Crazy Entertainment System

The next day, Zhao Xiaoyun and Chen Feng took the 100 million yuan given to them by their son and bought a lot of things to give to the children in the welfare home.

Chen Yu didn't come along because he had a lot of things to prepare. Putting aside everything else, he needed to handle the cloud storage and search issues.

Happy Farm gained immense popularity among countless players within just one week of its launch, and a nationwide craze for stealing crops began to unfold.

"Did you steal it?" began to become a common greeting.

"Did you steal today?"

Soon, millions of urban white-collar workers became the main force in the "vegetable stealing" team, enjoying the daily game of "stealing" and preventing "stealing," and even setting alarms to get up in the middle of the night to "steal" vegetables.

Some people find enjoyment in it, while others find the boring game disorienting.

By this time, many hardcore online players had even summarized several lessons learned from "Happy Farm," such as: "In the face of profit, anyone can become a thief who stabs you in the back."

"Making many friends is the key; the more friends you have, the more paths you have."

"Sowing expensive seeds doesn't necessarily guarantee more money, but the losses from planting expensive vegetables will certainly be greater if they are stolen."

"Stealing vegetables is risky, so be careful and think twice before you act!"

"Don't think that stealing vegetables is a small matter; it is still theft."

That's illegal.

These insights, though seemingly just tips for playing games, actually have a certain charm that reflects real life.

The game includes a feature to steal crops, allowing players to steal crops and have fun. Everyone steals crops, and the point is to have fun.

Although people know it's illegal, they don't steal in real life, but they need to release the pressure in real life, so they choose to steal vegetables online as a way to relieve stress.

I know there's a possibility of getting caught again, but I can afford the consequences.

Some citizens have commented on this trend of stealing vegetables.

The saying goes, "What they're stealing isn't vegetables, but loss and loneliness." In reality, many urban white-collar workers have become "mortgage slaves" and "car slaves," and many more can only sigh longingly at houses and private cars, feeling overwhelmed by pressure and helpless.

Vegetable-stealing games can quickly fill the void of anxiety and frustration in real life; "with enough time, one can realize their dream of owning a mansion and a luxury car." At the same time, the act of "stealing" is not permitted in real society, so people use the virtual world as an extreme way to vent their dissatisfaction with reality.

This statement has gained widespread approval from netizens.

Experts wouldn't stand idly by in this situation; they certainly wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity to gain exposure.

Therefore, Director Ma, a psychologist at the National Psychological Management Center, said: In modern cities, white-collar workers face increasing pressure in their lives and work. They entertain themselves in the virtual world in a way that is not recognized by real society, relieving and releasing stress while enjoying the thrill of stimulation, and also satisfying certain curiosities and possessiveness.

Because "stealing" is not illegal online, but Happy Farm reminds players that stealing vegetables is illegal.

However, the symbolic penalty of ten yuan is widely regarded by players as a way for R to make money.

In this way, people can safely vent negative emotions such as stress, anxiety, and anger from real life through "stealing".

"From this perspective, the 'vegetable stealing' game is beneficial to the physical and mental health of white-collar workers."

At the same time, citizens are reminded not to become overly addicted to the "vegetable stealing" online game.

He believes that many citizens are currently addicted to games like "vegetable stealing" mainly because they mistakenly confuse games with reality.

Although R has brought it closer to reality, the effect is still minimal.

Some people are even deliberately escaping reality. This phenomenon is known in psychology as "virtual social addiction."

It's safe to say that the "vegetable stealing" game became incredibly popular, driving countless players crazy.

In just one week, the highest fine imposed on a single person was 120 yuan.

With the addition of various props and seeds, many white-collar workers are very willing to spend money, after all, the items are very cheap.

To protect their vegetable gardens, some people bought 10 Tibetan mastiffs, which cost 500 yuan each.

And the dog food costs five yuan a day.

From the moment Happy Farm was launched to its explosive popularity, only a week later, Penguin Farm, which is 95% similar to Penguin Farm, appeared!

This finally gave people something to complain about.

Many people complained on the official website, saying that the speed of this knockoff is really fast.

Gao Feiyan was not one to be trifled with; she went straight to the courts.

Anyway, I'm not short of lawyer fees.

Tencent didn't expect the other party to act so quickly; they received a court notice just one day after going online.

Faced with the court's notice, the penguin, knowing it was in the wrong, tried to smooth things over.

However, faced with overwhelming evidence, no one dared to speak up for him.

After all, these past few years have been a period of focus for copyright protection.

Unless they don't want to continue working here.

"You bunch of useless trash, if you're going to plagiarize, at least do it properly! You're just copying other people's work verbatim, are you planning to end up in jail?!" The person in charge of Tencent Space shouted in the conference room.

"Mr. Wang, there's nothing we can do about it. You asked us to finish it within three days, and it has to be just like Happy Farm, so we have no choice but to copy it." The engineering department staff objected immediately.

"Liu Ke, you've been with the company for quite a while now, but you still don't use your brains when you do things. I mean, you can come up with something like Happy Farm in three days, but you can think of other ways. They have a farm, we can have a ranch!"

Has your brain rusted and stopped working?

"Mr. Wang, Ranch Family also went online this morning. And it was already registered with the copyright bureau," another employee said.

Wang Kewen was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

These guys are infuriating!

"The meeting is adjourned," Wang Kewen said helplessly. "There's nothing we can do. It's obvious that the other party came prepared. After registering with the copyright bureau, it's practically a patent."

The National Copyright Administration holds a position in China no less important than that of the Patent Office.

However, they simply have different focuses.

Apply for patents for technical matters, but apply for copyrights for cultural matters.

However, it's not that you can't apply for copyright, but rather that culture is too easily imitated, so copyright registration is much faster.

r's rapid development far exceeded Tencent's expectations. More importantly, its user loyalty is extremely high, which Tencent cannot match.

The massive loss of users has now become an undeniable fact.

The company began to take various measures to salvage the situation, but the results were not significant. The Weibo posts they produced were also unsatisfactory, and they were embroiled in a lawsuit, which further discouraged celebrities from using them.
