32 Love is Something You Create

As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Zhang, who had just brought tea for the cameraman, suddenly trembled, causing the tea in his hand to splash.

Could they really twist this topic back to themselves?

The viewers, including Brother Yin and others, spat out their water directly. Was this the power of Shen Keke?

However, they were genuinely interested in this question. When they entered, they saw Xiao Zhang.

At that moment, upon seeing the old scoundrel, a question sprang up in his mind.

Shouldn't he, as a young and successful person, have a beautiful female secretary in the company for aesthetics?

Ye Feng took a deep breath. He could even hear the laughter outside his office.

Everyone must be watching this live broadcast!

"Because women would only slow down my sword-drawing speed," Ye Feng stared at Shen Keke expressionlessly. "A mind free of women leads to a godly sword. Is there something wrong with my game design?" Ye Feng turned the question back to Shen Keke.

The bullet comments of "hahaha" laughter suddenly ceased. Everyone was reminded of their own pitiful appearances while playing games.

So, that's why they were so terrible at gaming?

"That actually makes sense," Shen Keke nodded thoughtfully. A person with undivided attention indeed excelled in everything.

"We all know that your company has already developed three games, all of which have received positive reviews from the public. What I want to know is, can your company produce even better works in the future?" Shen Keke's eyes sparkled.

"Since you've asked, I'll take this opportunity to share our game design plan," Ye Feng looked at the camera thoughtfully.

"Currently, we're focusing on high-quality side-scrolling games, but this is just a stepping stone for our 3A masterpiece." Ye Feng nodded thoughtfully, "We're planning to release our first major game by mid-next year."

Shen Keke: ???

Although she didn't understand game development, she was partially knowledgeable about the industry.

She had done some research before coming, brushing up on the necessary knowledge. She had worried about asking the wrong questions during the interview, as her unfamiliarity with the industry might lead her astray.

Now, in mid-July, he's planning to release a 3A game by mid-next year. Wasn't this even more naïve than her?

All the questions she wanted to ask were suddenly choked back. At this moment, Shen Keke's head was buzzing.

"We're currently working on the development of our next game. It will feature stage-by-stage open-world exploration, offering new shortcuts and routes generated based on abilities, items, and changing environments."

"Furthermore, the game will have a high learning curve, including but not limited to death penalties, challenging boss battles, and strong enemies combined with terrain."

Shen Keke: ???

...

Teng Feng looked at the live broadcast, his thoughts complex.

His memory seemed to have stopped a few months ago. That day, he had called the other person a student, stating that he didn't know how to use game development to make money.

He banned the other person's game and created a similar but more heavily monetized version himself.

However, the multiple pay-to-win mechanisms led to negative reviews for his imitation game. But this kind of small game often had a short-lived popularity.

The "newcomer" eventually left Yogame and released their own game on another platform.

This "newcomer" consistently stuck to their principles. Besides the cost of purchasing the game, there was no pay-to-win aspect.

And yet, he was making even more money now.

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

He invited him to join Yogame and offered a salary of several million yuan per year.

Ye Feng could lead his game development team to join Yogame, and all of his employees would be well compensated.

Several million yuan in annual salary. How many young people could obtain such an offer?

When Teng Feng sent this invitation, he didn't anticipate rejection.

But reality unfolded dramatically—Ye Feng not only declined but did so without any hesitation.

A minute after the email was sent, he received Ye Feng's response.

"Sorry, I'm not considering joining any company at the moment."

When did that fledgling become so capable?

...

"Our current plan is like this," Ye Feng took a sip of water, "Do you have any other questions?"

Shen Keke took a deep breath and looked into Ye Feng's eyes with scrutiny. "According to what you said, creating a game isn't a difficult task."

"Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and many game companies will present a special game for that occasion."

This was a game event exclusive to Valentine's Day, a carnival for players.

"It shouldn't be a difficult task to make a game for this holiday on short notice, right?" Shen Keke smiled as she looked at Ye Feng.

Watching the live broadcast, Brother Yin couldn't help but frown. "Isn't this condition a bit excessive?"

If Ye Feng couldn't meet this goal, the reputation he had just gained, as well as his fans, would suffer a significant blow.

With only a month until Valentine's Day, creating a game tailored for the occasion within that time frame was quite challenging.

As soon as Shen Keke finished speaking, she realized that her demand was inappropriate. However, since they were live, she couldn't take back her words.

"Of course, I know this demand might be a bit excessive. I was just giving an example," Shen Keke quickly added to clarify her statement.

"It's okay. Regarding creating a game for Valentine's Day, I actually have a small idea," Ye Feng's first thought upon hearing her request was the game known to players as "Breaking Up Kitchen."

This cooperative cooking management game required players to collaborate to fulfill customer orders. But was settling on a mode of cooperation enough?

Ye Feng's lips curled into a faint smile. "We'll put in a little extra effort and try to deliver a game before Valentine's Day."

Shen Keke looked into Ye Feng's eyes, and suddenly, a chill ran down her spine.

"May all lovers eventually become partners," Ye Feng nodded with assurance.

"Then, let me wish you an excellent performance at the upcoming Valentine's Day game festival."

"I'll make sure of it," Ye Feng affirmed confidently.

"Breaking Up Kitchen" would tell everyone:

Love is something you create, not just something you say!
