96: Section 96

However, after a moment of thought, he still closed his mouth.

Any explanation from a loser is just an excuse.

At this moment,

Ma continued,

"Oh, by the way."

"How is the legal team doing?"

"It’s been three days; they should have most of the data organized by now."

"As soon as the comparative evidence is ready, we’ll be able to directly bring down Honor of Kings."

"I can’t wait to see Wang Mo’s expression after he fails."

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Just as Ma finished speaking,

the legal team he hired slowly pushed open the office door.

Chapter 77: No Plagiarism Detected, Penguin Group Shocked!

Seeing the elite legal team suddenly appear in the office,

Ma’s face instantly showed a great deal of surprise.

"Have you finished organizing Honor of Kings’ data?"

Ma asked directly.

After Honor of Kings’ open beta, to avoid disturbing the legal team’s evidence collection,

he had not allowed anyone to monitor the legal team’s progress.

He even specifically reserved a large space for the lawyers in the Penguin Group building.

The purpose

was to quickly find evidence of Honor of Kings plagiarizing Dota Mobile.

At this time, besides Ma,

Ma Liuyun and others beside him also looked quite excited.

The appearance of the legal team could only mean one thing:

they had completed the comparison of the two games.

Listening to Ma’s voice, the lawyers exchanged glances.

Finally, Zhang Liu, the leader of the legal team, nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for? Sue Honor of Kings directly!"

"I’m leaving this to you. I want Junzi Group to receive our court summons tomorrow."

"Our Penguin Group will handle the court side of things; we’ll try to expedite the trial date."

Ma was quite excited, speaking several sentences in a row.

However, facing Ma’s state, Lawyer Zhang quickly interrupted him.

"Mr. Ma,"

"Don’t be too quick to celebrate."

"This matter is not as simple as you think."

Hearing this, Ma instantly calmed down.

"What do you mean?"

"Did something go wrong with the process? You haven’t finished comparing the two games?"

The other Penguin Group executives around him also looked over.

After taking a deep breath, Lawyer Zhang said slowly with a serious expression,

"We have indeed completed the comparison of various data for the two games."

"Over the past three days, we recorded all of Honor of Kings’ hero skills and various equipment properties, and compared them with Dota Mobile."

"However, the results we obtained presented a problem."

"What problem?" Ma asked urgently.

"The similarity between Honor of Kings and dota mobile game is probably not very high."

Hearing this,

Ma was stunned.

He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected the other party to say that.

"How low is 'not very high'? Is it possible it didn't even reach the 80% that our Penguin Group internally estimated?"

"But didn't you say that as long as there was 60% similarity, you could sue Honor of Kings?"

After Ma finished speaking,

the faces of the legal team members became even more unpleasant.

Seeing this scene,

Ma’s heart sank.

He quickly spoke.

"Could it be less than 60%?"

"Even lower," someone from the legal team said.

Hearing this, the expressions of the Penguin Group executives present changed.

In their opinion, Honor of Kings must have plagiarized Dota; otherwise, it would have been impossible to develop Honor of Kings in just over three months.

But now, how could it be that there wasn't even 60% similarity?

"Not even 60%?"

"Could it be only 50%?"

Ma’s voice couldn’t help but rise a few decibels.

At this moment, Lawyer Zhang’s voice directly made Ma and the others’ expressions change drastically.

"Five percent."

"The similarity between Honor of Kings and Dota Mobile in terms of heroes and equipment..."

"Is only five percent!"

Hearing this, everyone present was incredulous and full of surprise.

They had thought that the 50% estimate was already very low.

But no one had expected

that the number would actually be only five percent!

Regarding this result, almost all the Penguin Group executives present could not believe it.

"Impossible, impossible. You must have made a mistake."

"Are you saying that the Honor of Kings team created sixty or seventy completely different new heroes from Dota heroes in just over three months?"

"You’ve been at Penguin Group for a few days; you should know very well that it takes at least three months for Dota to create a new hero."

"How could this Honor of Kings release so many new heroes in just over three months!"

Ma Liuyun’s voice couldn’t help but echo in the room.

At this time, besides him,

almost everyone present shared this thought.

The unique heroes with completely different skills in Honor of Kings were all crafted one by one by Wang Mo through his memories from his previous life.

After all, in his previous life,

he was also a loyal player of Honor of Kings.

Replicating the skills of each hero was not difficult for him.

What was difficult was making specific adjustments to these values to keep them balanced, which was also why Wang Mo sought out Zhou Qiang.

Of course,

originally, some heroes in Honor of Kings in his previous life did have skills similar to those in Dota.

Therefore, when developing Honor of Kings in this world, Wang Mo did not release these heroes immediately.
