The next day, ten in the morning.
Chen Mo had already eaten breakfast and was waiting in the experience store.
Yesterday, the entire afternoon, until the experience store closed at eight at night, there wasn't a single real player. They were all people looking for an internet cafe. After asking around and finding out that it was an experience store, and that it was five RMB per hour, they left quietly.
Of course, the fact that there wasn't a single customer in the store was also one of the reasons why they wanted to leave.
Chen Mo was starting to doubt his life. Did it have to be this difficult?
My game is going to shock the entire gaming industry, and now you're paying five RMB to try it out in advance? Return! No! Full! Enough!
Chen Mo wasn't happy about it, so he opened the store on time the next day.
He even specially prepared a cup for the first guest to receive a cup of coffee as a complimentary gift.
However, he also started to think, what if there weren't enough players for a week?
If Chen Mo didn't get enough feedback from the players, he would have no choice but to test it on the market and make changes as he went along.
Comparatively speaking, Chen Mo preferred to interact with the players face to face in the experience store.
As Chen Mo was deep in thought, a tall girl walked into the room.
She had long black hair and was about 1.72 meters tall, wearing heels. Luckily Chen Mo was sitting down, or else he would have felt a lot of pressure.
The girl wasn't bad looking, but she had an aura about her that made it seem like no one would come within five meters of her. Even a fly would be killed by her.
Basically, if you gave the girl a sword, she would be able to cosplay as Yazi from School's Revelation.
The girl looked around the store and locked her gaze on Chen Mo.
Chen Mo felt a chill down his spine as he said, "Hi."
The girl asked, "Is this the experience store? Just opened? "
Chen Mo nodded, "Yes, just opened yesterday."
The girl looked at the empty seats on the first floor, "It's a bit quiet, is no one here?"
Chen Mo was speechless.
Don't you know that life is hard? Wasn't it something that could be seen with a single glance? You're asking me if I can conjure a person out of thin air for you?
Or should I answer, "No, there's quite a lot of people, but you can't see them?"
Seeing that Chen Mo didn't respond, the girl asked again, "Is your price too high? Too few games? "
Chen Mo replied, "Five RMB per hour."
The girl with long black hair nodded. "As expected, your place is even more expensive than an internet cafe. No wonder no one comes here."
"…"
The girl with long black hair changed the topic. "However, your environment is quite quiet. It's not like some internet cafes that have a foul atmosphere. Alright, I also need some peace and quiet. Let's play for an hour. "
After the girl with long black hair finished speaking, she took out her ID card and swiped it on the bar counter. Then, she used her phone to scan the code and found a machine to sit down.
The internet cafes in this world were basically self-service. One only needed to swipe their ID card. Then, all the fees could be deducted directly by scanning the code on their phone. It was very convenient.
Chen Mo only realized what was going on after the girl sat down.
What? His first customer came just like that? Was it too sudden?
Chen Mo suppressed the joy in his heart as he made himself a cup of coffee and placed it on the table in front of the girl with long, straight black hair.
"This is?" the girl with long black hair asked.
Chen Mo replied, "Since you're my first customer, I'll give you a free cup of coffee."
The girl with long black hair raised her eyebrows. "Tsk tsk tsk, you opened yesterday and only got your first customer today. Manager, you sure have it rough. Sigh …"
"… I'll take the coffee away," said Chen Mo.
The girl with long black hair laughed. "Don't, just leave it. Store Manager, you're really something. You look so handsome, but why are you so petty? "
Chen Mo replied, "Hehe."
Chen Mo sat back at the bar counter and looked at the girl's information in the experience store's management.
Wen Lingwei, twenty-one years old.
At this age, she was most likely a student from a nearby university, probably in her second or third year.
Judging from the name, she seemed like a quiet girl, but why was her mouth so poisonous? Perhaps it was because she was pretty that everyone around her spoiled her …
Chen Mo didn't have a good first impression of Wen Lingwei after her sharp tongue, so he didn't pay her any more attention and went back to his own business.
However, Chen Mo was quite happy to have his first player.
Wen Lingwei turned on her computer. There was only one game on the desktop with an interesting icon. It was a dirty hand poking out of the ground, holding a small flower.
"Plants vs Zombies?"
Wen Lingwei felt that the name was a bit like Guan Gong vs Qin Qiong. It didn't match, but the name made her curious. How could plants fight zombies?
She double-clicked on the icon and started the game.
The logo of Thunderbolt Games flashed across.
Soon, a loading map appeared in front of Wen Lingwei. There was a road in the middle of the map. On the right side of the road, zombies had broken through the wall, and on the left side, various plants were waiting.
The entire map was clicked in. Although the zombies looked ugly, they weren't particularly disgusting. The plants, on the other hand, were round and had human-like features, which made them look cute.
"Hmm, it doesn't look bad."
Wen Lingwei was a bit surprised. She thought that a new experience store like this wouldn't be able to make a decent game from an unknown video game designer, but she was drawn in as soon as she entered the game.
The UI was filled with zombie-related elements, and the style of the UI was very similar to the tombstones. However, the tombstones didn't look out of place, but rather blended in with the trees and houses in the background.
The interface popped up, asking Wen Lingwei to register for the Thunderbolt Game Pass.
Wen Lingwei furrowed her eyebrows, feeling that it was a bit troublesome, but she registered anyway. However, she didn't fill in her phone number or ID number.
After registering, Wen Lingwei clicked on Let's Adventure at the top, and entered story mode.
A zombie's hand suddenly poked out of the ground in front of the tombstone, giving Wen Lingwei a fright.
"… What a weird hobby," Wen Lingwei complained, and entered the game.
The entire screen was a large piece of land, which looked like the backyard of a house. A green lawn spread out from left to right in the middle, taking up about a fifth of the space.
The beginner's guide was simple. An arrow appeared on the screen, telling Wen Lingwei to click on a card on the top. A green plant was drawn on the card, called the Peashooter.
Wen Lingwei clicked on the Peashooter and followed the instructions, planting it on the lawn.
At this moment, a small sun floated down from the top of the screen. Wen Lingwei followed the instructions and clicked on it, collecting twenty-five points of sunlight.
