Chapter 1319 "Plants Vs. Zombies Online"

"Plants vs. Zombies Online" is "Plants vs. Zombies" modified by Li Mu. On the basis of keeping everything in the original version of "Plants vs. Zombies", the game has been onlineized. Although it is online, Li Mu did not put it online. To develop in the direction of traditional online games, but to make it a social game.

The entire gameplay logic is similar to "Happy Farm" and the later overseas version "Paradise Town". Friends can steal from each other or help each other. In "Plants vs. Zombies Online", friends help and cooperate with each other. The space is much larger than that of "Paradise Town". In "Paradise Town", friends can help on the farm, help with tasks, and make deals with each other. In "Plants vs. Zombies Online" , friends can not only do everything that can be done in "Paradise Town", but most importantly, they can also help friends defend against zombie attacks, and even break through levels with teammates!

Li Mu firmly believes that the level and depth of friend interaction in "Plants vs. Zombies Online" is more than one level deeper than "Paradise Town", and this game will definitely play a stronger social promotion role than "Paradise Town".

More importantly, history has proved that "Plants vs. Zombies" is far more fun than "Happy Farm", because "Plants vs. Zombies" has always been the most fun tower defense game in Li Mu's mind. In a previous life, this game came out. At that time, it immediately swept the world and became a phenomenon-level game in the true sense. If "Happy Farm" is compared to "Legend", which has been popular in China, then "Plants vs. Zombies" is comparable to "World of Warcraft". exist.

Therefore, Li Mu has absolute confidence that as soon as "Plants vs. Zombies Online" is launched, users around the world are immediately fascinated by it, and it immediately triggers a super popularity of a phenomenon-level game in the world.

Li Mu did not put "Plants vs. Zombies Online" online before, because it was necessary to wait for the data processing centers in various places to take shape before they could provide enough bandwidth support for the game's global operations. Li Mu once again put it at the bottom of the box when it was released, and the reason why he didn't take it out was to take it out again during the SARS period to divert the attention of the world's people.

After all, he is a person who has been reborn once. Li Mu knows how serious the foreign media's negative reports on Huaxia in his previous life. In his previous life, the damage caused by SARS to the image of Huaxia International was far beyond the imagination of many people. Foreign media seized the opportunity to smear Huaxia's international image, so his plan was, didn't these media want to brainwash the people? Okay, I will use a more brainwashing game to make these media completely unwashed!

Imagine if the media said to a person who set the alarm clock to get up at three in the morning to collect food: "Hey, there is an outbreak of an infectious disease on the other side of the earth, it is very scary, you may be infected at any time, and the culprit is a certain country. ", what kind of response will this person give him? I don't even sleep for stealing vegetables, can I fucking control you when you tell me about the other side of the world?

Kong Lingyu and Fang Xudong quickly understood Li Mu's intentions. Governments all over the world like to divert people's attention. Take the United States as an example. When the domestic unemployment rate is high, the economic situation is severe, and the subprime mortgage crisis is present, the government will do some overseas work. Action, tell the people that they are defending world peace in Afghanistan and Iraq, and then tell them, look, far away on the other side of the earth in Huaxia, the smog is serious now, how serious is it? You see, the reporter in front was looking for a car on the street, and when he touched it with his hand, there was a thick layer of dust!

People are confused by this information, and it is easy to ignore what they are paying attention to and shift their attention from their surroundings to overseas. This is the standard operation of diverting attention, just like a fighter jet is released when it is locked by a missile. Jamming rounds, chaff thrown all over the sky, interfere with the focus of the missile, allowing the main body of the fighter to escape from the threat of the missile.

As big as a national government, or as small as a derailed star, they are all well versed in this kind of distraction operation, and Li Mu is also the same.

What Li Mu wants is to push this game in front of every user and let them indulge in it in a short period of time. Once they become addicted, they will focus on the rest of the time except for the necessary daily eating, drinking and work. When it comes to games, they don't have the energy to pay attention to what's going on abroad. By the time they recover from their addiction, the SARS epidemic may have been brought under control.

Moreover, there is another point that is somewhat metaphysical, but also very reasonable, that is, games can make people feel relaxed and happy. When they are in a good mood, people will become more optimistic. On the premise of being in a good mood and optimistic The possibility of instilling conspiracy theories and threat theories in them is greatly weakened, and it may even lead to rejection.

