Chapter 206: Chapter 91: He Makes Free Charity Games As Well? This Young Man Has Gone Crazy Just to Flaunt!_3

Only after the interview journalists had left the scene early did Chang Detai bring up the theme of assisting farmers.

"In response to China Broadcasting Bureau’s ’Golden Autumn Harvest Season’ initiative, the Game Supervisory Bureau is looking for a gaming company to partner with us in developing a free-to-play public welfare game to aid farmers. The theme should ideally revolve around a rural and pastoral style. Does anyone here have any thoughts on this?"

With those words, silence fell.

The representatives from various game developers, big and small, were all quiet.

While the atmosphere wasn’t dead silent,

no one out there, apart from some hushed whispers, would dare to speak up loudly and take the lead.

About a dozen major companies had just discussed this in their offices, and the conclusion was clear. Now they sat there like meditating monks, each without making a sound.

Some medium and small-sized game companies that wanted good relations with the supervisory authority, including some smaller workshops, were indeed interested in this partnership.

However, their interest lay only in the prospect of collaborating with the authority.

With a joint production, even a small-scale game with lower costs would surely get promotion help from the authority’s official accounts with millions of followers.

The exposure of their own brand would instantly rise.

Add to that an official endorsement, and they could earn some recognition from players, leaving an impression beneficial for launching future new games.

It was a good deal.

But to speak of a theme focused on assisting farmers and revolving around rural and pastoral styles?

Well, we could only express our apologies.

We couldn’t contribute the slightest bit.

We couldn’t even conceive anything playable related to that theme.

Just as the situation was becoming a bit awkward, and Chang Detai was slightly disappointed and sighing inwardly,

suddenly, a relaxed and composed male voice resonated from the back row.

"I can do it."

Whish!!!

Instantly, in the vast conference hall, hundreds of pairs of eyes turned to look at the last row.

Even Chang Detai’s gaze was drawn.

All eyes of the world converged there!

When it was realized that the speaker was the highly popular Designer Ke in the gaming circles of late,

a few people showed a trace of relief in their eyes.

Yet the majority of the designers looked on with surprise, curiosity, scrutiny, and contemplation.

In summary, three words.

Disbelief.

After all, everyone present was a top-notch industry elite, and racking their brains, they couldn’t figure out how to start.

You say you can do it just like that?

I don’t believe it!

Ke Jin was also taken aback by everyone’s strong reaction.

He hadn’t spoken right away only because he wanted to observe quietly to see if there was any competition from his peers.

If there was a bidding process, he had to consider how he could firmly seize this chance sent from heaven.

Seeing that no one else spoke up, he didn’t dawdle.

Little did he know this crowd loved a spectacle, as they stared at him with wide-open eyes.

It even made him feel a bit shy.

At that moment, upon seeing that Ke Jin was the one who answered, Chang Detai’s eyes brightened instantly, and he even stood up, somewhat excitedly.

However, to avoid having the young man impulsively say something just to save face in front of his peers without considering the ramifications, Chang Detai still intended to remind him. It was also to give him a way out in case he couldn’t follow through, so as not to become the joke of the whole industry.

For this young designer whom he held in high regard, Chang Detai did not want to see that happen.

"The game must feature a rural and pastoral style, and the theme of assisting farmers must be clear. We are not looking to outshine the China Broadcasting Bureau’s other major flagships in terms of fame, but at the very least, within our own small circle, the game should be well-received by a decent number of players."

"With so many requirements, are you certain you can still do it, Designer Ke?"

Ke Jin didn’t reply directly, but instead asked another question that puzzled everyone present.

"Director Chang, are you certain that this game will be completely free and that there will be no way for players to make any in-game purchases?"

Chang Detai was taken aback.

He didn’t understand why Ke Jin would ask such a question.

Was it because he found the point of a free game hard to accept since it wouldn’t make money?

Although this kid’s previous game pricing had been quite peculiar,

the final outcome was always a huge profit.

This indicated that the kid wasn’t opposed to making money, it was just his smart business strategy.

But then again, one couldn’t measure the value of public welfare projects in monetary terms.

As much as Chang Detai wanted to say, ’You are allowed to set up a payment interface,’ to keep the young man on board,

he still nodded reluctantly and said fairly, "Yes, completely free. It’s a public welfare project, so no in-game purchases are allowed. Otherwise, it would defeat the purpose."

Chang Detai was somewhat concerned that the young man would drop the task altogether upon hearing this.

But surprisingly, Ke Jin seemed excited upon hearing those words and stoutly declared,

"Okay, I’ll take on this partnership."

"Within 7 days, the finished game will be delivered to the bureau!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the designers present were shocked!

Seven short days?

To develop a game?

A game based on a farmer-assistance theme that everyone had just shaken their heads about, unable to do?

And it had to be somewhat popular among players?

Are you sure???

At that moment, nearly every designer in the room had one thought.

Crazy!

This young man, for the sake of showing off, had gone mad!
