Witnessing History

The price offered by Guangguang alone had already left her numb.

Five hundred million!!!

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

Let alone the offers from Penguin and Bali.

Not just her—even Zhao Jing, Liu Qiang, and Zhou Wei had set down their work.

Their gazes unconsciously drifted over.

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

Would he sell? He had to, right? With that much money.

But if Huangtu got sold off, where would we go?

Huang Shanshan's eyes grew a little dazed, and she couldn't help biting her lip, her heart feeling hollow.

Yet Wang Chuan gave her an answer she never expected.

"If any more news like this comes up, then turn it down!!!"

Wang Chuan didn't care at all, as if they'd offered him five bucks.

And that decisiveness made Wang Chuan stand out in Huang Shanshan's eyes.

What a man who treats money like dirt!!!

"Oh~~"

Huang Shanshan lowered her head, feeling her heart flutter like a deer crashing about. She softly replied, then turned and hurried off.

If you looked closely, you could see a faint blush spreading across her fair face.

"Weird~~"

Wang Chuan frowned a little at Huang Shanshan's retreating figure, muttering to himself.

He felt like she'd been acting strange!!

As for those big companies' acquisition ideas, he wasn't the least bit fazed.

Five hundred million? Even five billion, fifty billion, five hundred billion—cough, maybe then he'd be tempted.

But that was impossible; they couldn't cough up five hundred billion anyway.

Besides, these game companies weren't running charities. If they could spend five hundred million to buy Huangtu Game Company, then they clearly had uses far exceeding that amount.

But so far, what did Huangtu Game Company have???

The Stanley Parable and Soul Knight.

And then???

Nothing!

So the goal of these game companies was obvious—they were after him!!!

Since they were throwing that much money, they'd definitely set terms, making Wang Chuan work for the company for a set number of years.

Earn a certain amount of money.

Otherwise, they'd never let him leave.

This was essentially a roundabout way of hiring him—he'd work at Huangtu Game Company, which would become a subsidiary of another company.

But if his goal was to join another game company, why bother starting Huangtu in the first place???

So it was set in stone—he couldn't agree.

"Still, channel partnerships and stuff—that's worth considering."

"Especially since Huangtu now isn't the same as before~~~"

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

Whether Soul Knight should go on other game platforms didn't matter much to Wang Chuan.

Because Soul Knight had already shown terrifying results and earned its autonomy.

It was different from the needs it had at the start.

If the channels could agree to his terms, then adding another channel would be great.

After all, landing on a channel would mean more revenue for him.

Like Coca-Cola back in his past life—it was already a globally famous beverage brand.

But why did it still spend billions on ads every year???

Because promotion and publicity, boosting brand awareness, were the keys to revenue!!!

And the same went for games—more exposure and higher visibility could elevate a game's quality by a whole level.

Of course, compared to that, Wang Chuan valued control over the game more.

If going through a channel meant being threatened by others, then that channel was better off avoided!

As long as the official game platform could still bring him massive traffic and players, then Huangtu Game Company didn't need to fear threats from other channels.

Online, "Soul Knight" had already exploded in popularity—there was no need to question that.

Because, by the second week of the game's launch, "Soul Knight" had left "The Parable of Illidan" in the dust.

Downloads officially broke through ten million!

While this didn't mean the game had ten million players, that ten million downloads, to some extent, proved the game's success!

Moreover, the impact "Soul Knight" brought to everyone was far greater than that of "The Stanley Parable."

"The Stanley Parable" was undoubtedly a very high-quality game.

So far, it had around nine million downloads, with a rating as high as 9.6.

Just the cheap five-yuan buy-in price had already brought Wang Chuan millions in revenue.

It even sparked the popularity of meta games.

In a way, "The Stanley Parable" was excellent enough.

But in reality, the surprise "The Stanley Parable" gave the industry wasn't as huge as imagined.

Because it was just a cheap buy-in, the shock it brought was more of an artistic one.

In terms of revenue, it wasn't all that terrifying.

But "Soul Knight" was different.

From the very start of its launch, it was left far behind by "The Parable of Illidan," not even a shadow in sight.

Then the situation suddenly reversed—downloads and paying users kept climbing.

After a single day, it directly knocked "The Parable of Illidan" off the top spot and took the throne itself.

Excellent word-of-mouth among players, the top spot on the new game charts, plus its unique randomized gameplay—

the shock this brought to the industry was beyond words.

People in the gaming circle all had a feeling!!!

This time, "Soul Knight" was very likely to become, like "The Stanley Parable" before it, a new trending topic online.

And one that was even more sought after by everyone!!!

Especially as "Soul Knight" continued to surge in popularity online, many media outlets and producers felt a certain sensation.

They seemed to be about to witness history!!!

An unconventional shooter, "Soul Knight" brought a unique experience.

What is a truly good game? The top new game, "Soul Knight," will tell you.

A game with daily revenue reaching millions: "Soul Knight"!

The father of meta games, after creating the meta game, once again created a game of a completely different style!!

From "The Stanley Parable" to "Soul Knight," let's step into Wang Chuan's inner world.

Can you believe it? One of the Three Factories, Penguin, actually lost to a small company??

Online, the popularity of "Soul Knight" kept climbing.

And more media outlets began reporting on "Soul Knight."
