Chapter 32
Shi Huazhe wasn’t stupid and knew that Chen Mo had many weird and wonderful ideas up his sleeves. It was entirely possible that Chen Mo could make something that would attract the attention of many people, driving up the sales quickly. Therefore, in order to try and keep what remained of his dignity, Shi Huazhe didn’t dare lowball his estimate.
But, what if he really made it to a hundred thousand?
There wasn’t an inch of Shi Huazhe that wanted to believe that. In his view, the success of Flappybird was completely accidental, as all of Chen Mo’s skills were utterly terrible. Surely he was not able to get lucky like that again and again in the future?

12 PM…
That was crazy!
Moreover, the ratings were ranging between 9.1 to 9.4, and never dipping below 9. This meant that the players rated the game very highly, and would more than likely maintain this in the future.
Jia Peng was shocked, and exclaimed, “Look at the new games leaderboard!”
First place on the new mobile games leaderboard was now Plants vs Zombies!
“Yeesh, isn’t that too fast? Being on the leaderboard just after one cycle, that’s insanely good!” Jia Peng couldn’t believe it either.
The new games leaderboard wasn’t impossible to climb. Companies like Emperor Dynasty Entertainment or Zen Entertainment could easily reach the top of the leaderboard right after release by advertising and hyping up the game.
However, Chen Mo hadn’t spent a single cent on advertising Plants vs Zombies! Reaching the top of the new games leaderboards one hour after release, that was the stuff of fairy tales!
On the new games leaderboard, Adventures of the Storm Rider was in third place, while Plants vs Zombies was at the top in first place.
After receiving a recommended space, Adventures of the Storm Rider had been gaining momentum. But it stood no chance against Plants vs Zombies.
If Adventures of the Storm Rider had a standing start, Plants vs Zombies had a shooting start. How can you compare when the number of players are of different magnitudes?
The video games media was also shocked. They also thought that Plants vs Zombies had a high chance of going viral, and becoming the biggest dark horse of the month!
Although the statistics at the twenty-four hour mark were more significant for extrapolation, the three hour numbers for Plants vs Zombies were extremely good, even beating some works from large companies!
The explosiveness of Plants vs Zombies caused some minor panic within the video game media, but this was all within Chen Mo’s calculations.
Climbing to the top of the new games leaderboard? That wasn’t even a small goal for Chen Mo…
