In fact, not only did Sun Yaohuo arrange a little online promotion, but he also organized corresponding promotions offline.

The next day.

At the Blue Moon Game Exhibition.

Sun Yaohuo, wearing a face mask, stood not far from a game booth.

And on this game booth was emblazoned "Plants vs. Zombies" in big letters.

In front of the booth,

a group of beautifully dressed girls held up promotional signs that read:

[Play the game for ten minutes and receive a 30% off coupon at any Flaming Catering restaurant, one coupon per person only!]

"Playing games to get coupons?"

"Flaming Catering?"

"I know them; their hotpot is super tasty, with many branches in Su City!"

"Let’s go grab a coupon!"

"There are restaurant coupons at the game exhibition? There’s actually a Flaming Catering restaurant near our home, let’s snag some coupons!"

"Play for ten minutes, scoop them up!"

"Just ten minutes? Then let’s just play casually."

"..."

Game enthusiasts in the exhibition hall originally had little interest in a game like "Plants vs. Zombies," described as a minor puzzle-strategy game, and most gamers at the exhibition looked down on such small productions. But this promotion caught their attention, and soon there was a rush of people playing to get those Flaming Catering coupons.

Not much later.

Ten minutes had passed.

Though the coupons were already in hand, the crowd that came to try out the game lingered on, forgetting about the coupons and continuing to play with relish.

"This game is really creative!"

"I was reluctant to waste ten minutes initially, didn’t expect it to be this interesting. It’s quite addictive!"

"Feels like a real-time strategy game."

"More exciting than any other game at this exhibition!"

"How do you play this game? How come I got my brain eaten by zombies right off the bat?"

"You need to plant Sunflowers. Sunflowers will produce Sunlight, which you collect to buy other plants."

"Damn, is this the approach of a management-style game?"

"I checked just now, this game is available for online download!"

"I’m downloading it when I get back!"

"..."

At this world’s game exhibition, many games were being promoted, taking advantage of both online and offline opportunities to push hard simultaneously.

Sun Yaohuo watched this scene from a distance, a smile spreading across his face.

The game my junior developed is awesome!

Staff had already begun urging the first batch of players to give up their spots.

More and more people were gathering behind them.

Some came for the coupons, while others, having seen the fun others were having, wanted to try it out themselves.

"Hurry up, bro in front!"

"Ten minutes are up!"

"It’s our turn now!"

"This game is interesting, let me have a go!"

"That guy sucks; got his brain eaten by zombies several times in ten minutes!"

"Watch me breeze through in one go!"

"..."

The boisterous noise was quite chaotic as many urged the players in front to hurry up. For a time, the "Plants vs. Zombies" booth was so lively it even drew attention from other booths.

People at various booths looked at each other.

What game is this?

Why is there such a long queue?

Wow!

Puzzle-strategy game?

Can it measure up to our own graphically stunning action-packed blockbusters?

What’s the catch!

Of course, this was just the tip of the iceberg.

Because it was also available online, many were playing the game at the same time.

After all, online, the game had already started to catch fire.

...

In a certain dorm.

A student sat in front of the computer, clicking the mouse to collect Sunlight and planting peashooters.

His roommates crowded around.

"Eh?"

"What game is this?"

"Looks pretty fun."

"Watch out, that zombie is coming!"

"How come so many zombies appear at once!"

"Lost that level."

"Dude, that red pepper is fierce, wiped out the zombies in one go!"

"This blue thing can slow them down?"

"Interesting, what’s this game called?"

"Plants vs. Zombies?"

...

At a certain company.

A clerk stealthily played the game while the supervisor wasn’t looking, expertly hiding the window whenever the boss walked past.

A few colleagues noticed.

"Damn."

"Caught playing games again."

"So boring, you’re slacking off at work just to plant Sunflowers?"

"That’s not it."

"There are zombies behind."

"So that’s how you play it."

"Is this a new mini-game?"

"The game is called ’Plants vs. Zombies’; where can I download it?"

"You can download it from the Blue Moon platform for ten bucks!"

...

In an internet cafe.

