"You two can argue as much as you want, just don't give each other the silent treatment," Chen Lu said helplessly. "Speaking of which, you don't need to do everything yourself. You should learn from me."

Jiang Chao clicked his tongue. "I just want things to develop faster."

Chen Lu wanted to offer some advice, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

All the words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a single one.

The two men had different goals and put in different efforts. Although they both wanted to grow bigger and stronger, he was not as impatient as Jiang Chao.

"If all else fails, you can promote Peng Leyun and have him assist you."

Chen Lu took the folder and looked closely at the ashtray full of cigarette butts. "You and Liu Yan have such a deep relationship, there's no need to argue over something like this."

"Besides, no matter how much you try, one person can't change anything. At most, you can make the project more stable, but you can't make it faster."

Jiang Chao nodded helplessly and pushed the phone in front of Chen Lu.

"Look at this."

Chen Lu looked closely and saw that the video was of their studio's game, and the person in the lower left corner of the screen was a well-known content creator on AC station.

He can be considered a top influencer on AC (Answer Keyboard).

"Such a big up?" Chen Lu was somewhat surprised.

"Not only that, but more and more people are doing this on live stream."

A smug smile appeared on Jiang Chao's face, which had been full of worry just moments before. "It's all because of the butterfly effect you created at the comic convention. We didn't spend a single penny on advertising in this regard."

Chen Lu's lips curled into a smile. "I have a feeling we're about to take off."

"There's also bad news," Jiang Chao suddenly said.

"What bad news?"

“There are many competitors, all of which are exactly the same type of game as ours.”

Chen Lu leaned back in his chair, seemingly unconcerned. "This isn't bad news. I thought of it when the game was starting to gain popularity."

"As long as we maintain our own uniqueness and the creativity of future versions, we can be similar. Everyone can be similar, but it's impossible for them to be exactly the same. Human imagination is limited, and it's perfectly normal for us to bump into each other sometimes."

"You can't be too fastidious in this line of work. We're just quick this time, but sooner or later we'll have to learn from other people's ideas."

Jiang Chao nodded in deep agreement, "But there's one company that's not quite right. They spent tens of millions to buy a game license from someone else, and they're trying to steal our market share after we leave the platform."

Chen Lu's gaze sharpened, after all, he had never intended to stay involved in WeChat mini-games.

Jiang Chao presented the webpage he had found to Chen Lu, saying, "This company is a subsidiary."

Investor... Lin Jingming?

Chen Lu was stunned.

"You know him?"

"This is Mo Yuqing's stepfather."

Jiang Chao cursed, "Damn it, why is he messing with us?!"

"They wouldn't bother with a small company like yours."

Chen Lu didn't say anything more and focused his attention on the demo video of the other party's trial version.

A few seconds later, he slapped Jiang Chao on the head hard.

"XX, that's not the point. Didn't you notice this?"

To prevent player attrition, they release a new character with their own exclusive card deck every now and then, making the already addictive roguelike game even more playable.

However, a set of cards that Chen Lu was very familiar with appeared in this video.

Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, "This is a character that was eliminated after our internal testing, exactly the same."

Chen Lu rejected the character because it was too overpowered and not suitable for the WeChat mini-game platform where players have to watch ads after dying.

But if this is a character you can get with a first-time recharge of six yuan...

It's perfect for their game, which is about to be launched independently.

Chen Lu put down his phone, smiled, and took a sip of cola.

"The enemy is inside."
