291 Too Hot
Even after many years, Li Mu still believes that the most powerful feature of the game Happy Farm is that it can easily lower the IQ of all players.
Although this game has a short lifespan, in its most vigorous half year, its addiction index was very high, even higher than most online games.
Moreover, this game has a wide range of users and only a large age span, which is even more jaw-dropping. From 7 to 70 years old, as long as users with basic computer operation ability are basically killed.
Whether it's a middle school student who saves money for breakfast online every day, or a big boss who makes millions a day, once they play this game, they are almost uncontrollably addicted, and Internet elites like President Li and Tan Yaocheng can't 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 to harvest. However, he did not expect that the six fields in front of him had become corn seedlings. In time, this batch of corn has 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 earlier?
Thinking about it carefully, the only way to speed up the maturation is to use props. Although there are ordinary fertilizers in the props, the system only gives away two packs. Other than that, it is not open for purchase. Mr. Li has not even figured out where he can get more fertilizers. With a lot of fertilizers, Tan Yaocheng can shorten the ripening time for six plots at a time, at least six packs of ordinary fertilizers, does he have any tricks to get fertilizers?
President Li really wanted to ask him, but he was too embarrassed to call him all of a sudden. Although he knew that the other party was definitely not asleep, it was really difficult to call him to ask him about a game skill.
However, seeing that this guy Tan Yaocheng has been promoted again. As the gap widened, he couldn't hold back and took out his phone. Call Tan Yaocheng.
Tan Yaocheng received a call from President Li and asked, "President Li. What's the matter so late?"
Mr. Li said, "What are you busy with, have you rested yet?"
"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 laughed and said, "Yes, pay attention to what new moves they have, so I also played it. This game is very interesting, and it is a good product."
Tan Yaocheng smiled and said, "Yes. It feels very innovative. It seems that this game will be popular soon."
President Li absentmindedly hummed, and then pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh right,
Where do you get so much fertilizer in your game? "
Tan Yaocheng did not expect that Mr. Li would suddenly ask such a question, and after a moment of stunned, he said, "It seems that harvesting, turning over the ground, stealing vegetables, and helping friends weeds, waters and kills insects all have the opportunity to get fertilizer, and the probability is quite high, I I went to the post bar and added a lot of friends, so I would have a better chance of getting fertilizer."
Mr. Li suddenly realized. Busy said: "I understand, that's okay, it's getting late. You also have to rest early. We will have a meeting tomorrow to discuss this game."
"Ok."
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Li immediately began to search through his friends list from top to bottom, stole several vegetables, and helped his friend's farm several times, and finally got two bags of ordinary fertilizer.
Mr. Li became interested and realized that he didn't have enough friends, so he immediately went to the post bar and found a lot of people to add to each other as friends.
Growing vegetables, stealing vegetables, helping, and making fertilizers. President Li picked up his energy as soon as he played, and played until nearly three o'clock in one breath. And Tan Yaocheng is even more ruthless, in order to keep his first place throne. He sneaked into the bedroom with his notebook, and while his wife was asleep, he opened his eyes every half an hour, turned on the computer to collect vegetables and planted vegetables. After two or three times, his biological clock had formed, and he would wake up automatically after squinting for half an hour.
Relying on this perseverance, Tan Yaocheng was the first to break through level 9 on the next morning, two levels higher than the second in the friend list.
Not only Tan Yaocheng and President Li, but also hundreds of thousands of netizens were addicted to Happy Farm that night, which was extremely popular.
In the legend, several people are forming a team to fight monsters, and the Taoist priest who is responsible for restoring blood suddenly said: "Oh, wait for me for two minutes, I'll go get a dish!"
"What is it? Where do you go to collect food in the middle of the night?"
"Day, the happy farm in the post bar, you haven't played?"
"What a happy farm! It's still a legend!"
"Oh, I won't tell you first, you will find out if you have time to try it yourself. I will go to collect the food first, and I will let those bastards steal it for me later!"
Seeing that the nanny was temporarily offline, the others in the team were also a little curious: "What kind of happy farm, don't even brush the blame and go to collect the vegetables."
"Hey, it doesn't matter if he's not here anyway, I'll go take a look."
"Then I'll go too, go offline first, and talk about it later."
This kind of scene is repeated in any online game, and even the poker players in the Lianzhong world often do not respond for a long time. Lianlian apologized and said that he was collecting vegetables or stealing vegetables just now. When everyone heard it, they all ran to register a post bar account to go around and see what the hell this Happy Farm was.
