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!-

This was like a war in the olden times with two sides. On one side, the general was talking smack, saying anything that he wanted. But the general of the other side didn’t even dare respond?

That would surely reduce morale!

The disappointed fans stopped arguing and went to Chen Mo’s DMs.

“Hey, could you say something, Mr Qiu Bin!”

“Mr Qiu Bin, he said he was copying you. Attacking him!”

“Mr. Qiu Bin, you can’t just stay silent at times like this. This really hurts us, your long time supporters.”

“Could it be that Guardian of the Holy Spring did copy Plants vs Zombies?”

Qiu Bin finally cracked.

He planned to turn off Weibo, out of sight, out of mind, after all. But an unexplained anger came from inside him, and he couldn’t resist the urge to go back on Weibo.

As soon as he turned it on, all the messages that he missed came at him at once. Chen Mo’s Weibo in particular made him extremely angry.

-What are you trying to say? You think you’re a big deal now? You may be in the right, but you should know your place! You’re quite brave to be challenging someone from Emperor Dynasty Entertainment!

-Alright, I’m going all out today!-

Qiu Bin’s hands were trembling from anger, and he sent a Weibo in reply: I don’t have time to fight with some nobody videogame designer like you, as I’m quite busy. Though your efforts at finding trouble are quite admirable, if I didn’t know who you were I would’ve thought you were some hotshot in the industry. I heard your game did pretty well, five hundred thousand sales in the first month, right? And you’re quite cocky because of it, right? If I got five hundred thousand sales in the first month I would be too ashamed to talk to the others in Emperor Dynasty Entertainment.

His fans were happy when this extensive yet classy Weibo was sent.

He was right! Emperor Dynasty Entertainment was the biggest channel with copious amounts of users. Five hundred thousand sales in the first month wasn’t much for Emperor Dynasty Entertainment.

“Nice one Mr Qiu Bin!”

“A heavy hit! Keep going at him!”

His supporters were leaving comments under his Weibo in support.

Chen Mo laughed, as what Qiu Bin said was quite classy.

Qiu Bin avoided the topic of copying and went straight to his identity to threaten Chen Mo. Although what he said about sales was a bit stretched, Chen Mo couldn’t say anything in retaliation.

However, Chen Mo didn’t mind, as his plan wasn’t to argue with him. He just wanted him to reply!

From Chen Mo’s perspective, Qiu Bin wasn’t his rival, but just a stepping stone in his plans!

However he still had to play out the rival part, so Qiu Bin would take the bait.

Chen Mo replied: I don’t think there’s a point to arguing. How about this? Since you’re quite confident, let’s make a bet!

The spectators were shocked. What, again?

Many of the people involved remembered the bet between Chen Mo and Shi Huazhe. He said confidently that Chen Mo’s first game would never reach a hundred thousand. The result of that was that he hadn’t been on Weibo for more than a month.

Qiu Bin was also shocked, but he couldn’t back off now, and replied: What are we betting on?

Chen Mo responded: Aren’t you confident in your game? How about this, I’ll make a game too, and we’ll release it at the same time. Are you on?

Qiu Bin was confused. What did he mean?
