Love Is Something You Do, Not Something You Say!

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Zhang, who had just brought tea to the cameraman, suddenly jerked his wrist, sloshing the tea in his hand.

How did this get dragged back to me?

Silver and the others watching the livestream spat out their water. Was this Shen Keke's true power?

But everyone really did care about this question. He had seen Xiao Zhang the moment he entered.

The instant he saw that old thief, a question he desperately wanted answered had indeed popped into his mind.

The old thief was young and successful. Why not hire a beautiful female secretary to keep in the company for the eye candy?

Ethan Vale took a deep breath. He could practically hear the laughter outside the office.

Everyone must be watching this livestream!

"Because women only slow down the speed at which I draw my sword." Ethan Vale looked at Shen Keke expressionlessly. "With no woman in my heart, my sword naturally becomes divine. Aren't my games good enough?" Ethan Vale tossed the question back at Shen Keke.

The barrage of laughing comments abruptly stopped. Everyone remembered the miserable state they were in when playing his games.

Was that why they were so terrible at games?

"That does make a lot of sense." Shen Keke nodded thoughtfully. Someone free of distractions really could do things better.

"We all know that your company has released three games so far, and they have all been well received by the public. What I want to know is, can your company create even better works in the future?" Shen Keke's eyes gleamed.

"Since you asked, this is a good chance to tell everyone about my game development plans." Ethan Vale looked thoughtfully into the camera.

"Our current focus is on high-quality side-scrolling games, but that is only laying the groundwork for AAA titles." Ethan Vale nodded pensively. "We expect to release our first major title before the middle of next year."

Shen Keke: ???

Though she did not understand game development, she was still half an insider. Before coming here, she had looked up relevant information and crammed a little.

She was afraid her questions would be biased, afraid that being unfamiliar with the field would make her ask questions that did not align with game development and get her cursed at.

It was now mid-July.

You were going to release your first AAA game by the middle of next year? How were you even more of an outsider than she was?

Every question she had wanted to ask was forced back down. Shen Keke only felt her head buzzing now.

"We are already developing and producing our next game. It will feature a semi-open, stage-based sandbox exploration system, with new shortcuts and routes constantly emerging through abilities, items, and changing environments."

"On top of that, the game will have a fairly high difficulty curve, including but not limited to death penalties, punishing boss battles, and powerful enemies paired with challenging terrain."

Shen Keke: ???

Teng Feng watched the livestream, his thoughts complicated.

His memories seemed to remain fixed on a few months ago. That day, he had said the other party was just some student kid, that he did not know how to turn the games he made into wealth.

He had banned the other party's game and made a highly similar knockoff.

The multiple pay-to-win systems had earned his imitation game plenty of bad reviews, but the time it took to go from popular to dead matched the nature of this kind of small game.

The other party had left Yogame and released his game on another platform.

That "newcomer" had always stuck to his principles. Other than the cost of buying the game, there was nowhere else to spend money.

Say he did not know how to make money, yet he was earning more than before.

After the World Anti-War Organization specifically praised Ethan Vale's Sprout Studio, Teng Feng personally sent Ethan Vale an invitation.

He sincerely invited him to join Yogame and offered him an annual salary of ten million.

Ethan Vale could bring his own game development team into Yogame, and all of his employees would receive generous compensation.

With an annual salary of ten million, what young person could refuse those terms?

When Teng Feng sent that invitation, he had never considered that he might be rejected.

But reality was just that dramatic. Not only had the other party refused, he had not hesitated in the slightest.

Only one minute after the email was sent, he received Ethan Vale's reply.

'Sorry, but I am not considering joining any company at the moment.'

When had that fledgling he could once manipulate at will soared straight into the heavens?

"That is our current plan." Ethan Vale took a sip of water. "Do you have anything else you want to ask?"

Shen Keke took a deep breath, her eyes filled with scrutiny as she looked at Ethan Vale. "Based on what you said, making a game does not seem particularly difficult."

"Qixi Festival is coming up soon, and quite a few game companies will release games specially made for Valentine's Day."

It was a game festival exclusive to Valentine's Day, and also a carnival for players.

"I suppose making a game specifically for the holiday on such short notice would not be difficult for you, right?" Shen Keke looked at Ethan Vale with a sweet smile.

Watching the livestream, Yinzi could not help frowning. "Isn't that condition a little excessive?"

If Ethan Vale failed to meet the goal, the fame and fans he had just accumulated would take a huge hit.

There was only one month left until Qixi Festival. Making a game specially tailored for Valentine's Day within a month was truly making things difficult for him.

The moment Shen Keke finished speaking, she realized her request was inappropriate. But since this was a livestream, she had no way to take back what she had just said.

"Of course, I know that request is a little excessive. I was only giving an example." Shen Keke hurriedly added to clarify her words.

"It's fine. I do have a few ideas for a game made for Qixi Festival." The first thing Ethan Vale thought of after hearing her request was the game players called Breakup Kitchen.

This cooperative kitchen management game required players to divide up the work and complete customer orders together.

But did you think everything would be fine once the cooperative format was established?

Were three rules enough? No vow of eternal love could withstand the trials of daily necessities.

The further the game progressed, the more it required coordination between the two players. It was the kind of game that could leave you frantically overwhelmed and even angry.

Yet a game like this could help couples understand each other better. Do not look at what the other person says, look at what they do. Breakup Kitchen was about making everyone shut up with the line: if you think you can do better, then do it yourself.

The corners of Ethan Vale's mouth curled slightly. "We'll work a little overtime and try to bring everyone a game before Qixi Festival."

Seeing the gleam in Ethan Vale's eyes, Shen Keke suddenly felt a chill run down her back.

"May all lovers under heaven become a couple." Ethan Vale nodded firmly.

"Then let me wish you good results in the upcoming Qixi Festival game festival in advance."

"I will." Ethan Vale nodded confidently.

Overcooked would tell everyone:

Love is something you do, not something you say!

I ate undercooked shiitake mushrooms today... My stomach hurt all day, so the update was delayed. (Ｔ▽Ｔ)
