On the Harvard campus, nineteen-year-old Mark Zuckerberg is inconspicuous.
Although Mark Zuckerberg had already made some achievements in programming before he was admitted to Harvard and was favored by large companies like Microsoft, boys like him are not popular at all on university campuses where individuality is sought after. .
Mark Zuckerberg is a member of the "freaks" and "nerds" group on Harvard campus. Most girls are not interested in such boys. What they like are handsome and handsome guys. The rich second generation who is young and rich, a member of the strong school football team, and a member of the campus band with full personality. Each of these popular boy types is very different from Mark Zuckerberg.
Like all universities, boys on Harvard campus like hot girls with blond hair, blue eyes, and tall figures. Whether they are popular lovers or nerds like Mark Zuckerberg, they are obsessed with the school. Every hot girl of pays extra attention.
Whenever a group of nerds like Mark Zuckerberg get together in private, the ones who discuss the most are the more beautiful women on campus.
On this day, when Mark Zuckerberg returned to the dormitory from the library, his roommate Dustin Moskovitz was concentrating on something in front of the computer. Mark Zuckerberg curiously asked Dustin Moskowitz: "Dustin, what are you doing? Didn't you go to the library today?"
"Go to the damn library." Dustin Moskowitz said without raising his head: "I discovered something more interesting."
Mark Zuckerberg curled his lips, dropped his schoolbag, sat on his bed and stretched, and said with a slightly melancholy expression: "I didn't expect Fiona in the library today. She usually goes there every night. Spend an hour in the library.”
Dustin Moskowitz laughed and said: "Mark, forget it, Fiona is the most beautiful girl in the entire undergraduate school. Her suitors can line up around Harvard. It is said that she has a boyfriend for a long time. , and the other party’s family is very powerful, and both parents are members of the Freemasons. I advise you to change your goal to a more realistic one.”
Mark Zuckerberg was used to being attacked by Dustin Moskowitz. He didn't care at this time. He just smiled helplessly and said: "I didn't want to pursue Fiona, I just wanted to appreciate her." Just look at her a few times."
As he spoke, Mark Zuckerberg glanced at Dustin Moskowitz's computer screen and asked in surprise: "Dustin, what game are you playing? It looks like a cartoon."
"I'll do it." Dustin Moskovitz hurriedly came to his senses and blurted out: "I forgot to tell you, this game is very powerful and fun!"
Mark Zuckerberg said disinterestedly: "I don't feel anything about games."
After saying that, Mark Zuckerberg added: "By the way, Dustin, I want to build a website for displaying and voting on beauties. I can add all the beauties from Harvard to it and let everyone comment and vote. I believe it will be fun. If you have Not interested in coming together?"
Dustin Moskowitz shook his head: "Come on Mark, even if you create ten websites, Fiona will not look at you twice. I advise you to play this game, my goddess Monica." Also, I just went to her farm and stole her apples, haha. I wonder if Monica will remember me after seeing the system prompt saying that Dustin Moskowitz stole her apples. Deeper."
Mark Zuckerberg asked curiously: "Stealing Apples? Are you playing a game about stealing Apples? Does anyone else develop such a boring game?"
Dustin Moskowitz said: "Hey man, the game that can catch my eye is of course not just stealing Apple. The structure of this game is very huge, but I just started playing it, and the level is not enough, and many functions are not yet available. Not activated."
After that, Dustin Moskowitz added: "By the way, many people in school are playing it now! I already have more than fifty friends here, all from Harvard."
Mark Zuckerberg was still not interested. He curled his lips, picked up a programming-related book from the bedside, and started reading it by himself.
At this time, a cell phone ringtone came. Dustin Moskowitz's old Nokia phone rang. Focusing on the game, he picked up the phone and pressed the answer button. He asked unhappily: "Who is it!"
"Dustin Moskowitz, how dare you steal my apple!!!"
The roar on the phone made Dustin Moskowitz instantly tremble, and his heart suddenly started to surge. He thought to himself excitedly: Oh my God, it’s the goddess Monica! Although we are classmates, I have only spoken to her a few times. I am very lucky to have her as a gaming friend. I didn’t expect that she would call me. She actually has my mobile phone number. Oh my God. Oh my god, what kind of bad luck did I have...
Dustin Moskowitz was so excited that he forgot how to answer. Monica on the other end of the phone saw that he had no response, and became even more furious. She blurted out: "Dustin, I'll give you two choices, either You asked me to steal from your farm three times, oh no, five times! Or I will delete you as a friend and never talk to you again in this life!"
