In fact, it was not just a little online promotion, Sun Yaohuo also arranged related promotions offline.
The next day.
At the Blue Moon Game Show.
Sun Yaohuo, wearing a mask, stood not far from a game booth.
And on this game booth were six big words "Plants vs. Zombies".
In front of the booth.
A group of beautifully dressed girls held up a sign that read:
Try the game for ten minutes and you'll get a 30% discount coupon for any store under Yanyan Catering. Limited to one coupon per person!
"Try the game and get a coupon?"
"Yanyan Catering?"
"I know them. Their hotpot is really delicious. They have many branches in Suzhou!"
"Then let's go get a coupon!"
"There are restaurant coupons at the game show. There just happens to be a restaurant under the Yanyan catering brand near our home. Let's get some coupons!"
"Try it for ten minutes, then grab him!"
"Ten minutes is all it takes? Then just play around."
"… "
The game enthusiasts in the exhibition hall had little interest in games of the same style as "Plants vs. Zombies" because the introduction said it was a puzzle strategy game. Most players at the game exhibition looked down on such small productions, but this promotion attracted them, and soon a bunch of people came to try it out for the coupons of Yanyan Catering.
Not long.
Ten minutes are up.
The coupons have actually been obtained, but the crowd who were trying out the game were reluctant to leave and even forgot about the coupons and continued to have fun.
“This game is very creative!”
"I was reluctant to waste ten minutes at first, but I didn't expect it to be so interesting. I'm a little addicted!"
“The feel of a real-time strategy game.”
“More exciting than any other game at this exhibition!”
"How do you play this game? Why did a zombie eat my brain right at the start?"
"You have to grow sunflowers, which will produce sunlight, and you can collect it to buy other plants."
"Fuck, is this the idea of a business game?"
"I checked and found that this game is available for download online now!"
"Go back and download one!"
"… "
At game exhibitions in this world, many already released games will also be promoted through exhibitions, which can be regarded as a simultaneous effort between online and offline.
Sun Yaohuo, who was far away, watched this scene with a smile on his face.
This game designed by my junior is awesome!
The staff has already begun persuading the first batch of trial players to give up their seats.
More and more people gathered behind.
Some came for the coupons, while others saw others playing and thought it was interesting, so they wanted to give it a try.
"Hurry up, buddy in front!"
"Ten minutes have already passed!"
"It's our turn!"
"This game is interesting, let me try it!"
"That guy is too weak. In ten minutes, his brain was eaten by zombies several times!"
"Look at me clearing the level in one go!"
"… "
The noise was a bit noisy, with many people urging the players in front of them. For a moment, the bustle of the "Plants vs. Zombies" booth even attracted the attention of other booths.
People at each booth looked at each other.
What game
So many people queuing
Depend on!
A puzzle strategy game
Can this thing compare to our super-bomb-like fighting games with gorgeous graphics
Why
Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Because it can be downloaded online at this time, many people are playing this game at the same time.
After all, this game has already become popular online.
…
A dormitory.
A student sat in front of the computer, clicking the mouse to collect sunlight and plant one pea shooter after another.
The roommates nearby gathered around.
"Huh?"
"What game is this?"
“It’s quite interesting to watch.”
"Watch out, this zombie is coming!"
"Why are there so many zombies at the same time?"
"I lost this level."
"Oh my god, this red pepper is so powerful, it killed the zombies instantly!"
"This little blue thing can also slow down?"
"Interesting, what's the name of this game?"
"Plants vs. Zombies?"
…
A certain company.
An employee was playing games secretly when his boss wasn't paying attention, and every time his boss passed by, he would quickly hide the window, his movements were very skillful.
Several colleagues noticed it.
“Oh my god.”
"I've finished stealing the mini-game again."
"How boring! You slacked off at work just to plant sunflowers?"
"wrong."
"There are zombies behind."
“So that’s how it’s played.”
“Is this a new mini-game?”
"The game is called Plants vs. Zombies. Where can I download it?"
"You can download the Blue Moon platform for just ten dollars!"
…
An Internet cafe.
Someone logged onto the Blue Moon platform and opened Plants vs. Zombies.
The companion was stunned.
"Aren't you here to play games?"
"Why are you playing little games?"
"Log in, and play Heroes of the Storm!"
"What's the point of this thing?"
"Close soon."
"Hmmm, this zombie is doing the moonwalk?"
"It seems more interesting than I thought."
"How about we try it too?"
"Emma, it's really fun!"
…
In the beginning, one person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people, and in the end, a hundred people tell a thousand people, a thousand people tell ten thousand people.
And when it was night time, the game had become very popular!
Many game forums are discussing this!
"Have you played the little game that just came out?"
"What game?"
"Plants vs. Zombies!"
"Plants, zombies, what the hell?"
"I'm playing now, and I've reached level 32. I don't know how many levels there are in total, it's getting harder and harder!"
"It turns out I'm not the only one playing this game. This game is so interesting. The old zombie is carrying the little zombie on his back. The little zombie is so cute!"
"This game is so addictive, I haven't even finished my homework just to play it!"
“How do I get past level 42? I’ve been playing for a whole day and I’m stuck at this level!”
"Oh my god, the zombies ate my brain again!"
"A large wave of zombies is really exciting!"
"Fuck, a large wave of zombies? Is it so heavy? No, I have to download it and try it out too!"
"There is no such thing as a large wave of zombies. I searched dozens of times and even used software to slow down the speed by four times, but I still couldn't find a single female zombie, let alone a large wave of zombies. Can you please tell me how to find a large wave of zombies?"
"Play to level 50, and you won't be disappointed by the huge wave of zombies. You will then give the designer a thumbs-up!"
"Fifty levels?"
"Does this game have so many levels? Damn, now zombies can swim, it's too difficult. No matter what, I'll fight for the big wave of zombies!"
"… "
Discussions convert more players.
I don't know how long some people have worked on it.
Finally, the Emperor of Perseverance reached the 50th level!
This perseverance emperor went online and angrily cursed: "Liar, there is no large wave of zombies in the 50th level!"
Someone sighed at the back: "The zombies destroyed the plants in Mini World, entered Mini's house, caught the terrified Mini, and opened your head expectantly... Then the zombies left disappointed."
All right.
No matter how many ridiculous things happened during the process, no matter how many plants were praised by everyone and how many plants were criticized for their low cost performance, this game has really become popular.
More and more people started discussing this game.

Some people also noticed that in some levels, there were zombies that could do the spacewalk.
"The zombies are doing Mr. Xianyu's moonwalk, it's so funny!"
"Yeah, there's a backing singer!"
"Zombies can dance, that's ridiculous, haha!"
"The high-level zombies here are capable of anything!"
"If the world ends and zombies are this skilled, then humanity will be doomed."
"etc."
"Why does this zombie who sings the backup song look a bit like Sun Yaohuo from Fish Dynasty?"
"If you say so, then the zombie doing the moonwalk is Fish Daddy?"
"puff."
Someone discovered the blind spot.
In addition to this type of discussion, there are also many players who are stuck at a certain level and ask the experts for help.
This game gets harder as you go along.
For a while, netizens showed off their skills and took out their own secrets to pass the level.
Some people are not satisfied with just one solution and start to use various combinations of plants to defeat zombies, analyzing and comparing which combination is the most appropriate and cost-effective way to pass the level.

There are also some casual players who quietly plant flowers.
Some people specialize in playing adventure mode to challenge more novel gameplay.
