(I can only watch three shifts today, I tried my best!)

Plants vs. Zombies - A seemingly simple but very strategic mini-game. Terrifying zombies are about to invade your home, and the only defense you have is through the plants you plant.

Arm your 49 plants and switch between their different functions, such as cherry bombs or powerful man-eating flowers, to stop zombies in their path more quickly and effectively. With five different game modes with different enemies and different gameplay, and obstacles such as sunsets, rooftops, fog, and pools add to the challenge, the fun of the game never ends.

The casual game that Lin Feng is preparing to launch is the tabletop casual tower defense game that will become popular in Shijie in the future - "Plants vs. Zombies". This game is simple to operate and easy to paced, which is very suitable for relieving the tense nerves of the player's brain after the exciting PK battle of "Legend".

In particular, the game borrows some elements of strategy games - gathering resources and using them to build other units. Coupled with 49 types of plants and 26 different types of zombies, this game is also more strategic and tactical. When to develop the "economy" and when to develop the "army", players must make trade-offs according to their own game strategy and actual situation during the game.

Lin Feng was also crazy about this game, in order to challenge Zuihou's "endless survival mode", painstaking research, but in the end he could only pass 100 rounds, and then the painstaking defense line collapsed under the impact of the zombie army. Legend has it that there was a cow man who lasted until 226 rounds, and when the screenshot of this game came out, this cow man was worshiped by all players.

Lin Feng said that his own Jihua and the idea of Xishanju Studio, which is developing "Swordsman Romance Online", is expected to be released for public beta in a maximum of 2 weeks. After all, this game is extremely simple, as long as the damage formula is calculated, plus pure cartoon modeling, 2D graphics, it can't delay them for long. What's more, the development of "Swordsman Romance Online" has also entered a bottleneck, so it's time to change the development of a small game and change their thinking.

Lin Feng naturally won't just copy "Plants vs. Zombies" from the original, after all, it is a stand-alone game, and Lin Feng wants to develop it into an online game. Some redundant levels and scenes in the stand-alone game, Lin Feng is ready to give them all up.

Under the condition that his game mode remains the same, Lin Feng eliminated the five redundant levels, and only kept the "play mini-game", "decryption mode", and the most important "survival mode", and also retained the "Zen Garden" inside.

In survival mode, Lin Feng combines all the redundant levels into a level that is also the most difficult for players to fight day and night - "Endless Survival", which contains day, night, dense fog and pool scenes, according to the game progression, the game will switch between day and night, and dense fog will appear with the weather, improving the randomness of the game.

In the "Play Mini Game" and "Decryption Mode", the money obtained by clearing the level will be exchanged for "Sunshine" at the beginning of the "Endless Survival" level, so that players can have a certain amount of "Sunshine" at the beginning of the game, which can be used to plant plants, resist zombie attacks, and reduce the difficulty of the early game.

As for the "Zen Garden", it is actually a simplified version of "QQ Farm", and Lin Feng has also made appropriate improvements to it, becoming the same as "QQ Farm", which is also used to attract popularity.

In order to cooperate with the promotion of the game, Lin Feng also launched a reward system. Players who make it to the 100th round will open a new level, and players will move on to the next level the next week for a new experience. The top 100 players will be rewarded every week according to the number of rounds they hold onto.

The first player will be awarded a 120-hour game card for Legend, the top 20 will be awarded a 90-hour point card, the top 50 will be awarded a 60-hour point card, and the top 100 will be awarded a 30-hour game card.

The development progress of "Plants vs. Zombies" greatly exceeded Lin Feng's expectations, and it only took 10 days to come out under the research and development of Xishanju Studio day and night.

Of course, the biggest credit for this comes from Lin Feng. Lin Feng not only told everyone the detailed attributes and abilities of all 49 kinds of plants, but also described the abilities and appearances of 26 kinds of zombies in detail, and the level map was also drawn by Lin Feng himself, which greatly reduced the difficulty of their development and saved a lot of time. In this regard, everyone can only sigh that this boss doesn't know what his head thinks, how can there be so many whimsical ideas.

During the development process, the company's insiders were also attracted by the fun and strategic nature of the game, and even many of the company's top executives volunteered to serve as testers for the game. And the first person to pass the 100 rounds of internal testing was actually Xiao Fang, which surprised everyone even more.

