Chapter 100 - You Want to Learn? I’ll Teach You
Chen Mo was now back in the experience store.
“Manager, welcome back,” greeted Su Jinyu.
Chen Mo nodded, “Yeah, I just went to the internet cafe to do some research and gather some inspiration.”
Su Jinyu was happily surprised, “Wow, you’re planning another game already? Manager, you’re birthing games like a sow to piglets.”
“… Couldn’t you have picked a better metaphor?” replied Chen Mo.
Chen Mo grabbed a can of drink, “Goldfish, how has the mobile game market been lately, have you been keeping an eye on it?”
Su Jinyu replied, “Oh, Lifeline has been doing quite well.”
Chen Mo was speechless, “I didn’t ask you that! Stop watching your own game, I’m asking about the other games on the market.”
Yep, it seemed like these players were more suited to games that would make them stronger by paying money.
Chen Mo opened the forum for Plants vs Zombies, but this time he was pleasantly surprised by the most highly voted post, an introduction to a mod!
Introducing the mod I made, improved the stats for plants and zombies, with 8 new plants and 5 new zombies.
The title was incredibly long, but the thread was incredibly popular too. It was only posted two weeks ago and it managed to reach over one hundred pages in replies.
Chen Mo was also curious. He opened up Plants vs Zombies to discover that the most popular mod was the mod he just saw.
Chen Mo tried it out, and discovered that the main changes were adding the new plants and zombies, but they also made adjustments to the stats of the plants and zombies to adjust the difficulty of the game.
This mod wasn’t the most genious, but was the most complete and most balanced, which was why there were so many fans.
“Yep, this guy isn’t bad. Let’s see if I can get him on board.”
Chen Mo got their phone number through the Thunderbolt Game Pass once again.
“Hello?” it was the voice of another man.
Huh? Why would you say another?
Chen Mo said, “Hello, I’m the creator of Plants vs Zombies, Chen Mo.”
“Oh, hi,” replied the man.
“Uhh, aren’t you suspicious of my identity at all? Aren’t you afraid that I could be pretending to be him?”
The man on the phone laughed, “Who would steal your identity and have tons of angry fans after them.”
Chen Mo was speechless.
“I’m just kidding. I’m Qian Kun, spelt with a Q.”[1]
Chen Mo replied, “Oh that one, alright.”
“Ahem… I’m actually quite a big fan,” said Qian Kun.
This made Chen Mo quite happy, ‘Huh? Really?”
Qian Kun replied, “Yeah, before you made I Am MT.”
This left Chen Mo speechless once again.
“But I became a bigger fan after you made I Am MT. I think being able to use numerical simulations to make such a profitable game is incredibly amazing!” said Qian Kun.
Chen Mo was speechless, why does this kid say things in such a roundabout way?
“You wanna learn?” asked Chen Mo.
“Of course I do!” replied Qian Kun.
“Come over to Imperial Capital then,” said Chen Mo.
TL note: [1] His same has the same pronunciation as another word, and he was just clarifying which one it was.
