"Plants vs. Zombies Online" is Li Mumo's "Plants vs. Zombies", on the basis of retaining everything from the original "Plants vs. Zombies", this game has been online, although it is online, but Li Mu did not develop it in the direction of traditional online games, but made it a social game.

The whole gameplay logic is similar to that of "Happy Farm" and the overseas version of "Paradise Town" that was later launched, friends can steal from each other, and they can also help each other, and on "Plants vs. Zombies Online", friends can help each other and cooperate much more than "Paradise Town", in "Paradise Town", friends can help each other on the farm, help on tasks, and trade with each other. Everything you can do in Paradise Town, and most importantly, help your friends fend off zombie attacks and even fight with your teammates!

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

What's more, history proves 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 the last life, when this game came out, it immediately swept the world and became a real phenomenon-level game, if "Happy Farm" is compared to the "Legend" that has been popular in China, then "Plants vs. Zombies" is comparable to the existence of "World of Warcraft".

Therefore, Li Mu has absolute confidence that once "Plants vs. Zombies Online" was launched, it immediately made users around the world crazy and obsessed with it, and immediately triggered a phenomenal game around the world.

Li Mu pressed "Plants vs. Zombies Online" not to be launched before, because it was necessary to wait for the data processing centers in various places to take shape before it could provide sufficient bandwidth support for the global operation of this game, but when this game had the conditions for global distribution, Li Mu once again pressed it to the bottom of the box, and the reason why he didn't take it out was to take it out again during the SARS period and divert the attention of the people around the world.

After all, he is a person who has been reborn once, Li Mu knows how serious the negative reports of foreign media on Huaxia were in his previous life, and in his previous life, the damage brought by SARS to Huaxia's international image is far beyond the imagination of many people, this time, Li Mu said that he can't let foreign media seize the opportunity to smear Huaxia's international image, so his plan is, don't these media want to brainwash the people? Okay, Lao Tzu will use a more brainwashing game to make these media completely unwashed!

Just imagine, if the media said to a person who has an alarm clock at 3 a.m. to get up to collect food: "Hey, there is an outbreak of an infectious disease on the other side of the world, which 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? Lao Tzu doesn't even sleep himself in order to steal vegetables, you tell me about the other side of the world, can I care?

Kong Lingyu and Fang Xudong quickly understood Li Mu's intentions, and all governments like to divert the attention of their citizens, taking the United States as an example, when the domestic unemployment rate was high, the economic situation was grim, and the subprime mortgage crisis, the government made some moves overseas, telling the people that they were defending world peace in Afghanistan and Iraq, and then told them, look, far away in China on the other side of the earth, the smog is now serious, how serious is it? You see, the reporter in front of the front is looking for a car on the street at random, and when he touches it with his hand, there is a thick layer of dust!

Surrounded by this information, it is easy for people to ignore what they are paying attention to and shift their attention from their side to overseas, which is the standard operation of diverting attention, just like the jamming bombs released by the fighter plane when it is locked by the missile, and the chaff thrown all over the sky will interfere with the focus of the missile, so that the main body of the fighter can escape from the threat of the missile.

From a national government to a cheating star, they are all well versed in this kind of distraction operation, and Li Mu is the same.

What Li Mu wants is to push this game to every user, so that they can indulge in it in a short period of time, once they are addicted, in addition to the daily necessities of eating, drinking, Lazar and work, the rest of the time will focus on the game, and they have no energy to pay attention to what is happening abroad, and when they are relieved from addiction, the SARS epidemic may have been controlled.

Moreover, there is a somewhat metaphysical, but very reasonable point, that is, games can make people relax and happy, and when they are in a good mood, they will become much more optimistic, and under the premise of being in a good mood and optimistic, the possibility of instilling conspiracy theories and threat theories in them will be weakened a lot, and if they are not good, they will also cause rejection.

In order to ensure that "Plants vs. Zombies Online" can play the effect he wants, Li Mu asked Fang Xudong many times whether he can ensure the stable operation of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" after it is launched at this stage, and 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 deal with the data needs of this game, and the bandwidth and servers of our YY, YY network, and YY game hall are independent, and each has a certain amount of redundant space, if the number of users of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" is too large, we can also immediately call the redundant bandwidth of other products, in short, we can ensure the normal launch and stable operation of the game!"

Li Mu was completely relieved at this time, and said: "This game is of great significance, all departments must cooperate closely, and never let the game have any problems, this is the second game that we have swept the world, and it is a popular game with a peak life cycle of at least three years, and if this game is operated to the extreme, Makino Technology can be listed on the NASDAQ!"

Li Mu's ambition, so that others a little unbelievable, "Plants vs. Zombies Online" is indeed a very good game, it can be said to create a new game mode, and strictly combine the game with YY, and friends, but, after all, this game is not a real online game, its core operation is free, in this era when most of the games rely on point cards to make money, "Plants vs. Zombies Online" The profit space is indeed difficult to give people a huge imagination.

For Li Mu, he is very clear about the future development trajectory of the game, the real money-making games, will gradually become those free online games, free games can greatly reduce the user entry threshold, first use the zero threshold to load a large number of users in, and then use the game itself to strengthen the viscosity of this large number of free players, and after the viscosity of free players is cultivated, then use some paid additional products and corresponding operations in the game to attract users to pay.

Although Honor of Kings and League of Legends are both free games, the turnover of skins sold every day exceeds 100 million, which is Li Mu's development plan for "Plants vs. Zombies Online", so in Li Mumo's "Plants vs. Zombies Online", in addition to playing games for free, in the online mode, the planted plants can be accelerated by purchasing various props.

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

Li Mu believes that through the refined operation of "Plants vs. Zombies Online", as well as the continuous upgrading and innovation in the future, it will definitely be able to inject super and long-term vitality into this game, and improve Makino Technology as a whole to a higher level.

March 20th.

Overseas users have received pop-up prompts from YY.

In this pop-up window, YY launched a special page for SARS in various languages, and published a variety of accurate and proven news that was summarized, so that overseas users could get a very important message:

Although the current form of SARS is relatively severe, it is by no means as distorted as reported by their own media, and YY has published the latest and most detailed situation of the development of the epidemic, and users can objectively think and judge through these data.

Moreover, at present, the Chinese government has attached great importance to the SARS epidemic, and is making every effort to curb the development of SARS in China, and seeking a way to completely eliminate it, so overseas people do not need to complain and dislike Huaxia because of this, but should put aside all prejudices and hope that this epidemic can be completely defeated.

In this special page, Li Mu recorded a short video, in which he sat in his office and said to the camera in English: "I hope that YY users around the world and people around the world can look at the epidemic in Asia with a correct eye, and the governments of Asia, 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, the people of the whole world should stand on one front, after all, any disease is not an enemy faced by one country or a nation alone, but an enemy that all mankind must face together."

"The discovery of antibiotics, the discovery of organ transplants, and the eventual victory over smallpox over the long history of mankind are victories for the people of the world, and the people of the world are enjoying the fruits of this victory;"

"At present, there are still many diseases waiting for mankind to work together to overcome them, whether it is cancer, AIDS, or various diseases that are still tormenting mankind and taking away human health and life, including SARS now in Asia, 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." ”

Speaking of this, Li Mu paused, his expression suddenly became relaxed, and said with a smile: "Makino Technology has prepared a new social game for YY users all over the world, this game has a more fun and exciting game mode than "Paradise Town", and also has a more in-depth and interesting friend interaction experience than "Paradise Town", please always pay attention to YY, this game will be officially launched at 21 o'clock on March 20th, Yanjing time!"
