Chapter 67 (1/2)

The release date for Guardian of the Holy Spring and I am MT approached as the days went by.

Qiu Bin had been worried the past few days because of the hype surrounding the animated series for I am MT manage to gather.

The series continued to gain more fans, and the world of Azeroth also became increasingly rich. There were also more and more discussions surrounding the series, and fanart of characters and Azeroth also started to appear.

Although the growth of this animation did not compare to the one from the parallel world, it was still a considerable threat to Qiu Bin as Guardian of the Holy Spring did not have extra support such as this.

Although Emperor Dynasty Entertainment does have great distribution channels, it wasn’t so much so to allow for every game to become massively popular. Therefore, Qiu Bin was slightly worried that he would mess this up.

Especially after looking into the contents relating to the world of Azeroth, Qiu Bin’s doubt towards himself grew even further.

This world is way too massive!

Two different factions, multiple races and an incredible background story! Not to mention the big cities, important locations and the dozens of characters from the animations. This world had way more depth than Guardian of the Holy Spring!

What game was Chen Mo trying to make? Can he fully replicate all of this in the game?

Qiu Bin didn’t believe that it was possible to replicate all this in a mobile game. First of all Chen Mo was only a C-grade video game designer, he wouldn’t be capable of that. Secondly, with only four months of time, it would practically be impossible to include too many features!

It wouldn’t be enough time even if Chen Mo started working on it immediately after Plants vs Zombies went live.

Moreover, even if Chen Mo managed to squeeze that out of him, what about testing time? And the time for feedback and fine tuning? If an array of problems show up after the game goes live, he’d be digging his own grave!

Qiu Bin didn’t understand a single bit.

According to him, if Chen Mo wanted to win, he’d have to make a game with the quality surpassing that of Plants vs Zombies. And judging from what Chen Mo had some so far, with the animations and websites, how much time would he have left to work on the game?

All Qiu Bin could do was continually improve on Guardian of the Holy Spring. Only time could tell whoever will win the bet.

In the past few days, Wen Lingwei was very happy, but Jia Peng was the exact opposite.

During the testing phase of I am MT, Chen Mo gave everybody eight thousands runes, giving them more than enough to make ten consecutive draws.

Moreover, more credits are given out each day based on the rankings in the arena.

Note, it was credits, which is not the same as being the free stuff given out by the system. This meant that their VIP levels were growing as well.

This was to test the difference in combat abilities of a high tier VIP to the mid-low tier VIPs and if they matched expectations, as well as if the opinions of the different VIP levels matched what Chen Mo had in mind.

In the end, on an even playing field, the combination of cards and the luck aspect started to show.

As Wen Lingwei experimented with different strategies the most, and had great luck with ten consecutive draws, she frequently held the top spot in the arena.

On the other hand, Jia Peng’s terrible luck started to show, frequently drawing purple monster cards from his draws, and his cost of drawing a purple character card was much higher than others. He was ready to give up.

Currently in the arena, Jia Peng was completely dominated by Wen Lingwei.

If it wasn’t for Chen Mo handing out runes daily, he probably would have quit a long time ago from all the beatings he’s taking.

Jia Peng complained to Chen Mo time and time again, on how the game was terrible for unlucky people such as himself, and was on the verge of quitting.

Chen Mo really wanted to reply with, “Brother, heard of Onmyoji?”

However, as Jia Peng’s situation was so depressing that Chen Mo thought that the rates he input was wrong, and looked over the drop rates for cards many times over.