Someone logged onto the Blue Moon platform and started ’Plants vs. Zombies’.

His buddies were stunned.

"Weren’t we going to team up for a game?"

"Why are you playing a mini-game?"

"Come on, let’s log in. ’Heroes of England’, let’s go!"

"What’s so fun about this thing."

"Just exit it."

"Hmm, is that zombie doing The Moonwalk?"

"It seems more fun than I thought."

"Shall we give it a try?"

"Damn, it’s actually pretty fun!"

...

What started as a few spread to many, and soon it went viral.

By evening, this game had become a trend!

Many gaming forums were discussing it!

"Have you guys played the new mini-game that just came out?"

"What game?"

"Plants vs. Zombies!"

"Plants, zombies, what the heck?"

"I’m playing it right now, I’ve reached level thirty-two, don’t know how many there are in total, it’s getting harder!"

"Turns out I’m not the only one playing; this game is so fun. The old zombie carrying the little zombie, that little zombie is really cute!"

"This game is so addictive, I haven’t even done my homework because of it!"

"How do you pass level forty-two? I’ve been at it all day and I’m stuck on this level!"

"Man, the zombies ate my brain again!"

"That wave of zombies is really thrilling!"

"Damn, a wave of zombies? It’s that intense? No way, I’ve got to download it and see for myself!"

"What are you talking about, big wave zombies? I searched dozens of times, even used software to slow it down four times, and I couldn’t find a single female zombie, let alone ’big wave’ zombies. Hey GOAT, how do you find the big wave zombies?"

"Play up to level fifty, the big wave zombies won’t disappoint you; you’ll be wanting to reward the designers with drumsticks by then!"

"Level fifty?"

"Are there even that many levels in this game, damn, now the zombies can swim too, it’s really hard, but for the big wave zombies, I’m going all in!"

...

More discussions attracted even more players.

Nobody knew until what time some people played.

Finally, a player with enough willpower reached level fifty!

This determined player went online and ranted, "Liars, there are no big wave zombies at level fifty!"

Someone sighed, "The zombies destroyed the plants in the mini world, entered the mini house, caught the terrified mini, eagerly opened your brain... and then the zombies left disappointedly."

All right.

No matter how many hilarious events took place during the levels, no matter how many plants were praised or cursed for poor cost-effectiveness, the game truly became a hit.

More and more people began discussing this game.

Of course.

Some also noticed that in some levels, there were zombies doing The Moonwalk.

"Zombies doing Teacher Admirable Fish’s Moonwalk, I’m dying of laughter!"

"Yeah, there’s even backing vocals!"

"Zombies can dance now, that’s ridiculous, haha!"

"The higher-level zombies can do anything!"

"If the apocalypse comes and zombies are all this skilled, humanity is truly Bracing the Chill."

"Wait a second."

"This backing vocal zombie kinda looks like Sun Yaohuo from Yu Dynasty, doesn’t it?"

"Now that you mention it, could the dancing zombie be Fish Papa?"

"Pfft."

Someone pointed out the inside joke.

Besides such discussions, there were also plenty of players stuck at certain levels asking for tips from the GOATs.

The game got tougher towards the end.

For a time, netizens showed off their skills, each revealing their secret strategies for passing levels.

Some weren’t satisfied with just one method and began experimenting with different plant combinations to beat the zombies, analyzing which combinations were the most effective and cost-efficient.

Of course.

Some casual players were just quietly planting flowers.

Others focused on adventure mode to explore even more novel ways to play.

Overall, this game totally blew up!

Even Lin Yuan felt the game’s booming popularity!

Because when he went downstairs, he was shocked to see his sister, after getting off work, pulling their younger sister Lin Yao in the living room fighting zombies.

"How did you know about this game?"

"Everyone in our company was playing this game during our break today!"

Lin Xuan said without looking up, "Do you want to join us?"

His sister chimed in, "It’s so much fun!"

Lin Yuan: "..."

No wonder it was a classic game that had led a trend in his previous life.

Meanwhile.

The gaming world also noticed this spectacular game!
