Chapter 291 Too hot
Even after many years, Li Mu still believes that the most awesome feature of the Happy Farm game is that it can easily lower the IQ of all players.
Although this game does not last long, its addiction index is very high in the six months when it is most vigorous, even higher than that of most online games.
Moreover, the user range of this game is so wide and the age span is only large, which is even more shocking. From 7 to 70 years old, as long as users with basic computer operation capabilities, they will basically kill them.
Whether it is a middle school student who saves breakfast money online every day or a big boss who earns millions a day, once he plays this game, he is almost uncontrollably addicted to it. Internet elites like Mr. Li and Tan Yaocheng naturally cannot escape.
At this moment, Mr. Li was very annoyed. According to the time he recorded, Tan Yaocheng's previous wave of potatoes would have to wait at least one minute before harvesting. However, he did not expect that the six pieces of land in front of him had turned into corn seedlings. According to time, this batch of corn had been planted for several minutes.
Mr. Li calculated the time, it shouldn't be. How could this guy harvest that wave of potatoes nearly ten minutes in advance?
If you think about it carefully, the only way to accelerate maturity is to use props. Although there are ordinary fertilizers in the props, the system only gives away two packs. In addition, it is not open to purchases. Mr. Li hasn't even figured out where to get more fertilizers. Tan Yaocheng can shorten the maturity time for six pieces of land at a time, and at least six packs of ordinary fertilizers. Does he have any tips for getting fertilizers?
Mr. Li wanted to ask him, but he was embarrassed to call him. Although he knew that the other party must not be sleeping, it was really hard to say about the skills of calling him to ask him about a game.
However, seeing that Tam Yeocheng was promoted to another level and the gap was getting bigger and bigger, he couldn't help but take out his cell phone and called Tam Yeocheng.
When Tam Yaocheng received a call from Mr. Li, he asked, "Mr. Li. Is there anything wrong with this late?"
Mr. Li said: "What are you busy with? Have you rested?"
"Not yet." Tan Yaocheng said with a smile: "I'm playing that happy farm in the post bar. I think you're playing too."
Mr. Li smiled and said, "Yes, I'm paying attention to what new actions they have, so I played it casually. This game is very interesting and it's a good product."
Tam said with a smile: "Yes. It feels very innovative. It seems that this game will be popular soon."
Mr. Li nodded absent-mindedly, then asked curiously: "Oh, by the way, where do you get so many fertilizers in your game?"
Tan Yaocheng didn't expect that Mr. Li would ask such a question suddenly. After a moment of shock, he said, "It seems that he has the chance to get fertilizer by harvesting, stealing vegetables, and helping friends weeding, watering and killing insects. And the probability is quite high. I went to the post bar and added a lot of friends. In this way, the chance of getting fertilizer is even greater."
Mr. Li suddenly realized and said, "I understand, that's fine, it's getting late. You should also take a break early. Let's have a meeting tomorrow to discuss this game."
“Ok.”
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Li immediately began to search all the friends list from top to bottom, stole the vegetables several times, helped his friends' farm several times, and finally got two packs of ordinary fertilizers.
Mr. Li suddenly became interested and realized that he didn't have enough friends, so he immediately went around the post bar and found many people adding to each other as friends.
Growing vegetables, stealing vegetables, helping, and getting fertilizer. Mr. Li became excited as soon as he played, and played until nearly three o'clock in one go. Tan Yaocheng was even more cruel. In order to defend his first place, he sneaked into the bedroom with his laptop. While his wife was already asleep, he opened his eyes every half an hour, turned on the computer to collect vegetables and plant vegetables. After two or three times, he had formed a biological clock and could wake up automatically after squinting for half an hour.
Relying on this spirit of perseverance, Tan Yaocheng was the first to break through level 9 the next morning, two levels higher than the second place in the friend list.
Not only Tan Yaocheng and Mr. Li, but hundreds of thousands of netizens were addicted to Happy Farm that night, which was extremely popular.
In the legend, several people are teaming up to fight monsters. Among them, the Taoist priest who is responsible for recovering blood suddenly said: "Oh, brother, wait for me for two minutes, I'll go and collect some vegetables!"
"What's the matter? Where did you go to collect vegetables in the middle of the night?"
"Dan, you're not playing in the happy farm in the post bar?"
"What a happy farm! It's still legendary and exciting!"
"Oh, I won't tell you now. Just try it yourself. I'll go collect the vegetables first. If you want to steal those gangsters later, I'll let those gangsters steal it for me!"
Seeing that the nurse was temporarily offline, the others in the team were also curious: "What a happy farm, you can't even beat monsters and go to collect vegetables."
"Hey, it's not interesting that he's not here anyway. I'll go and have a look."
"Then I'll go too, go offline first, let's talk about it later."
