Recruitment? Not Happening

After all, these games needed enough promotion and a sufficiently large user base before they could become popular.

If they were launched rashly, never mind whether players would accept this kind of gameplay.

Even if they accepted it by chance, there was a good chance he would simply be making a wedding dress for other companies.

After all, MOBA games were not difficult to develop at all.

Given the funding and resources game companies possessed, if Wang Chuan developed one rashly, the outcome was obvious.

Either he would join a major company and give up his dream of working independently.

Or he would be suppressed, copied, and overtaken by a similar game.

And because those companies had more abundant resources, their version would end up becoming even more popular than the original.

In the end, the companies would swallow up his market share as well.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just as Wang Chuan was carefully browsing the posts, a knock sounded at the door, drawing his attention.

Since the dormitory door was not closed, he saw the visitor at once.

She was a delicate-looking young woman, around twenty-five or twenty-six.

"Yuanyuan?"

Wang Chuan called out in surprise, completely confused.

This young woman was the counselor for Wang Chuan's class. Her name was Liu Yuanyuan, and she had been a student in the previous graduating class before choosing to stay at the school and take charge of their class.

Since they had basically already graduated, Liu Yuanyuan rarely bothered with them anymore.

He had not expected her to come looking for him today.

Was something wrong?

"Wang Chuan, not bad. I didn't expect you to become famous after just one day."

"The director asked me to notify you that you'll be giving a speech onstage at the graduation ceremony."

"Also, Penguin, Net Entertainment, and Bali are coming to the school to recruit. Take a look and see which one you want to go to."

After entering, Liu Yuanyuan teased Wang Chuan before explaining why she had come.

"Give a speech at the graduation ceremony? No problem."

Upon hearing this, Wang Chuan immediately agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Come on, being able to speak at the graduation ceremony was no small matter.

It represented the school's recognition of his achievements. They believed he had enough potential and even wanted to promote him within the school.

Moreover, while it looked like merely giving a speech, it was actually a hidden benefit.

Leaving aside everything else, the school's network of connections alone was immensely valuable.

Over the years, the school had taught an unknown number of students.

And regardless of what industries those students entered, as long as they achieved something, they became part of the school's network.

If he ran into financial difficulties later and wanted to get a bank loan.

With the school's connections, both the procedures and loan amount would be far more flexible.

That was why he agreed without hesitation. There were only benefits to this matter, no drawbacks.

As for Penguin, Net Entertainment, and Bali coming to recruit at the school, he did not pay much attention to it.

Ever since he became famous, the Pangu Editor Backend had received quite a few recruitment messages from companies.

Given the incredible performance of "The Stanley Parable," it was not strange that it had attracted giants like Penguin, Net Entertainment, and Bali.

Seeing Wang Chuan agree so decisively, Liu Yuanyuan was delighted as well.

Afterward, she gave him some more instructions regarding the general direction of his speech and related matters.

After all, speeches at graduation ceremonies came with strict requirements.

"By the way, Penguin, Net Entertainment, and Bali want your contact information. What are you planning to do?"

Liu Yuanyuan could tell that Wang Chuan was not very interested in the Three Factories, but she still had to ask.

After all, the Three Factories had a good relationship with the school. This was also part of the school's task.

"Oh, that's fine. Just give it to them."

Wang Chuan did not care much about it. It was only contact information.

It would not harm him anyway.

Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring!

Not long after Liu Yuanyuan left, a stream of messages came through the Backend.

Wang Chuan had assumed they were messages from companies, but when he checked, they were actually from Xiao Ming.

"Wang Chuan, you're amazing now."

"I heard the director even personally picked you to give a speech."

"Damn, that's a first in history. If I'd known, I would've made games with you too."

"By the way, if I start making games now, is it still not too late?"

Damn! Where did this guy get his information? How was he so fast???

Seeing Xiao Ming's messages, Wang Chuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

After hesitating for a moment, he still did not reply.

It was not the first time anyway~~~

Before Wang Chuan could even catch his breath, his phone rang.

Hmm, an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, is this junior Wang Chuan? I'm your senior from the previous class. I'm working in Penguin's game department now."

The moment he answered, the other party introduced himself.

However, unlike what Wang Chuan had expected, the caller was not a recruiter but one of his seniors.

"Oh, sorry, Senior. I want to take advantage of being young and give things a try, so I can only apologize."

Since it was a recruitment offer from a senior, Wang Chuan turned it down tactfully.

"It's fine, it's fine. If you want to come in the future, just contact me. Lastly, I wish your future career smooth sailing, Junior~~"

The senior was not angry at Wang Chuan's rejection. Instead, he cheerfully offered his blessings.

As the saying went, even if a deal did not go through, goodwill remained.

It was only a recruitment offer. There was nothing wrong with refusing it.

But that call seemed to be only the beginning. The next calls came from Net Entertainment and Bali.

Like Penguin, they were all trying to recruit Wang Chuan.

The only difference was the treatment they offered.

His response to all these calls was the same: listen carefully, then decline politely.

Unlike Penguin's straightforward approach, Net Entertainment and Bali also wanted to invest in Wang Chuan's future games.

So-called angel investment sounded wonderful.

But it was like a double-edged sword.

Simply put, would they really be so kind as to hand you their money?

Impossible. Money was not that easy to take.

Naturally, Wang Chuan rejected that suggestion as well.

He already had a rough plan for his future development, so there was no need to accept investment.

He planned to start with independent games, which had the lowest costs, then move on to the Mobile version, which had relatively lower requirements.

Games in both areas would not be too large in scope, making them suitable for a beginner like him.

If he entered the high-budget market directly, his capital would not be enough to support it.

It was like ancient warfare: your money, provisions, preparations, and troops were all inferior to the enemy's, while all you had was strategy.

How could you possibly defeat them?

Winning with fewer troops against more required the right time, place, and people. Otherwise, it was just a joke.

No one else knew about Wang Chuan's goals.

So all they knew was that Wang Chuan had rejected the Three Factories.

Xiao Ming in particular immediately bombarded him with messages.
