Chapter 78: The Candidate for Story Designer
Chen Mo updated another entry on the "Azeroth Universe."
"Moonglade: This is one of the most extraordinary places on the entire continent of Kalimdor. The forest has not been corrupted by demons and retains its original purity and tranquility. Unlike anywhere else in Kalimdor, Moonglade is a land of peace. Those who harm the forest or stir up conflict will be expelled by the druids. Therefore, Moonglade is often chosen by the Alliance and the Horde as a neutral meeting ground, and the tauren also come here to seek guidance on the druidic path from their elven counterparts."
Not long after the entry was updated, many people left comments.
"Damn, a once-in-a-lifetime event—Chen Mo actually updated an entry!"
"I forgot to say it last time, but first!"
"Every time you just brush us off with a few dozen words. Why don't you go learn from those web novel writers who churn out ten thousand words a day!"
"It's totally not enough to satisfy me, ahhh!"
"Tell me, did you get lazy after making enough money and stop updating?"
"When are you going to actually make Azeroth a reality! Don't fob us off with card games like 'I'm MT' anymore!"
"I want to send you a razor blade. Anyone else in?"
"Upstairs +1!"
"+2!"
Chen Mo smiled faintly, closed the interface, and hid his achievements without a trace.
As usual, he opened "Azeroth National Geographic" to check for new posts.
"Hmm? A new fan work? Pretty popular."
Chen Mo noticed a post that had been put up recently and had already been pinned to the top. It was a fan-made novel titled "The Wandering Warlock." The author was "The Lonely Traveler."
Chen Mo clicked in and took a look.
The story was about a warlock who accidentally traveled to the world of Azeroth. He wasn't very powerful, but he was clever and resourceful, always finding ways to turn danger into safety. The writing style was light and humorous, and the plot was quite interesting.
Chen Mo scrolled down and saw that the author had already written over a hundred thousand words, with updates coming almost every day. The readers in the comments were all urging for more.
"Not bad." Chen Mo nodded to himself. This author's writing style and world-building were pretty solid. If he could recruit this person to be the story designer for the game company, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Chen Mo sent a private message to "The Lonely Traveler."
"Hello, I'm Chen Mo. I'm very interested in your work. Would you like to discuss some collaboration opportunities?"
He didn't expect a reply to come quickly.
"Wow! Is it really the real Chen Mo? I'm your fan! I've been following all your games!"
Chen Mo smiled. "It's me. I think your writing is great. Are you interested in joining my game company as a story designer?"
"Really? Of course I'm interested! But... I'm still a student, and I'm not sure if I have the ability."
"It's okay. You can come to my experience store for an interview first, and we'll talk about the details then."
"Okay, okay! When is it convenient for you?"
"Tomorrow morning, how about that?"
"No problem! I'll be there on time!"
After ending the chat, Chen Mo felt in a good mood. Finding a suitable story designer was not easy. This "The Lonely Traveler" seemed to have potential and could be cultivated.
Just then, his phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, is this Mr. Chen Mo?" A crisp female voice came from the other end.
"I am. Who is this?"
"Hello, I'm Han Lu, a reporter from the 'Game Weekly.' I'd like to do an exclusive interview with you. Is that convenient?"
Chen Mo was a bit surprised. An interview? He hadn't expected to attract the attention of the media so soon.
"An interview? About what?"
"Mainly about your game creation philosophy and future plans. We've noticed that your games are very unique and have a large fan base. We'd like to do a feature story on you."
Chen Mo thought for a moment. Having media coverage could help promote his games, so there was no harm in agreeing.
"Alright, when do you want to do it?"
"How about tomorrow morning? Do you have time? I plan to come directly to your experience store."
Chen Mo said, "I have time."
Han Lu said, "Great, then let's tentatively set it for tomorrow morning. See you there."
After hanging up, Chen Mo was a bit dazed.
What, an exclusive interview? Was he already that big of a deal now?
