Just the price offered by Huyu Interactive had already left her somewhat numb.

Five hundred million yuan!!!

She couldn't even imagine what five hundred million yuan looked like.

Not to mention the prices offered by Penguin and Bali.

It wasn't just her. Zhao Jing, Liu Qiang, Zhou Wei, and the others had all put down their work.

Their eyes drifted over here despite themselves.

Clearly, they were also waiting for Wang Chuan's answer.

Would he sell? He definitely would, right? That was so much money.

But if Huangtu was sold, where would they go?

Huang Shanshan's eyes were a little lost. She couldn't help biting her lip, her heart feeling empty.

Yet Wang Chuan gave her an answer she had never expected.

"If there are any more offers like this, reject them!!!"

Wang Chuan didn't care in the slightest, as if they had offered five yuan instead.

That decisiveness made Wang Chuan seem different in Huang Shanshan's eyes.

What an extraordinary man who treated money like dirt!!!

"Oh~~"

Huang Shanshan lowered her head, feeling her heart race like a startled deer. After softly acknowledging him, she turned and hurried away.

If one looked closely, one could see a flush spreading across her fair face.

"Strange~~"

Wang Chuan watched Huang Shanshan's retreating back in confusion and muttered to himself.

He had the distinct feeling that Huang Shanshan had become strange!!

He wasn't affected at all by the acquisition intentions of those major companies.

Never mind five hundred million—even five billion, fifty billion, or five hundred billion... cough cough, that might have tempted him.

But that was impossible. They couldn't come up with five hundred billion anyway.

Besides, these game companies weren't charities. If they were willing to spend five hundred million to acquire Huangtu Game Company,

then they naturally had a use for it worth far more than five hundred million.

But as of now, what did Huangtu Game Company even have???

The Stanley Parable and Soul Knight.

And then???

Nothing!

So the purpose of these game companies was obvious: they were after him!!!

Since they were spending so much money, they would definitely impose conditions requiring Wang Chuan to work at the company for a certain number of years.

And earn a certain amount of money.

Otherwise, they would never let Wang Chuan leave.

This was essentially another form of employment, because he worked at Huangtu Game Company, and the company would become a subsidiary of another company.

But if his goal had been to join another game company,

then why would he have started Huangtu Game Company in the first place???

So he was destined to refuse.

"Still, channel partnerships are something we can consider."

"Especially since Huangtu isn't the Huangtu it used to be~~~"

Wang Chuan rested his chin on his hand, suddenly thought of something, and called Zhao Jing over.

Wang Chuan didn't particularly care whether Soul Knight would be released on other gaming platforms.

Because Soul Knight had already shown terrifying results and gained the initiative.

Its needs were no longer what they had been before.

If the channels could agree to his terms, then having one more channel would be excellent.

After all, getting onto more channels would bring him more revenue.

It was like Coca-Cola in his previous life. It had already become a globally renowned beverage brand.

But why did it still spend billions of dollars on advertising every year???

Wasn't it because promotion, publicity, and raising brand awareness were the keys to revenue!!!

Games were the same. More publicity and greater recognition could raise a game's standing by an entire level.

Of course, compared to that, Wang Chuan valued control over his games even more.

If joining a channel meant being threatened by others, then he would rather not join that channel at all!!

As long as the official gaming platform could still bring him massive traffic and players,

Huangtu Game Company wouldn't need to be threatened by other channels.

Soul Knight had already completely exploded online. That was something no one needed to question.

Because, when the game was nearing its second week after release, Soul Knight had already left The Parable of Illidan so far behind that it was nowhere in sight.

Its downloads had officially surpassed ten million!!!

Although that didn't mean the game had ten million players, those ten million downloads still demonstrated the game's success to a certain degree!!

Moreover, the impact Soul Knight brought everyone far surpassed that of The Stanley Parable.

The Stanley Parable was undoubtedly a game of exceptionally high quality.

By now, it had around nine million downloads and a rating as high as 9.6.

Even its dirt-cheap five-yuan buyout price had brought Wang Chuan income in the millions.

It had even sparked the popularity of Meta Game.

It could be said that The Stanley Parable was excellent enough.

But in truth, The Stanley Parable hadn't surprised the industry as much as people had imagined.

Because it was merely a low-priced buyout game, and the shock it brought was primarily artistic.

Its revenue, on the other hand, wasn't particularly terrifying.

Soul Knight was different.

When it first launched, it had been left far behind by The Parable of Illidan, unable to even see its shadow.

Then the situation suddenly reversed, with downloads and paying users constantly rising.

After just one day, it directly knocked The Parable of Illidan off the top spot and took the position for itself.

Its excellent reputation among players, its place atop the new games chart, and its unique random gameplay

brought the industry a shock that was beyond words.

Everyone in the gaming circle had a feeling!!!

This Soul Knight would very likely be like The Stanley Parable before it.

It would become the internet's next big trend.

And one that would be even more sought after!!!

Especially as Soul Knight's momentum online continued to rise.

It gave many media outlets and developers a feeling.

They seemed to be about to witness history!!!

A different kind of shooting game: the unique experience brought by Soul Knight.

What is a truly good game? Soul Knight, number one on the new games chart, will tell you.

A game with daily revenue reaching one million: Soul Knight!

After creating Meta Game with The Stanley Parable, the father of Meta Game had created another game with an entirely different style!!

From The Stanley Parable to Soul Knight, let us enter Wang Chuan's inner world.

Would you believe that Penguin, one of the Three Factories, actually lost to a small company??

Online, Soul Knight's popularity continued to climb.

And more media outlets began reporting on Soul Knight.
