Although Angelica was surprised by the call from Steam, Su Ping had told her about the situation beforehand.

Su Ping expected major game development companies like Steam to try to find him through Angelica.

That was why he had already told Angelica how to deal with them.

Angelica adjusted her state of mind and replied indifferently.

“Mr. Director, I’ve recently been very busy with my live stream work. I may not have time to talk with you for the time being. I’m very sorry.”

After being refused, Steam’s director continued.

“Wait for a minute. I’ll tell you why I’m reaching out to you first.”

“Steam believes that Zombie Apocalypse and its following seasons will have a bright future. We are also interested in the game producer.”

“These are the thoughts of our company’s president. We hope to find the producer with our greatest sincerity. We are looking forward to inviting him to cooperate with Steam!”

“I know that you know the producer. Please pass my words to him.”

“Steam can promise that if he is willing to cooperate with us, our platform will invest as many resources as possible to support his following games in the future.”

“Moreover, if he’s willing to join Steam, he will be promoted right away to the position of head of the platform’s technical department! He’ll also receive the company’s full support in the future!”

Angelica’s heart shuddered as she listened to the director’s words.

Steam seemed to put a lot of effort into winning Su Ping at all costs.

“Alright, I’ll pass your words to the producer.”

“However, I’d like to give you heads-up. The producer doesn’t intend to join any game company at the moment, so the final result may be different from what you wish.”

Steam’s director seemed calm about it, which showed his strength as a senior executive.

Then, the director hung up the phone after having a small talk with Angelica.

Besides Steam, Angelica also received phone calls from Storm Gaming Company and other famous game development companies worldwide.

The companies basically had the same intentions as Steam’s director.

They hoped that Angelica would help them get in touch with Su Ping to get a chance to cooperate with him.

In the end, their requests were naturally rejected by Angelica, or she ended the call with delaying tactics.

Su Ping wanted her to show such an attitude.

Su Ping had told Angelica that he didn’t want to cooperate with any game development company. He wanted to be an independent game producer.

Once he joined one of the major game development companies, it would be difficult for him to maintain his ambitions of creating high-quality games, even if the senior executives supported him with vast resources and paid attention to his work.

It would likely be that he would gradually become the type of person he hated!

“Su Ping, are you really going to turn down all the invitations from the major game development companies? That’s such a pity!”

“If you join Steam or Storm Gaming Company, your game can easily achieve better results with their resources!”

“Moreover, the salary and benefits must be extraordinary! Are you willing to give up on it?”

In the evening, Angelica told Su Ping everything that had happened during the day on the phone. She felt that it was a pity.

To be honest, Angelica believed that she would have agreed to it without hesitation if she were in Su Ping’s position.

Su Ping smiled after hearing her words.

“Haha! Of course, it’s a pity.”

“However, my dream is to make more good games. Do you think that I can still produce games without being affected by money after joining these companies?”

“Can the games still be exquisite and have such high quality?”

Angelica was silent.

Su Ping continued.

“So, I believe that making a good game is more important than making more money. Thank you for helping me reply to those people today. Thank you for your hard work.”

After hearing Su Ping’s words, Angelica felt she had rediscovered him.

She admired Su Ping from the bottom of her heart!

In this era, just a few game producers weren’t tempted by money.

In the meantime, Zombie Apocalypse’s popularity led to numerous comments from people interested in the identity of the game’s producer.

Netizens also began to voice their requests on the internet, hoping that the producer could let people know his identity to let them pay their respect to him.

There were also many netizens concerned about the following seasons of the game.

[After two days of hard work, I’ve finally cleared Zombie Apocalypse I. I’m looking forward to playing in the following seasons. When will Zombie Apocalypse II be released?]

[Who’s the game producer, and which game development company does he work for? I really want to see how he looks!]

[Do the Zombie Apocalypse series going to keep being a free game? I’m curious how the game producer plans to recoup his production costs!]

While facing all kinds of comments on the internet, Su Ping decided to take the initiative to get in touch with the netizens without exposing his personal information.

He wanted to answer the players’ questions to let them rest assured.

After discussing with Angelica, Su Ping obtained her permission to get in touch with the netizens through her live stream room.

Su Ping would directly answer the players’ questions through the live stream and strive to increase the worldwide players’ confidence in the following Zombie Apocalypse series.

Although Su Ping believed that his game was high-quality and that no one could resist playing it, he still had to promote it.

Su Ping also posted the announcement through Angelica’s forum account.

Due to the popularity of Zombie Apocalypse, Angelica’s forum account, which initially only had a million fans, now has more than ten million!

She became one of the most popular streamers in the gaming live-stream industry.

Moreover, everyone knew that Angelica had the closest relationship with the producer. Many people would visit Angelica’s account almost every day to see if there were any new posts.

As a result, when the most recent announcement was made, word spread worldwide that the producer of Zombie Apocalypse would be meeting the players in the live stream room.

It caused a huge sensation worldwide, and even many people who didn’t play games were attracted by it. They began to pay attention to the Zombie Apocalypse, which appeared out of nowhere.

It was hard to imagine how popular the live stream would be!
