Favors

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he quietly looked at Fang Chang, who was sitting opposite him. Although he didn’t like Tiange Game Club, he had to go against his own wishes to pay a certain amount of promotion fees to Tiger Head Livestream in order to spend more system funds.

After all, the settlement was imminent, and if the personal funds could truly be fully converted, going against his own wishes didn't seem like a big deal.

“General Manager Chen, regarding the matter of expressing gratitude, I’ve already contacted them, and they said it’s not necessary.”

Fang Chang slowly spoke.

Upon learning that Tiger Head Livestream was helping to promote journey of subduing demons, he and Wei Yan had discussed showing their gratitude and had contacted Tiange Game Club to express their desire to thank them.

However, General Manager Du of Tiange Game Club directly rejected their gratitude, stating that it was just a minor favor and there was no need for thanks.

“They don’t need it; they’re just being polite. If you insist, they’ll accept it. As for the promotion fees, just give them 10 million.”

Chen Mo spoke indifferently; 10 million was already the maximum amount allowed by the system.

Ah!

Fang Chang’s mouth dropped open in shock after hearing the amount General Manager Chen mentioned.

He hadn't expected General Manager Chen to be so generous, directly offering 10 million in promotion fees for a livestream platform’s promotion.

However, this was probably the reason for General Manager Chen’s success; he was not only generous to his employees but also to his partners.

Then, calming down, he looked at General Manager Chen and cautiously said,

“But General Manager Chen, what if General Manager Du of Tiange insists on refusing to accept the gratitude?”

Last time,

when they wanted to express their gratitude, General Manager Du’s refusal was very firm. He was worried that this time, the other party would still firmly refuse.

“That’s simple. If he firmly refuses to accept the gratitude, then we’ll cut off cooperation with them.”

Chen Mo spoke indifferently; this gratitude had to be accepted, whether they wanted to or not.

If they really refused, it would be a good opportunity to break off the cooperative relationship.

“General Manager Chen, won’t that be too forceful?”

Fang Chang asked with some concern.

“It’s not forceful. Go back and handle it as soon as possible.”

Chen Mo looked at the worried Fang Chang and said nonchalantly.

If he wasn’t a bit forceful, his settlement would be in danger!

“Alright, General Manager Chen, I’ll go handle it now.”

Seeing this, Fang Chang didn't dare to refute further and directly got up and left the office.

Entering the elevator,

he returned directly to Snowy Sky’s floor. After thinking for a moment, he turned and headed straight for Wei Yan’s office.

He still couldn't understand why General Manager Chen was so persistent about gratitude, even going so far as to threaten to break off cooperation for it.

This made him somewhat confused, always feeling that doing so would hurt the collaborative relationship between the two parties.

So, he prepared to ask Wei Yan what General Manager Chen’s true intention was in doing this.

Entering Wei Yan’s office, he briefly explained what had just happened.

Wei Yan listened to Fang Chang’s narration, stroked his chin, and pondered for a long time before his eyes lit up.

“I think I understand the reason.”

“What reason?”

Fang Chang looked at Wei Yan curiously.

Wei Yan smiled, with a hint of respect in his eyes.

“General Manager Chen doesn’t want to owe a favor!”

“A favor?”

Fang Chang was thoughtful.

“Exactly, a favor. You know what debt is the hardest to repay? It’s a favor. Although General Manager Du said that Tiger Head Livestream’s help in promoting Demon Subduing Record was just a casual favor and not to be taken to heart,”

“in reality, our Tomorrow Group owes General Manager Du a favor, and the cooperation between two companies is most afraid of having favors involved in between, which can lead to personal emotions being mixed into every cooperation.”

“Therefore, General Manager Chen is so determined to pay the promotion fees, precisely to repay that favor.”

Wei Yan patiently explained, with a confident gleam in his eyes, as if he had seen through everything.

“So that’s it. Then I’ll contact General Manager Du as soon as possible to pay the promotion fees.”

Fang Chang suddenly understood, then got up and left Wei Yan’s office.

Wei Yan watched Fang Chang leave, and not long after, Xu Yuan knocked and entered.

“General Manager Wei, these are the conceptual design drawings for several characters in Freedom Battlefield.”

Walking to the desk,

Xu Yuan handed over the documents in her hand.

Since the Freedom Battlefield project began, she had started designing the game characters for Freedom Battlefield. After all, this game was positioned as a 5v5 multiplayer competitive game.

In terms of game characters, many would certainly be needed.

It couldn't be like other online games, where a few traditional game characters like mages, warriors, swordsmen, etc., were enough.

To ensure the game's freedom, he envisioned that the initial number of characters for this game should ideally be around 20, at least allowing both opposing sides to have different Heroes to choose from.

Moreover, he had also considered the skills and characteristics of each Hero, designing some counter and anti-counter effects.

This way, when both sides selected Heroes, there would be some psychological interplay.

However, this counter effect shouldn't be too high; otherwise, if it was too strong, leading to the countered side being unable to play the game at all, it would severely affect game balance.

So, all these things needed to be balanced.

“Let me see.”

Wei Yan reached out and took the character concept design drawings handed over by Xu Yuan, carefully flipping through them.

Having joined Snowy Sky for over a year, through continuous learning during this period and taking over new game projects, his knowledge and understanding of games had reached a certain level.

Although it was impossible for him to be as professional as Fang Chang and Zhao Bowen, he still had some unique ideas regarding game concepts and perceptions.

Therefore, now that the project team was developing Freedom Battlefield, he would personally review it whenever there was certain progress.

Firstly, he could further improve his knowledge of games during this process.

Secondly, he could also express some of his own views or suggestions for the game. Of course, he would not force the other party to follow his requirements, but rather discuss with them whether his suggestions were feasible.

And whether implementing them would lead to a better improvement for the game.

He flipped through the character concept design drawings page by page.

Wei Yan frowned slightly, then relaxed.

The concept design drawings for these characters were already very complete.

The character's name, their role in the game, and the characteristics and functions of each skill were all written as comprehensively as possible. As long as the character was modeled according to this concept, the character design would basically be complete.

The entire character concept design drawing included six characters, each perfect and thorough, without any flaws.

But he always felt something was amiss.

He couldn't immediately pinpoint what was wrong, but he just felt like something was missing.
