Have you ever made games? Then you should write about games!

Saturday, 7:00 AM.

Even without an alarm clock, Chen Dong wakes up from his sleep on time.

The first thing I do when I get up is still to publish the chapters I've already written.

However, Chen Dong was stunned when he saw the number of favorites and follower counts.

"Where...where did all these readers come from?"

Chen Dong's novel is only about 40,000 to 50,000 words long, and it hasn't been in the library for long. He is also not an established author with a fan base.

Logically speaking, novels shouldn't have such an exaggerated increase in data.

Yesterday's data showed only a little over a hundred favorites and less than ten reads.

Today, the novel has over a thousand followers and more than three hundred readers, with a follower-to-read ratio of nearly 3:1.

Chen Dong was well aware of his own abilities; such terrifying data was beyond what his novels could achieve.

However, after browsing the comments section, Chen Dong found the reason for the surge in data.

"Is the author from Sister Su's live stream an insider of the 'Devil's Roulette' production team?"

"Author, you don't want the company to find out about this leak, do you?"

"Even the donkeys in the production team don't rest this much! Author, hurry up and update! I want to see what your company's next game is!"

"I have to say, although the gameplay of Devil Roulette is a bit old-fashioned, it is really addictive, haha."

In just one night, dozens of comments were added to the novel's comment section, and it seemed that these people all learned about the novel through a streamer named "Taosu".

A large portion of the people were speculating about the author's identity, trying to figure out if he was an employee of the company that made "Devil's Roulette," a seer who escaped the werewolf's pursuit, or a time traveler from the future.

The first two were fine, but when Chen Dong saw the words "time traveler" appear in the comments section, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was making the connection to the parallel world travel.

"How many novels have these people read that they can make such unscientific connections in the scientific age as to prophets and time travelers?"

After drinking a glass of water to calm his nerves, Chen Dong searched for the name "peach shortbread" on his phone.

Soon, a live stream popped up.

"No ending the broadcast until the level is cleared?"

Upon seeing the title of the live stream, Chen Dong couldn't help but chuckle twice.

The original Devil Roulette is only of average difficulty; you can beat it in just a couple of hours with a bit of luck.

Even with bad luck, you can still pass all the levels in less than five hours.

However, after receiving Yin Qingying's comment that the game was too easy, he had the development team increase the game's difficulty overnight and used AI to train the human-machine interface so that it could make judgments based on the situation and make choices.

After the difficulty was increased, none of the company's employees were able to complete the test within six hours.

The one who finished in the shortest time was Yin Qingying, who usually doesn't seem to play games.

It took only six and a half hours to pass all three levels.

As for the other employees, most of them spend about eight hours a day.

Even after completing the game, its gambling-like gameplay mechanics can still attract players.

This is one of the reasons why Chen Dong felt confident using "Devil Roulette" to participate in the developer festival.

Even if players complete the game during the free period of the developer festival.

Even 14 days later, many people will still choose to pay to buy Devil Roulette and continue playing.

"It seems that the leading role played by some game streamers helped Devil Roulette gain a lot of exposure and traffic on the first day."

Chen Dong knew that with the gameplay and mechanics of "Devil Roulette," it would become popular online sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, the game gained considerable popularity in just one night.

Seeing that the streamer had used a prop but was still blown in the head by the demon, Chen Dong couldn't help but laugh.

However, upon seeing Su Tao's bloodshot eyes and obvious dark circles under her eyes, Chen Dong spent money on the live streaming platform for the first time in his life, gifting Su Tao a sports car.

"Games are fun, but streamers should also take care of their health."

When Chen Dong registered, he used the company's name. The official team personally watched the live stream or sent gifts, which not only increased brand awareness but also brought them closer to the players.

The gift was spotted by viewers in the live stream as soon as it was sent.

"Starcard Games, that looks familiar. It seems to be the company that developed Devil Roulette."

"Hey streamer, the official account is here!"

"Even the officials couldn't stand it anymore and got involved themselves. The streamer should take care of his health and go offline to rest for a while."

Chen Dong didn't expect the audience to have such sharp eyes, spotting him so quickly.

So, after hesitating for a moment, I reluctantly bought another sports car.

After all, Su Tao generated a lot of buzz for the game, and Chen Dong would feel somewhat guilty if he didn't do something in return.

Perhaps because she had stayed up all night, Su Tao's reactions were noticeably slower.

It took quite a while before, with the help of viewers, they finally found Chen Dong's gift-giving records.

"Thank you so much, StarCard, for the sports car! Thank you so much!"

Su Tao's face was full of exhaustion, but she still forced herself to put her hands together and thank Chen Dong for the gift.

"Since the official channels have spoken, I, Xiao Su, can only respectfully comply. I'll end the broadcast now and take a break. See you all tonight, bye-bye..."

Two hours earlier, Su Tao had been driven to despair by the game and wished she could go back six hours and slap herself for making that promise.

Now, thanks to Chen Dong's words, she can finally end the broadcast legitimately.

After Su Tao weakly expressed her gratitude, the live stream immediately went black. Chen Dong couldn't help but feel that he had done a good deed.

As Chen Dong was about to wash up after leaving the live stream, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller was none other than his good manager, Yin Qingying.

Aside from the creditors who wanted to collect their debts, Yin Qingying was the person Chen Dong contacted most frequently.

Perhaps because the original owner of this body disobeyed her last time, resulting in the company losing both games and funds, Yin Qingying started contacting Chen Dong more and more frequently.

Chen Dong was very happy to receive a call from the beautiful Yin Qingying if it was for personal reasons.

Unfortunately, every time the other party called, they talked about company matters.

As soon as the call connected, Chen Dong launched the first attack.

"Manager Yin, do you know what day of the week it is today?"

"If you don't rest, I do need to rest too."

However, Yin Qingying was already used to Chen Dong's rhetoric and began to report on her work in her own way.

"Mr. Chen, the performance of 'Devil Roulette' on the first day of the developer festival has been impressive."

With the sound of papers turning, Yin Qingying's cold voice rang out again.

"On its first day, Devil Roulette attracted over 100,000 players, with more than 10,000 concurrent users. It has a positive review rate of 88% and is currently ranked fifth on the popularity charts."

After listening to Yin Qingying's report, Chen Dong nodded. The result was somewhat unexpected, yet reasonable, and he wasn't too surprised.

"This result is not bad. After a couple of days, once the game gains traction among players and online, its ranking will likely improve significantly."

"Manager Yin, 'Devil Roulette' is just the beginning; there are countless other excellent games waiting for us to develop."

"Therefore, please take care of your health. Work when you should work, and rest when you should rest. The company's future development cannot be separated from you!"

After the words were spoken, there was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by a cool "I understand" in a clear voice, before the call was abruptly ended.

Looking at his busy signal on his phone, Chen Dong sighed helplessly. He guessed the other party hadn't listened to him.

at the same time.

Inside a slightly old rental room in Hangzhou.

Yin Qingying sat on the dilapidated sofa with one leg missing, holding her phone and unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

"Will we walk towards the future together with Star Card...?"
