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

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong immediately switched his phone to airplane mode.

He didn't want to be interrupted by a series of phone calls while he was writing his book.

With his attention back on the computer screen, Chen Dong, burdened with the daily task of updating 10,000 words, dared not be too lazy.

However, ever since the end of the last short story, Chen Dong has fallen into the dilemma that every online novel author encounters—writer's block!

In short, Chen Dong sat blankly in front of the computer screen, his hands on the keyboard, but he couldn't move his hands at all; his mind was completely blank.

Even though Chen Dong chose a field he was good at, he still inevitably encountered this problem.

In his previous life, he had read the answers given by various authors, even renowned and platinum-level writers, to this question.

Some authors dig holes in the early stages of a story, regardless of whether these holes can be filled in later. Whenever they encounter writer's block, they use the holes they dug in the early stages to get through the difficult time.

Some authors choose to abandon the main plot and instead give the protagonist a side story, using the side story to deduce the main plot.

Of course, as far as Chen Dong knows, most authors still choose to grit their teeth and force themselves to write.

In any case, the author doesn't need to read the works they write; the readers pay for them.

Chen Dong naturally held a contemptuous attitude towards this legal but immoral behavior.

Who are the readers?

Readers are the author's bread and butter!

How can you pollute the reader's eyes with a bunch of garbage squeezed out like toothpaste?

therefore.

Chen Dong spent almost the entire day sitting in front of his computer, except for necessary activities.

I wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote again.

I've finally managed to complete my task of updating 10,000 words today.

"call--"

Chen Dong seemed to have lost all his strength and slumped back on the sofa.

"It has to be said that writing online novels is not only an extremely mentally taxing task, but also requires a considerable amount of physical stamina!"

Even as darkness fell and the room became pitch black, he couldn't muster the slightest desire to move.

I glanced at the time in the bottom right corner: 8:43.

As usual, Chen Dong opened the Cat's Claw live streaming platform.

Aside from browsing forums, watching live streams is one of the few ways Chen Dong can get up close and personal with the players' thoughts.

"The streamer has no idea whether the data for the game 'Rock Island' is abnormal. You can leave a message in the comment section of the official Steam platform account."

Please refrain from spamming the live stream with this sensitive topic. The host will reserve their opinion for now.

Upon entering Su Tao's live stream, Chen Dong noticed that they seemed to be discussing whether "The Rocky Isle" deserved its third-place ranking.

Scrolling up the comments, many viewers felt that the current success of "The Rock Isle" was somewhat inflated, and hoped that streamer Su Tao could speak out on behalf of the players.

However, Su Tao's response to this behavior, which could potentially backfire and even ruin her career, was only one sentence.

"Let the bullets fly a little longer."

"As long as the public pressure on the Steam platform is great enough, the platform will naturally conduct an internal review."

"Apart from that, the host was surprised by the current success of 'Yanduyu,' but it was also within reason."

After her words, Su Tao had completely brought the topic to a close.

Behind the screen, when he noticed that many players disagreed with the results of "The Rock Isle", an idea suddenly popped into Chen Dong's mind.

"Could Teng Yan and Sun Dan really be going against the grain and doing something shady like this?"

……

Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Inside a high-end residential community.

Zhao Qin patted his wife's smooth shoulder, telling her to go and take care of the child who had already been put to sleep.

He then went to the balcony, took out his phone, and called Huang Ang.

After waiting two seconds, the call connected, and Zhao Qin immediately said.

"Old Huang, I've seen the online comments. Will they affect you?"

Zhao Qin did not expect that simply asking Huang Ang to change the ranking of "Yanduyu" to third place on the list would cause such a stir on the Internet.

It should be noted that his initial idea was to have Huang Ang put "Yan Du Yu" at the top of the list.

Still worried that this move would be too conspicuous, Zhao Qin took the initiative to back down.

On the other end of the phone, Huang Ang's voice sounded slightly tired and hoarse.

"Don't worry, nothing should happen. You can also have Teng Yan issue a statement to curb the speech."

Huang Ang had a vague feeling that he shouldn't have helped Zhao Qin with this favor.

But it's too late for regrets now.

He felt a warm feeling rise in his heart when Zhao Qin took the initiative to call and express his concern.

"It's good that you're alright. If you have any problems, just give me a call, and I'll have Teng Yan cooperate with you."

Zhao Qin nodded earnestly.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.

Gazing at the beautiful night view of the river outside the railing, Zhao Qin had no heart to appreciate it; a trace of worry slowly crept up his brow.

It seems that he made a mistake from the moment he desperately sought out Sun Dan.

He was tied to Sun Dan's chariot and forced to become an enemy of Star Card Game.

only……

Zhao Qin turned around and looked into the room at his wife and daughter, who were bathed in warm light.

He was forced to make one mistake after another.

……

Monday, the first workday of the week.

Zhao Qin arrived at the company on time as always, not a minute early and not a second late.

Yesterday, following Huang Ang's advice, he had his colleagues in the marketing department issue an urgent statement.

He stated sternly that Teng Yan has always been fair and just, and disdains using underhanded methods.

In an instant, most of the conspiracy theories that were rampant on the internet disappeared.

In addition, a large number of online trolls hired by Tengyan also spread the message that "Yan Du Yu" deservedly ranked third on the list and that there was no behind-the-scenes manipulation.

Even a prominent blogger with considerable influence within the player community spoke highly of "Rock Island" thanks to Tengyan's huge sponsorship fee.

In addition, Teng Yan presented a lawyer's letter.

Zhao Qin believes that negative comments about Teng Yan on the internet will be difficult to escalate further.

By the end of the development festival, he will be able to deliver a satisfactory performance to the board of directors with "The Rocky Isle," which ranked third on the list, and retain his current position.

On his way to the office, Zhao Qin happened to see Sun Dan arguing with three other people from Star Card Games.

Both sides were flushed and looked extremely tense.

Zhao Qin didn't know much about the three people opposite Sun Dan, but he found it quite novel to see Sun Dan's unusual loss of composure.

drop--

The elevator has arrived.

Upon seeing Zhao Qin standing at the door, the people inside lowered their heads, greeted him, and quickly left on either side of him.

Zhao Qin stepped into the elevator and found that no one dared to ride with him, so he had no choice but to press the close button.
