Chapter 116 - Finally Met a Pro (1/2)
The forum was filled with news that Silent wasn’t online today.
Many players were happy that they were spared, but a few observers were sad that Silent didn’t show up.
As Silent gained popularity, there were quite a few observer streams on the larger streaming platform, there was one observer who managed to gather hundreds of thousands of views at their peak.
It wasn’t surprising as although players like Kaiser were entertaining to watch, they were usually evenly matched with the opponents. Although the gameplay was high level, it wasn’t what the players were looking for.
On the other hand, Silent would win every single game while playing random. Although he wasn’t playing at a particularly high level, he had made his way to a three thousand level player, which was incredibly entertaining.
A majority of viewers preferred to watch him bully noobs too, as it felt like a drama.
Maybe that wasn’t quite right. Many viewers liked watching noobs getting bullied, but not noobs that were super low ranked. They knew that it wasn’t that entirely possible to bully players above thirty five hundred, so bullying players around the three-thousand level mark would be the most entertaining.
Three-thousand level players were considered quite good as they were decent mechanically as well as in terms of game knowledge, and it was most entertaining bullying players like those.
It was just another long boring day for viewers that were sitting in front of their computers waiting to watch Silent play some games.
—Night time—
After a day of discussion, the representative from Meteorite Technology decided to accept all of Chen Mo’s requests and recieved the distribution rights of Warcraft.
There weren’t many tricks they could try to do as Chen Mo asserted that he had choices.
In the end, the representative of Meteorite Technology could do nothing but give in.
It couldn’t be helped as the quality of Warcraft was so high had Chen Mo had the leverage in the negotiation.
The contract was signed.
Any changes made to Warcraft’s mechanics have to go through Chen Mo. Chen Mo has the right to put his hand into the translations; and revenue (excluding costs) will be split 3:7, with Chen Mo taking seventy percent.
It might be the worst, most humiliating day for Meteorite Technology, borderline bringing shame to the country.
The distributor usually takes the bigger cut in deals like these, and the game would be considered quite good if it got a fifty-fifty split. But only thirty percent from Warcraft?
The representative from Meteorite Technology was very conflicted, as this might be the highlight of his career, of the absolute lowest moment.
After signing the contract, the representative went back to prepare the matters about shipping it overseas.
On the other hand, Chen Mo went back to his computer to play more ranked matches.
He estimated that he should be playing against thirty-eight hundred point players if he were to win a few more games.

“Hmm? The Ultimate Tentacle Monster is online!”
“Is that Silent who queues with random race? Hurry up, he’s about to queue!”
The observing streamers quickly quit the games they were spectating to spectate Silent upon realising.
First match.
Second match.
Third match.
It was just as usual, a random race, and dismantling his opponents. Their opponents would feel disgusted at ten minutes, feel like quitting at twenty minutes, and would type GG in thirty minutes.
