Chapter 100: Happy Farm

At two o'clock in the afternoon, under the witness of a group of people on the school intranet, Jiang Hui clicked on the background to confirm the official launch of "Happy Farm", and sent a station message to all users on the network.

The people in the school intranet also opened "Happy Farm" first, began to grow crops, and took the initiative to invite friends to play.

The link to invite friends to play together is also a small new function added when the game is launched, users can click to invite friends after using the game, and the system will automatically generate a station message and send it to the friend's mailbox.

"Happy Farm" developed by Jiang Hui is a simulation game based on a farm. In the game, the player takes on the role of a farm operator and completes the entire process from buying seeds to farming, watering, fertilizing, spraying pesticides, harvesting fruits, and selling them to the market. The game interestingly simulates the growth process of crops, so players can also feel the fun of "crop growing" while running the farm. In the game, most of the actions that players can perform on their own crops can also be performed on their friends' crops, so in the game, players can become both a "good guy" who is willing to give and a "big villain" who specializes in destruction and plunder.

Since players can interact with friends and steal vegetables, the more friends they play with, the more fun they will be, which greatly improves the stickiness of intranet users and the enthusiasm of actively pulling people to play games or enrolling people to register on intranet.

Not long after the launch of "Happy Farm", the background showed that users continued to start using the farm, and the later they went, the faster the number of users grew.

Although the vegetable stealing function in the game caused a lot of controversy in the later stage, it played an irreplaceable role in improving the playability of "Happy Farm" and attracting users to take the initiative to pull people.

In fact, the function of stealing vegetables is so important, not that stealing vegetables itself is fun, but mainly to allow users to enjoy the pleasure of 'stealing' with many acquaintances and friends.

Of course, after stealing vegetables in later generations caused heated discussions, there were also brick families who said that stealing vegetables was not vegetables, but loss and loneliness: in the real society, many urban white-collar workers have become "house slaves" and "car slaves", and more people can only sigh at houses and private cars, under pressure but helpless. And games such as stealing vegetables and grabbing parking spaces can quickly fill their anxiety and frustration in reality, "as long as you spend more time, you can realize your dream of owning a luxury house and a famous car." At the same time, the act of "stealing" is not allowed by the real society, so everyone vents their dissatisfaction with reality in an extreme way of betraying reality in the virtual network.

Whether it's good or bad, if it's hotly debated, it's basically a success for a game.

In the evening of the same day, less than 12 hours after the launch of "Happy Farm", more than 500,000 users were already using it, and the number of registrations on the school intranet also increased by more than 100,000 in this short period of time, reaching more than 3 million.

Since the premise of the game itself is actually very simple, the difficult thing is that no one has thought of this idea before, or the people who have this idea have not put it into action. So since the launch, there have been basically no problems.

Next week is the exam week of most colleges and universities, and Jiang Hui let everyone disperse early, leaving himself and Zhu Zhengfeng. Lao Zhu is a senior, and he has very few classes, and he is a graduate student, so he doesn't have to be in such a hurry to review.

Jiang Hui is confident in the content of the exam, as long as he flips through the key points marked by the teachers of each subject before the exam, there is no problem in getting a high score. Normally, the grades of each subject in the university are composed of three parts: regular attendance, usual assignments, and final exams. If there is no support from the dean, no matter how good Jiang Hui is in the final exam, it is impossible to get a high score, after all, the proportion of attendance and usual homework is generally not less than 20%, and Jiang Hui is estimated to deduct a lot of points for this piece.

In order to get these points, most students usually don't dare to skip class too much, and later generations even have people who "substitute for class" for various reasons. According to an online survey in later generations, the phenomenon of substitute teaching in many colleges and universities across the country has intensified, and elective courses and public courses are the "hardest hit areas" of substitute teaching, including ideological and moral cultivation and legal foundation, modern Chinese history, English and other major courses. Some students said that due to the large number of students attending public classes, teachers often choose to check students' attendance by roll call or class tests. If you are found to be absent from class, your course score will be affected. These requirements have given rise to the phenomenon of "substitute classes". In particular, some people have to go to internships or interviews in other places, and in order to get credits normally, they are forced to choose to hire someone to teach on their behalf. Of course, there must be some people who choose to have people take classes on their behalf because of playing games, traveling, or other improper reasons.

In order to continue to support the institute, Jiang Hui has recently provided several papers related to industrial engineering and the Internet to Professor Chen and Dean He, and these papers have also been published in important journals under their recommendation. Of course, it is not that any paper can be published in an important journal as long as it is recommended by someone, and the effect of having an important person's recommendation is just to make a good article not be buried, at least the editor will not see the author's information and throw it into the corner of the table without even reading the article.

"Jiang Hui, there are so many exams next week, why don't you go and review them well?"

"It's okay, I won't hang up, I've already finished the content of the current exam, and I may not be able to take the exam higher than those who review every day." Jiang Hui said.

"Students like you, who don't usually study and do better in exams than others, are the most frustrating," Zhu Zhengfeng said.

Lao Zhu's words really speak to the hearts of many college students. There are always a few people in each class who don't usually study much, and they rely on a surprise attack before the exam, and then they also get high scores. On the contrary, some students who listen to classes and do homework every time, although the exam is not bad, but when they see that they study so hard, their grades are not as good as those who usually do not study or their grades are comparable to others, which is quite shocking to people's enthusiasm for learning, and they will think about it next semester: Anyway, it is useless to study so seriously, and you can surprise before the exam. Then, when you do this, you find that this method is not suitable for you, and then you fail! However, it doesn't matter to you, it has nothing to do with you, it's not something that can be redeemed by hard work.
