Chen Mo did some stretching before going downstairs.

There had been more customers in the experience store recently as many players in the Imperial Capital wanted to have a ‘nice meeting’ and take a few photos with Chen Mo.

After all, Chen Mo was now a ‘famous videogame designer”.

The players who were talking about sending razor blades turned out to be quite friendly in real life. They were especially happy after Chen Mo agreed to give them early access to the beta test for his next game.

Su Jinyu couldn’t help but shake her head at these people, “Is this what they refer to in history textbooks when they talk about how weak and comprisable the petite bourgeoisie were…”

After talking to a few of the new customers, Chen Mo put on his jacket in preparation of going out.

“Hmm? Are you going out, manager?” asked Su Jinyu.

Chen Mo seldom went outside and would spend most of his time in the experience store. If he wasn’t making new games, he would be thinking about making new games.

Everything that could be done online would be done online. This included shopping and food delivery.

Which was why Su Jinyu was shocked that Chen Mo would be going outside.

Chen Mo replied, “Yep, I’m going for a walk. I’ll be back before the store closes.”

Chen Mo then left the experience store and walked towards Fates Internet Cafe on the other side of the road.

Chen Mo had already experienced VR games and had a certain idea about it, the next step would be to check out how the PC market was doing.

Chen Mo had only dabbled in the mobile games up until now, and therefore didn’t have too deep of an understanding for the PC or VR side of things.

However, Chen Mo wasn’t satisfied with being known as a famous mobile game designer, he wanted to expand into PC games as well.

And of course, he needed to do some research before entering the industry, and the best way to do research was to visit an internet cafe.

It was easy to tell how popular a game was just by looking at how many people were playing said game in an internet cafe. This number would most likely be more reliable that lists or leaderboards online where it would be easier to fake numbers.

At the front desk, Zhuo Yao was sitting there eating sunflower seeds while watching drama.

Zhuo Yao noticed immediately when Chen Mo walked in, hastily throwing away the shells into the bin, “Hey, a rare customer. Come in, come in.”

Chen Mo laughed, “Aren’t you the owner of this internet cafe? Why do you have to work as the cashier too?”

“Sigh, it’s to cut costs. I do have a cashier, but I can’t have her keep watch day in day out. I’ve been contemplating on hiring another one, but that’d cost a bit. And since I didn’t have much to do, I decided to do this myself,” replied Zhuo Yao.

Chan Mo laughed, “What a way to pass time. Are there any free spots? I’ll take one.”

“Yeah, just swipe your ID here. It has never been all that busy here, I’d always have empty spots other than the nights of holidays.
