"Plants vs Zombies." Wen Lingwei didn't even turn her head, her attention still on the computer screen.
"Plants vs … Zombies?" Jia Peng thought the name was pretty straightforward. On the left side of the screen were plants, and on the right side were zombies. Wasn't that Plants vs Zombies?
The cute girl Chang Xiuya looked at the plants on the screen, "Eh? This mushroom is so cute, and so is this nut. It's so interesting! "
"Be careful, the zombie is eating your nut!" a girl reminded her.
Wen Lingwei wasn't flustered at all. She had been through hundreds of battles, so she could easily handle this kind of small situation. She gathered enough sunlight and placed a cherry bomb in a large pile of zombies. With a "boom" sound, all the zombies turned into black charcoal.
Chang Xiuya exclaimed, "Wow, senior, you're so good!"
Wen Lingwei didn't look proud at all, "It's basic mechanics, low profile, low profile."
Although she didn't show it on her face, she was actually quite proud of herself.
Although the game looked simple, there was still a certain degree of difficulty in the middle and late stages, which often made her a little flustered.
However, Wen Lingwei was getting more and more familiar with the game, and normal emergency situations were no longer a problem for her.
Chang Xiuya said, "Senior, it looks really fun. I want to play too."
Wen Lingwei said, "You can play, you guys can just turn on a computer. It's on the computer."
Chang Xiuya looked at the others behind her, "I want to play, do you guys want to play?"
Jia Peng said, "I want to try too, it's pretty fun."
The others also said, "Let's play together, we're already here."
The ten of them swiped their IDs at the front desk and sat down on a computer. There were eighteen computers on the first floor of Chen Mo's shop, and the ten of them took up eleven of them. The entire first floor was bustling with activity.
Jia Peng, Chang Xiuya, and the others also entered the game and registered their accounts.
"Hmm, looks like you can add friends. Isn't this a single player game?"
"Yeah, what's the point of adding friends?"
"There'll probably be an internet connection function in the future. Right now it's just a simple ranking function. Let's add each other first, let's see who's faster. "
"Wow, Miss Wen's already at the third level! You're indeed the director! "
Plants vs Zombies was a game suitable for both young and old, and for both genders. Although its graphics were a bit cartoonish, it covered all ages.
The reason why everyone was playing was because Plants vs Zombies was really fun, and there was a certain level of novelty to it. The other reason was because Wen Lingwei was the pioneer.
When most people in a small group were playing the same thing, some individuals would also participate. Otherwise, there would be a feeling of isolation.
This was also a type of herd mentality, so even if some of these people didn't have a good first impression of Plants vs Zombies, they would still choose to try it out.
Soon, these people were also fascinated.
Jia Peng's gaming talent was the highest and he progressed the fastest. Basically, he did not get stuck in any of the previous stages and pushed his way through. Chang Xiuya's opponent was a little stupid, but she played very seriously. Whenever she encountered a zombie that she couldn't beat, she would ask Jia Peng how to deal with it. She also had a lot of fun.
The others were the same. They were all mesmerized by the new gameplay of Plants vs Zombies, and couldn't stop playing level after level!
At this point, Chen Mo had a pretty good idea.
Although the sample size of ten wasn't a lot, there were both men and women in the group, and they all had different personalities. Since they were all mesmerized by the game, it meant that Plants vs Zombies was quite popular among young people.
This was the best news for Chen Mo.
For games, the most important demographic was the younger generation, as they would always be the majority of users. These people had the most free time, were the most active, and had a more advanced consumer mentality. If a game could become popular among the younger generation, then it would definitely be able to spread to other age groups.
On the other hand, if it couldn't capture the attention of the younger generation, and was only popular among a certain age group, then it would be very difficult for the game to succeed.
Moreover, these people were still very focused after playing for two hours, and didn't raise any questions or comments. This meant that Chen Mo's difficulty settings were very reasonable, basically recreating the original Plants vs Zombies from his previous life.
Chen Mo had been worried about the difficulty and difficulty settings, but it seemed like he could relax now. The difficulty was moderate, and the balance between the plants and zombies was pretty good.
Before he knew it, it was already five thirty in the afternoon.
Jia Peng finished another level, and looked at his watch to see that it was already five thirty at night. He looked at the others, including Wen Lingwei, who were still playing, and didn't look like they wanted to leave.
"Senior, it's already five thirty, how are we eating dinner?" asked Jia Peng.
The others also raised their heads to look at Wen Lingwei.
Wen Lingwei blinked a few times, then said, "Should we … order … takeout?"
Jia Peng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Senior, didn't we say we could have dinner together tonight?"
Wen Lingwei looked at the screen, conflicted. This level was quite difficult, and she had tried it three times already. She was a bit tired after playing for the whole day, and wanted to take a break.
Moreover, the whole group of people from the marketing department couldn't possibly order takeout, could they? They had to eat at a restaurant no matter what.
"Alright, I'll give you ten minutes to finish this level if you haven't finished yet. If you're done, don't start again. We'll have dinner together in a bit," said Wen Lingwei.
"Alright!" Everyone agreed.
Most of them were still a bit worried. If Wen Lingwei really said "let's order takeout", that would be a pain in the ass. The entire marketing department eating takeout in the experience store? If word got out, they'd probably be laughed at by the student council until they graduated.
The students who had finished the level logged out of the game and began to chat about what they learned from the game.
"I think the Firewood Stakes are really useful, the buffs are really obvious. Planting a Firewood Stake and adding a few more Peashooters, the damage would be insane."
"But your Firewood Stakes can only buff the Peashooters, and the Peashooters aren't that great of a choice in the later stages. They're too simplistic."
"I think Night Mode is really hard … especially those tombstones. They're so annoying and take up space."
"That's why it's interesting. How would it be challenging if the difficulty didn't increase at all?"
"You don't say, this game is quite magical. I can't stop at all."
These people exchanged their thoughts as they scrolled through the leaderboards. A few students at the top of the leaderboards also became the focus, sharing their thoughts.
