“Plants vs Zombies.” Wen Lingwei replied without even turning around, completely focused on the screen.

“Plants vs… Zombies? Jia Peng thought that the name was direct. Plants on the left, zombies on the right, hence Plants vs Zombies.

Chang Xiuya looked at the plants on the screen and said, “Huh? This mushroom looks so cute, and so does the walnut. Seems pretty cool!”

“Be careful, there’s a zombie munching away at your walnut!” a woman reminded her.

Wen Lingwei wasn’t panicking at all, as she had already gathered plenty of experience. She easily had small problems like this under control. After saving up enough suns, she let go of a Cherry Bomb in the middle of the hordes of zombies. Following a “Boom!“, the zombies in the area turned into ashes.

Cheng Xiuya let out a wow, “You’re good at this!”

Wen Lingwei wasn’t affected by the flattering, “Basic moves. Relax, contain yourself.”

However, even if it didn’t show on her face, she was quite happy.

Although the game might seem simple, the middle to later stages of the game did have some difficulties, and more often than not would cause her to panic slightly.

However as Wen Lingwei gathered more and more experience under her belt, normal emergencies weren’t a problem at all.

Chang Xiuya said, “Senior, this game looks pretty fun. I wanna play too!”

Wen Lingwei said, “Sure you can, just turn on a computer, it’s preinstalled on it.”

Chang Xiuya looked at the people behind her and said, “I wanna play, do you guys want to join?”

Jia Peng saidm “I want to try it out, the game seems quite interesting.”

The others also joined in, “Let’s play together, seeing we’re here already.”

The ten of them went to the counter, swiped their IDs and sat down at computers. Chen Mo had a total of eighteen computers on the first floor, and out of nowhere, eleven of them were now occupied. The first floor was now quite lively.

Jia Peng, Chang Xiuya, and the others entered the game and started registering for their accounts.

“Huh? It looks like you can add friends in this game. I thought this was a single player game?”

“Yeah, what’s the point of adding friends?”

“Maybe it’s because there’s a multiplayer aspect coming, but it only has a simple leaderboard for now. Come, let’s add each other as friends and see who beats the game faster.”

“Wow, Senior Wen is already up to level three! Worthy of being the vice-deputy!”

Plants vs Zombies had always been a game suited for all ages and genders. Although it had a cartoony artstyle, it managed to appeal to all ages.

The reason everyone here was playing the game was because Plants vs Zombies was actually a fun game, and was something new and different. Another reason was that Wen Lingwei was playing it, leading the others to follow suit.

When a majority of people in a small group did something, individuals would also join in in order to not feel left out.

This was also the effect of herd mentality. Even if some within the group didn’t have a good first impression of Plants vs Zombies, they’d still try it out.

Soon, the others were also addicted to the game.

Jia Peng had the most gaming talent and progressed the quickest, not getting stuck on the earlier levels at all as he steamrolled through them. Chang Xiuya, on the other hand, was a bit more clumsy, but she was playing quite seriously. Whenever she got stuck on something she’d get Jia Peng’s advice, and was quite happy playing the game.
