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

"Thank you so much for the gift, author!"

"Wow, I've been blessed with a magical artifact! Does this mean it's already starting to work? Amitabha!"

"I heard these blessed magical artifacts aren't cheap; the author really went all out!"

"That's right, the author's book hasn't been released yet. Can we say that the author is currently losing money to write the book?"

"By the way, when will the author release the book? I've probably already read all the recommendations."

Because of the recent lucky draw, the reader group was very lively, with a large number of readers no longer lurking and joining the chat.

When readers asked about the novel's release date, Chen Dong didn't hold back and directly shared his thoughts.

"I've discussed it with the editor, and the 30-word book will be published on time."

These words caused another uproar among the group members.

"30 words of this kind of content being published? We've caught a conscientious author!"

"The author must have a high status in Star Card, as he can get information about the game that is going to be produced in advance, and he doesn't care about the money he makes from writing novels."

"Now that you mention it, I wonder if Escape from Chickenkov can be released soon? Starcard finally has an FPS game!"

"Following roguelike games and sandbox survival games, Starcard is about to create a new genre of games. Just hearing the name 'Search, Fight, and Withdraw' makes me very excited."

Chen Dong didn't expect the group chat to veer towards "Escape from Chickenkov".

However, the game has already been in production and the progress is not slow. After all, the programmers in the fourth product development department are all veterans who were poached with high salaries and have rich coding experience.

And there's still some time before the Edo-era video game expo held in Japan.

Prior to this, Product Development Department 4 only needed to create the first map for Escape from Chickenkov.

This unfinished game will be displayed at the Edo Game Show in early October.

Chen Dong is no longer satisfied with the domestic market; he plans to take advantage of the annual game development competition to launch "Escape from Chickenkov" internationally.

Chen Dong naturally wouldn't reveal this plan in the group chat, but he could reveal the exhibition time for the promotional version of "Escape from Chickenkov".

"The boss values ​​Escape from Chickenkov very much, so we'll spend more time polishing it. The promotional version should be released in one to two months."

Chen Dong's ability to conceal his identity has been honed to perfection; even with tens of thousands of readers, none of them discovered that he was the owner of Star Card Games.

After sending this message, Chen Dong stopped chatting in the group and opened the writer's assistant to start his writing task for the day.

In order to be able to release several chapters in quick succession to reward readers when the novel is published soon, Chen Dong dared not squander his stockpile of manuscripts.

I don't expect to emulate others by updating 100 chapters at once upon release, but I'll at least update 10,000 words for several days in a row as a token of my appreciation.

In addition, Chen Dong also plans to try to use the system's mechanism to complete the Black Monkey's storyline before and after the game is released, which might allow the system to change the conditions for redeeming the game.

After all, he squeezed almost all of the readers' monthly votes dry this month.

……

Meanwhile, in a rented room on the outskirts of Hangzhou.

Yin Qingying carefully held the marriage charm that Chen Dong had given her, her eyes looking as if she were examining a rare treasure.

"Mr. Chen is not young anymore and has achieved success in his career. It's time for him to settle down and have children."

I wonder if Mr. Chen's invitation to go to Lingyin Temple to pray for blessings has any other meaning.

Yin Qingying's face flushed slightly, her thoughts running wild like a runaway horse, impossible to control.

Fortunately, a phone call interrupted her wild thoughts.

"Hello, Grandma Director, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, Yingying, I just missed you. Have you eaten yet?"

An aged voice came from the receiver, and the blush on Yin Qingying's face faded, replaced by a smile.

"They've eaten. How are Grandma and your younger siblings doing at Uncle Zheng's?"

"It's alright, but I'm sorry to have troubled you, Uncle Zheng."

Thinking of how attentive Uncle Zheng was to his grandmother, Yin Qingying's smile widened.

"Uncle Zheng probably won't find it troublesome; on the contrary, he'll be secretly delighted."

"You silly girl, don't talk nonsense!"

The dean's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, and after a moment, she continued.

"By the way, the renovation of the welfare home will be completed in ten days to half a month. When that time comes, can you bring Xiao Chen along?"

"You're not getting any younger, and Grandma thinks Xiao Chen is quite good."

Upon hearing this, the blush that had just faded from Yin Qingying's cheeks reappeared.

"Grandma, don't talk nonsense. Chen... and I are just friends."

Yin Qingying wanted to explain, but then she thought that her grandmother was getting old and her only wish was to see her find a good husband.

Therefore, Yin Qingying did not directly state that she and Chen Dong had an employer-employee relationship.

However, it wouldn't be wrong to call them friends.

Yin Qingying recalled her experience of visiting Lingyin Temple with Chen Dong today and nodded in agreement.

On the other end of the phone, the dean assumed Yin Qingying was just shy, chuckled softly twice, and then said nothing more.

After a few brief pleasantries, the call ended.

Yin Qingying returned to her previous state, staring blankly at the bright red marriage talisman in her hand, her eyes vacant and her mind wandering.

This time, however, she was thinking about how to bring Chen Dong back to the orphanage.

……

The weekend flew by, and it was time for another work week.

Chen Dong just felt that the week had gone by too quickly, and everything had been calm and uneventful, as if he had entered the simple mode of Blue Star Online.

The development of Escape from Chickenkov is progressing steadily, the development of the new version of Terraria is also going smoothly, and the operation of the other two games is also proceeding without any surprises.

As for the blogger account operated by Jiang Jia, the number of mindless bashing comments under the videos has decreased by more than half, as if she realized that this account was not genuinely bashing Xingka, but instead provided Xingka with many suggestions for improvement.

Thus, this biggest hater of StarCard on the entire internet suddenly became the focus of attention for StarCard fans.

After all, if you encounter any game bugs, as long as you post them in the comments section, Star Card has a very good chance of making improvements.

These peaceful and smooth days continued until Friday.

The day the annual game development competition ended.

Terraria, with its performance far surpassing that of the second-place finisher, became the undisputed champion of the competition and earned a direct nomination for the TGA Grand Prix.

Star Card Game, in Chen Dong's office.

Hearing a knock at the door, Chen Dong stopped typing and called out, "Come in."

Then, dressed in a business suit, Yin Qingying pushed open the door and strode to the desk.

"Mr. Chen, Steam Platform has sent you an invitation to Beijing to meet with Mr. Ren, the CEO of Steam Platform, to discuss matters related to winning the Terraria championship."
