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

As evening approached and the sun began to set, the sky was painted a beautiful golden hue.

Chen Dong also typed the last word, completing his task of updating 15,000 words for the day, and his drafts successfully reached six chapters.

"After the two chapters are released tomorrow, the system should provide the conditions for redeeming the game."

"I hope the difficulty of redeeming the game won't be too high..."

As he thought about it, Chen Dong turned on his phone and turned off airplane mode.

In an instant, dozens of missed call messages filled the entire phone screen.

Before Chen Dong could process these notices, a phone call came in.

"Is it going to be another debt collection call?"

Chen Dong frowned slightly, but after seeing the caller information displayed on the screen, he decisively pressed the green call button.

A voice as cold and clear as ice emanated from the speaker.

"We've found the whereabouts of General Manager Chen, Team Leader Sun, and the others. They've joined Tengyan Network Technology Co., Ltd., and are preparing to use the stolen 'Rock Island' to participate in the Summer Game Development Festival organized by the Steam platform in a week."

Team Leader Sun was one of the ostensible brothers who encouraged Chen Dong to start his own business; he was in charge of the technical aspects.

"The Rock Isle" is a horror adventure puzzle game that the company spent nearly a year creating, bringing together everyone's hard work.

The gameplay and content may be a bit outdated, but the art style and special effects are of an excellent standard.

Although Sun Dan is a bad person, he used Chen Dong's funding to develop a game. Once the game was almost finished, he used it as a pledge to join a leading company in the industry.

To be fair, his development skills are indeed excellent; he just lacks a platform to showcase his talents.

Given the production quality of "The Rock Isle", it will most likely achieve a top-five ranking at the Summer Game Developers Festival organized by Steam.

If the competitors are not strong enough this time, or if they use some underhanded means, they might even be able to take first place.

However, this game, which the original owner had high hopes for, was no longer relevant to Chen Dong.

"Understood." Chen Dong nodded.

Then, changing the subject, she said in a teasing tone, "Secretary Yin, aren't you a little too passionate about your work?"

The person on the other end seemed taken aback by Chen Dong's words. After a moment of silence, they replied, "It's my duty," and quickly hung up the phone.

Chen Dong looked at his phone, which was ringing with a busy tone, with a mix of amusement and exasperation. He couldn't understand why Secretary Yin was always so focused on her work.

Perhaps it's professional ethics? Or perhaps it's just his personality?

However, he doesn't have time to investigate this matter right now.

Find the Steam platform on your computer desktop, click to enter, and the summer game developer festival's pre-event banner is already hanging on the top notification bar of the homepage.

Chen Dong quickly glanced through the rules.

The event will last for 14 days, and all participating games will be free for a limited time. Developers will have one opportunity to adjust the game's price until the end of the event.

After the event ends, the first place winner will receive a full one million yuan, and the participating game will also be featured on the platform's homepage as a banner for 14 days!

Chen Dong's gaze first swept over the reward of one million yuan, then fixed firmly on the fact that the game would be pushed to the platform for 14 days.

As the largest gaming platform in China, Steam has already surpassed the tens of millions of players.

If a game can be featured on the platform's homepage, the resulting traffic is immeasurable.

"It seems that Sun Dan wants to use this opportunity to make a name for himself."

"But does a shameless person who has committed plagiarism and betrayed his partner deserve to be the champion and become famous?"

Chen Dong smiled slightly and muttered to himself.

Not only for the first-place reward, but also to deal with the guy who betrayed him, Chen Dong made his decision without hesitation: to participate in the Summer Game Development Festival starting next week.

With the system backing him up, Chen Dong believed he could defeat Sun Dan and make Xingka's name known throughout the gaming community!

After reviewing and polishing the chapters to be released tomorrow, and dealing with the creditors who called to collect debts, it was not yet ten o'clock when Chen Dong lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

……

The next day.

After getting up early and publishing two chapters, Chen Dong quickly opened the system panel.

[Game Novel Master System]

[Host: Chen Dong]

[Linked to novel: "We Promised to Develop a Match-3 Game, But What's with Titanfall?"]

[In-novel game: Devil's Roulette]

[Redeem Requirements: Obtain one monthly pass for the novel within 24 hours]

[Redeemable Games: None]

[Games redeemed: None]

Upon seeing the system panel finally change and no longer display two stars, Chen Dong's face immediately lit up with joy.

Upon seeing the requirements for redeeming the game, Chen Dong couldn't suppress his smile. His previous anxiety about the system's potentially harsh conditions vanished at that moment.

A monthly pass may not seem like much, but it really isn't.

If the system requires ten or one hundred monthly tickets, it might be quite a challenge for Chen Dong, who is currently struggling.

The only requirement for redeeming a game is a monthly pass, which couldn't be simpler; it doesn't even require reader votes.

Chen Dong picked up his phone, randomly clicked on a work, subscribed to a few chapters to get monthly tickets, and then directly voted for his own novel.

The moment after casting his monthly vote, Chen Dong successfully redeemed "Devil's Roulette".

A small USB flash drive appeared out of nowhere in front of Chen Dong.

He jumped off the bed, sat back on the sofa, plugged in the computer, and opened the USB drive—all in one smooth motion.

The USB drive contains three folders: the game plan, design concept, and background information for "Devil Roulette".

After briefly flipping through the three folders, Chen Dong breathed a long sigh of relief, as the heavy weight that had been pressing on his heart was finally lifted.

Even with the system, Chen Dong still felt intense anxiety about the million-dollar debt he would be burdened with a month later.

He was unclear about the conditions required to redeem the game through the system, and the fear brought by the unknown was intense and inescapable.

At this moment, if it weren't for the fact that it was still early and he was worried about being complained about by his upstairs and downstairs neighbors, Chen Dong would have loved to lean against the windowsill and shout a few times to vent the emotions that had been building up inside him.

After taking a few minutes to calm his excited emotions, Chen Dong looked at the USB drive in his hand and smiled faintly.

"The Devil's Roulette is just the beginning; countless masterpieces await my arrival on Earth."

Because the company had given its employees a three-day holiday, even though Chen Dong really wanted to turn the game project in his hands into a finished product immediately, he could only wait until the company resumed work in a couple of days.

Before that, all he could do was write.

Although the system only requires one monthly pass to redeem a game for the first time, no one knows whether the conditions for redeeming a game next time will become more stringent.

What if we need a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand copies?

Chen Dong could only continue to rack his brains to think about the plot and try his best to make the novel achieve better results.

However, health is the foundation of everything, so let's have breakfast first.
