Chapter 291 - Sticking Logos onto the System Units (1/2)
Li Yada quickly answered, “Ah, yes. A while ago, I contacted a few translation workspaces. However, Repent and be Saved has high standards for these translators. We haven’t found a suitable translator yet.
“We’re still trying to contact more experienced translators, but it might take a while…”
The other party smiled. “That’s great!
“The official platform was thinking about making Repent and be Saved the benchmark for games exporting Chinese culture. If you’re agreeable, we can look for experienced translators on your behalf. We’re certain that the translation would be authentic and clear.
“You won’t have to worry about the fees and other peripheral issues as well. We have professionals to take care of these things.
“We’ll think about producing English and Japanese versions first, and then take our time to produce the game in other languages. There’s no rush.”
Li Yada was elated. “Of course, that’ll be
great!”
She knew very well that the official platform would have far more resources and connections than a private company like Tengda. If they could step in and help them find suitable translators, they would probably be able to hire expert translators!
After Li Yada agreed to the proposal, both parties discussed a few more items and exchanged contact details.
They still had to take the rest of the process one step at a time, but with the strong backing of the official platform, Li Yada was sure that it would be smooth.
After she hung up, Li Yada began to process the pleasant surprise.
The official platform had offered to translate Repent and be Saved into other languages. What’s more, they were taking the initiative to market the game for them! However, on further thought, Li Yada realized that this was reasonable.
Repent and be Saved was a top-quality game with rich content. It was the perfect marketing opportunity for the official platform!
From what happened with the mobile version of Bloody Battle Song to Game Designer, one would be able to tell that the officials supported original games that nurtured the right moral values that contained deep meaning.
What’s more, Repent and be Saved was not just good in terms of gameplay and quality, but it also contained rich culture. Even foreigners did not mind searching the dictionary as they played the game. It was obvious that this contributed greatly to the game’s attractiveness.
Wasn’t a game like that exactly what the official platform wanted?
Thus, it was only logical that they would fully back it and take the initiative to get it translated.
A realization suddenly dawned on Li Yada.
“Could Boss Pei have guessed this would happen?
“What did Boss Pei say before?
“He said that we need to wait for the right time to venture into the overseas market. Every single factor has to be right. Without adequate resources and support, we could be easily eliminated once we enter.
“We now have both resources and support! We shouldn’t wait any longer to venture into the overseas market, should we?
“It looks like Boss Pei was telling me to be patient and wait for this opportunity. He knew that the official platform was bound to do something within this month. That was why he remained so calm!
“Eh, but Boss Pei also said we’ll only think about translating the game next month.
“Was Boss Pei under the impression that the official platform would only notice the game next month and arrange for it to be translated thereafter?
“That’s possible, too. After all, it would take time for the game to become popular and for the official platform to take note of it. Perhaps Boss Pei did not expect Repent and be Saved to become so popular so quickly!
“This is great. I’ll report the good news to Boss Pei right now!
“It’s a pity that he isn’t in the office. If he was, I would have told him to personally speak to the official platform’s staff. He would probably have been over the moon, wouldn’t he?”

Li Yada was still celebrating in her heart as she dialed Boss Pei’s number.
“Achoo!’
Tugging at his blanket in his rented apartment, Pei Qian suddenly sneezed. He cleaned his mucus and tossed the used tissue paper in the faraway trash can. Plop! It landed beside the trash can, on the ground instead.
“F*ck!”
Pei Qian was speechless. He tossed his blanket aside, hopped off his bed, and threw the tissue paper into the trash can. Then, he jumped back onto his bed at lightning speed to continue lazing around.
There was no need to go to work today because he… was down with the flu!
They were now in the middle of autumn and winter. The weather was getting cooler. After all the running around he did over the past few days, Pei Qian finally came down with the flu.
Thus, he decided not to go anywhere today. He was going to lie in the bed like a corpse and drink as much warm water as he could.
“I’m so miserable.”
Pei Qian could not help but whine.
Why is the story developing so differently from what I imagined?!
According to my original plan, I should be lying back and counting my winnings by now, right? Why am I still trying so hard to spend money?! Ah, this is so sad! Pei Qian had just been playing with his cell phone when Li Yada called. He paused for a moment, and then quickly answered the call.
Don’t tell me that you’ve created another huge mess in the two days that I’ve been gone. I can’t take any more blows!
“Is there something wrong…?” Pei Qian sounded listless.
Li Yada was obviously shocked. “Boss Pei, have you caught the flu?”
