Chapter 111 - Expand Overseas?
It was late at night.
Horrific screams can be heard from the second floor of the experience store.
“What the! Give me storyboarding skill books!!”
“My goodness why is it an animation book again!!”
“I want to go to the second level! Stop messing with me and give me that storyboarding skill book!”
If the experience didn’t have good sound-proofing, his neighbours probably would’ve called the police on him.
It had been a month since Warcraft went online, and the official sales stated that he sold seven hundred and forty thousand copies, meaning that Chen Mo got nearly forty-one million RMB into his pocket.
As there was a large portion of sales that came from Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, a lot of his profits went straight to him without giving cuts to the official app store, which was why it was higher than expected.

Chen Mo woke up at the same time as usual the next day.
There were already people waiting outside the experience store before it had opened. It was completely full ten minutes after it opened.
After Warcraft became popular, Chen Mo’s experience store also gained plenty of attention. Nearby players chose to visit his experience store to play Warcraft instead of nearby internet cafes.
Chen Mo planned on playing on one himself, but he decided against it as he wanted to visit the internet cafe anyways.
After dealing with a few fans, Chen Mo left the experience store.
At this moment Chen Mo received a call from an unknown number.
“Hello?” answered Chen Mo.
It was from someone he’d never heard from before, “Hello, are you Mr Chen Mo, designer of Warcraft?”
Chen Mo cleared his throat, “Yep, in the flesh.”
After two seconds of silence, the caller said, “Hello, I’m calling from the overseas department of Meteorite Technology. I’m calling today to discuss opportunities with Warcraft.”
Chen Mo was shocked, Meteorite Technology?
Meteorite Technology was quite a famous company in China. They focused on translating Chinese games into other languages to ship overseas.
Their services included translations, release, overseas approval processes, so there wasn’t much the designer had to do.
Chen Mo was actually thinking of an overseas distribution company, and this time they came at the right time.
It wasn’t surprising as Warcraft did so well in China. It already had potential of beating Legion Conquest, and the Western Fantasy theme would also do very well in the western market.
Therefore, companies like these have also seriously considered getting the rights to distribute Warcraft overseas.
Chen Mo gave it some thought before replying, “Alright, we can talk about it. How about we discuss it in person in the experience store tomorrow.
After deciding on the time, the caller left the call filled with joy. Getting to Chen Mo before other companies did was certainly an opportunity they never expected.
Chen Mo didn’t put too much attention on this matter as he felt that based on Warcraft’s quality, it wouldn’t do bad no matter which company did it. Knowing that, the only thing to consider was the pricing.
After grabbing a can of drink from the experience store, Chen Mo headed towards Fates Internet Cafe.
