Solving the problem of card art was only the first step.
Chen Mo decided to deal with other visual resources, such as UI, background, and card special effects later. If possible he wanted to outsource it, otherwise he’d just have to do it himself.
There was still a more serious problem: finding a dependable animation company!
Replicating I Am MT shouldn’t be a problem for the animation companies in this world. However, Chen Mo wanted to make it higher quality, at least up to the level of the last few seasons of I Am MT, and it would be even better if it was able to surpass the quality of Warrior VS Dragon [1].
After all, this animated series was essentially promoting the game. If he gave up the effects of promoting in order to save money, he would be neglecting the essentials!
Chen Mo didn’t know anyone at any animation companies, either. After giving it some thought, he decided to give Zhao Zihao a call.
After all, Zhao Zihao owned a video game workshop, and would frequently socialize with others in the video game industry. It wouldn’t be hard for him to find a dependable animation company.
During the call, Chen Mo briefly went over his specifications, and Zhao Zihao got him a contact for an animation company in no time.
This Dazzling Aurora Studio was fairly well known in the industry, and had a few decent animations, therefore the company was probably a good choice.
Chen Mo went over his requirements briefly and arranged a meeting with a person in charge tomorrow in his experience store.

By the time the discussions were done, Chen Mo could barely keep his eyes open.
“This Super Accelerator is quite something…”
Chen Mo went to bed after woefully cleaning himself up.

Morning the next day…
Chen Mo had slept for a full ten hours, and still felt quite stiff.
No wonder they warned against using it multiple times in short succession; you might actually die from it!
-Wake up, washing and rinsing, open the doors.-
Wen Lingwei joined Su Jinyu, arriving at 10 AM sharp every day. She brought her own drawing tablet and laptop, colouring the characters down on the first floor of the experience store.
During the afternoon, the person in charge from Dazzling Aurora Studio arrived, and Chen Mo invited him to his office on the second floor.
The man was called Guo Feng. He looked about forty, and very kind, although he was starting to go bald.
Chen Mo didn’t go through the normal welcoming of guests, and went straight to the point, detailing his requirements.
“Here’s what’s going on. I want to make an animated series. There will be ten episodes in the first season, ten minutes for each episode. There will be a song for both the opening and the closing of each episode.
“I will provide the characters, scenes, story, dialogue, and shots. All you guys need to do is execute it according to my specifications.
“I was wondering how much this would cost.”
