Rewrite the Technological Landscape

It is estimated that before 1995, there should be an impression of the grand occasion of stealing vegetables.

At that time, it also caused a wave of academic discussions. Sociology experts and psychology experts came out to analyze why stealing food became so popular, and then technical terms such as virtual social dependence became popular in that era.

To get to the bottom of it, Meng Qian doesn't know why stealing food is so popular, anyway, the fire is over.

And for Meng Qian, the biggest purpose of stealing food online is to increase the user base. After nearly a month, Fengxin has already established a certain user base in overseas university circles, but it is still far behind ICQ's user base. Far.

In 2001, the combined population of East Asia and Southeast Asia was almost 700 million, and the number of Internet users exceeded 100 million.

ICQ has more than 100 million registered users, while Fengxin currently only has 3 million overseas registered users.

Meng Qian now needs to start thinking about how to expand this user base.

Stealing vegetables is a good way, because only by adding more friends can you steal more vegetables.

Compared with ICQ, Meng Qian's difference is the user base, so he must be fast, otherwise ICQ is like QQ in the past, relying on the user base to defeat all opponents.

Anyway, anything can be imitated.

No matter how hasty the new version of ICQ is this time, it can be done in 20 days, which is enough for Meng Qian to have a little sense of crisis.

On August 25, when Fengxin was updated, users will naturally take a look at this new function with curiosity. The overall design of Fengxin Farm is basically the same as that of Happy Farm, including weeding, insecticide, watering, etc. Basic operations are preserved.

Most of the users' first reactions to this gameplay are fresh, because no one has designed such a gameplay in this era.

But that night, the influence of the farm did not explode so quickly. Everyone planted the land first, and then some friends went to water each other.

In order to encourage everyone to get hooked on the farm faster, Meng Qian also designed farm rewards, through which the harvest from the farm can be exchanged for exclusive Fengxinxiu and Fengxinquan decorations.

On the first day of the launch of Fengxin Farm, the market response was average.

The second day after Fengxin Farm went live, the market response was mediocre.

On the third day of Fengxin Farm’s launch, the market responded generally.

Ten days after Fengxin Farm went live

A male dormitory at Korea University, ten o'clock in the evening.

"Come on, brothers, let's divide the work. Now everyone grows vegetables at the same pace, so we can help each other.

The eldest brother wants to go to bed early, so he is responsible for harvesting grapes for everyone at 10 o’clock, the second child is responsible for oranges at 12 o’clock, the third child can stay up late, you are responsible for cantaloupe at 3 am, and the fourth child happens to get up early to buy breakfast for the partner, so you are responsible for 6 o’clock. Grapefruit, help us collect the food and go to your friend's place to steal the food before you go to your girlfriend.

Then I got up at 8:00 in the morning to take over the shift. I paid for all the food during the day, and I turned on the alarm clock to collect the food. Lao Liu, you are responsible for the time between 5:00 and 10:00 in the afternoon. How about it? "

"I think it's okay, let's make a schedule for stealing vegetables, and everyone will steal vegetables according to the schedule, and there is no need to reconnect every day, and then make a vegetable planting schedule, and everyone will grow at the same pace. Vegetables, so that they can be collected together, which will be much more convenient.”

"No one takes the cleaning duty schedule we made before."

"Cleaning and stealing food, can that be the same thing?!"

Neon country, at 8:00 p.m., a couple of students from Kyoto University are eating in a western restaurant.

After dinner was almost over, the boy said innocently, "Let's not go back to the dormitory tonight, let's go to the hotel?"

"Ah? Why?" The girl's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Because... I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really don't want to part with you. I want to stay with you for a while longer, otherwise I will definitely miss you tonight." Seeing the girl hesitate, the boy quickly added, " Don't worry, I just sleep with you and won't do anything!"

"That's fine."

With the girl's consent, the boy hurriedly paid the money, and took the girl's nervous little hand to the hotel.

As soon as she entered the hotel, the girl sat on the edge of the bed, and the boy squatted in front of her, staring at the girl affectionately. As the girl slowly closed her eyes, the boy moved his face closer

"Ring ring ring~~~"

At this moment, the boy's cell phone rang an alarm clock.

"Ah, it's time to steal vegetables."

"Ah, that's right, I'm going to steal food!" The girl also reacted, and then both of them looked at the hotel's computer in unison.

The boy's family is relatively wealthy, so he found a relatively high-end business hotel with a computer.

The two hurriedly turned on the computer, the boy asked the girl to collect the food first, and then collected the food himself, and then the two started to steal food from other people.

"How many friends do you have?" The girl asked curiously seeing the boys stealing food all the time.

"Seven or eight hundred."

"How do you have so many friends?" The girl was shocked.

"There are those who steal food and add friends on the forum, you can add them if you need."

"Really, then you can help me add some people. I only have more than 50 friends, and the farm upgrade is very slow."

"OK."

Boys started to go to the forum to help girls add friends, and by the way, they also expanded their list for themselves.

This time I played until twelve o'clock in the evening.

"I'm a little sleepy, why don't we go to bed?" the girl who usually goes to bed earlier suggested.

"Oh, well, why don't you take a shower first?"

The girl glanced at the bathroom. Some nodded shyly. It took a full 20 minutes before the girl came out after taking a good shower, "Qianba-kun, I, I'm done."

"Oh good, you go to bed first, I'll wait for a while, and I'll be able to steal vegetables again soon."

"Oh." The girl lay on the bed and watched the boy stealing food, and fell asleep after watching.

Early the next morning, two people who turned around and hugged each other suddenly woke up. The boy slowly opened his eyes, looked at the person beside him, and slowly moved his head towards him.

"Ring ring ring~~~"

"Damn it, it's time to collect the vegetables again!" The boy jumped off the bed and hurried to the computer to collect the vegetables.

Back in the dormitory at noon, the girl's roommate looked at her with gossiping eyes, "Yo, what did you and Qianye-kun do last night?"

Faced with her roommate's gossip, the girl suddenly felt inexplicably wronged, "He actually didn't do anything!!!!"

The popularity of stealing vegetables is gradually unfolding over time, and there are posts discussing stealing vegetables everywhere on the Internet.

"The only people in this world who can get me up early are Fengxin Farm and my mother."

"Life is like stealing food. Many friends have many paths."

September is the month of the outbreak of Fengxin Farm. Although many schools are open, it can't stop everyone's enthusiasm for stealing food from Internet cafes.

Moreover, with the increase of Fengxin users, Fengxin has started to extend from the group of universities.

In order to steal food, college students called out all the ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends of their younger brothers, sisters, brothers, sisters, and spread the word. Coupled with Fengxin's own advantages, Fengxin users began to explode.

On the other side of America Online, John called Weisger into the office again, saying almost exactly the same thing, "I'll give you 20 days to make a farm!"

This time, Weisger didn't even resist, and hurried back to work.

As for Migo Online's neighbor, Microsoft suddenly sensed business opportunities in Asia. MSN has always been suppressed by ICQ in Asia. Now there is a sudden rumor that disrupts the situation, which makes Microsoft very interesting.

As a result, Microsoft, which has a big family and a big business, also started to act.

A battle of the Three Kingdoms in the instant messaging world kicked off.

In China, this September, Meng Qian is eyeing another three-legged confrontation.
