Chapter 79 - Picking Out a Writer
Chen Mo added some more information on World of Azeroth.
“Moonglade: One of the most unique places in Kalimdor. The forest is untouched by corruption and maintains its initial purity and serenity, much different from other locations in Kalimdor. Moonglade is a safezone as damaging to forest or creating confrontation will be met by the wrath of the druids. Moonglade is often the location where the Alliance and Horde hold their meetings for treaties. The tauren often visit Moonglade to learn the way of the druids from the elves.
It didn’t take long after the update was posted for discussion among the fans to start.
“Oh man, I didn’t think I’d live to see this. Chen Mo posted an update!”
“The previous post forgot to add: So far!”
“You think you’d get away with posting dozens of words to keep us occupied? Why don’t you learn from the web novel writers who post tens of thousands of words everyday!”
“This just isn’t enough!!!!!!!”
“Hey, are you not updating this because you’ve made enough money?”
During this time, Chen Mo still needed to hire two employees, one in charge of story writing, the other for balancing.
Of course Chen Mo could do all of it, but it would be too time consuming. Moreover, there are many repetitive jobs in these areas, and it wasn’t too fulfilling to do those things again and again.
There was no way Chen Mo would attempt larger scale games before hiring reliable writers and balancers. It could take ages without them, not to mention it would be a hassle juggling between all the aspects as well as the potential for poor quality.
In Chen Mo’s eyes, Zheng Hongxi had a good foundation, and would have good potential with some training.
At this moment, Chen Mo’s phone rang.
Chen Mo was speechless. What was going on, there have been so many phone calls recently. He couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Chen Mo proceeded to pick up the phone, “Hello?”
“Hello, Is this Mr. Chen Mo?” replied a voice of a woman
“Yes, who is this?” replied Chen Mo.
The woman replied, “I’m Han Lu, a journalist from Tianji.com’s gaming channel. I’d like to arrange an interview, would you be interested?”
Chen Mo was shocked, “Huh? Interview?”
Han Lu replied, “Yep, our editor in chief thinks that I Am MT was quite successful and is quite topical. Which is why we would like to have an interview. It wouldn’t take up too much time, an hour or two at most. I’d like to talk about the thought process during the designing phase of the game.”
Chen Mo replied after a few moments of thinking. “Sure, no problem.”
Han Lu said, “Alright, are you free tomorrow morning? I planned to meet you in your experience store.”
“I’m free.”
Han Lu replied, “Sure, then we’ll meet tomorrow morning then. Be there or be square!”
After hanging up, Chen Mo was in shock.
An interview? Have I become someone with that much clout?