Such scenes are repeated in any online game, and even card players playing cards in Lianzhong World often have situations where people don’t respond for a long time. Others are not aware of it, and the other party comes back after scolding them. Lianlian sorry that they were collecting vegetables just now or stealing vegetables. When everyone heard this, they went to register a post bar account and check out what the hell is this happy farm.
By nine o'clock the next morning, the number of users at Happy Farm had reached 1.7 million, which was a brutal speed.
Li Mu did not stay at Muye Technology until so late. He went back to rest at two o'clock. At nine o'clock in the morning, Kong Lingyu called Li Mu in ecstasy and told Li Mu that the amazing number of 1.7 million was almost shocked. Not to mention him, even Li Mu was almost shocked.
If an online game can have 1.7 million users in the first nine hours of its launch, then this online game will definitely be against the will. There has never been a game with this growth rate in China.
However, the things that so many online games have not been done by Li Mu using a simple and low-cost lash game, which made Kong Lingyu even more happy.
Li Mu calmed down a little and asked him: "How many times have you added friends?"
"Two million!" Kong Lingyu said: "Since the night, many people realized that this game needs to rely on more friends to get faster improvements, so everyone's enthusiasm for adding friends is very high."
The powerful social genes are what Li Mu really pursues. This game can greatly stimulate users to increase their demand for friends. Just like when QQ launched the function of finding friends, when male users used this function to add female netizens with cameras, once the product development targets the foundation of human nature, the product will definitely become popular.
However, Li Mu was also a little worried. Now most users add friends in Tieba and Tieba users. Many people even post in Tieba to ask each other to add friends to play on the farm. Therefore, Li Mu was worried that this kind of social friend relationship that was simply gathered through game relationships is not strong enough and is easily abandoned by users. So he told Kong Lingyu: "Tomorrow, a campaign will be launched, inviting ten friends, giving away five packs of ordinary synthetic fertilizers, reaching twenty people, and giving away fifteen packs."
Ordinary synthetic fertilizer is one of the props of Happy Farm. It is an upgraded version of ordinary fertilizer. Ordinary fertilizer can only reduce the growth time of crops for ten minutes, but the effect of ordinary synthetic fertilizers triples, which can reduce the growth time of crops for thirty minutes.
Originally, Li Mu was not prepared to use this kind of prop to motivate him so early, but he didn't want users to manage their connections on Happy Farm too utilitarian from the beginning, so they couldn't let them manage their friends on the farm just for the sake of the game, and they wanted to encourage them to add friends in their lives as well.
The task of inviting friends is to ask users to invite new users. It is invalid for new users to add friends to each other in Tieba. In this summary, the first choice of users is to invite friends around them and first transplant their relationships in their lives and social relationships to Happy Farm, which is also the most feasible for users.
Kong Lingyu can see from the data how hard users worked to get ordinary fertilizers in the nine hours after they went online. If the reward was announced, most users would probably try their best to complete it with all their strength.
However, whether it is five or fifteen packs of ordinary synthetic fertilizers, for Muye Technology, this virtual prop can be said to be zero cost, but it has a surprisingly powerful effect on users.
At half past nine, Mr. Li came to the company with a pair of panda eyes. Today was his first time to be late for work. The reason was very simple: he stole the vegetables until too late last night.
The first thing he did when he arrived at the company was to turn on the computer, which was basically a routine practice. However, after the computer was turned on, he did not check the intranet used for work reports within the company, but opened the post bar first. He planted a wave of dishes before going out, which had been more than ten minutes of maturity.
When I went up, I saw that only 40% of the stolen were left. These friends were like rats, too much damage. Basically, if they couldn't get it right at the first time, even if they played for ten seconds, they would be stolen to the lowest limit.
After collecting the vegetables, he then planted another wave. Mr. Li felt as if he had completed the task. He breathed a sigh of relief. He realized that he had become addicted to this game. From getting up to now, he had only one thing in mind: playing in a happy farm, growing vegetables, and stealing vegetables, which always made him feel itchy.
It was also at this moment that he truly realized how amazing the future development space of this game is.
It was also at this moment that he truly understood why Li Mu had to invite himself out of Muye Technology.
The development of this game takes time. Although I have never made a game, I also understand the general process of the game. At the beginning, I have to come up with the game architecture, just like a movie script that needs to be continuously modified to obtain a final version, and then the team develops it. After the development is completed, it will be tested internally to find various errors and vulnerabilities. Only after the internal test is passed will it be launched to face the majority of users.
After calculating the workload in this, Li Mu should have started developing this game before he fooled him.
This is the first time I have seen the game that has been working on the Internet for so long, but people are addicted to it so quickly. Mr. Li felt very sad and thought to himself that Li Mu is indeed cruel enough. Now it seems that his losses this time are really too great. (To be continued.)
