Chapter 168 - Many Lies (1/2)

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The interview lasted two hours, and every trap Han Lu laid down had been dealt with by Chen Mo. Han Lu even felt that Chen Mo was the one trapping her.

Han Lu decided to leave when she exhausted all her questions.

“Thanks for having me today.”

Han Lu was bothered by the fact that she was alright even though she didn’t get a single serious answer.

Chen Mo replied, “You’re welcome. I hope you’ll do justice to this interview, and show my love for the players to them.”

Han Lu said goodbye before leaving the experience store.

She had written down plenty of notes, but after reading it through again, it didn’t seem like she had much useful information written down at all.

However, she found herself to be alright with that and this was within her expectations.

The article was released three days later.

It more or less followed the interview without adding much to it. Han Lu released the interview exactly as Chen Mo said.

It wasn’t that Han Lu didn’t want to add anything to it, she couldn’t!

Han Lu was surprised that the Editor in Chief was happy with the article. It was released on the gaming channel on Tianji.com titled: ‘Interviewing Onmyoji’s creator: Money is something that happens along the way.”

There was a paragraph that was as followed:

“When the author asked if he had a secret as the country’s best videogame designer at making money, Chen Mo responded: Well, I’m not making games just for money, it’s just something that happens along the way and the reason he makes games is to give players happiness, add value to society, in the name of art. He also added that he actually losing money a lot of the time.”

Many fans were angered by this article as it was shared to various forums and websites, and even quoted by other media.

“Another one! This editor is working with Chen Mo to steal my IQ points again!”

“My goodness! I’d have to be stupid to believe this!”

“Onmyoji is more balanced? Are you joking?”

“Last poster, Chen Mo is right. It’s fair when everything comes down to luck.”

“My goodness, eighteen months of bonus? Chen Mo is so rich! Does anybody have Thunderbolt Entertainment’s recruitment line? I wanna be hired as a janitor!”

“Previous poster, you’re wrong, it’s a quarterly bonus.”

“How can someone be so rich! I’m so mad!”

“Refund my hard earned money Chen Mo!”

“He’s here with that ‘create happiness mindfully’ crap again! I knew that this guy was evil deep down. He might seem nice in Warcraft and Tale of Wuxia, but you see his true form when he’s in mobile games!

“Yeah, I’m only playing his PC games in the future, I’m boycotting his mobile games!”

“Can you guys relax? Are you trying to get Chen Mo to move that profit model to the PC market?”

“Huh? He wouldn’t, right?”

“Stop talking about it, it’ll be terrible if he does!”

“My goodness, making money is just a side thing? Casually making two hundred million a month? I’m impressed at how someone can be so alright with being so full of themselves.”
