idea, but to the people of this world, it was a ways away from how shocking I Am MT was.
Free ga.
Unfair, pay to win.
Raking in money while under fire from the fans.
These three characteristics of I Am MT were enough to differentiate itself, drawing the attention of many players and industry professionals to look deeper into its success.

Many have been expecting them to go at each other’s throats, but it was the complete opposite.
After I Am MT’s monthly inco was released, Qiu Bin released a simple Weibo post: “I admit defeat”.
Chen Mo also released a Weibo.
“Thanks for all the love you guys have given. Please calm down with sending razors, I understand that your wishes are to shave more often to maintain my handso looks, but I’m running out of space in my experience store.
The players were furious upon seeing soone so shaless! Is that for shaving your beard?
“I’ve never seen such a shaless video ga designer!”
“Where’s the experience store! I’m bringing a knife there!”
“Please like everyti I get a purple card.”
“Please update! When is season three coming out!!”
“Why not use this ti you’re spending on Weibo to update the World of Azeroth!”
“Garbage ga wasting my ti and money. Refunds please!”
“Add if you play MT, my ID is XXXXX ...”
There were many different comnts, but most of them were “wishes” from “extrely friendly fans”.
What was surprising was that there were no argunts between Chen Mo and Qiu Bin. Chen Mo didn’t rub it in, nor did Qiu Bin try and wiggle his way out. The both of them just went on with their lives.
The fans that bought snacks and drinks, ready for so drama were extrely unsatisfied.
They thought that there would be drama, but just as I’m getting ready you tell it’s over?
However, as both parties have backed off, there was nothing to be unsatisfied of. No matter how hard they tried, the fans were unable to start anything, leading them to leave it as it was.
What the people waiting for a show didn’t know was that sothing dark was creeping about in the video ga industry.

Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt headquarters.
Qiu Bin handed over his resignation better with both hands onto the desk of Lin Chaoxu.
Lin Chaoxu lifted his head and saw Qiu Bin, and pushed the letter away, back towards him.
Qiu Bin was shocked, “Mr. Lin...”
Lin Chaoxu said, “It’s just a promotional space, he can have it.”
Qiu Bin was embarrassed, “Sorry, Mr Lin, I...”
Lin Chaoxu waved dismissively, suggesting that there was no need for him to continue.
“This matter wasn’t all bad. At least you’ve revealed a new threat to the company.”
Lin Chaoxu stood up and walked to the window in his office, and said as he looked out at the view, “If it wasn’t for this, it would’ve taken us six months to a year to realise the huge potential that Chen Mo possesses. Knowledge of this a year in advance in exchange for a promotional space was worth it.”
Qiu Bin could finally relax. He thought that Lin Chaoxu was about to go off at him, and even had his resignation letter ready. Turns out, Lin Choaxu wasn’t even mad.
Indeed, soone who was able to build Emperor Dynasty Entertainnt had better foresight and forbearance than the average Joe.
Lin Chaoxu said, “Don’t worry about the promotional space, I’ll send soone over to Chen Mo and discuss the details.”
Qiu Bin lowered his head, “Alright.”
Liu Chaoxu walked in front of Qiu Bin, “However, there’s still sothing I need you to do.”
Qiu Bin asked, “What’s that?”
Lin Chaoxu said sternly, “Copy I Am MT and make a reskinned version of it.”
Qiu Bin was shocked, “Again?”
Lin Chaoxu nodded, “Yes. If you’re worried about the pressure from the fans, you can publish it under so C-grade video ga designer. But the ga must be done under your supervision. I hope it’s playstyle can fully mimic I Am MT.”
Qiu Bin replied after a pause, nodding, “Yes, I understand.”
Qiu Bin picked up the resignation letter from the desk before leaving Lin Chaoxu’s office.
