I Just Want Players to Save Money, They Insist on Giving Me!-Chapter 72 - 44 Im going to reward you all generously _1

“Thank you, Dad and Mom, thank you, brother, thank you Xinlin!”

“Now I’m going to make a wish!”

“Wishing Dad and Mom are forever young and healthy!”

“Wishing Xinlin academic success and that she makes a fortune in the future to support me.”

“Wishing my brother…” Ke Yu suddenly paused mid-sentence.

Then, under her family’s gaze, she dashed to Ke Jin’s side, hugged his arm and tiptoed to whisper in his ear, “Wishing big brother’s new game ‘Skyline’ sells more and more…”

Before she could finish, Ke Jin reflexively slapped a hand over Ke Yu’s mouth.

Shut your mouth!

That’s so mean!

How can such crystal-clear and tender lips speak such malicious words!

I dote on you and pamper you as if you were my sister, and you wish for my downfall!

“Uh… once a wish is spoken, it won’t come true. Better to keep it in your heart,” Ke Jin ended up chuckling awkwardly as he explained to the family why he had covered his sister’s mouth.

The little incident quickly passed.

The family joyously embarked on Baby Yu’s birthday dinner.

After a satisfying meal, Mrs. Ke, along with Ke Yu and Luo Xinlin, chatted happily about household matters, occasionally erupting into bursts of laughter.

Ke Jun seemed to be brooding over not having caught a decent fish throughout the entire day and wandered off alone to sit by the lake after eating.

Yes, this meal did not include his fish.

Night fell gently, and from afar, one could faintly make out the silhouette of a man against the sporadic glow of his cigarette.

In that moment, a breeze swept by, the rustling of grass soothing to the soul.

Ke Jin had never really understood the feelings of fishing enthusiasts before.

He thought of it as a time-consuming and labor-intensive activity, and the pleasure gained from fishing did not seem proportionate to the time invested.

What’s more, one might spend a whole day without catching a single fish—wouldn’t that feel hugely frustrating?

If a game were developed in such a manner, it’s not that players wouldn’t like it, but it might have a hard time winning over the mainstream audience.

But seeing this scene, Ke Jin suddenly felt that he could understand the fisherman’s mood a bit.

At ease and blending with the surroundings.

At least at this moment, his eyes only saw the water, and his mind thought only of fish.

He cast aside other worries and distractions.

The so-called image of an elderly fisherman in a straw raincoat, fishing alone in the snowy river, might also embody such an artistic conception.

Considering the night time and the lakeside location, with cool wind and damp air heavy around them.

Ke Jin silently took a coat from the car, quietly approached Ke Jun, and then slowly draped it over his shoulders.

No matter whether his father supported him making games or not, he had dedicated the first half of his life for himself, for his younger sister, and for their family.

Owing to the strict upbringing he had received from a young age, it would be untrue if Ke Jin said he held no complaints in his heart towards Ke Jun, but regardless.

First and foremost, he was a competent father.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave.

Suddenly, Ke Jun’s voice reached his ears, but he didn’t turn his head, instead slowly saying,

“Stinker.”

Ke Jin paused slightly in his step.

But the former became silent again.

After a moment, he spoke with a hint of awkwardness and discomfort, starting his sentence in an awkward way,

“Even if you can’t find a job for a while, don’t worry too much.”

“Your mother’s and my earnings, although not much, are enough to support you and your sister.”

“By the time our retirement and pension savings kick in, along with insurance and the savings we’ve accumulated over the years… As long as you stay away from bad habits, living a stable life won’t be a problem.”

“I always used to think, my starting point was already low, having been a high school teacher all my life, earning a basic salary, watching the students I taught become successful and go further and further, while I remained in the same place my whole life.”

“That’s why I hoped that my son would surpass me, accomplish something in his career, and give me something to boast about to the neighbors, something to bring pride to my face.”

“But during this period, watching you rush around day and night looking for work, only to be rejected time after time in 40-degree heat, going out neat and tidy every day, coming back drenched in sweat… Your mom feels very sorry for you, she’s spoken to me about it in private… One thing she said made a deep impression on me.”

“She said we’ve worked hard all our lives to earn money, and then to have children, are we then expecting our children to go through the same hardships we did?”

“So, I thought, forget it, as long as you and your sister are happy, that’s good. Take advantage of your youth, see the world, do what you really want to do.”

As he spoke, he stared at the cigarette in his hand that had burned down to a small stub, his voice suddenly growing lower.

“Don’t end up trapped here all your life like I did.”

Ke Jin was taken aback, as if seeing his old dad for the first time, wanting to clearly see his father’s expression at that moment.

But unfortunately, it was too dark, and he could only make out his father’s silhouette vaguely.

Perhaps not accustomed to such an atmosphere, Ke Jun took a deep last drag of his cigarette, extinguished the butt with his foot, and stood up, patting Ke Jin on the shoulder.