By 9:00 the next morning, Happy Farm had 1.7 million users, which was atrocious.
Li Mu didn't stay so late at Muye Technology, so he went back to rest at two o'clock. At nine o'clock in the morning, Kong Lingyu called Li Mu ecstatically and told Li Mu that 1.7 million was an astonishing number, not to mention him, even Li Mu Almost shocked.
If any online game can have 1.7 million users in the first nine hours of its launch, then this online game will definitely go against the sky. Games with such a growth rate have not yet appeared in China.
However, what so many online games failed to do, was accomplished by Li Mu with a simple and low-cost flash game, which made Kong Lingyu even more delighted.
Li Mu calmed down a little and asked him, "How many times have you added friends?"
"12 million!" Kong Lingyu said: "From the night, many people realized that this game needs to rely on more friends to get faster improvement, so everyone's enthusiasm for adding friends is very high."
Powerful social genes, this is what Li Mu really pursues. This game can greatly stimulate users' needs to increase friends. Just like in a certain period of time, when QQ launched the function of finding friends to select users with cameras, males Users frantically use this function to add female netizens with cameras. Once the product development aims at the fundamentals of human nature, then this product will definitely become popular.
However, Li Mu is also a little worried. Now most users add friends to each other in Tieba, and many people even post in Tieba asking for friends to play on the farm. Therefore, Li Mu is worried about this purely game-based relationship. The social friends gathered together are not strong enough and are easily abandoned by users, so he said to Kong Lingyu: "Tomorrow, Lingdian will launch an event, invite friends to ten people, and give five packs of ordinary synthetic fertilizers. If you reach twenty people, you will give fifteen Bag."
Ordinary synthetic fertilizer is one of Happy Farm props. It is an upgraded version of ordinary fertilizer. Ordinary fertilizer can only reduce the growth time of crops by 10 minutes, but the effect of ordinary synthetic fertilizer is tripled, which can reduce the growth of crops by 30 minutes. time.
Originally, Li Mu didn't plan to use this kind of prop incentive so early, but he didn't want users to manage their network on Happy Farm too utilitarian from the beginning, and they couldn't let them manage their friends on the farm so that everything was for the game. Make it up on a whim, and encourage them to add their friends in life.
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. Under these circumstances, the first choice of users must be to invite friends around them. First, transplant their social relationships to Come to Happy Farm, which is also the most feasible for users.
Kong Lingyu can see from the data how hard users have worked to get ordinary fertilizers in the nine hours since the launch. If this reward is announced, I am afraid that the vast majority of users will try their best to complete it.
However, whether it is five packs or fifteen packs of ordinary synthetic fertilizers, for Muye Technology, this kind of virtual prop can be said to have zero cost, but the incentive it brings to users is amazing.
At 9:30, Mr. Li came to the company with a pair of panda eyes. Today was the first time he was late for work. The reason was very simple: he was too late for stealing food last night.
The first thing he did when he arrived at the company was to turn on the computer. After planting a wave of vegetables, it has exceeded the maturity period for ten minutes.
I went up to take a look, and sure enough, only 40% were stolen again. These friends are just like mice. It's too bad. Basically, if you can't harvest it in the first time, even if you play for ten seconds, you will be stolen to the bottom. the result of.
After collecting the vegetables, another wave of planting followed. Mr. Li also felt as if he had completed the task, and he was relieved. Only then did he realize that he had become addicted to this game to such a degree that from waking up to now, his mind was full of There is only one thing to think about: the special sense of accomplishment of having fun on the farm, growing vegetables and stealing vegetables, has always made him feel itchy.
It was also at this moment that he really realized how amazing the future development space of this game is.
It was also at this moment that he really understood why Li Mu invited himself out of Muye Technology.
The development of this game takes time. Although I have never made a game myself, I understand the general process of the game. At the beginning, the game structure needs to be developed, just like a movie script. After continuous revision, a final version is obtained, and then the team develops , After the development is completed, the internal test is required to find various errors and loopholes. After the internal test is passed, it will be launched to face the majority of users.
Calculating the amount of work involved, Li Mu should have started developing this game before he fooled himself.
I have been on the Internet for so long, but it is the first time I have seen a game that can make people addicted to it so quickly. Mr. Li was very sad, and he thought to himself that this kid Li Mu is really ruthless. Now it seems that this time he The loss is really too great. (To be continued.)
