Chapter 250: Stealing Vegetables!
Space Farm this little game is actually very simple; technically speaking, there is no difficulty at all.
Although, on Penguin's side, including Xiao Ma, all senior managers didn't think Space Farm could be useful, after all it was Lu Yu's plan……
The tech department actually worked overtime, seriously following Xu Nian's requirements, and completed this little game with high quality within two days.
After this little game was finished, Penguin actually gave it full promotion.
First came the pop‑up; every user logging into Penguin would receive this little game's pop‑up immediately.
Then it was the headline on Penguin Space.
But…… that's all it was.
After all, nobody thought this so‑called Space Farm would be useful.
So after doing all that, everyone shifted their attention away from Space Farm.
Thus nobody noticed at first how big a stir this tiny game, which only took Penguin's tech department two days to make, actually caused.
……
Xiao Jing is an ordinary white‑collar worker.
This year is her second year working.
Xiao Jing still clearly remembers that in her first year of work, the company had only a few computers, and their main use was still printing……
But how long ago was that?
Now the whole company has one computer per person, and almost all work must be done on computers.
Moreover…… Xiao Jing also noticed that many people in the company now use smartphones, and sometimes even colleagues work on their phones.
The changes of this era are really too fast; even though she is still young, just graduated from college, she actually feels like she's about to be left behind by the times.
Over the past year, technological progress has been really obvious.
Fortunately, Xiao Jing has kept up with the times.
Well, in the company's Penguin group chat, the boss has posted another new task.
Xiao Jing quickly downloaded the file the boss sent, preparing to start today's work.
Just then, a message popped up on Xiao Jing's Penguin, another group chat message.
Of course, the boss isn't in that group……
"Have you guys used Hidden Dragon Technology's Mutual? It feels pretty good to use."
"I feel the same way; on personal display, Mutual is better than what Penguin does."
"Actually, if Penguin didn't have Energetic Dance Troupe, I'd be using Mutual right now."
"Pfft! You say that nicely, but the boss posts work only in Penguin—do you dare uninstall Penguin? You don't want to work anymore?"
Xiao Jing glanced at the few messages in the group and lightly shook her head.
She naturally knows Mutual and already has sufficient understanding of it.
She has made preparations; as soon as the boss gives an order, she will immediately uninstall Penguin and then use Mutual.
For Xiao Jing, what social software she uses isn't important; what matters is keeping up with the times.
Just then, Xiao Jing saw a pop‑up ad from Penguin.
Xiao Jing instinctively clicked open the pop‑up.
"Penguin Farm."
"What a weird name."
Xiao Jing instinctively ignored it, buried herself in work, and didn't notice that Penguin Farm had already been downloaded and completed the download in a short time.
Until after five in the afternoon, Xiao Jing finally finished work and couldn't help stretching.
Another fulfilling day is about to pass!
Now there's still a while before quitting time; following her usual habit, Xiao Jing will open a webpage to look at some interesting news.
She works so hard just to be able to leave on time, and even before quitting time she can relax a bit.
Xiao Jing was about to open a webpage when she noticed a completed task in her download list.
"Penguin Farm"!
Xiao Jing stared, not knowing when she had finished the download.
After hesitating a bit, Xiao Jing opened the game anyway—she was idle, just to see what it was like.
The Penguin Farm interface popped up.
Inside there is a patch of open land where vegetables can be planted.
Of course, those seeds cost money to buy.
Xiao Jing isn't really interested in the game, but……
She now feels that this little game is actually not bad?
She tried buying some seeds, planted some vegetables, and then saw a countdown timer.
For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction and had more anticipation for tomorrow.
Who in urban life has the time and conditions to plant a farm?
Although Penguin Farm is virtual, it still gives people a wonderful sense of participation.
By the time Xiao Jing finished planting, it was already six o'clock—quitting time.
She went home happily.
……
The next day, Xiao Jing arrived at work on time and immediately opened her computer.
Following her usual habit, Xiao Jing would first check the group for any instructions from the boss, but today……
The first thing Xiao Jing did was open her own space; she wanted to see what harvest the seeds she planted yesterday would yield today.
As for later?
Xiao Jing thought that after seeing the delivery, she would no longer waste time on this.
Xiao Jing is a person who clearly understands herself and reality.
She knows she cannot waste too much time on such boring matters.
Then…
Xiao Jing was stunned.
"Your tomatoes, snow peas, and rapeseed have been stolen by Boss Chen."
Xiao Jing saw the vegetable plot……nothing!
Don't even talk about the harvest; even the original seeds are gone!
After a moment, Xiao Jing turned her attention to that prompt message.
Boss Chen is Xiao Jing's note to her boss.
She thought for a moment, clicked the prompt, and the page switched to her boss's farm.
What a guy!
She was angry, Xiao Jing was angry!
The boss's farm was lush and green!
Xiao Jing saw tomatoes, snow peas, and rapeseed at a glance!
For some reason, she felt the tomatoes were especially red, and the snow peas and rapeseed especially tender green.
After a little more time, Xiao Jing finally understood the game's rules.
Steal vegetables!
The boss stole the vegetables she had planted!
Is this boss even human? He exploited her labor, and now he wants to steal her vegetables too?
Xiao Jing made up her mind!
Steal them back!
Steal the boss's field clean!
However…
The time for stealing vegetables is limited!
Xiao Jing temporarily had to let it go, but her anger did not lessen; she kept thinking about this matter.
As a result, Xiao Jing would from time to time open Penguin and open Space Farm that day.
In this process, Xiao Jing discovered that she was not the only one whose vegetables had been stolen.
This made her mood much better.
She also discovered that one person can steal many people's vegetables.
Her eyes lit up!
