Chapter 74 - 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” game was very profitable.
It was even more profitable than most highly priced games that sell many copies!
Hard surprised, half baffled.
Many designers couldn’t comprehend how this low quality game that’s only one hundred something megabytes, 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 times.
Video game designers that swept I Am MT under the rug have now begun looking into how the game came to become successful.
The video game media are once again working overtime thanks to Chen Mo.
At the end of the month, and the date where the bet is due.
The fans that bought snacks and drinks, ready for some drama were extremely unsatisfied.
They thought that there would be drama, but just as I’m getting ready you tell me 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 something dark was creeping about in the video game industry.

Emperor Dynasty Entertainment 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, someone who was able to build Emperor Dynasty Entertainment had better foresight and forbearance than the average Joe.
Lin Chaoxu said, “Don’t worry about the promotional space, I’ll send someone 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 something 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 some C-grade video game designer. But the game 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.
