They wanted to make a trashy game, but how come it sold like hotcakes again?

Chapter 13 What does "no cooldown, no consumption" mean?

Although Hao Zheng was a little angry, he was more surprised by this action.

In an era where beginner tutorials are as common as BabyBus, this kind of operation is quite rare and interesting.

He naturally shared his thoughts, and although the comments in his live stream were generally poor, they were usually fairly fair when it came to game reviews, so most people agreed with his assessment.

The game continues.

That cow started his beginner's tutorial again:

"You don't have any plants that produce sunlight, so I'll lend you a few sunflowers. You'll have to return them to me in Xiaguan."

This is normal. After all, this is a tower defense game. You don't get resources from monsters. All resources, or what we call sunlight, are obtained by sunlight.

The way we get sunlight is too unreliable. It's okay in the beginner levels, but later on we'll definitely need a plant that reliably produces sunlight.

The new game planner at Tangren Games is quite capable to have created a tutorial like this.

Next, the cow became very calm, and the first level was not difficult. Hao Zheng used the keyboard and mouse to place pea shooters on the screen.

At this moment, the cow suddenly spoke up again: "Let me plant a plant for you."

Wow, this cow is quite kind. Seeing that there were no plants here, it actually planted one on its own initiative.

The previously mocked comments have returned, and their arguments contradict Hao Zheng's earlier statements:

"You were just saying it wasn't BabyBus, and now you're trying to please me."

Hao Zheng was speechless; he didn't know why this was included in the beginner's tutorial.

At this point, the bull continued:

"Just one plant isn't very interesting. I have a suggestion: I'll give you a no-cooldown, no-sunlight system. You plant the plants, and I'll dig them up. Let's see who's faster, how about it?"

Hao Zheng gladly accepted.

This game has mouse shortcuts, allowing you to plant 3 plants in 1 second, which is much faster than a cow.

After selecting "yes", things unfolded much as he had imagined. He planted four plants, and it took the cow only a fraction of them to uproot two.

In the blink of an eye, the garden in front of us was almost completely covered with Peashooters, and then the bull said again:

"Your keyboard shortcuts are too overpowered. I'm disabling them."

At this point, Hao Zheng could only plant the plants one by one by hand, but this was not a good solution. Originally, he planted four cows and shoveled two, but now he planted one cow and shoveled two.

In the blink of an eye, all the Peashooters that had filled the screen were wiped out, and the horde of zombies had reached his doorstep. Although the other four lanes were still guarded by lawnmowers, the lane without lawnmowers actually had the most zombies. Even if he wanted to fight back, it was useless, because all the plants on the field had been cleared away by the bull, so basically every plant he planted was cleared away by the bull, and the planted plants couldn't even fire a single pea.

In the blink of an eye, the zombie army entered his house, and a line of filthy green text stained with an unknown liquid appeared on his screen:

"The zombie ate your brain."

Hao Zheng was so angry that he threw his mouse, while the live chat was celebrating wildly:

"23333".

I like this tutorial.

"Where did the person who was talking about BabyBus go?"

"6666, there's another trick up your sleeve? You're planting too fast, I won't allow you to plant so fast."

The chat was flooded with comments, but Hao Zheng wasn't really clueless about live streaming. He pretended to be furious in front of the camera, then slammed the mouse down to start another game.

Having learned from past experience, this time I didn't choose the option to have the other party show the zombie, but instead chose:

"I've already played Plants vs. Zombies."

But what happened next left him speechless.

"Now that you've already played, you don't need the stroller anymore, right?"

In the blink of an eye, the bull had cleared out all the wheelbarrows from his defensive line.

"I give up, are you even human?!"

"No problem, what the cow said makes sense. You've already played around, why would you need a stroller?"

"His gentle touch made me cry; it turns out he really is kind to newcomers."

Although Hao Zheng complained a lot, he still passed the test easily.

This is only the first level. As long as the cow doesn't go crazy and wipe out all the plants like it did in the last round, it's not difficult at all.

However, he still breathed a sigh of relief, after all, this tutorial was too annoying, and unexpected things were bound to happen during the game.

After all, with the rise of the live streaming industry, many games on the market have emerged that primarily sell themselves by pranking players.

While these kinds of games can bring in a lot of traffic, you should at least be mentally prepared, otherwise it wouldn't be good if the game really broke your defenses.

Soon, he arrived at the second level.

And that annoying bull's head is still there.

"Cherry bombs can wipe out zombies within range. Try them out and see how they work."

After completing the previous chapter, several plants were unlocked: sunflower, cherry, potato, and nut.

The cherry bomb the bull was talking about must have been that cherry, but the cherry was clearly cooling down. But the bull didn't care about that; it placed six zombies in two rows and three columns on the grass in front of the house.

Well, we lost three cars at the start of the game.

But could this be considered his tutorial? What's the point of talking about cherry bombs?

But what about the other two? Potatoes and nuts?

But the cow acted as if nothing had happened and returned to its original position.

"Why isn't it exploding? Oh, your cherry bomb is still cooling down."

"It's okay. Although we lost a few carts, I can remove the rest."

"Seriously, is Tangren Games crazy? If they don't want me to use the cart, why did they design it in the first place?"

Although Hao Zheng wasn't exactly on the verge of breaking down, he was genuinely speechless.

This bull is too shameless. Just when you think he's reached his limit, he'll push his boundaries and show you what even more outrageous things he can do.

However, Hao Zheng didn't say anything. The first level proved that the cart was actually dispensable. You could pass the level without the cart, as long as the cow didn't cause any more trouble.

Then came the good news: the cow seemed genuinely remorseful and was prepared to halve the price of sunflowers.

However, it didn't know what the price of a 50-yuan sunflower would be after being halved, and this time it proactively asked the protagonist, Hao Zheng. Now it faced two options: 25 and 0.

Having already gotten used to being tricked, Hao Zheng was afraid the other party would pull some other tricks, so he quickly chose 25. But the bull wouldn't listen to him and insisted:

"You calculated it wrong, it should equal 100."

As always, this was not his limit.

"Speaking of sunflowers, I borrowed five from you last time. You have to return them to me. You have one minute to return five sunflowers, or you're finished."
