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

Chapter 154 This is all for the players!

In just three days, thanks to Chen Dong's hard work, the 50,000-word short story was quickly completed, which meant that the system would provide the exchange conditions for "Titanfall" the next day.

The night was as dark as ink, and December was approaching, which was early winter. Even in Hangzhou, a city in the south, the temperature at night had dropped considerably. Chen Dong needed to buy a warmer quilt so that he wouldn't wake up cold in the middle of the night.

On Saturday morning, just as dawn was breaking, Chen Dong woke up from his sleep.

The first thing I did upon waking up was to check the system's quest to redeem "Titanfall".

[Game Novel Master System]

[Host: Chen Dong]

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

[Games within the novel: Devil's Roulette, Vampire Survivors — Titanfall]

[Exchange Requirements: Earn 10,000 monthly tickets for the novel this month!]

[Redeemable Games: None]

[Game redeemed: Devil Roulette ————]

"Ten thousand monthly passes —"

Looking at the redemption conditions given by the system, Chen Dong clicked his tongue, picked up his phone from the bedside table, logged into the novel app, and checked how many monthly votes his novel had.

"We Promised to Develop a Match-3 Game, But What's with Titanfall?" has 5344 monthly tickets and ranks 333rd on the monthly ticket leaderboard.

name.

To be honest, Chen Dong's novel has performed quite well. Not only has the average subscription rate steadily increased and is about to reach the level of a high-quality novel, but the reader and fan loyalty is also very strong. At least they are willing to cast their precious monthly votes for Chen Dong.

However, there are less than two days left until December. Under normal circumstances, Chen Dong would not be able to get 10,000 monthly votes for the novel before December.

"There's no other way; it's all for the players!"

Chen Dong found an excuse for himself to justify finding ticket scalpers to buy tickets.

Logged into QQ, found the ticket scalper's account, and Chen Dong sent a message crisply and decisively.

"Hello, how much do 4700 monthly passes cost?"

"Twenty-five thousand. The price will be a bit higher at the end of the month, please understand."

Although it was Saturday morning, a day off, the ticket scalpers across the street seemed to have no concept of weekends off, and they remained at their posts to make money.

"Sigh, making money is really not easy." Chen Dong thought to himself, and without haggling, he agreed to the price offered by the other party.

"No problem, but I need the money to arrive as soon as possible."

"OK"

Seeing the "OK" emoji and a screenshot of a payment code sent by the other party in the chat box, Chen Dong paid the deposit first.

For Chen Dong, a deposit of 25,000 yuan or 10,000 yuan was not much different from a dollar or two.

After finishing all this, Chen Dong slowly got out of bed and quickly washed up.

The master bedroom's bathroom also has a sizable glass window, allowing Chen Dong to see the view of the Yangtze River while brushing his teeth, washing his face, or even using the toilet.

Putting everything else aside, just seeing the surging river in the distance makes Chen Dong feel refreshed every time he goes to the toilet. At least for the past period of time, no matter how extreme his diet is, it has not caused Chen Dong the problem of constipation.

The exhaust fan overhead was spinning without making a sound, and it continuously removed all the odors from the toilet.

Chen Dong, toothbrush in hand, sat on the smart heated toilet and once again experienced the benefits of being rich.

"Sure enough, rich people don't get a cold bottom when they go to the toilet in winter."

Half an hour later, Chen Dong walked out of the bathroom looking refreshed.

He was about to make himself a cup of hand-ground coffee when he was interrupted by a sudden ringing of his phone.

Unlock, open QQ, and a red dot appears next to the chat box with the ticket scalper.

"The transaction has been completed. Please log in to your account to check and pay the remaining balance."

So fast!

Upon seeing the scalper's message, Chen Dong was stunned for a moment.

While he was washing up, the ticket scalpers had already bought nearly five thousand monthly passes.

Chen Dong didn't log in to check if the monthly pass had arrived; instead, he directly brought up the system panel.

As expected, the redemption conditions given by the system have been met, and the words "Titanfall" have been added to the list of redeemable games.

Before redeeming "Titanfall" from the system, Chen Dong made sure to transfer the remaining payment to the ticket scalper first.

"Received, thank you boss. Feel free to contact me next time you need anything!"

Ignoring the message from the ticket scalper, Chen Dong's attention returned to the system panel.

With a thought, a familiar black USB drive appeared on the bedside table beside him, containing information about "Titanfall".

Chen Dong picked up the USB drive from the cabinet, and couldn't help but rub its frosted texture.

"It seems it's time to set up a new department dedicated to developing Titanfall."

The departments that developed "Devil's Roulette" were already short-staffed. Perhaps they could be merged and merged into a single game DLC development department. Different games could simply be divided into different teams.

As Starcard's portfolio of games grows, there are currently three games under development or in preparation for development, bringing the company's product development department to nearly seven.

As for the product development department responsible for the previous games, most of its staff were transferred away by Chen Dong after the games were completed.

It is nominally a product development department, but in reality, there are only about ten people in the department.

Therefore, according to Chen Dong's idea, it's time for Xingka to streamline its internal departments.

Monday morning.

As soon as Chen Dong arrived at the company, he went straight to the managers' offices and told the two managers about his idea of ​​streamlining the company's internal departments.

Shen Shi was the first to stand up and agree with Chen Dong's idea.

"Mr. Chen, I also feel that Starcard's departments are a bit too bloated. Perhaps we could divide the game development work into two departments: DLC development and game development. Within each department, we could further divide the work into different teams based on the game project."

-

Shen Shi expanded on Chen Dong's idea and decided to merge the entire department that was developing games into one.

However, after hearing their thoughts, Yin Qingying frowned slightly and expressed her concerns.

"President Chen's idea of ​​streamlining departments is well-intentioned, but if the employees raise objections due to changes in job titles, it will be a difficult problem to solve."

Being demoted from a department head to a team leader, even though the actual power remains largely unchanged, can easily cause discontent among some people due to the mere change in title.

Moreover, in Xingka, a hastily-run subsidiary, employees' salaries are tied to their positions. Once someone is demoted from supervisor to team leader, their salary will be significantly reduced.

After a moment's thought, Chen Dong slowly spoke.

"In that case, let's separate the position and rank, and pay salaries according to the rank."
