During the afternoon, Wen Lingwei and Chang Xiuya brought a few of their own friends to the store.

The store that was normally half-full was now quite lively. Some of them went to the computers while others sat on the massage chairs to play on their phone, but they all were playing Plants vs Zombies.

1Wen Lingwei and Chang Xiuya came to the front of the bar and asked, “I heard the game went online today. How did it go?”

Jia Peng said, “Too well. Just take a look; it reached the top of the new games leaderboards in the first leaderboards update, completely destroying the other games!”

Chang Xiuya said, “Wow! The manager’s so good!”

Wen Lingwei clicked her tongue, “Yo yo yo! That’s good luck if I’ve ever seen it. So, is the game going viral?”

Chen Mo replied, “For now, not necessarily. It depends on the next round of recommendations, and there’s also the statistics that happen after that…”

Wen Lingwei shot a glance at Chen Mo and said, “Can you speak like a normal person?”

Chen Mo replied, “Yup, it’s going viral.”

Jia Peng and Chang Xiuya both let out a snicker and barely held back their laughter.

Wen Lingwei said, “Alright, since it’s going viral, there’s no need to keep looking at the app store. It doesn’t make you seem confident.”

Chen Mo said, ” I’ll just check out the player discussions, I have nothing else to do for now anyways.”

Wen Lingwei pointed at her screen and demanded, “Teach me how to go beyond level one hundred on endless mode.”

Chen Mo was speechless.

Jia Peng cried out, “Senior, you can’t do that, that’s cheating!”

Chang Xiuya was also protesting, “Yeah, you’re already in first place anyways!”

Wen Lingwei rolled her eyes and said, “You guys don’t know jack. This game is about to get a bunch of players. It’s just a matter of time! In two days, some genius-level player is going to surpass me in endless mode. I’m just preparing for the inevitable, understand?”

Another guy who stood beside Jia Peng poked him and whispered, “Are you stupid? Any secrets that the manager gives to Senior Wen will be passed down to us eventually.”

Jia Peng and Chang Xiuya were stunned and realized, “Oh, yeah!”

“Manager, secret to beating the levels, please!”

The students in the experience store banded together soon after, urging Chen Mo to leak some tips for getting through Endless Mode.

Wen Lingwe waved her hand to present the crowd, “Do you see this, manager? This is what the people want.”

Chen Mo was speechless. “If this is what the people want, you must be the dictator…”

Wen Lingwei said, “Hurry up! I came all the way here to support you today, can’t you just give us a hint?”

Chen Mo said, “If I remember correctly, it takes less than ten minutes for you guys to get here from the University…”

Chang Xiuya said, “Yeah, manager. We are basically your most loyal fans, can’t you give us a tiny edge over the others?”

Everyone started joining in…

Taking turns to voice their support…

Pestering…

Chen Mo had nothing to say. He didn’t want to give out any strategies, as a big part of puzzle games like these was finding out your own solution. He could spoil it, but wouldn’t that ruin it? It would also inhibit the exploration processes of the others.

However, if he doesn’t let out anything today, these people likely wouldn’t give up.

“Alright, I’ll demonstrate the hint. It’ll depend on you guys as to how much you can get out of it,”

Chen Mo said as he turned on his laptop.

“Yay! It worked!” Chang Xiuya quickly moved closer to Chen Mo. The others dropped their games and surrounded the bar table, wanting to find out what Chen Mo was about to show.

Was there a strategy that was able to clear endless mode infinitely? Or as Chen Mo said, the real game started beyond level one hundred! What strategy would be used to get past the hundredth level?

Soon after, the bar table was completely surrounded.

Wen Lingwei let out a cough, and two of the guys gave her some space seemingly naturally.
