–The next day.–

Han Lu got to the experience store on time.

She seemed quite ladylike, and from the looks of it, she might only be in her mid-twenties.

“Nice to meet you Mr. Chen Mo.” Han Lu reached out to shake hands with Chen Mo.

“Let’s go somewhere a bit more quiet.” Chen Mo said as he brought her to his office in the second floor.

As the two of them walked up the second floor, Su Jinyu, Jia Peng and the others stared at them as they disappeared upstairs.

“Who’s that chick?” asked Jia Peng.

Su Jinyu replied, “I think its a journalist from a video game media who’s here to interview the manager.”

Jia Peng was shocked, “Interview him? Oh my, has the manager managed to gain that much clout?”

Everyone was shocked, “Oh geez, is the manager going to be hugely popular?”

–Inside the office.–

Chen Mo poured Han Lu a glass of water as the two of them sat on the sofa.

“You’re probably quite busy recently, thanks for taking time out for this interview,” said Han Lu.

Chen Mo shook his head, “I’m not really that busy, I’ve been taking a break recently.”

Han Lu cleared her throat and said, “Umm, yeah. Alright.”

And from this, your name is now very well known in the industry. Well, when you were in the initial planning stages of the game, did you expect it to be so profitable?”

Chen Mo nodded, “Yep, I knew.”

Han Lu was visibly confused.

This was completely different from expectations.

Normally when videogame designers are met with this quetion, they would usually say something along the lines of: “I never expected that”. Mainly because the videogame industry was full of unpredictability, and nobody can be sure that their game will be massively popular.

But Chen Mo straight up said that he knew I Am MT would be this profitable?

He must be telling tall tales!

After facing such difficulties in the first question, Han Lu felt a headache coming. She could already tell that Chen Mo’s brain functions differently from the average Joe.

“Well, could you talk about how you knew? Or perhaps, how were you so confident in the game?”

This second question was made up on the spot, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief afterwards. She gave herself a ten out of ten as a professional journalist to be able to deal with problems like that on the spot.

Chen Mo said, “Actually, my motto for designing games is “Creating happiness mindfully”. Being able to make a good game stems from three different aspects.

“First, my passion for videogames.
