Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

Even at a time like this, he still acts like this. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was Zhou Tiankuo who had wronged him!

However, Zhou Tiankuo could tell their attitude from their feigned death earlier, and he felt that he had already endured to this extent, so there was no need for him to break down now.

He took out his phone and called Chen Bin.

"What do you want?" Chen Bin blurted out.

Zhou Tiankuo almost laughed in anger: "What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do I want'? You don't think you're in the right, do you?"

"Of course I'm in the right, I didn't copy your game."

Although Chen Bin knew it was wrong to lie, he was just being stubborn.

Who knows if Zhou Tiankuo recorded it? If I admit to plagiarism now, no matter how much public relations the company does to clear its name, it will be useless!

Zhou Tiankuo said, "OK, then just say you didn't plagiarize."

"Heh, I didn't plagiarize, and I think my game is better than yours." Chen Bin was still smug, even making arrogant remarks, "Even if you want me to bet against you, I can agree. I have that confidence."

He got to where he is today because of his self-confidence!

Moreover, my intuition has never been wrong.

Zhou Tiankuo originally wanted to curse loudly and then leave everything to the players to decide.

But after thinking about it...

A bet? It doesn't seem like he'd lose anything.

"You want to bet with me? I'm thinking the same thing. What are you planning to bet with me on?" Zhou Tiankuo could tell that Chen Bin was an arrogant person and wanted to provoke him on purpose.

As expected, Chen Bin replied, "I'll bet on anything, I can beat you."

“Then how about we bet on the first month’s revenue of the next game?” Zhou Tiankuo said.

First month?

Chen Bin laughed loudly: "Are you sure?"

The game I made, "Let's Catch Monsters," is a mobile game.

The game that Zhou Tiankuo is about to release is a PC game.

As we all know, mobile games are far more profitable than PC games.

Even within Tiankuo Studio's games, the revenue streams for mobile and PC versions differ significantly!

Chapter 145 So be it, are you sure you want to bet?

The more Chen Bin thought about it, the more he felt that Zhou Tiankuo had simply gone mad.

That wasn't all. Zhou Tiankuo's deep voice rang out again: "Now let's talk about the specifics of the bet."

Chen Bin replied nonchalantly, "What do you want? Or rather, what can you give me?"

He believed he was certain to win this bet and had nothing to worry about.

Zhou Tiankuo thought about it.

At present, my understanding of money-related aspects of gambling with DouDou is still too superficial.

Judging from the market's reaction and the behavior of Chen Bin in our conversation, DouDou Interactive Entertainment and its backer, Dynasty Entertainment, are indeed not short of money.

In fact, they initially tried to bribe Zhou Tiankuo with money to settle the matter peacefully.

They can throw money at people at will.

The games they copied before were all done in the same way.

It's similar to a large company like Tencent.

However, Dynasty Entertainment controls more channels, making it more difficult for them than Tencent.

Back then, when that studio from Tencent plagiarized the game, Zhou Tiankuo simply posted a message, and with official confirmation, the game was never released again.

He didn't know whether he was later resurrected through Edo Tensei.

But even if it were to be re-released, it would definitely be under the name of some small workshop, and it wouldn't dare to use the name of Tencent again.

Therefore, for Zhou Tiankuo, he needed to choose a bet that would maximize his own interests.

Instead of falling into the trap set by the other party from the very beginning.

To maximize one's own interests, one should aim to increase the reputation of one's game and the entire studio.

Furthermore, let everyone know that DouDou Interactive Entertainment is plagiarizing, and that Wangchao Entertainment is an accomplice.

So Zhou Tiankuo said, "If I win this time, I demand that you publicly publish a statement and apology for plagiarism on your personal Weibo account and on the official Weibo account of DouDou Interactive Entertainment."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bin couldn't help but shout, "You're shameless! How dare you? I already said I didn't plagiarize!"