“Alright stinker, keep an eye on the rods for me, I have a feeling we’ll catch a big one soon. I’m going to the toilet.”

As he spoke, he brushed past Ke Jin, turning towards the brightly lit area and walking away.

Ke Jin thought for a moment, then turned his head and asked,

“Dad, you just mentioned doing what we really want to do, can I make games?”

Ke Jun kept walking, didn’t turn his head, his voice firm and loud,

“I’ll break your legs.”

Ke Jin: “…”

Dad, your level of awareness isn’t quite there yet, is it?

You’ve become open-minded, but not completely open-minded, right?

Ke Jin, unable to hold back his wry smile, withdrew his gaze and looked towards the calm fishing rod.

In order to fish better at night, a tiny LED tube had been fitted onto the bobber, emitting a faint light, but clear enough to see the ripples around it.

Ke Jin stared attentively for a while.

There didn’t seem to be any movement at all, not even a sign that a big fish might be caught.

Forget it, his task wasn’t really to help fish. Watching the rod and whiling away time on his phone until Dad came back would be just fine.

Just as Ke Jin had taken out his smartphone,

he saw a conspicuous push notification.

[The blogger you follow, ‘Game Butler’ (username of the Game Supervisory Bureau), has posted a new update!]

[Long time no see, everyone! It’s Butler here, and as usual, it’s time to introduce the monthly gaming masterpiece. This time I bring you ‘Urban Skyline.’ This game…]

“Ah?”

Ke Jin’s expression became strange.

The official account… promoting Urban Skyline?

What’s going on?

He had followed the official account of the Game Supervisory Bureau since he started working on ‘Origin of Species.’

Because modifications to game laws would also be updated there, it was naturally correct for someone in the industry to stay on top of changes.

But the thing was, he had never had any interaction with the Bureau, and ‘Skyline’ was not exactly a blockbuster hit.

Why was it being recommended out of the blue?

As for the rest of the message, Ke Jin had no interest in reading further.

A sense of unease was lingering in his mind.

Moving on his thoughts, he summoned the system.

The moment the azure screen unfolded before him,

Ke Jin almost passed out from shock.

The system panel, which had shown a stagnant revenue for more than 14 days,

was now rocketing up at a maddening pace!!

On the real-time revenue panel, every time Ke Jin blinked, the figure jumped by several hundred yuan!

In just over ten seconds, it had already increased by ten thousand yuan!

The cumulative revenue had also reached the towering sum of 970,000 yuan, just one step away from breaking a million.

However, there were still a good three or four hours left until the task ended.

With the current trend, it would inevitably break a million yuan even if there were only half an hour left.

What the hell happened?

Was my ad panel hacked by cybercriminals?

A big win for the tycoon group?

But that’s not right, the ad frame is soldered together with the recharge program.

If someone wanted to make changes, they could only do it from the company’s main hub.

Confused, Ke Jin was about to call the company to ask about the situation.

Just then, Gou Chehua’s call came in.

Before Ke Jin could even speak, Gou Chehua could barely contain his excitement, laughing with joy.

“Congratulations, Mr. Ke! Our ‘Skyline’ revenues broke a million in just three hours! It’s simply miraculous!”

Over the phone, he could hear a group of employees in the background continuously cheering ‘Yay!’

Upon hearing the words ‘broke a million,’ Ke Jin nearly exploded, his eyebrows twitching as he tried to suppress his skyrocketing blood pressure and asked.

“Didn’t I remember that the ad panel is bound to the recharge interface? How did the players make their purchases? And what’s the deal with the official account’s promotion?”

“Uh… it’s like this.” Gou Chehua carefully narrated the entire situation to Ke Jin, emphasizing the process of the employees’ change in awareness.

Gou Chehua felt this was what the boss would love to hear the most, as no boss in the world would not want their employees to be highly loyal to the company.

Therefore, he described it in great detail, becoming more animated and excited as he spoke.

He was completely unaware of the increasingly heavy breathing on the other end of the phone.

Solid!

Riot solid!

After hearing the full process of the escalating situation, Ke Jin was seething with rage, nearly clenching his teeth to pieces.

Damn it… you guys…

What the hell!!

Who the hell asked you to take responsibility!

Report it to me! Come on, report it to me fiercely!!

As Ke Jin struggled to find words, his temper boiling,

he heard the employees’ playful laughter through the phone receiver.

“Mr. Ke, now that the game is selling well, is there a little reward? Heh heh.”

“It’s only you who’s anxious, would Mr. Ke ever short-change us?”

“Exactly!”

Amidst the employees’ teasing, Ke Jin’s forehead was throbbing non-stop.

He took a deep breath, forcing his emotions to settle, and squeezed out a tremulous smile in his voice.

“Alright, everyone come to a meeting at the company at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”

You want a reward, huh?

Tomorrow I’ll make sure to reward you thoroughly!
