Everyone had vanity.
This was even more so on the Internet.
In fact, the vegetable stealing game itself had a vanity component. It didn't seem obvious, but it did exist.
For example, it could grow more advanced vegetables.
In order to grow more advanced vegetables quickly, many uncles and aunties spent money on fertilizer.
This was the same as the level of online games. The higher the level, the more vanity.
Now that the vegetable stealing game incorporated prop dogs into the game, this vanity was brought to the extreme.
Therefore, at first, some people only bought ordinary level one dogs.
However, gradually, Level 2 dogs and Level 3 dogs started appearing one after another.
As for level four and level five dogs, there were also rich people who spent a lot of money to buy a shiny Wang Cai dog.
Speaking of which, this was actually the same as the environment in China at that time.
Before online games came out, computers were operated by people who needed to work.
After online games came out, all the ordinary people entered it.
As for the reason?
Damn, who could resist the temptation of all kinds of equipment and levels in online games?
This was the same for the uncles and aunties who had been stealing vegetables in North America.
After seeing so many awesome high-level dogs, how could these uncles and aunties stand it?
Those who didn't have money and borrowed money had to pretend to be rich.
If you have money, you should just buy a high-level dog.
Of course, it wasn't all about vanity.
Some people bought high-level prop dogs to show off their strength.
For example, those who wanted to chase girls.
The friend network itself was a very interactive social platform, so it was also very convenient for him to chase girls.
But before that, if you wanted to chase girls, you had to use some methods.
You had to chat with her, steal vegetables with her, and play with her.
But now, everything had become much simpler.
If you were capable enough, you could buy a high-level prop dog.
Whether you were capable or not, the girls would know at a glance.
Just like the first user who bought a level five dog. A level five dog was about 100,000 USD.
Under normal circumstances, no one would spend so much money to buy a level five dog.
But that rich person bought it.
And after the purchase, a series of benefits followed.
Zach, the founder of Facebook, was also dumbfounded by this.
He didn't expect that prop dogs could be used like this.
In the beginning, he was the same as everyone else. He thought that whoever spent a lot of money on a high-class dog was an idiot. However, the series of events that followed was something he had never seen before. In order to personally experience the various benefits of buying a high-level dog, Zach even personally recharged 100,000 US dollars to buy a level 5 dog.
It was just as the rumors said.
Ten minutes after he bought the Level 5 dog, dozens of girls had sent him private messages.
Some of them even sent him private photos.
Among them, there were also some girls that he had once thought were prideful and arrogant.
In the outside world, she was everyone's goddess.
But who would have thought …
Just by thinking about it, Zach felt that this setting was extremely powerful.
If this was the result after spending 100,000 US dollars, Zhang Zian wondered what kind of charm the Level 6 and Level 7 dogs had.
If he really bought a Level 6 or Level 7 dog, those girls would definitely throw themselves at him.
However, Zach did not throw in any more money.
He was willing to spend $100,000, but if he spent $1,000,000 on a Level 6 dog, he would be an idiot.
But even if he didn't, someone else would.
A user with the username "Coca Cola" spent $1,000,000 to buy a Level 6 dog.
Yes.
That's right.
This was the Level 6 dog that Coca Cola spent money on. The purpose of buying the dog was not because Coca Cola also liked to steal vegetables.
Although many people in their company liked to steal vegetables.
More importantly, the purpose of buying a Level 6 dog was to advertise.
"Damn, there's actually such a thing."
"One million US dollars for Coca Cola to do a world-class advertisement."
"I want to say, Coca Cola, well done."
One million US dollars for a series of advertisements that would cause a sensation in North America, no, in Europe and the United States. Was it worth it?
Needless to say, compared to those hard advertisements, the effect of this wave of buying a pet dog to get on the list was simply several times better.
It was said that when Coca Cola reached the top that day, many users on Facebook wanted to buy a bottle of Coca Cola.
Drinking Coca Cola and going on Facebook at the same time. This seemed to be a good match.
Of course, this was commercial in nature.
For an ordinary user to spend 100,000 US dollars on a Level 5 dog was already very impressive.
To many ordinary people, this was already considered a nouveau riche.
What would you do to a nouveau riche?
Perhaps sometimes, many people would hate the nouveau riche, just like how they hated the rich second generation.
But this was not the reality.
If you found out that the person beside you was a nouveau riche, many people would become friends with the nouveau riche.
Of course, because some nouveau riche joined in, it also stimulated the popularity of stealing vegetables.
Whether it was to become friends with the nouveau riche, to watch the nouveau riche, or even to have other motives, the popularity of stealing vegetables became even more intense than before.
…
"Weichi, let's immediately adjust the settings of our prop dogs."
When Zach realized this, he immediately said to his classmate.
Previously, he thought that it was a good setting to start at 1 US dollars and not exceed 100 US dollars.
But compared to Wechat's Stealing Vegetables, Facebook's Facebook Farm was simply crushed.
In the beginning, many Facebook users thought that Facebook Farm was creative, and many people were playing Facebook Farm.
But when they saw that Facebook Farm's dogs only cost 1 US dollar, they lost all interest.
Nowadays, people bought prop dogs not only for interaction, but also as part of social interaction.
It was like wearing what kind of clothes and driving what kind of car.
Being on social media represented you. If you were to drive such a cheap dog, you would feel embarrassed.
But what Zach didn't know was that it would have been better if he didn't change the settings. Once he changed the settings, Facebook Farm suffered a disaster.
The reason was simple.
Facebook Farm's prop dogs were as expensive as Stealing Vegetables on Wechat's Stealing Vegetables. Why not buy a prop dog from Wechat's Stealing Vegetables?
There were more users, more players, and more friends in their circle.
It was normal to buy a few slightly more advanced dogs in one's social circle.
On the contrary, spending more money on the Facebook farm would make him look foolish.
"Sigh, I originally thought that Facebook Farm was a little innovative and wanted to play for a while. Now, it seems like I should forget about it."
"It's really copying Wechat's Stealing Vegetables every day. It doesn't have any opinions of its own. Bad review."
"Wechat's level 1 dog is so shady, Facebook is shady too. Since it's so shady, I'll go to Wechat … "
The Internet had always been dominated by the strong.
Not to mention such a social networking site.
Originally, Facebook was far inferior to Wechat, but with the support of Yahoo, it could more or less hold on.
But what no one expected was that …
Facebook Farm, which looked so innovative, actually collapsed in an instant …
A series of Facebook Farm users basically flowed into Wechat's Wechat.