Only then did Dustin Moskowitz come to his senses and said hurriedly: "Monica, don't say it five times, I will satisfy you even if it is fifty times!"
Monica didn't hear the other meaning in his voice, but she was still very satisfied with his attitude. Her anger immediately dissipated a lot and said, "Okay! From now on, whenever your crops mature, you will Please inform me ten minutes in advance so that I can go to your place to steal vegetables. This is my mobile phone number. Except for the time period from 12 o'clock at night to 6 o'clock in the morning, at any other time as long as your crops are about to mature, you can give me I’m texting!”
"No problem! Keep it with me!" Dustin Moskowitz, who was so excited, agreed without hesitation.
Monica was then satisfied and asked: "Fifty times, don't forget it!"
After saying that, Monica hung up the phone.
Monica had hung up the phone, but Dustin Moskowitz was still sitting in front of the computer, dizzy with excitement. Mark Zuckerberg asked curiously: "Did Monica call you just now??? "
"Yes, brother!" Dustin Moskowitz turned his head and said with a look of ecstasy: "It's Monica! I never dreamed that she would actually call me!"
Mark Zuckerberg asked again: "What you just told her fifty times would satisfy her. If you tease her so directly, won't she be angry?"
Dustin Moskowitz smiled narrowly and said: "Man, I say you should really try the game "Paradise Town". Maybe your goddess and school beauty Fiona is also playing it, you You can go to her farm to steal her crops, and you can also fertilize, water, hoe, kill insects, and even chat with her via private messages!”
Mark Zuckerberg was somewhat interested, but he still shook his head and said, "Fiona is a top student. She can't be addicted to this kind of game."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dustin Moskowitz suddenly received a friend request prompt in the game. After double-clicking to open it, he was immediately stunned by the prompt!
"Hello, I'm Fiona Gilbert, I hope to be your game friend!"
Dustin Moskowitz looked at this message in front of the computer and was excited and incoherent: "Mark! Mark! Come and see, your goddess Fiona took the initiative to add me in the game!!!"
…
At this time, in a girls' dormitory at Harvard, Fiona Gilbert, known as the campus beauty, was frantically adding friends in front of the computer. Because of her strong influence in the school, she requested to be added as a friend. There were so many people. In just one day, the number of friends reached nearly 400. However, Fiona was still not satisfied. She was still actively adding friends everywhere, hoping to quickly increase the number of friends to 1,000.
The reason why Fiona is so crazy about adding friends is that the promotion company of "Paradise Town" gave her a very attractive price. As long as she adds one more friend in the game, the game company will pay her 2 US dollars. , if a thousand friends are added, the game company will increase the unit price from 2 US dollars to 3 US dollars. In that case, it will be an income of 3,000 US dollars;
In addition, if your friends visit your farm every time, you can get 10 cents. It seems like a small amount, but if you have a thousand friends and each of them visits your farm once a day, you can get 10 cents. One hundred dollars for one month and three thousand dollars in income!
Fiona's family background is average, and she did not receive a full scholarship when she was admitted to Harvard. In addition to paying part of the tuition, her family also had to provide her with living expenses. Although she could afford it, Fiona felt guilty, and she loved Art, her biggest dream right now is to visit several European cities with long history and culture. It happened that the operation team of "Paradise Town" found her and offered her such a generous salary, and even paid her two thousand US dollars in advance. , so Fiona is extremely invested, hoping to make more money through this game. On the one hand, she can meet her living expenses and support herself; on the other hand, she can also accumulate some savings to prepare for a vacation to Europe.
When Mark Zuckerberg heard that Fiona, his goddess, actually took the initiative to add his roommate Dustin Moskowitz as a gaming friend, he felt unbelievable and jumped out of bed in a hurry and rushed to Dustin Moskowitz. In front of Tin Moskowitz's computer, he asked in surprise: "Is it really Fiona?"
"Yeah! See for yourself!" Dustin Moskowitz pointed to Fiona's game avatar, an extremely beautiful blonde beauty, which is a photo of Fiona herself.
Mark Zuckerberg didn't believe it and said: "How do you know if someone else has faked her name to trick you?!"
Dustin Moskowitz pointed to a small golden badge next to Fiona's avatar and said: "Did you see this logo? It means that the identity of this user has been officially verified and it is indeed Fiona." Myself!"
When Mark Zuckerberg heard this, his eyes widened with excitement and he blurted out: "Dustin, what is the name of this game? I want the next one too!"
