Chapter 51
Everyone was shocked when Chen Mo sent that Weibo.
What was he trying to do? Was he seriously going for the chase? This Chen Mo fellow wasn’t leaving himself any room to retreat!
It’s rare to see someone like him who was always looking for a fight. Moreover, his opponent was Emperor Dynasty Entertainment!
The supporters of Qiu Bin started quitting the battle.
-We are here arguing with the players of Plants vs Zombies*, and Qiu Bin isn’t going to say anything?-*
-Look at Chen Mo, he’s tried to draw blood twice!-
Chen Mo said: If you lose, you’ll promote my game on the Promoted This Month section on Emperor Dynasty Entertainment’s front page for a month, for free.
Qiu Bin scowled.
Promoted This Month was the best space for promotion on the Emperor Dynasty Entertainment channel, they never gave the space to games from other channels. It was a spot reserved for a few A and S-grade video game designers within Emperor Dynasty Entertainment.
Moreover, a whole month?
Qiu Bin answered: I don’t have that kind of power.
Chen Mo replied: I know you don’t have that power, but you’re still a B-grade video game designer. You must know someone who does inside Emperor Dynasty Entertainment, right? Try to make it happen, I believe in you.
If Qiu Bin begged Lin Chaoxu, the Chairman of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment himself, he might be able to get that spot. But he wouldn’t have any dignity left.
If he lost a bet against a C-grade video game designer and a promotional space belonging to Emperor Dynasty Entertainment? How could he bring himself to ask for that space from his higher-ups?
Qiu Bin was about to explode from all the pent-up anger. Chen Mo was too confident, did he not treat Qiu Bin as a threat at all?
Qiu Bin didn’t believe he could lose!
He didn’t believe in otherworldly forces, either. -How could Chen Mo attack me like that? How could he be so confident?-
Qiu Bin replied: Alright, if I lose, I’ll get you that promoted space! What if you lose? Can you give me a promoted space?
Chen Mo gave it some thought. If the bet wasn’t big enough, Qiu Bin wouldn’t accept it, but he didn’t have anything that would be comparable to the promoted space of Emperor Dynasty Entertainment.
Chen Mo quickly replied: If I lose, I’ll spend time outside the Emperor Dynasty Entertainment building crossdressed!
This shocked all the spectators.
Wow, these guys sure know how to make it entertaining!
In the end, you’re still a videogame designer, can’t you have some integrity?
Qiu Bin decided to accept: Alright! I’ll be waiting for you in four month’s time!
Chen Mo replied swiftly: No problem, get the promotional spot ready!
—
After Chen Mo sent that Weibo, he checked his watch: his fifteen minutes had just ran out.
-Me losing? Don’t be silly!-
Why did Chen Mo want to anger him and start a bet? To prove himself? No!
Chen Mo didn’t mind others copying him, much less tearing each other up because of it. He didn’t see anything meaningful in that.
What he was really after was the promotional space, and the publicity it would bring his game from the attention it got.