In order to ensure that "Plants vs. Zombies Online" can achieve the desired effect, Li Mu asked Fang Xudong many times whether he could ensure the stable global operation of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" at this stage. Fang Xudong gave Li Mu a very clear answer. :

"Mr. Li, our data processing center has begun to take shape, and it is not a problem to meet the data requirements of this game, and the bandwidth and servers of our YY, YY network, and YY game hall are independent, and each has certain requirements. If the number of users of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" is too large, we can also immediately use the redundant bandwidth of other products, in short, we can ensure the normal online and stable operation of the game!"

Li Mu was completely relieved at this moment, and said, "This game is of great significance, all departments must cooperate closely, and there must be no problems with the game. This is our second game that has become popular all over the world, and it is a There are explosive games with at least a three-year peak life cycle, and if you operate this game to the extreme, Makino Technology can be listed on NASDAQ!"

Li Mu's ambition made other people a little unbelievable. "Plants vs. Zombies Online" is indeed a very good game. It can be said that it has created a brand new game mode, and it closely integrates the game with YY, Combine it with friends, but this game is not an online game in the true sense after all. Its core operation is free. In this era when the game mostly relies on point cards to make money, the profit margin of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" is really difficult to give. Man's huge imagination.

For Li Mu, he is very clear about the future development trajectory of the game. Games that really make money will gradually become free online games. Free games can greatly reduce the entry threshold for users. First, a large number of users can be installed with zero threshold. Then use the game itself to strengthen the stickiness of this large number of free players, and after the stickiness of free players is cultivated, use some additional products and corresponding operations in the game to attract users to pay.

Although King of Glory and League of Legends are both free games, the daily turnover of selling skins exceeds 100 million. This is Li Mu's development plan for "Plants vs. Zombies Online". Therefore, in Li Mu's modified "Plants vs. Zombies Online" , In addition to playing the game for free, in the online mode, the planted plants can be accelerated by purchasing various props.

In addition, Li Mu has also launched various decorative skins in this game, such as users can dress up their villas and backyards for planting plants, and plants with various functions have a large number of different types of skins. Skin, even the most common pea shooter has more than 30 different skins and dressing modes. These skins, like YY show, are completely free to choose by users.

Li Mu believes that through the refined operation of "Plants vs. Zombies Online", as well as the continuous upgrade and innovation in the future, it will definitely be able to inject super and super long-term vitality into this game, and raise the overall level of Muye Technology again.

...

March 20.

Overseas users have all received pop-up prompts from YY.

In this pop-up window, YY launched SARS-specific pages in various languages, and published various accurate and proven information gathered, allowing overseas users to get a very important piece of information:

Although the current form of SARS is relatively severe, it is by no means distorting the facts as reported by their domestic media. YY.com has released the latest and most detailed current situation of the epidemic, and users can think and judge objectively through these data.

Moreover, at present, the Huaxia government has attached great importance to the SARS epidemic, and is making every effort to curb the development of SARS in China, and seek a way to completely eliminate it, so overseas people do not need to complain and hate China, but should let go of all We hope that this epidemic can be completely defeated.

In this special page, Li Mu recorded a short video. In the video, he sat in his office and said to the camera in English: "I hope YY users around the world and people around the world can look at it with a correct eye. This epidemic in Asia, in Asia, the governments of China and neighboring countries are actively responding to the epidemic and making every effort to prevent the harm that the epidemic may bring to the people;"

"At the same time, I also believe that in the face of disease, people all over the world should stand on the same front. After all, any kind of disease is not an enemy faced by a country or a nation alone, but all mankind must face together. enemy;"

"In the long history of the past, mankind discovered antibiotics, found a method for organ transplantation, and finally defeated smallpox. These are victories that belong to the people of the world, and the people of the world are enjoying the fruits of this victory;"

"Now, there are still many diseases in front of mankind waiting to be overcome by the joint efforts of all mankind, whether it is cancer, AIDS, or various diseases that are still tormenting mankind and taking away human health and life, which of course also includes Asia now. When SARS happened, medical workers all over the world are working hard to overcome SARS, let us hope that they can win this war in the near future."

Having said this, Li Mu paused, his expression suddenly became relaxed, and said with a smile: "Muye Technology has prepared a brand-new social game for YY users all over the world, this game has more advantages than "Paradise Town" More fun and exciting game mode, also has a more in-depth and interesting interactive experience with friends than "Paradise Town", please pay attention to YY, this game will be officially launched at 21:00 on March 20th, Yanjing time!