"Whether it's plagiarism or not, you know it in your heart. I'm not here to argue about this with you today."

Zhou Tiankuo was getting impatient.

Chen Bin remained silent, silently calculating in his mind.

He still didn't believe Zhou Tiankuo would win this bet, but he hesitated to accept it.

"That's not all. One apology isn't enough. I want you to post them for seven days straight."

Zhou Tiankuo's voice grew increasingly cold.

"Moreover, all the traffic that DouDou Interactive Entertainment and Dynasty Entertainment originally used to promote your game has been given to my game."

Zhou Tiankuo felt that the bet was about time.

Chen Bin was shocked: "You're so arrogant. Haven't you thought about what you'd do if you lost?"

Zhou Tiankuo calmly asked, "Tell me, what should I do?"

Chen Bin smiled sinisterly and said to Zhou Tiankuo in a calm tone, "How about this, I won't make things difficult for you. I can agree to your requests. In return, these bets will also apply to you."

That's it?

Zhou Tiankuo naturally agreed.

He was very confident in his game. Moreover, he had specifically accumulated a lot of system items during the recent lottery draw.

This time, he was determined to challenge these monopolistic channels!

If even this situation couldn't make these people bow down.

So it can only be said that the game environment in this world is not as good as he imagined!

Zhou Tiankuo's quick agreement made Chen Bin doubt his own abilities.

Should I not have gambled with him?

“You…” Chen Bin hesitated for a moment.

But I've already said all that, so if I go back on my word, wouldn't it make me look guilty?

He thought about it again.

Looking at the whole situation, Zhou Tiankuo had no chance of winning at all; he was just intimidated by Zhou Tiankuo's imposing manner.

Out of a sense of superiority and pity, Chen Bin specifically asked, "Are you really going to gamble with me?"

Zhou Tiankuo's answer was also very straightforward and firm: "Yes, what's wrong, are you scared?"

Chen Bin burst into laughter.

"What do I have to be afraid of? I'm sure I'll win this game."

It seems impossible for Zhou Tiankuo to surpass himself.

"I'm just kindly reminding you that it's not too late to stop now. As long as you delete all these posts and stop mentioning the money attack, I can let you off the hook."

"I can even give you some money as compensation for the mental distress caused by your careful efforts to catch plagiarism."

That statement is sarcastic.

Zhou Tiankuo hung up the phone immediately.

He feared that his good character and manners would be ruined.

Chen Bin is a shameless person, and there's no point in reasoning with someone like that.

After the call was disconnected, Chen Bin paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He was not unaware of Tiankuo Studio's operating style.

The reason he chose to copy Pokémon GO this time was because he discovered that Zhou Tiankuo only knew how to make games.

Although the game they created was exquisite, they didn't put much effort into its promotion.

For example, a new game like Dungeon Fighter Online.

Zhou Tiankuo's consistent approach is to create a trailer for a game when it's about to be released, then release it through the official account, or perhaps hold a live stream to generate buzz.

That's all!

The game's popularity will only gradually increase until its official release.

Unless a game has something particularly appealing after its release, or experiences a fateful turn of events, the first few days after its release are usually the peak of its popularity.

After that, they will gradually decline.

Therefore, the early promotion and marketing of a game becomes extremely important.

Chen Bin is confident in his game because DouDou Interactive Entertainment is affiliated with Dynasty Entertainment, and every time a new game is released, it will be fully promoted through various channels.

Carpet bombing goes without saying.

Every game-related forum website also buys advertising space.

Moreover, they used methods that players didn't find offensive, subtly advertising their products.

Promotional videos, slogans, and so on are all produced without exception; several trailers alone are made.

“My family is big and powerful, what do you have to compete with me with…” Chen Bin shook his head.

I suddenly saw an update on Tiankuo Studio's Weibo account.

Zhou Tiankuo wrote up a detailed announcement about the bet they had just made over the phone and posted it online.
