To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 602 - 346

“No, it should be that we’re on fire! Qiu Yu, I really am a genius. I only joined your side not long ago, and we’ve already achieved such success! You should thank me. Aren’t you going to hurry up and treat me to a meal at the small hotpot restaurant?”
Qiu Yu, who had just woken up, still felt a bit groggy until Alan dragged him down to the small hotpot restaurant, where he gradually became more clear-headed.
He looked on blankly as Alan ordered one of everything on the menu, still not understanding the current situation.
But from Alan’s expression, he could see quite a bit.
“Hm?” He asked, puzzled.
“Mhm.” Alan nodded affirmatively.
“Hm?” Qiu Yu asked excitedly.
“Mhm.” Alan nodded again.
Immediately turning on his phone, he opened his MOD developer backend, and the data that greeted him made his eyes widen.
Although he had some expectations, the numbers were still a bit shocking.
A hundred thousand paid downloads, a 97% approval rating, thousands of comments—the game he and Alan developed had rocketed to the top of the latest paid MOD list at an unstoppable speed, a truly terrifying feat.
New downloads were still increasing, and Game Inn’s smart push had already discovered his game, giving him a better recommendation.
A game priced at six yuan each would bring him more than half a million in revenue share, an income enough to cover the losses from a year of unemployment and enable him to continue creating the games he wanted.
He didn’t need other people’s investment, nor did he need extra promotion; his game had finally been recognized by the market, earning him a spot in the next round of selections.
In that moment, Qiu Yu felt as if he had suddenly come to life.
The hubbub around him became more tangible, Alan in front of him seemed more vivid, and the blazing hotpot bubbled before him, its mouthwatering aroma bringing him back to reality.
The past year’s hardships became the sustenance for his success, and the suddenness of this success left him a little panicked.
“We… made it?”
“We did!”
Alan expertly ordered two bottles of beer, deftly popped open one, and handed the other bottle to Qiu Yu.
Picking up a slice of beef, he looked at Qiu Yu and said, “Cheer up a bit, you’ve succeeded.”
A wave of immense joy swept over Qiu Yu, making him realize that creating games was such a fulfilling endeavor.
Taking a big gulp of beer, he wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth and began to eat heartily.
A few days later, the first batch of games for the game exhibition had been selected.
Despite the rush, the exhibition still featured quite a few high-quality games.
At Fang Cheng Studio, everyone put their other work on hold, each selecting games in their areas of interest for evaluation.
Due to the lack of personnel, Fang Cheng also called over Mr. Shen and other teachers from Tianxiong Studio to help, and they were glad to do Fang Cheng the favor.
The transportation costs didn’t matter; what was key was that this game exhibition was no ordinary event. It was organized by Fang Cheng Studio itself, and it was a large-scale event. Participating as judges was very prestigious.

These teachers were human too; they had their own desires. Even if it was just to shine for a bit longer in this field after retirement, it was a wonderful experience for them.
For the first time, the usually empty studio was full of people. Upon arriving, the visiting teachers first marveled at Fang Cheng’s current achievements, then envied the working environment here, and were thoroughly speechless upon hearing about the employee benefits.
With such compensation, no wonder the employees here are willing to work so hard.
And upon hearing that there was no overtime, the teachers envied them even more, wishing they could come out of retirement and work here for decades more.
But joking aside, they still understood that their way of thinking had aged, and they could no longer keep up with the times.
Not to mention anything else, they couldn’t understand the amusement parks that had become popular recently and had no clue what kinds of games the youth were into these days.
Even though they couldn’t keep up with the times in their thinking, they could still help divert a good number of games.
Looking at the games here, they all expressed their opinions, diverting those they couldn’t understand to prevent any mistakes.
“This game is good; although it’s a gacha game, the tower defense mechanics are really interesting. The difficulty is well-integrated with the strength of the cards. I think it could get a high score.”
“This game… I don’t understand. What’s up with romancing a mecha? I wouldn’t say anything if you were dating the pilot, but why the mecha? However, the combat part is really well done, the hits feel solid, and it’s very satisfying to play. But it’s rated eighteen-plus, and I can’t see why that is.”
“Here, this one has mecha hand-to-hand combat scenes.”
“Hss… I don’t get it.”
Ever since these teachers arrived, Xiao Douzi had been in an excited state.
Being a game enthusiast, he still looked up to each of the teachers as his idols.
At this time, it was as if he had entered the stronghold of his idols, surrounded by the stimulating and intense presence of fellow gamers, to the point where he felt almost overwhelmed.
However, he withstood the temptation firmly, looked at Fang Cheng with determination, and said, “Boss, don’t worry, I won’t betray you! In my heart, you will always be number one.”
