Almighty Game Designer - Chapter 76
Of course, Chen Mo didn’t know anything about the things that happened in the Emperor Interactive Entertainment. However, even if he knew about it, he wouldn’t even care, because now he has a more serious problems to worry about.
Experience shop.
Chen Mo came in from the outside while wearing a sunglass and a mask, and felt relieved that no one has followed him.
Su Jinyu was astounded, “So Manager, why do you look like this?”
Chen Mo removed his sunglass and mask and then took a can from the beverage machine that was beside him, “Why not? I’m also worried about my personal safety.”
Wen Lingwei said while she plays 《I am MT》, “You… do you really consider yourself as a superstar?”
Chen Mo said helplessly, “What, superstar, I am obviously the enemy of everyone.”
Chang Xiuya said while smiling, “Manager, stop acting. You are a game designer, so there is no one that is concern of you everyday.”
Chen Mo said, “I won’t listen to that. I’ll do the math for you, currently, 《I am MT》 has nearly 3 million players, and my weibo followers have also increased to more than 200,000. So I can pretty much be counted as a small internet celebrity now, right?”
Wen Lingwei raised her head, “What, do you dream to become an internet celebrity?”
Chen Mo said, “What do you mean dreaming. Look at my weibo, there are hundreds of people @me everyday. This is how much the players loves me.”
Wen Lingwei has an “are you teasing me” expression, “They are all asking you for your address in order for them to send you blades!”
Chen Mo said, “The players just couldn’t stop themselves from gifting me presents. Doesn’t this show how much they love me?”
Wen Lingwei was shocked, and after three seconds she decided to ignore this shameless guy and continued fighting in the arena.
Su Jinyu said, “Oh yes, Manager, some players have sent us another dozen razor blades, and so I have placed them on your bed.”
Chen Mo was shocked, “What the hell! Why did you put it on my bed? Collect them all and sell them together with the rags.”
Su Jinyu said, “Contrary to what you think, you can’t even buy anything with it let alone some ice cream, so just dispose them.”
Chen Mo said, “This is why I had said that I am paying attention to my personal safety. It will be terrible if I really got GANK* by enthusiastic players.” (T/N: it is in english)
Su Jinyu said with a confused expression, “Gan ke? What is that?”
Chen Mo dazed for a moment and said, “Oh, that is a dialect on my hometown, which has the same meaning as ‘capture’.”
Jia Peng said, “But now 《I am MT》is really popular. I saw 4-5 people playing it on the subway yesterday.”
Chang Xiuya said, “There are also a lot of students playing it in the school.”
Wen Lingwei said, “If you go search for how many people that are swearing at the manager in the top searches every day on Weibo, then you will know how popular the game is.”
Jia Peng said, “Those top search are also very funny. There are some that are titled ‘Chen Mo return my hard-earned money’.”
Chang Xiuya giggled and said, “Yeah, there have been no other game designer that have been sweared at in the top searches.”
Chen Mo sighed, “I haven’t been on weibo for several days. But as soon as I log in, I get bombarded with notification, and all of it are those that @me or left a message under my weibo, and I couldn’t read them at all.”
Jia Peng said, “Then why are you not happy, there are a lot of game designers who wants to get on the top searches topic but they couldn’t”
Su Jinyu shook his head and said, “I think that the Manager doesn’t want to be on the top searches in this way. If it’s me, I would definitely like to be on top searches due to the players’ love. But to tell you the truth, I still think that this game is weird, even though the Manager had already proved that this is indeed a very profitable.”
Chen Mo says: “Then you think too much, since when did I care about top searches, it’s good enough as long as there is money to earn, silently profiting is the best.”
Everyone, “…As expected, we have overestimated your moral integrity! Miser!”
Su Jinyu asked, “By the way, Manager, what game are we gonna do next? I will go on strike if we do another 《I am MT》.”
Jia Peng also said, “Yes, I feel the same way, doing another anime is possible, but this kind of game should be done less.”
Wen Lingwei said, “You unlucky players are really not suitable for this game.”
Jia Peng, “…”
Chen Mo waved his hand, “The next game won’t be another one like this, since I need to recover myself first, because making this kind of games will make my life shorter.”
Wen Lingwei said, “Wa? Manager, I never expected that you are superstitious?”
Chen Mo said, “I am not superstitious. It’s just that if I make another game like this and I accidentally make some unlucky players angry, then they will come to kill me. This is just to save my life.”
Wen Lingwei was speechless, “This is what you mean about saving your life?!”
Su Jinyu asked, “Manager, then what are you going to do then, please tell me.”
Chen Mo said, “Oh, I’m going to take a week off first.”
Everyone, “Huh??”
Chen Mo was a bit surprised by the reaction of everyone, “What’s the matter? I just made a game that have a 20 million monthly turnover. Isn’t it normal and reasonable to have a week rest?”
Wen Lingwei, “You do not think of progress at all!”
Su Jinyu, “You have no dream!”
Jia Peng, “Dying peacefully!”
Chang Xiuya, “What’s the difference between you and a salted fish?”
Chen Mo thought for a while, “Well, I have more money than a salted fish*?” (T/N: it’s a metaphor for those who do nothing, do not want to move, and have no dreams.)
Everyone, “Get out!”
Su Jinyu said, “Okay, a week’s rest is nothing. Manager, you still need to think about what kind of game you will do after a week, right?”
Wen Lingwei nodded, “You’re right. Will there be any update for 《I am MT》?”
Chen Mo said, “I guess so. There will be a new card that will come out and a new level, then 《I am MT》 will be slowly updated every other month or two. After that, I plan to take a rest and make two simple games first.”
Su Jinyu turned speechless, “What? Manager, another simple game?”
Chen Mo nodded, “Well, it’s much simple than 《I am MT》, and I can basically complete it alone. While I will have you do the other one for you to practice.”
Su Jinyu raised her head, “Manager, you wanted players now you have them, you wanted money and now you have it, but why are you turning into a good for nothing? The more complicated it is, the better, but starting with 《Plants vs Zombies》 it have gotten more and more simpler. What is going on?”
Wen Lingwei said, “Precisely, you are a salted fish without dreams!”
Chen Mo said, “What’s wrong? My creed is that if you can profit with simple games, then I will never make complicated games! If you can win the game just by lying down then why carry*?” (T/N: carry is in english.)
Everyone, “…we don’t quite understand what you are on about.”
Chen Mo said, “Okay, everyone have worked hard, so let us have a good rest this week, and I will also have a good rest and rest assured that after I finish this one, I will then start preparing for a masterpiece that would last for a lifetime.”
Su Jinyu said, “The Manager started bragging again.”
Wen Lingwei was speechless, “We wouldn’t believe a single punctuation from what you have said.”
Chang Xiuya, “Really? Is it really that kind of masterpiece?”
Wen Lingwei became speechless, “Xiu Ya, do you really believe him! Are you a single-celled organism!”
