After finishing his work at the company, Chen Dong didn't linger. Instead, he went straight home, turned on his computer, and prepared to continue writing.

Although he appeared calm and composed in front of his company employees, he was actually in a hurry, wishing he could go home immediately to write.

According to the system's instructions, the game you redeem must have appeared in the novel's plot. Trying to exploit loopholes in the system by reciting the names of dishes is simply not going to work.

Therefore, all Chen Dong can do right now is keep writing, quickly advance the plot, and get the male lead to use the game to slap the villain in the face as soon as possible, thus completing a small plot.

However, before he could start writing, Chen Dong still needed to complete the signing process.

Indeed, less than three hours after its release, Chen Dong's novel caught the eye of an editor, who sent him a contract offer through the author assistant's backend.

For a novel to generate revenue, receive support from the website, and attract more readers, signing a contract is an essential step.

However, some websites treat signing a contract as a mere formality, something anyone can do, while others present a hellish difficulty level, shattering the writing dreams of countless online literature enthusiasts.

After exchanging contact information with the editor and briefly discussing the direction of the subsequent plot, Chen Dong signed the electronic contract.

With the editor's help, the novel quickly passed the contract review.

"We Promised to Develop a Match-3 Game, But What's with the Titanfall?", by Ai Chi Wu Gua Feng Zhang, currently being serialized.

As a new author and with only three chapters released, Chen Dong's novel has only two readers.

One is him, and the other is probably the editor who tried to help him.

However, Chen Dong was already mentally prepared for this. Being able to sign the contract was already an unexpected surprise, so what more could he ask for!

After handling the contract matters, Chen Dong was able to focus on writing his novel.

For this old writer, updating 6,000 words a day is just a break, updating 10,000 words a day is just routine, and updating 15,000 words a day is barely considered a burst of updates.

Moreover, the subject matter Chen Dong chose was game producers, whom he was extremely familiar with and skilled at, and could also be described as game plagiarists.

If he can't maintain a daily update of over 10,000 words, he'll be letting down the editors who support him and the readers who read his posts.

Of course, the latter doesn't exist yet.

Although the first three chapters laid some groundwork, Chen Dong didn't rush to let the protagonist choose an excellent game in another world through the system. Instead, he inserted a plot where employees didn't think highly of the game and even mocked their boss for overestimating himself.

After all, before Dong Cheng traveled through time, the employees were extremely dissatisfied with the boss's usual exploitation and oppression, and they couldn't wait for the boss to lose face in this bet.

As for what will happen next, most readers can guess.

But Chen Dong knew that his benefactors would continue to turn to the next page.

At the end of Chapter 4, after leaving a hook indicating that the protagonist is about to choose a game, Chen Dong lay back on the sofa.

"Which game should the male protagonist choose?"

In his previous life, Chen Dong chose to become a full-time online novel writer so that he would have more time to create online novels.

As a result, after becoming a full-time online novelist, the online time spent on Golden Shovel and Steam far exceeded that of Writer Assistant.

Therefore, Chen Dong does have quite a few excellent games from around the world in his mind.

In the past, he might have been racking his brains trying to choose which game would suit the readers' tastes.

But this is Earth, so it doesn't matter what he writes, since none of the readers have ever played it.

Even so, he could not create as he pleased.

Or rather, he can't just choose any popular work on Earth right now.

What he needs is a game that is inexpensive to produce, has a short production cycle, and is of high quality.

After a brainstorming session, Chen Dong set his sights on a puzzle-solving, slightly scary game similar to Russian roulette from his previous life—Devil's Roulette.

As far as Chen Dong knew, the game's development team consisted of only one person, and it only took them two months to create a game that sold millions of copies and generated over ten million in profit.

If he could obtain the game's planning, design concepts, and background information, it would likely be enough to revive the nearly bankrupt Starcard Games company.

After making the decision, Chen Dong quickly got up from the sofa and glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

7:33pm.

My stomach rumbled at just the right moment.

To avoid losing inspiration, Chen Dong chose to continue writing in front of the computer.

The last time he wrote so diligently was because his rent was due and he didn't have a single word in his pocket.

My ten fingers are practically sparking from rubbing against the computer keyboard.

Inside the office, Dong Cheng retrieved the system's newbie gift pack and selected the hit game from his previous life—"Devil Roulette."

The next second, a USB drive appeared silently on Dong Cheng's desk.

Plug it into the computer; it contains production data related to "Devil's Roulette".

Subsequently, Dong Cheng summoned the company's technical director, sent him the game plan for "Devil Roulette," and instructed him to complete the production of "Devil Roulette" within half a month.

Meanwhile, Dong Cheng also decided to use "Devil Roulette" to participate in the platform's summer game creation competition starting next month.

This gaming competition will help him and his company achieve instant fame.

Although Chen Dong tried his best to compress this transitional content, it still took up an entire chapter.

However, Chen Dong's post wasn't just a casual comment; it was a clever way to introduce the game competition, setting the stage for the subsequent plot development.

The worst thing for online novels is a plot with inexplicable boasting and face-slapping moments. Readers will not only not feel any satisfaction, but will also feel very embarrassed.

What Chen Dong is doing now is setting up a stage in advance for the male lead's highlight moments.

The ending shows the male protagonist and Manager Fang's games being released simultaneously, and both choosing to participate in a game competition in an attempt to boost the reputation of their respective games.

This means that the two not only had a personal feud, but also became rivals.

Chen Dong, on the other hand, skillfully cuts off chapters just before the plot reaches its climax, a quality that every online novel writer must possess.

Only by mastering the skill of "hooking" (a technique used to describe creating hooks or tricks) can one secure a stable job as an online novelist.

Chen Dong did not publish the two chapters he had written directly, but kept them as drafts.

The editor reminded him that it was best not to update too quickly before the new book was released, otherwise he might miss out on the traffic support provided by the website if the word count increased too fast.

Upon opening the system panel, Chen Dong discovered that there was no information about "Devil's Roulette" on it.

Perhaps he will only be allowed to redeem "Devil's Roulette" after the relevant chapters are released and the storyline concludes.

Seeing this, Chen Dong could only temporarily stop paying attention to these things and instead try to find a way to fill his stomach.

After much deliberation between instant noodles and a pre-made meal, Chen Dong decided that he should treat himself occasionally.

Hoping for a lucky break, I spent 12 yuan to order a Wallace deluxe four-piece set meal.

As expected...

Thanks to the skillful hands of the Chinese doctors, Chen Dong successfully cleared out the filth that had been accumulating in his intestines for a long time.
