Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 92 I, Zhou Chu, Didn't Charge Money

01:30 in the middle of the night.

The noisy alarm clock rings.

Zhou Chu opened his hazy eyes and ran to the bathroom to wash his face to refresh himself.

Then go to the computer, open the Fumei platform, and load "Happy Farm"

"Hey hey hey~ I'm collecting the vegetables. I'm collecting the vegetables." The figure turned on the fly-rubbing mode.

But... when he saw his farm, he was embarrassed.

The ears of rice that were originally growing vigorously now became scattered, as if they had been picked apart by dogs.

"Who! Who stole my food!"

Everywhere roared in a low voice, impotent and furious.

"Okay, it seems like if I don't give you some clues, you won't know who I am."

With that said, he opened the message panel.

When other players enter their farm, the farm will have relevant message prompts.

But when he saw the news, he was speechless.

【…】

Yellow Diamond user... Zhou Chu was completely silent.

Distinguished Yellow Diamond players can choose to hide their information when entering other friends' farms.

As a prostitute player, Zhou Chu was naturally unable to resist the sanctions from the system.

But the next second, the farm system seemed to notice something and immediately popped up a prompt.

[Whether to activate Yellow Diamond and become a distinguished Yellow Diamond member. 】

[Yellow Diamond’s privileges are as follows: exclusive identity mark, exclusive room, kicking privileges...]

"You want me to recharge money? It's impossible. Even if I die today and jump from here, I won't be able to recharge a penny into the game!" Zhou Chu closed the system message without hesitation.

Gather all the remaining rice ears.

Sell, buy new seeds, plant.

After roughly calculating the next mature time, Zhou Chu returned to bed with a calm expression.

"Isn't it just stealing a few dishes? What's the big deal?"

"You can steal as much as you like, but how much money does it cost? I can produce dozens of ears from one acre of land, so it doesn't matter if I give him two."

Zhou Chu murmured in a low voice, with an unconcerned look on his face.

"Is there a problem? No problem. I stole a lot of their food during the day."

"That's how the game is played, it's normal..."

Zhou Chu turned over and changed his position, tossing and turning:

"But these people are quite perverted. I woke up 7 minutes late and stole my food...fuck, what the hell!"

"...Take a deep breath and relax, Zhou Chu, you have to think about it. Others wake up earlier than you and put in effort. Isn't that what you should..."

Zhou Chu felt that this position was uncomfortable, so he changed to a more comfortable position and closed his eyes tightly:
"Looking at the bright side, when they stole my vegetables, they even watered me, fertilized me and weeded me. This is all a courtesy..."

After a brief silence.

"Wait a minute, it seems that helping friends water, fertilize and weed will gain experience points... In other words, they not only used my farm to upgrade, but also stole my money!!!"

"A bunch of dogs!"

Zhou Chu opened his eyes wide, but quickly closed them: "Zhou Chu, don't be affected, this is just a game, it's just a game, it's no big deal."

silence……

silence……

silence……

Half an hour later, there was silence and the world was peaceful.

Lying quietly on the bed, Zhou Chu suddenly opened his eyes and said in an almost aggrieved voice:

"No, how could they do this~"

……

……

the next day.

"Hey, Zhou Chu, the dark circles under your eyes are a bit serious. Did you not get enough rest yesterday?"

Inside the company, a colleague greeted Zhou Chu with a smile.

Zhou Chu responded feebly: "It's okay, I just have some insomnia." Zhou Chu didn't think staying up all night from two to five in the morning was considered an all-nighter.

The all-nighter should have been until six o'clock, but he only arrived at five o'clock. This can only be regarded as insomnia!

After finding his workstation, Zhou Chu put down his backpack, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and started his day's work.

During lunch break, Zhou Chu was eating in the cafeteria when he heard the people next to him seemed to be discussing "Happy Farm".

"Hey, are you playing "Farm Farm"?"

"I've never heard of it. I'm handicapped and don't play games."

"That's great... No, I'll teach you. This game is very simple. You only need to move the mouse... After you plant it, leave it alone. There will be kind-hearted players who will harvest the vegetables for you."

"Is this game so humane?"

"Yeah, yeah, let's eat first, and I'll teach you after you finish eating."

……

"Do you also play "Farm"? Add a friend and I will help you water, fertilize and weed."

"Okay, okay, wait, you don't want to steal my food, do you?"

"How could it be possible? Do I look like that? Hehe... Damn it, Yellow Diamond user, you won't steal my food too, will you?"

"Hey... Do you think I look like that kind of person?"

Zhou Chu took a quick glance and saw several figures in the cafeteria, running around happily with their mobile phones in hand.

He knew those people, they were the kind of "social butterfly" talents, and even the inter-department offices had their contact information.

He is the kind of colleague who is very energetic and has a kind personality.

At first, Zhou Chu didn't really like these people, and even felt a little disgusted with them.

He feels that in reality, a person's interpersonal relationship only requires a few close friends, and the rest is completely ineffective social interaction.

But now, Zhou Chu felt a faint feeling of envy in his heart... With so many friends, how much water can be poured and how much food can be stolen!
……

Finished the day's work.

As soon as he got home, Zhou Chu hurriedly rushed into the room, turned on the computer, entered the account password skillfully, and loaded "Happy Farm".

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Zhou Chu said impatiently, and then looked at his watch, 6:18.

The maturity cycle of crops in the early stage of "Happy Farm" is relatively short, and one harvest can be harvested in five or six hours.

During his lunch break, he had taken the time to plant a batch, and now it was harvest time.

The melodious sound of the organ sounded, and a refreshing picture of the farm appeared.

But... When Zhou Chu looked at the farm, the expression on his face froze instantly.

The familiar messy ears of rice, the familiar look of dogs gnawing at them.

Open the message prompt and a familiar font comes into view.

[6:02, Yellow Diamond user steals rice ears x 3]

【…】

Silence, dead silence.

Then...

"Fuck!"

A loud roar sounded.

Zhou Chu's mentality was about to collapse. The reason for his collapse was not because his food was stolen.

But his food was stolen, but he didn't know who stole it.

This feeling is like knowing that the surname next door is Wang, but can't find any flaws.

At this moment, something happened that made his mentality collapse even more.

[Whether to activate Yellow Diamond and become a distinguished Yellow Diamond member. 】

[Yellow Diamond’s privileges are as follows: exclusive identity mark, exclusive room, kicking privileges...]

"Go on, go on, let me go!"

Zhou Chuwei was furious and vented for half an hour.

He picked up his phone, scanned the QR code, and muttered:

"I'm not charging money into the game. I'm opening membership rights on the gaming platform. Is this a recharge? Is this a recharge? Obviously this doesn't count!"

At this time, the mobile phone made a beep sound.

There is a sparkling yellow diamond on the prefix of Zhou Chu's game account.

"I, Zhou Chu, did not recharge!"
