From gaming to becoming the richest man, it all started with his counterattack against XunTeng.

Indeed, human potential is limitless, and so is that of law firms.

After Yang Yi's persistent pressure and maneuvering, He Zhou communicated with the law firm several times and waived the fees for the first lawsuit. He even paid out of his own pocket to help Yang Yi set up an overseas branch company so that Arad's Wrath could be restructured and its operating company could be changed. The new company could then use the excuse of being unaware of the lawsuit to delay the process for a while.

Although Yang Yi may be detained for a short period and fined hundreds of thousands of yuan, she will gain hundreds of millions of yuan in revenue.

For Yang Yi, the time spent in Arad's Wrath is his money.

However, due to the gunfire monologue, the plot may take a different turn than in the previous life. If we're lucky, Xun Teng will suffer a huge loss, and Yang Yi won't be detained.

Detention and fines were Yang Yi's last resort. Who would rather be a lawless deadbeat than a hero who can slay dragons?

Besides, for Yang Yi, exchanging a few hundred million for short-term detention isn't really that appealing (seriously, what do you mean by drooling? I didn't drool!).

Next, Yang Yi only needs to secretly contact some media outlets and content creators to recharge their accounts and generate buzz. Xun Teng will die on its own. Hopefully, Nanshan Pizza Hut will step in and try to get him to compensate for his illegal gains.

Although Arad's Wrath is profitable, it's far less profitable than Crossfire. It's said that Crossfire's revenue exceeded one billion in its first month. Yang Yi is really envious.

Arad's Wrath solved Yang Yi's financial problems and increased his fame. The only downside was that it didn't provide Yang Yi with system points. Doesn't plagiarized games count? What about the ones from his previous life?

We're about to be embroiled in a plagiarism scandal, so it's best not to hire top talent now, as it's bad for our reputation (XunTeng: You know it's bad for your reputation!). But we still need to hire game development staff.

How can you develop a new game without a few hundred people?

It's time to free Shen Xiao up. We need to hire a proper secretary. Next time, we can't serve Honey Ice Snow City to the guests, even though I really enjoy it myself.

"No, Brother Yang."

"I'm doing a great job as a secretary, why don't you hire a lead artist?"

"I stayed by your side when you were about to go bankrupt, how come you want to kick me to the curb now that you have money? You old scumbag."

Looking at the furious Shen Xiao, Yang Yi felt a pang of guilt. Shen Xiao was right; we can't use people only when they're needed and then discard them when they're not.

Besides, recent graduates from Tsinghua University are quite capable learners and are worth nurturing.

It's definitely not because of Shen Xiaoxin's newly bleached green hair. Her hair already makes her look too white. With her mature figure and loli voice, she's already too good to be true, but now she's simply dazzlingly beautiful.

Find a qualified secretary to train her.

In May, XunTeng.

"waste!"

"Two months, and what have you accomplished?"

Ma Xiaotie suddenly slammed the phone in his hand at the employee's feet, startling the employee. The secretary behind him breathed a sigh of relief, as this time the phone belonged to Ma Xiaotie himself.

She was heartbroken that her last phone wasn't reimbursed by the finance department because it wasn't for work, and she cried a lot about it.

"I've had someone look into it. The game from the other company was outsourced to a small company. They can't even unpack a mobile game. What's the point of the company paying you high salaries?"

Ding Wenbo frowned as he looked at Ma Xiaotie, who was still standing there, scolding his own employee. Was this a veiled attack to retaliate against him for shirking responsibility and talking back?

"Mr. Ma, it's really not our fault. This game is very strange. It doesn't use a commercially available engine. I think it's an engine developed by that outsourcing company. We don't have unpacking tools, so we can only reverse engineer it, which is extremely difficult."

"I don't need to know any of this nonsense, just tell me how long it will take to unpack it?"

Seeing his employee covered in cold sweat, Ding Wenbo quickly chimed in, "We've calculated it. If we do nothing and focus entirely on reverse engineering, it will take six months."

"Six months! Do you know how much revenue Arad's Wrath has? Nearly 400 million a month, and that's even after it was announced that it was a plagiarized game."

"Without your evidence, we'd likely only get a fine, maybe a hundred million at most."

"How's the engine from that small outsourcing company?"

The employee, sweating profusely, hurriedly explained, "It's alright, but it has unique insights into optimization. It should just be a regular engine."

"Then I'll ask him for the unpacking tools. If he refuses, I'll threaten him. In short, I want to see results in half a month."

Ma Xiaotie is really panicking now. He could have directly filed a lawsuit to apply for an injunction. Although he would have to take the blame, it would have been a minor matter, and the GG department would have taken the fall for him.

Now, because of his greed, he wants to perfectly resolve the issue with the other party and incidentally make an example of them. He hasn't filed a lawsuit immediately. If he can't get all of the other party's illegal gains, he'll be the one to take the blame.

The sunk costs he's in are forcing him to postpone the lawsuit. Ma Xiaotie is getting more and more agitated. He's worried that the small company won't appreciate his efforts and won't give him the tools to unpack the files. He's also worried that without a perfect chain of evidence, the plagiarizing company will get away with it.

"Go, contact more media outlets for me. Starting tomorrow, not tonight, I want people on all channels to be paying attention to this plagiarism."

"Also, go buy me a cell phone, and hurry!"

The secretary's world has collapsed!

I hope they won't block my reimbursement again this time.

"Boss, have you heard?"

"Arad's Wrath is a pirated mobile game that plagiarizes Dungeon Fighter Online. Tencent is planning to sue them. The matter has caused quite a stir, and many media outlets have reported on it. Do you think they might shut down the game? You've already spent 50,000 yuan. What will happen if the game is shut down?"

The third brother looked at the eldest brother, Zhao Ming, with a complicated expression. To be honest, he quite liked the game. It was really fun, and the rich players in the game were very generous. But now he felt a little sorry for his eldest brother, after all, it was a real 5 yuan. Zhao Ming hadn't even spent that much money playing Dungeon Fighter Online.

Zhao Ming was also a bit confused. He had spent money and invested emotionally in the game, but now they were saying that the game was going to be shut down.

All I can say is that XunTeng is a complete idiot. A pirated game has already gotten into your house, and now you know to sue? Where were you before?

"There's nothing I can do. I knew XunTeng couldn't make a game this good. I've already spent all my money, so I'll just keep playing until the servers shut down. It's not like the game isn't fun."

The second brother chimed in, "I thought XunTeng had been working on this for three years, but it turns out the official mobile version of Dungeon Fighter Online still hasn't come out. How much longer do they plan to develop it? What if it turns out to be worse than Arad's Wrath? That mobile game is even better than the PC version. I think it'll be difficult for it to surpass Arad."

"This game developer is a scoundrel. Why couldn't they have made a similar game? Instead, they had to plagiarize. They even tried to steal our base after we lost. Now we're really doomed. These two companies are birds of a feather, neither of them is any good. Fourth brother, find out what this scoundrel's company is called."

After a moment, the fourth brother stared at the production company on the computer screen and remained silent.

Everyone was curious about the silent fourth brother, so they got out of bed and gathered around him...

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

No wonder it's a two-armed company, what a thunderous name—Niu Tou Ren Network Technology Co., Ltd.

This was definitely intentional; neither company is any good!