However, looking at the two obvious dark circles on her face, it can be seen that she is fighting day and night, and she can only pass the 100-round mark first after repeated defeats. However, even Xiao Fang is so addicted, once it is listed, its prospects can be imagined.

When the game was released on May 20, it really caused a sensation. Previously, Lin Feng repeatedly promoted it on the official website, which made players full of curiosity. As soon as the public beta was launched, many players couldn't wait to download the client and log in online.

At first, everyone came for the first 100 point card rewards made by Lin Feng, but after entering, they were deeply attracted by the game.

Facts have also proved that the second online game launched by "Second Shijie" - "Plants vs. Zombies" did not disappoint everyone. Simple controls, relaxed pace, cute plants and zombies, plus extremely challenging levels, and real-time strategy strategy, make many players addicted to it once they get started.

In addition, Lin Feng guarantees that this game will adopt a low 10 yuan monthly fee system, as well as the launch of new levels after sticking to 100 rounds, and the reward system for the top 100 every week, which is unstoppable.

No one could have imagined that such a simple game would be wildly popular with players. In just one week after its launch, it repeatedly refreshed the highest number of online users, and on the seventh day, a week after the official public beta, the highest number of online users exceeded one million, breaking the previous record held by "Legend".

Since Lin Feng adopted the "second shijie" registered account to share all its game accounts, the launch of "Plants vs. Zombies" also stimulated the number of member registrations of "Second Shijie" again, and with the participation of a large number of working white-collar workers and female players, the registered members of "Second Shijie" easily exceeded the 100 million mark.

This data made all online game companies dumbfounded, looking at the online games that they had worked hard to search for and spent heavily on agents, but they were not as good as a small game developed and launched by the "second shijie" in two weeks, which made many online game company CEOs turn blue and purple.

Under the jealousy of many online game company CEOs, almost dozens of tower defense games of the same type are being developed simultaneously, since you can't be the first to eat crabs, it's better to follow the trend. In short, you can't let the "second shijie" enjoy it exclusively, this casual online game market, everyone has to get a piece of the pie.

Lin Feng has no opinion on the crazy follow-up of many online game companies. This game is simple enough, and it couldn't be easier to imitate. Coupled with such popularity, it is not surprising that it has been copied. As for whether the listing of a large number of similar games will squeeze the market share of the "second shijie", the impact will definitely be there, but it will not be too big. Lin Feng, as the first crab eater, has succeeded in enclosure. Players are actually very loyal, and once they identify your game and brand, they will not change the game easily. Maybe you will try it once in a while, but in the end, you will "return to your roots".

After a week of fighting, more than 2,000 players have made it to the 100th round and open the second level. The highest player in the first place insisted on the 170th round, which is not far from the legendary record of 226 rounds. With the efforts of tens of millions of people across the country, Lin Feng believes that this 226-round cattle record must not be far away.

As for those who broke through the hundred-round mark, the second level that Lin Feng prepared for them was very different from the first level. In the first level, zombies will clear all obstacles in their path, but in the second level, they will not rush forward and will not attack plants. If they encounter an obstacle, the zombie will choose the path that will take the least damage.

While the zombies' action thinking changes, the scene also changes.

Lin Feng has expanded his map by a factor of 10 and eliminated resource-gathering plants, and the "economy" gained by the player in the game comes from the zombies he has destroyed. The more zombies you kill, the more "economy" you get, and the more plants you can build to block zombies. Of course, Lin Feng also increased the zombie speed to a certain extent.

How to reasonably place plants in a garden 10 times larger than the original, slow down the pace of zombie attack, and finally destroy zombies when they enter the house, has become a new focus for players. (Note: The player must have an exit to the house for the zombies in the plants, not block them.) ）

Similarly, the second level is the same as the first, and after holding on for a hundred rounds, the third level will be opened. The reward system is the same as the first level, but Lin Feng has slightly increased the reward strength. The 1st place reward is increased from 120 hours to 150 hours, and so on, for all rewards to be increased by 30 hours from the first level.

The introduction of this alternative upgrade system has also stimulated the enthusiasm of players even more. Walking into the Internet café, as far as the eye can see, the vast majority of people are playing "Plants vs. Zombies", while playing, they also point to each other, exchange customs clearance experience with each other, and a prosperous scene.
