Chen Mo replied after some thought, “Oh, this game is the same as I Am MT, a form of ‘creating happiness mindfully’ I guess. I think the success of Onmyoji comes from the players, and evidently, the players are feeling the happiness I created for them more than ever.”

The corner of Han Lu’s mouth twitched, Chen Mo was still the same as before!

But Han Lu wasn’t worried as she came prepared.

“Many players complain that the game relies too heavily on RNG and the game doesn’t treat the unlucky ones among us well, what do you think?”

Chen Mo replied, “Oh I think compared to I Am MT, Onmyoji is even more balanced.”

Han Lu was confused, what did this mean? How could you call a game that had so many paying players balanced?

Chen Mo could tell that she was confused, explaining, “You see, in I Am MT, you become stronger the more you pay. The whales have a definite advantage over free players. But in Onmyoji, the whales aren’t any stronger than the free players. It’s not like they can’t draw SSRs if they don’t pay. As long as they word hard, they can beat the whales too. Doesn’t this show that Onmyoji is more fair and balanced than I Am MT?”

Han Lu was shocked, she felt that something wasn’t quite right, yet couldn’t refute.

And maybe Chen Mo actually made sense?

Han Lu got that thought out of her mind and switched topics.

“There were rumours that you have your assistants eighteen months of pay in year end bonus after your success in Onmyoji. Is that true?”

Chen Mo replied, “No, that’s just a rumour.”

Han Lu nodded,” I thought it sounded too good to be true, I might’ve believed it if it was five or six months.”

Chen Mo replied a few moments later, “It’s quite easy to tell that it’s fake. It’s not the end of the year, it was a quarterly bonus.”

Han Lu was utterly shocked, “Huh? Eighteen months of pay as quarterly bonus?”

Chen Mo nodded, “Yes, everybody knows that us at Thunderbolt Entertainment will always follow the idea of ‘creating happiness mindfully’. I hope that every one of my staff will put their heart into making each and every game. MOney isn’t what is important, it’s our ideal and our love of video games that brings us together.

“This bonus is to ensure that they have their basic necessities. There’s quite a lot of stress living in the imperial capital, and it’s difficult working with me…

Before Chen Mo could finish, Han Lu was shocked. Eighteen months pay as quarterly bonus? To ensure basic necessities?

“Are you guys hiring? Perhaps someone who has studied in a major university?” asked Han Lu.

“We aren’t really lacking help at the moment…”

“Just cleaning is fine too!” exclaimed Han Lu.

Chen Mo laughed, “We have some plans to hire more, but I haven’t decided on when.”

Han Lu nodded,”Ahem, alright. Let’s move onto our next topic.

“Everybody knows that you’re the number one video game designer who knows how to make money. What do you think about the idea of making money? Do you have any secrets?”
